🚨Do listen to what His Highness is saying.
The left has dominated the media and political institutions in Europe.
They are shameless and vile.
We see the same situation in NZ.
Something has to be done, actions that counterbalance their dominance must be taken by all of us.
This can’t be ignored anymore.

Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.

Don’t know what to do when you leave school with no skills, no knowledge, no ambition, but you like to sit in meetings making notes, then writing reports that no one will read - go work for a government ministry they’ll pay you well

Just look at what ISRAEL has built to keep Palestinians out! 7 layers of border wall, and they’ll shoot anyone who tries to cross.
… Oh wait.
This isn’t Israel. This is EGYPT. This is the Egypt-Gaza border.
But if we say “Israel,” maybe you’ll care.

Western journalists get a deserved serve from Reza Pahlavi.
Like many of us, he’s so sick & tired of gutless woke lefty MSM.

@RobJF24 Shaun’s looking really good at present isn’t he.
I love the way he now stays down on the shot until everything is still again

We have our first quarter-finalist! 🤩
Anyone else get the feeling he's getting a second world title 21 years after his first?

“Growing anti-Israel animus in the United States isn’t just a warning sign for American Jews. It suggests that America is going the same way as Europe, if more slowly.”

It’s no wonder we can’t get anything done in this country, and kids don’t know anything.
We’re constantly ‘on holiday’
WTF….🤷♂️

Oh and BTW, it’s not intimidating, it’s ridiculous pantomime

Let’s be clear — the haka is not some political prop to be dismissed or targeted for cheap points. For generations, kapa haka has been a powerful expression of whakaaro, identity, and resistance. It speaks to kaupapa that impact Māori — our iwi, hapū and whānau. It existed long before today’s political narratives, and it will exist long after them too. So when ACT MP Parmjeet Parmar takes aim at haka and kaupapa Māori, it doesn’t come across as insight — it comes across as tone-deaf and dismissive of something deeply rooted in this country. At a time when te reo Māori initiatives are being questioned and Māori voices are increasingly challenged, this kind of rhetoric only fuels division. And let’s be honest about that — Māori didn’t create this divide. Māori didn’t open the door to attacking our culture, language, and identity. But we are expected to sit quietly while it happens. Calling out haka as “virtue signalling” completely misses the point. It’s not performance for approval — it’s expression, it’s history, it’s mana. If there’s frustration out there, it’s not coming from nowhere. It’s coming from seeing kaupapa Māori constantly undermined by those in positions of power. That’s not leadership. That’s disconnection. #KaupapaMāori #Haka #TeReoMāori #Aotearoa #NZPolitics #MāoriVoices #ManaMotuhake

🚨 Denmark has just done the IMPOSSIBLE 🇩🇰
The anti-immigration, right wing People’s Party has just TRIPLED their seats and vote share in last nights elections❗️
It seems Denmark is also fed up with the European Union’s open borders policies 🚫
