hoho, just cause its raining and Tarquin has blessed us with the rain no reason not to get out of bed.
We have a nice warm day and had a spring rain yesterday that freshened everything up out of winter. The daffodils are out and the walnut trees are starting to bud, this is much nicer than the last 3 1/2 months of cold weather.
I was thinking about mowing the lawn this morning. It started raining 5 minutes later.
I was thinking about working today, but thankfully after a coffee that urge went away.
And a good morning to you all my fellow YSB-ers.
A question: What happened with dl’s appearance at the US Democrat convention in Chicago?
Did it even occur?
I ask this as (Typically) there was lots of noise beforehand, yet now only crickets are to be heard – even in the ‘Oh-so-supportive’ NZMSM..
Thanks.
Komata, I believe her meeting was held behind one of the Convention Centre’s shit house doors. As there were so many arseholes attending the Convention, it was difficult for the MSM to distinguish, who was the greater arsehole behind said door, so no reporting has been undertaken.
As such, Cindy, the Face That Launched 1,000 Chips, has slunk off back to Boston.
Brilliant.
Her press release may have over egged her profile.
Pity it wasn’t her face!

The speaker tended to side with the Republicans on issues & it would be fair to say that Trump & Huey can count on his vote. It is the comments which expose the deeply troubling chasm between the Yank electorate & reality.
Even if their Deity exists, an hypothesis for which there is no empirical evidence, U Tube’s commentators should realise that their imaginary Saviour has a lot on his plate at present. With world unrest, pestilence & AIDS the celestial cellular network is overloaded with fruitcakes begging for this, beseeching that, all calling for plagues & frogs to be dropped on the congregation next door.
Cut the poor bugger a bit of slack & at least give him Sundays off to catch up on the elysian housework. 🙂

Germany: Multiple People Killed, Several Injured in ‘Diversity Festival’ Mass Stabbing
At least three people were reportedly killed and several others were left in serious condition after a mass stabbing at a “Festival of Diversity” in the German city of Solingen on Friday evening.
UPDATE 2315: Germany’s Bild newspaper has reported that eyewitnesses said that they saw an “Arab-looking man” flee from the scene of the attack. The suspect is still at large at the time of this reporting. The knifeman reportedly targeted the necks of his victims, leading police to suspect terrorism.
Tragedy struck as the city of Solingen celebrated its 650th anniversary with a “Festival of Diversity” as a reported mass stabbing took place as festival goers gathered in the city centre.
According to the local Solinger Tageblatt newspaper, citing two sources at the scene, the believed knife attack left three people dead, six others were seriously injured, and another was injured.

SELLING LANDCORP A NO-BRAINER
ACT has reaffirmed its longstanding position that Landcorp/Pamu should be sold after it reported a net loss after tax of $26 million for the year ending 30 June.
Government has no business being in farming, particularly when New Zealand has plenty of ambitious, talented farmers who deserve the opportunity to farm the land currently owned by Landcorp, says ACT’s Primary Industries spokesperson and Ruawai dairy farmer Mark Cameron.
Landcorp has delivered an extremely poor return on the taxpayer’s investment for many years.
An independent review in 2021 found the organisation failed to meet financial forecasts, had high corporate costs, and invested in unprofitable off-farm ventures.
No private operation would be able to continue to fail like this. Landcorp is taking taxpayers for a ride.
If private farmers owned these farms, they would operate them more efficiently because they would have skin in the game.
The role of government is to provide essential services, not to compete with businesses in the private sector.
All Landcorp do now is run a few blocks of land until it’s given to Maori in Treaty settlements.
The gimmees will never let it be sold off.
Dead right Nasska. Every Landcorp farm between Wakamaru, Turangi and National Park with one exception (as it is still in Landcorp hands) has been given to the very wealthy Tuwharetoa or sub tribes. Not one that I am aware of went into any ballot, all have been given to Maori as a Treaty settlement. Honky on former Landcorp farms on the west side of Lake Taupo are nowhere to be seen, the Early Settler now has been gifted them, but many of these former Landcorp farms have Honky Managers as they seem to be the only ones who can run them at a half reasonable profit.
TAH@1425
With rare exceptions it IS noticeable that ‘Maori’ are not farmers and that any land returned to them tend to revert to scrub etc. after being taken over from the European leasees. The ‘Incorporations’ can sometimes succeed, but this will largely depend-upon the skills of those (Frequently European) placed in ‘management’ positions
The demands that Maori tradition places on Maori managers is not compatible with modern farming practises where monetary profit is the goal. For instance loyalty to whanua & ones own iwi means turning a blind eye to stock losses every time there’s a tangi or hui.
Pakeha managers can demand that the tribal trustees back them & do things above the board or they’ll move on.
I’ve known & still know a few private Maori farmers & they’re up there with the best in the country.
Every year, Morris and his wife Esther would go to the state fair, and every single time, Morris would say, “Esther, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.” But Esther always had the same reply: “I know, Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.”
Well, one year, as they strolled through the fair, Morris, now 85 years old, turned to Esther and said, “Esther, I’m 85. If I don’t ride that helicopter now, I might never get another chance.”
But Esther, true to form, responded, “Morris, that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.”
The pilot, who had overheard their conversation, decided to offer them a deal. “Folks,” he said, “I’ll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire flight and not say a single word, I won’t charge you a penny! But if you say even one word, it’s fifty dollars.”
Morris and Esther agreed, and up they went. The pilot tried every trick in the book—daring dives, sharp turns, and all kinds of fancy maneuvers—but not a peep came from Morris or Esther. He pushed the helicopter to the limit, but still, silence.
When they finally landed, the pilot, amazed, turned to Morris and said, “By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t! I’m impressed!”
Morris, with a twinkle in his eye, replied, “Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!” 😆💸
Just in case.

RFK, Jr. Full Speech
Full Transcript from Kennedy’s speech:
….. As you know, I left that party in October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with.
It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, big tech, big ag and big money when it abandoned democracy by canceling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president, ……
https://www.malone.news/p/rfk-jr-full-speech-also-as-text
RFK Jr. covers a wide variety of points, and it seems he will make things interesting all the way round.
…. A few weeks later, I met again with President Trump and his family members and closest advisers in Florida in a series of long, intense discussions. I was surprised to discover that we are aligned on many key issues.
In those meetings, he suggested that we join forces as a Unity Party. We talked about Abraham Lincoln’s Team of Rivals. That arrangement would allow us to disagree publicly and privately and furiously, if need be on issues over which we differ while working together on the existential issues upon which we are in concordance.
I was a ferocious critic of many of the policies during his first administration. There are still issues and approaches upon which we continue to have very serious differences. Still, we are aligned with each other on other key issues, like ending the Forever wars, ending the childhood disease epidemics, securing the border, protecting freedom of speech, unraveling the corporate capture of our regulatory agencies, getting the US intelligence agencies out of the business of propagandizing and censoring and surveilling Americans and interfering with Our elections

No one is buying what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democratic Party are selling these days.
Barack and Michelle Obama. Barack and Michelle tried to gin up artificial enthusiasm for Harris by recapturing the good ol’ days 2008-era magic of “hope” and “yes we can!” No sentient human being could plausibly nod along to a comparison between Barack Obama and Harris. Shared far-left politics and general swarthiness aside, the talented orator Obama does not in any way resemble the dimwitted California cackler-in-chief, who is less popular than venereal disease and was only installed as Democrats’ presidential nominee following Uncle Joe’s bloodless coup due to a forced hand and lack of any other viable option.

Police have issued summonses for three people to appear in court, in connection with one of the country’s worst miscarriages of justice.
After a two-year police investigation, police this morning issued summonses and executed search warrants at Auckland properties, for three people involved with the conviction of Alan Hall for murdering Arthur Easton in 1985.
>> Poolice first response– BLAME someone ELSE for your criminality
————————-
The case was highly controversial, with initial descriptions of the offender being a 6’ (1.83m), powerfully-built, right-handed Māori.
Hall was a 5ft7 (1.70m), slightly-built, asthmatic, left-handed Pākehā.
..ah yeah, bit of a DIFFERENCE
——————————
The police investigation also included hypnotising witnesses, and staging unscientific re-creations.
Hall’s family fought ceaselessly to free Alan, with his mother, Shirley, using part of the proceeds from
………………selling the family home to pay legal bills…………….
But
-the Ministry of Justice,
-Crown Law, and
-police
repeatedly rejected Hall’s appeals and evidence that clearly showed grave errors had been made in the case.

Not just the crooked cops – who use point and shoot— point out some one then build a BS case
The Judiciary know it is bullshit
and they go along with it
People on the jury can’t ask ANY questions and have to often listen to mind stupefying crap
I think the majority on here still think Mark Lundy is guilty.
Quite frankly most understand about SOCS
wasters killing some other cunts kid
But Lundy after no criminal activity in 40 years of his life allegedly killed his own 7 year old daughter.
Bit of a stretch
Being a lousy business man is not a crime
And the cops there used the same crap (the only thing in their arsenal) to stitch him up
They made up and impossible story – then as usual the poolice perjured themselves.
That is OK with the dudges of the ao tear zooland judiciary
In a retrial when it was shown as crap the cops made up a completely different story – happened after 1 am next day; not 5pm of the alleged day .
All the crap about the wife and daughter being in bed at 7 am just went into the ether
as usual the media filth jumped in and painted a picture of a bad man.
It was all crap and part of the horrific injustice system in ao tear zooland
and nothing will change
I’m uncertain whether Lundy’s conviction is sound & although I agree that being a lousy businessman isn’t a crime putting on an act like this
should be a hanging offence. 🙂
I agree with nasska.

British Steel to axe thousands of jobs despite £600m taxpayer handout
British Steel is preparing to shut its blast furnaces in Scunthorpe by Christmas, putting 2,500 jobs at risk.
It is understood the Chinese-owned company is in talks with the Government over plans to cut imports of the coking coal needed for its steel blast furnaces in October, almost two years earlier than initially planned.

Meanwhile in India,
Tata Steel is claimed to be exploring the possibility of utilizing nuclear energy to produce green steel.
According to sources within the atomic energy industry, the company is assessing the feasibility of deploying around 200 Bharat Small Reactors (BSRs), each with a capacity of 220 MW, totalling approximately 45 GW.
Recently, R. B. Grover, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, informed local media that the 220-MW PHWRs are being upgraded, with the modified versions to be known as BSRs. The government plans to license this technology to the private sector.
