Too painful to accept:

Following President Trump’s open-press meeting with healthcare executives at the White House, Bolduan told her audience, “you were listening to President Obama meeting with CEOs.”

A classic for Kimbo, buddying physicist: Black Holes & Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy by Kip Thorne.

A book that can be read over and over!

    If you want something a bit more time consuming and weighty, there is “GRAVITATION” (also by Kip Thorne, with Charles Misner and John Wheeler). As a follow up you could try the most hated textbook of all time “Classical Electrodynamics” by John Jackson.

Try to read this without laughing-

http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/89743297/Sensing-Murders-Deb-Webber-has-feelings-like-the-rest-of-us

“Such is Deb Webber’s heroic commitment to what she does that she even feels the physical pains of the spirits. When you’re dealing with murder victims, this can be intense.”

“By communing with the spirits of the victims, they are able to discover clues that the police – with all that forensic mumbo-jumbo they do – have missed”

Surely this writer is taking the Piss? Surely??..

        LANCB
        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.”

  Well, there’s a whole bunch of challenges (with a monetary reward) if these scam artists can actually prove anything psychic.
  So far none have been able to do so.
  Bloke in the South Island evidently has a funpark with a promissory note hidden somewhere for a ‘psychic’ to find..
  So Far nothing

Talking of the media we’re constantly being treated to stories and photos of how welcome the “refugees” are in Germanistan , but are they?

“In a statement on Sunday, the interior minister citing police figures said that Germany recorded more than 3,500 attacks in total against refugees, migrants and their shelters last year, amounting to nearly 10 acts of anti-migrant violence a day.

The attacks left at least 560 people injured, including 43 children.”

Another loopy leftie can’t stand that Hillary lost.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/27/george-w-bush-opens-up-on-trumps-war-with-the-media-russia-and-travel-ban.html

Bush was asked about the media’s role in light of President Donald Trump’s recent characterization of the media as “enemies of America.” He noted he spent a lot of time during his two terms trying to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to embrace an independent press.

“It’s kind of hard to tell others to have an independent free press when we’re not willing to have one ourselves,” he said.

Bush also addressed the controversy over Trump advisers and the role they may have played in the scandal involving Russian hackers who tried to intervene in the election, saying he would leave questions about whether a special prosecutor should investigate up to the Senate intelligence committee leaders.

“I think we all need answers,” he said, noting that he was not a lawyer so, “I’m not sure the right avenue to take.”

  jonar, George W Bush and others will hopefully find the “right avenue “here ,
  
  ” GOP California Congressman Calls for Special Prosecutor in Probe of Russia-Trump Ties”
  
  WASHINGTON (CBS/AP) — A Republican congressman has called for a special prosecutor to investigate whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and was in touch with President Donald Trump’s team during the campaign.
  
  Rep. Darrell Issa of California says it would be improper for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to lead the investigation.
  
  Issa made the comments Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
  
  Issa said: “You’re right that you cannot have somebody — a friend of mine, Jeff Sessions — who was on the campaign and who is an appointee. You’re going to need to use the special prosecutor’s statute and office.”
  
  It’s unclear whether Issa would have any influence on Sessions. Issa supported Trump during the election but barely .

  That’s an utterly ridiculous assertion. What drugs are you on? George W Bush could never be described as any kind of leftie; and he wasn’t talking about Clinton – he was talking about the role of a free press in a democracy.
  
  Your headline is crap. Its an example of the deranged thinking that seems to charactarise rabid Trumpism and the ensuing assassination of common sense in today’s chaotic political climate.

WTF is wrong with the herald?

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11808860

“‘Yoza’ – Black Power couple tie the knot, crate bottles in hand”

almost like its a celebration of kiwi life?!

“In reply to each of the celebrant’s questions the groom responds “yoza”, and his bride initially just raises a fist – a common way of greeting each other in the Black Power gang.”

“”They’re a very lovely couple and very much in love and they live in my community in Masterton.””

oh how nice. maybe he could tell us what he had to do to gain membership to that scum group?

  What a travesty. Some speak of gays getting married and ‘debasing’ the sanctity of marriage, but this takes ‘marriage’ to another place. And the celebrant is described as follows-
  
  ‘Welcome to the website of Gaye (nee Blake) Gough. Celebrant, Justice of the Peace, former winner of the title Wellington’s Model Of The Year, Newspaper Columnist, Advertising Representative, country Farmer’s wife, (away in the back blocks!) Mother of four, enterer of competitions, Freelance Writer, then back to school as an Adult Student via University Extension courses. A celebrant, Justice of the Peace (Thanks to Mervyn Hancock, Lloyd Geering and others) followed by educational study at the Institute of Training in Social Services, and Te Wanunga Aotearoa where she gained a Certificate in Social Work’.

  I raise your “over-paid and under-brained ChCh traffic (mis)management clowns” with utterly moronic traffic mismanagement clowns overseeing West Auckland. Change the lights to cripple Glen Eden through traffic every morning (you have to see it to believe it, it looks like a bad Candid Camera episode), fuck up Lincoln Road so bad it is the most congested road in NZ now (it actually is) and rip up Te Atatu Road for over a year (how fucking long does it take to do a bit of pipe laying/ lane widening FFS?) thus leaving the entire West of Auckland with barely one semi-functioning motorway on-ramp (oh yes.. Lincoln Road). For a catchment with more people than Christchurch.

The presenters for best picture get handed the envelope with the award for best actress.

We know what they did, but what would someone not addicted to reading out the script do … note that Emma Stone (for) La L Land is an actress not a movie, check the envelope and say they had been handed the wrong envelope and could they have the right one please …

Given the criticism of the chaos in the White House …

Trumps big reveal is coming up. He is about to put some numbers alongside his campaign rhetoric and the American people are going to see how much sense his program makes.

So far he is going to
Increase military spending 54 Billion Dollars
Build a wall for 20 plus billion plus 15,000 new immigration officials which must be a Billion dollars a year including equipment.
Infrastructure spend of a Trillion ( albeit not in one year)
Repeal and replace Obama care while guaranteeing insurance for all and better coverage. The Republicans will want to do away with the Individual Mandate and repeal the Obama care taxes so this is going to cost Billions.
Leave Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare untouched.
Reduce Company and individual taxes.
Cut 54 Billion from Departments other than defense and presumably homeland security. Some of those cuts will be very unpopular.
This going to take some funding and its hard to see Ryan going for it if it blows out the deficit.
The only funding proposal seems to be the Border Adjustment Tax which sounds like Tarrifs combined with export subsidies which are probably challengable at the WTO and unlikely to get through the Senate.

Something is going to have to give here, Just signing executive orders wont get this lot done.

  Obama was spending 3 billion a day… So what’s your point?
  
  Let’s say it costs $5bn for the 15k immigration officials to get rid of, say, 1 million of the worst illegal aliens (by worst I mean the criminals as well as those sucking hardest on welfare) as well as reduce the influx of new arrivals. That’s going to save them at least $10bn per year. Good result.
  
  Let’s say the wall costs $20bn and even let’s say they are not going to get that back from Mexico – over 20 years that $1bn per year. Since illegal immigrants cost US over $100bn per year it only has to cut down the influx by a small % to make a huge difference. Good result.
  
  Spending to save is different to just spending.

EAD

A tweet last night from one of the Folks over at The Right Stuff ( http://therightstuff.biz/ ) summed up brilliantly the nauseating “Celebs” at the Oscars pontificating their delusional moral superiority they believe they possess over the hoi polloi.

They lecture us about open borders while living in gated communities,
They tell us about guns are bad from behind their armed security,
& they tell us to save the planet while they fly in private jets

EAD could only stand watching Oscars coverage for about 10 mins and noticed they used the word “diversity” about four times for every award given.

One thing that struck me was when one of the platitude spewing half wits said that he (can’t remember who) “celebrated diversity all over the world”. There is no diversity all over the world you utter retard. Africa is black. South Asia is brown. East Asia is yellow. South America is Mestizo. There is virtually no diversity in these places, yet somehow they are already classed as being more diverse and therefore more virtuous than White countries who have “dieversity” forced upon us

If you haven’t realised it by now, “Dieversity” is a code for fewer white people. Every single person who praises diversity is, wittingly or unwittingly, promoting white genocide. And those self absorbed, self congratulating “Celebs” sit there applauding their planned, deliberate, current and ongoing annihilation. It’s absolutely sickening to watch.

  Er Brazil and a few others are more than Mestizo, and what is so right about Europeans migrating to American Indian/Aborigine/Maori lands and so wrong with others doing so to European majority areas afterwards?
  
  It is not as if Europeans were not colonising Africa and Asia as well – building global trading networks.

  And if the Chinese really do have quantum radar developments in play – then stealth fighters are obsolete in that theatre – just slow and less combat worthy compared to older fighters.

  The US spend was 300B back in 2000 and increased to 600B under Bush (the Iraq cost). It peaked at 700B in 2011 (surge), but is back to 600B.
  
  Trump proposes a 10% increase – to 660B.

  So on defence EAD it’s sensors, missiles and submarines. The days of aircraft, carriers and tanks are over, they can be easily defeated with missiles.
  
  The other point about weapons is they add nothing to an economy, they’re an incredibly poor investment, relative to other things.
  
  I’m still giving him a 100 days but to date there are only a few possibilities with Trump:
  a) he genuinely is an idiot but then if he is how did he beat the Dems, the GoP, the deep state AND the media? Accidental? Possible.
  b) he was always a plant put there for the sheeple to give a good show but the plan always was for Killary to squeak in by a nose. But when Killary developed genuine health issues they switched puppets. Also possible. But then why did they need to appoint Priebus and Pence who are both deep state? Insurance? With Pence, certainly. That guy is scary, you should look into him.
  c) He’s genuine but been compromised like all the others. There’s a report they have a vid of him raping a 13 y.o. From Epstein, who knows? But then Epstein was Mossad honey pot and you and I both know (I hope) that Mossad has been large all along in his admin so why would they need to pressure him like that?
  
  Jury’s still out.
  
  Aren’t you glad you’re not a sheeple, having to scrabble round in the execrable MSM to find a clue, which they will never, ever give.
  
  BTW, seen this?

    As Stockman notes, the debt is 20 trillion and is forecast to grow to 30 trillion over the next 10 years.
    
    And regardless of what one thinks about Trump’s economic programme it is not predicated on either deficit or debt reduction.

Battling Glen Innes tenant Niki Rauti appears likely to seek a rehearing after the Tenancy Tribunal granted her landlord a possession order over her former state house.

EAD is right- The Academy Awards were utterly nauseating.
Black Actresses dubiously winning, Muslim Films winning, Muslim Actors in movies about Gay Black Men winning…(anyone else see the irony in that? As Muslims are hellbent on annihilating Gay people off the planet..)
Not to mention the rather tiresome Anti-Trump propaganda.
*Two more gripes-
1)Denzel was robbed (maybe he is too ‘Right Wing’ for the Academy?)
2) Why wasn’t Robert Vaughn mentioned in the ‘In Memoriam’ segment? Jesus he was the last survivor from The Magnificent Seven..(Too White?)

Disability groups are calling for new laws making it easier for disabled people to work and study, saying it would boost the economy by nearly $900 million a year.
The newly-created Access Alliance – comprised of disability service providers and advocates – said there were too many obstacles for the 1.1 million New Zealanders with physical and mental disabilities.
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/325546/nearly-$900m-boost-from-proposed-disability-laws-advocates.

1.1 million NZer’s have a disability!!!.
The definition must be extremely generous to come up with that number.
As for $900 million figure, well self serving extrapolated crap if you ask me.

I’m getting rid of the cat, and replacing it with a Polar Bear. These big, cuddly toys have been feeding and breeding like never before. Their global numbers continue to climb. The gweenies must be happy. Surely?

  seems legit
  After all anthropogy is studying mammals.
  Susen is after all an unpaid adjunct professor in anthropogy ( lecturer in our speak) an expert in pacific rim canine evolution.
  She has even published on the subject of polar beers .
  https://peerj.com/preprints/2737/#author-1
  
  looks all sciencey to the gullible and those determined to fool themselves .
  However a little research finds
  Not peer reviewed science just the opinion of a fringe nut.
  Bullshite from a heartland paid ideologue.

      Lol
      So she is paid by heartland to give them advice on the evolution of canines in the pacific rim ?yip thats it i am sure .
      Because she is not at a paid position at the university she gives as a reference.
      Her paper is not a scientific study it is not peer reviewed .
      It is no more than a nutters opinion.
      But hay if yiu like you can believe such nonce
      Being stupid and gullible is not a crime you know .

        Oh dear, oh dear griff. Have you not been following the slow trainwreck that is the modern peer review process? The tribalism, confirmation bias and publication-count back-scratching that’s now endemic. Your assertion that ‘its not science because its not peer reviewed’ is utter rubbish. You clearly have no idea what science is.

        Yip krazykiwi the self published opinion of a heartland paid shrill with no expertise in polar beer numbers is real science ,,,
        its on a blog init so it must be true science.
        
        Here is her list of “published work”
        https://polarbearscience.com/about-2/
        Citing your own blog repeatedly to support your “science” is what is known as masturbation .

I knew it was too good to last forever. Interest free student loans will be charged an “administration fee” of $40 for everyone who has a loan of $20 or more, come April 1st.

At least that’s how I interpret it –

Administration fee of $40 will be charged 1 April to student loan accounts with a balance of $20 or more as at 31 March.

Moonlight, winner of the best film Oscar is overrated, says a Spectator reviewer.
Melanie McDonagh writes she found the film about a gay black man to be boring.

This London journalist some times writes for the Catholic Herald, so she may not have been sympathetic to the film topic. Still her review may counter some of the gush about the film that’s bound to be in the pipeline.
