"a politician complaining about the media press he gets is a bit like a farmer complaining about the weather"
Prime Minister Luxon says this constantly but it is not correct. Farmers cannot of course influence the weather, but politicians can indeed influence the media.
They do it by bribing them. As we saw most starkly when Jacinda Ardern was the Prime Minister.
Although we all hope such events are no longer happening, they are. Taxpayer money is still being fed to media by various means and this undoubtedly reflects on their political reporting.
The one big question overshadowing this election is not being asked. That is "How much taxpayer money has Labour agreed (behind the scenes) to give to media if they are elected?"
The answer to this question could also explain why media are not (as the PM suggests) subjecting amorphous Labour policy to any real scrutiny.
A real leader might ask this important question, even at the risk of irritating media.
Voters should know if bribery by Labour or any other source is influencing (and thereby perverting) the election.
The Iranian President says that the decision of war and peace is not in the hands of the government, but rather in the hands of the Revolutionary Guard. Shocker not shocked.
This Christian refugee in McKinney, TX’s speech to the City Council urging them to not allow a 5 acre Islamic center has gone viral: “I am a Sharia law survivor from Iran.” Courageous.
@NJBeisner I’d wouldn’t be ashamed at all to be on that list! You shouldn’t even need to think about this. Defending a widow and her two small babies? Before adding the weight of every other detail that makes it so terribly tragic.
Tucker Carlson, “Dick Cheney [who died on Monday] raised a really repulsive daughter... if I had a daughter like Liz Cheney—I don’t believe in suicide—but I would consider it.”
Meghan Kelly, laughing, “Oh wow.”
There is no way back to these people. Evil and crass.
@Saul_Sadka “I’ve gotta bunch of daughters” said Carlson.
He never ever actually comes right out and tells his audience how many children he has. Has anyone done a wellness check on his wife lately?

Socialists under Stalin killed 20,000,000 people.
Under Mao 65,000,000
The National Socialist Party was **Socialist**
All told, socialists are responsible for 100,000,000+ deaths in the last century.
Think about that.
They will gladly take 100 million more if given the chance.
Because they think they are justified.
Socialism is the worst ideology ever conceived by man.
It is a form of religious extremism where the god is envy and worship is cruelty, justified by greed.
It has never "worked" and never will.
When idiots like Hassan Piker espouse socialism, they should be humiliated ruthlessly and potentially criminally charged.
Same with university professors.
Never give it a single inch.

Mississippi voters need to get engaged. Habitual low election turnout results in most incumbents staying place. They feel invulnerable and take actions they know their constituents won’t approve of. We have the power to stop the Islamization of our state.
🚨 ALERT MISSISSIPPI 🚨
This is Assma A. Ali standing with Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch - who is currently running for governor.
Assma is the full-hijab-wearing Yemeni-American immigration attorney who was just appointed a municipal court judge in your deep-red state.
Here is what RAIR has documented:
• She built her career guiding illegal entrants and visa overstayers onto citizenship paths
• She successfully extracted an official “Arab American Heritage Month” proclamation from Republican Governor Tate Reeves
• She sat behind and publicly defended radical Amer Ghalib - the former Hamtramck mayor whose record of praising Saddam Hussein as a “martyr,” liking Jew-hatred comments, and Muslim Brotherhood admiration destroyed his U.S. ambassador nomination
• She publicly cheered radical DSA Islamic operative Zohran Mamdani
• Radical activist Debbie Almontaser (forced out of a New York school for defending “Intifada NYC” T-shirts, close to Linda Sarsour and Ilhan Omar) celebrated her as “the first Yemeni American Muslim hijabi woman to become a judge in this country”
• DSA radical Jamaal Bowman also joined the congratulations
• Her own posts announcing the judgeship (while saying she would continue practicing immigration law) and the supporting tributes have been scrubbed since RAIR exposed her
Her law firm logo features prominent crossed scimitars. This is shockingly similar to the Brotherhood’s logo.
A woman with this network and this record is now on the municipal bench in Mississippi -?and posing for photos with the state’s Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate.
We have additional troubling associations coming. VERY concerning!
Stay tuned.
Red states are the last line of defense. Start acting like it.
