Dennis Prager does a brief investigation of the Obama administration Things that everyone should know about the 8 years of President Obama Thank you @DennisPrager

@DefiyantlyFree Talks like an intelligent and principled moral person but continually sniffing the wind and adjusting her stance accordingly.

Megyn Kelly has spent three decades positioning herself as a truth-teller, a straight shooter, a journalist who asks the hard questions regardless of consequence. It is a magnificent performance. The reality is that every single position Megyn Kelly has ever held tracks almost perfectly with what serves Megyn Kelly’s platform, and bank account at that specific moment. At Fox News she cheerled the Iraq and Afghanistan wars for 14 years, attacked Obama for daring to question them, and called anyone who expressed doubt about the mission unpatriotic and faithless to the troops. Then she left Fox, needed a new identity, and reinvented herself as the voice of antiwar conservatism admitting openly that she spent 14 years “cheerleading” wars and “accepting all the administration’s bullshit.” And immediately the first thing she did was not questioned legitimate things or bring up legitimate arguments or even give us a legitimate update updates about the war. Instead, she did exactly what she spent 14 years the berating Democrats for doing. The trans issue is the same story. At NBC in 2018, Kelly hosted trans kids on her show, led studio audiences in cheering for them, used every approved term “gender affirming care,” “assigned male at birth,” “cis” smiled politely when guests said gender was a social construct, and later admitted “I didn’t see the harm.” Then NBC cancelled her show. Then she needed conservative podcast listeners. By 2022 she was calling gender-affirming care “a weird form of conversion therapy.” By 2023 she declared she was “done with preferred pronouns” and was deliberately misgendering trans people on air. By 2024 she was calling anyone who markets Pride products to children a groomer. This is not a position you could flip-flop on. The excuse, my children doesn’t work if you had children when you were pushing this narrative the first time. Her relationship with Trump is the most brazen example of her lack of character. In 2015 she confronted him over calling women fat pigs. In 2016 she implied he was a sexual predator after the Access Hollywood tape. Then she spent years rehabilitating their relationship as her podcast audience skewed MAGA. By 2024 she was standing on a stage at a Trump rally telling women he would be their “protector.” She endorsed him, defended him. Then winds changed. The money was on the anti-war side. And it’s also very important to realize she didn’t start these crazy ideas until after Charlie Kirk died. In fact, none of these lunatics were such lunatics while Charlie Kirk was still alive. Don’t get me wrong. This is all brewing under the surface and many of us knew it but they had to contain themselves while he was alive. Then the Iran war happened and she disagreed with it personally and overnight she called him gullible, weak, Genghis Khan, a man threatening war crimes who “can’t behave like a normal human.” She called Mark Levin her Fox News colleague of years, a man doing exactly what she did for 14 years “Micropenis Mark,” and other unhinged lunacy. She didn’t break with Trump over principle. She broke with Trump because she’s self-serving. What makes Megyn Kelly uniquely corrosive is that she wraps every pivot in the language of courage and accountability. When she admitted cheerleading Iraq she framed it as brave honesty. When she flipped on trans issues she positioned herself as a mother protecting children. When she turned on Trump she presented it as finally telling hard truths to power. But courage means paying a cost. Real principle means holding a position when it’s inconvenient, when it costs you viewers, when it costs you money, when it costs you access. Kelly has never once held a position that cost her anything. Not even when it came down to defending the widow of one of her, supposedly good friends as she was getting absolutely destroyed in the right wing media ecosphere.

@catturd2 Reminds me of the analogy about the woman who decided to have a picnic on a busy highway then complained about her sandwiches being run over.

Everyone needs to listen to this. Bill Cosby 2.0

COVID was preplanned.

@JoelMacManus Seems crazy to me, giving away our hard earned tax money to a very wealthy singer. Make it make sense Luxon. @chrisluxonmp @dbseymour @winstonpeters

Anyway here's my piece if anyone wants to read something written by a human: thespinoff.co.nz/politics/26-03…

This isn't analysis. You're just plagiarising my work via ChatGPT.

Lying Luxon

The UN just voted the Islamic Regime in Iran onto a UN committee dealing with WOMEN’S RIGHTS and TERRORISM PREVENTION The UN is a sick joke and can't be fixed NZ should walk away and save 150m each year

If she became President the US would be lost in a heartbeat.

Political rivals can find common ground. One politician saw an enemy in trouble and offered help, transcending party lines. This act of compassion and belief in a 'fair go' built lasting friendships and trust. Full interview: x.com/kaiviti_cam/st…

@beehivebadboy Luxon wants NZ to go ‘clean’ energy (Net zero) meaning no fuel for our cars yet is happy for these people to come into our country and destroy our environment with rubbish and pollution. Make it make sense Luxon. @chrisluxonmp @dbseymour @winstonpeters

No respect. This person should be called out the same way those dirty littering fucks were. People need to call out this behaviour wherever they see it, until the people who come to our country learn to respect it.

The utopia that lied. Here's the truth...

@JaneotN Nah, CD’s didn’t exist, 4 track cassette recorder was the thing.

💿🔥😆

@chrisluxonmp Blah blah blah you are a failed leader Luxon and should have resigned.

This is a massive opportunity for New Zealand.

Lets not embrace the technological and medical advances white people have introduced to us. Instead, lets steal their land, murder them and drive the rest out of ‘our’ lands. Then we will revert back to pre colonisation tribal warriors and start killing each other for land and prestige. Just like our ancestors did. No forward thinking, actually very little thinking at all.

Black woman from South Africa: “Black people have been patient enough for more than 400 years of colonialism. We are coming for you, and we are going to get everything that you own.” White people are facing racism, hatred, and brutal violence in South Africa. This is not acceptable. More people should know about the horrible things happening in South Africa; almost nobody talks about it.

This is how communism starts. Bit by bit the government removes responsibility from the people. They justify it on the basis that it is the right decision on behalf of the people, increasing safety, peace of mind etc. A perfect example is removing parental responsibility for making school lunches. We had far greater poverty in NZ when I was a kid but it was inconceivable to think that the government would make lunches for our kids. We all did OK. Banning social media for under 16 years olds is just another step towards total control. Then it will be digital currency. After that a social credit system will be implemented just like in China. This will mark the beginning of true communism. Fight it or lose your freedom.

We want to protect our kids from the harms of social media. That’s why today National has introduced a members bill to ban social media for kids under 16 years old.

@JimFergusonUK What is Iran going to ignite the Gulf with?

🚨 IF ONE PORT IS HIT — THE ENTIRE GULF IGNITES Iran’s warning is clear: Touch our ports— and we target all of yours. That means: Saudi oil hubs. Qatar’s LNG lifelines. UAE trade gateways. Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman— All in the crosshairs. This isn’t a threat to one country— It’s a threat to the global supply chain. Energy. Trade. Shipping routes. All exposed. Because if this line is crossed— It’s not escalation. It’s system-wide disruption. And when ports start shutting down— The world doesn’t just feel it. It stops.

So true. Takes out the opposition at every turn then scores the win. Many people has not seen it yet.

I'm Papua New Guinean, so let me talk about my own country for a second. My country is not failing because of the "white man." My country is not failing because of some mythical systematic stranglehold keeping us down. My country is failing because we have deep-rooted corruption at every level of society and government - the same kind of corruption people are now waking up to in the U.S., except ours is even more blatant. Papua New Guinea is one of the most resource-rich nations on Earth. We have: ✅ Massive gold, copper, and nickel deposits ✅ Major oil and LNG/natural gas projects that drive much of the economy ✅ Strong agricultural exports including: ▶️ Coffee ▶️ Cocoa ▶️ Palm oil ▶️ Copra ▶️ Rubber Large fisheries and forestry sectors And yet despite all of that wealth, since independence in 1975 - when Australia formally granted PNG independence - our politicians have repeatedly sold this nation out for personal greed. Nobody forced them at gunpoint. Nobody made them rob their own people. Nobody made them loot public funds. Independence was handed to us on a golden platter. And what did our leadership do? They turned around and pillaged the country for themselves. WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES. And this same pattern exists all over: ~ Africa ~ The Middle East ~ Parts of Asia ~ Latin America Too many nations are crippled less by outsiders and more by their own corrupt elites, tribalism, greed, incompetence, and refusal to build functioning institutions. Then millions from these broken countries move to the West carrying a built-in victim mentality - blaming everyone else for problems they never fixed at home. And when you see crime, violence, rape, gang activity, and lawlessness emerge in parts of the West from certain migrant populations, many of these individuals come from places where: ☑️ corruption is normal ☑️ violence is common ☑️ law enforcement is weak ☑️ and accountability barely exists You cannot import people from dysfunctional societies in mass numbers and expect zero cultural consequences. Harsh truth: Until people start taking responsibility for their own nations, cultures, and leadership... nothing changes.

Back in the day I got to know the DSIR because they provided development science services to a corporate I worked for. I got to understand how the science industry worked in NZ. The science department received a block of funding each year and scientists were able to follow their own intuition from basic through applied and into development science. This worked well and NZ produced some world leading scientific breakthroughs. The Government decided to restructure the DSIR into 10 Crown Research Institutes (CRI’s). These 10 CRIs had to compete for funding from a fixed pool of funds held by a Government agency called FORST (Foundation Of Research Science & Technology). FORST would set funding objectives and scientists needed to orientated their science around these objectives in order to secure funding for the CRI they worked for. Guess what happened? Climate Change mitigation became a leading objective of FORST. To ensure funding was granted to them, scientists oriented their funding proposals to emphasis the dangers of climate change and how their science would mitigate it. In their research outcome reports they highlighted the dangers of Climate Change and how their science was helping to mitigate it. Scientists soon realised creating media (thus the publics) attention to their climate science research helped bring the importance of their science to the Government and hence FORST’s attention. This helped secure more funding. The scientists could not be blamed for doing this. They needed to 'play the game’ to ensure their continued employment. Effectively a whole science industry was established around a lie perpetrated by Governments. NIWA and Metservice adopted the same Climate Change is real attitude for the same funding reasons. At that time Governments from many western nations created similar climate change oriented science outcomes. Thus a global climate change industry was born, wasting trillions of dollars of tax payers money. All based on bull dust.

Wonderfully clear and concise words (especially the last paragraph) on the climate change scam from Dr David Kear. Once the Director General of the DSIR (New Zealand’s Department of Scientific and Industrial Research). From 2013- "The widespread obsession with Global-Warming-Climate-Change, in opposition to all factual evidence, is quite incredible. It leads to unfair treatment of some citizens, and a massive bill for all, for nothing useful. When will citizens revolt effectively against such callous disregard for their observations and wishes, by those who are essentially their elected employees? When will the perpetrators examine the basis of their ideology, and realise that it’s based on unfounded unscientific beliefs, not on confirmed, widely-available investigations by real scientists who abide by the moral standards of their profession?"

@SeanPlunket @TVONENZ Paranoia, unreasonable anger, excessive gestures, profuse swearing…. What drug causes these symptoms. I’m told taking too much Meth does and can also make you violent. Just saying if anybody knows her well.

You know what I think about people posting from their cars! But this is a “panellist” for a @TVONENZ “news” programme.
