Why did God not want Eve to taste the Apple?

Because he was male.

What could it have looked like if God was female and Eve had been allowed to indulge?

WARNING: It may get a little hot under the collar.
As I said before, now comes the socialist part of National Socialism:

Canadian news outlet Globe and Mail reports that the Canadian army has developed plans for a US invasion.

Bessent asked whether there's anything in the EU arsenal of retaliation he should be worried about.
"No."

Treasury secretary Bessent advises Europeans to sit back and take a deep breath, i.e. bend over and be raped, then say thank you, saying no to America only making it worse, says the gay rapist.
Putin said something similar about Ukraine being like a beautiful girl that just needs to let it happen.

Treasuries took a leg down again today, the 5% red line on 10yr paper in sight once more.
If SCOTUS pulls the tariffs, US gov is on the hook for a couple of hundred billion in refunds, to be borrowed.
That could break the camel's back on top of Denmark and PIMCO liquidating, and who knows who else.
January 20, 2026 at 3:34 PM
Denmark is liquidating US treasuries.
Supposedly not for political reasons.
Oh well, it's worth trying, some stupid folks may actually buy it. Those who buy it may be the same ones buying the treasuries. 🤣

Pimco, the largest bondholder in the world, disinvests from the US. This spells serious trouble for US debt markets that can trigger a financial crisis.

If Greenland were to become a state as disconnected geographically as Alaska, then the "Canada question" (Nazi speak) acquires a new urgency, a national security risk as its territory is in the way of unfettered access.
The great unification with the brother people as the "Endlösung".
January 20, 2026 at 10:55 AM
I wonder why the press doesn't mention at all a key motivation to own Greenland.
There is a wing among tech libertarians, represented by Thiel, who want a virgin territory to develop an entirely new frontier societal structure, one of unlimited competition under a CEO-type of leader, like Singapore

That only emboldens the quintessential double-downer. If it gets there, he will try to end Congress. Psychopaths like him welcome this fight, see this as a chance to feed the nimbus of omnipotence.
Republicans in the Senate know damn well this needs to stop and Trump needs to go.

Denmark has dispatched 200 additional combat soldiers to Greenland, for "exercises" to deter Russia (if you believe it). They will stay for years.
Recall: a Danish 1952 law gives the army a standing order to instantly shoot back without further consultation in the event of an attack.
