  Media/ celebrity luvvies cannibalising each other. There must be no real news in the country or world to report .We need to get abreast of genuine issues.
  
  This is being busted out of all proportion , a vetitable storm in a D cup. A mamentary distraction. Must admit though Henry is a boob.

Scott

Clinton’s national lead over Trump is now just 3.4% according to RCP. As the polling that takes into account the reopening of the investigation of Clinton’s emails by the FBI comes online we would expect Trump to get closer to Clinton and eventually overtake her. This will then show our in the state polls and more and more states will go into the Trump column.

I have been predicting that Trump will win for some time. I now think it’s going to be yuge 🙂

  The NZ anti Trump news site called “Stuff” is reporting they are tied which likely means Trump is well in the lead.

    Indeed Colville,
    
    The sight of the “Right” and “Left” MSM ganging up on Trump (even exaggerating Cintons lead in the Polls) has exposed them as globalist shills. The sight of the Republican Party trying to derail Trump’s campaign has revealed that the Democrats and RINOs as essentially the same globalist party.
    
    Millions have seen a rich, successful man voice opinions for which they were previously shouted down as “uneducated bigots”.
    
    Millions have seen Trump’s rallies and realised that many, many people think just like they do.
    
    Trump is a game changer.

      Just because Trump is rich and successful doesn’t mean he can’t also be an uneducated bigot, and indeed he is.

        Doesn’t mean Obummer or Clinton aren’t bigots either. They have clearly stated their bitter and deplorable views on very large sections of the American public. But it’s only “bigottry” when your opposition do it.

        Uneducated and Bigot probably is a bit harsh; he’s a typical real estate mogul cum conman with a hefty dash of reality TV frontman thrown in.
        
        Hardly what you’d want as POTUS and certainly wouldn’t be my choice.
        
        But the alternative is a terminally corrupt viciously vindictive incompetent with a penchant for breaking laws just because she likes to flaunt getting away with it as a badge.
        
        Given that choice I’d swallow the vomit and (reluctantly) prefer Trump. At least with Trump you know he ain’t going to get any favours from the press; every act will be scrutinized from every angle and nothing will be covered up. With Clinton you can be quite certain that the pattern of lawbreaking will continue and we the peasants will have this information withheld from us on the basis that it’s not our concern what our betters get up to.

  Interesting discussion about the yuuuge swings in one particular (but well known) poll in the USA, ABC tracking poll “mysteriously” shows 10 point shift toward Trump in one week:
  
  From a 50-38 percent Clinton lead over Donald Trump in the tracking poll’s first four days, Oct. 20-23, it’s a 47-45 percent contest in the latest results. The movement has been in Trump’s favor, +7, while the -3 in Clinton’s support is not significant, given the sample size.
  
  At this stage the polling has largely turned from “registered voters” to “likely voters” – and that’s where things get tricky becuase of so-called “turnout models”:
  
  … how confident are we that we know who will actually vote on election day? If we can’t answer that question with at least a moderate degree of accuracy then the margin of error could be significantly higher than we normally expect. The likely voter model may be getting shoved in one direction or the other by the unlikely voter model.
  
  ABC tossing out a number showing a two point race less than a week after declaring the spread to be twelve seems to bear this out. I still maintain that we’re in uncharted territory here thanks to nominating two candidates with the lowest approval and trust ratings in modern history.

        Different situation, but they probably were, to make Trump look like the front-runner. And rigged by the same people, hah ! Confirmation bias and all that.
        
        I wouldn’t doubt that if they though poll rigging in one direction or another was helpful to Clinton then the MSM would not only happily go along they would probably suggest it. Certainly a big lead would help discourage Trump voters, but would it also lead to complacency amongst their own ?
        
        Professional pollsters *shouldn’t* deliberately distort polls, at least not if they care about their reputation. But the level of partisanship is such that I would expect that at least some wouldn’t see that as an issue.

  Uh huh. Here’s the RCP record of nationwide polls from October 31 to Nov 5….
  
  … 2012.
  
  Two show Mitt Romney with a +1 lead, two tied, and four others with Obama leading from 1 to 3%.
  
  Obama won by 332 to 206 Electoral College votes.

I do not believe that a Trump victory will be good for New Zealand. I might be wrong.
But whether it is good or bad for my country I don’t care; the sight of so many of our main stream media people eating truck loads of humble pie will be worth any sacrifice.
That is a sight that will have me writhing on the floor in orgasmic delight.

  Agree. As little as I think of Trump and as sure as I am that he’s going to lose the EC, I’ve said before that I’ll be willing to take all the beatings that even the most moronic of Trump supporters wish to hand out to me if he wins – becuase I’ll be laughing so hard at all the exploding left-wing heads around me.

      He’s going to lose the EC, you moron. All the yammering in the world about national polls, or Florida – or even Ohio – won’t change the realty of EC arithmetic.
      
      BTW – in every battleground state that’s also a Senate race, the GOPe senator is running ahead of Trumpy in the polls. Looks like cuckservatives are more popular after all.

        Tom, probably true, but be interesting to see what (if any) the latest eMail stuff will have on the polls.
        
        It’s already flagged as a tightening race, I’ve been a long time believer (not a supporter obviously) that Clinton would what ever (and I do mean what ever) it takes to win and that she would close it out even if closely by fair means or foul.
        
        But it’s not quite a done deal, it will be closer than we think ( I think) and Trump has, maybe, a 30% chance even now.
        
        As I said above, I’d be prepared to suffer Trump and what ever he brings as an alternative to gangster government.

    I reckon there is a certain “ornery-ness” about the American voter, as a factor here.
    
    Remember George Dubya’s re-election with an increased majority? The entire world was ranting in the lead-up, just how fantastic it was going to be to be rid of that dreadful Bush at last, it was a foregone conclusion. Then the American electorate gave the world a large middle finger. I can’t help thinking something like this is happening again.
    
    To Americans, “the establishment” is not just Wall Street, the media, the Democrats, the Republican establishment, etc in the USA itself – it extends to the lefty-dominated trans-national NGO’s and “the rest of the west” with their sell-out long since of conservative and classical liberal principles. A certain mentality of “the little Gaulish village still holding out against the (cultural) invaders”….

  Thing is, its not about being good for New Zealand,both candidates are running for the presidency of the United States of America.
  Trump has a huge battle to win,even now after the FBI intervention.
  I would love to be able to say he will be a great President,but I have my mis-givings.
  Clinton is corrupt,pure and simple.She should be held accountable for years of actions that are at best dodgy,at worst extremely vindictive and criminal.
  
  I hope Trump gets the job but I wouldnt be surprised that Hillary closes the deal.

  Except in the dunes the Australian redback males are happily mating with katipo females. Problem is, the redback females devour the katipo males but not vice versa. So the purebred katipos could disappear.

      Inandout. Being realistic is also part of married life. We have stuck together through the financial up’s and DOWN’s of life. We both worked hard all our lives so we are financially secure, and life is only getting better. Hubby still loves his work and is happily making hay while the sun shines.

  Very fine words Wiseowl,
  
  I just read words to that effect over on Morgoths Review that I thought worth sharing:
  
  “The idiot leftist points out the supposed ‘crimes’ of European man, we traveled the world enslaving and pillaging, we subdued and conquered, we erected great monuments to our multitude of victories. But by what moral code is being great and powerful a source of shame? And more importantly, why should we give a damn about that moral code?“

      What’s your actual view on the article I shared MM?
      
      What do you think of the so called “refugees” he criticises for their disgusting moral code as they ditch their womenfolk and come to the Western World to live off the back of European Man?
      
      Whenever healthy white men look upon such a bunch of men set to invade the civilization we’ve built, something is ‘triggered’ and it’s not just the racial cuckoldry which is taking shape, it’s also the sense, and let us be honest about it, that these refugees are simply loathsome trash, it isn’t just their race, it’s simply the way they are too.
      
      Consider the story of these men, they’ve dumped the women and children of their own kind and fled their land, they march into the lands of people who don’t want them and then throw themselves upon the mercy of white women driven mad by feminism and Marxism, they ingratiate themselves still further with white women and the worst of white men by pretending that they’re simply children who need to be taken care of and nurtured. Hell, even the boats they used to carry them across the sea ran on engines designed by white men and were fueled on diesel the white man learned to refine and produce. Upon arrival they’ll embark upon a life of rape, crime, benefit fraud and general indolence and destructive behaviour.
      
      What’s wrong in your view with the unvarnished truth, stripped of all its flowery PC overtones?

        The truth? Can you handle the truth?
        I’m more interested in an updated prediction from you on the (still imminent?) worldwide total economic collapse. Or on what you National Socialists would do to solve the Jewish problem, if you came to power.
        Don’t you think those would be more productive discussions than your ramblings on crazies’ notions of white genocide, etc?

    Actually that is not a completely true assessment. One of the most interesting books I have ever read is James Belich’s “Replenishing the Earth: The Anglo World and the Settler Revolution”.
    
    He points out that indeed most of the European empire-building nations did what you are describing; adventurous men went forth pillaging and conquering and retired rich. But the Anglos did something different: ordinary people, especially Dissenting Protestants, uprooted themselves and went forth seeking opportunity to set down roots, with wives and families, in New Worlds based on new egalitarian principles. Anglo colonial populations exploded (faster than African and Asian population explosions that we condemn now) but other European powers never established much in the way of a “commonwealth” of their own kind. The “commonwealth” is different to “empire” in this way.
    
    We need to give a lot more credit to our ancestors even under a non-Nietszchean moral code.

      The Spanish left a lot of genes and cultural legacy in Latin America. They could have had a commonwealth there if they had left gracefully.
      
      The Dutch and Huguenot settlers in southern africa left an enduring legacy that was crushed more by the British than by the local Africans.
      
      The Viking legacy lives on in Iceland.
      
      Ancient Athens colonised Sicily, and this is what broke it, and the Greeks established colonies around the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

    Agree, and Hillary hasn’t provided a solution to it either.
    I see some States the increase is over 100%. Of course it’s the middle class who are getting hammered with it. Wonder if the increase might help Trump with women as they consider what’s best for their families.

    Quite.
    
    All the email damage must sureley have been done, except that the reactivation no longer allows them to just say it is history.
    
    Clinton is being peddled as another 8 years of Obama policies. Do they really want that. Obama’s “legacy” is pretty thin:
    
    1) Close Guantanamo Bay within a year… still open.
    2) Finally put racist in the rear-view: racism is bigger now than 40 years ago.
    3) Peace in the Middle East (even got a Nobel Scout Badge for that): Nope, more war-torn than 2008.
    4) More government transparency. Nope. More secrecy and skulduggery than even Nixon and Watergate.
    5) Obamacare: keep your providers, costs won’t go up. Nope. costs up, people have lost options. People are forced to take policies they don’t want, eg. older women forced to take options covering childbirth.

    If a $35k premium for a family of four is going up by 25-75%, and co-payments have increased to the point that many are just not getting healthcare, that is seen by many as the personal price paid and socialised for the 20-odd million who weren’t insured. It is a political disaster for the Dems. And to think, it’s called the “Affordable Care Act”.

Phil Goff has told another lie already in saying that Labour have not told him their plan on the Auckland Light Rail, then this morning on Paul Henry that Phil Goff has agreed to their plan as that is what he campaigned on.So the moral of this post is last night on the Hub the Mayor stated he has not been in talks with Labour on Light Rail before the announcement so he would have to wait and see the plan and if it fits what is needed .The this morning on Paul Henry the Transport spokesperson for Labour says that the Mayor has agreed to Labours plan, so Auckland your rates bill will keep increasing and the promise of transparency from your Mayor is just a small lie

I stand amazed, the Washington Post, of all the MSM, has absolutely got stuck into the Democrats for attacking FBI director Comey:

IF DEMOCRATS believe the FBI director is corrupt and political, they should have the gumption to say so. Instead, many have insulted James B. Comey with slimy implications and underhanded threats since Friday, when he announced that he was re-opening his investigation into her use of a private email server while secretary of state.

Democrat leaders had practically promised supporters that Ms. Clinton was in the clear. Instead, Mr. Comey explained that the facts of the case did not conform to the fevered partisan fantasies that have developed around them — did not, in other words, merited re-opening the case. So Democrat leaders decided to attack the fact-finder…

“It appears damage is being done to the rule of law,” Ms Pelosi said. She’s right, but the FBI director isn’t doing the damage. The wreckers are those who cast baseless aspersions on U.S. law enforcement in the service of their partisan goals.

Well said WaPo. It almost begins to start restoring the faith in the MSM. <a href="Oh wait….

Why is Trump is popular?

Answer: Clinton is under criminal investigation yet received nearly 100% MSM endorsement.

People are sick of the corruption, lies and the one party state with turds like Paul Ryan.

Trump wins by default.

Having said that Trump got the GOP nomination because of the Wall and he does have some outstanding policies build to counter Capitol Hill.

      Charle’s Murray’s recent book, “Coming Apart: the state of White America” shows that the blacks were really the canaries in the coal mine. The White majority is also fracturing into failed fatherless families with uneducated kids who vote Democrat, versus the rest.

    The poorly educated get by on gut feelings or instinct. As we used to say: they may like the cut of the man’s jib while understanding that he may be no better and no worse than his rival
    The gut feelings of the poorly educated seems to be that Trump is more like them and therefore to be trusted, just as the well-educated trust those who are also well-educated.
    See how it works?

  I spent many a lunch hour there in the late 60s tracing sun spots and was saddened to hear that in the years after I left it had fallen into disrepair. Well worth saving. If I recall rightly, at the time it was the largest telescope in NZ in private hands.
  
  While it was not possible to point the telescope at the Basin Reserve (too low down) it could be trained on the swimming area of Wellington East girls school, though that was frowned upon for some reason.

Greetings from Chicago. Get your money on the Cubs to win tonight, so the World Series moves back to Cleveland to be decided there. The diehard Cubs fans are still upbeat, but coming from 1-3 down would be a huge feat. Stubhub.com has 1755 tickets to Wrigley Field tonight, but the cheapest were for standing room at $800US each, so we’ll pass.

Despite the baseball, SWMBO and I were part of a crowd of almost 22,000 at the Chicago Bulls last night. And big bruv will be pleased to know that a huge cheer went up when the All Black haka was played on the Jumbotron at the United Centre, then the camera flashed to a number of All Blacks in the crowd. Then there’s NFL at Soldier Field tomorrow night, and three Blackhawks NHL games; this place is a sporting Mecca.

Oh, and the tide is definitely turning in the Presidential campaign, with Trump getting momentum with just a week to go. His building in downtown Chicago is the ultimate election billboard, with TRUMP in letters two stories high. It’s also far from the ugliest building inthe city.

  Glad you’re having fun in Chi-town, KS. Actually the Trump Tower is a pretty good-looking skyscraper that fits in well with the rest of the Loop buildings.
  
  Last time I was there a young, Hispanic waiter found out that I was a New Zealander and excitedly talked about the All Blacks-Eagles game he’d just seen a week earlier, and about meeting some of the AB’s. I was surprised to hear that Rugby’s actually making a bit of an impact in the Hispanic groups in Chicago.
  
  As far as the Cubs go….. Sigh. I think they’ll win today – they better not lose all three frigging games in Wrigley Field. They may even win game 6 back in Cleveland – but I can’t seem them pulling off three-in-a-row against a team pitching as well as the Indians are.

    Just as a matter of interest, Kimbo, with regard to Francona’s management of the Indians pitching, I read yesterday that the combination of Kluber-Miller-Allen have pitched 67 out of 107 post-season innings.
    
    That’s quite incredible. I can’t recall any team that has so heavily relied on one starter, one reliever and one closer as much as that – at least not in the modern era. He’s really riding his luck on them not getting tired or breaking down, and so far he’s had that.

      Which means on the law of averages…but then that is the problem/challenge/charm with post-season: Averages don’t apply as with the 162 game season – and also as the All Blacks found in knock-out play at a number of World Cups . Hence a team like the 1966 LA Dodgers with hall of fame pitchers like Koufax and Drysdale was still swept by the Orioles in the World Series.
      
      A week ago on the eve of game 6 Kershaw was invincible. If everything went according to form/reputation there is no point in playing or being a fan, is there? You are only as good as your next game. Come, on, tom. You know you want give your heart to the Cubs winning this World Series, and now’s the time to do it. You’re among friends here (snicker!).

      I wouldn’t say he’s “riding his luck”.
      
      Carrasco is out for the season, Salazar can’t start and Bauer is not 100% either. If Francona can do it with the people he has left, I would say he has overcome unusually poor luck.

        The shifting tides of probability then; bad luck, followed by ….
        
        My uncle once told me about a warrior who had a fine stallion. Everybody said how lucky he was to have such a horse. “Maybe,” he said. One day the stallion ran off. The people said the warrior was unlucky. “Maybe,” he said. Next day, the stallion returned, leading a string of fine ponies. The people said it was very lucky. “Maybe,” the warrior said. Later, the warrior’s son was thrown from one of the ponies and broke his leg. The people said it was unlucky. “Maybe,” the warrior said. The next week, the chief led a war party against another tribe. Many young men were killed. But, because of his broken leg, the warrior’s son was left behind, and so was spared.

      I found the stuff in Richie McCaw’s book after the 2011 RWC win really good on understanding pressure, and the input of experts like Ceri Evans and Gilbert Enoka. Stuff that some sportspeople came across in the old days through common-sense/experience like pressure coming through expectation, scrutiny and outcome, and unless you are in your “comfort-zone” of trained automatic responses, or have specific coping mechanisms, then fight, flight or freeze will kick-in. Hence, while a sporting contest is always physical, a winning strategy is designed to take your opponent to a place where they are under strain physically…then the psychological factors kick in.
      
      The All Blacks have clearly built on that since 2011. Now’s the time where we will find out if the Cubs have used their time wisely since that loss to the Mets last year.

        The fact that they’ve not been swept means they have learned – but the Indians scouts and coaches have clearly told their pitchers that the young Cub batters are still overly aggressive. They swing at too many breaking balls and they don’t get the pitch counts up enough.
        
        I reckon it’s about time we had a repeat of Zobrist’s bunt. Do something – anything – to get men on base with no outs. So far the Indians have done real well in two base, or even loaded base situations and 3-2 counts, which is not how it should be going.

        The Cubs 28 hits to the Indians 32 in the four games thus far, but a runs disparity of 7 to 15 says you are right.
        
        Like TP McLean wrote after the 1976 All Blacks lost the fourth test in South Africa – and the Lions the next year somehow also lost the fourth test against the All Blacks

        Cubs are hitting 204/273/299 (AVG/OBP/SLG) vs Indians at 248/338/388. That is a big difference, normally enough to win without being great in the clutch.

So when will Comey drop another bomb? Friday night or Saturday morning so the voters have the weekend to digest it ?

I just cant believe that anyone but the staunchest of Dems will get out to vote for the hideous Hillary given what is going on, whereas these revelations should encourage the Repubs to vote.

    I’d like to think that, but in case you’ve not noticed, all the Democrats are hanging tough with Hillary. Unlike the GOP there’s been no outburst of “unendorsing” or “asking hard questions” of Hillary. There’s no #NeverHillary group.
    
    Solidarity baby.
    
    Mind you, I’ve not seen any journalists running around asking every Democrat candidate whether these latest revelations about Hillary are hurting them, or could hurt them, or whether they’re ashamed of her, etc, etc.
    
    Only GOP representatives get those types of questions.

      That’s just not the way the lefties roll… they always double down.

‘A poll released Sunday shows more than 30 percent of likely voters say they are less inclined to support Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton after the FBI announced Friday the agency is reviewing newly-discovered emails potentially related to Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.
The ABC/Washington Post tracking poll was conducted from Tuesday to Friday, which means the survey’s 1,781 respondents could only be asked on the final day about the revelations regarding the new emails.
Still, the poll found 34 percent of the respondents were “less likely” to vote for Clinton and that she now leads Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by just a single percentage point, 46-to-45 percent, in a four-way White House race, with Election Day on Nov. 8.’

The BBC explores the title likely to be used to describe Hillary Clinton’s husband if she wins the Presidency: http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37790781 .

Somehow the “First Gentleman” title doesn’t seem a good fit for notorious reprobate Bill.

  Some Hillary supporters voted early at her request, but before the FBI reopening. This may skew the final figures, but I suspect that this election has been over analysed in the extreme. Save any voting booth skulduggery, Trump may just squeak in.

  Also interesting, Maggy, is Japan’s entry into World War 1 as an ally of Britain. Japan asked Britain first if it could have German possessions in the Pacific.
  
  As well as taking over what was then called Tsingtao, the German enclave in China , the Japanese seized the Mariana, Caroline, and Marshall Islands.
  
  However, it was New Zealand which grabbed the German colony of West Samoa. (If the Japanese had grabbed Western Samoa, it might have been a battle zone in World War 2.)
  
  Japanese warships also escorted Allied convoys in the Mediterranean.

The state polls will soon follow the national polls. As the race tightens and then Trump goes ahead nationally the state polls will follow and more and more states will go into the Trump column.

The national polls really do matter.

    Mikey, he does have a point in that the National Polls do indicate the general mood of the people.
    Obviously the State Polls more accurately indicate how that is reflected amongst the demographics in those States, who will determine who gets the EC votes.

Internal rebellion?
http://www.wnd.com/2016/10/resignations-letters-piling-up-at-fbi/

The decision by FBI Director James Comey to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server and her mishandling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by FBI agents described as “mutinous.”

  A contact in Washingon has a retired FBI agent next door. When Comey gave Clinton her hospital pass it’s true there was an internal revolt at the agency. It was described as a shit storm of great proportions. Comey is now desperate to regain his loss of face and make amends so its going to be open season on the crook. He knows his future is stuffed if she gets in as Obama now hates his guts.
  
  The media is also flip flopping and some previously very pro Clinton newspapers are starting to print what Fox News has been saying.
  
  The Republican Party who thought Trump was a goner are now starting to support him and confident of a victory. Several weeks ago he was thought to be a bumbling sexist arse wipe. How things change.
  
  With more info from Wikileaks coming in today Clintons pucker factor sits on 100%.

Isn’t Islam wonderful?
As the international consortium Girls Not Brides reports, child marriage was common in Syria before the outbreak of the civil war; but the conflict has increased the practice at an alarming rate.

One journalist dares to ask for the crook’s head:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-hillary-clinton-emails-kass-1030-20161028-column.html

Has America become so numb by the decades of lies and cynicism oozing from Clinton Inc. that it could elect Hillary Clinton as president, even after Friday’s FBI announcement that it had reopened an investigation of her emails while secretary of state?

The best thing would be for Democrats to ask her to step down now. It would be the most responsible thing to do, if the nation were more important to them than power. And the American news media — fairly or not firmly identified in the public mind as Mrs. Clinton’s political action committee — should begin demanding it.

  Well we know Ms Clinton isn’t going to stand down. She has way too much skin in the game for that. Also what would happen to the advance votes already cast? The election would have to be postponed, unheard of in the USA.
  
  The only way to get rid of her is for Democrats with a conscience and standards, to hold their nose and vote for Trump.
  
  Or not vote.

    Not to speak of his sexual predations ,
    
    “All the Times Donald Trump Defended Sexual Predators—Including Himself”
    
    The Republican nominee was caught on tape 11 years ago describing himself sexually assaulting a woman—and he’s not apologizing. It’s part of his long history of defending predators.

Cubs ace pitcher Jon Lester off to a roaring start – 3 strike outs in the first innings. No one say “perfect game” or you’ll jinx it! 😉

    Cubs take it out 3-2, and so we go to Cleveland on Wednesday (our time) for game six, but the Indians only need to win one of two games to clinch their first World Series since 1948.

    Yep. But it just seems to me that whereas the Cubs batters had a good start and a big 4th inning, the bloody Indians were pressing every single frigging inning.
    
    Combine that with the fact that the Cubs hitting still is not great against pitching where it should be – like tonight – plus that 50:50 win requirment for the Indians vs 100% success requirement for the Cubs – means the odds are still very much with the Indians.
    
    Naturally, because this was such a good, tough game, I want a game 7. So Cubs batters – and I’m especially looking at you Mr Baez – stop looking at called 1st pitch strikes followed by chasing everything into the dirt!

Alison Mau said on her show that Trump is not suitable as a President because of his attitude to Muslims. Alison sweetie, your sexuality puts you on the Muslim list of mortal sins, and in some ME countries you would be stoned. Don’t these progressives ever think before they spout?

Fox is doing crowd interviews outside Wrigley Field after the Cubs kept the World Series alive. And some “deplorable” has just shouted “Bill Clinton’s a rapist!” Into the live microphone. Cracked us up ?

    Put it this way; the whole pub, including my wife, was going nuts during the 4th inning when the Cubs scored their runs. The timing of this trip couldn’t have been better. We were thinking of going to the Blackhawks on Tuesday, but will probably skip that now to watch Game Six.
    
    We are however planning a trip to Soldier Field tomorrow night to watch the Bears play the Vikings in Monday Night Football. Stubhub.com has 1794 tickets available.

        It might be the only NFL game we ever get to Tom, so tickets have been secured. And believe it or not, it’s going to be a balmy 16* at 10pm tonight as a warm spell approaches
        
        In the meantime there is a call to open Wrigley Field tomorrow night for fans to watch Game Six on the big screen. Now that would be almost as good as going there for a live game!

Second only to Russell Crowe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Solzhenitsyn

I really do think that the only people who should
be allowed to comment on how marxism failed
are those who spent some time in the gulags
like he did

Stephie and others will beg to differ

His book
200 years together is an interesting read
working through it

finally translated to english

He does not put blame in one camp or the other
but both

Marxism is the ideology of atheist psychopaths imho

It wasn’t really a russian revolution was it stephie?
russian genocide is a more accurate description

Social Media Blackout? FBI Emails Are Not ‘Trending’

In the 24 hours since FBI Director Comey dropped perhaps the biggest bombshell of the entire Presidential campaign, sending Democrats (and media) scrambling headless-chicken-like for answers (and blame-scaping), does anyone else find it odd that ‘FBI Emails’ does not appear to be a hot topic, trending, big deal on any social media?

If Hillary wins – is she going to say ‘Donald . . . you’re FIRED !!!!!!!!
Let’s face it, that would be a laugh.

When did most kiwis start saying ‘nood’ ? How do you say ‘news’ or ‘knew’ ? Any problems with the ne-yoo skill ? Hello ? Ne-ude. Nudity. Farkin ignorant numbnut peasants. This ain’t fkin EastEnders or nothin. Too American. Kiwis using sidewalk – ffs mate.

When is Massey going to get rid of crackpot ‘academic’ Fat Pause ? It’s ok being 150 million kg – people come in different shapes and sizes. Especially if they eat like there’s no tomorrow.
Would you want to live like Pause ? Most of her body is fat. If she was food – the first ingredient listed . . . fat. 65-75% bodyfat. To live with all of that weight all day – there it is. All the time. My fat is everywhere – taking up a room – a seat – extending out in all directions. Clean and jerk it just to get it moving – like the space shuttle launching – up she goes – desperately fighting the gravitational forces of the planet. What does she eat in a day ? She’d look pretty hot in a mini-skirt and heels eh ? Looking at her – I think she’d be great in the bedroom. As a bouncy castle.
