New Zealand missing in Five Eyes condemnation of Beijing over Hong Kong security law Thomas Manch 11:59, May 29 2020 New Zealand is missing from a firmly-worded condemnation by the Five Eyes nations of Beijing's new security law that cracks down on Hong Kong. Foreign Minister Winston Peters on Thursday night issued a statement saying New Zealand held "deep concern" about the national security legislation for Hong Kong, passed by China's National People's Congress. The law, which has sparked protests in Hong Kong, makes it a crime to undermine Beijing's authority and will allow the country's security agencies to operate in the autonomous city. The other Five Eyes partners - the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada - jointly issued a statement saying the law threatened Hong Kong's status as a "bastion of freedom".

Trump postpones G7 meeting and seeks to expand membership By Associated Press AIR FORCE ONE — President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will postpone until the fall a meeting of Group of 7 nations he had planned to hold next month at the White House despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. And he said he plans to invite Russia, Australia, South Korea and India as he again advocated for the group’s expansion. Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he returned to Washington  from Florida  that he feels the current makeup of the group is “very outdated” and doesn’t properly represent “what’s going on in the world.” He said he had not yet set a new date for the meeting, but thought the gathering could take place in September, around the time of the annual meeting of the United Nations in New York, or perhaps after the U.S. election in November. Alyssa Farah, White House director of strategic communications, said that Trump wanted to bring in some of the country’...

Trump stays silent as America burns .

I'm getting shot!" as cameras caught her and her crew being targeted at gunpoint and shot at by local police with pepper balls.

Who is the greatest threat to world peace?

White supremacy exists in NZ': Auckland George Floyd protest organisers urge Kiwis to march with them The Kiwis behind a Black Lives Matter march in Auckland on Monday are urging others to join them, saying the same white supremacy that resulted in the death of George Floyd is also present in New Zealand. Auckland hip-hop artists Pharoah Swami and Mazbou Q organised the protest, which is anticipated to be attended by UFC fighter Israel Adesanya, world-famous choreographer Parris Goebbel and several-thousand others. Arrangements were made for the march last week after footage showed white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground with a knee on his neck for nine minutes while he pleaded for air. . . Chauvin has since been charged with third-degree murder, but Floyd's passing has sparked riots and demonstrations across the US and the globe. Now, Auckland protest organisers are urging more people to get involved to support New Zeal...

America is at a low ebb, shaken by multiple blows, and the President only adds to the distress America is at a low ebb. Pain and destruction strangle hopes and dreams of people across the country. People are dying – alone from a terrible virus or from a knee on the neck in full public view. Cities burn, destroying businesses and inflaming divisions. Tens of millions are out of work. The president makes it all worse. This is the state of the union as the nation reels from multiple blows, each one arriving with swift and overwhelming force. Long-standing, untreated inequalities have been exposed anew, and they, in turn, have highlighted the country's real vulnerabilities. What has been just below the surface, known but barely acknowledged and rarely addressed seriously, is now impossible to ignore. America experienced a wave of burning cities in the aftermath of a racial killing in 1968. America was hit by a pandemic in 1918 that killed even more people than the 102,00...

Hey Donald Trump, who’s hiding in the bunker now? Over the past forty-eight hours, as Donald Trump has largely hid from public view while providing no leadership and merely posting inflammatory tweets, Palmer Report has quipped that he was either hiding under his bed or hiding under his desk. Now it turns out Trump was literally in hiding. Multiple major news outlets are confirming tonight that at one point over the weekend, Donald Trump hid in an underground bunker beneath the White House, because there were some peaceful protesters across the street. We have no way of knowing for sure if this decision was made by Trump himself or by his security detail. But either way, it’s a perfectly on-the-nose turn of events. . . Back when the pandemic was at its worst, Joe Biden was quarantining himself in his basement, because it was the responsible thing to do – but Donald Trump spent the entire time lampooning him for it (even as Trump also remained almost exclusively at...

BREAKING: Anti-Trump Republican group attacks Trump on race in new ad The anti-Trump Republican group,  The Lincoln Project , is planning to air a new attack  ad blasting President Donald Trump's record on race relations in the US. The TV spot, backed by a $500,000 ad buy, will air in the key battleground states of Florida, Wisconsin and Michigan as well as in Washington, DC. The ad, entitled "Flag of Treason," targets the support Trump has received from white nationalist groups.  . . One of the group's previous ads delivered a blistering critique of Trump's record on the coronavirus pandemic, playing off of Ronald Reagan's iconic 1984 "Morning in America" reelection spot. The "Mourning in America" ad went viral, giving The Lincoln Project an infusion of funds. The Lincoln Project is led by a high-profile team of anti-Trump Republicans, including John Weaver, Rick Wilson, Reed Galen and George Conway, the husband of W...

Trump should just stop talking Atlanta Mayor  Keisha Lance Bottoms  on Sunday rebuked Donald Trump's rhetoric amid days of protests after the death of  George Floyd , saying the President "is making it worse" and is stoking racial tensions. . . "He should just stop talking. This is like Charlottesville all over again," Bottoms told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "He speaks and he makes it worse. There are times when you should just be quiet and I wish that he would just be quiet. Or if he can't be silent, if there is somebody of good sense and good conscience in the White House, put him in front of a teleprompter and pray he reads it and at least says the right things, because he is making it worse."  Her remarks come amid ongoing protests across the country over the death of Floyd, an unarmed African American man who died after he was pinned down by a white Minneapolis police officer. In a  series of tw...
