Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

Labour's Future Fund appears distinct from NZ First's one in many ways. The main one is that Labour is seeding this with NZ money and NZ state assets. Returns are ring fenced and returned back for NZ investment - with a view to long term prosperity, infrastructure, innovation & wealth #nzpol

One day a journo is gonna ask why it’s acceptable to raise taxes on EVERYONE except the top 1-2%. Not today tho. Probably not tomorrow either. But one day. I have hope.
Someone is going to have to pay to keep the country's finances in order, says Treasury, and since it obviously can't be landlords or tobacco companies or the wealthy, we're afraid it's going to have to be you.

One out of every three people in Gaza has been murdered for the simple crime of where they were born and what their religion is.

I am so happy for Charlie Kirk. We should all be so lucky as to die for something we believe in. He dedicated hours, day, months of his life to saying that the cost of believing in the second amendment was that people were murdered by firearms.
How amazing for him that he got to make that sacrifice.

Total cost of abandoned iRex is $671m (incl land-based costs, project mgmt, wind down)

It's likely the FSU candidates get into the board of INZ. However the AGM votes have prevented the reactionary attempt to undermine the constitution and structure of the organisation. Next year, we do this again.

You denial & diminution of this speaks to your cheap political motives, rather than any worldly analysis.
