Trump speaks at White House as Macron warns of shift to 'world without rules'

Greenland latest: Trump speaks at White House as Macron warns of shift to 'world without rules'

The US president earlier said Nato would be in "the ash heap of history" without him, after doubling down on his Greenland demands.

There’s an old expression: “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” Donald Trump didn’t just bite the hand that has been feeding the U.S.—he bit it off. The main problem for Trump and the economic ignoramuses in his cabinet is a complete lack of understanding of who is feeding whom. - Peter Schiff

Danish parliamentary member Rasmus Jarlov hopes US President Donald Trump's aide Stephen Miller is kept away from young women, because Miller has the “mentality of a rapist.”

Amid Trump's push for Greenland, Stephen Miller said Denmark is so tiny that it cannot defend its territory.

After being asked to comment on Stephen Miller's observation, Jarlov said, “I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying.”

How To Make Enemies and Not Influence People

President Trump fired off a flurry of social media posts overnight, sharing private text messages with world leaders, mocking America's European allies and reaffirming his insistence that the United States must seize control of Greenland, the semiautonomous Danish territory.

“There can be no going back,” Trump wrote in one of a series of posts on his Truth Social platform.

What if Europe would play as dirty as Trump does?

We could set a deadline: impeached Trump before March 31st or Europe will see all US bonds (which are about 60% of the US bonds globally)…?

The US dollar would drop to nowhere within hours.

Maine Knows ICE Is Dangerous

Officials in Maine on Tuesday said they would halt federal immigration officers from being granted undercover license plates as reports of statewide enforcement operations surface.

“The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles received a request for confidential, undercover Maine license plates from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. These requests in light of rumors of ICE deployment to Maine and abuses of power in Minnesota and elsewhere raise concerns,” Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said in a statement.

Apparently, The NEW New Jersey Governor Is Locked and Loaded

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) drew parallels between the current political moment and the American Revolution on Tuesday as she was sworn in as governor of the Garden State.

“The list of grievances in our Declaration of Independence included these charges against the king: He has refused his assent to laws. He has obstructed the administration of justice. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, and yes, he has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures,” Sherrill said in an inaugural address that underscored New Jersey’s role in the Revolutionary War.

I Imagine Somalis Hate Trump Too...

President Donald Trump went off on Somalia on Tuesday, saying the African country is “probably the worst” in the world and only good at one thing — “pirating ships.”

The president ripped Somalia and Somalis living in the U.S. during a special guest appearance in the White House press briefing room on Tuesday. Trump was there to celebrate his first year back in office — which he started off by flashing pictures of several “criminal illegal aliens” who have been arrested by ICE.

Trump later mentioned “halting” all refugee applications from Somalia as another win for his administration.

It takes 4 days to recover from losing 1 hr of sleep. So I should feel normal in about 83 years.

Scott Jennings Is A Smarmy Snake
Democratic strategist and CNN regular Julie Roginsky launched a ferocious public broadside against Scott Jennings, one of the network’s most prominent conservative voices, in an attack she admitted will “probably” get her “banned” from future appearances...“CNN once sold itself as the grown-up in the room. It was the network you turned to when the stakes got real. That reputation – earned over decades – was built on restraint, seriousness, and a basic respect for viewers,” she wrote. “Which is why CNN’s continued reliance on Scott Jennings is not just baffling, but corrosive to its brand.”

Apparently, The Justice Department Is Above The Law. How Convenient.

One month after the justice department’s congressionally mandated deadline to release all Jeffrey Epstein investigative files went unmet, victims’ advocates are expressing outrage over the department’s failure to comply with federal law.

Advocates have also indicated that they are not surprised, describing the justice department’s noncompliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act as yet another example of US officials failing to hold wrongdoers accountable in the ongoing saga.

Tortilla, broccoli, ‘a piece of chicken’: US agriculture secretary mocked for ‘money-saving’ meal

The US agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, is facing ridicule from congressional Democrats – among others – after claiming Americans can save money and have their meals align with new Department of Health and Human Services dietary guidelines by simply eating “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli”, “a corn tortilla” and “one other thing”.

One representative even called the remarks “a slap in the face to struggling working families”.

Kiss Trump's Butt And You'll Be OK...

The House Ethics Committee announced Friday afternoon that Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was under investigation by the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC).As pointed out by Business Insider’s Bryan Metzger, it is not yet known why Mace is being investigated. Considering the timing at the beginning of December, it may relate to an incident at the Charleston International Airport just over a month prior, in which she reportedly berated airport police. An internal investigation report accused Mace of overreacting to a miscommunication about her travel security, causing a “spectacle,” calling the police “f*cking idiots” and “f*cking incompetent.” Mace has disputed the allegations in the report, which she claimed was “falsified.”

President Donald Trump threatened to use tariffs to force support for the annexation of Greenland, which he maintains is critical for the United States’ “national security.”

“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland. We need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” Trump said at the White House on Friday, without providing specific details about the potential plan.
