Homer is clever and right!
yup, im sure even the low iq homer knows damn well the pentagon will have some doozies hidden away in their books.
Maxine Waters was very keen to gatecrash the audit party at DoE yesterday, so there must be a few bodies in there with their fingers pointing at her. Loved seeing her demand to see ID from the security staff. Not long ago she proclaimed ID was a racist construct – but maybe that only applies to people casting votes for her?
Mr Editor
Sir, I must protest about the image you have placed at the top of this page as the presence within in it of a former NZ Prime Minister completely ruins any peacefulness that my Sunday morning might have had – especially as you gave us no prior warning about it’s presence.
Not nice Sir, not nice at all (Especially not on a Sunday morning).
There was a typo that needs correcting though – it should read, I bought expensive cars & homes & farms & meth.
Don’t forget the boats for the fisherman at each house or farm!
She should go straight to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $28m.
I have to agree. I now need more vomit buckets. I am not easily offended or triggered, but seeing images of her results in blood pressure issues, headaches, and uncontrollable rage. I’ll have to find some calming action, like watching videos of the Taliban being bombed…..
I was thinking about these people and I think it right that we deport them to Russia to spend the rest of their lives in a Siberian gulag under the reign of Lenin.
We could eliminate them, but that doesn’t send a big enough message to those who wish to follow in their footsteps.
hilarious, the irony that you used to label her a despot dictator and now youd like to be one and send her to a gulag.
ysb folk are getting more retarded by the day.
She should never be sent to a gulag SB without a fair trial in front of a jury. Mind you it might be hard to find an unbiased jury in this country as the majority of the population either worship her or hate her with a passion.

do any of you wonder if that wouldn’t happen here if the ethnic minority was to get its way?
Years ago I sailed with a fella who spent some time there and he told me then (25 years ago) that there were white people there that lived in abject poverty, which I must say surprised me.
I have an associate here who I work with a lot who came out of Zimbarwe.
Interestingly that situation is going back to having white farmers again.
Afraid of the Chinese taking over the land.
SA had better watch out for the same reason. the Chinese have been there along time.

It is obvious now that the legacy media lied about the state of Biden (which was plain to the casual observer).
This raises the question of what else the public are being lied about?

Trump has brought back ‘sheltered workshop’ employment for the mentally disabled who enjoy the interaction, meeting their workmates and earning a small wage.
The dems used regulations to shut down this basic independence for those dealt a difficult life.
At some stage I thought there was a version in sorting mail at the Post Office.
As it become known as “Going Postal” with some tragic results in the USA.
In NZ we have the National Government to thank (///) for closing down the IHC’s sheltered workshops in 2010 at the behest of the unions who considered the low wages to be a threat to their members’ pay or conditions.
Was it national or was it Clark? My recollection is that Clark shut down all the workshops here. I stand corrected if not. Maybe it was that other religious tart Shipley and her mate all mouth and trousers from Gore. Ruthenaisia.
V2, you are correct, I was on the Board of one such Sheltered Workshop institution in the BOP at the time. It was Helen Clark who with the repeal of the Disabled Employment Persons Promotions Act 2007, that effectively shut them down. She wanted pay parity with able bodied workers. Unfortunately Nasska is incorrect as Clark was the architect of the demise of Sheltered Workshops and she caused a lot of anxiety in this industry, but National did nothing to repeal that Act or help the disabled in any way. A despicable woman who will never acknowledge what damage she did to these very vulnerable people and how many friendships and relationships she destroyed in this one Act.
……”Unfortunately Nasska is incorrect as Clark was the architect of the demise of Sheltered Workshops”…..
Mea culpa. Although I recalled the debate occasioned by the closures well I relied on a Google search of “when were the ihc sheltered workshops closed” for the date. This led me to https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/criticism-intellectually-disabled-voices-silenced-as-complaint-against-ihc-reopened/2HNOHMFJ7FCHLA2XCXUMUPVEEY/
which stated “In 2010 IHC closed all its workshops taking away the ability for intellectually disabled people to work;” This ignored the fact that the enabling legislation was the ‘Disabled Persons Employment Promotions (DPEP) Act’ of 2007.
I am obviously guilty of accepting something written by the hacks at The Herald as factual & will seek atonement.
A better article is that of Muriel Neuman at https://www.nzcpr.com/test-post-529/ which totally support AH’s version of the facts.
# “However the unions objected to the fact that sheltered workshops had blanket minimum wage exemptions and urged the Labour government to deride them as profit-driven ‘businesses’ operating ‘sweat shops’ to exploit disabled workers. Nothing could have been further from the truth; most of these organisations operated in the not-for-profit sector only able to exist because of the considerable support and goodwill of their local communities.”
The unions were afriad of been shown up for their lack of productivity by the handicaped!
The workshops were shut in 2010 during the first term of the 5th National Government (2008-2011). John Key was PM & the Minister of Labour was Kate Wilkinson.
in not sure what ended up happening down here but the ihc folk used to sort all the recycling for southland then the council gave the contract to another company to save not much money (mightve even cost more, cant remember) and the wokies also thought it was degrading and mean to have disabled work there.
the thing is tho they loved it, it was socializing and they didnt care it was sorting recycling it gave them a sense of purpose and gave their caregivers a break for a few hours a day.
Needs to be done in NZ as well.
According to the all-knowing Facebook its Ed’s birthday today.
Happy Birthday Mr Ed.
Thanks for that😴
Always be younger than you.
Happy Birthday Mr Ed, but, but you will never be as old as me
and nowhere near as grouchy and intolerant as vikey 🙂
happy birthday Ed!!!
what do old farts get from wifey for their birthdays? im guessing starting the day with a BJ and rooty times arent a happening thing unless youve gone back to pfizer!
probs just play cards and moan about the weather instead?
You might get lucky & hold onto your marbles for longer too. 🙂

Did this one come around more quickly than the last one?
I am sure our years are being tampered with.

I figure you do not worry about BC or BCE, unless it is for tenancy in Aaaaooootteeaaaaarroooooaaaa
Happy birthday and wishing you many more to follow.
Golly I hope you have an extraordinary gender neutral birthday with lots of sugar free cake and lashings of diet lemonade.. Best wishes from the entire Campbell whanau, we will all gather together and sing waiatas on this wonderful occasion. We were also thinking of having a whip around at the local wokesters club to buy you a large lump of greenstone you can wear around your neck to prove your Marae cred – very handy for getting a rates discount and cheap beers.
Marvelous.
DOGE found a dozen people receiving Social Security at 150 years old.
The Yanks are amateurs. In NZ tenancy in a state house gets passed down to whanau.
Not as much as it used to.
Now that tenancies & non payment of rates are officially recognized since 1840; 185 years ago.
So easily extended to pensions, that started in 1898 in NZ, which would have included many born much earlier, that became known as “treasures”.
Do Mt Taranaki and the Wanganui river receive the pension? Bet they’re claiming it.
Probably and you will be paying for their Legal Representation as well, much like you do for some Mongrel Mob member who is appealing a long sentence in the Slammer and who needs, no less than a Kings Counsel, to represent him.
But they employ the equivalent of Tuki Morgan to represent them!
It continues.

Communal confession is great at the Priest’s monthly get together.
I saw some X comments from Helen Clarke earlier saying democracy has been broken in the USA over the last month. People around the world will starve and lots of humanitarian aid work will have been wasted. All obviously referring to Trump/Musk’s work exposing USAID.
Firstly comrade Clarke the genuine humanitarian work will continue –that is what the 300 remaining employees are for. Funding for that work will not be cut.
But she should look at this Tucker Carlson interview –it is long, over 2 hours but she can easily get the gist of it by looking at the “section headings” to see that USAID was spending 90-95% of it time, effort and MONEY on things other than humanitarian aid work.
Most of the effort would come under the heading of money laundering.

Just wondering if Helen Clarks faux Husband has received funding at the Auckland University from USAID. Betcha!
Wonder if the helen clarke foundation was funded by them too?
Issues raised by CTH commentators.
The question raised, are Tucker Carlson & Mike Benz “Truth Tellers” or “Truth Managers”?
Are both dancing around on a “head of a pin”, to what questions can be asked and the ones that can not be asked, with just how far can an answer go?
Just how deep & how far does the rabbit warren go?
Like rabbit warren territory, to walk through it is walking on very treacherous ground, that will collapse.
Certainly seems like a variety snakes living in the house foundations feeding on rabbits too.
And an overflow of those snakes into New Zealand too.
At the moment is a “follow the money algorithms” 😀
I see from that Mike Benz interview the overthrown Pakistani regime has installed a Clinton supporter. So all is well Hulun. //
Also noted leaders of countries around the world are not complaining about the USAID ‘catastrophe’ due to the annoyance at being forced to follow directives interfering in their countries social and political decisions.
She should reveal how much “her Foundation’ has received from USAID.
You mean on top of the $40 million they got from Ardern’s Govt or was that USDAID money laundered somehow through the Govt. or maybe it did not go anywhere near the Govt and came direct from USDAID but the MSM spun a bit of BS.
ya have to laugh. Some people get it.

So where is NZFirst, Winston Peters, Shane Jones in bringing on the changes in legislation to stop this Tweety’s tangled web in legislation & Judiciary rulings?
Like holding one’s breath, blue in the face, and the Job is done, but it seems to be gas-lighting us, saying things we want to hear, but do nothing.
Damien Grant …… Perhaps the Authority itself should be reconstituted. Or better, dissolved.

They have seen the examples set by Trump, Doge, and it seems they are all found wanting.
So why did the systemic maorification pursue Janet Dixon so hard?
What is the purpose of the maorification of the real estate industry?
Is it so the iwi & hapu at some later stage, to be able to fix a valuation via Quotable Value NZ?
Many do not realize the ramifications of these Tweety Settlements, like Wanganui Council rolling over for more iwi seats & consultations, as also did Tauranga in accepting more iwi seats too.
Plus the hidden rights over water flow.
Also much influence already grandfathered in by iwi controlling water & sewerage & rubbish systems, that will also affect property values.
Another bag of cement has been poured into the law schools to have part of the rights of Waitangi Tweety, and for conveyancing of property are also necessary in land & house sales.
It will be too late when you find certain Caveats from the Lands & Deeds via Settlements will affect your supposed free hold titles.
In that maorification will certain iwi & hapu have 1st refusal further down the track?
The cement & concrete have been poured around our feet.
Be very interesting to see the result of the referendum coming to us with the local body elections in October. We get the chance to say yes or no to Maori seats at the council table.
If Maori put up good candidates who will actually take the job seriously, they might get elected.
Maori will be gathering “our people” to get their lot in to ride the gravy train.
Will any more than usual take the time to resist by voting in the referendum? Don’t hold your breath.
I saw a post recently on Telegram claiming to list the payouts received by the US Politicians from Ukraine. All the expected suspects Pelosi, Schumer, Warren, Pence, Graham etc. The lowest was 16m from memory. Has anyone seen anything that confirms this? It wouldn’t surprise me but the source looks somewhat dubious.
Fact checkers say it is false, doesn’t seem to have been reported anywhere other than social media.
