Is Megan Gattey the thickest twat in “journalism”?https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/100247928/as-trump-lauds-good-old-global-warming-heres-the-truth-about-climate-change
One of the symptoms of the literalist lefty virtue signallist set is an inability to understand when someone is taking the piss, making a joke and being triggered to explain your superior understanding of any given subject.
It`s like every entitled millennial scribbler suffers from Aspergers and is unable to take anything with a grain of salt.
( an idiom of the English language, which means to view something with skepticism or not to interpret something literally.) for those triggered by this post, you know who you are.

  Trump tweets and journalists jump.
  
  And they say he shouldn’t tweet , but he gets his message over to even more people , and the media says he’s the idiot?
  
  Yesterday Al Jazeera pointed this out saying the Yanks had released a report about the Red Chinese breaking the UN sanction on oil to the N Koreans , this was largely ignored by the media. Then Trump tweeted it and it became a big story.
  
  Trump wins.

    …the media says he’s the idiot?
    
    In fact, EVERYBODY says he’s an idiot. He’s the laziest, stupidest head of state in history—and, no, I haven’t forgotten George W. Bush, Prince Jefri of Brunei or David Lange. Even Trump’s Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, has publicly stated that he considers Trump to be a “fucking moron”.
    
    Nobody with an IQ above room temperature has anything other than contempt for this zombie horror version of Richie Rich.
    
    “Whenever I mention President Trump, people start to laugh—(LAUGHTER). Trump said, ‘I don’t mind whether it’s one state or two states.’ I don’t think he knew what he was talking about.”

        Trump is stupid. He knows nothing, as Gideon Levy pointed out. He reads everything from the autocue. He is incapable of intelligent debate, or indeed any debate at all. For these and many other reasons, Trump has the lowest approval rating on record.

        Well morrie you are wrong. Rasmussen’s latest polls have Trump poll ratings as exactly the same as Obama at the same stage of his Presidency. For Trump to achieve that with all the negative MSM and the Russia probe BS is amazing. (that is unless you believe your hero Obama was stupid as well.)

As an aside do you think H1 would have phoned King to congratulate her on her Dame award. The old crone will be spitting her already damaged teeth out hearing that news…..

        He was at a women’s refuge and was apologising on behalf of the male gender for the shocking levels of violence towards women and children in this country.
        That doesn’t mean the average Kiwi bloke beats up his missus and kids….far from it.
        It means we need to be more aware of what’s going on around us and speak up about it.
        BTW: most of the DV in this country is perpetrated by sexist cultures such as Maori and Polynesians.
        E.g: Willie Jackson telling us all if his wife ever cheated on him he would kill her.

Looks like Farmers Markets are now “racist” as it “normalises” the habits of white people.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/dec/27/farmers-markets-called-racist-habits-of-white-peop/

Well who knew buying carrots and onions and milk direct from the producer is a white behaviour?

So now white people cant have their own habits? But if they try to do things associated with minorities (getting food via food stamps, theft?), they’re guilty of cultural appropriation.

Is sitting quietly in a locked room acceptable or would this lot prefer if white people became extinct?

  Come now EAD, let’s be honest. Farmers’ markets are as white as it gets. You dont go to buy milk and vegies (unless that is unpasteurized milk and organic kale or artichoke). Pumpkin spice lattes, ciabatta sandwiches, and homemade salted caramel fudge. Not quite ethnic cuisine.
  
  Here’s a question: how many non-whites do you see at Matakana or Clevedon on Sunday morning? And that’s in Auckland!

    How many whites do you see at the Manurewa or dads two toes Markets buying or behind the counters. Markets represent the people who live in the area. Not many state houses in Clevedon or Matakana. Not many five bed room houses on five hectares in Manurewa.

    I do + I buy sourdough bread, fresh fish and all of my cuts of meat from fillet steaks down to chicken breasts & pork sausages.
    
    So what if the patrons of farmers markets are most often white? Should I care that the Otara market is primarily Brown? Only people with a chip on their shoulder and ulterior motives see “racism” where it doesn’t exist.

  Any form of success is considered “white”. This is international.
  
  Consider all the brown kids (both here and in USA) who rag on their mates for “trying to be white” if they do their homework or get good marks at school.
  
  In South Africa professional black people are often called “umlungu” which means white person (original derrivation: umlungu literally means the spume – white foam – that blows off the sea)

    The market in the photo looks pretty low end so all it suggests to me is that all the immigrants are dirt poor and are looking for something cheap as they can’t afford to buy it at a shop.

  As long as we have journalists of the calibre of Selwyn Manning, Gordon Campbell, Nicky Hager, Jon Stephenson, Paula Penfold, Phil Pennington, and David Fisher—and that’s just off the top of my head because there are many more decent journos here—then this country’s journalism is anything BUT “dead and buried.”

    You want a real journalist look to Pat Booth who, in spite of the impediments put in his way by the Auckland Star editorial staff, managed to prove that the Police planted evidence and his work got Arthur Thomas out.
    Or the current team who are doing the same work in other cases where the evidence is suspect

  Not long ago it was 15%, flipper, but with the encouragement of that biggest gong-holder of all, Dame Turia, and her brilliant message that 13 to 17 year old girls = “our fertility!”…it’s rising exponentially.
  Problem is most of those will be on bennies or in the slammer and the nation will be bankrupted….

      Not all races have the “same problem”.
      Maori have FOUR TIMES the fertility rate among 13 to 17 year olds as any other race in NZ.
      Do you think these kids should be impregnated at 12 to 16?
      Do you think it’s good for babies to have a young single mum in her early to mid teens?
      (Apparently Turia does.)
      Do you know how many of our battered and murdered toddlers were born to “mothers” in this age group?

A man is dating three woman and wants to decide which one to marry. He decides to give them a test. He gives each woman a gift of $5,000 and watches to see what she does with the money.

The first woman does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, gets new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive to him because she loves him so much. The man is impressed.

The second woman goes shopping to buy the man presents. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some gizmos for his computer and some expensive clothes. As she shows him these gifts, she tells the man that she spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed.

The third woman invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much. Obviously, the man is very impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done for him with the money, and then he married the one with the largest breasts.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!!

  That’s a lovely story and I green ticked it.
  But my worry is the stress that young women, who are not naturally endowed with a great set of tits, are put to. Many of their age set, and more particularly young women, can be exceedingly cruel to such young women. I have the greatest sympathy for them.

    But the opposite is equally true.
    
    A few women have told me that they started growing boobs early (wearing a bra at age 10) and were teased mercilessly about it by the other girls.
    
    It was only later in life they realised it was probably jealousy.

Angela Merkel’s ruinous legacy:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42502984

Organisers of Berlin’s New Year’s Eve celebrations are to set up a “safe zone” for women for the first time.

The new security measures planned for the Brandenburg Gate party come amid concerns about sexual assaults.

A large number of assaults and robberies targeting women at Cologne’s New Year’s Eve celebrations two years ago horrified Germany.

Hundreds of women reported being attacked by gangs of men with migrant backgrounds.

  “Mass sexual assault in Frankfurt by refugees completely made up”
  
  One purported victim of ‘sex rioting mob’ was not in city at time of alleged attack
  
  Prosecutors are investigating two people for allegedly fabricating an account of a mass sex attack by Arab migrants in Frankfurt.
  Claims that a “sex rioting mob” of around 50 men assaulted a group of women over the new year were reported by German tabloid Bild earlier this month.
  The report, which suggested the attackers lived at a refugee shelter in central Hasse, was widely re-circulated by right-wing news sites….”

The Hooerald is on the Scott Watson band wagon.

So sick of the rabble raising that ends in criminal trash being fed millions of taxpayer money, that I didn’t read it.

        I think you are attacking the messenger. I have looked at the case closely but not obsessively. The Watson case is nothing like Bain or Lundy.
        
        The only physical evidence was one strand of Olivia’s hair on the boat. And I understand that is now in question.
        
        Maybe he did it. Maybe it is more likely than not that he did it. Maybe he is a bad egg. That does not make it a safe conviction.

        It would be wrong to say that Watson was set up by certain Police.
        There was huge evidence given and ignored that there was another boat.
        Many elderly old style sailors in the Sounds were virtually told that they were liars by the police when they reported it.
        Watson may be guilty by the Police and the cognoscent media but all the evidenced was not or incorrectly presented.

        While I agree with you Longknifes I do not agree with your reasoning. Juries get things wrong on serious cases. The police were sloppy like on many cases. However, there is a big difference on being sloppy and planting evidence like in the Thomas case.
        
        Did you read Ian Wishart’s latest book on the case?

    I don’t forget that two kids were murdered (probably) and I don’t think anyone else has.
    
    As some terrible thing happened it would be good if someone is held responsible.
    
    There are other murders unsolved. How about the Police knock on your door and take you in for one of them. We can celebrate that someone’s been arrested and use expressions like “I see they’ve got some scumbag for that case.” When the pleas and support of innocence come some can say “But don’t forget, someone was murdered here.”
    
    And where would the desperation be from then for the media to have a ‘cause célèbre’?
    
    (I don’t know enough about the intricacies of the Watson case to make judgements about it.)

      Well what we have is two people missing and evidence that does not indicate nor establish a murder.
      
      If someone can produce bodies or evidence that bodies are somewhere not attainable then there might be a case.
      No such evidence exists.

Trump on the rise:

ccording to the Left, America hates Donald Trump. Then again, according to them back in 2016, so did the voters; and yet he was elected. Despite the greatest wish of left-wingers, they aren’t solely representative of the country. Proof of that comes in the form of a Rasmussen poll released today, comparing Trump’s approval with that of Barack Obama at the same point during his first year in office.

Per the study, President Trump’s approval rating is currently at 46 percent; his disapproval registers at 53 percent. On December 28th, 2009 — in the final month of his first year in the Oval Office — Obama’s approval rated at 47 percent, with his disapproval sitting at 52 percent. On December 29th — just one day later — America’s first biracial president’s approval dropped to 46 percent.

If approval ratings at the time of inauguration are considered, Obama fell much farther during his first year in office than has Trump.

On Inauguration Day, January 20th, 2009, Obama’s approval hovered at 67 percent, his disapproval correspondingly low: 37 percent. When The Donald was inaugurated on the same day in 2017, Rasmussen found him to have a 56 percent approval, with disapproval for the new president at 44 percent.

Generally speaking, approval ratings for presidents at the time of their inauguration are relatively high, and President Trump has risen above his only once so far — on January 26th — by reaching 59 percent. Obama’s approval rating never rallied to his initial score during his first year in office.

If one watches only the major news networks, an unavoidable conclusion would be that Obama blew the minds of every American with his incredible turn as Commander-in-Chief, while Donald Trump has repulsed America. But once again — as so often with the Left — the facts tell a different story entirely.

  On the 28-Dec Trump was polling at 38% according to Gallup, which is about average for a number of polls.
  One of them had him as low as 33%.

    Rassmussin has him at 46% They are rated the most accurate Pollster.
    You should learn that Agregate Polls such as the RCP aren’t really that accurate.
    Averaging just enables the most inaccurate to drag the number down.

      “Rassmussin . . . . . are rated the most accurate Pollster”
      As far as presidential polls are concerned there is only one to judge this claim & at the time of the last election they had the two candidates about even.
      However a huge percentage ot eligible citizens don’t vote. Consequently a further poll indicated that “Just 88% of all likely voters say they have made up their minds how they will vote. Among these voters, Trump leads 52% to 43%”
      This was about 10% off the mark.
      Maybe they were all wrong. As I recall the polling companies were being lambasted left right & centre at the time for the getting everthing wrong.

      You’ll enjoy this piece of reasoning
      ‘After members of the elite media have spent two years savaging President Trump, lying about Republican legislation, and reassuring themselves that Republican defeat was inevitable, the size of the GOP victory in 2018 will be an enormous shock.’
      ‘CBS News just provided a vivid example of the false impressions created by the liberal news media’s lies. They interviewed three families about how they expected the GOP tax bill to affect them. Then they had a CPA tell them, on camera, what they would actually be paying in taxes next year.
      
      Of course, after months of convincing most Americans their taxes would go up, the three families either expected to be paying more in taxes or to not save any money. And you can tell by watching the segment that the liberal hosts expected the same.
      Of course, it turned out that all three families would pay less under the GOP tax cuts than under current law.
      The look on the three families faces as they learned how much they would be saving was remarkable to behold.
      
      The CBS analyst concluded “every one of the families will have more money in their pocket next year.”

Looking through those New Years Honours Awards I was amazed in this day and age of inclusiveness and enlightenment how blatantly racist so many of these awards are.
Some of the most obvious ones:
1.Mr Alan George Turner, Tauranga, for services to the game of bridge
-only old white people play this game.
2.Mrs Thelma Margaret Luxton, Waitara, for services to the community and cricket
-cricket is the pinnacle of white privilege.
3.Mr Leslie John Graham, Masterton, for services to brass bands
-crusty old white guys activity
4.Mr Paul Ferrier Pritchett, Lyttelton, for services to yachting and the community
-rich white guys activity
5.Mr Peter John Turnbull, Whangarei, for services to aviation
-no black guys can afford to fly
6.Dr William Blair Rhodes Rolleston, Saint Andrews, for services to the farming industry
-well we know that farmers are the worst examples of white racists in NZ.

Just a sample but so many more candidates in this list also☺

The extent (and audacity) of con-man Gore’s lies:

Al Gore predicted the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely ice free in five years.

Gore made the prediction to a German audience in 2008. He told them that “the entire North ‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.”

      Here’s evidence from a real climate scientist.
      
      “In spite of the current warmer conditions, annual meantemperatures still remain within the range seen in the previous two centuries.In the period of overlap, 1865–2002, we note that the features seen in the Armagh series are closelyparalleled by features in the Northern Hemisphere mean temperature (Jones et al., 2001). The mid-19thcentury warm period, which is also seen in the central England series, has received relatively little attention.It is important to establish the reality of such 19th century warmings, because that century is frequentlyused as a baseline for modelling the 20th century climate. A baseline at the end of the 19th century, whenconditions were noticeably cooler, would exaggerate the subsequent warming in the 20th century.”

“Prince Harry interviews Barack Obama”

2017 began with Barack Obama leaving the White House and handing over the baton of the presidency to Donald Trump.
Our guest editor today, Prince Harry, met President Obama, in Toronto in

Shudder to think Princess Kate or Meghan Markle doing the same to Donald . The groping temptation by the President would be very hard to resist !

We are following reports of multiple peaceful protests by Iranian citizens in cities across the country. Iran’s leaders have turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos. As President Trump has said, the longest-suffering victims of Iran’s leaders are Iran’s own people.

The United States strongly condemns the arrest of peaceful protesters. We urge all nations to publicly support the Iranian people and their demands for basic rights and an end to corruption.

The locally owned Otago Daily Times may be the best newspaper in the country, but are there other reasons why some Southland folk have switched to reading it rather than the Southland Times?

Perhaps today’s edition of the Southland Times gives the clue.

The front page of the Southland Times is filled with pictures and words about its “Southlander of the Year.” She is a woman, originally from the Philippines, who runs the Southland Multicultural Council.

(The councils were set up around the country by Dave Devoid’s Race Relations Council, apparently with the help of former Race Relations Commissioner, the Marxist Joris de Bres.)

The next main article – on the following page – is about an Asian farm worker who didn’t get his visa renewed.

On the editorial page, the main column is by the Southland District Mayor, Gary Tong, entirely about his visit to China. (Tong is not of Asian descent.) It includes this:

“Some argue against the increasing influence China is having on the international stage, but I saw nothing to suggest anything more than a genuine interest in being model international citizens.”

Gary hasn’t heard about Chinese supplying oil to North Korea, and the islands China is building in the South China Sea.

  Otago/Southland papers are really wonderful. They get the wood burning really well so folk can add coal to their fires more rapidly without polluting their pristine environment so much! 🙂

Hey Stephie
When you write to a Parish Priest do you have to be formal, as in;
Dear Rev Dr Fr John or is it ok to just Dear Father John?
Asking for a friend.

I am all for immigration of good people.
But many of them send all of their spare cash back to their families (who think that all New Zealanders are rich)
This does not help them, and must cost NZ a lot in our overseas funds.

TVNZ actively and shamelessly promote themselves as the nations’ leading journalists, they do no end of Trump stories , and push the notion that certain forces deal in “fake news”.

And yet this from their own website , is it barely credible?

“From January to September in 2017, 199,724 robberies were reported in New Zealand.”

Nearly 200 ,000 “robberies” in 9 months ?

Surely someone has got something badly wrong here.

When will the Green (red) MP and defender of war criminals speak in support of Iranian freedom protesters?
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42512946

Anti-government demonstrations that began in Iran on Thursday have now spread to several major cities.

Large numbers reportedly turned out in Rasht, in the north, and Kermanshah, in the west, with smaller protests in Isfahan, Hamadan and elsewhere.

The protests began against rising prices but have spiralled into a general outcry against clerical rule and government policies.

A small number of people have been arrested in Tehran, the capital.

No different to Labour using the poor uneducated and ignorant to get them in power. ..the poor whites in USA like the poor brown in nz think Jacinda is going to close the wealth gap? (Please give me a break )…she owns a million dollar plus property will get a golden hand shake and free air fare travel for life on top of her half million dollar salary. …just like trump but on a smaller scale. ….just see how the Obama family became even more wealthier after they left the white house.

  Is There a Strong Link between Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change?
  
  “…While most scientists don’t dispute the link between global warming and extreme weather, the once skeptical public is now starting to come around—especially following 2011, when floods, droughts, heat waves and tornadoes took a heavy toll on the U.S. According to a poll conducted by researchers at Yale University’s Project on Climate Change Communication, four out of five Americans reported personally experiencing one or more types of extreme weather or a natural disaster in 2011, while more than a third were personally harmed either a great deal or a moderate amount by one or more of these events. And a large majority of Americans believe that global warming made several high profile extreme weather events worse, including record high summer temperatures nationwide, droughts in Texas and Oklahoma, catastrophic Mississippi River flooding, Hurricane Irene and an unusually warm winter …”

        You’ve got to get protein from somewhere GoVege. The precious ones, the great conservationists, whose shit doesn’t stink had wiped out the moa & were down to eating fantails* by the time the provident & wise pakeha appeared on the scene with sheep, chooks & agriculture. Most of the useless bastards had lost the skills to even grow kumara & if it weren’t for fern root there wouldn’t have been any of them left to greet the white man.
        
        It had got to the stage where the only way they could get a decent feed was to knock off a few of the no hopers from the neighbouring tribe & throw them in the hangi.
        
        And now the ungrateful wankers bitch about a bit of land!

Here’s your diversity . . .
Programme ‘Can’t Pay ? We’ll Take It Away’.

Unpaid rent eight months – eviction day. Romanian mother arrives ‘home’ with two small kids. English ? Yeah right. Father comes home with translator mate – of course.

This is when I shouted NO WAY !! at the tv. When the voiceover says there are in fact **seven fucking children**. Yeah. Where ? All over the place mate.

High quality third world shithead dumbarse breeders. The kids will be real winners with that start to life. Why the UK want to pay for all of that lot I don’t know. Off to council for emergency housing. Stopping at just the seven dirt poor kids are we ? Third world shit.

Series four episode seven for anyone who cares.
