A young Arab boy asks his father, “What is that weird hat you are wearing?*

The father said, “Why, It’s a ‘chechia’ because in the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun.”

“And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?” asked the boy.

“Oh, my son!” exclaimed the father “This is a ‘djbellah’ because in the desert it is very hot and it protects the body, said the father.

The son then asked: “But Father, what about those weird shoes you have on your feet?”

His father replied, “These are ‘babouches’ which keep us from burning our feet from hot sand in the desert.”

“So tell me then,” added the boy.

“Yes, my son…”

“Why are you living in Mt Roskill, Auckland, and still wearing all this shit?”

‘Ōtorohanga Kiwi House faces $15k bill after theft and arson spree

Ōtorohanga’s Kiwi House says two deliberate attacks in November caused thousands of dollars in damage and left critical wildlife systems disabled for four days.
Operations manager Julian Phillips told 1News the first incident happened in the early hours of November 6, when an offender destroyed the centre’s external meter board, disabling power and security systems before climbing onto the roof and stealing a specialist digital bridge.
The theft affected heating, ventilation, humidity control, after-hours monitoring for nocturnal habitats, EFTPOS systems, and an electric fence surrounding the park and its enclosures, putting the birds at risk.
It took two days to repair and another two days to bring systems back online.
“We were basically offline for four days during our busy season,” he said.
“Having said that, our visitors were amazing. They were happy to shoot into town and get cash for us.”
Six days later, staff leaving work smelled smoke and discovered the public toilets at the bottom of the park on fire.
Security footage later revealed the same individuals had also tried to start a fire on the rear deck of a meeting room.
“Thankfully the weather prevented it,” Phillips said.
“Otherwise we’d have been in serious trouble.”
The incidents have cost the charity more than $10,000 in repairs and replacement equipment, plus around $5000 in lost income.
“As a charity, that hurts. Every dollar spent fixing this is a dollar taken away from conservation work, animal care and improving habitats,” Phillips said.
“It’s deeply disheartening to be forced to spend scarce funds on fixing infrastructure that should never have been damaged or stolen in the first place.”
Despite setbacks, Phillips said the centre’s commitment to wildlife care remained “unwavering”.
“Nothing’s going to stop us doing what we do. We’re incredibly grateful to our community and for the support shown during this period. It’s that support of our community and our extended stakeholders actually enables us to continue our work, even in the face of challenges like this.”
Sergeant Gary Anderson said police had received reports of both incidents.
Initial inquiries into the burglary had so far been unsuccessful.
“Should new information come to light, police will take further appropriate action.”
The two youths allegedly responsible for setting off the fireworks behind the deck fire were believed to have been involved in an arson that took place at the public toilets in Ōtorohanga on the same day, Anderson said.
They had been referred to Youth Aid.
The Ōtorohanga Kiwi House was New Zealand’s first kiwi house and also hosts kākā, kea, kererū, ruru, other native birds, lizards and bugs’.

Worth noting that the spare land adjacent to the Kiwi House used to be a well utilised camping ground. It was shut for some reason.

It’s possibly too late for the slow learners in Germany – only now does a significant majority consider that both mass illegal and legal immigration has been bad for Germany, and just over half want a complete moratorium:

Germany has been a US Army occupied territory for 80 years.
and they US has hammered them down to ensure they do not rise again.

Russian left Germany in 1990, after 45 years
and Germany actually attacked Russia , severely, for several years
remember
so Russia had the right to march in
and occupy a buffer zone for 45 years.

and what has happened when Russia left Germany
the NUTO mob have again marched eastwards like they did in 1941
June 1941 before US was even in the ww2.

Women CEO’s and their equally girly directors.

David Walliams dropped by publisher over inappropriate behaviour towards women: “After careful consideration, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams. The author is aware of this decision.

“HarperCollins takes employee wellbeing extremely seriously and has processes in place for reporting and investigating concerns. To respect the privacy of individuals we do not comment on internal matters.”
Walliams, who rose to fame more than 20 years ago through the comedy series Little Britain, has since become one of Britain’s most successful authors, with more than 40 books and short story collections to his name and sales of more than 60 million copies. In 2019 it was estimated that he and his publisher had sold £100m worth of books.

Head of US workplace rights agency urges white men to report discrimination
EEOC head Andrea Lucas urges white males to report discrimination
The head of the US agency for enforcing workplace civil rights posted a social media call-out urging white men to come forward if they have experienced race or sex discrimination at work.
“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex? You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws,” US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Andrea Lucas, a vocal critic of diversity, equity and inclusion, wrote in an X post Wednesday evening (local time) with a video of herself. The post urged eligible workers to reach out to the agency “as soon as possible” and referred users to the agency’s fact sheet on “DEI-related discrimination” for more information.

Russell Brand has criticised Katy Perry’s romance with Justin Trudeau.
The comedian – who is facing trial for five sexual assaults, including rape – said he was “OK” with his ex-wife’s relationship with Orlando Bloom, but did not approve of the former Canadian prime minister as her new partner.
The 50-year-old, who was married to Perry between 2010 and 2012, labelled Trudeau a “globalist stooge”.
He was speaking at a Turning Point USA event on Thursday in Phoenix, Arizona, where Perry’s parents were said to be in attendance.

“Look, Katy Perry, I was married to her,” he said to the crowds.
“I love her still, and I’m glad that her mum’s in the room to hear me say this, but look – I was okay with Orlando Bloom, but Justin Trudeau?

“Come on, man. Don’t put me in a category with that guy – that globalist stooge.”

How a trusted senior police official became a foreign state’s ‘gatekeeper’
In November 2022, graffiti appeared on the walls of the Chinese Consulate in Auckland. Two sets of Chinese characters were spraypainted: “Xi Jinping step down”, “Communist Party step down”, and for good measure, “f***”.
The Consulate reported it to police, and followed up with a personal email to police ethnic responsiveness manager for Tāmaki Makaurau, Jessica Phuang, asking for contact details for Diplomatic Protection Services.
Phuang replied, copying the district’s most senior police officer, Auckland East area commander Inspector Jim Wilson, along with the officer in charge of protection services. She highlighted Wilson’s good relationship with the Consulate – “Insp Wilson is well known among the staff of the Consulate,” she wrote – translated the graffiti, noting that one phrase “included a derogatory remark,” and asked if team members could be assigned to liaise with the Consul.

where the hell does a man find decent heavy duty stuff these days?

ive got a big old skool crowbar up in the bush for my gold adventures, its an old railways one i scored from an old family friend. anyways this thing is about 50mm thick and 1.6m long and you need to be a real fucking man just to pick the thing up, ive levered some monster rocks without bending it… got a new “heavy duty” crowbar to test new ground and save an hours walk with the heavy real man crowbar but its a fucking joke, first rock i jammed it in i near folded the thing in half. flipped it over and bent it straightish again but its pretty much a useless ornament.

why the hell is crap made so cheap n weak these days? same goes for most tools really, just utter shit that needs replaced all the time.

anyways if anyone knows where to get a chunky tough crowbar let me know! failing that i might have to get my engineer to order me in some decent bar and i fashion my own…. theres a shitload of rocks n boulders preventing me from collecting a shitload of gold grrrrr.

The heroic war narrative collapses when money, power, and history are traced instead of slogans repeated. As corruption scandals circle Zelensky’s inner circle: oversight dismantled, aid siphoned, and legacy media pivoting only once denial becomes impossible. This isn’t about Ukraine alone, but about how democracy is marketed while corruption is tolerated whenever geopolitical leverage is at stake.

Bret Weinstein’s analysis of the 80 Ivermectin Court cases reveals a mind blowing statistic.

In the 40 cases where Ivermectin was permitted 38 survived.
In the 40 cases where it was not 38 died.

Using a standard statistical formula the chances that Ivermectin had no impact are roughly 1 in 20 quadrillion.

As Weinstein put it –
‘like guessing a random 15 digit number on your first try’

Yet we were denied this treatment.

This is one of the biggest medical tragedies in modern history!!

The case of 5 in 1 car & 2 in the other car, where Sydney police arrested them.

This must have come from ASIO, or some Intelligence agency, claiming they had the evidence of some devious plan, or was it a dream?
Were they already being monitored? So what triggered stop!
Did they figure more evidence was in the car or on the arrested?
Were lap-tops, tablets, cell phones checked or was a lawyer able to stop that?

Is it a case of driving a car, while being muslim?

Police lacked sufficient evidence to charge the men with any offences, and they were released earlier today.

I have only 1 question?
Did the men not pull over when the sirens & lights started flashing?
Or ramming the cars just started out of the ‘blue’?

Who signed the warrant to detain these guys & on what basis?

May be some provocation to draw attention to just minor players, sucking resources out of the police systems?
They all know how to play a part, with out much suffering on their part.
So now a lot of money to flow from the Police Department.

According to estimates, Kiev needs €72 billion to repay a G7 loan and stay afloat fiscally.
EU member rejects further funding for Ukrainian military
The conflict between Moscow and Kiev cannot be resolved on the battlefield, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has said
Slovakia will not provide further funding for Ukraine’s military because the conflict cannot be settled on the battlefield, Prime Minister Robert Fico has said.
Fico, who survived an assassination attempt by a pro-Ukraine activist in 2024, was speaking after EU leaders failed to reach agreement on a plan to use frozen Russian assets to back a controversial €90 billion ($105 billion) loan for Kiev. Instead, member states agreed to issue joint debt – by borrowing on capital markets – to provide Kiev with short-term funding.
Slovakia will not be part of any military loan for Ukraine, and we reject further financing, including from the resources of the Slovak Republic, of military needs,” Fico told reporters on Friday.
At the EU summit in Brussels, Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever was among those who raised objections to tapping the Russian assets, with support from Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Hungary’s Viktor Orban, Slovakia’s Fico, and the Czech Republic’s Andrej Babis.
Orban, Fico, and Babis reportedly put forward an option for EU members to provide joint debt for Ukraine instead – exempting their countries from the plan but also pledging not to veto it.

European Council President Antonio Costa said the bloc would reserve the option of servicing the loan using proceeds linked to frozen Russian assets. Without the EU financing, Ukraine faces a looming economic crisis. According to estimates, Kiev needs €72 billion to repay a G7 loan and stay afloat fiscally.
Fico, a long-time opponent of EU military aid for Kiev, earlier called Ukraine a “black hole” of corruption that has swallowed billions of euros from the bloc.

READ MORE: EU ‘will have to give back’ Russian assets – Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his annual Q&A session on Friday that the EU will eventually have to return Russia’s sovereign assets. He warned the bloc against tapping the assets, saying it would risk undermining the foundations of the European financial system.

Did you see the NZ cops have had a major data breach. A “computer glitch” (a human one?) missed redacting names and details of those involved in court cases.

Would you want the cops holding your personal details!

https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/tech-glitch-may-have-exposed-sensitive-information-police-files-rnz
An email, seen by RNZ, says that a technical issue with police’s Incident Management Tool (IMT) had been discovered that resulted in a proportion of redacted documents produced from the investigation software since December 4 that had redactions that were not applied correctly by the system.

In response to questions from RNZ, Acting Assistant Commissioner Investigations, Serious and Organised Crime Keith Borrell said that on December 15 the disclosure functionality of Police’s IMT was placed on hold after a “technical issue” was identified.

To paraphrase Martin Niemöller:

When the socialists came for the knives,
I kept quiet; I still had forks.

When they came for the forks, I said nothing;
I had a drawer full of spoons

When they came for the spoons, there was no way left to eat.

A growing dispute is unfolding as some Muslim immigrant business owners across the U.S. warn they may shut down gas stations, laundromats, and car washes, saying they no longer feel safe operating their businesses.

Several owners claim they are considering pulling their investments and returning to their countries of origin, citing fear and backlash they say intensified after President Trump announced new safety and vetting measures targeting a small group of high-risk countries.

According to those business owners, the policy shift has led to heightened hostility, harassment, and a sense of being singled out, even though the rules are not explicitly based on religion. Some say the political rhetoric surrounding the announcement has made everyday interactions tense, leaving them worried about their families and livelihoods. “We fear for our lives,” several owners reportedly said, describing an atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety.

Supporters of the administration strongly dispute that characterization. They argue the new measures are strictly about national security, not faith or ethnicity, and are designed to strengthen vetting procedures rather than punish law-abiding immigrants. From their perspective, claims of widespread danger are exaggerated and risk inflaming divisions.
Critics, however, contend that regardless of intent, the messaging has consequences. They argue that fear even if not directly encouraged can spread quickly and affect entire communities when policy debates turn heated.

As the situation escalates, the controversy is becoming another flashpoint in the broader immigration debate. Businesses, politics, and personal safety are colliding, and the fallout is no longer theoretical. Whether the tension eases or deepens may depend less on policy details and more on how leaders choose to frame the conversation moving forward.

Can we do this here?

Compare & contrast.

UK schools may soon refer boys as young as 11 for “re-education” if teachers detect what they deem to be “toxic” or “misogynistic” views.

Of course no teacher would consider recommending an “Anti-misogyny” “re-educations” to those cultured, bright & sassy lads.

So the liberals think they have the cure all, but grant so many exemptions, thinking they are going to not only keep control, but increase their controls on every one else on the path to Utopia.
Fucking nutz.

That is actually misandrist,

Feminism is a serious mental health disease

R F Kennedy Jnr should have feminists locked up
under mental health rules
and treated
…. until they straighten them out ⛏️🔨

Faaark I remember Blinglish
Was a reasonable finance guy, (the competition is pretty much nonexistent)
but once he became PM (was he really there he went completely limp wristed
Running around claiming to be a feminist
any respect vanished thereafter
Catholics and power !!

It was dark & stormy night in deepest Southland when a young lad decided to visit a friend. Not far from his destination his car broke down & it began to rain so heavily that he couldn’t see his hands in front of him. He walked for as long as he could but the rain became too much to bear. He found a tree & stood beneath it hoping for a lift.
Hours went by & he was beginning to give up hope. It was a quiet road indeed that he had found himself on. The next town wasn’t for miles so he’d have to stay the night under this tree if he didn’t find a ride. 

Just as things were looking grim, he catches a light moving slowly towards him. He’s saved! 

Desperate for a ride, he jumps into the vehicle once it stops for him. Once in, he turned to the driver seat to say thanks & only then did he realise that the then moving car had no driver. The rain was so heavy, he couldn’t even hear the sound of the engine as the car slowly continued its journey. 

The lad was too scared to move, too afraid to jump out of the car & run. Seeing the car was coming to a sharp bend that lead down to dark water he began to pray for his life. He was sure the ghost car would go off the road & into the river, where he would surely drown! 

Right before the car made it to the bend, a shadowy hand reached in through the driver side window & turned the wheel, guiding the car around the bend, thus avoiding a wet demise for the lad. Just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window & the hitchhiker was alone again. 

Paralysed with fear, the lad watched the hand reappear every time they reached a bend. Finally, scared to near death, he’d had all he could take & jumped out of the car & ran towards the first town he could find. 
Wet & in shock, he went into the nearest pub & told everybody about his supernatural experience. A silence enveloped the room & everybody got goosebumps when they realised the guy was telling the truth about the strange car & the ghostly hand that guided it on its way. 

Just then, two men walked into the bar. They were dripping wet & as they took off their rain gear, they looked around the room. Their eyes came to rest on the hitchhiker. They pointed at him ominously & he feared they were ghosts come to get him. 

“Look!” said one of the men, “There’s the idiot who jumped into our car when we were pushing it in the rain.”

This is long, but you might like to watch. Putin did a 4.5-hour stint with journalists and answered their questions.

Someone points out that the Russian journalists were free and were not arrested as opposed to the Brits having arrested 13.000 people for saying things that the Govt. didn’t like.

Angus Kebbell finds all farmers face the same challenge: how to build systems that remain productive, profitable and socially supported while navigating political and environmental expectations.

There is something grounding about stepping outside New Zealand and looking at another farming system in detail, not through a headline or a policy summary but through the voices of the people who live and work within it, because it reminds us that while geography and governance differ, the underlying pressures shaping agriculture are remarkably similar.

Poland may sit on the other side of the world, operating within the machinery of the European Union and the Common Agricultural Policy, but as this episode makes clear, its farmers are grappling with many of the same tensions that define rural New Zealand today.
Poland is often overlooked in global agricultural conversations, yet it is a significant food producer by any measure. Since joining the European Union in 200,4 the Polish economy has doubled in size and agriculture, forestry and fishing now account for around 2.9 percent of national GDP, twice the European average. Poland is the fifth largest contributor to Europe’s agricultural sector and one of the continent’s major producers of cereals, milk, poultry and beef, while also leading the EU in raspberries and blackcurrants and competing with Spain for blueberries. That scale matters, but so does the structure sitting beneath it.
