Never dine with anyone, Bambu. Fewer people will get sick that way.

The whites everywhere are a bigger terror risk.

You say.

Stand by for more terror attacks by Muslims from Iran on Britain and EU countries.
They've done it before.

Nathan Sales said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph that Iran has carried out a slew of assassination plots in Europe in recent years and could do so again.

Panic buying of guns ahead of ban

There has been a rush on gun shops, with people "panic buying", in the wake of the Christchurch terror attack and in anticipation of the Government tightening gun laws.

Following the Christchurch shooting, which killed 49 people on Friday, the Prime Minister promised to tighten gun laws.
Following Jacinda Ardern's comments on Saturday morning, gun shop owners - at bricks and mortar stores, and online - experienced a jump in sales.

The Christchurch branch of Gun City was busy on Saturday, with people buying guns and equipment.

Firearms owners posted online about “panic buying”, where people were rushing to stores to purchase firearms, following the prime minister’s comments about plans to tighten gun laws.


#####

Well there you go.
Look at all those 'machine guns'.
People rushing to buy guns before the ban.

Well they might need them for self defence if the Iranian terrorists find it too hard going in Britain and Europe, and come south instead.

Surely NZ PM will not just stop the sale of auto/semi auto weapons, but will ban the sale and possession of them completely...and have a buyback scheme like Australia did...where anyone found to have one after a certain date faced very very serious penalties.

Surely she won't be that silly, just to ban the sale of them from now on.
The ones out there and their ammo will last 'forever'.

You have to ban the guns!

Britain and EU at risk of Iranian terror attacks at home, US counter-terrorism chief warns

Britain and other European nations are at risk from Iranian terror attacks on home soil and must do more to deter the regime, America’s counter-terrorism coordinator has warned.

There are solutions, quite easy solutions really...but the brigades of political correctness, harmony, tolerance, "multiculturalism is great", "everyone in the world is a lovely person"...would be outraged by them.
Looks like the only thing left to do now is stock up on more flowers and candles.

Yep. You never know when Australian terrorists will strike. Aussies must be banned from coming to the U S. immediately.

You can be ‘too masculine’ to rape, says Italian court

There have been protests in Italy after it transpired that two men were cleared of rape charges, partly because the court thought the alleged victim looked “too masculine” to rape. The judges were all women, showing that internalized misogyny is alive and well.


#####

So, the women have been appointed judges...equality.
They made the judgement...yet men get blamed for it...'internalised misogyny'.
Yes, everything is the fault of males.
One good thing though...males will be able to take the kids fishing after school while the women are climbing the corporate ladder.

misogyny...dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.

Yes, so much contempt and prejudice that the women were appointed judges!
LOL

*******

So, Bambi - consider this: what if the scientists (and the kids) are right about the threat posed by climate change?

Ah yes, 'what if'...I like 'what if', one of my favourites.

I assume you mean 'man-made climate change'...because any other kind we can do nothing about.

Yet, you manage to dodge even what you thought I meant.

So predictable.

But no, Bambi, whether man made or mostly natural, as your clueless radio host believes, we still need to respond to it.

Indeed, if it is all natural, then our responses to the circumstances have to be even more immediate and more extreme! It means that figuring out ways to save the hundreds of millions of lives right on the coasts has to happen even sooner.

But not to you - you can't even figure out that its being natural is a bigger problem.

The Southern Poverty Law Center just fired fired Morris Dees, one of its founders.  No reason was given but, regardless, its recent history has been to be the arbiter of hate.

And that definition has been skewed to include anyone who might disagree with political beliefs the SPLC  decides is  orthodox or correct and a frenzied insistence that any such unorthodox person be destroyed—no matter the means or the cost.

Which has made the SPLC rich, to the tune of a half billion dollar endowment.

Without hatred( defined by the SPLC) the SPLC has no money and no Raison d'être
But even by the SPLC’s estimates, there are only a few thousand members of the Klu Klux Klan in the country(.002 of Americans) White nationalists are even fewer.
Yet  when it comes to fundraising it argues 0.002 percent is a dangerous menace to our country.

We can only hope the SPLC which fronts such despicable  and legitimate hate groups as Media Matters and Black Lives Matter, has seen the light by dismissing Dees

The SPLC has  turned into a money hungry politically motivated smear group.

The fact that any organization views it an expert onhate groups is  terrifying.

The Times has also learned that the organization, whose leadership is predominantly white, has been wrestling with complaints of workplace mistreatment of women and people of color. It was not immediately clear whether those issues were connected to the firing of Dees, who is 82.

Also Thursday, employees sent correspondence to management demanding reforms, expressing concerns about the resignation last week of a highly respected black attorney at the organization and criticizing the organization’s work culture.

A letter signed by about two dozen employees — and sent to management and the board of directors before news broke of Dees’ firing — said they were concerned that internal “allegations of mistreatment, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism threaten the moral authority of this organization and our integrity along with it
