Certainly interesting, even fascinating. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who really owns Greenland? With President Trump's renewed push to obtain Greenland from Denmark back in the news, it's worth looking into the history of the place to understand who really owns it, given the unusual move from Washington. I live in Denmark, and know the place, so consider this backstory: Prior to the year 985 A.D., the Inuit peoples inhabited the island of Greenland and had done so for about 2,500 years. Then, in 985, the famous Norse Viking Erik the Red [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/01/who_really_owns_greenland.html

Thoughts, both of our own and specifically on this editorial? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Former Uvalde Cop Being Tried for Failing to Act in Tragic Shooting I have no interest in dying, but I don't know if I could live with myself if I were one of the officers who first responded to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and I did absolutely nothing, despite not just knowing the protocol for active shooters, but having the training to handle it. As we saw in Nashville, a swift, violent response to a school shooting can save a whole lot of lives. But in Uvalde, we saw the opposite of that. Now, one of the first officers to respond is going to trial for his failure to act.

Geez! ~~~~~ Trump Sends a Powerful Message by Snatching Rogue Oil Tanker Under the Nose of the Russian Navy Early Wednesday, U.S. Special Operations Forces, probably Navy SEALs, boarded and took control of a Russian-flagged supertanker in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Ireland, bringing to an end a nearly three-week melodrama. On December 21, the U.S. Coast Guard operating in the Caribbean as part of Operation Southern Spear attempted to board a "dark fleet" supertanker, M/T Bella 1, heading toward Venezuela; see Report: Coast Guard Now Targeting Another Sanctioned Oil Ship Off Venezuela – RedState. The ship's registration had expired, making it stateless. That didn't stop the ship from claiming Guyanese registration. The U.S. Treasury Department had sanctioned the vessel [...] https://redstate.com/streiff/2026/01/07/trump-sends-a-powerful-message-by-snatching-rogue-oil-tanker-under-the-nose-of-the-russian-navy-n2197887

Be sure to click the White House link. But... but... whatever will the International Lead and Zinc Study Group do without U.S. support?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump, Rubio Yank Support From 66 International Organizations That 'No Longer Serve American Interests' One of the things we've learned in Donald Trump's second term is just how much money and support we're giving to a seemingly endless list of organizations, NGOs, foreign governments, and think tanks that often don't even support what's best for America. Think, USAID, for starters. On Wednesday, the president withdrew support from a whopping 66 of them, saying they didn't further the American cause: [...] https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/01/07/trump-yanks-support-from-66-international-organizations-that-no-longer-serve-american-interests-n2197889

Wonder how long before the bloom is off his rose, even considering that he's currently a god?

And, almost without doubt, an AWFL.

Indeed. What an idiot. Exactly.

Different circumstances for different folks. If asked, answer simply with brief reasoning.

Misspelling in thread title has been corrected. The ICE agent was struck by the vehicle (per reverse-angle video). Justified shooting.

What a stuffed-shirt, clueless clown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mamdani Forced to Make Humiliating Admission After Pressed on 'Briefing' Claim About Maduro Capture [...] "I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City," Mamdani bizarrely tweeted at the time. "Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law." Mamdani's remarks left many perplexed, and social media mockery soon ensued. Why on earth would the Trump administration, especially members of the national security team, "brief" Mamdani on anything of this nature, let alone a top secret foreign operation - and especially one that involved taking one of Mamdani's powerful socialist comrades into custody? It sounded like a lie told by someone with a highly inflated sense of self-importance, and as it turns out, that's exactly what it was, as Mamdani was forced to admit during a presser this week when asked about it by a reporter: [...] https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/01/07/humiliation-for-zohran-mamdani-over-claim-of-briefing-on-venezulea-operation-n2197860

These are great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CBS Evening News Features AI Marco Rubio Memes, Saluting Him as the Ultimate Florida Man With renewed buzz about the United States buying (not invading) Greenland, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been given another title — governor of Greenland. This comes directly on the heels of his being appointed as the next president of Venezuela. CBS News actually showed a sense of humor with a piece on all of the AI memes of Rubio going around X, dubbing him "the ultimate Florida man."

There ya go. What, you waited till the very end of the process to lose your nerve? Violent physical exercise is a great tonic and attitude-resetter.

Look at each reference. Note the earliest and latest estimates. Be pleased if your own case is handled by or before the earliest. If your case drags beyond the latest, consider involving your U.S. Congressman's office.

Done!

Super! Be sure to report on your experience.

Reread the notice to yourself (I used to do this slowly and aloud, to calm myself) to confirm the correct location. Maybe WPB is overloaded and they're sharing appointments with Kendall. I wouldn't concern myself with codes, footnotes/footers, etc. -- only what the literal instructions say.

Exactly. See previous page of thread:

Take that, leftists. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOPS! New Poll of Venezuela's Neighbors Shows a SLIGHTLY Different Reaction to Maduro's Arrest Nicolas Maduro had barely been put into handcuffs a few days ago before leftists in America began protesting and demanding his release. We needn't tell anyone that most of those paid protesters shared a certain ... ahem ... paleness to their hue. Capitol Hill wasn't much better, with John Fetterman being just about the only Democrat who could see the water's edge and applaud the US military for the amazing operation they had pulled off. Naturally, the opinions of Venezuelans about the removal of a dictator who had destroyed their country were just a tad different from the woke AWFLs in Manhattan sipping their Starbucks as they screeched 'Stop the bombing!' (The 'bombing,' of course, had already stopped while they were still sleeping off their Franzia hangover.) But a new poll, taken in the immediate aftermath of the raid, shows [...] https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2026/01/07/oops-new-poll-of-venezuelas-neighbors-shows-a-slightly-different-reaction-to-maduros-arrest-n2423623

Yee-HAAAAA!

Everyone at some point probably thinks that USCIS is a bunch of evil sadists. Progress WILL occur -- have faith. Meanwhile, distract yourselves. Violent physical exercise is one way.
