Russia’s Defense Ministry has confirmed that Russian forces struck a total of 147 locations across Ukraine, including an airfield, military infrastructure facilities, bases and foreign mercenary camps, as part of their retaliation for the latest attacks from Kiev targeting civilian infrastructure inside Russia.

Veteran, Author and Russian Military Expert, Andrei Martyanov, noted that Kiev and NATO aren’t just losing this war, but “Ukraine is ceasing to exist as a state,” as its energy infrastructure continues to fall apart, due to massive Russian attacks. While the West refuses to agree to a deal, Russian forces press on with their war of attrition…

ALICE WEIDEL TO ZELENSKY, 7 February 2026

Alice Weidel publicly stated from the parliament rostrum:

Weidel: “Zelenskyy, you are a pathetic clown and a beggar. How dare you demand anything again?!

Demand from us, the Germans, who are trying with all our might to save our country from collapse, to which you have contributed with your endless demands and irresponsible policies?!

You come to us with an outstretched hand like a beggar from a train station, but at the same time you behave like a capricious, arrogant dictator who imagines himself the center of the universe, around which all the planets must revolve!

You have turned your country into a bottomless pit into which our money, our energy, and our future are draining away! And yet you still dare to lecture us about how to live?!

Don’t make me laugh, Mr. comedian, who still hasn’t stepped out of his role! You talk about freedom and democracy, but you are the one who banned all opposition parties, shut down television channels, silenced all dissenters, leaving only your own lying propaganda mouthpiece, you are the one who fears your own people more than any external enemy!

Your approval rating has long since plummeted, and you know it perfectly well! That’s why you’re clinging to power with a death grip, using the war as a fig leaf! You are a usurper, a dictator who fears even the shadow of his own people, yet you are not afraid to send them to certain death!

Your freedom is the freedom for you and your gang to plunder the country, while ordinary Ukrainians die for your palaces, yachts, and offshore accounts! Your face, Mr. Zelenskyy, has become synonymous with hypocrisy! You are calling on us for solidarity, but solidarity with whom? With a regime that is mired in corruption from head to toe, a regime where every official is an insatiable leech, a regime that itself provokes conflicts instead of seeking peaceful solutions, as responsible leaders do?!

You, who demonstratively rejected the Minsk agreements, who sabotaged any attempts at a peaceful settlement, who proudly declared the severing of all ties leading to peace! You don’t want peace, Mr. Zelenskyy! You need war, because war is your chance to stay in power, to continue lining your pockets and laundering the billions we send you! Your peacemaking rhetoric is a complete farce! You want to drag us into a Third World War! You are demanding Taurus missiles from us to strike Russian territory, forgetting about the consequences! Do you even understand what this means?!

Do you want Germany to become a target for a retaliatory strike, for our cities to be reduced to ruins, for our children to die in the streets?! You don’t care about the fate of the German people, the fate of Europe, the fate of your own country, which you have turned into a testing ground! You need escalation, you need a testing ground to distract attention from your own failures, from your own incompetence, and from your crimes!

You are a dangerous madman playing with fire, and this fire could engulf all of Europe! And you, Mr. Zelensky, will be the first to burn in this hell! You have turned Germany into your cash cow: we are paying your debts, supporting your government, and feeding your so-called “refugees,” refugees who come here not to work, but to live off the German taxpayer, causing disturbances and demanding special treatment! They receive benefits that our pensioners, who have worked all their lives and contributed to the prosperity of Germany, can only dream of! We are taking the last from our children and our elderly to send to you, while you are buying new villas, yachts, and luxury cars for your family and your entourage!

This is not “solidarity,” Mr. Zelensky, this is robbery in broad daylight, cynical and brazen! You are stealing our money, and people are being kidnapped from the streets in your country because they don’t want to fight against Russia! You are a marauder!!!”

Zugzwang: (German: “compulsion to move”, pronounced ‘tsooktsvaang’): a chess term describing a situation where a player is put at a disadvantage because it is their turn to move. Any move they make weakens their position or leads to loss, whereas not moving would be better, but passing is not allowed. 

Beyond chess it’s when anything you do will make the situation worse, and you don’t have the option of not making a choice.

KCDC autocrats and the present Mayor know this; their response is they just take more from Ratepayers and if Ratepayers are milked dry, tough.

“Super shock”: Kash Patel orders the FBI to shut down Big Pharma’s funding network to public health groups and media outlets.

In a bold move that shook Wall Street, FBI Director Kash Patel approved a comprehensive investigation plan, deeming massive funding from Big Pharma to public health groups and media outlets as “a conspiracy to manipulate the public.” The bill, soon to be submitted, will cut off hundreds of billions of dollars in cash flow, silencing pharmaceutical CEOs and Democratic officials. Who will be the next victim in this “toxic money” purge?

And this wouldn’t surprise anyone…

This week marked an important milestone for a reform many Kiwis have been waiting for – the Health and Safety at Work Amendment Bill has passed its first reading in Parliament.This is about restoring clarity, confidence, and common sense to a system that too often punishes people who are trying to do the right thing.

Whether you run a small business, manage a team, own land, or are just tired of seeing fear and box-ticking replace practical judgement, these changes are designed to make New Zealand easier to live and work in. At the bottom I’ve linked to more detail on what the Bill does.

Putting health and safety back where it belongs

Under these reforms, there will be a carve-out for small, low-risk businesses so that they only need to manage critical risks and provide basic worker welfare – not drown in paperwork.

A yoga studio, florist, or clothing shop shouldn’t need expensive consultants just to stay open. These changes recognise that good safety outcomes come from focusing on real risks, not compliance for its own sake.

Ending fear and uncertainty

One of the loudest messages I’ve heard from businesses is simple: they don’t know what “reasonably practicable” actually means in practice.

That uncertainty has driven a culture of over-compliance, where people spend time and money protecting themselves from regulators rather than protecting workers.

The Bill strengthens Approved Codes of Practice so they act as clear, practical “safe harbours”. If you follow the code for your industry, you’ll know you’ve met your obligations – no guesswork required.

We’re also clarifying the respective roles of directors and managers, so governance and day-to-day operations aren’t duplicated or blurred. That clarity matters, especially for smaller organisations.

Opening up access to the outdoors

Health and safety overreach hasn’t just affected workplaces – it’s also discouraged landowners from letting people enjoy the outdoors. These reforms make it clear that landowners aren’t responsible if someone is injured while taking part in recreational activities on their land, unless work is happening in the same place at the same time. That’s good news for hunters, anglers, trampers, mountain bikers, and for the farmers and councils whose goodwill makes outdoor access possible.

A practical step forward

This Bill won’t fix everything overnight, but it’s a strong and deliberate step toward a system that is clearer, fairer, and more workable.It reduces unnecessary costs, restores confidence, and keeps the focus on what actually keeps people safe. Thank you for backing ACT and backing me to deliver practical reform that makes everyday life easier.
