  The comments are fascinating in how the Labour crowd are venomous toward Bridges. Personally I still don’t think he has the temperament to forcefully highlight the CoL weekly failures. The other school of thought is that he should just let the CoL destroy itself in the eyes of the voters. The one positive thing is that seeking out those who admit to voting for the CoL is becoming more difficult.

    Mr Bridges is not thick. Neither is some of his caucus. Quite possible they know exactly what they are doing.
    
    Voters here don’t like relentless negativity.
    
    Mind you, they don’t seem too keen on relentless posidividy either. That might be because it is all but invisible underneath the spin.

      It’s too early in the electoral cycle for National to be rolling out policy. And whilst Bridges hasn’t landed many hits on Ardern and Peters, others on the front bench have belted the crap out of their ministerial opponents.
      
      Bridges is playing the long game, and that’s what the trip around the country was about. The fact that Labour banged on this week about Bridges being about to be replaced suggests to me that Bridges’ numbers are trending upwards on Labour’s internal polling.
      
      This weekend’s National Party Conference is important for Bridges, and they’ve got it off to a good start, with a choir from South Auckland Middle School (one of those hated charter schools) singing the National Anthem. Suck on that Chippie!

  I have also read an Audrey Young article today that was fairly positive towards Simon. Both articles suggest failed social policy has created high prison numbers. The Lefties try to use this to disguise the real cause which is Liberalism.

    Southern Raider and Starboard,
    
    “Historically, being “tough on crime” has been a vote-winner, and the National Party is attempting to use this issue to gain popularity, and drive a wedge between Labour and its coalition partner NZ First.”
    
    National the” law and order” party with accelerated attacks on Dairies and so forth under their watch?

      Traditionally NZ First was “tough on crime” too stephie, which was another reason why them jumping into bed with Labour was simply a marriage of convenience.

      Fair comment shariaboy, but the main driver behind dairy robberies is/was turia and her dirty cronies with their attack on smokers. National really did nothing to stem the violence, they could have implemented a minimum 10 year sentencing for that particular offence, regardless of age, but didn’t. They should have let dairy owners arm themselves, but didn’t. Fail.

So Trump’s economy is going gang busters. 4.0% growth and a trade deficit reducing by billions. And the cause is apparently Tax Cuts and the stimulus they provide. Gee, why didn’t we think of that?

    Trump thanked President Kim for his help in searching out the bodies of the American soldiers on Nth Korean soil and repatriating them back to the USA. This repatriation of soldiers fighting in the Korean war would not have happened without Trump schmoozing Kim in Singapore. Well done President Trump.

Trump interrupted his press conference on the amazing 4.1% GDP to talk about the arrival of the remains of American soldiers who fought in the Korean war being returned to American soil.

    Tell us about the lows in GDP in Obamas ‘economy’

    I logged a complaint with them, like I did with stuff.co.nz. And to Stuff’s credit the number of “far right” references went down from 66,000 to less than 5,000 after I did that. Will be interesting to see how TVNZ responds.
    
    It seems that journalism and media is a profession that attracts more leftists, and unlike the media of old that could keep their political leaning seperate from their reporting, today’s graduates just aren’t intelligent enough to report without using subjective and bias words. I can see why too, I recall doing a communications paper at university and bias was only taught in the terms of gender bias eg, using “gender neutral” nouns, so Mankind was bad and humankind (or “people kind” if you are a retarded Canadian) was good; rather than using objective terms.

It would have been impossible without Obama, says our resident Muslim:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/27/us-gdp-q2-2018.html

Gross domestic product grew at a solid 4.1% pace in the second quarter, its best pace since 2014, boosting hopes that the economy is ready to break out of its decade-long slumber.

The number matched expectations from economists surveyed by Reuters and was boosted by a surge in consumer spending and business investment. Stock market futures edged lower on the news while government bond yields moved lower.

That’s the fastest rate of the growth since the 4.9% in the third quarter of 2014 and the third-best growth rate since the Great Recession.

Michael (call me Sir) Cullen who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness was determined to prove wrong the saying, “You can’t take it with you.” After much thought and consideration, the old socialist finally figured out how to take at least some of his money with him when he died. He instructed his wife to go to the local Kiwibank and withdraw enough money to fill two pillowcases. He then directed her to take the bags of money to the attic and leave them directly above his bed. His plan—when he passed away, he would reach out and grab the bags on his way to Heaven. Several weeks after the funeral, Cullens wife was up in the attic cleaning and found the two pillowcases stuffed with cash. “Oh, that old fool,” she exclaimed. “I knew he should have had me put the money in the basement.”

Cancelled for unspecified health and safety concerns. What does that even mean? Was somebody with repugnant views going to turn up? Was somebody’s dress too short?
Seriously, the police have to do better than that don’t they?

  There was a threat to disrupt the ball. Police are investigating the threat. They considered it to be sufficiently serious to advise the school to can the event. Maybe we should wait and see before denouncing?

    I think you may have missed my point. My issue wasn’t that the event was cancelled, it was that the police wouldn’t say why.
    How about giving an example of something that the police think is serious enough to cancel a school ball, but must be kept secret, giving only some vague reason why it needed to be cancelled. The newshub article also tells us that students weren’t to talk about it either. Why on earth not?
    It can’t be a bomb threat because we get told about them (e.g. the event at Te Papa that was mentioned in the article). What about somebody with a gun? Wouldn’t you like to know if somebody with a gun was making threats?
    If they were trying not to tip somebody off, I think they gave the game away when they cancelled the event.

      Wasn’t there a school ball cancelled last month in Auckland due to an anonymous bomb threat? Probably a teenager with a grudge – a nasty thing to do given the angst and expense that parents go through in school ball season.
      
      The Napier incident could be a copycat but they will find him/her because the idiot(s) concerned will inevitably out themselves. Don’t expect any consequences though.

Looks like Trump is going to do away with Obama regulations that mandated car makers must make sure their cars do an average of 50 miles per gallon by 2025. And how would car manufacturers have accomplished that anyway? By making cars lighter, which causes more accidents and death.

https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/27/trump-brakes-fuel-economy-overregulation/

So, a good thing. As usual liberals think nothing through before passing laws they think will save the planet.

  Yes that whole more mpg and lower emmmsions was California cluster f..ck
  The manufacturers are/were doing their best. But the law makers thought that a clean perpetual motion motor was just around the corner.

  By making cars lighter, which causes more accidents and death.
  
  As is happening in NZ. So the response is to lower the speed limit. Not fix the roads or buy better built cars.

    Lighter cars aren’t inherently less safe. The new Suzuki Swift for example is even lighter than the previous two models despite being bigger, and has an excellent safety rating. Whereas some heavy modern cars, like the Ford Mustang, have dreadful crash ratings.
    
    Most manufacturers (aside from Suzuki and Mazda, who are embracing lightness) are actually just putting in much smaller capacity turbo petrol engines to achieve efficiency, as well as adopting the horrible (if you enjoy driving) CVT transmission.

  Americans want to drive SUVs and Utes only. Ford has stopped making cars in USA. You can make 50mpg cars but not draggy heavy SUVs.

    Very true, any perceived benefits of greater power train efficiency are quickly lost to heavier, taller and bulkier bodies as automakers fill buyer demand for SUVs. The 50mpg target just won’t be met unless Americans change their buying habits
    
    The once humble NZ staple ute is always on jacked up suspension these days, even if it’s only a two wheel drive model.

  Be careful how to use the word liberal – call them controlling leftists – to be liberal you must believe in individual freedom to make ones own choices unless you directly threat anothers property or being, not mandated control of others choices.

Oh the shame. Just when Cindy is about to rejoin the fray and gain the limelight, another “Royal Couple” announced they are having a baby.
Yes sports royalty Ritchie and Gemma announce they are expecting.
Now Cindy will be rightly pissed at about to be knocked off the front pages of the Wimmins mags.

  I see that next Thursday will be 6 weeks since the birth of the Baby of the Nation.
  
  Having the PM back in the House after her six weeks of maternity leave will be welcome. I hope that the baby is healthy, and doing well. But is the ‘First Man’ properly trained yet, and ready for his new responsibilities? Will he have a nanny to assist him?

      Nah!. She wont be back, I always said that she will turn up after the new year break. If she was fronting up at the end of her six weeks, the far left media would be having wet dreams in every newspaper, tv and womans weekly. Have you noticed that she has gone all quite lately. Not a thing is said. But I don’t watch the Labour party political tv news or read their far left newspapers.I think that she is hoping that after the break things have got better in that clusterfuck of a goverment. She will come back then as an ordinary elected MP.

Whale has sprung Helen Clark as being a liar.

In spite of her claiming she had never heard of Sir Ray Avery prior to the Eden Park nonsense it has been revealed that both Clark & Avery were keynote speakers at a medical conference at Christchurch in 2014. Christ that’s only 4 years ago.

Maybe she has old Crones disease.

    (My apologies to the many good people in Tuatapere for this slur on a place I have never been. Your town is as far away from Auckland geographically that is possible to be, aside from the Auckland Islands where they have an Emperor penguin for a mayor, whereas Auckland have a dick. The penguin i understand that he she it is doing a grand job, always well turned out on all occasions, pongs a bit though)

QV’s average property values have fallen in Auckland, Tauranga and Wellington over the last three months – vendors warned against unrealistic price expectations … Interest Co NZ

Quotable Value is warning flattening or falling house prices mean we are now in a buyer’s market and some vendors may have unrealistic expectations about what their property is worth …

… In Christchurch sales activity was slowing while property values were flat overall, according to QV Christchurch property consultant Hamish Collins.

There was growing interest for new builds in and around the city centre, but an oversupply of land and developments in fringe districts and on the outskirts of the city, he said.

These included areas such as Halswell, Wigram, Preston and the Selwyn and Waimakariri districts.

“We are seeing some developers offering new builds or recently constructed properties at discounts as a way to free up cash for their next project,” Collins said.

“This is having a flow on effect on the overall value of new builds or existing properties in these areas,” he said. … read more via hyperlink above …

https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/103331085/lincoln-from-mill-town-to-boom-town

It was supposed to be a post-quake phenomenon, yet there is little sign of it slowing. Why are rural fringe towns like Lincoln still growing so fast? JOHN McCRONE reports.

The contrast is striking. In central Christchurch, Fletcher Living is taking forever to get going on its East Frame townhouse and apartment block development.

Government and council have agreed that denser inner city housing is vital to making a success of the earthquake rebuild. Yet despite inking a deal with Fletcher to build nearly 1000 homes back in 2015, the first 20 properties won’t be finished until late this year.

The buyers just don’t seem to be there for them. And so the East Frame development has been uphill all the way.

However, take the road half an hour out of town to Lincoln and the story is the opposite. This once sleepy village has exploded with subdivisions. Its residential footprint is now 10 times what it was 20 years ago.

Ive been thinking to quote Richard Prebble. With all the working parties working groups etc the COL have set up at least it has prevented even more carnage like destroying the oil and gas industry.

However I shudder to think what will happen when all these groups report back with policies that will send the economy into free fall. inflation thru the roof and require massive tax/levy hikes to pay for them.

Simon et al have really got to be ready to counter each and every new policy pointing out in graphic detail the harm it will do to the COL voters.

Like the new domestic violence ( holiday) law that will see women not being employed least they disrupt the business when hubby/boyfriend decided to use them as a punching bag.

Small business owner wont take that risk on to potential cause fiscal harm to their business. Sel reservation always trumps “doing the public good”

  It is dangerous to look at it policy by policy, sector by sector. The real damage wil occur through cross-sector effects where policies that have been created in isolation clash and the effects will multiply to catastrophic proportions.
  The COL has no-one with the intellect or skill to see the big picture so they will pick away at it bit by bit and eventually the whole house of cards will crash. Economies are both resilient (to some policy changes) and fragile (to others) and my concern is that they are targeting some of the more finely balanced aspects of the NZ economy. Particularly energy, taxation exchange rate influencers and land based industries.
  Fasten your seat belts folks, we are in for a bumpy ride.

More proof that Obama is from Kenya
Very embarrassingly for the DNC, more proof has emerged to establish beyond doubt that Obama needs to be impeached for standing for the US presidency when he wasn’t eligible. I am not holding my breath waiting for the utterly trustworthy FBI to do their job – I’m sure they’ll find a reason why this sort of evidence isn’t substantial enough to lock-up a crook.

I mean this is only ex-President Obama, making a public statement that he visited Kenya three years ago “as the first sitting US President to come from Kenya”.

    Is there anything more gullible than a socialist who thinks that quoting wiki proves anything at all. It’s in the man’s own voice in his own words?
    
    Or are you suggesting that he merely “mis-spoke”? In the way that he continues to “mis-speak” when he refers to his “wife” as “Michael”. Or maybe the way he “mis-spoke” when he told an audience that he wanted to know what “magic wand” that Trump had that would bring back all the jobs Obama had ushered overseas?

  Apart from anything else Obama can’t be impeached because he no longer holds office.
  
  Maybe President Trump could attempt to deport him. Why don’t you drop a line to Ambassador Brown.

  I’m not sure about Kenya, but as I have pointed out in the past, Obama didn’t have enough nominations to run for president in the primary. Two Democrats were convicted and jailed for forging 9 pages of signatures to get him there.
  
  A jury in South Bend, Indiana has found that fraud put President Obama and Hillary Clinton on the presidential primary ballot in Indiana in the 2008 election. Two Democratic political operatives were convicted Thursday night in the illegal scheme after only three hours of deliberations. They were found guilty on all counts.
  
  Prosecutors say that in President Obama’s case, nine of the petition pages were apparently forged. Each petition contains up to 10 names, making a possible total of 90 names, which, if faked, could have brought the Obama total below the legal limit required to qualify. Prosecutors say 13 Clinton petitions were apparently forged, meaning up to 130 possibly fake signatures. Even if 130 signatures had been challenged, it would have still left Mrs. Clinton with enough signatures to meet the 500 person threshold.
  
  Levco said a total of “100 to 200” signatures had been forged on Obama’s and Clinton’s petitions.
  
  Numerous voters told Fox News that they never signed the petitions.
  
  “That’s not my signature,” Charity Rorie, a mother of four, told us when we showed her the Obama petition with her name and signature. She was stunned, saying that it “absolutely” was a fake.
  
  Charity told Fox News that her husband’s entry was also a forgery, and that they have never been contacted by investigators or any authorities looking into the scandal.
  
  “It’s scary, it’s shocking. It definitely is illegal,” she told us.
  
  Robert Hunter, Jr. told Fox news that his name was faked, too.
  
  “I did not sign for Barack Obama,” he told us. As he examined the Obama petition in his hands, Hunter pointed out that “I always put ‘Junior’ after my name, every time…there’s no ‘Junior’ there
  
  Even a former Democratic Governor of Indiana, Joe Kernan, told Fox News that his name was forged.
  
  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/26/officials-found-guilty-in-obama-clinton-ballot-petition-fraud.html
  
  It’s likely Obama never should have been president. Think of all the heartache that would have saved.

    If I were President and the other side of the political spectrum made a big deal of me not being an American, but rather born in the country I was speaking in, I’d probably joke I came from there as well. That’s the most likely explanation, but people who want to believe, will latch onto anything.

“Victoria University of Wellington’s Council has today agreed in principle to simplify the University’s name to ‘University of Wellington’.

The University Council has made a draft decision to recommend that the Minister of Education approve University of Wellington as the new legal name for the University, as well as adopt a new Māori name of Te Herenga Waka.”

        Because it clearly says:

        – Victoria will continue to be used
        – It is open for consultation
        
        I haven’t considered all the marketing implications but I can’t see the problem with changing the name in principle. I can see why some people might be emotionally attached to the current name, but change is inevitable – except from a vending machine

Greens lying about being “open and transparent” – well I never

The loons on the left are all glad-handling themselves for the paragons of openness and honesty being modelled by the Green ministers.

They’ve released their diaries. Except they haven’t!

They’ve released a table made up in what looks like MS Word listing one or two items per day. Even a moment’s thought will establish that this is at the very least a Pinochio-like version of the truth. Ministers’ offices live and die by their Minister’s diary – they are complicated things where the Minister’s existence is tidily sliced up into half hour slots from 7am to 10pm filled with on average 10-20 separate meetings, events, briefings every single day.

As usual the barking mad hypocrites on the Left are relying upon telling the biggest and fattest of lies. Again and again – the follow the advice of the great grand-daddy of all SJW liars – Goebbels when he noted the the bigger and more outrageous the lie, the less likely anyone will believe you have the audacity to tell it.

Well they’re certainly open and transparent about the audacity of their lies!

Question for Maggy
Mrs Holy was in the shower the other day. I stood there watching her and admiring her body.
She looked up and told me to stop perving at her.
Now, my question; is it considered perving if all one is doing is admiring ones wife’s beautiful body in all its glory?

  What religion are you?
  – That will determine if you can perve at your wife.
  
  Otherwise if you are a bigoted old atheist like me, then I reckon you’d better follow your wife’s edicts and leave her to shower and dress in peace…. and remember to shut the bloody door when you go to the Loo!

    “bigoted old atheist like me”
    Add “old white man” to that and you would be correct.
    We have a better class of home with an en suite. Bit hard to shut the door there.
    (for the likes of stooooopidboy, an en suite is a room next to the bedroom that usually has a toilet and shower)

  Some times people do not understand the intense love we have for our wives.
  
  I like to run my hands all over my wife’s beautiful body plus have the occasional intimate fondle.
  
  It’s a pity that security at various major stores we visit do not agree and have banned us.

    Reminds me of the story of the deli worker who went to the shrink as he had an urgent desire to put his dick into the polony slicer at work. After many sessions, he eventually told the shrink he had done it. So what happened, asked the shocked shrink? Oh, we were both fired he replied, but she was worth it….

More unintended consequences. Due to the Govt’s funding of healthcare for low income folks, we are running out of GPs and two week waits could become normal.

  Dunedin , long wait for social housing for the natives.
  
  ‘Recently released data from the Ministry of Social Development shows 118 people or families in Dunedin waiting for government housing at the end of March, with 28 extra already in such housing waiting to be transferred to more suitable homes.’
  
  https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/dunedin-housing-wait-worse-ever
  
  Thing is , this was on the front page of the ODT.
  
  The same paper that is now pimping the poor waiting for housing has been to the forefront of the “lets turn Dunedin into a Syrian ‘refugee’ housing Mecca”
  
  Sorry feel good lefties , you can’t have it both ways. In this world it’s them or us and as far as I’m concerned citizens come before non citizens. We can’t have a world without borders , we must have borders and we must look after our own first.

  Wait between 30 to 60 minutes. $18
  Most of the doctors are immigrants from four corners of the world.

Seems The Liberal Government in Australia have been discussing a Global Compact on Immigration with the United Nations.
It appears this would give huge powers to the UN over immigration and in effect remove sovereignty .
The discussions have been exposed and questions are being asked of Dutton but I wonder if NZ has been involved in the same way and just what is going on.

  How would such a deal benefit Australia? What pressure could the UN bring to bear on Australia? Does the Liberal Government in Australia have a mandate to boost immigration from non-traditional-source countries (so-called ethnic replacement)?

    I am not arguing for or against ethnic replacement, only that the original population should have been informed of the effects of the government’s change in immigration policing to draw immigrants from totally new regions (and cultures). If the original population were happy with the idea of ethnic transformations of many of their suburbs, then by all means, bring it on.
    
    One could make the argument that a new hard-working, insular, self-funding, self-helping, highly competitive ethnic group will be “good for the country” but what to do when it out-competes the local population?
    
    It’s a conundrum. Competition is good, but it’s not much fun when you are on the losing side and you refuse to compete back.

Good news coming out of National’s conference. Bridges has announced that, if elected in 2020, National will legislate for the reintroduction of partnership schools with 12 months of being re-elected.

  Justice Gendall said he believed a finite jail term would not adequately protect society and preventive detention must be imposed.
  
  A sentence of preventive detention means that this bloke may never be released. That can only be a good thing.
  
  He’s been given a minimum of eight years non-parole, but it is highly unlikely the Parole Board would release him on first application given his history of offending.

Good news out of National’s conference whatever.

Bridges’ problem isn’t himself, I am growing to like him. His problem is the fact that National Party supporters like myself support the party reluctantly, not enthusiastically.

It’s a hell of a challenge for him because Nat supporters who don’t know or care to understand the machinations and mystery of how it all works at local and international levels, just wanted their frigging tax cuts and possibly an end to the Maori gravy train and a few other small, standard, Right Wing causes.

I live in a high income area where a lot of people support the Nats, own businesses etc, they think National did well with the economy but failed to address the social wreckage that gets worse incrementally year on year.

    The comparison of Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people to the oppression of Jews in Europe in the 1930s and ’40s is often made by Israeli people of conscience, and even by Israeli politicians, including Moshe Dayan and David Ben Gurion himself. The hardline Israeli politician Yosef “Tommy” Lapid made the same point….
    
    Lapid said in a weekly commentary on Israel Radio in early 2007, after airing of video footage showing a Palestinian woman being viciously verbally attacked through the iron bars on the veranda of her downtown Hebron home by a neighboring Israeli woman settler – who among other things called the Palestinian woman a sharmuta (“whore”), that what was happening in Hebron reminded him of persecution endured by Jews in his native Yugoslavia on the eve of World War Two. “It was not crematoria or pogroms that made our life in the diaspora bitter before they began to kill us, but persecution, harassment, stone-throwing, damage to livelihood, intimidation, spitting and scorn,” Lapid said in his radio commentary.

GROPERS
No. 37: Hugh Hefner’s disgusting guests

…. During the mid-1980s, a photographer pal sneaked me into the Playboy mansion to watch a photo shoot. I was like an undercover under-the-covers agent. Topless bimbettes lazed in the sun around the pool like bored pedigree cats. I watched, agog, while drooling, beer-bellied businessmen volunteered to rub in their suntan lotion. ….

But for all its glamorous mystique, the mansion was really nothing more than a tawdry meat market. The bunnies seemed to spend their days as half naked ornaments, being ogled by sexually famished midwest businessmen and spent their nights as human handbags, draped over visiting executives.

The peccadillos of another Hillary Clinton supporter:
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/08/06/les-moonves-and-cbs-face-allegations-of-sexual-misconduct

In recent months, Moonves has become a prominent voice in Hollywood’s #MeToo movement. In December, he helped found the Commission on Eliminating Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace, which is chaired by Anita Hill. “It’s a watershed moment,” Moonves said at a conference in November. “I think it’s important that a company’s culture will not allow for this. And that’s the thing that’s far-reaching. There’s a lot we’re learning. There’s a lot we didn’t know.”

But Moonves’s private actions belie his public statements. Six women who had professional dealings with him told me that, between the nineteen-eighties and the late aughts, Moonves sexually harassed them. Four described forcible touching or kissing during business meetings, in what they said appeared to be a practiced routine. Two told me that Moonves physically intimidated them or threatened to derail their careers.

Well I never – a bunch of socialists running out of other peoples money:-

“UNITED NATIONS – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the U.N. is running out of money and is urging members to pay up amid a looming financial crisis for the international body.
In a letter to staff this week, seen by Fox News, Guterres says he has warned member states of a “troubling financial situation facing the United Nations,” which he says is caused by late payments to the U.N. by member states.
“Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year, and the broader trend is also concerning; we are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer,” he says.

‘Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year.’

– U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
Guterres went on to say that the organization will be taking measures to look at reducing costs, in a way that won’t affect their mission. He said he also will be proposing to states various steps to strengthen financial stability at the U.N.

Trump administration threats to cut funding do not appear to be directly linked to the cash crunch.

While the administration has been eyeing carefully its payments to various U.N. funds and agencies, the U.S. has not yet reduced or delayed its payments to the budget, though due to the fall start of the U.S. fiscal year, payments usually come later in the year.

      Most Arabs hate the Palestinians. Won’t allow them to settle in their countries, only support them cos they hate Jews more. At End of gulf war 1 Kuwait ethnically cleansed themselves of Palestinians: told them all to get the fuck out, and shot a whole lot to underline their request. Went from 400k pre-war to almost none post-war.

IF someone were to do a voice face unseen of the vocality needed to become a leader I’m sure Bridges would be down there with Bill Rowling and phil Goff. It’s a boys voice about to drop. He has a young man’s face as well. The image is the message.
I’m still disappointed English gave up too soon. he had the voice and was just beginning to develop it. Sorry folks but he’s doomed. Politicians just don’t get what the fickle public pick up on. Deny all you want but he’s doomed.

Dutch citizens condemn the brutality and stupidity of the Bible

Some Dutch people were approached and asked to listen to some passages from the Koran. After being read out some particularly violent and bloodthirsty passages, they expressed some contemptuous opinions about the simpletons who believe in such a vile religion….

“If you’ve been raised with this book and these kinds of thoughts it’s going to influence the way you think.”

“The world is changing and I think they should have to adapt to it.”

“How could anyone believe in this?! That’s unbelievable to me.”

Trouble is, the passage actually came not from the Koran but from the Bible….

      Yes. Same with politics or any tribal group. See the outrage of those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome when presented with Obama policies, thinking Trump made them.
      
      People as individuals are normally reasonable civilised to each other. Infect them with group think and they can easily turn rather evil. The most effective way is religion.

        Even if Jesus and Mohammed were real persons (doubtful and likely, respectfully), their supposed examples and teachings have inspired many millions of humans to great good and to great evil.

        Saw an interesting piece by late-great Hitchens, saying that while evidence for historicality of Jesus is almost zero, the fact that they fabricated the story of the Nativity (embellished with a whole lot of details about a census that are proven lies) to make him fit into Jewish messiah prophecy (need to be of house of David = from Bethlehem, a bit of a problem if you are not, and there is no record of Nazareth even existing at supposed time of Jesus’s birth) makes it somewhat more likely that there was actually a real Jesus who’s backstory wasn’t quite what was needed to get Jewish bums on pews.

    “Jesus the forgiving loving teacher”
    
    Jesus said all of the hideous laws in the old testament still apply and introduced eternal torture in hell.
    
    This includes killing an entire town if one person worships another god, and killing a non virgin bride by stoning her to death on her fathers doorstep. You sick fuck.
    
    “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17 )
    
    “Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God.” (2 Peter 20-21 )

      That’s not very Christian softy !
      
      ✞“Jesus’ statement that ‘I in them [his followers] and you [the Father] in me’ turns out to be quite a description,” he notes. “What we find in John is a Jesus who longs to be ‘had’ by the Father”.
      
      “Things do not get less queer as one gets to the other parts of John’s Gospel. It is noticeable that throughout the Gospel Jesus and his Father form a “mutual glorification society”. This constant elevation or stroking is nothing less than an exciting of the penis, or better yet, phallus,” he adds. ✞

This old bloke goes into an old folks’ home because he keeps falling over and his son can’t keep his eye on him all the time.

On his first day in the home, a female nurse comes along to give him a wash and she notices he has a slight erection. With that, she gives him a blow job. He gets straight on the phone to his son, telling him that he just got a gobble and what a wonderful place it was.

The following, day he’s walking down a corridor and he falls over – suddenly, from behind, a male nurse gives him one up the arse. He gets straight on the phone to his son again and says “get me out of here, a male nurse just banged me up the arse.

His son says, “look, dad, so you took one up the arse – you got a blow job yesterday, you have to take the rough with the smooth.”

The old bloke says, “fuck off, I get a hard on three times a year but I fall over three times a fucking day!”

  He strikes me as as good straight up bloke.

Winston starting to panic and send mixed messages to his old age followers by saying the Three Strikes Law doesn’t work anymore and then follow that up by trying to belittle David Garrett three criminal charges with the establishment. Peters is now changing policy like he changes his underpants and must have people wondering whether bad poll result are getting in the way of his judgement with some of his latest press releases. Simon Bridges has finally got into the act with some good smart comments on Winston at the National Party Conference and the coming week should be interesting with National about to push Peters to the limit.

  National just need to rule out working with NZ First again and say so now, and all the way to the next election.
  
  Bonus: That will get Winston wound up and even more toxic!
  
  Serves him right – he can’t be trusted and even if he could, the allure of baubles will cloud any common sense thinking!

  This matches statements by NZ First’s justice spokesman.
  
  If Peters changes direction on Little’s campaign to end Three Strikes, NZ First is dead, and let’s hope it takes the coalition with it to the political grave.
  
  But maybe it’s a chance for National to win a majority on its own on a law-and-order stand unique among choices for the voter.

Winston Peters might be interested in this list of “second strikers” that DPF has helpfully compiled.
He could cite these people as examples when he tells us all that the 3 strikes law isn’t working.

A huge no-go area to the authorities in Paris highlights the extent of the illegal immigrant problem.

Is this going to climax with an authoritarian government sending in the Foreign Legion to expel these folk?

Meanwhile, Australia refused to sign up to UN control of its immigration:

  Great to see Aussie standing up to the UN.
  They are a pack of sickly white left leaning liberals.

Of course its working.
Winston says there are 116 on their second strike.
I cant wait till our weak judges give some of these guys their third strike.
Then the policy will really hit home.
And I don’t want those 116 thugs walking around our streets like time bombs

The Three strikes law would work even better if judges would not keep finding ways to use the “Manifestly unfair clause”

If National get back in I’d like them to remove that clause.
