(R) Don Bacon, posted that Trumps tariffs and threats towards Greenland are “foolish policy” - what Putin would do.
“Just on the weird chance that he’s serious about invading, I want to let him know it’ll probably be the end of his presidency, It’s immoral and we’re going to stand up against it.”

ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!
ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers
“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next?
How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort?
Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.

Trump and Steven Miller, are threatening, “we need Greenland one way or another.” We have had a treaty to build military installations for 70 years! The Danish PM askes why if they need these bases so much have they closed 30 of them? Why not just build instead of threatening another country?

Exactly, and this is the treaty of 1951 with them. This is more smoke and chaos to divert from troubles at home and lack of Epstein files.
Denmark/Greenland will let us do anything we want militarily to protect our interests in Greenland with current and abandoned US military bases. We can move any assets we want there. So all the arguments about security are BS. Trump wants to OWN Greenland, not protect it.

FOX NEWS: Do you think the affordability argument is a 'hoax,' as the president has said?
MIKE JOHNSON: Well, no. What the president is referring to when he calls it a hoax is the Democrats' spin. It is Bidenomics that got us into this mess. That's why prices are up.

Being “disrespectful of law enforcement” is not a crime, and is not something that American citizens should be summarily executed for by masked men in unmarked cars.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.
