What’s the Deal with Greenland? JD Vance on Why The Strategic, Mineral-Rich Country is on Trump’s Radar Critics laughed at President-Elect Donald Trump when he floated the idea of purchasing Greenland back in 2019. Well, now that Trump is about to take office the reality of Greenland figuring prominently in the future of the United States in a major capacity is closer than ever. Vice President-Elect JD Vance had this to say on Fox News Sunday. (READ) "We don't have to use military force. We already have troops in Greenland. Greenland is really important for America. Strategically. It has a lot of great natural resources. My friend Donald Trump Junior was there a couple of days ago. And you what they told him. They want to be empowered to develop the people of Greenland, want to be empowered to develop the resources there." "We also need to make sure that Greenland is properly cared for from an American security perspective. And frankly, the current leadership, the Danish government has not done a good enough job of securing Greenland. I think there actually is a real opportunity here for us to take leadership, to protect America's security, to ensure that those incredible natural resources are developed." https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2025/01/12/jd-vance-military-already-in-greenland-important-strategically-n2406519

Hey Doc, you were right.

Nice black jacket on McDermitt, good look.

PLINKO !

Is it just me or is the Sean Peyton Camera blurry ?

I know that we wanted to use the clock, but there wasn't enough rhythm in that offensive drive. . . . . . .too slow. .

Back to the point.

Wildfire ActBlue 'Donation' Scandal Explodes, Elizabeth Warren Implicated While Obama Bros Go Berserk https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/01/12/wildfire-actblue-donation-scandal-explodes-elizabeth-warren-steps-in-it-while-obama-bros-lash-out-n2184244 .

In LA fire horror, California elites face the consequences of blue misrule By Karol Markowicz The vivid, heartbreaking images from this week’s Los Angeles wildfires called urgent attention to California’s longtime decline. But this time, those affected by its bad policies and bad governance include a demographic rarely touched by them: the rich. Over the last several years, California’s net out-migration numbers set records. An astounding 343,000 more people left the Golden State than moved to it in 2022, the highest net loss of any state, and 2023 was almost as bad, with a net loss of 268,100. But the wealthy of California largely stayed put. It was mostly the lower and middle classes, walloped by notoriously high taxes, mismanagement at every level of government and crumbling infrastructure, who made a run for the door. The affluent have been largely protected from all that. They could easily absorb the heavy tax burden and the high costs of housing or gas. Like Gov. Gavin Newsom, they could avoid their state’s failing public schools and send their kids to private schools instead. But no water in a fire hydrant is a great equalizer. Comedian Billy Crystal lost his home — all but its tennis court — in Pacific Palisades. The homes of actors Anthony Hopkins, Miles Teller and John Goodman were wiped out there, too. Heiress Paris Hilton said she saw her luxe Malibu vacation house “burn to the ground on live TV.” It’s unpleasant to talk about the politics that led to the loss of entire neighborhoods, but it’s necessary to examine the terrible policies that led to this preventable disaster. After over a decade of one-party rule, California has become the testing ground for the left’s most extreme ideas — and we are seeing the results in real time now. https://nypost.com/2025/01/10/opinion/la-fires-make-calif-elites-face-the-results-of-blue-misrule/

Seems like "bonkers" and "cut ties with reality" isn't what it used to be. . . . . . . .. . . . lol. Greenland leaders ready to talk with Trump after prez-elect expressed interest to make territory part of America by Jon Levine Greenland’s leader Múte Egede said he is prepared to enter into negotiations with President-elect Trump about the future of the mineral-rich arctic territory — but warned his people had no interest in becoming Americans. At a press conference Friday in Denmark, which exercises nominal sovereignty over Greenland, Egede said he accepted that Greenland was “a place that the Americans see as part of their world” and that while he has not spoken with Trump, he was open to “discussions about what unites us.” “We are ready to talk,” he said. “Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions.” https://nypost.com/2025/01/11/us-news/greenland-leaders-ready-to-talk-with-trump/ Location, location: Why Trump’s Greenland push is smart geopolitics by Rich Lowry In business, Donald Trump was a real-estate guy. In the presidency, he might be one, too. The prospective foreign policy of his second term has taken an unexpected turn, with his recent talk of annexing Canada, buying Greenland and taking back the Panama Canal. Rather than the neo-isolationist that he’s often accused of being, Trump is talking like a neo-imperialist, at least in our own hemisphere. Even if President Trump does none of these things — he’s largely joking about the Great White North — his musings are a reminder of the crucial importance of geography and the control of territory. https://nypost.com/2025/01/10/opinion/donald-trumps-greenland-push-is-smart-geopolitics/

These four women destroyed the Democratic Party with race By Glenn K. Beaton Four young Congresswomen – not even Senators – accomplished something that eluded years of Democratic Presidents and their woes. Jimmy Carter in his malaise, Bill with Monica and his cigar, Lyndon Johnson and his Vietnam War – none of that was able to accomplish what these four young Congresswomen accomplished. They destroyed the Democratic Party. It was a perfect storm that began around the year 2020. China leaked a bioengineered virus from its biowarfare lab – probably accidentally – to produce worldwide mass hysteria and lockdowns of billions of people. It gathered steam when a thug died in the hands of a white cop. Protests and riots ensued, weirdly exempted from the lockdowns. At the time, the country was already weary of Donald Trump and his often productive but typically provocative antics. These four Congresswomen seized the moment. Never great fans of America, they seized that time of weakness to destroy her, or at least act out their anger at her. The death of the thug became emblematic of white police brutality. Never mind that this particular thug probably died of drugs, not a chokehold. Never mind that more Blacks die at the hands of Black police officers than at the hands of white ones. Never mind that the leading cause of death among young Black men is other young Black men. Never mind that the murder rate among Blacks is seven-times that of whites, and nearly all Black murders are at the hands of other Blacks. Led by these Congresswomen, the Left decided that sticking to those inconvenient facts was . . . RACIST! The narrative was more important than any dumb facts. To disagree with their false narrative or their false charge of racism served only to prove you’re a . . . RACIST! Your only salvation was confession, and then they might let you off easy with just a few hundred hours of DEI training. Oh yes, DEI. The Left’s long-standing reverse discrimination called “Affirmative Action” had failed, and their effort to sustain their failed discrimination was also failing. So, the Left did what they do when their policies fail: They rebranded it. (See, e.g., communism rebranded as socialism, rebranded as liberalism, rebranded as wokeism, rebranded as progressivism.) The new brand for “Affirmative Action” was “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” This new brand was the same as the old brand, except, this time, it was coupled with brainwashing. You had to not only engage in reverse discrimination; you had to believe in it. You had to believe that the company (or college or whatever) was stronger if the guy down the hall had dark skin. The problem was that DEI, like Affirmative Action, tended to conflict with a meritocracy. But the DEI supremacists had a solution to that problem: Do away with merit. Merit became a code word for . . . RACIST! While we’re at it, they thought, let’s do away with sex. A nominee for the Supreme Court announced rather proudly that she could not define “woman.” That proved to be a slippery slope. Next thing we knew, people that everyone else defines as not women – you know, people with a Y chromosome, high testosterone levels, a penis and testicles – were calling themselves “women” and competing in women’s sports like swimming and even boxing. Unsurprisingly, in view of their testosterone levels and male musculature, they usually won. By a pool length or a knockout. At which time they joined the women in the showers. If you complained, you were the sex equivalent of . . . RACIST! You were alphabet-people-phobic. For that, you get another few hundred hours of DEI training, and then you get cancelled. No soup for you, and no career either. Two more things. Bear with me. MORE at the link: https://theaspenbeat.com/2025/01/11/these-four-women-destroyed-the-democratic-party-with-race/

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s role in the horrific SoCal wildfires that have engulfed the state just got more damning. Newsweek on Friday uncovered explosive evidence that just months before devastating wildfires, which have so far killed at least ten people and destroyed countless homes, Newsom approved at least $101 million worth of cuts from seven “wildfire and forest resilience” programs. The reductions, which were part of last year’s state budget and signed by Newsom in June, included a $5 million decrease for CalFire on fuel reduction teams. These included revenue used to fund vegetation management work by the California National Guard. Do you think that additional money would have been useful, considering these wildfires are now the worst in American history? https://www.newsweek.com/gavin-newsom-cut-100m-fire-prevention-budget-before-california-fires-2012980 https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/tomorrow-yikes-gavin-newsom-slashed-state-fire-budget/

Not a chance.

Petty.

Tibs nears the bottom. Tiberius is going to repeat and repeat and repeat the same false theory that President Trump is crazy. Every thread. despite the fact that he started a specific (bonkers) thread to push it. Hell, he even changed his screen name of ten years to push it. Just let the poor man (?) rail and shout at the sky alone. Don't encourage him.
