  1. While Donald Trump was demonized in the mainstream media for locker room talk … the abuse of women that the mainstream media ignored over many years, just as they ignored Weinstein’s sexual abuse, because they were corporate establishment figures…is finally coming out because some Democrats are finally speaking out:

    ‘ “They Went After The Women Who Came Forward” – Former Obama HHS Secretary Exposes The Clintons’

    …”Amazingly, at the same time, mainstream media talking heads have either specifically ignored the numerous allegations against Bill Clinton or actually claimed that his accusers are discredited and cannot be believed. (Keep in mind all other accusers are automatically assumed to be telling the truth.)

    With that being said, it was only a matter of time before that dam broke as well and now, with a series of explosive comments by an Obama and Clinton ally, one can hope that Bill Clinton may finally be brought to justice with Hillary forever shamed for her role in attacking the women who came forward.

    In an interview conducted on a CNN podcast by former Obama chief adviser David Axelrod, former Obama Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius opened up about the cover-up and subsequent attacks on the women who accused then President Clinton in the 1990’s…

  2. Some major news today:

    I ask, do we have a government?

    I read they have got some media professionals join their communications team, but they do not seem to be on the job yet.

    With such news as reported on RNZ and TVNZ today, about top issues and major concerns, one would expect someone in government make some comments.

    We hear nothing, bloody nothing, this is completely hopeless.

    When Jacinda raises Manus Island with Turnbull in Australia, and tries to get some movement on them accepting that some of the refugees may go to NZ, and Papua New Guinea police now clearing the old camp with brute force, then this deserves some critical remarks by the PM.

    When one thirty year old training institute, offering hope and opportunities for Pasifika people, is forced to close due the the funding cuts the Nats made, then this is another scandal, that the government needs to step in on.

    And a Waikato DHB boss ripping off the taxpayer, and getting away with it, while operations are being denied to cancer sufferers and so, then this deserves urgent attention, Minister Clark.

    I am gobsmacked at the lack of leadership on this kind of stuff, have they decided to go away for the weekend, and do not wish to be disturbed?

  3. Saw Justice League again with some folks who haven’t seen it yet today. There was an elderly married couple sitting in the row in front of us, they were about late sixties or so. But when [spoiler redacted] pops up in the film for the first time they both gasped very loudly and the husband looks over at his wife and practically yelled “I didn’t know [spoiler redacted] was in this, did you?!”, and she’s just nodding her head no frantically.

    And that’s the end of the story. I guess the marketing did it’s job?

    [Sorry, Sam, some people may not have seen the movie yet so I’ve redacted the character to avoid spoilers. My son worked it out from a clue he spotted before the movie was released, very observant young lad that he is. – Scarletmod]

    • He must be a very clever boy. I’m playing Battlefront 2 right now and it fills in a lot of what happened between the movies the Jedi Returns and the Force Awakens. That’s got a lot of nuggets in it too. Also the name of the publisher that produces Star Wars books will provide other nuggets.

      As for Warner Bros execs. Well that’s just them trying to deny they have pornhub subscriptions. I mean pornhub amongst other high volume Internet traffic sites is how execs discover what’s trending now a days. Nothing to do with telling a good story.
