amusement: manufacturing the ‘Toblerone express’

The second pic shows a real Japanese train, specifically a former Kintetsu Railway unit, designed with a very narrow loading gauge, leading to a restricted interior space.  Someone Photoshopped it to look like a Toblerone bar. But despite popular belief, it was never a branded advertising vehicle for the chocolate company.

Winston takes some (partial) swipes at the Globalists

He nevertheless got some heavy flak for continuing to send ‘mahney’ to the disgusting fascist, ultra-corrupt Zelensky regime — which needs to be overthrown — and refusing to slam the warlords of Nato.

Sovereignty Secured: IHR amendments rejected

New Zealand has formally rejected the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR), notifying the World Health Organisation this week of our decision.

“Decisions about the health of Kiwis should be made from Wellington, not Geneva.” – Winston Peters

New Zealand First made a promise to put the national interests of New Zealanders first, as we always have. Rejecting these amendments ensures that we maintain our sovereign decision making, and it pushes back on globalist bureaucrats.

Others talked. New Zealand First delivered.

the Pentagon seeks another $US 200 billion for its Iran war, AP source says

Politicians should reply, ‘we already give you over $1 trillion a year, so no more’. But they’ll oblige.

“You shouldn’t have given all those missiles to Zelensky, you Stuffwits.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war, a sizable amount that is certain to be met with questions from Congress, which would need to approve any new money.

The department sent the request to the White House, according to a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private information. Asked about the figure at a press conference Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not directly confirm the amount, saying it could change.

“It takes money to kill bad guys,” Hegseth said.

But he said “we’re going back to Congress and our folks there to ensure that we’re properly funded.”

Toronto Police Show Up at Woman’s Door Over Instagram Insult to PM Mark Carney: “Zionist Scumbag” Sparks Dystopian Welfare Check

In a chilling scene straight out of an authoritarian playbook, Toronto police knocked on a resident’s door in March 2026 after she posted harsh criticism of Prime Minister Mark Carney on Instagram, calling him a “Zionist scumbag.”

The woman, recording the encounter on her phone, confronted the officers head-on.

“Because, I mean, he’s a Zionist sc*mbag, and he’s not my prime minister,” she said defiantly. “But really, you’re gonna come to my door and you’re worried that I’m going to do something?”

The officers insisted it was just a “welfare check” and community engagement visit, citing concerns that the language could be interpreted as threatening or crossing into hate speech under Canada’s Criminal Code. They warned that repeated or escalated comments could lead to further investigation or charges.

“I’ll say whatever the [Stuff] I want about our prime minister,” she shot back, slamming the absurdity of police resources being used for this while violent crime and public disorder run rampant in Toronto.

This isn’t mere political disagreement—it’s state power flexing to intimidate citizens over online words. Police showing up uninvited over name-calling sets a dangerous precedent: criticize the wrong politician, and the knock comes to your door.

Canada’s already sliding into this surveillance-state nightmare under leaders cozy with globalist agendas. If Democrats regain full control in America—pushing their own versions of “hate speech” laws, online censorship, and weaponized agencies—this exact dystopia could cross the border fast. Door-to-door intimidation over speech isn’t a Canadian exclusive; it’s the logical endpoint of big-government overreach when conservatives speak out.
