Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I back him as well... he's our best chance to make this a one term govt.

His unpopularity and ineptness are the Opposition's best asset.

In South of Lebanon, in terms of city of Nabatiyeh, Israel bombed the school and commercial street, destroying businesses and shops, an indication of how it is careless about international laws, a brutal immoral entity and army and a total lack of military objectives.

Israel is blind and can't see the resistance so it pours its anger on civilian targets.

160 school girls in Iran had to be blown to pieces to distract Americans from the Epstein Files and the allegations of Trump being a pedophile rapist.

That's where we are today: wars of distraction to protect a pedophile cabal.

Somertjing none of the commentators have mentioned - even in passing - is that the com,ing TVNZ-Verian poll is usually more sympathetic toward the imncumbent (National).

It'll probably have the Nats in low 30s, more or less equal to Labour.

If not; if the next TVNZ-Verian poll has Nats on...(1)

Stuff unscientific poll;

"Who should be New Zealand’s next prime minister?"

The result is not good for Luxon. And not good for the Left: we need him to stay on to assure us of victory.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

Noem handpicked contractors to lead a $100 million ICE recruitment campaign, sources say The DHS secretary decided the contracts instead of allowing a competitive bidding process, according to three administration officials and internal communications reviewed by NBC News.

Noem or her successor could just do what our Russian cuzzies do; scour the prisons for volunteers to fill the ranks. Seems to work for them...kinda.

DEFINITELY needs to stay on. If the Nats choose a new leader who is better at comms, it may sway some/many of the gullible electorate. Bishop and/or Stanford are way better at relating to the public

I *WANT* him to stay on.

If he's replaced,the Nats might find a better communicator able to pull the wool over voters's eyes.

He is our best Secret Weapon.

Anyways,I'm sure he loves kittens & puppies.🐢🐱

Our New Iran Correspondent | The New York Times Company

This is the kind of journalist an editor yearns for at a time like this: A Persian-fluent reporter w/ deep experience covering Iranian politics and policies.

She used to work at the Washpost.

Then Bezos dismantled the international coverage.

Now she’s at the NYT

Of course they did.

Amazingly,under the Trump regime, they have become the Bad Guys in the world - surpassing Vladimir Putin.

That takes some doing.

This is on Donald Trump. He is the world's worst terrorist. (Sorry, Vladimir. Try harder.)(Actually, don't. Trump is enough.)

Next time there is a mass terrorist attack on US soil, 9/11-style, I suspect most of the world will shrug their shoulders.We've run out of f***s to give for that country.

Our American cuzzies got mightily annoyed when the Japanese launched their surprise attack on Pearl Harbour on 7 Dec 1941.

It was a day that will live in infamy they said.

Not like the surprise attack on Iran,no siree.They is the ✌️Baddies✌️.We is the ✌️Goodies✌️.

Surely history will see it that way?
