I was working on this Greenland piece all day and didn't see the video of people barging into a church until now.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Yes, I know, some of you on Bluesky will think it was awesome, but in the fight for public opinion? Stupid stupid stupid.
Also: Stupid.

"So what does he say? He says he's going to put a 10% cap on interest rates. You know what he hasn't done? Put a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. There's all sorts of things that come out of the man's mouth."
Too often we talk about what he's talking about, instead of what he's doing.

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well.
I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

The United States should not be a “predator force.” We are not brute animals scrabbling in the dirt for sustenance, we are human beings who can stand side by side with friends and allies.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.
