We may all have lost some sleep in the wake of the U.S. President’s unfiltered, dangerously disheartening intention to take over the self-governing Danish territory of Greenland, apparently by force if necessary.
A U-Haul driver allegedly plowed into a massive crowd of protesters at an anti-Iran regime rally in Los Angeles on Sunday — injuring at least two people in a chaotic scene caught on video.
Authorities responded after the U-Haul truck drove into a sea of an estimated 3,000 people at the large demonstration in Westwood around 3:40 p.m. local time, an LAPD spokesperson told The Post.
The rental truck, which had the words “NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON’T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH” emblazoned on one side, was swarmed by protesters as tensions quickly escalated, according to harrowing footage obtained by KABC.

PLEASE pray hard for these victims. It isn’t looking good 🙏🏻

Content creators and influencers in the US are now increasingly dominating requests for O-1 work visas. Astoundingly, the number of O-1 visas granted each year increased by 50% between 2014 and 2024, as noted by recent reporting in the Financial Times.
These visas allow non-immigrants to work temporarily in the US. The O-1 category includes the O-1A, which is designated for individuals with extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business or athletics and the O-1B, reserved for those with “extraordinary ability or achievement”.
Germany is planning to set up a joint Nato operation in the Arctic in an effort to dissuade Donald Trump from annexing Greenland.
The “Arctic Sentry” mission to monitor threats in the region could be modelled on Nato’s “Baltic Sentry” operation, which started last year to monitor threats and protect infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, sources told Bloomberg.
Mr Trump has threatened to forcibly take control of the mineral-rich island that is a territory of Denmark, a Nato member.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has handed over to Fox News a chilling list of the most heinous criminal illegal aliens arrested during a recent surge operation in Minnesota.

In my book “The Next Civil War,” I wrote about how the American political system, in collapse, eventually reaches a post-policy phase. Domestically, the U.S. reached that phase long ago. Abortion is a case in point. The conservatives who orchestrated the fall of Roe v. Wade over the course of a generation have discovered that they have changed nothing: The overturning of the law they so hated has resulted in a rise, rather than a decline, in the number of abortions in the United States. Maybe they never cared about such outcomes in the first place. Maybe they just wanted to scream “life” at people. When politics can no longer affect change in people’s lives, when it leaves behind policy, it takes on an aesthetic function. It’s just for kicks.
A former MI6 chief has expressed support for Donald Trump as he believes the US president obtaining control of Greenland is in the interests of ‘European security’.
Sir Richard Dearlove, the ex-head of Britain’s intelligence agency, said there was a ‘strong argument’ for the US to have Greenland in a bid to deter Chinese threats.
The 80-year-old has urged Denmark to lease the territory to the Americans for a hundred years in a bid to strengthen security in Europe.
The enfeebling ambiguity of Canada as a government and a state among the nations of the world is underlined almost every week. The prime minister’s statement on the removal of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro was commendably critical of the former president and skirted international law questions in a way that permits Carney to claim to recognize them without aggravating our relations with the Trump administration with whom delicate trade negotiations are underway. All the while, agitation continues in Parliament for the criminalization of those who would justify the native residential school system or minimize the negative consequences of it.
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who just keeps racking up job titles, could have another one soon, President Trump hinted.
The commander-in-chief mused that Rubio, who once held four big administration jobs simultaneously and has been floated for more, could become president of Cuba, where his parents fled in the 1950s during the brutal Batista regime.
With Cuban ally Maduro ousted, Trump warns Havana to make a ‘deal’ before it’s too late
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday fired off another warning to the government of Cuba as the close ally of Venezuela braces for potential widespread unrest after Nicolás Maduro was deposed as Venezuela’s leader.
Cuba, a major beneficiary of Venezuelan oil, has now been cut off from those shipments as U.S. forces continue to seize tankers in an effort to control the production, refining and global distribution of the country’s oil products.

President Trump said the US would “do something with Greenland whether they like it or not”, following reports his administration was considering offering lump-sum payments of up to $100,000 to its citizens to persuade them to join the United States.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex the semi-autonomous Danish territory, which he claims is “needed” by the US for national security purposes and to prevent China or Russia from taking it.
The White House has declined to rule out the use of military force to acquire Greenland, but Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, has insisted the president’s “first option” remains a diplomatic alternative.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant policies are cruel – though sadly, no longer unusual – for a nation that once welcomed the “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” His administration is making the Emma Lazarus poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty reek with hypocrisy.
Mr. Trump’s zeal for mass deportation has subjected people to callous detention conditions, as U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE)’s dragnet captures thousands who aren’t the criminals he promised to expel. In many cases, they’re also not migrants or asylum seekers – and in some, including the killing by an ICE officer of Renee Nicole Macklin Good in a residential area in Minneapolis, the consequences of these raids have been deadly.
The video would be too long to share the entire list, but here’s nearly 5 minutes worth.

If you are in the country illegally you have committed a crime. Liberal indoctrination blinds its victims making them unable to think things through.
The Trump administration announced it is suspending $129m in federal benefit payments to Minnesota amid allegations of widespread fraud in the state.
The secretary of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins, shared a letter on Friday on social media that was addressed to Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, notifying them of the administration’s decision and citing investigations into alleged fraud conducted by local non-profits and businesses.
“Despite a staggering, wide-reaching fraud scandal, your administrations refuse to provide basic information or take common sense measures to stop fraud. The Trump administration refuses to allow such fraud to continue,” Rollins wrote.

Donald Trump’s desire to acquire Greenland has raised questions about the US’s commitment to NATO. The US maintains a major military presence in Germany — a vital part of its post-World War II national defense strategy.
Germany has been a vital part of the United States’ defense strategy in Europe since Allied forces occupied the country for 10 years following the end of World War II.
Though troop numbers have, of course, fallen significantly since those days, the US military still maintains a major presence in Germany, and over the intervening decades, American military communities have formed around a handful of German towns.
The total number of US military personnel has also risen significantly in the past few years, from fewer than 39,000 in 2019 to over 50,000 in 2024. The only other country where the US keeps a comparable number of overseas troops is Japan.
GOOGLE AI – Does the German public wish that America would close it’s military bases in Germany?
Desire for Withdrawal: Recent data indicates that approximately 47% of Germans support reducing the number of U.S. soldiers, and roughly 25% (one in four) would prefer a complete withdrawal of all American forces.
Geopolitical Shifts: The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has created a paradoxical situation where many Germans feel “unprotected” and “abandoned” by U.S. policy shifts, yet 58% oppose Germany taking a leading military role to replace the U.S..
As U.S. President Donald Trump insists his country needs Greenland for security purposes, Canada’s former top soldier is warning that a U.S. takeover of the area could spell the end of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
“We have no history of one NATO partner seizing territory from another,” said retired general Wayne Eyre, formerly Canada’s chief of the defence staff, in an interview with CBC’s The House. “I share the Danish assessment that yes, this could be the shattering of NATO, much to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s delight.”
I’m pretty sure “Shattering NATO” is a Feature not a Bug to Trump.
PRESIDENT Trump already has military confrontations with Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia and China. Does he also want one with the rest of Nato over Greenland?
Greenland is the world’s largest island, (just) contiguous with Canada, and geographically part of North America. It was colonised by Denmark in the tenth century but the Norse settlements, which farmed sheep and cattle, died out during the mini-ice age of the medieval period, not long before the rediscovery of America by Columbus.
