It’s a mistake to think Trump Greenland madness is about US national security. We are not going to homeport naval units or station bombers in Greenland. It’s a sensor package not a war platform. This is minerals and ego. Crazy. Destructive.

Humiliating. She faced death or torture to confront the dictatorship. Stayed in Venezuela. Trump handed the government to the criminal Venezuelan regime not the democratic opposition. He just wants the oil.

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."
"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Lawless. Completely.
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

Moskowitz on Noem: "Is she hiding her face like her ICE agents now? By the way - is this what the $800b went to? Every day we see her after some new tragedy, she's wearing a different outfit with a different hat. She looks ridiculous. She deserves to be removed from her job, & if not impeached."

Rubio. Very intelligent. Experienced. Educated. Opportunist. Lust for power. Despised Trump publicly. No principles. CBS?
This is what state-regime media looks like.
CBS News ran a segment gushing over Rubio — calling this his “moment" and saying: “Florida, once an American punchline, has become a leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you! You are the ultimate Florida Man!”

Zero sense in moving US naval assets or permanently basing combat aircraft in Greenland. Ice 2 miles thick and 80% of land. Weather. Ports. Zero roads. Oil/gas/minerals extraction dubious. Greenland a SENSOR, a tripwire… not a base. 200 US Space Force troops there.

Brilliant US military operation to seize Maduro. Good outcome. Trump says we will run Venezuela. Seize the oil. No Congressional authorization. An element of gangster think. Pres Petro of Colombia “better watch his ass.” Incredible.

Trump threatens military action against Colombia. Unilateral military power unfettered by Congress? Foreign policy by personal whim? Bellicose rule by decree. Very strange. Gangster talk.
Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

Gen. Barry McCaffrey on seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker: “It’s an enormous escalation in an ongoing attempt to run Maduro out of office and to gain access to 300 million barrels of oil reserves of Venezuela.”

American military preparedness and vigilance essential in an increasingly dangerous and violent world. Our allies increasingly no longer trust us with good reason.
Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.
