The Mayor of Whanganui Lives up to His Name

Rather than acknowledging this tragic truth, Mayor Tripe trivialised the occasion.

He revealed himself as a partisan ideologue who cannot rise above petty politics, even in the face of a family’s grief. A mayor is meant to unite, not divide. A mayor is meant to lead with respect, not contempt.

Charlie Kirk stood for something. He stood for values that many in New Zealand still hold dear. His life was worth more than the cheap political sneers of an uninformed, self-indulgent local politician. The people of Whanganui deserve better.

My last remark, directed at Mayor of Whanganui Andrew Tripe, is that you, sir, are a load of tripe.

The US And Australia Must Lead the Minerals Race

We must ensure the materials of modern life are sourced, processed, and refined under the stewardship of free nations. If not, we risk ceding the foundations of our prosperity and defense to those who would use them as leverage. The stakes are high for our economies, militaries and the free world.
