Jeremy Clarkson on the UK’s grooming-gang failures and soft sentencing -
Clarkson has argued that another public inquiry into the grooming gangs is unnecessary as we already know what the problem is.
As he wrote in The Sun:
“I do not believe we need a public inquiry into the grooming gangs. Public inquiries are just rooms full of people who deploy mock incredulity in the hopes they’ll end up on the Six O’Clock News. And we simply don’t need a dusty old baroness to tell us what the problem is, because we already know.”
The real barrier, in his view, has been political correctness. He described a girl reporting that she had been raped by “a gang of Pakistani man,” only to be told to have “a cup of tea” to “feel better,” because the officer knows that if he reports the crime “he will be accused of racism and get cancelled.”
His conclusion was direct:
“We need to remove the shackles of political correctness from the police. We need to explain that it’s not racist to investigate a rapist. Do that, and we’re halfway there.”
In a later column about three teenage boys convicted of raping two girls (aged 14 and 15) at knifepoint, then filming and uploading the attacks, Clarkson was equally blunt about the sentence -
“So let me see if I’ve got this straight. In two separate incidents, three teenage boys took part in the rape of two girls – aged 14 and 15 – at knifepoint. They also filmed the attacks and uploaded the footage to the internet. The scumbags were found guilty and last week a judge, Nicholas Rowland, let them off with a slap on the wrist. It beggars belief.”
When the judge said he wanted to avoid “criminalising” the boys, Clarkson replied: “WHAT????!!?! They did that to themselves when they raped those girls.”
The consistent point across both pieces is that protecting children and properly investigating and punishing rape should not be subordinated to political sensitivities or misplaced leniency.

What the hell was she doing in the National party?
Vanessa Weenink in political terms is clearly far more suited to the Labour party than to National. Yet the National selection committee picked her to run in Banks Peninsula in 2023.
Why? Because the group of list MPs who made up Luxon's fan club in the party are all left as hell too.
There have been consistent rumblings about the way the party hierarchy interfered with local boards in the matter of selecting candidates.
Said hierarchy did this because 1) legacy media told them to and 2) none of them hold to a political ideology that might allow them to resist.
Weak wet liberals, they couldn't wait to fearfully kneel to their betters at One News, or Radio NZ.
The video shows party leader Luxon doing exactly that. Hurriedly prostrating himself to a collection of pathetic little legacy media gnomes. Instead of telling them where to go.
A bunch of National's wet weak liberal list MPs have been shown the door by the voters.
Party leader Luxon, who presided over all of this, needs to follow them ASAP.

Scepticism of the Russell Brand rape conviction is warranted
Russell Brand was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 10½ years. The rape conviction rests on the 2009 allegation by the complainant known as Woman 5. A jury verdict deserves respect, but the evidence on the most serious charge is thin enough that reasonable observers can still doubt it.
Woman 5 was a young fan. On her evidence and that of a friend who was with her, she was selected or pointed out in the foyer of the Hammersmith Apollo shortly after Brand’s show and invited backstage. She told the court she willingly took part in a threesome in the dressing room with Brand and another woman she did not know. A friend described seeing her use her mouth on Brand’s anus while the other woman performed oral sex on him. She had a boyfriend at the time; she later said she refused full penetrative sex that night because of him but still joined in the oral and group activity. She later called the episode a “huge mistake” and said she had not painted herself in a good light. Days later she went to Brand’s house knowing, by her own account, that they would have sex. The encounter began with what she described as consensual vaginal sex; she alleged it became rape when he turned her over for anal penetration without her consent, ignored her requests to stop, and afterwards told her to clean up the mess.
Friends and family later gave evidence that, near the time, she had described the anal act as non-consensual and painful and had said she asked him to stop. A sexual-health nurse’s written statement, read to the court, recorded that Woman 5 had told her Brand “had anal sex without a condom and she didn’t want that and didn’t consent to that.” The wording is narrower than a blanket claim of non-consent to anal sex itself. Yet in 2023, after the Channel 4 Dispatches film and while journalists were seeking further accounts, she wrote privately: “I’m not sure my story has much in it. I was an idiot, young and stupid, probably as much to blame.” That is not the language of someone who had already settled on a clear narrative of rape. She formalised the allegation only later.
A detail frequently cited in support is a text exchange she recalled from the Edinburgh Festival months later, in which Brand is said to have called her “dirty,” she replied that he had treated her “like an animal,” and he answered “I’m sorry.” No phones or records survive. A boyfriend from the period saw that Brand was texting her but could not recall the content. Friends later heard her account of the messages; none independently confirmed the wording. Much of the media has nevertheless reported the exchange as established fact rather than an uncorroborated memory.
These features matter because this is the allegation that produced the rape conviction. The other counts on which Brand was found guilty are lesser sexual assaults. If the strongest charge rests on a delayed formal report from a woman who, on the evidence presented, had already engaged in highly explicit group sex with him within minutes of meeting him, who later expressed self-blame, and whose key supporting “text” evidence cannot be verified, the case does not justify the surrounding rhetoric.
That rhetoric has frequently cast Brand as comparable to Jimmy Savile. The comparison is grotesque. Savile was a serial child abuser who used institutional power over decades to prey on the vulnerable, often in hospital and BBC settings, leaving hundreds of victims. The Brand prosecution’s lead rape case, by contrast, involves an adult fan who (on her own and a friend’s account) initiated explicit sexual contact with him almost immediately, later expressed self-blame, and whose key supporting detail is a remembered text conversation no one else saw. Treating the two as akin is not serious analysis; it is moral inflation that collapses under the evidence actually presented at trial.

Al Gore is a fraud.
My condolences to Lonnie Thompson, but his climate predictions were dead wrong.
In a 2002 paper authored by Thompson and 10 other scientists, they predicted that Mt. Kilimanjaro's permanent ice fields and glaciers would completely disappear within 15–20 years. But they're still there.
In his 2006 “documentary,” An Inconvenient Truth, Gore stated in reference to Thompson et al.'s prediction that “Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro.”
However, as of September 7th (the latest image I took from the live cam before it went down for maintenance), there's lots of snow atop the mountain.
🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Lonnie Thompson went to the ends of the Earth and above the clouds to document and understand the effects of the climate crisis on our planet. Across the highest mountain ranges, from the Andes to the Himalaya, his physically arduous and heroic research revealed the rapid decline of the world’s highest glaciers. And his meticulously documented findings from the ice cores he carried back down the mountains had an impact far beyond the scientific community. His lifelong determination to communicate what he discovered about the global impact of the climate crisis with policymakers and the public was extraordinary. For more than three decades, Lonnie and his wife and scientific collaborator Ellen Mosley-Thompson were trusted advisors to me and many others on climate science. Lonnie was an invaluable ally in the global movement to solve the climate crisis and was a cherished friend I will miss dearly. nytimes.com/2026/11/06/scien…

Chris Hipkins should be ashamed of himself. Election denial is selfish and, as I wrote before the election, destabilising.
Vote splitting created an overhang on both sides and he is destroying any credibility he had left by trying to push the narrative that National stole the election.
I hope decent people on the Labour side tell him to pull his head in. Our democratic system delivered this result. We can talk about how to improve it but this rhetoric from Hipkins is utterly shameful. Bitter starts now.
Completely agree - @dbseymour and @winstonpeters please get your positions agreed and meet Luxon together. It's time @NZNationalParty understood that it is an equal partner in the coalition and not the controlling party. #nzpol
If the Coalition gets power again, NZF and ACT should do a deal before talking to National.
Last time Luxon kept all the powerful roles to National, and that had poor outcomes .
National must be forced to forfeit Finance and one other major portfolio (Health?), together with media. Finance going to Stobo and Health or Justice going to Seymour or someone else in ACT.
NZF/ACT must work together to force Luxon to give some real power away.
But Luxon will want to play them off against each other, and use Labour to pass horrible laws again as he has been.

The False Prophet of Principle: The Pathetic, Humiliating End of Thomas Massie
The political landscape is littered with the carcasses of grandstanders who mistook their own narcissism for a movement. Yet few have plummeted into absolute irrelevance quite like Thomas Massie, a man whose entire career was a long con played on the very conservative base he now desperately tries to sabotage. Massie is not a principled libertarian warrior. He is a disgraced, lame-duck obstructionist who was utterly humiliated by the voters of Kentucky, rejected by President Trump, and exposed as a petty, vindictive failure who would rather burn down his own party than admit he lost. The truth about Thomas Massie is not just that he is a terrible congressman; it is that he is a fundamentally repulsive political actor whose legacy is nothing but noise, failure, and betrayal.
Let us start with the most glaring reality that Massie and his sycophants refuse to accept: he was decisively crushed in his own district. The voters of Kentucky’s 4th District looked at a man they had elected for seven terms, looked at his record of obstruction, looked at the Trump-endorsed alternative in Ed Gallrein, and fired Massie. It was a 55-45 blowout in a deep-red district. Trump called him exactly what he is: an "obstructionist," a "bum," and a "pathetic loser." Massie likes to pretend he is the vanguard of "America First," but when the actual voters of an America First district were given the chance, they recognized him as a fraud and threw him out. He is a repudiated politician clinging to the last shreds of his relevance, a man whose mandate evaporated the moment real conservatives decided they wanted someone who actually works with the President instead of throwing tantrums for Twitter clout.
His entire legislative record is a monument to performative uselessness. Massie is famous for being "Mr. No," a title he wears with unearned pride. In reality, this means he is utterly incapable of building coalitions, passing meaningful legislation, or advancing conservative victories. Remember 2020, when he forced a recorded vote on the CARES Act, demanding lawmakers fly back to Washington in the middle of a pandemic just so he could preen for the cameras? Trump rightfully labeled him a "third-rate grandstander." Massie doesn't want to govern; he wants to object. He votes against the President’s signature initiatives, like the "One Big Beautiful Bill," not out of some deep constitutional devotion, but because his entire brand relies on being the contrarian gadfly. He is a legislative parasite, feeding off the hard work of actual conservative lawmakers while contributing absolutely nothing but procedural headaches.
But nowhere is his toxicity more evident than in his repulsive, isolating record on Israel. Massie stands alone, often aligning only with the radical left-wing Squad, in his refusal to support America's strongest ally in the Middle East. He was the sole member of Congress to vote against a resolution simply reaffirming Israel’s right to exist. He consistently votes against military aid to Israel, including the Iron Dome, actively seeking to leave them defenseless against terrorist rockets. And when he was finally and deservedly routed in his primary, what was his response? A vile, pathetic joke about having to call Gallrein "in Tel Aviv," framing his defeat as a Jewish conspiracy rather than a reflection of his own failures. He traffics in dual-loyalty tropes and pushes legislation designed to target pro-Israel groups, validating the worst instincts of the antisemitic fringe. Major Jewish organizations have repeatedly condemned his rhetoric, and for good reason. He is a man who would rather cozy up to the talking points of Hamas sympathizers than stand with a crucial American ally.
And now, we see the true measure of the man in his lame-duck session. Having been thoroughly rejected by his voters, Massie is spending his final months engaging in a pathetic, scorched-earth revenge tour. Instead of quietly packing up his office, he is actively trying to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the necessary and successful operations in Iran and Yemen. He is literally joining forces with House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries to attack a Republican administration’s defense secretary. This is not principle; this is a petulant child throwing a fit because his toys were taken away. He is using his remaining sliver of power to undermine American foreign policy and sabotage a Trump appointee, proving definitively that his loyalty has always been to his own ego, never to the country or the conservative movement.
Even his vaunted claims of integrity fall apart under scrutiny. This is a man who signed a term-limits pledge to run as a "fresh face," then comfortably squatted in his seat for 14 years, violating the core spirit of the promise he made to voters. He plays the folksy, off-grid farmer, while cultivating a career built entirely on endless Washington obstruction. And while he preaches transparency, he leaves a trail of controversies and allegations in his wake, including highly publicized and messy disputes involving claims of hush money. The image of the principled, incorruptible outsider is a meticulously crafted lie, designed to obscure a career politician whose only real accomplishment is a long list of people he has managed to infuriate.
Thomas Massie is a relic, a failed experiment in performative contrarianism who has finally been excised from the conservative body politic. He is a man who voted with the Squad, undermined the President, alienated our allies, and threw legislative tantrums while accomplishing absolutely nothing of substance. He will be remembered not as a principled maverick, but as a footnote of failure: the grandstander who got exactly what he deserved when the voters finally had enough of his pathetic, self-serving antics. Good riddance to the worst Republican in Congress.

I think we're entering a civilizational rupture that nobody can predict. Not me, not the labs, not governments.
I don't know how much people realize how fast we're moving.
Look at what Anthropic's new model did during testing.
It solved two open problems in theoretical physics, both on black holes. One of the calculations was laid out in 2003 and nobody had ever finished it, because it was too laborious.
It formalized the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in 30 hours, with a thousand agents that organized themselves. The first attempt took 11 days.
It wrote an operating system that boots on a laptop, starting from an empty folder, in 8 days.
It designed three electronic devices, boards, enclosures and software included. All three worked without a single electrical modification.
It found a new method to predict the structure of viral capsids, the shells used to deliver gene therapies.
And on robot control, it more than doubled the previous version's score.
All of that in a single announcement, on a Monday.
I think discoveries are going to stack up so fast that they'll produce an abundance we've never known: energy, health, materials, food. And with it a phase of immense joy, the joy of a civilization realizing that scarcity was never a law of nature.
Except that joy is going to land in a world order that's cracking everywhere, and that was designed by Malthusians. People convinced that resources are finite, that there are too many of us, and that the job of an enlightened elite is to manage scarcity on everyone else's behalf.
To me, Bill Gates is the most famous face of that worldview: a man nobody elected, who has weighed on the planet's health, agriculture and climate policies for twenty years. The degrowth crowd is the militant version. They don't even want to manage scarcity anymore, they want to organize it.
Abundance is the worst possible news for that worldview. If energy becomes nearly free and diseases fall one after another, nobody needs anyone to ration anything for them.
So I don't think they'll fight it. I think they'll try to capture it.
In the name of safety, climate or public health, we'll be told this power is too dangerous to be left in everyone's hands. We already saw the movie during Covid: the permission slips, the passes, the QR code to go get a coffee. Now imagine the same logic with an AI that can see everything, trace everything and decide everything in real time. Orwell never imagined a tool like that.
The technology is winning on its own. The question of the next ten years is who abundance will belong to.
We are living through the greatest civilizational revolution in human history. It's happening right now, and most people are looking the other way.
And so we enter the period of time when strong men rise to reclaim the rights of the many over the inadequacies of the few. Excellent timing, because the World is succumbing to the weak woke left agenda with every passing year.
Le mensonge de l’ONU vient de s’effondrer en une semaine sur Haïti.
Pendant 30 ans, l’ONU et la « communauté internationale » ont multiplié les résolutions, les missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), les rapports, les expertises et les mandats limités.
Résultat : les gangs contrôlent 80-90 % de Port-au-Prince, des milliers de morts par an, plus d’un million de déplacés, un État fantôme. La Force de Suppression des Gangs, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité, a mis plus d’un an à déployer environ 1 500 hommes avec un impact dérisoire. Les gangs ont même réussi à tendre une embuscade à des techniciens salvadoriens sous mandat ONU.
Bukele arrive. En une dizaine de jours, il déploie plus de 2 000 soldats salvadoriens davantage que toute la force ONU, hors du carcan bureaucratique et des chaînes de commandement multilatérales. Pas de six mois de négociations, pas de rapports de 200 pages, pas de « respect des droits des gangs ». Juste des soldats, des blindés, des hélicoptères, et une volonté claire.
Et soudain, les gangs se cachent. Les habitants sortent dans la rue, crient, célèbrent. Le mot d’ordre est simple : « Se débloque le pays ». Les chefs de gangs appellent l’ONU pour « dialoguer » et demander la médiation. La panique s’installe chez ceux qui terrorisaient le pays depuis des années.
Ce n’est pas un miracle. C’est la démonstration que le problème n’a jamais été « trop complexe pour être résolu ». Le problème, c’était le dogme : que seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale, obsédée par les « droits humains » des criminels, pouvait être légitime. Que la souveraineté, la force décisive et les résultats concrets étaient suspects.
Bukele a déjà prouvé chez lui qu’on pouvait casser les gangs. Il vient de le montrer en Haïti en une semaine, pendant que l’ONU en parlait depuis trois décennies. Les Haïtiens dans la rue l’ont compris plus vite que les experts de New York et de Genève.
La question n’est plus « comment faire ? ».
Elle est : combien de temps encore allons-nous prétendre que les processus internationaux qui perpétuent le chaos sont la seule solution possible ?
A bon entendeur.

Agree, Luxon is a manager not a leader. Time to clean house @NZNationalParty #nzpol
Christopher Luxon still doesn't get it - Viva la Revolución!
Without vote-splitting from centre-right voters, we'd presently have a Labour-led coalition government because of Te Pāti Māori's split-vote overhang seats and the Opportunity party seats. Luxon still denies the split-vote strategy and states that he'll get through polcies using Labour's support instead.
Now is the time National party MPs. Fire Luxon, take back the National party and save our country.

Hey @grok , if Russell Brand has just been given 10.5 years in prison, why aren't the people in the Pakistani Rape Gangs and other illegal migrants given the same sort of sentences?
Agree - best man for the job!
Nicola Willis is out of Parliament. That means the next Finance Minister is still to be decided.
National’s best option has already been tried and found wanting. Willis had an English literature degree, no serious economics or financial markets background, and the numbers under her watch speak for themselves. Yet Christopher Luxon is still insisting the role must stay with a National MP.
That’s not about capability. That’s about party branding.
Craig Stobo is in a different category. Economics degree, years running multi-billion dollar funds, deep experience in capital markets, and a track record chairing major financial institutions. On any unbiased look at qualifications and experience, he is clearly ahead of the other names being floated — most of whom would be better suited as Associate Finance Minister.
The coalition cannot afford another unqualified Finance Minister. If the economy doesn’t recover, the government will pay for it at the next election. Backing Stobo isn’t about one party winning a portfolio. It’s about putting the person who actually knows the job in the job.

The Branding of a Dissident: The UK's Corrupt Judiciary Just Sentenced Truth to 10 Years in Hell
The United Kingdom has just witnessed the ultimate display of selective justice, a spectacle so transparently corrupt it should make every single person with a shred of decency sick to their stomach.
Russell Brand has been handed a sentence of 10 years and 6 months by Judge Joel Bennathan at Southwark Crown Court.
This is not justice. This is a political hit job wrapped in the robes of the law, designed to destroy a man who dared to challenge the very establishment that now sits in judgment of him.
Look at the numbers. Look at the sheer audacity of this so-called "justice system." Brand was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, alleged to have occurred between 2004 and 2009.
For this, he receives a decade behind bars. Yet, where is this same iron fist when it comes to actual, proven violent criminals who happen to align with the narratives the elite despise? The hypocrisy is staggering. We see individuals convicted of genuine, violent rape cases receiving suspended sentences or walking free with time served because they fit the profile of the "victim" or the "perpetrator" that the media complex prefers. But Brand? A man who has openly discussed his past addictions and who has become a vocal critic of the pharmaceutical industry, the media, and the government's control mechanisms? He gets the book thrown at him with a speed and severity that is frankly terrifying.
The judge, Joel Bennathan, had the gall to lecture Brand about "fame" and "arrogance".
Let's be clear about what this really is. This is the establishment punishing dissent. Brand's "crime" in the eyes of the state was not what happened in a private room twenty years ago, which he has consistently denied, claiming all encounters were consensual.
His real crime was becoming too influential, too questioning, and too dangerous to the narrative. The fact that a jury convicted him after a four-week trial where he was found not guilty of two counts of rape and one count of attempted indecent assault shows the fragility of the case against him.
Even with the deck stacked, with the media circus demanding blood, they could only get a conviction on a fraction of the charges. And yet, the sentence is 10.5 years.
Compare this to the absolute travesty we see in other cases. We have seen individuals convicted of violent crimes, crimes with DNA evidence and immediate reporting, receive sentences that are a fraction of this for far more egregious acts. The disparity is not an accident. It is a feature of a system that has been infiltrated by ideological zealots who view the law as a weapon to be used against their enemies. The left and their allies in the judiciary and the media have created a culture where an accusation is a conviction, and where the accused is guilty until proven innocent, a complete inversion of the very principles this country was built upon.
The fact that Brand will serve two-thirds of this sentence before any possibility of release is a testament to the severity with which the state is treating this.
They are making an example of him. They are sending a message to anyone else who might think about stepping out of line, about questioning the official narrative, about challenging the power structures that govern our lives. This is about silencing a voice that has become too loud, too popular, and too effective at exposing the rot at the heart of our institutions.
This entire process, from the initial accusations that were eagerly amplified by every major media outlet without question, to the swift and severe sentencing, has been a masterful manipulation of the public. They want you to believe this is about justice for women. It is not. It is about justice for the state. It is about crushing a man who has become a symbol of resistance. The left's obsession with canceling, de-platforming, and now imprisoning those who disagree with them has reached its logical conclusion. They have no arguments left. They have no moral high ground. All they have is the power of the state, and they are using it with a ruthlessness that should terrify every single one of us.
The UK justice system has today proven itself to be nothing more than a tool of political repression. It is corrupt, it is biased, and it is fundamentally broken. Russell Brand is a political prisoner, and his imprisonment is a stain on the soul of this nation that will not be easily washed away.
We must stand with him, not because he is perfect, but because if they can do this to him, they can do it to anyone. And they will.

RNZ $11.8 million dollar loss
This is some of what $65 million dollars a year gets us from RNZ:
1. RNZ exclaims it's New Zealand's most trusted news brand, even though it only achieved a 57% trust rating.
2. During this election RNZ has shown its blatant bias, giving more favourable coverage to the Opportunity Party and the Greens, than to any other political parties: youtube.com/shorts/7SYszcrrW…
3. And today the new CEO is shocked to find there is a $12 million dollar loss when he was only expecting a $400,000 loss. The blowout is being blamed on accounting blunders, excessive personal expenses, unapproved overdrafts, etc.
Should New Zealanders trust RNZ? Definitely not.
What I'm seeing is an undisciplined public organisation that is burning through taxpayer dollars, that it wasn't approved to spend, and a lack of governance and authority within the organisation to control extremely leftist producers and reporters in its organisation from pushing their own activist ideologies.
Either sell RNZ or enforce its charter that mandates fair, accurate, and balanced reporting. This farce has to stop.

Is it time to defund the State media? I do not agree with my taxes funding @radionz or @TVNZ. @actparty @nzfirst #nzpol
Opportunity's rise was calculated by media, dating back to earlier this year. By doing some digging, here is what I found:
When the government delivered its May 2026 budget, mainstream media outlets actively sought out "alternative economic voices." Instead of just interviewing the standard opposition parties, several prominent political editors gave significant prime-time slots to Qiulae Wong to critique the budget. This early exposure introduced her to a massive national audience as a credible economic commentator before she was ever included in major polls.
Wong released a piece on Opp's website when the budget came out, labeling it "managed decline": opportunity.org.nz/the_pray_…
Having previously shown at 2 - 3% in previous polls, they then jumped to 6. This was the result of media attention after the budget.
This was followed by Radio New Zealand & The Detail Media Circuit: This early media push directly followed the unveiling of her party's comprehensive "Tax Reset" earlier that month. During prominent features like On Air: Qiulae Wong on our Tax Reset, Wong used major prime-time slots to lay down the alternative economic framework - including a universal $370 tax-free weekly income funded by a land value tax - that she used to challenge the government's budget assumptions.
By June they polled at 6.5% and rose to 8% and then 9.5% by the end of August. Then came 8% in Sept, and 7.2% by Oct. Their highest was 10% by the end of October. They dipped a bit prior to the election, but the constant media attention kept them in the limelight right up to voting day, when others like Winston Peters were largely ignored.
There is no comparison between 2023 Opp. and Opp in 2026. From Oct. 2023 to May 2026, they POLLED 0 in every poll! MSM recognised potential in a new leader and blatently pushed her, and the polls began to reflect it.
Opportunity & Qiulae Wong are media constucts, funded by some big left money.
The following graph shows the rise from May, 2026.
In September, Javier Milei stood at the UN General Assembly and said what nobody in that room wanted to hear: the institution now exists to feed "a caste of fatally arrogant parasites disguised as well-intentioned bureaucrats."
He wasn't only talking about the UN.
That caste is everywhere. Over decades, the left and the corruption that travels with it have infiltrated every institution that matters: ministries, universities, NGOs, international bodies, newsrooms. This isn't a few bad apples. It's systemic.
And we are all paying the bill. Record public debt across the West, collapsing public services, nations that can no longer keep their own streets safe. That's not bad luck. It's the direct consequence of a system that rewards capture instead of results.
Here's the good news: the answers are no longer theoretical. They've been tested in the real world.
On the economy: Milei. He took a country everyone had written off, took a chainsaw to the state, and broke an inflation spiral the experts swore was unbreakable.
On security: Bukele. El Salvador went from murder capital of the world to one of the safest countries in the Americas in a few years. The same experts said that was impossible too.
The playbook exists. It works. And every country on earth can apply it.
I believe the next five years will be historic. A turning point on the scale of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
And when it comes, we will need a Nuremberg 2.0. Not of individuals, but of an entire system of lies. A system that used the media, artists, culture and even the courts to hide its own failures and silence anyone who pointed them out. Every lie exposed, documented, put on the record, so it can never happen again.
Now watch closely what that system is doing right now: everything in its power to ban AI, or capture it.
It's no accident that Milei used the same UN speech to reject pre-emptive AI regulation. AI is the one thing the caste can't control. A tool that lets any individual verify, build, create and speak without asking the gatekeepers for permission.
So they will try to regulate it, license it, and own it. And AI in the hands of that caste is the perfect infrastructure for a totalitarian state.
Europe is already on those rails.
The choice for the next decade is simple: freedom or the caste.
Pick a side.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is our separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
—We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks.
--We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.
--When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World."
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Yesterday’s election confirmed what so many already knew -National’s list MPs were never getting back in. The maths never lies. The writing had been on the wall for a long long time. Losing talented people is incredibly sad and i'm gutted for some of them.
But strategic voting helped National win electorates and create an overhang to counter the left’s almost flawlessly executed overhang strategy. Without it the centre-right would have little chance of forming the next government. The left used the rules of MMP. The right had to do the same to have a chance.
The numbers show a 20% increase in vote splitting on the right from the last election. The message clearly gained traction and thankfully has given the centre-right a real chance of forming the next government.
Yet 706,000 party votes still went to National without adding seats beyond its electorate wins. Essentially wasted votes.
I do wonder whether @NZNationalParty should have understood that maths and been more upfront about it with voters. Once the list seats were out of reach the success of the right bloc should have become the priority.
We can be sad about losing good people and still recognise why strategic voting made sense. The maths doesn’t change to suit party loyalties.
For me this comes back to the future we want for New Zealand.
We should remember the damage history shows socialist and communist economic policies have done when they crush incentives to build and invest. They shrink the pie and drive out talent and capital. Then politicians act surprised when productivity falls and living standards go backwards.
Sometimes I think the left forgets how much our living standards depend on businesses creating jobs and wealth. You cannot keep promising to spend more without backing the people who make that possible.
At ZURU we employ hundreds of people here and plan to grow that to thousands over the next decade. Around 99.5% of our projected revenue of more than $10 billion next year will come from overseas. We are fighting to bring more of that wealth home and create opportunities for talented Kiwis to build careers and eventually businesses of their own.
We need more companies doing that. More investment. More well-paid jobs. A bigger tax base to pay for better hospitals and schools. Higher living standards for everyone and better support for our most vulnerable.
I want young people to see a future here and families to get ahead. That takes a country willing to back people who build things and create wealth.
That is what I care about. Far more than any one party.
At the end of the day I want NZ to kick ass.
Agreed, we need to exclude non-citizens from all forms of public governance. Look at the mess we have in Europe with Islamist immigrants being voted in to then seek to adopt Sharia Law - unacceptable!
