Guys, I figured out the real reason Trump wants to annex Greenland: It's one of the few high(er)-income places in the world with a greater pre-capita firearm mortality rate than the United States. #Americanexceptionalism

“I have stopped wars with tariffs by saying, ‘You guys want to fight, it’s great. But both of you are going to pay tariffs to the United States at 100 percent,’” Trump claimed on @MeetThePress. What wars, between which countries, and when? He did not say. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/u...
On Issue After Issue, Trump Promises the Moon. No Word on the Rocket.
The president-elect has made some of the most expansive campaign pledges in history. Some supporters fear that his bravado could undermine his ambitions.

Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.
Now that attacking birthright citizenship has become a Day 1 project for the incoming Trump admin, I dug out this rather comprehensive piece I wrote in 2011. It includes the source of Sen. Lindsay Graham’s emergence as the pitch man on this issue. politicalresearch.org/2011/03/01/c...

As we gawk at the $250M Musk spent elect Trump, take a guess how long it took him to “earn” it back in the market?
It took just 15 minutes. I'm not kidding... 15 minutes. According to Bloomberg, his net worth soared by $8B just today.
That’s billionaire math for you—and it’s all of our problem.
