If hell exists I hope it has a special circle for the spiritually prideful ones who think the Iran war is a gateway to Christ's return.
Spoiler lesson - God exits, it ain't you.

Remember when the United States prosecuted, convicted and executed Axis war criminals for doing this kind of shit to concentration camp internees and prisoners of war? It wasn't that long ago...

Just remembering how Luxon bought a new Tesla EV when there was a Clean Car Discount, then cancelled the policy so others couldn't do it, and is now canning the Clean Car Standards and adding a new tax to petrol.

What a guy.

Noting happily that double agent Luxon will continue his recruiting work for the left until the steering wheel is plucked from his cold, cold hands.

Taking a limo to make a grand entrance should have been the finish of him with serious media on day one.Nothing has ever screamed "WANKER" so clearly, so pompously and so incurably.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Looking ahead, add an oil shock, inflation surge and an economy already staggering and its goodnight nurse for the Coalition.As a bonus the Trump hugging will bite them badly on the bum too!

The Centre-Left bloc could form a Government, but with the finest possible margin according to the latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll.

This poll shows Labour gain 0.3 points to 34.4 percent, while National drops 2.9 points to 28.4 percent.

The Greens gain 0.2 points to 10.5 percent, while New Zealand First drops 0.8 points to 9.7 percent. ACT gains 0.8 points to 7.5 percent, while Te Pāti Māori gains 0.3 points to 3.2 percent.

Those green shoots must have been gangrene.Worth noting as an oil shock looms and inflation guns its engines New Zealand is heading into a slump made massively worse by Coalition policy.

Inside National's well funded bunker some poor sod has been assigned the taxing task of somehow pinning the coming oil shock on Jacinda/Labour.

Maybe the Trump adulation from current Coalition members is because they wish they had the guts and gall to be like him?
Horrid thought of the day.

Given it's Long Covid Awareness month, it would be great to add that each infection and reinfection increases your risk of long term effects.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!
