The 29 Days of New Zealand

Day 29: Leaving Christchurch (& NZ)

Hmmm, take tram to airport? Nah, it don't go there, & hire car needs returning at the terminal, anyway.
This is Chch's Eat Street - restaurants, takeaways, dessert, & ice cream shops everywhere.
Random pedestrian says "Later, dudes"
An electric tram rumbles slowly through a pedestrian mall flanked by buildings painted alternately blue, beige, and green, with seating in front of them for patrons to eat at the various restaurants in the street. On the left of the shot, a mother lifts up a young child who is waving happily to the people in the tram A man in a red jumper and black pants, wearing a panama hat, stands in front of a wall covered in multicoloured posters, while he adjusts his sunglasses

The Dems are so good at hoaxes they had someone write an email damning Trump in the “Epstein Hoax” all the way back in 2011!!

Why would Trump—who allegedly knew of Epstein’s crimes—“spend hours” at a pedophile’s house with an underage victim?

I think we all know the answer.

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

Donald: "I took– Those are very hard– They're really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests."

They are actually dementia screenings. And you are only asked by a doctor to take one if they notice cognitive decline.
