Being screwed-over by bureaucrats and insurance companies..The Christchurch rebuild is riddled with incompetence and graft.
and
Scapegoat, and pandering to BLM thugs. People have had a gutsful.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

“..The real reason the pope is wrong is thanks, as I say, to his radical left-wing school of religious thought, known as “liberation theology.” Liberation theology is Marxism with a crucifix. It views capitalism, self-interest, and other pragmatic values as inherently un-Christian…”
http://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2016/02/19/sorry-papa-but-daddy-trump-is-the-one-defending-catholics-from-invaders/
The Catholic church is simply another arm of the state, utterly dependant on it’s tax exempt status and thoroughly enamoured with the hundreds of special privileges it’s leaders amass that lawfully separate them from the peasants they preside over.
So has it been since the first charity bowl was passed around the first organised assembly of Christians. So will it ever be until no church enjoys any rights not afforded to the common man.
On the cop shooting, we see now the situations that arise from creating an ungovernable welfare class. Officers are faced with ‘damned if you do, dead if you don’t’ choices. My advice to them is ‘there’s nothing worth protecting in those slums, so leave them and don’t look back’.
But for a sworn police officer, leaving them is not really an option, is it? He would be out of a job.
When I said “leave” I meant the officer should pack his family up and move to a place where civilised people live.
There is nothing “unfortunate” about this situation. This kind of outcome is entirely predictable and utterly avoidable. The problem is that many good cops get off on the idea that they are some sort of long-suffering martyrs. Then, sometimes they end up being martyred all at once instead of in small chunks, and they wonder “what the hell happened?”
“When I said “leave” I meant the officer should pack his family up and move to a place where civilised people live.”
Aaah……in that case, damn right!
Quite a few do just that,one we have in town was on the NOPD for six years and got his fill of the corruption and hopelessness the job offered.So he packed up and left for greener pastures.
Big city cops are either crooked as a dog’s hind leg or wilfully ignorant/accepting of said corruption.
I have very little sympathy for any of them.

Brilliant! Thank you for that. IMHO blues at it’s best by some of the best.
And yes, the thrill has gone. RIP.

‘Turning the Tables on the Poacher: A Fourth Generation Warfare Vignette by Bill Buppert
http://zerogov.com/?p=4675
I said it over at the WRSA, and again, I hate to be that guy… but.
’30 Man militia team executes complex plan with custom vehicles and rocket launchers and snipers and mortars to the sound of pumping rock music’ is obviously necessary when you’re selling a book, but in reality it would read:
’30 Man militia team with multiple moles is rounded up several hours before it executes complex plan with custom vehicles and rocket launchers and snipers and mortars.
And for what. 22 dead cops and a media story of a black-site.
Consider instead; 10 rather boring three man teams with no ties to each other each ambush a pair of crooked detectives. They waterboard them for intel and give them a lead pill to help them sleep.
20 Crooked cops dead. Next to zero chance of infiltration. Next to zero logistics trail. Intel gathered. Disperse video confessions through trusted intermediary via dead drop.
Of course the latter is not very inspiring or dynamic.

Full Speed to Disaster
‘…Syria is now a grim monument to a mad Western policy, made not the less insane by the fact that one of its chief architects is running for office to complete president Obama’s third term. What went off in Syria was the bomb of human stupidity, abetted by invincible hubris and accelerated by the unquenchable fire of fanatical dogmatism. The result was ruin…’

Just Because You’re Paranoid Doesn’t Mean …
https://pjmedia.com/richardfernandez/2016/01/27/just-because-youre-paranoid-doesnt-mean/
Good articles, but the writer in my opinion gives far too much credence to the idea that the Obamas and the Merkels of the world are anything other than puppets for powerbrokers.
Talking about “Obama failing to do this or that” is missing the point. He’s doing exactly what he’s told to. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Not to be picky, but….regardless, he’s failing to do it.
If under instruction is a separate question for the purpose of the article, since Fernandez is talking about the effects of the inaction.
Why wouldn’t the inaction be part of his orders?
No reason at all.
I’ve managed to confuse myself. I’m calling a tactical retreat.
I never expected that from you, Bo!
“the bomb of human stupidity,”
There’s a lot of that about, especially from Hillary – Libya, Syria, etc. How anyone with the smallest glimmer of intelligence could ever think that she could govern a nation is beyond me. I doubt that she is even going to be able to keep her cell clean.
SHOCK: Obama eats dead baby soup to increase his political powers!

Didn’t we always know?
‘Pope Francis today called for a worldwide ban on the death penalty, saying the commandment “You shall not kill” was just as valid for the guilty as for the innocent.’
I do believe the correct translation of that commandment is “thou shalt not murder”
Which is another thing entirely.
Says the pontiff with his own private army carrying…what? Nerf guns?
The left kills outside of the law. The right kills within it. Hence the left hates the death penalty. In it’s absence the worst of their thugs can murder with impunity and wait for pardons when the left steps into power over the corpse of the right.
“I do believe the correct translation of that commandment is “thou shalt not murder”
Yep,it was mis-translated,either by accident or design.
Sack the stupid cow:

That tells me that both are on separate pages,that both aren’t communicating and that we are solidly back on a pre-9/11 footing.
Bach Brandenburg Concerto #4

I love this stuff! It sounds very different played using the original instruments, doesn’t it?
Yes indeed,Bach was a master composer modern instruments don’t do his work justice IMO.

“The most intresting read of the day. I sure hope that a few Black people help’ed build this computer, or we will hear about a lack of diversity in this deal.” LOL
Herald headline:
‘NZ may be in Cyclone Winston’s path’
Every time there’s a cyclone in the Pacific we get this bullshit. All NZ ever gets is some heavy rain and (maybe) some good-sized ocean swells.
Is this some kinda meteorological penis envy?
‘Hitler ‘had tiny deformed penis’ – historian ‘
Well, at least he had one, which is more than can be said for most leftists.
NZ Herald headline (yet again):
US tourist dies beside husband
A woman died beside her critically hurt husband in a head-on crash in rural Waikato.’
If twenty people are killed and one is a female, The NZ Herald would run the headline “woman killed”. And if she happened to be pregnant, the dead men wouldn’t even get a mention.
The widdle girls posing as “journalists” need a boot up the backside.
Boy today is my lucky day.I ordered some more 5.56 3ord mags the other day, or so I thought.Opened the box this afternoon and realised they were 5.45 mags so now I have to find some 5.56 followers.
Then,a,real kick in the teeth.The property owner at the local range I frequent sold part of the property and as of next month the 600 and 1,000 yard ranges will be gone
