Just one more thing on the Board of Peace. The excellent Steve Holland of Reuters made multiple attempts on Air Force One last night to ask Trump what the $1 billion each BOP signatory is contributing will be spent on. At every turn, Trump evaded and obfuscated.

This is excellent.

"The President is a writhing mass of impulses and political urges.... On Greenland, sage commentators talk of Arctic security, of critical minerals. It is all nonsense. Trump wants it because Trump wants it, and he sees no good reason why he should not have it."

Blimey. What a conversation!
Today on my Sunday show I interviewed Donald Trump’s pastor. He accused me of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

You can judge for yourself which of us you think might be deranged.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
And what I will say to you is that we are laser focused on wishing he would go away.

France at the UN Security Council:

"The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.
