The New Way Forward Act
AOC and 43 other Democrats want taxpayers to pay to bring convicted criminal deported aliens back into the USA – the right to come home. Criminal aliens would have more rights in the USA than citizens who just get to pay.
So a lot like Labour that want indoctrinated school kids & convicts to vote just solidifying their vile voting base
Will the PTPM be on a plane this morning to visit the devastated people of the southern floods? Will she inspect and help them out like she did when the PI Islands needed her? Or does she have a another kindergarten to visit?
Emotions run high as Mataura residents return to flood-ravaged homes
The last of three towns evacuated during the Southland floods has reopened, ending days of uncertainty for residents.

A packet of biscuits and a hug should fix it. I don’t see O’Connors 100k going too far. May be enough to replace someone’s porch.
Generous bastards. Yet it seems they have no problem pulling 45 million out of the hat for some illegal squatters.
“This unlocks extra funding of $100,000 for the Rural Support Trusts to help speed up the recovery of farming businesses, including pastoral support and specialist technical advice.
Southland is hardcore Farming country (And mainly National voters)
Labour utterly detest Farmers. (And National voters)
They will get no sympathy from this current Government.
If it was South Aucklanders forced out of their homes, make no doubt Jacinda would be down there with her army of photographers pulling sad faces and cuddling everyone…

Phil Goff’s emails hacked – 15,000 emails over 12 years offered for sale
Among the emails provided were two dealing with campaign financing. One began with the line: “Team all emails should be on personal addresses or those that cannot be subject to an official information request”.
Now we just need some one to hack Jacinda’s….
You can bet your boots there are plenty there frm the comrade and fail.
ooohhh..Juicy! You can bet your bottom dollar these will get out. Shit if I had a spare 20K lying around Id grab ’em. Imagine whats in there! You could realese them gradually from now until the election showing the voters just what the labour pond scum are about.

Southland flooding: Farmers suffering, loss expected to be more than $10 million
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/rural/2020/02/southland-flooding-farmers-suffering-loss-expected-to-be-more-than-10-million.html
$100,00.00 that O’Connor is throwing around is chump change when you consider the damage.
It’s a great pity the farmers are in the South Island.
Chris Lynch Newstalk ZB host in Christchurch has repeatedly requested that Ardern come on his show to discuss local issues.
Apparently her Press secretary has declined stating that this will not happen unless there is another Moslem incident.
Straight from the horses mouth and regularly repeated by Chris.
Is this the same secretary that was on TV scowling at Media up in the islands for reporting news not complimentary about Cindy. She threatened that access to Cindy would be restricted. This of course was later denied.
Communism 101.
Fuck us Southlanders eh 2 x 100K from mayoral funds + the usual promises, the mad queen thought handing out sausages to a bunch of ungrateful Maori pricks was way more important than the suffering of her fellow Kiwis
The Mad Queen utterly hates you Southlanders mate!
I have absolutely no doubt she would go full ‘Mad Queen’ and torch you all with Dragons if she could…

Amen; they are from a time of epic music. Can you imagine though, fifty years from now the kids of today will be saying the same about the disconcordant cattish cacophony they call music.

Harvard chemistry department head charged with lying about China ties
Charles Lieber, who the U.S says is also affiliated with Wuhan University of Technology in China, was charged Tuesday in federal court in Boston. Prosecutors said he received more than $1.5 million to establish a lab and do research at Wuhan University, and that he was paid hundreds of thousands more over several years.
“This is not an accident or a coincidence,” U.S. Atty. Andrew E. Lelling said at a news conference in Boston. “This is a small sample of China’s ongoing campaign to siphon off American know-how and technology for China’s gain.”
Prosecutors said Lieber lied to Defense Department investigators about his involvement with Wuhan University and the “Thousand Talents Plan,” a Chinese government program to recruit overseas researchers. His deceit caused Harvard to make false statements to the National Institutes of Health about his work with China, because grants that Harvard received required disclosure of ties with foreign governments, the U.S. said.

President Trump said today he had been speaking with President Xi and the USA and China are working together to solve the coronavirus. I hope they are successful.
Harvard Leads U.S. Colleges That Received $1 Billion From China
“China is a threat to the world in a sense, because they’re building a military faster than anybody and, frankly, they’re using U.S. money,” Trump told reporters at a press conference in September as he discussed global trade with Australia’s prime minister.
Last week’s arrest came as the U.S. combats what it says is intellectual property theft and corporate espionage orchestrated by Beijing. Trump administration policies have already slowed the Chinese student influx.
Still, the number of Chinese students at U.S. colleges has almost tripled over a decade. China accounts for one-third of the 1.1 million foreign students, according to data from 2018-19 compiled by the Institute of International Education. Schools have been looking to global sources to fill seats and find cash in the face of government cuts.
Just as the U.S. government has expressed concern about Chinese intelligence and influence in universities, so have officials in the U.K. Oxford University stopped accepting research funding or philanthropy from Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co. last year.

Look out Maggy….Hiking is apparently racist.
In a New York Times article, Japanese-American writer Glenn Nelson argued that remote, natural locations present people of color with questions of basic safety: “There was always nervous banter as we cruised through small rural towns on our way to a park. And there were jokes about finding a ‘Whites Only’ sign at the entrance to our destination or the perils of being lynched or attacked while collecting firewood after the sun went down. Our cultural history taught us what to expect.” In the article, he reported results of a 2011 park service survey that found nonwhites were more than three times as likely as whites to say that the parks were not safe to visit.
Thankfully, many outdoors organizations have begun owning up to these realities. The National Park Service recently created an Office of Relevancy, Diversity, and Inclusion. The Sierra Club recently elected its first African-American president and hired its first director of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In NZ, I encountered very few folks of colour tramping during the 1970s-2000s.
Contrast with S.Korea, where every man, woman baby, granny, grandad is scaling near vertical granite mountains every day in summer…. sometimes I was the only white woman on the track. (there was a major push in the 1970s-1980s for S.Koreans to undertake exercise in the mountains when travel out of S.Korea was near impossible)
I’ve only been in a couple of Forest parks in Taiwan…One around Taipei seemed to be fairly well used by locals and large monkeys, I didn’t meet anyone in one at Kenting (near the Southern tip).
I can’t recall meeting anyone on some of the forest/scrub tracks around Hong Kong either….
Awful for the woman but does Immigration NZ believe she is the only one? How many thousand women does this happen to every year in China???
Chinese mother who was given forced abortion granted refugee status in New Zealand
A Chinese mother who was given a forced abortion after falling pregnant with her third child has been granted refugee status in New Zealand.

We don’t fall pregnant, what ever does that actually mean?
In a little over a month’s time the March 15 terrorist killings will be commemorated (if that’s the right word)? Cindy will be in Christchurch with her hijab with full on frowny face and tilted head dishing out the hugz and feelz. I wouldn’t put it past her that baby Neve will tag along wearing a hijab as well. This is election year and CYNICAL CINDY will play this out for the cameras and press for all it’s worth.She has proven (Waitangi) that she will use Neve at every opportunity. The Sheeple just love it and lap it up.
Fuck, I need a 10 gallon drum to puke into!
There are rumours that Ardern and Labour were fuming at the lack of attention their failed Waitangi Day publicity stunt gained. *In case you missed it they took photos of Baby Neve playing in boxes and released press to the effect of ‘Baby Neve cleans up while Mum feeds the masses’….
Clearly trying to suggest that Neve is some kind of ‘Greta Thunberg’ type eco-warrior.
It was sad and pathetic.
And it failed dismally (As few Media outlets even picked it up)

Labour’s Kris Faafoi won’t stand for Mana seat, run only as list candidate in 2020 election

“I got a plan Bro….”
which COL pardy will be gifted the vacant seat then?
But is he happy?
How low down the list will he be shoved?
Imagine giving up a safe seat to exist by the tender mercies of Hugzilla.
He’ll regret this move for the rest of his short political life.
They all can’t go on a safe list seat!
It gets worse Sooty! He’s male, heterosexual & vaguely competent all qualities that Labour hate with a passion.
I don’t know whether Labour are sufficiently deluded to have a #40 spot on the list but that’s about where he’ll be.
Yes but he is an islander which is only equals half a maori!
But as he was born in NZ, and is not of Cook Is/Tongan//Samoan descent, he really hasn’t got the right creds.
Many, many years ago we used to carry hay over the Rimutakas to Upper Hutt for various pony clubs. By the time we’d unloaded we had thirsts you could photograph. The only watering hole you could easily park a couple of truck & trailer units out the back was the Quins Post.
It was an eye opener for a country boy. The immense public bar had unposted areas for various ethnics. Samoans around the pool tables then a two leaner gap to the Samoans, then the Pakeha, Maori, Raros & Tokes next to the bar.
Apartheid at its finest. 🙂

Stress Management Technique.
This is unbelievable and will make you smile. In case you are having a
rough day, here’s a stress management technique that has been
recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny thing is that it
really does work and will make you smile:
1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out
over a crystal clear stream.
2. Picture yourself with both your hands in the cool running water.
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the World.
6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a
cascade of serenity.
7. The water is so clear you can make out the face of the Greens
Voter you are holding underwater.
See, it worked.
You’re smiling
You feel better already.
Have a great day!! 😎
That’s a good one!
At 12.42 WG cited the news article about a Chinese mother who was given a forced abortion being granted refugee status in New Zealand. In a country such as ours where a woman’s right to control her fertility is ever under attack from the zombies of the Vatican, state ordered abortion as a population control measure is unbelievable.
It does, however, underline the power the CCP holds over its citizens. How then do we have medical authorities stating without challenge that X number of Chinese have coronavirus or Y have died as a result.
Their trust in the CCP is touching but their opinions & advice based on CCP propaganda are worthless.
The US imports 97% of antibiotics from China. Those supply lines are shutting down. What happens now? Christian explores medical shortages experienced BEFORE coronavirus, and asks: Are we about to witness a collapse of US healthcare?

……”The US imports 97% of antibiotics from China.”……
It is times like this that one has an urge to grab the nearest fan of globalism & shake them until they start falling apart.
Yes I read years ago, that China makes most of the world’s ascorbic acid. Which is what they make Vitamin C tablets from.
And most of our generic anti-biotics come from that lovely clean country India.

Chinese scientists apply to patent a US-made Ebola drug to fight coronavirus after it eased symptoms in the American patient zero
The state-run Wuhan Institute of Virology says it filed the patient for remdesivir, developed by California-based Gilead Sciences, on January 21.
Originally developed as a treatment for Ebola, the medication has been shown to fight against coronaviruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which is a cousin of the new virus.
