Is it any wonder that people are finding themselves homeless?

Decisions like this will make more and more property owners decide that having tenants is just too much trouble.

Better to keep the house empty and problem-free, and just rely on capital gain.

Anyway, keeping houses empty is good for capital gain because it reduces the available supply.

  The Osaki ripple effect into the Tenancy Tribunal Practice Note is very concerning. Well concerning for landlords. Damage causing tenants not so much. If landlords have to insure or self insure against ‘accidental damage’ then rents will go up.
  
  Incidentally, I wonder what the TT reasoning was to determine the Amanda Stewart case accidental. when the damage resulted rather directly from the tenant clearly and deliberately in breach of her tenancy agreement. Stated reason was despite the TA breach tenant did not intend to damage the carpet. Seems insufficient to me.

    ” … tenant did not intend to damage the carpet. Seems insufficient to me.”
    
    Exactly. So, if I ignore what my Tenancy Agreement says about how many people live in my landlord’s property and the place gets wrecked by 20 people living there, I’m not to blame because I didn’t intend for the place to be wrecked.
    
    The reader’s comments on the article in Stuff are interesting. People are astounded, and many are aware that the effect on the availability of rentals and rent levels will be harmful.

      Definitely a big issue. Was bad enough before because often there was no ability to recover the loss from the tenant as the tenant was broken arsed anyway.
      Four weeks bond covers fuck all these days as well, especially as it can take 4 weeks to get a hearing.
      
      Less rentals the better. The scum can go live under a hedge.
      The simplest solution is to make it mandatory that tenants have household insurance as they should. (Something like Britain where car owners are required to have insurance.)
      
      Under the practice note issued by the Principal Adjudicator, it wouldn’t really make any difference if the tenant had insurance because we first have to prove the damage was intentional. So, our job is harder because now we have to prove intent. It is a ludicrous situation because it takes the responsibility away from tenants. What happened to personal accountability?! My personal feeling is that the insurance company should have appealed the case, but they haven’t. The only way this can be turned around is by a different decision in an appeal case or a law change.
      
      Anyway, keep raising these points loudly with any government person you come across. The more it gets talked about, the better chance of outcomes. Andrew King from NZPIF is collecting cases to lobby a law change that is more reasonable, and I’m seeing other efforts gaining more support.
      
      Fortunately many MP’s have rentals so we would hope for once they might act in their own interests and those of the rest of us who supply housing for those that haven’t any.
      All because one insurance company acted in a stupid manner.

Mamma Merkel’s legacy:
http://nypost.com/2016/09/13/possible-isis-sleeper-cell-disrupted-in-germany/

Authorities are probing three suspected ISIS jihadists busted in Germany on Tuesday morning for their possible involvement in the deadly terror attacks that swept through Paris last November.

Police commandos rounded up the Syrian nationals in the northern most state of Schleswig-Holstein after learning that the trio was a “Sleeper Cell” with ties to the same smugglers who helped import the Paris terrorists, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said in Berlin.

  I’ve just come across this story and it really is grotesque.
  
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/09/13/migrant-flirt-coach-requests-security-due-public-backlash/
  
  “An overwhelmingly negative public backlash at a flirt course for migrants has made the so-called “flirt coach” hire security and ask police to protect his flirt workshops.”
  
  “Horst Wenzel continues to provide young migrant men with tips on how to pick up local German women at bars and online.”
  
  “The ‘curriculum’ of the course…including how to meet girls, get their phone number, and eventually have sexual relations with them.”….being funded by the government
  
  Of course ostensibly these courses are designed to prevent rape you understand, nothing to do with promoting mixed/mulatto, i.e. non German, children at the same time as reducing the number of white German children born.
  
  This is white genocide in your face. Before it was just about encouraging abortion, feminsm, consumerism, promote woman having “careers”, emasculating men, deconstructing marriage, making families pay high taxes to support the invaders large families and so on and so forth.
  
  This is the Coudenove-Kalegri plan writ large in your face.

    He stated that the security was needed because news outlets had reported that the flirt course was being funded by the AWO, a left-wing labour organisation that receives money from the German government
    
    The worst thing is governments are now promoting this sick, degenerate system of rat-race materialism, self-fixation, drugs, pollution, miscegenation, filth, chaos, corruption and insanity.

Forced marriages banned? Why ? I thought we were meant to embrace multiculturalism , or are some “cultures” not as cultured as ours.
So this is the diversity dividend they all talk of. Yet another legislative change . The others being surveillance and passport cancellations. Wow , so much to celebrate.

  Perhaps they only mean shotgun weddings….
  
  The real issue is that laws only only apply when they are enforced. The cops are now operating under “tag and release” and other policies which put cultural restraints on the who and what they can do.
  
  Arranged weddings would likely only be prosecuted in extreme situations.

I was there for Monday and Tuesday. It was very interesting to see it live. At one stage the public gallery was full and there were so many in the press that they had to place a couple in the prisoners’ dock. Judge Sara Katz was excellent and made those testifying feeling relaxed as much as possible under the circumstances.

  Thanks for the link and the report, Chuck. The guy Craig sounds like a real arsehole…. and I found the quality of journalism to be well written and a good reportage of the facts (of the trial and the evidence presented).

More of that dividend. This time in Norway.

“The man was charged with eight total counts of rape or attempted rape. Two of those charges were revised to having sexual intercourse without consent. The man was also acquitted of an attempted rape in which there was no any DNA evidence.”

    Of course, Stephie X, we are all happy with the ethnic change in Auckland.
    
    After all there were many long debates, several votes, and consensus on the second great racial change in NZ.. It was very democratic. There was no shady stuff, like politicians getting cosy with people now wanted for trial in their home countries. We can’t complain now, can we?

    The only identified benefit in your link is this non-benefit:
    
    The report said these cities were “attempting to create an opportunity structure for natives and newcomers alike through partnerships with migrants, the private sector and civil society”.
    
    The link also mentioned educated immigrants playing ‘a key role’ without stating what that role was. It’s all a bit vague; can you be more specific about the actual achieved benefits? For example, I presume our health services and primary producers benefit somewhat from immigrant labour, but the limited research I can find is minimally lukewarm about the benefits to the country and says the benefits are mostly captured by the immigrants.

One has to force oneself to monitor Red Radio to keep track of developments.
This mornings effort by Espinor and the interview with Adams over the new violence bill was particularly alarming.
Adams finally fell back to the anti male line and used a number of statements where the word ‘women’ was utilised where the legislation should be about a balanced approach to a complex issue.
With Espinor diverting the conversation to ‘perpetrators’ he started out with the statement that ‘perpetrators are almost exclusively men’ and from there went on an anti male rant.
This was the most vile biased attack by this reporter and he should be censored for his comments.
Talk about provocation and anger , mmmmmmmmm.
Not allowed.Bite your tongue.

Yesterday the media went into “hate the rich white guy” , “our courts are so racist outrage mode”. They gave examples of brown fullahs sent to gaol for similar offending. They did not bother to tell us if those fullahs had previous , which would be vital info. Fuck they’re useless.
Meanwhile here’s some sanity on same.

  Have to disagree with you.
  Anyone who bashes an unconscious, female police officer needs to be locked up.
  
  Because – excuse my french: They’ve clearly gone off the fucking rails. And need to chill out and take stock of what they are doing with their life.

      Yes, females are more vulnerable, smaller stature, less muscle mass, thinner bone structure. There are deep psychological factors too. For normal males it goes against their instincts to attack females and children. But we are biologically hard wired to fight other men.

    I too think the prick should have been gaoled, said so yesterday. I agree the social contract is well broken , in so many respects.
    My contention is that the media and commentariat, including outraged O’Connor , have it badly wrong though when they go out of their way to turn this into a race / class issue. This was a first offence, 2 examples used by the media yesterday to justify their BLM outrage where bros were sent to gaol for similar offending. They did not tell us if they were first offenders.Which would have been doing as proper job, not whipping up race hate hysteria. I suspect they weren’t and that’s why they went to gaol,they probably had long records which included violence, not cos of good ole colonial, white supremacist, lynch mob ,Col Saunders, stars and bars institutionalised racism in bad old New Zealand!The media are playing cultural marxist games here.

  The guy committed multiple violent crimes, including continuing to punch a woman even after he’d knocked her unconscious, then tried to weasel out of responsibility for it by blaming it on alcohol. For that he gets community detention. Of course people are outraged by that, and of course he’s benefiting from White privilege – the lawyer in the article you link to thinks he’s paying a hefty price because it will now be harder for him to go sailing yachts in other countries, for fuck’s sake. Oh, the humanity!

So in the last couple of weeks we have had Labour and Andrew Little trying to play a game of deception with the homeless,Matt McCarten and the latest one news colmar poll so they still have not learnt from the pledge card fraud.In the latest Little rant he has chosen to release a UMR Poll result that has Labour looking to be a force and with the Green Party within a point of the National Party but with no data as to what questions were asked to get this result.In releasing this internal poll i would suggest he is trying to con his own ex Labour voter into believing that they can win with them returning their vote

I think the comment this morning thats its”ambulances at the bottom of the cliff” comment has some merit. I would like to see more communication on what the “establishment” is going to do to stop famuly violence in the first place.
Its not a government issue but a Society issue so there has to be massive community effort.
Its also no good making new legislation if having a good lawyer or social position will get you a wet ticket slap.

  Family Violence is part of NZ Culture. Culture change is one of the hardest things to implement.
  Legislation will not do it.
  
  Only things like public condemnation, shaming, ostracism will help change things and it will take decades.

      They threw the 110000 statistic at us. Which I don’t buy. I’ll accept Plod may have attended 110000 call outs to disfunctional households , but was there violence in each and every case.
      The stats I want to see are breakdown by ethnicity, social class and marital status. Then we’ll have a better idea of where the problem lies , eh bro?

        If you had clicked onto the link provided in Yesterday’s article here on KB, you would have discovered that:
        Maori are nearly 3X more likely to be the victim of an intimate partner than are non-Maori,
        and
        Maori children are 5.5X more likely to die from child abuse or neglect than non-Maori children.

Industry wants our fish.

Recreational fishermen face reduced daily bag limits, increased size limits and seasonal bans unless New Zealand’s fisheries are better managed, a new report says.

The report by think tank The New Zealand Initiative said New Zealand has some of the most relaxed recreational fishing rights in the world but new management ideas are needed in order to keep it that way.

Author Dr Randall Bess said the depletion of some fish stocks and increases in New Zealand’s population and tourism numbers meant fishing would increasingly come under threat.
…….
In recent decades significant change had also been imposed on the Snapper one region which covers the east coast between North Cape, 30 kilometres east of Cape Reinga, and Cape Runaway, 90 km northeast off Whakatane, out to a distance of 370 kilometres.

The daily bag limit reduced from 30 snapper in 1985 to the current limit of seven snapper set in 2014 while the legal size limit had increased from 25 centimetres to 30 centimetres.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/business/84220396/Recreational-fishing-facing-further-restrictions-as-fish-stocks-diminish
As far as I am concerned when the industry takes cuts to quote to the same level as recreational fishers have had over the last few decades we can start talking about cutting the recreational take further.
Until then the commercial industry are the ones taking a resource that belongs to all kiwis not just a few quota holders.

  They wont implement anything. There are over 600000 fishermen in NZ and that’s a lot of voters to fuck off.

Here’s a great variation on the ‘just asking questions’ gambit. The Louisiana senate race is getting mired in some pretty serious allegations about one of the candidates. Here’s how the opposing candidate responded to suggestions that his campaign was spreading the story:

Earlier today, the Boustany campaign sent out an email alleging that my campaign and other candidates’ campaigns for U.S. Senate played a role in the shocking story alleging illegal behavior from Congressman Boustany and his staff. I want to be very clear that my campaign played absolutely no role in creating this story alleging Congressman Boustany’s sexual relationships with prostitutes that were later murdered, his staff’s alleged involvement in running the bar and hotel where this illicit behavior took place or publishing the book Murder in the Bayou written by Ethan Brown and published by Simon and Schuster.

  In one case, the High Court did not help. I am referring to the schoolboy who rode the baggage conveyor into a security area. Security let him off on the presumption the school would take appropriate action. It did, but parents went screaming off to the High Court who nixed the action. Lesson to Airport security – next time prosecute or issue an infringement and fine.

    Was he Minister of Transport at that time? In any event, having ministerial responsibility for aviation security doesn’t entail any operational functions that would necessitate a special clearance, any more than the Minister of Police needs to be out administering breath tests.

We hear a lot of discussion about wasteful government expenditure such as the flag referendum and various quangos in the public service but another use of taxpayers money which needs a spotlight shone on it is government foreign aid budget.
https://www.mfat.govt.nz/en/aid-and-development/our-approach-to-aid/where-our-funding-goes/our-planned-aid-expenditure/

For the next three years the allocated spend is about NZ$1.7 billion which is just over NZ$560 million a year.
More interesting is the main individual recipient countries of this largesse.
Top of the list is Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands which makes the mind boggle as it would be hard to find more corrupt dysfunctional examples of countries in the Pacific region.
So apart from the feel good factor what are all these hard earned taxpayer dollars actually achieving in this area besides keeping a pile of NGO’s busy implementing their little pet projects and writing glowing reports on how well they are “building capacity” and “improving outcomes” in the region.

      Stephieboy – let’s not forget that Hillary is a disciple of Obama and that if Hillary thinks that half of Trump supporters are deplorable one can be fairly sure that Obama thinks the same thing. Indeed Obama has made a remark about half of the country clinging to their God and their guns. It all feeds into the narrative of a liberal elite that thinks the rest of the country is deplorable.
      
      However Hillary is in serious trouble and the mainstream media are struggling to contain that fact. She is not well, the public don’t want a leader that faints on 911 Memorial Day and she thinks that 25% of the American people are “deplorable”.
      
      Scott predicts that the polls over the next 2 to 3 weeks will not be good for Hillary.

        Stephieboy is in great form today. CNN has had to cover Hillary’s health because video clearly shows her falling and being literally dragged into a van. But even then given Hillary’s “basket of deplorable” comment and her falling down Anderson Cooper on CNN still turned most of his hour into an attack on Trump. It’s amazing what a left-wing host can do when an election is at stake?!
        
        Trump’s comments about Mexicans and illegal aliens and Muslims has been extensively covered on CNN, in fact that is almost all they want to talk about. Now will they give the same amount of coverage and level of outrage to Hillary’s basket of deplorables?
        
        Answer – no they won’t because basically they agree, they think that Trump supporters are deplorable. They only get upset when someone from the right like Trump attacks their favourite minority groups which are Muslims, gays and Mexicans in that order.

There was talk on KB a few months ago about the new bank notes and how they had Māori language on them and some people mentioned blotting it out with a black marker.
Well got some notes out of the ATM yesterday and amongst them a new $50 which someone had blotted front and back.
Seems like maybe more than a couple of KB’ers who are not happy.

  Trouble is, after some fucktard has defaced the note, you obtain it in normal transactions and go to use it in a money reading machine and it spits it out. You then have to use your ATM/ credit card in a dodgy parking garage with a better than even chance it has a skimmer installed

The Government will today officially stump up half the cost of the City Rail Link – but the final cost will not be known until tenders are let for the remaining contracts.

A senior source told the Herald the Government has agreed to pay half the cost of the project, including half of the $276.5 million of work between Britomart and Albert St, which began in June.

      There is a small positive for the rail link. The few commuters who live close enough to a railway station won’t have to take their cars to work, thus freeing up the roads for the vast majority who have no alternative but to drive.

  The price tag on Auckland’s inner city rail link has ballooned to as much as $3.4 billion, up from earlier estimates of about $2.5b.
  
  The Government and Auckland Council on Wednesday signed a Heads of Agreement, under which the Crown will fund 50 per cent of the City Rail Link (CRL).
  
  The total cost of the project is estimated to be between $2.8b and $3.4b, Associate Finance Minister Steven Joyce and Transport Minister Simon Bridges said.
  
  http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/84233394/auckland-city-rail-link-cost-set-at-up-to-34bn
  
  So that will be 5 billion plus once finished
  What a waste of money as it will not be useful for the vast majority of Aucklanders .

    The only people who won’t benefit are those who never drive in Auckland, don’t rely on tourism even indirectly and don’t rely on Ports of Auckland in some way or another. All about 7 of them.

If you want to start a war, the unwashed masses must be convinced to send their brothers, sons and fathers to die on the front lines. The specter of an external enemy must be etched into their collective mind through trauma, exaggeration and repetition. History must be whitewashed, twisted and cherry picked down to a politicized nursery rhyme. At no point should the real motives or consequences of such an endeavor be discussed.
It stands to reason that if we want to STOP a war we must reverse this pattern.

  Reid , the video begins very unpromisingly by distorting what Hillary Clinton was attempting to communicate re the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan .
  
  It also beyond me what 9/11 has got to with the paranoid vision of a forthcoming WW3 ?

  No actually. If you do the opposite (reverse the pattern) all that achieves is making it easier for those who DO want a war to walk all over you.

      I think Muslims want a WWIII if they can’t achieve their ends though stealth, deceit and terror…. in fact, the confrontation of Islam versus civilisation is probably shaping up precisely as a ‘Third World War’ if you face the facts.

Hillary lovers will shed a tear or two:
http://www.theamericanmirror.com/video-bill-clinton-likens-hillary-demon/

In trying to explain away Hillary’s collapse on a New York City street on Sunday, Bill said, “Rarely but on more than one occasion over the last many many years, the same sort of things happened to her when she just got severely dehydrated.

“And she’s worked like a demon, as you know, as Secretary of State, as a senator and in the years since,” Clinton said.

I wonder if stephieboy from Mt Roskill got the talking points:
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has given her surrogates talking points for discussing her recent pneumonia diagnosis, according to a new report.

Clinton’s team began circulating a six-part strategy for managing the narrative around her illness Tuesday, Politico reported.

“To anyone who knows Hillary, it does not come as much of a surprise that even when she’s under the weather, she would want to power through her normal schedule,” the plan’s first bullet point reads.

“This is the Hillary Clinton America saw as secretary of State: someone who traveled the world at a breakneck pace, tirelessly representing America abroad,” another portion states.

All six points reportedly emphasize Clinton’s strength, prudence and vigor while hitting the campaign trail.

  A Helpful Step-By-Step Guide To Defending Every Clinton Scandal.
  
  First, drop the preemptive smear, just in case. Example: Rather than waiting around to accuse everyone of individual sexism, write a piece preemptively calling all foes sexist. Why not question the motivations of all critics ahead of time, and then tailor the accusation to the specific scandals as needed?
  …
  As evidence begins to slowly emerge, never give in until it’s absolutely necessary.
  
  But the fun doesn’t really start until the lie has been established; helpful examples are supplied from ~~journalists~~ Democrat Operatives With Bylines:
  
  First: always imply that everyone is overreacting. Yuck it up!
  …
  Or deploy the inverse reductio ad absurdum.
  …
  If that doesn’t work, normalize the event. What powerful person isn’t fellated in his office occasionally? Everyone cheats, right? Which government official doesn’t set up her own email system to circumvent the prying eyes of the public?
  …
  Retroactively normalize lying. Some of our greatest presidents did it.
  …
  Turn her shortcomings into a strength. (“She’s still campaigning even though she’s sick? Wow”)
  …
  Use a strawman to create the impression that a completely legitimate question is wacky
  
  The final step uses, as an example, a Tweet from former Obama hotshot, David Axelrod:
  
  ✔@davidaxelrod
  Antibiotics can take care of pneumonia. What’s the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?
  
  That’s bit of a slam but …
  
  The next formulation takes a bit more subtly and isn’t for beginners because you might go too far. Here you concede guilt to a lesser charge as a means of tempering the real one. For instance, the Clintons have a really bad knack for being too private which creates an avoidable crisis.
  
  As the article points out in response to Axelrod’s Tweet:
  
  Critics might claim that Clintons’ unhealthy penchant for privacy comes from their unhealthy penchant for corruption and power. So just make sure to stick the landing: Republicans are the worst. That allows the degradation of the system. On both sides.
  
  So in the ongoing coverage of Hillary, you can have fun watching for each of these steps from her Journolist defenders, and their bottom-feeding followers.

    tom hunter ,my response is simply what I posted yesterday ,
    
    (We can go through the points one at at a time if you wish )
    
    The Trump campaign including the GOP and Conservatives can be seen as war against the Clintons . No family or couple has been singled out for a relentless systematic and vindictive campaign directed at one family and two individuals especially Hillary Clinton.
    
    And all for what ? A so-called baseless Benghazi conspiracy vendetta with endless investigations that have got nowhere with absolutely nothing substantive to pin on her . Also all importantly recalling the Beruit Embassy Bombing attack 1983 killing 17 US Embassy staff . Significant security breaches were uncovered but only subject to one investigation ( led by a Democrat majority )that did not condemn the Reagan administration but sought only to improve security at all US Embassies worldwide ,
    
    RONALD REAGAN’S BENGHAZI,
    
    Ronald Reagan’s Benghazi,” by Jane Mayer. When militants struck American officials in Beirut under Reagan, Congress pointed fingers at the perpetrators, not at political rivals.” />
    
    http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/ronald-reagans-benghazi
    
    Similarly the vastly overblown email saga following the same pattern with an underlying vindictiveness and vendetta . The FBI investigation in fact only found only found of the 30,000 emails,
    
    “… just eight had material that she should have known was “top secret”; 36 of them had “secret” information; and eight more had stuff that she should have known was “confidential The agents also scrounged through the bits and pieces of 30,000 more emails that she didn’t turn over and found three—three!—that contained classified information: one secret and two confidential
    
    About those first 30,000 emails, the ones Clinton turned over, the FBI handed them out to auditors at other agencies that might have an interest in the matter, and after months of review they “up-classified” 2,000 emails to confidential. In other words, when Clinton wrote or received those 2,000 emails, she and her correspondents would have had no reason to suspect they were jotting down classified facts. But the reviewers have declared them classified retroactively. Your taxpayer dollars at work….”
    
    http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/war_stories/2016/07/hillary_s_email_scandal_was_overhyped.html
    
    The Clinton Foundation conspiracy claims has also uncovered a pack of lies which at the end of the day reveals what ? Breitbart’s Peter Schweizer book and over hyped movie Clinton Cash has not come up with is any incriminating smoking gun.
    
    http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/08/23/the_clinton_foundation_controversy_explained.html
    
    I believe that under the circumstances Hillary Clinton has done pretty well and conducted herself with a great measure of dignity and good on her .The above sound investigative reporting that tends to back her up .She could be forgiven if she thought her health mishaps were a consequence of this vendetta and war against her .
    
    http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/08/23/the_clinton_foundation_controversy_explained.html
    
    Note no Smoking gun whether with Benghazi ,the 30,000 or so emails nor the Clinton foundation .We therefore can await with some confidence Julian Assange’s so called killer blow this October ..
    
    BTW and Assange who incredibly naively believes things will dramatically change for the better when Trump cosies up to Putin and appeases him gives him what he wants .

      Stephieboy, and the contents of the 17,000 or more that couldn’t be recovered ? That couldn’t be recovered because the email server was specifically wiped using a program designed to make recovery as difficult as possible ? That process that was carried out AFTER subpoenas had been issued to retain that information ?
      
      Maybe we’ll have to ask the Russians for what was in those emails.
      
      And, despite you “only eight chains of emails” comment, a single instance would be enough, it is after all a federal crime and not one that requires intent. And it turns out her campaign manager had full access to the server and all the emails, and he had/has NO security clearance at all.
      
      In what universe is Hillary Clinton not guilty of multiple federal crimes ?
      
      BTW, using Slate as a reference is the same as using the Clinton Campaign team, they’re in lock step.

Discrimination by the Obama Administration. Out of 10,000 refugees let into the United States, only 56 have been Christians.

There are approximately 2.2 million Syrian Christians, yet only 56 have entered the U.S. under the Obama administration’s refugee initiative.

The U.S. has accepted 10,801 Syrian refugees, 56 of whom are Christian, or one half of one percent of all Syrians admitted. The BBC has reported that Syrian Christians make up 10 percent of all Christians, making the ratio of Muslim to Christian Syrian refugees entering the U.S. not even close to an accurate reflection of the country’s population.

“This is de facto discrimination and a gross injustice,” said Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, to Fox News Sept. 2.

Agree with dime-
The sad fact of the matter is that a lot of Mexicans that have come across the border have been dealing in drugs. It is also a sad fact that there appears to be a problem in the Mexican community with men sexually assaulting underage girls.
One of the big reasons for the rise of Trump has been that middle America has been adversely affected by criminal Mexicans who have been committing the crimes of rape and drug dealing. That’s why so many people in America want the wall i.e. they want a secure border so that criminal elements from Mexico cannot freely move into the United States.

        Mikey, that is a fair point. What is perhaps overlooked is that Trump is definitely against illegal immigration and is also questioning America’s current legal immigration policies. Given that the top 10 LA most wanted list is full of Hispanic names then one should question whether America should allow so many Hispanics into the country?
        
        Ann Coulter who is very hot on illegal immigration and legal immigration, reckons that about a quarter of Mexico has emigrated to the United States. That is a really big number and what she fears, quite rightly so my opinion, is that it will change and has changed the character of the United States so it is no longer recognisable as a country for Americans.
        
        She is saying that Mexicans have Mexico. Why can’t Americans have America?

        The idea that illegal immigrants are dangerous criminals has been thoroughly debunked.
        
        Worrying about the surnames of offenders is a bit specious: how many generations do they have to be there before they are real Americans? Third generation (Donald Trump?) First generation (Melania Trump?). What is Ann Coulter’s backstory – just because she doesn’t have a Hispanic surname can we be sure that she is a true American?

An excellent business proposition for our AGW-monger:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-13/the-pot-sommelier-weed-next-to-wine-at-the-dinner-table

A typical menu features a ribeye steak with chili relleno, a 2013 Malbec, and Gorilla Glue. For dessert, there’s a white chocolate creme brûlée with a 2012 Petite Syrah, and Blue Dream.

The protocol is puff, eat, drink, in that order, though it’s more a sensible suggestion than a rule, and it’s hard to imagine anyone getting upset at a breach, especially as the meal goes on. Wolf doesn’t expect weed to replace wine at the dinner table.

As I have said for many months – Trump for POTUS in 2016.

The Pam Bondi Trump Foundation bribery issue is gaining momentum. Bondi’s office says they only received one complaint about Trump University and it was not worth bringing the matter to her attention . However there are 827 people with Florida addresses joined to the New York suit against Trump. Trump has stopped talking about the Clinton Foundation as his own one with most of his family on the Board is now shown to be a complete sham even if the bribery accusation does not finish up in a court.

Stephieboy – it’s nice to see that you have someone that agrees with you.
What has Hillary done to be put in jail? It’s hard to know where to start. I could mention lying about Benghazi, I could mention her use of the Clinton foundation as a pay for play textbook example of corruption and I could mention the deletion of 30,000 emails which shows a prima facie case of criminal intent to evade justice.

But I won’t do any of that because as you know I now feel sorry for Hillary and I think it’s wrong to pick on the aged and the infirm.

    Stephieboy – the FBI found that she was “extremely careless” with the use of her emails. Extremely careless is the legal definition of grossly negligent which is an indictable offence. But the fix was in and we knew the fix was in the moment that we found out that Bill Clinton met with attorney general Loretta Lynn on her private plane just before the FBI report came out.
    
    But look stephieboy here are the facts, Hillary knew she was under investigation about her emails and when she found the investigation was coming her and her aides deleted 30,000 emails. Those 30,000 emails were about yoga and wedding plans according to Hillary. But now our friends at WikiLeaks have shown us that some of those emails involved classified national security information.
    
    So far none of the deleted emails have been found which contain anything about yoga and wedding plans.
    
    Face it stephieboy – Hillary cannot lie straight in bed.

  We were talking the other day about the 1980s TV series Apocalypse Now which featured a Brezhnev-like Soviet leader who would periodically die, only to be replaced by a fresh clone from a large fridge.

    I recall a cartoon from the 80s about the soviets in which a carpenter was affixing a window sash to the floor (yes!). Two bystanders are watching, one remarks “looks like there’s going to be a presidential press conference”. (This was when the soviets had Andropov and Chernenko.)
    
    Perhaps the Americans can learn something from that….

Hamilton man killed in freak Aussie skateboarding accident
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11709607
“Hendrix Hayward originally from Hamilton, was riding a skateboard along the road when he grabbed on to the back of a maroon Toyota Camry, the West Australian reported.
Western Australian police said the driver of the Toyota noticed Hayward fall and stopped the car”

So riding along a road holding on to the back of a car and falling is now a freak accident.
Personally I thought stupidity might have been a better word.

Reid

Rush Limbaugh said one unusual aspect to the Clinton incident was the lack of panic from those around her, as though they were accustomed to this sort of situation.

” … the one thing that’s been curious about this [Clinton collapse at 911 ceremony] is the people with her, her support staff, whenever something like this happens, don’t seem to think it’s anything unusual. Like yesterday, they didn’t take her to the hospital,” he said.

“So they must be used to seeing it. It must not be that abnormal or extraordinary, which is not a good sign for people dealing with this behind closed doors that we’re not privy to. It means that this has been going on a much longer period of time than just the diagnosis of pneumonia on Friday,” said Limbaugh, who like many others had been looking into the subject of Clinton’s health due to recent media reports and a well-publicized coughing fit she had last week.

“And the only thing I can conclude, folks, is that none of this, to the people closest to her, medical staff, campaign staff, none of this must be abnormal, or none of it must be extraordinary. Maybe another way of saying it is this: Maybe it happened so frequently that they’ve just become accustomed to it and it isn’t the big deal to them that it is to us,” he said.

Ahoy Stephies:

The link below is to an article claiming Trump politics are spreading into a world-wide phenomenon.

Any word on if there’s any Trump party starting up in Stephiestan? Build a wall with Afghanistan? And another with India?

Or how about just a wall around Mt Wellington? Good idea, I’d say.

For all the Kiwbloggers who don’t like Muslims being stuffed into Western countries in overwhelming numbers with no end in sight, know your enemy:

http://www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-london-bridges-gap-for-asylum-seekers-from-muslim-countries/

It must surely warm everyone’s hearts to see how the Jewish community has rallied to welcome the stranger. Seeking no reward, for more than 10 years London’s Jews have been quietly helping asylum seekers bridge the benefits gap and fight appeals. No soul is turned away and the stranger is truly welcomed, whether he or she hails from Albania, Algeria, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Georgia, or, as in the majority of cases, from as far afield as the Congo.

In a further outpouring of love and concern, these efforts are supported by the wider Jewish community which donated a near record £1’265’000 to World Jewish Relief to help refugees stranded in Turkey and Greece (but mysteriously not in Israel). These funds will of course also be used to help resettle those in need in the UK.

Pity Israel won’t let in a single so called “refugee”. Surely what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander?

Former NASA Scientist: Global Warming is Nonsense

A former NASA scientist has described global warming as “nonsense”, dismissing the theory of man-made climate change as “an unsubstantiated hypothesis”

  That’s from 2014, there, Icarus buddy.
  
  Here’s something else from 2014 that kind of makes a mockery of his statements.
  
  http://theweek.com/articles/447413/perfect-example-why-scientists-dont-vote-republican
  
  I literally cannot imagine a statement that would be more scientifically incorrect and humiliating than the one Professor Woodcock made. It’s like saying you don’t believe in the existence of cheese. And somehow I doubt such a person would be convinced if you did the scientific equivalent of slapping him across the face with a big round of Stilton.
  
  But the likes of Erick Erickson are patently uninterested in even the slightest scrap of scientific detail. All he wants is to claim the mantle of scientific legitimacy to justify his prior beliefs. Thus all the transparent puffery about Woodcock’s “long and distinguished academic career” and so forth from Breitbart (not that these chumps had even heard of him before). Any publication that gave a hoot about science would realize that gleefully repeating such obviously false garbage is like defiling Isaac Newton’s corpse.

    Why do you think people in the oil industry deny climate change ?
    She knows it bullshit she is trolling for attention as usual like the nutter she is .
    
    To address this, we reconstruct the frames of one group of experts who have not received much attention in previous research and yet play a central role in understanding industry responses – professional experts in petroleum and related industries. Not only are we interested in the positions they take towards climate change and in the recommendations for policy development and organizational decision-making that they derive from their framings

    Icarus , it’s not Griff’s fault that you find common ground with cranks like James Taylor and Christopher Monckton .

        Whilst the NZ Royal Society does not specifically refer to Mark Lynas’s book Six Degrees Hotter if you follow the links bellow the inescapable fact is that Climate change is a living reality ,

  loved the melt down yesterday.
  Lets try basic maths again.
  3 plus 3 equals six .
  I have a new one for you to learn.
  Less than.
  4.137 million sqkm is less then 4.344sqkm .

    What melt down nutter?
    What’s with the math thing? Some sort of obsession?
    Here’s some math for you,
    Strike 5 plus 1 = 2 months off
    hahahahahahaha
    The fact is you are an extremist who hides their extreme views behind reasonable statements by scientists.
    Hey- played piggy in the median lately?
    So funny.

      The maths thing is an effort to bring you up to the level of a six year old all on red .
      The melt down was last night when you went spastic when I pointed out your maths was a little odd when you claimed it was not the second lowest on record.
      I am just trying to help you get up to speed all on red we cant all do basic kiddy maths .

        Oh really, last night you omitted the word ‘daily’ from your claim.
        That’s called ‘deceit by omission’ or in other words where someone deletes words to give another impression.

      See you still can not add all in red
      again
      Three plus three equals six
      3+3 = 6
      Is that so hard ?
      Here is another maths example for you
      If we now have 1.3C over preindustrial temperatures and co2 levels have gone from 280 to 400 ppm .
      What will we have at double co2 560ppm and at double that again 1120?
      Remember we have not seen all the warming from the co2 we have already emitted yet it is more like 1.5C rise already for 120 ppm.
      
      And no I did not lie all on red
      You made an arse of your self .
      Your problem was you quoted last month when I was clearly talking about the low extent not the result for august.
      This is why I think of you as member of the Dunning Kruger club
      You know the rule dont you ?

Anyway , must go, kids want a story. Maybe something about the nutter who said we are all going to melt. It will end well when he gets put in the asylum.
Oh sure, Gwiff will probably come in with last minute slagging cause I’ve gone. But who gives a shit about his LYING ways!

‘What will we have at double co2 560ppm and at double that again 1120?’

And there is it. The extremism which is not supported by the Royal Society, no 97% consensus. Etc etc .
So remember this suckers when you back up Griff that this is what he thinks will happen.
Thank Griff. I was wondering what base line you were working from.
What a nutter. 1120 ppm by 2100! That pesky Co2 better get moving then

  Leaving and never coming back (commonly LANCB) is an internet euphemism whereby a frustrated participant in a forum, or blog, or whatever, takes away their ball and refuses to play. Sometimes this occurs after grandly declaring “victory,” but more often when they are simply unable to get their own way. Often times, the LANCBer cannot get his or her way because the forum is riddled with sycophants who gang up on them, even though the LANCBer is clearly correct.
  
  It is usually publicly announced, done with great fanfare, and followed by a quiet return within a week or even within a few minutes. A statement of LANCB virtually guarantees a return, thus destroying any ultimata or idealism involved in their “leaving.”
  
  A particularly grandiose LANCB is often referred to as a flounce. The word can also be a verb, as in “user Tyranny_of_Evil_Women flounced out of the forum, but he was back three days later posting as AgentLemon.” If accompanied by a particularly emotional farewell speech, this is also known as a Grand Staircase Exit.

Actually lets so some math for the morons amongst us.
2100- 2016= 84 years.
1120 ppm less current ppm of 400= 720 ppm increase
So….to rise to 1120 by 2100 that means
720 divide by 84 = 8.57 ppm pa.
Wow, it’s currently happening at about 2-3.
Good luck with that

  Maths again.
  Increasing trend.
  We call the measurement of co2 the keeling curve because its not a steady increase it is an increasing trend hence not liner .
  Do go to school and lean some maths all on red .
  It might save you making an arse of your self all the time.

Snowden Supporters Call on Obama for Pardon

Self-exiled whistleblower, Edward Snowden, has made his case for a presidential pardon, at a public campaign launch today. It’s been three years since the former National Security Agency contractor released details of mass phone and internet surveillance by his employer. And now three of the most prominent human rights organisations in the United States have launched a campaign calling on President Barack Obama for an official pardon. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are behind the ‘Pardon Snowden’ campaign. Noa Yachot is the campaign director.
