Hana Maipi-Clark and co. Loud-mouthed scum. She and the other dross get far too much airtime. I’m sick to death of seeing/hearing about them. All eyes should be on the thief Tamihere: nothing less than a full audit for starters. He is as cunning as a shithouse rat, and so is his boyfriend W.Jackson. Audit the fk out of them. Shine the light. They stink to high heaven.

The media are leftwing and cover for them. They say the most racist shit and they get a free pass. If any right wing politician should be a dickhead when younger or go out to dinner me and say “don’t you know who I am” they are hounded out of politics or never let up about it.

Tamaki steps in poo again

“Police have seized Brian Tamaki’s firearms and revoked his firearms licence after comments in which the Destiny Church leader called for a “purge” of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims and floated burning mosques and temples “tit for tat.”
Tamaki livestreamed police at his Auckland home going through his gun safe, saying his licence had been cancelled and his hunting rifles were being taken.
The police action followed comments Tamaki made while criticising Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian government, and alleged violence against  Christians in India. 
ChristianityTamaki said: “Let’s purge New Zealand of Hindus, Sikhkhs, and Muslims.”
He then added: “And while we’re at it, if they’re burning churches down, why don’t we burn mosques and their temples down, tit for tat.”

Why are churches so flammable? Something must be done.
2023 – 47 churches burned down.
2024 – 94 churches burned down.
2025 – no data.
2026 – 10 already burned down in January alone.

That one above should feel the guilt of her obese white privilege with the waspish warnings via rainbow colour hair.

In this article the “white guilt” reasons, overflows, like it as been over-worked through with the university training that has created the biblical stanzas of ‘Critical Theories’.

https://rmx.news/article/my-bloodline-ends-with-me-german-feminist-activist-calls-for-white-people-to-stop-having-children-and-accept-refugees/

Among the “Critical Theories” this in various ways will also be drank in like the ‘Kool-Aid’ at a ‘Jim Jones’ party.
NZ’s version so far, is of “super-diverse” cities as espoused by Massey University professor, Spoonley.

I think she is an escapee from Pablo Escobar’s private zoo at his Hacienda Nápoles estate. She probably moved illegally to the States when the Colombiam wild life service announced a cull of the hippos which were breeding out of control in the Magdalena River and surrounding wetlands near Medellin.

So much of Europe, particularly France & Germany is smouldering, that one can not be surprised when things may kick off, and here is an English incident.

“As the incident was dealt with, an officer was punched,” the force said.
“One man was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer.”

In a subsequent statement, the force said it had reviewed the incident and found “no concerns” about the officer’s conduct.
Police added that they did not want the footage to be shared further while legal proceedings were ongoing.
https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/video-shows-white-teen-arrested-after-attack-as-black-men-walk-away/

So it seems the police charge the young white fellow?

Some interesting comments

The police statement:—
https://nitter.net/BrumPolice/status/2072658292921315560
A comment of 21 secs vid. counters the police statement.

Comes to mind “I do not think you have been stabbed, mate.”

” I do not think you have been punched to the ground, mate; put your hands behind your back, so we can cuff you”

The knocking off the police woman’s hat, sort of reminds me of the turban of the Sikh’s supposedly being knocked then the hair supposedly being pulled.

The smouldering in Germany.
How helpful an NGO is in helping the shooter in Germany is coming to light.

The man who shot six people in a youth care facility in Stade had an NGO employee drive him to the scene of the crime —-
– and the woman also helped him escape.
https://jungefreiheit.de/politik/deutschland/2026/stade-migrations-aktivistin-fuhr-den-fluchtwagen/

This seems to be a later report with more info as can be told from an American platform.

….. German taxpayers are funding an NGO class that appears more committed to protecting migrant claims, family reunification channels and anti-discrimination narratives than to protecting German citizens, …..

…. “ideological blindness” describes far more than one person.
It describes an entire German system that refuses to see the cost of mass immigration because seeing it would discredit the ruling class that imposed it. ….

…… liberal-left NGO complex become one of the great power centers of modern Germany.
It does not win elections, but it receives public money, shapes public language, trains bureaucracies, pressures institutions and helps criminalize dissent from the migration consensus. ….
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/germany-mass-migration-ngo-worker-allegedly-drove-stade/

That “ideological blindness” has been customized to be accepted in NZ, also with tax-payer’s money.

How in the world the police could have the audacity to defend that cop’s (and many of the others’), actions is beyond me.

He wasn’t being aggressive to anyone, let alone police, so charging at him in the first instance is not reasonable force. Then, failing to make even an attempt to catch up to and identify members of the other party – which one might think could be a prerequisite for the establishment of any potential guilt in an offence.

Then, whinging like a little bitch when the poor guy, who’s just been set upon by a pack of niggers, swings at her thinking he’s still under attack from them. And, worst of all IMO, very clearly demonstrating that she didn’t have her emotions under control and had lost any semblance of professionalism, by swearing at and belittling him.

One commentator made the suggestion that the police stations need to be burnt down with the coppers in them. I make no comment.

It’s probably Britain: A speaker at CPAC Great Britain said yesterday Dominik will again been prevented from entering Britain to attend CPAC.

Dominik Tarczyński, a Polish politician, was banned from entering the UK in May 2026 after his Electronic Travel Authorisation was cancelled by the British Home Office, which stated his presence was “not considered conducive to the public good.” He had intended to attend and speak at a rally organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson in London, not the CPAC conference itself. 

The CPAC Great Britain event is scheduled to take place in London from July 16 to 18, 2026, having been announced by former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss during the US conference in March 2026. 
While Tarczyński was barred from the UK for the Tommy Robinson rally, the search context does not explicitly state whether he was specifically attempting to attend the July CPAC conference or if the ban extends to that specific event.

Which are the biggest propagandaist sources?

A source close to President Nawrocki said the US “systematically informs Poland about ever-new Russian plans for a conventional attack on NATO’s eastern flank, from which Poland is by no means excluded”.

A second source, an ambassador from a NATO country, confirmed that a Russian provocation against one of the Baltic states or Poland is a serious risk. The same was said by an anonymous source at Poland’s Ministry of Defence.

A fourth source, a person from Baltic security circles, confirmed to The Telegraph that such plans are being discussed in Moscow. Another scenario under consideration is portraying the provocation as having “actually been carried out by Ukraine”.
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/07/03/8042232/#:~:

Poland’s prime minister has said the country is preparing for “various” scenarios and that the coming months could be “critical” concerning the threat from Russia.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj0gp88q4l4o

So many sources, so many twists in the explainations.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/poland-ukraine-war-russia-false-flag-operation-nato-attack-radek-sikorski/

A while back Ukraine was putting fleets of drones to safely fly over the Baltic states before entering the Baltic sea with little to almost no distance to bomb Saint Petersburg.

Of course Germany’s committment has been sealed by the Nord Sea gas-line bombing, so the people would not agitate for keeping warm & the industries continuing with Russian gas. Little to No or ambigous explanations.

A part of is who can clip the ticket the most in following the money flows?
Who can leverage who.
And the timely meeting for a NATO summit, as the need for NATO needs to be justified, plus retaining USA military bases.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t soften it on camera: the fight inside the Democrat Party isn’t a policy disagreement anymore, it’s a hostile takeover, and party leadership knows it.
“𝘏𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘑𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺.” Leavitt said.

The math backs up the fear. Chuck Schumer is reportedly worried about his own leadership position — because in a New York primary against a DSA-aligned socialist in the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mold, he’d get 𝐰𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭, and he’s supposed to be running the party.
This is the same week America turned 𝟐𝟓𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐥𝐝. Leavitt’s framing was blunt: it’s 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦, and there’s only one party still picking common sense.

Sean Ackland Author  Lloyd Burr named Stuff’s new Head of News.

And for those of you who have been following the Lloyd Burr and Maiki Sherman saga, it’s obvious why.

Because last year, Lloyd Burr and Maiki Sherman reportedly had a drunken exchange at a post-Budget drinks event hosted by Nicola Willis.

An exchange where only half the story has been confirmed.

The half that has been confirmed is that Maiki Sherman referred to Lloyd Burr using a homophobic slur.

There are still two questions that have yet to be answered about this exchange, an exchange to which there were witnesses.

The first

is the context in which Maiki Sherman used that word.

Many people have said that Maiki Sherman asked Lloyd Burr how he would like it if somebody called him that expletive. Not outright calling him the expletive

The second

Was whether this was in response to Lloyd Burr calling Maiki Sherman a derogatory term meaning a promiscuous Māori woman.

Admittedly, this is speculation on my part,

but I find it very hard to believe that those witnesses would not have reported the full context of the exchange to Ani O’Brien

Whose reporting of the exchange ultimately led to Maiki Sherman losing her job.

Now given that context

A reasonable person would conclude that two people in a professional setting behaved badly during a drunken exchange.

It’s not the first time something like this has happened, and it’s very unlikely to be the last.

However, it was only the Māori woman who lost not only her job, but effectively her entire career because of the way this exchange was reported.

While the man who may or may not have used the initial slur has just received a promotion as Head of News at Stuff.

So forgive me, Lloyd Burr, if I’m going to withhold my congratulations on your new appointment until you provide us – the public that you have a responsibility of upholding standards of journalistic transparency to- the full extent of that exchange
.

If we’re going to hold journalists accountable for misconduct in a professional setting,

Then those standards should be applied consistently.

If Maiki Sherman deserved to lose her job for using a homophobic slur, then the same principle should apply to Lloyd Burr if he used a racial slur.

Personally, It sounds like nothing more than a drunken exchange between two colleagues should not end eithers career.

Until then, this story does not sit right with me.

Yesterday, Heather du Plessis-Allan laughed on air at the idea of Michael Laws running for New Zealand First.
“He’s bad news.”
“He’s fringe.”
“NZ First have made a mistake.”
By today, the laughter had stopped.
Once the interview began, Laws handled Heather with the confidence and political experience of someone who has spent decades in the trenches. Her smug dismissiveness quickly gave way to predictable establishment talking points — and Laws dismantled them with ease.
When Heather claimed his “baggage” would stop people voting for him, Laws fired back:
“Then explain why I’m the top polling councillor in Otago. And you have baggage too — we all do. It proves you’ve lived life.”
When she suggested he would be bad for Parliament because he pushes boundaries, Laws delivered the line of the interview:
“You’ve got to be joking. I’m not going to Wellington to eat my lunch. If you want to maintain the status quo, you may as well be a public servant.”
That line explains exactly why the political and media establishment are nervous.
Laws isn’t some fringe agitator. He has been a government policy adviser, MP, mayor, councillor across multiple councils, historian, university lecturer, award-winning columnist, and talkback host across four radio stations. Whether you agree with him or not, that is a formidable résumé.
By contrast, much of mainstream media has become a safe, commercialised echo chamber — more interested in protecting the system than challenging it. This is the same media class that repeatedly warned voters before the last election that Winston Peters and NZ First would destabilise government and prevent reform, when many voters saw them as one of the few genuine checks on ideological excess.
Heather’s real discomfort isn’t Laws’ so-called baggage. It’s what he represents.
He is combative, anti-establishment, unapologetic, and willing to say what many media figures won’t. That makes him dangerous — not to ordinary voters, but to a political and media class deeply invested in preserving the status quo.
And if Michael Laws’ performances on The Platform are any indication of what he’ll be like in Parliament, then buckle up.
It will be political theatre at its most brutal.
Watching Laws tear into opponents is like watching a shootout at the O.K. Corral — relentless, sharp, and utterly unforgiving.
For that reason alone, NZ First gets my two ticks.
Not just because of policy, but because of the damage Laws could inflict on the increasingly dominant woke, neo-Marxist ideology embedded across politics, media, and public institutions.
Love him or hate him, one thing is certain: Michael Laws will not go to Wellington to play nice, protect egos, or preserve the status quo.
He’ll go there to challenge it, expose it, and shake it to its core.
Laws vs Chris Hipkins, Chlöe Swarbrick, or any dysfunctional member of Te Pāti Māori?
I’d pay to watch that

…..”TOP’s 1.75% annual LVT would deliver a serious cash burden, squeeze margins, and ultimately raise prices for consumers.”…..

As such it is going to be inflationary. If an enterprise faces new costs, be they wages, rates, fuel or whatever, they have two choices. go out of business or raise their prices.

They will naturally opt for the latter so we’ll see an extra 1.75% baked into inflation. The hoi polloi will be faced with reduced income, (the UBI being below subsistence level) plus rising prices for basics & no options for extra income with the huge increase in unemployment occasioned by the accompanying recession.

Just how TOP supporters see passed this beats me.

So why did God create women?
To advise men.
Really!
That’s why God created women last, because he didn’t want advice while creating the world

Somehow I belive someone failed English. What NZ1st is doing is not “surging”.

Its picking up a few disgruntled Nat voters. Now that is a good thing, at least disgruntled Nat voters have a place to cast their vote, But, the right cannabilising the Right doesn’t help much over all.

HEALTHY OCEANS; No fishing

ABUNDANT ENERGY: When the sun shines

BREAKTHROUGH ECONOMY: We are the government & we’re here to help.

CITIZEN’S VOICE: Another layer of crap to insulate MPs from the people.

TAX RESET; Squeeze the “rich”

CLEANUP POLITICS; No lobbying

THE TREATY: Give it all to the Maori

EDUCATION; Whatever the Teachers’ unions want.

LAND: No farming.

HEALTH; More money for fat feminist nurses & advanced nagging.

CLIMATE; Accept the guilt & pay the UN what they want.

INFRASTRUCTURE: Safe water & more bicycles

CRIME: No prisons. No punishment.

“TAX RESET; Squeeze the rich. Don’t worry about the rich they’ll bugger off, more like tax the old people. Maybe they could reintroduce work houses for the elderly.

“factual”
By the facts you will know the truth & difference to the narrative.

Diplomats agree, Truth can be Hate Speechhttps://rumble.com/v2xw0q8-diplomats-agree-truth-can-be-hate-speech.html
19 minutes : circa 2023 : RairFoundation

More recently consider that Judiciary courts will also figure that is Truth can be Hate Speech.

28 May 2026 ….. Truth is now criminal hate speech if used to “incite hatred,” according to a Belgian court. 
The ruling came in the case of anti-migration activist Dries Van Langenhove, who said in a post on X that, “it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge’s frustration.” …..

That stand has cost a fortune in legal fees.

https://nitter.net/DVanLangenhove/status/2059275296050741666?s=20
Many good comments on ^”who said in a post on X that”^

Understand why & how they systemically want to apply the narrative as per the Rumble link.

Then intention of killing the truth, kills even the ones who were supposedly advantaged.

Then is it self sacrificing useful idiots?
Blind useful idiots?
Suicidal Empathy?

It is cool but I would opine that it is very much inspite of Wayne rather than because of him.
