Good to see that Rachel Membury is back, she said she was in hospital.
Hope you are all OK now
Now we just need to find Tallman
Tall Man has been here recently I’m sure and yes it’s good to see Rachael back.
I may be wrong but I thought after him and the parrot had a flap, he packed his tent.
I do hope he comes back!
Who would down tick that?
Tallman has not been here for two days since the flap with kea, but of course it may be nothing.
And I have not seen my mate DonTheKiwi for a week or so.
Don’t panic Diggy – I’m lurking at the moment – busy building a fence for my son at The Mount. Like McArthur, I’ll be back 😉
I think Tall Mans outbursts may have been a breach of his Parole conditions – leading to a recall.
I hope he gets the help he needs 😆
“I hope he gets the help he needs”
Good grief… the stephieboy-esque irony overload…
I hope you boys are using condoms.
Yes hope you good Rachael.
I am a tough old bird but I have to say that the whooping cough jab I got today for the sake of my new grandchild hurts a lot lol. Makes everything else not hurt so much ;).
At least the new bub will be safe when visiting. Congrats on the new leaf of the family tree.
Did you see the photo of Ardern at the music awards last night.
All dolled up with her eyebrows etc.
But wow she looks really skinny.
Bet she loved being called out on having not visited Ihumatao like a good Woke Princess should.
But Cindy is going to Ihumamato, she said she is. What a balls up that was and what has happened, fizzled to a wet squib. Pania who?
Can you imagine how insane those nutbars are if they think that Cindy isn’t Marxist enough? Another soyboy filled with self-loathing and racism for himself
Tom Scott the musician – never heard of him.
I have heard of Tom Scott the cartoonist – Muldoon didn’t like him and banned him from press conferences as I recall.
Muldoon was correct.
Tom Scott was a dickhead.
An early onset Stephen Colbert!
My flatmate lent me an autobiography by Scott.
I got to 7 pages. It was puerile drivel.
John Clarke had humour and deep understanding of things to create that humour.
Tom Scott had a humour bypass.
Where was she for Armistice Day?
https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g29701193/royal-family-remembrance-sunday-2019-photos/
Meanwhile the 95 year old Queen Elizabeth was present at the Remembrance Day commemorations in London where her son Prince Charles laid a wreath at the cenotaph. Lovely photos of the Princess Katherine and QEII
Went back for a looky. A lot of them didn’t scrub up well did they!
She looks absolutely dreadful, she’s positively skeletal. Which of course highlights another of the left’s lies – that a middle-aged woman can have a baby and do justice to the most demanding job in the country. She can’t and her fragile form proves it – another one of those pesky facts getting in the way of the narrative.
I guess there’s only one way that you can keep going when you are failing on every front and surrounded by stupids – and the problem with lawnmowering is that it emaciates you.
That’s after been protected by all of the toadies, the duck, overseas holidays in the sun and shopping trips, one day a week in kindy.
Was loverboy at the awards ?
Him being gagged by Cindys minders must be working. Have not heard prattling lately.
Idiocracy – it was a documentary, not satire
I can’t quite put my finger on why, but as I’m typing this I can’t get Chloe Swarbrick out of my head…..
Research shows that as time goes by, people are getting measurably stupider. The science is settled on this. Since the end of WW2 it seems humanity has been sliding backwards along the evolutionary scale.
This explains so much of the lunacy that we’re seeing in the world around us. Obviously critical thinking suffers when one’s IQ is lower, and of course gullibility increases the more stupid you are. Similarly, stubbornness is a well known trait of the ignorant, along with blind faith.
No wonder the millennials are so insecure about anyone that’s older than they are, they must have been tipped off that as part of the species they’re starting to be sub-human intellectually speaking. No wonder Mike Judge’s 2008 satirical masterpiece “Idiocracy” is about the only film from the 2000s that isn’t repeated over and over and over again on legacy media stations – too close to the truth!?
So Chloe, your generation is significantly stupider than those Boomers you are always complaining about. You are dumb girl, science says so and only a nazi would argue against science eh?
Farmers ‘out of line’ at Parliament protest – Willie Jackson
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/11/farmers-out-of-line-at-parliament-protest-willie-jackson.html
Don’t interrupt your foe when they are digging. Willie, just keep digging that hole so the whole COL falls in and can’t get out. 👍
OMG if a centre right group protests they are out of line according Jackson/
Where were Jackson’s comments on the protesters on that bit of land owned by Fletchers –you know Jackson, the protesters breaking the law of trespass ? What about the climate protesters stopping people going to work.
That is what “out of line” is Jackson.
Shane joined the delicate wee petal class? Maybe Trevor can come to his defence?
Willie’s a dick.
Family of Peter Ellis, at centre of one of NZ’s most controversial cases, carries on fight for innocence after his death
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/family-peter-ellis-centre-one-nzs-most-controversial-cases-carries-fight-innocence-after-his-death?auto=6103682860001
Good. Peter Ellis, as well all know, was stitched up.
I just read on another blog that Ardern did not get huge cheers when she was introduced at the music awards.
Any links?
When I looked the video had been disabled. The PTPM’s media cleanup crew had deleted all unfavourable video. Surprise! Is that what Cindy meant when she determined social media needs to be censored?! 🤥 😜
I read that she did not get a good reception!
How bad would that be?
That place would be like home ground advantage.
I guess having moved closer to Eden Park she will understand what it is like to be out of favour with fans – like the Blues !

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy holds a press conference amid the first week of public impeachment hearings. 20 mins
What does he say?
Whose side is he on?
Choose to listen or not Diggy but since it is you… He is a Republican and calls Schiff a liar. 🤥 🤥 🤥 🤥
OK, then I’ll try to watch it!
FFS diggy, the idea of posting a link to a video is for you to go and look at it, THEN make your comments.
FFS Ed, Personally I like the poster of a video link to make a comment on it.
I always do.
Anyway if I watched every video link I saw, I would not get anything done. I spend too much time on here as it is.
And as regards American politics its very hard to keep up with all the different names and roles
I will try harder next time. 😝
Thats OK, just send me some cake. (don’t tell your husband)
I see the Israelis and Palestinians have decided to stop lobbing explosives at each other for a bit.
This conflict will drag on until the people support leaders who are not religious nut jobs and who don’t use religion for political gain.
The Palestinians have legitimate concerns, but lobbing rockets at innocent Israelis, who had no part in it, is not the way to address them.
Hamas is a bigger threat to Palestinians than the IDF.
Kea, I hope we don’t get too religious on this topic, but it always amazed me that when the Palestinians got booted out by the Israels, none of their fellow Arab states offered to accept them in a big way.
I agree. Same deal with the “refugee crisis”. A point not lost on me.
No practical help for ordinary people. Just preaching of hate and war.
The reason the other arab states won’t take in Palestinians is simple. They know from long experience that the Palestinians are trouble makers WHEREVER they go.
I’ve just put our christmas cake in the oven. It’ll be ready at 2.20pm when I will paint it with brandy and wrap it up and leave it for 6 weeks if I can keep hubby away from it for that long. Anyone interested in an easy and delicious recipe I use the “Australian Womens Weekly boiled fruit cake recipe”. (with a few improvements). I make it over 2 days as the boiled fruit, etc needs to cold before adding the flour and eggs.
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎄
Any links?
Don’t forget to keep a slice for all the YSB members!
You could always hide it WG. Maybe in his underwear draw, but not in yours!
Do you think hubby never opens his underwear drawer? 😂 As long as I keep the cake out of sight he will forget it is here. 👍
Nasska made a special batch of dope cookies in the shape of a crucifix.
NZ First-linked forestry company pushed for Government funds
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/nz-first-linked-forestry-company-pushed-government-funds
“”A powerful New Zealand First figure helped establish a forestry company that then pushed for money from two key funding streams controlled by a New Zealand First Minister.”
Sounds very cosy.
A bit like brown paper bags and trouser pockets!
The most corupt government NZ has ever seen!

That is frightening, its a very horrible and incurable disease.

Another third world import problem for us?
And maybe due to more kiwis traveling oversea.
Nz is going to help Samoa with the measles.
So we should, we gave it to them!
Where is all the help coming from? I thought we had a shortage of vaccines last week. They can always find enough for the non whites.
We’re sending nurses, fridges & 3,000 doses of MMR vaccines (the stuff we were short of a couple of months ago!
‘The economy needs low-paying jobs’ – The AM Show’s Mark Richardson

‘Super gross and ignorant’: Is this Cartel-themed Kiwi burger menu offensive?
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/lifestyle/2019/11/super-gross-and-ignorant-is-this-cartel-themed-kiwi-burger-menu-offensive.html
So many serious issues when you are holding power but the Greens manage to find an irrelevant and frivolous issue to virtue signal:
Greens want to replace Parliament’s bells with birdsong
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/11/greens-want-to-replace-parliament-s-bells-with-birdsong.html
“I think most MPs are a little bit like me – they hear the bells, you get that sense of stress because you’ve got to race to the chamber.”
The bells ring out whenever MPs are required in the House, and can often be heard in the background of TV interviews done on Parliament’s bridge.”
A difference in timbre timing & tone? that can get on one’s wick.
Like contrasting a NZ phone, which sounds more urgent.
The USA phone system, is slower pace, and makes the caller take time, and everything is not in a rush. to pick up.
Yet Act’s Seymour still ignored the urgent ringing, or was he out of ear shot, to make his nae vote in time on the first Fire Arms Act.
The Greens will just end up being tweetering nonsense.
Bottom line, it is a part of your work!

Our groceries are already about the highest priced in the world and now Countdown are putting up their wages by $ an hour!
Better to drop their prices! so we all have more money.
That’s not a very caring attitude to have of your fellow workers.
It’s called spreading the love and money around. The more the lower paid people get, the more they spend.
There is method in Coundown’s madness.
Someone still has to pay for the increase unless Countdown are going to eat into their profits so the increase will be passed onto their customers. The truck drivers delivering the goods to their stores will be getting paid more so there again the customers will be paying for it, and the cleaners will be getting a pay rise so the good old customer will be paying more at the till…
Yes they will spend it paknsave lol.
I have not been to a Countdown for years but how are they any better than a Pack n Save when you have to pack your own items – for a 20% premium charge over P+S?
A contributing factor was the slowness at the check out.
Shop Pack n Save or New World – NZ owned.
I did have my skepticism about what was supposedly happening with the Honey Bees, and then insect extinctions, but they had effectively sowed the seed of doubt, which is used to trigger a so called truthiness.
If your goal is to cause a certain product to fall into disfavor, for example, first perform or sponsor experiments to get the desired, but inaccurate, results, using shoddy methodology and, if necessary, drawing conclusions not supported by the data.
It doesn’t matter if the research paper is rejected by legitimate, peer-reviewed journals, because you can then submit to a predatory journal that will publish it regardless of its scientific validity (in return for a large fee).
Then, organize a big media and social media blitz touting the “research,” being sure to include scary pictures or figures, and get friendly journalists and your Twitter echo-chamber to trumpet the conclusions.
With some expertise in search engine optimization, the internet becomes your indispensable ally, helping junk science sway public opinion, and even public policy.
We’re seeing that in public concerns about various chemicals and modern genetic engineering applied to agriculture, for example.
That gets us to the supposed scourge of the bee world — the class of pesticides called neonicotinoids (“neonics,” for short).
Nicotine is a potent natural insecticide used in organic agriculture, and synthetic neonics replaced far more harmful organophosphate insecticides three decades ago.
The most widely used pesticides in much of the world, neonics are highly regarded by farmers for their safety and efficacy.
The Pseudo-Scientific Method was mobilized to create the “bee-pocalypse” narrative about honeybees over the past six years.
An early, memorable landmark was the Time magazine cover story of Aug. 19, 2013, “A World Without Bees?”
https://issuesinsights.com/2019/10/28/apocalypse-not-how-science-is-distorted-to-serve-the-activist-agenda/
The worst thing is the time and cost to combat such mania.
It never seems to destroy the credibility of such people, who simple rinse off, move on. and cause problems elsewhere.
This type of factoid truthiness, is used to frame debates and discussions to gain power in local governments and easily swallow up by the Parliamentarians.
Yet continents and countries have banned neonics.
Was there really tests done? or just the idea of being nice, to the birds & bees, and trees.
But great credibility being National Geographic. 🙁
Insect apocalypse?
according to the PLOS One study.

Rapid onset gender dysphoria controversy

Good to know, the honey bee disappearance myth, probably leveraged by EXtinction REbellion organisers, just shows how these controlling power seeking authoritarians scare, basically acting as terrorists, try to break society, as Lenin, and Mao did.
I doubt that the honey bee has much to fear about its future. The bees are invaluable for pollination in orchards & kiwifruit blocks. They pay beekeepers to put hives on their land (up to $25/week each from what I’ve heard) & part of the contracts limit the sprays that can be used.
Such is the demand that truckloads of hives are transported around the country even spanning distances such as the Wairarapa to the Far North.
Kiwifruit pollination is very hard on the bees, not their first choice, neither is manuka. They starve
They’re too valuable to be allowed to starve Rachael. If they’re not getting enough tucker from the target plant then they’ll get supplementary feeding.
I’ve no experience with anything to do with kiwifruit but the bees I’ve seen on kanuka & manuka out on the Wairarapa hill country seem to do okay during flowering. They have to be moved off straight away afterwards because there’s no alternative flowering plants in the area.
Agreed but they are slave labour.
Vegans in Australia outraged over Bunnings’ fundraising sausage sizzle for fire victims
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/11/vegans-in-australia-outraged-over-bunnings-fundraising-sausage-sizzle-for-fire-victims.html
Oh really? Why don’t vegans just piss off.
Or go piss on the fires. I wonder if many are fire fighters?
The state’s Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons hinted his men were more likely to be lovers than fighters when they returned home.
A fire chief has cleverly rebutted a domestic violence campaigner’s claim firefighters often bashed their wives and girlfriends after battling blazes.
New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons (pictured) hinted his men were more likely to be lovers than fighters when they returned home
‘When it comes to firefighters and their families, I can’t tell you how many seem to have a new addition to the family with the birth, arrival, of little ones some nine months after some of the biggest disasters we face,’ he told Sydney radio 2GB broadcaster Steve Price on Thursday.
‘I’ve got some pretty good evidence from it.’

The lard arse epidemic continues. Life is just too good.
One of the problems with our society is that there is no longer any shame
Have you noticed that there are more hippos these days, and fewer lions and gazelles? One of the problems with our society, today, is that there is no longer any shame. I see it every day and everywhere, such as going through the lunch line behind morbidly obese Americans, and watching in disgust as 300 or 400 pounds of fat orders a double nachos with extra hamburger, sopaipillas, and an extra large Coke. As a libertarian thinker, I ask myself, why should I care? The answer is that I care because, in our increasingly entitled socialist nation, I am probably paying for that over-consumer’s health insurance and healthcare
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-11-14/one-problems-our-society-there-no-longer-any-shame
Why do hideous fat she beasts always have tattoos, piercings, pink/blue hair?
Signs of ultra low self esteem. That and being as thick as pig sh1t.
Wait until their joints start giving out. Hospitals will have to be set up to do hip & knee transplants on an assembly line basis.
They are. Most fatties are always sick.
It should be legal and encouraged to discriminate against fatties. They should live brutal lives of terror and shame.
The real problem is the attack on our senses.
They should be fined. Its obscene.
Their skin stretches to it’s limits, perforates and ulcerates.
0.16 percent of the population have legitimate medical excuses for being overweight but none have an excuse to be morbidly obese,
They are pigs.
They scream from their keyboards “What about the starving Biafrans?”
while eating enough food to feed a family for a week, in one day.
Disgusting.
Have you noticed how over weight obese people always have ugly blotchy skin.
I try to give them an evil look.
It really is disgusting
And eye pollution.

I may have missed a bit but I am surprised there has not been much in media about the Zero Carbon Bill. I detest it’s existence but the MSM have been wall to wall climate change garbage for a long time but I have not seen much beyond the first day or so since it past.
I just wonder why.
Climate change is not garbage. What is garbage is what the likes of XR and Saint Greta are spouting about it. Watch this about the way the climate is changing and be worried:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYDe-pcp2rI
I was referring to the AGW theory as garbage Alice. Of course climate changes and has done for thousands of years and will continue in the future.
Piers Corbyn, taking it to the Reichstag Parliament.
Just some snippets from the video..
“Climate policy does not control climate. It controls you, the public, to tax you and to make you and do what you are told.”
“A court case in Canada has shown this (Mann’s hockey stick graph) is a fraud”. . “So that means iconic symbols that your are relying on to form your policy count for nothing”.
“What is CO2 doing or not?”
He brings up many interesting ways of putting it.
“Scrap all the anti Carbon policies.”
(Challenging them that they) “only want to make money off their people.”
“electric cars are virtual signaling by the very rich and not very intelligent people”.
“UN policies, are actually a distribution of wealth upwards, not downwards”.
Sort of ends up in an entanglement of antisemitism claims, and counter claims. 🙂
https://d.tube/#!/v/vladtepesblog/QmXgWCG8fnd1QTt6rsVax1WbVSjeiJNtSQdXgx76CFXn4V
Also some minor chipping in by the Chairman, and some other Parliamentarians. 🙂
Well Piers has convinced me, much better to be prepared, that is I heading off to cut down another tree, split it up and put into the wood shed.
Then another wood shed to be built and repeat..
A warm house heated by the log fire, helps one to feel like a millionaire. 🙂
Piers has put out a series of 4 videos recently explaining why the AGW theory is nonsense. He is not the best speaker or presenter but the lecturers are easy to follow.
The videos are here:

NB I’m not sure why the numbering of the videos are as they but the order I have posted them is the order of the lectures he gives.
Thanks Ross12
It was the first time I watched Piers, though I have seen many videos through the years, noting the 35 errors of Al Gore,, climate gate, etc… etc..
The problem is how to get the commonsense points into the leading Parliamentarians, and or the voters to kick some of those to touch.
It is the way that he makes the points to those German Parliamentarians.
He seemed to be invited by a supportive Parliamentarian Party guy, into a den of lions, who had to be civil in behaviour, though subtly trying to reprimand him and demean him.
Some of the points were very pointed, and though they ignored him, I believe he supported quite well the guy who had him bought in.
Hopefully many voters may have watched him direct, and bi-passed their media.
If you watch the series let us all know what you think.
Probably later, if & when time to watch, and then catch back..
Some of these things strike people at different levels, or certain snippets, sort of relate well.
Then it seems that many are taught not to think, or to weigh things up, like many of those German Parliamentarians.
Like in the graph that shows the medieval warming, and the past 10 hot points about every 1000 years have been higher.
No relationship to carbon, other than carbon increasing centuries later, following a warming.
Greenland, when inhabited centuries ago, must have had a lot of their glaciers doing total meltdowns and retreat.
Then everything got so dammed cold, the inhabitants abandoned it.
So what is new now, as finally a bit of warming would naturally do this.
The select committee doesn’t want the public to see this submission. Better watch it quick before it is taken down:
https://www.facebook.com/861298457268044/videos/1858547327603879/?type=2&theater
SSANZ have just e mailed out the above link together with the written submission from Aoraki Ammunition and a pdf of the police mail order form authorizing Tarrant to buy over two thousand rounds of ammunition for his SKS and AR15 rifles.
Looks like the pigs have had it deleted.
Still there. Holy shit.
So it is. The filth will be outraged.
The written submission has been removed from the government website. I will send the pdf to our illustrious editor in case he feels like using it.
Oops! They took a long time before they realised it wasn’t a good idea to be broadcasting.
Good catch Alice.
Ok so Tarrant had no family no job and no foothold in the country and was still issued with a firearms licence and ammo weeks after arriving here.
Who had the money and the authority?
Follow the money…..
Tarrant was issued with a 10 year gun license weeks after arriving in NZ. Aussie isn’t exactly on the other side of the world for our police to contact the cops of his home town to ask if he was on their radar.
And what would they find?
A decent guy who traveled widely and got on with people all over the world. No criminal history.
From memory the Aussie reporter said Tarrant was from a small town so the cops knew the family who had lived in the area for generations. All I’m suggesting is a background character check before issuing a 10 year license to an unknown with dubious references.
But he did travel to some strange places andshould have been questioned on his travels. A look at his passport would have should have been the lest!
Pauline Hanson on with Andrew Bolt. What a woman! If only we had a couple like her in our Parliament instead of the dross no hopers we are saddled with:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1qHsDNmHFM
Great stuff that.
I applaud her for getting the enquiry into Family Law under way.
The comments after the video are great.
Such an unfair world.
When a man talks dirty to a woman it’s considered sexual harassment. When a woman talks dirty to a man it’s $5.50/min (higher rates from mobiles).
I see the busy bodies are whining that people are drinking even more after years of them demanding we stop and increased prices, liquor bans etc.
When will they learn ?
It’s them semi automatic drinks, that get you!
They should ban them and only have single shots!
I blame the government.
With this cock-up of a government it is no wonder everyone is drinking more. 🍷😊
They never stop having a go at things do they.
Cigarettes, booze, sugar.
I don’t believe their figures, I think more people are drinking less.
When will these “experts” fuck off and leave us alone.
