‘An Australian academic is concerned about descriptions of Islamic State as a death cult:
Professor Michele Grossman, a cultural diversity researcher from Victoria University, said it was dangerous to use a term that only reflected one small part of the reality of Islamic State.
“It’s too easy to overlook the elements of the IS narrative that focus on building a new world and a new order, promising action, power and engagement,” she said. “This holds enormous potential appeal, especially for the young.”…’

‘Police roading chief throws weight behind calls to reduce speed limit on rural roads, after a “horror” weekend in which 10 people died in crashes.

The default 100kmh speed limit on most of New Zealand’s rural roading network was too high, Assistant Commissioner Dave Cliff told Radio New Zealand.
..”There are many roads around New Zealand that are simply not designed for 100kmh… if you look at some of those winding country roads where you just can’t safely travel at 100kmh there’s a real potential by getting those speed limits down.”….’

Bullshit. Uninformed, stupid, knee-jerk bullshit.
The problem is with ill-trained and incompetent drivers. Period. Whatever the posted speed limit, a competent driver will drive at that limit or below it where necessary.
Driving in NZ is frustrating enough as it is, with a lot of brainwashed clowns out there who refuse to exceed 95 kmh even when overtaking on an overtaking lane, or who speed up when they get to an overtaking lane even when they’ve been holding up a long line of traffic. But the police never seem to target those lame assholes. Much, much easier to simply blame speed.

‘Australian police have urged parents to keep a closer eye on their children and monitor social media activity, after foiling yet another alleged teenage terror plot.’
All parents, not just muslim parents.
Because any sensible person knows it’s also the sons and daughters of white European immigrants who are bombing and beheading and mutilating Westerners, right?

‘At What Point Does The USAF’s War Against The A-10 Become Sabotage?’

On April 30, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam (R) signed Senate Bill 1110—a bill which bars state cooperation with federal gun control laws.

Sponsored by Senator Richard Briggs (R-Dist. 7), SB 1110 “prohibits the use of any public funds, personnel, or property to enforce any federal law or regulation that regulates the ownership, use, or possession of firearms, ammunition, or firearms accessories.”

SB 1110 passed the house by a margin of 74 to 20 and the senate by a margin of 24 to 1.

What is there left to say? A perfect example of a leftard, in all her intolerant, stupid, evil and utterly representative glory.
