The speech. ~~~~~~~~~ Trump: Greenland Is In The Western Hemisphere And Is Of Core National Security Interest To The U.S. In his speech to the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, President Donald Trump underscored the geopolitical importance of Greenland and that the United States is the only nation that can secure the territory.

Fascinating take. Comments about it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ President Trump will get a third term even if he doesn't want one https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/president-trump-will-get-a-third-term-even-if-he-doesn-t-want-one/ar-AA1UzyoX

Welcome to the forum! This process is painfully slow, but every little step is a gain. We're with you.

Finally -- the truth is admitted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At SCOTUS, Lisa Cook's Attorney Admits Trump Can Fire His Client From The Fed In a stunning admission, Democrat Lisa Cook's attorney conceded that President Trump possesses the legal authority to remove his client from her role as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The moment came during Wednesday's Supreme Court oral arguments in Trump v. Cook, which centers around a request brought by the Trump administration to pause a lower court injunction preventing Cook's removal. As The Federalist previously reported, Trump fired Cook in August over allegations that she committed mortgage fraud prior to joining the Fed.

This whole piece is worth reading and reflecting on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICE protesters are storming churches now? This has to stop. Once again, leftists are on the wrong side of a vital issue. And once again, things are not as they appear. I watched news coverage of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters in Minnesota storming Cities Church, a Baptist church in St. Paul, during a Sunday morning service on Jan. 18, and I felt a twinge of righteous indignation. Some leftists seem to hate law, order and President Donald Trump so much that they will interrupt a church service of evangelical Christians to make a point and possibly defy state and federal laws. They have crossed a line. Anti-ICE protesters, former CNN host Don Lemon in tow, screamed at Christians as they worshipped God, "Justice for Renee Good," and "Hands up! Don't shoot!"

What Does Katie Get? One year ago, young and beautiful Katie Abraham was in a car with her college friends, waiting at a red light in Urbana, Illinois. Julio Cucul Bol, a 29-year-old citizen of Guatemala—and in the United States illegally having adopted fake Mexican identity—was driving drunk behind her. He was coming up on Katie's car at speeds approaching 80 miles an hour. Then the crash. Abraham, 20 was killed. Also killed was 21-year-old Chloe Polzin of Deerfield. But by the luck of the demons, Bol lived and ran away, to eventually be arrested days later about an hour south of Dallas. He was trying out an assumed identity as a Mexican. And what have we seen since? Chaos as the left, once again, uses force to impose its will on Americans. [...] https://johnkassnews.com/what-does-katie-get/

A good travel history is also a positive factor. Has your wife left Serbia for any other country and returned? If not, and if circumstances permit before reapplying for a tourist visa, doing so can only help.

Whoops: Trump Reveals He's Actually Been Thinking Of Iceland This Whole Time WASHINGTON, D.C. — While appearing at a White House press briefing on Tuesday, President Donald Trump revealed that he had been mistaken and was actually thinking of Iceland this whole time. For the past year, and increasingly over the last few weeks, Trump had been raising the temperature of rhetoric regarding the U.S. seeking to acquire Greenland. During a daily briefing with top advisors, however, he realized it was Iceland he had in mind. "Totally different place, from what I'm hearing," Trump told reporters. "Greenland is [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/whoops-trump-reveals-hes-actually-been-thinking-of-iceland-this-whole-time

Denmark Protects Greenland By Securing It In Giant Cookie Tin NUUK — With rhetoric from both European countries and the United States over control of the island escalating, Denmark commenced a plan to protect Greenland by securing it in a giant cookie tin. In the face of increased pressure to sell the territory to the U.S. for national security purposes, Danish leaders devised what sources said was a "foolproof" plan to enclose Greenland the best way they know — by replicating its trademark cookie tin on an enormous scale. "This will also keep Greenland fresh and crispy for the foreseeable future," said Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

NATO Begs U.S. For Emergency Funding So They Can Defend Greenland From U.S. BRUSSELS — Amid the looming threat of a U.S. military takeover of Greenland, NATO requested emergency aid from the U.S. to help it defend Greenland from the U.S. "This is an emergency, and we need the aid of the United States as soon as possible," said Secretary General Mark Rutte. "The U.S. could attack Greenland at any minute, and we have no ability to defend it unless we get some military aid from the U.S. immediately."

This seems increasingly necessary... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Supreme Court Justices Bring In Ms. Rachel To Explain Cases To Ketanji Brown Jackson WASHINGTON, D.C. — With arguments being presented on issues that will have far-reaching effects on shaping the future of American laws, society, and culture, the other eight Supreme Court justices brought in Ms. Rachel to explain cases to Ketanji Brown Jackson. The judges reportedly discussed a variety of potential solutions to mitigate Jackson's intellectual shortcomings before deciding to hire the popular YouTube star and children's educator to help Jackson better understand the complex cases being ruled on by the court.

Oh, goodness... consecutive posts, this one with Wednesday's Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECONOMIC SYSTEMS TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The government takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and throws the milk away. VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have 2 cows. You sell 3 of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, and then execute a debt-to-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all 4 cows back, with a tax exemption for 5 cows. The milk rights of the 6 cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all 7 cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns 8 cows, with an option on one more.

This One Lie About Trump Could Cost CNN Millions CNN may have to lawyer up now, after one of its commentators lobbed a defamatory claim at President Donald Trump Monday night, and host John Berman barely lifted a finger to correct it. Cameron Kasky, a 25-year-old Parkland shooting survivor turned activist, was on NewsNight for some reason. There, he falsely claimed Trump was part of a "human sex-trafficking network," in what appeared to be a reference to Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise. The allegation wasn't some throwaway line, either. Kasky doubled down, despite multiple opportunities to walk it back, creating significant legal exposure for the network. The incident began as a discussion about Trump’s quest to acquire Greenland, when, apropos of nothing, Kasky made the false claim.
