“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

shoot your shot, always

Labour just wants to hand out “free stuff” like Oprah. It took two and a half years, a bonfire of useless old policy, a lame excuse to wait for the budget, and all Labour could come up with was ‘capping public transport costs’…but just for some people…just in some areas…just for some things. Labour says public transport will only cost up to $20 a week then it’s free. Newsflash: nothing is ever “free”. “Free” actually means taxpayers pay for it - because whether Labour understands it or not, money doesn’t grow on trees. And guess what. People who are riding on public transport are the taxpayers who are going to pay for it. Labour’s big plan is to move $65m from the National Land Transport Fund to pay for it all. That automatically means something else that money was already allocated to will now not be paid for - or they have to either borrow more or tax you more. They already said they want everyone to get three “free” doctor’s visits as well. It’s starting to sound like an Oprah Winfrey episode where everyone gets free stuff handed out. You get one, you get one, everyone gets one! Just in the last few months NZFirst has already announced policies on breaking up the power companies, splitting the supermarket duopoly, establishing a competitive state owned bank, returning royalties to the regions, creating a KiwiSaver generation for newborns and increasing contributions, establishing a NZ Future Fund…and there are many more coming. Those are what you call real policies that tackle the cost of living issues for kiwis and start to build a country we are all proud of. Labour just wants to hand out “free stuff” like Oprah.

I stopped by the new Reflecting Pool. It is simply glorious. There were a thousand people, everywhere, taking pictures and just enjoying its beauty. Thank you President Trump for restoring our city’s national treasure.

We can't agree on everything but we can get behind this! 🍻

You have to be born in New York to be a New Yorker!! @JLo

Netflix’s film boss says “there’s a group of filmmakers who still want theatrical” that they’ve “accepted we just won’t work with.” “One mistake I made when I first joined the company,” Dan Lin told the Times, “was that filmmakers always said to me, ‘Please tell me the truth.’ And when I told them the truth, they might not have wanted to hear it. So now I’m learning how to better read people. And if someone tells me they want to hear the truth, I tell it in a way that can be as productive as possible.” variety.com/2026/film/news/n…

Reflection pool comparison. Did Trump do it justice or what?
