McDonald's McFuckBomb-talking employee. Customer called, "a little bitch."

Apparently, there is some confusion and disagreement with the McDonald's sign "Open 24 Hours" and the employee's understanding of "Open 24 hours."

Newshub: McF-bomb: McDonald's reacts after Hamilton worker barrels customer with swear words.

A video of a customer being abused by a McDonald's employee in the drive-thru of a Hamilton restaurant has prompted an apology from the company.

In the video, the drive-thru worker at McDonald's Five Cross Roads can be heard saying they were closed, before swearing through the intercom.

Someone in the car then makes the point the restaurant is supposed to be open 24 hours.

The employee goes on to call the customer "a little bitch" after asking him "the f**k you want bitch?"

Trump, Kim cross DMZ. Historic moment.

The Independent: Trump becomes first sitting US president to enter North Korea as he shakes hands with Kim Jong-un.

Donald Trump has become the first sitting US president to set foot in North Korea, stepping over the demilitarised zone to shake hands with Kim Jong-un.
[.]
Mr Trump stunned the world when he walked towards Mr Kim, shook hands and greeted him, and then stepped back across a line marking the North Korean border.
[.]
The two leaders then walked back over into South Korea for a meeting. Originally supposed to be a brief exchange of pleasantries, the encounter turned into private talks stretching to about 50 minutes.

California Gas Tax 6 cents more on Monday, July 1.

Mis queridos californianos, rellenen el domingo antes de que los socialistas tomen más de su dinero.

Uh, sorry, I slipped into BOB O'Rourke campaign mode pandering there. I'll try again: My dear Californians, fill-up on Sunday before the Socialists take more of your money.

The Albuquerque Journal: California gas tax rises another 6 cents a gallon Monday.

California’s nation-leading gas prices are set to climb even higher Monday, when the state gas tax increases another 5.6 cents a gallon.

It’s the latest increase from a 2017 law designed to raise about $5 billion a year for road and mass transit programs.

A 12 cent-per-gallon boost came that November, and voters last year rejected a Republican-led effort to repeal the law. But Southern California voters did recall one Democratic lawmaker who helped pass the measure.

California motorists were paying an average $3.75 per gallon as of late June, far above the national average of $2.71 calculated by AAA .

The gas tax will increase to 47.3 cents a gallon July 1, according to the state Board of Equalization, and continue to increase indefinitely starting next year to keep up with the California Consumer Price Index.

Fret not, for I am sure, the additional tax revenue will be judiciously spent and the returns and impact from this investment will immediately benefit all of the taxpayers and welcomed immigrants in Cali.

Should Jacinda Ardern should run for a second term?

Screen grab.

Hit the link below, watch the full interview: 

Newshub: Poll: Do you think Jacinda Ardern should run for a second term? (Link dead, redone to a slightly different version) 

Appearing on Newshub Nation on Saturday, she said she's "absolutely" committed to leading the Labour Party into the next election.

"You're committing to... running as Labour leader at the next election and hopefully being Prime Minister?" host Simon Shepherd asked her.

"Yes, yes. Absolutely," she replied. "I'm not interested in a job outside of just being the Prime Minister of New Zealand."

If she follows through on her plan to run for a second term, Ardern has a good chance of winning.

No snub at G20! Trudeau's clutching handsake with Bolsonaro.

Trudeau: "I will send you much Bitcoin for this photo-op."

Bolsonaro: "Yes. Yes, you will!"

Apparently, at some point after Bolsonaro snubbed Trudeau's extended handshake, the two found time to clasp hands, with Justin using both hands.

Kimmy accepts Trump's invite for DMZ meeting.

The National: North Korea's Kim Jong Un accepts Donald Trump's invitation for meeting at DMZ:

President Donald Trump will meet on Sunday with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un at the demilitarised zone separating the North and South, a day after he issued an unprecedented invitation and expressed willingness to cross the border for what would be a history-making photo op.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced that Mr Kim accepted Mr Trump’s invitation to meet when the US president visits the heavily fortified site at the Korean border village of Panmunjom.

Mr Moon praised the two leaders for “being so brave” to hold the meeting and said: “I hope President Trump will go down in history as the president who achieves peace on Korean Peninsula.”

The Libs would be drooling like thirsty dogs or teething babies, falling all over themselves, fawning and praising Any DEM president doing what President Donald Trump is doing. Good. I'm glad the president is meeting with Kimmy, if for no other reason than it pisses of The Libs. But this is much more than that. This is a historic moment.

Pregnant mom is London's 64th stabbing fatality this year.

The Guardian: Baby delivered after pregnant woman stabbed to death in London.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman who was about eight months pregnant was stabbed to death on Saturday.

Paramedics delivered the 26-year-old woman’s baby as she was dying, after they found her at a residential address in Croydon, south London.

The child was taken to hospital and the Metropolitan police said it remained in a “critical condition”.

A 37-year-old man was arrested and is being held in custody while officers from of the Met’s Homicide and Serious Crime Command launched an investigation.
[.]
The Met said officers were “keeping an open mind”* as to what might have motivated the attack. The woman’s next of kin have been informed although she has yet to be formally identified.

RT: ‘You can’t win a championship without gays’ – US Women’s World Cup star Megan Rapinoe.

US women’s football star Megan Rapinoe fired her team into the World Cup semifinals with two goals against France on Friday night, before stating that “you can’t win a championship without gay players on your team.”

Fresh from a week in which she was involved in a row with President Donald Trump over her comments that she wouldn’t “go to the f*cking White House” if the US won the World Cup[.]
[.]
“You can’t win a championship without gays on your team – it’s never been done before, ever. That’s science, right there,” the 33-year-old said. 

“I’m motivated by people who like me, who are fighting for the same things. I take more energy from that than from trying to prove anyone wrong. That’s draining on yourself.

“But for me, to be gay and fabulous, during Pride month at the World Cup, is nice,” she added.

Rapinoe’s claims raised some eyebrows online, in particular those of the ever-irascible UK TV personality Piers Morgan.

Did Bolsonaro snub Trudeau at the G20?

Looks like it:

Maybe Jair didn't see the extended hand-shake from Captain Leaf ?

UPDATE: Yep - looks like a snub. Trudeau's reaction is priceless:

Canada: Six-year-old taught "no such thing as boys and girls".

The Christian Institute: Canada: Six-year-old taught "no such thing as boys and girls".

The parents of a six-year-old girl have filed a human rights complaint after her teacher told her “there is no such thing as boys and girls”.

Pamela Buffone said her daughter became increasingly distressed and worried, asking if she could “go to a doctor” and saying she was “not sure if she wanted to be a mommy”.

The family are now asking a tribunal to ensure that classroom discussion does not “devalue, deny or undermine” biological reality.
[.]...the teacher named as ‘JB’ showed the children at Devonshire Community Public School a video promoting radical gender ideology.

The video – ‘He, She and They?!? – Gender: Queer Kid Stuff #2’ – taught that “some people aren’t boys or girls” and some people don’t “feel like a ‘she’ or a ‘he’”.

The teacher then proceeded to tell the class “girls are not real and boys are not real”.

When the Buffones met with JB two months later to discuss their concerns, she claimed that gender ideology was part of the school policy and said she was ‘committed to the teaching of gender fluidity’.

The Buffones were increasingly concerned that their daughter was becoming traumatised.

Mum Pamela said her “gender identity is – or was – seamless comfort in her biological skin. She had never questioned that comfort.”

“Suddenly, she was told to believe that at any moment, what she believes to be real – that she is a girl – may not be true.”

“How very frightening that thought must be to a child”.

Their human rights complaint states that the teacher subjected their six-year-old daughter “to ongoing discrimination on the basis of gender and gender identity, by a series of lessons that denied the existence of the female gender and biological sex and undermined the value of identifying as female”.

Terrance: How many genders does Canada have, Phillip?

Phillip: Two. Three if you include Justin Trudeau.

Obama's Caged Children. Cageworld Summer Sale!

The Blaze: Obama's former ICE director says that Obama, not Trump, is responsible for kids in 'cages' at the border.

Thomas Homan, former President Barack Obama's executive associate director of ICE, said that the "cages" many Democrats rail against President Donald Trump for were ushered in by the Obama administration.
[.]
...Homan said, "I've been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under [former Homeland Security] Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built."

Homan went on to point to a time when a Democratic lawmaker asked a Trump official, "You still keeping those kids in cages?"

With a fiery response, Homan retorted, "I would answer the question, 'The kids are being housed in the same facility built under the Obama administration.'" 

CBS News (June, 2014): Obama: "Do not send your children to the border."

Biden staff denies freaking out over Biden's poor debate performance. Campaign imploding?

The Week: Biden campaign denies they're 'freaking out' about his debate performance.

The Democratic presidential debate wasn't even over yet on Thursday before former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign was denying a report that they're "freaking out" about his performance.

Biden took fire from numerous Democratic opponents during the second round of debates on Thursday, most notably from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who in a pointed exchange challenged Biden's civil rights record and his "hurtful" comments about having worked with segregationists.

New York Magazine's Olivia Nuzzi subsequently reported that Biden's campaign is "freaking out," citing a source close to the campaign as saying debate watch parties have been playing poorly and bemoaning the fact that he didn't listen to debate prep because he's "set in his ways."

    A source close to the Biden campaign tells me his staff is “freaking out” about his poor performance tonight.

President Donald Trump Responds:

DEM Debate 2; We've heard this before.

"Transformational plans."
"Keep what works, fix what doesn't."
"It's FREE!"
"We should be ashamed of our country."
"Tax and spend."
"Guns=All Bad!"
"Allow me to exploit the tragedy of others for my political gain and pandering."

All DEM candidates told a long, personal, motivational and moving story. None of them managed to say anything good about the country. We are in terrible shape, they say, and everything turned bad in the past two and one-half years all due to one man: President Donald Trump.

Joe Biden: "Look..." In claiming he fought the NRA, he said he banned, "the number of 'clips' for a gun." Okay... Joe. And...no one has done more for anybody, ever, than Joe Biden. We know this because he told us this. Often. We get it, Joe, you're the Rosa Parks of Caucasians.

Kirsten Gillibrand: Ranted about "greed" of private industry, businesses and financial markets. Failed to mention the greed of skyrocketing higher education costs and tuittion and failed to mention the greed of politicians.

Kamala Harris: "I'm Michelle O. 2.0, damn it!"

DEM Debate Clown Show Thursday; Two Questions that won't be asked tonight. Or ever.

 
These two questions will never be asked:

1) "What should be done to stop social media companies like Google from interfering in the election?"

2) "Who among the candidates will actively seek the endorsement of Hillary Clinton?"

It'll be all softball questions tonight.

Maybe they'll ask about Joe Biden's personal and family enrichment from the Ukraine. And his son Hunter's cocaine appetite. Cocaine appetite. Cocaine appetite. I doubt it.

OH...if a social media corporation had been found to be skewing and manipulating its results in favor of aiding and abetting the re-election of President Donald Trump. It would be the only topic for the two-hour discussion. The "outrage"...deafening.

St. Louis Park Will No Longer Say the Pledge of Allegiance at City Council Meetings. Who needs "standard rituals"?

St. Louis Park CoucilTard Tim Brausen

Alpha News: St. Louis Park kills Pledge of Allegiance.

Tim Brausen City Council Tim Brausen said “Our community tends to be a very welcoming and increasingly diverse community, and we believe our citizens will understand. I don’t think we’re going to be any less welcoming by not starting our meeting out with the standard ritual.”

The motion to remove the pledge passed unanimously by the city council. Star Tribune reports that roughly half the cities in Minnesota no longer start their meetings with the recital of the pledge of allegiance.

“We’ve had some racial equity initiatives going on in the city of St. Louis Park for awhile where we’re trying to get more diverse communities and historically less engaged communities to come and participate in our public process,” Brausen said. (Translation: "We're trying hard to make people who hate us hate us a little bit less." - DD).

Minnesota State Republican react: 

The Pledge is said at the start of council meetings. The simple and less complicated method to this Draconian "standard ritual" of reciting The Pledge could have been that those who don't want to participate in saying it is to show up five minutes after the start of the meeting. But that doesn't come anywhere close in pandering to Those Who Are Offended By Everything.

Amy Klobuchar, her Uncle Dick, his deer stand and gun confiscation.

DEM presidential candidate Amy "does this hurt my Uncle Dick" Klobuchar

She is so far less intelligent than anyone will admit and than she wants you to realize.

NBC News: Full transcript: 2019 Democratic debate Night One. 

(CROSSTALK)

[CHUCK] TODD:
Thank you, Congressman O'Rourke.

Hang on. Let me give 30 seconds, Senator Klobuchar, the iron range. I'm curious. Gun confiscation, right? If the government is buying back, how do you not have that conversation?

KLOBUCHAR:

Well, that's not confiscation. You could give them the offer to buy back their gun.

But I'll say this. I look at these proposals and I say, does this hurt my Uncle Dick and his deer stand, coming from a proud hunting and fishing state? These proposals don't do that. When I was a prosecutor, I supported the assault weapons ban. When I was in the Senate, I saw those moms from Sandy Hook come and try to advocate for change, and we all failed. And then now these Parkland kids from Florida, they started literally a national shift.

You know why? It's just like with gay marriage. When kids talked to their parents and their grandparents, they say I don't understand why we can't put these sensible things in place, they listen. And if we get bested by a bunch of 17-year-olds...

TODD:

All right, Senator, thank you.

KLOBUCHAR:

... it's the best thing that ever happened. We need to get...

TODD:

Senator, thank you. Senator, thank you.

Todd was trying to save Klobuchar from herself by attempting to end the dialogue. But she just couldn't stop swallowing her foot.

Gun confiscation, her uncle Dick and his deer stand, and analogies between the Second Amendment and gay marriage. I am shocked she failed to manage working in the words, "Trump Bad."

Klobuchar, desperate in promoting the falsehood that the Second Amendment has anything to do with hunting, fishing (because who doesn't use guns while fishing?), her Uncle Dick and his deer stand, or "assault" rifles.

Reddit quarantines r/The Donald

USA MacPaper: Reddit restricts pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald for violent comments.

Reddit has "quarantined" a popular subreddit for supporters of President Donald Trump for "threats of violence against police and public officials."

The social media site now displays a warning message for visitors trying to access r/The_Donald which has more than 754,000 subscribers. Quarantined subreddits also "generate no revenue, do not appear in non-subscription-based feeds (eg Popular), and are not included in search or recommendations," according to Reddit.
[.]
The move comes two days after Media Matters reported that subreddit users have repeatedly called for violence against Oregon police and other public officials. Gov. Kate Brown authorized the Oregon State Police to find and return 11 Republican state senators who fled Salem to deny Democrats the opportunity to pass a sweeping greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade bill.

Can anyone recall Media Matters condemning actual violence committed by AntiFa, rather than alleged "calls for violence" appearing at a thread on a glorified BBS that's been usurped by Spastic Snowflake Liberals?

Parler CEO says Apple won’t let free speech app update unless it censors content. Apple relents.

Reclaim The Net: Apple app update bans Parler.

John Matze, the founder and CEO of free speech social network Parler, says that Apple has given him an ultimatum – ban “offensive” content off Parler or the Parler app will be banned from the App Store. Matze says he refused and now Apple is preventing Parler from updating its app.
[.]
Based on Matze’s claims, Parler won’t be able to push updates to its iOS app until the situation gets resolved which is unlikely if Parler stays committed to allowing “offensive” speech. This means the Parler iOS app will probably become unusable in September when Apple releases iOS 13, a new version of its mobile operating system, because app updates are usually necessary in order for them to continue working with the latest version of iOS.

Apple has relented, at least for now.

Breitbart: Parler Accuses Apple of Slow-Walking App Update.

Free-speech centered social media app Parler recently attempted to roll out an update to their iPhone app, a common event that many app developers do on a regular basis to add new features, fix bugs, update app elements, etc. But Parler found their update stopped dead in its track as Apple stated that it would have to review the app to determine if the update would be allowed to go ahead.

After Parler attempted to launch the update, company CEO John Matze says he was contacted by an Apple employee via the App Store Connect portal. The employee explained that the Parler app was likely in violation of the App store rule 1.1.1 which prohibits:

    ["]Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement.["]
[.]
Last night, the app update was finally approved the delay.

Yuma Border Patrol agents arrest deported child molester Juan Rojas-Rodriguez.

Juan Rojas-Rodriguez

KGUN9, Tuscon: Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents arrest deported child molester Juan Rojas-Rodriguez.

YUMA, Ariz. — Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a deported child molester who entered the U.S. with family units on Wednesday evening.

Yuma station agents near the Colorado River apprehended a group of six migrants near County 23rd Street and the Salinity Canal around 10:45 p.m.

CBP says previously deported Mexican national 41-year-old Juan Rojas-Rodriguez was convicted of sex with a minor under 14-years-old in California back 1996.

Officials say Rojas-Rodriguez was deported in 2008 after being located at the Lompoc Federal Correction Institution in California.

CBP says "Rojas-Rodriguez is charged with re-entry as a previously deported aggravated felon."

The other migrants are being processed for immigration violations.

God is gay; Swarthmore College course.

Image: RT

RT: US college suggests ‘God is queer,’ heaven forbid you challenge it!

Another liberal institution is challenging an age-old dogma – this time on hallowed religious ground – with radical new ideas. This would not be worrisome if dissenting voices were invited, but that is not the case.

Hell hath no fury than a liberal scorned, and if Swarthmore College, situated on a lush, tree-lined campus in the state of Pennsylvania, teaches that God might be experiencing some doubt over his (her?) sexual identity then who are we mere mortals to doubt it? Perhaps the liberal college might even consider extending an invitation to God the Almighty, who micromanaged the Creation in just seven days, to enroll in this course, which promises to “stretch the limits of gendering, and sexing, the divine.”
[.]
...with ultra-liberal classes like the one being offered by Professor Gwynn Kessler, entitled ‘Queering God: Feminist and Queer Theology,’ religious doctrine threatens to be turned on its head to such a degree that what is left bears no resemblance to Christian teachings.

Swarthmore course description:

 Who is Gwen Kessler?

From Campus Reform:

[Professor Gwynn Kessler] is an associate professor of religion at Swarthmore College. She received her Ph.D. in Rabbinics from the Jewish Theological Seminary and has taught at various universities in the U.S., including the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the University of Florida. Kessler has taught many different courses, some of which are on Jewish History, Judaism and Gender, Judaism and Ecology, Feminist Theology, and Religion and Gender. In her university bio, it says that her work fits the categories of “postmodern, feminist, and queer theoretical approaches.”

Campus Reform reached out to Kessler for comments regarding her course but received no response in time for publication.

Swarthmore seems to create its own problems and craves attention:

NPR: Swarthmore Fraternities Disband Over Leaked Documents That Detailed Misogyny:

...campus publications Voices and The Phoenix released anonymously leaked internal documents from Phi Psi, dating from 2010 to 2016.

The trove of files included minutes, detailing graphic sexual encounters with female students, lists of fraternity hazing challenges, and intimate videos and photographs of women that appear to have been taken without their consent. (In most instances, the papers report, the women have their backs to the camera.) One entry refers to an alleged "rape tunnel" and a "rape attic" in one of the fraternity headquarters.

Is there any question why so many college graduates have no marketable and appreciable real-world job qualifications? There are so many employment opportunities that hinge on God's gender and sexual orientation as opposed to asking a prospective employee, "can you create Pivot Tables?"

And DEM presidential candidates want to forgive student loan debt? For students majoring in courses like the above, the amount they owe should be doubled.

BOB O'Rourke proposes 'war tax' on wealthy U.S. families without military members.

BOB O'Rourke rally with supporters.

al-Reuters: Democrat O'Rourke proposes 'war tax' on affluent U.S. families without military members.

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke on Monday proposed taxing affluent American families who do not have members in the U.S. military as a way to fund healthcare for veterans.

The former congressman from Texas unveiled a plan for military veterans that includes a “war tax,” in which taxpayers who earn over $200,000 a year would pay $1,000 in a new tax for each war embarked on by the United States.

O’Rourke, who did not serve in the military but sat on the House of Representatives Armed Services and Veterans’ Affairs committees, said the tax would be levied on households without current members of the U.S. military or military veterans. He did not specify what types of war, or the scale and origins of the wars, on which the tax would be levied.

Of course he didn't explain or provide details on his plan. He's nothing more than a walking, talking glob of platitudes - the same as every other DEM.

Maybe BOB can voluntarily contribute a retroactive "war tax" for his lack of military service, considering his vast wealth of White Privilege lifestyle.

China develops gun chip technology; achieves pinpoint location of firearms.

Image: NZ Herald

New Zealand Herald: China develops chip to pinpoint firearms.

China has developed a satellite positioning chip to pinpoint the location of firearms and trigger an alert when guns are taken out of designated areas, according to a Chinese hi-tech firm.

Beijing Bailineng Technology, the developer of the technology, said in Beijing that the chips used China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System to send real-time location data back to a control centre.

Authorised handlers of the weapons would also be issued with BeiDou watches to send alerts if they are separated from their firearm, with the aim of stopping the weapons falling into the hands of criminals.

"At the moment the accuracy of positioning is about 3 metres," (9' 10" - DD), Ge Chunsheng, a company spokesman, said
[.]
 "The chips are built in inside, can't be seen from the outside and very difficult to remove ... without damaging the gun."

China's BeiDou satellite navigation system breaks underwater barriers, naval shipbuilder says Ge said the chips were too big for pistols at the moment and could only be fitted in bigger weapons.

But the system was already in use in various People's Liberation Army units in Beijing and Nanjing, he said.
[.]
China has strict gun control regulations banning civilians from owning firearms. Only the military, police and some specific personnel such as armed transport crews can legally possess firearms.

Previous gun-tracking systems relied on the US-owned and operated Global Positioning System (GPS).

Sunday, June 23rd 2019

We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry.

This includes support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content. Note that your project data will never be deleted. We will never delete your Ravelry project data for any reason and if a project needs to be removed from the site, we will make sure that you have access to your data. If you are permanently banned from Ravelry, you will still be able to access any patterns that you purchased. Also, we will make sure that you receive a copy of your data.

We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.

Grammas and Great-Aunts can no longer knit or crochet MAGA booties and caps, or cat doilies, and share them on Ravelry. This must be a devastating blow to the craft. Watch for a plunge in the yarn and fiber commodities.

Just one question for Ravelry: Prior to their announcement today, they supported White Supremacy?

Michigan resident Richard Zelasko wins $80 Million lottery. HAS TO give half the winnings to ex-wife.

The Independent via Yahoo: Man who won $80m in the lottery must give half of winnings to estranged wife.

A man who won $80m playing the lottery while going through divorce proceedings will be required to give half his winnings to his ex-wife, a court has ruled.

Richard Anthony Zelasko, 50, has been told he must split the money with his estranged wife Mary Elizabeth, 48, after an arbitrator deemed the winnings part of the “marital estate”.

The couple, from Pontiac, Michigan, were married from 2004 until September 2011, at which point Elizabeth filed for divorce, according to court documents.

Two years later, Zelasko won an $80m Mega Millions lottery jackpot, which amounted to $38m after taxes and deductions.

Despite being separated at the time the ticket was purchased, the arbitrator deemed the winnings should be shared jointly because “that was probably not the first lottery ticket that defendant purchased during the marriage, and ‘as losses throughout the marriage were incurred jointly, so should winnings be shared jointly’”.

According to court documents, Elizabeth earned between $100,000 and $120,000 annually while Zelasko earned $36,000 annually during their marriage.

Ya think Elizabeth is hearing from her old boyfriends, telling her, "they really liked her a lot and never got over her,"? I'm sure she's lovely...anyone have her phone number?

Leon Panetta missing; APB issued by New York’s Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.

Wax figure Leon Panetta missing from Madame Tussauds.

An APB and a Silver Alert were issued by New York's Madame Tussauds Wax Museum for their wax figure of Democrat Deep State Loyalist Leon Panetta.

"A staff member noticed the Panetta wax figure was missing late Thursday night," said Busta Moove, Curator of the museum's political wax, lifelike models.

A figure resembling the Panetta wax replica was allegedly spotted on Friday's NBC Today program, but this is unconfirmed.

"The red clown nose usually worn by the Panetta wax sculpture was found on the floor where it is usually displayed, so his appearance may look a little different. Our main concern is about further melting of this piece of pseudo-contemporary art," said Moove, "and it answers and responds to the name Honk Honk."

Anyone with information on the missing Panetta wax figure is asked to contact the authorities.

Gun owners 'very annoyed' by New Zealand's buyback plans.

Newshub: Why some gun owners feel 'very annoyed' by buyback plans.

Some gun owners feel let down by the Government's buyback plans after it was confirmed they won't get what they paid for them.

The Government has released its buyback price list, and as revealed by Newshub on Wednesday night, owners will not be paid the full retail price of their firearms.
[.]
[Competitive shooter Kyle Scott] has a Colt AR-22, a semi-automatic, which retails for about $1800. But the Government's market value for it is only $600.

And because the gun is used, Scott will only get $420 for it - not even a quarter of what he paid.

Licensed gun owners will be given a valuation on the spot by police-trained valuers. Newshub understands the aim is to get cash into bank accounts within 10 working days.

You can appeal the valuations, but it'll cost you at least $120.

RNZ You Tube: 

Is You Tube planning to hide its Comment section?

Slashgear: YouTube may be planning to hide the comment section by default.

YouTube is testing a feature that makes [its comment section] avoidance easier.

YouTube is testing a feature on Android that hides the comment section by default. Rather than having comments readily available by scrolling down, they’re now hidden behind a new ‘Comments’ section in the menu directly beneath the video that is currently playing.

A prompt in the app warns users that ‘comments have been moved,’ advising them to tap on the new menu section to open the comments. Scrolling down only reveals additional recommended videos; tapping ‘Comments’ pulls up the expected comment section.
[.]
It’s unclear why YouTube has decided to test this new design, which appeared for users in India.
