Ice

 The headline: 

Antarctic expedition collects evidence that ice sheet melted during previous warm period

23 Million years.

It's going to be fucking hard to blame that on the SUVs. 

Bottom

 Maybe this Government isn't as bad as many make out.

Evidence: Today's headline

 Cabinet removes te reo Māori name of school lunches scheme

 That is today's (daily) anti-Government headline and "report".

Suggests to me they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. 

NOTE: No children were unfed due to the production of this comment.

God defend New Zealand! 

Sunny Side Down.

 They just won't do it.

Even the supposedly right-leaning media will not ask it.

Why not? 

The question: How are Sunny Kaushal and his mates supposed to increase retail crime now the  Ministerial Advisory Group (The Retail Crime Group) has been disbanded?

Think of it: All those thieves and fraudsters waiting patiently for the FTA to kick in so they can flood New Zealand to follow their calling and now there will be no Govt. Agency to advise them how best to do it.

The disgrace; The shame! 

This is almost as racist as the Treaty of Waitangi before the fraudsters corrected it. 

Unemployment Rising

 Six years (2017-2023) of racist communism where the Government message was "Don't work, don't improve yourself, don't even get off the couch".

Now the unemployable (those no sensible employer wants and those who cost more to employ than they earn) rate is high and rising.

Could there be a relationship between those facts? 

Hot? Nah!

 The headline: 

Heat alert issued as North Island east coast swelters above 30C, Akl sweats in 93% humidity

Admittedly I'm not in Pig Island but Paradise. Its 32.6C in the shade outside my back door.

I got sunburned yesterday so am only venturing in the sun to do chores - rather than sit in the sun and read as usual but 32.6 is no more than a nice warm day.

I notice, by the headline, that Jafaville is down in humidity also. Can they not handle no-rain conditions?

And how is the above NEWS? 

Freeloaders

 The headline: 

United Nations on the verge of 'imminent financial collapse'

The UN is finding out that the one guarantee in life is that communists and racist freeloaders only operate on someone else's dime.

Getting them to accept lower amounts of graft, let alone to actually pay their way, always proves impossible.

The UN collapsing under its own incompetence and corruption will be great for the planet. 

I look forward to an American (USA, + various South American countries) and Chinese led world where ambition and industry is rewarded instead of punished. 

Cops

 The headline: 

One in four Kiwis don’t trust cops

I'm guessing the "Kiwis" they refer to are New Zealanders, most of the birds are too shy to be interviewed or fill in questionnaires.

As always I am in the minority.

After 25 years of relative peace and quiet I endured another 25 years of regularly dealing with NZ Police personnel - my business, not theirs, most of the time.

I can not group the people I dealt with under one umbrella: The older men who had risen through the ranks were always impressive, always engendered respect and, largely, were damned good men to chat with.

Likewise those involved with fire-arms: Always impressive in their professionalism but never in any way threatening. Likewise, while not NZ Police, the Ocker cops in Christchurch after the big shake were never anything other than brilliant at a very hard time for Cantabrians.

Unfortunately there it stops.

I didn't meet every Christchurch based cop, not even the majority of them but the front-line police people I came into contact with were often (not always) lazy, ill-disciplined bully-boys with no ability to think, let alone act, without orders and I never, over 25 years, met a sheila cop who wasn't utter scum, disgracing the uniform at every opportunity.

Strangely the unsworn Police people I met, male and female, were all bloody good people.

3 out of 4, given those observations, is almost a win.
