Trump to fly to Greenland?

The reports sound pretty wild out there but some, on places such as X, say President Trump is flying to Greenland tomorrow. I still haven't seen any confirmation after several hours of watching, so it might be eager beavers jumping the gun. However, it does seem pretty clear that Don Trump, Jr., Trump's oldest son, is making the trip -- and will hop off his plane tomorrow. According to Euractiv, a pan-European news site that is owned by the Brussels-based Mediahuis: Donald Trump Jr travelled to Greenland on Monday amid his father’s renewed interest in “ownership” of the island, and days after the leader of the autonomous territory of Denmark issued a push

Trump’s Arctic Policy Is No Folly
3 replies
On Sunday, December 22, President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his desire for America to take control of Greenland, saying it is an “absolute necessity.” The very next day, Greenland’s prime minister, Mute Egede, said the autonomous island, part of the Danish kingdom, was not for sale. But Trump’s plan—like that of William H. Seward, who, as secretary of state, oversaw the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867—is not without tremendous geopolitical advantage to America.
It’s all about gaining greater American control over the Arctic, where Russia and China are cooperating to build a strong presence. Fears that such cooperation will extend to include North Korea and Iran are not unfounded.
Bubonic plague is a severe infectious and potentially fatal disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is the most common form of plague and is primarily spread through the bite of infected fleas that typically live on rodents.
The disease, also known infamously as the Black Death, ravaged Europe from 1347 to 1351, causing between 75 million and 200 million deaths (which included about 50% of the total population in Europe at the time). Those horrifying numbers still grip the imagination.
Now, in an intriguing development, COVID-19 vaccine scientists have developed a new shot that would protect against Yersinia pestis infections.

How low can an unpresident go?
14 replies
I’m not sure that mass murderers Nidal Hasan and Shamsud-Din Jabbar are not more deserving of Presidential Medals of Freedom than George Soros. With the award to Soros, Biden has gone unspeakably low. E.E. Cummings (e.e. cummings) asked in one of his poems: “how numb can an unworld get?” He answered: “number.” By the same token, we might ask, “How low can an unpresident go?” Answer: I’m afraid we will find out before January 20 if we haven’t already.
Vice president-elect J.D. Vance is thinking along the same lines. (X) Soros was “in good company,” of course. (X) So let it be written. So let it be done.
The Final Biden Disgrace?
28 replies
We can’t be sure, since his alleged presidency still has 16 days to go. But Biden’s awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros is likely to stand as his final insult to America.
In honoring Soros, Biden said:
“Born into a Jewish family in Hungary, George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world,” reads the Soros citation.
Soros has been a relentless enemy of freedom throughout his adult life.
“His inspiring generosity reminds us all of our capacity and our obligation to stand up to the abuse of power and to be guardians of democracy and all people yearning to be
After the current terrorist attack in New Orleans, NBC has come up with a report from so-called experts blaming the right wing extremists for most attacks in the U.S. This NBC News article is meant to divert blame from the FBI and others for failing to block true terrorists while spending their time targeting Trump supporters.
According to the federal government, the main terror threat to the U.S. now is lone actors inspired by extremism ideology. Those ideologies range widely. The majority of attackers are on the far right, as in the 2022 Buffalo supermarket shooting. But sometimes, as in the New Orleans attack, the driving ideology is radical Islamism.
Trump says New York judge should be disbarred

after refusal to throw out hush money conviction 9 replies
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday called for Judge Juan Merchan to be disbarred after he rejected Trump's bid to toss out his conviction in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case.
"The judge should be disbarred!" Trump wrote in a lengthy TRUTH Social post. "This is why people, and companies, are FLEEING New York - A corrupt court system."
Judge Merchan on Friday rejected Trump's bid to toss out the conviction in his New York hush money trial. He is expected to be sentenced on Jan. 10.
The judge indicated Friday he was unlikely to impose jail time, and that he intends instead to sentence Trump to an "unconditional discharge."
The Last And The First

The Bible resonates across the ages, always having something to say to us no matter what may have changed in the world as a whole. It’s as true in 2025 as it ever has been.
So, we’ll contemplate the events of the past year or so through the lens of this passage from Matthew: “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
We begin with that human colossus overshadowing the entire globe: Donald Trump. We all know the story, even as it transmutes into legend, something that will be told, retold, analyzed, disparaged, and rekindled for generations to come.
Even as he reached out to his opposition, Trump,

They say one should never speak ill of the dead, so I won’t… kind of.
Instead, I’ll simply say about the death of Jimmy Carter that it marks the end of the narrative of the activist left-wing president.
When he was elected in 1976, Carter was the first of his kind (and not just in the sense of the Southern woman who said, “Well, it’s nice to have a president that don’t have a accent.”). A man running as a left-wing populist, an activist intent on taking advantage of the confusion and despondency left by the Nixon administration, a politician who intended to take the country

The infamous socialite and so-called “Catwoman” Jocelyn Wildenstein passed away Tuesday at age 84. A case study in extreme plastic surgery, she was also a canary in the coal mine for our cultural obsession with augmentation.
She should have been a cautionary tale, like Michael Jackson, of the dangers of going too far in the quest for perfection. But now, new generations of influencers and celebrities are spending just as much to have even more procedures in the same distorted pursuit. Unfortunately for Wildenstein, she was so far ahead of her time in terms of surgical advancements that she ended up looking botched — freakish, many would say —
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) There is a lot of reflection all over the place as we wind down the longest one-term presidency in the history of the United States of America. It seems as if Joe Biden has been in office for forty years, not four. As we learned on New Year's Day, it's not time to breathe a sigh of relief just yet.
During the bad drug trip that was the 2020 presidential election, Biden and his advocates kept saying that "decency" and "dignity" were on the ballot. Anyone who had followed Biden's career knew how laughable it was
The FBI's Oblivious Terror Agenda
2 replies
So busy has the FBI been these past four years rounding up the “terrorists” who “stormed” the Capitol on January 6, 2021 -- nearly 1600 and counting -- that they have not had time to track guys like New Orleans lifetaker Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
Make no mistake: From the Feds’ perspective, the J6ers were terrorists. To read the charging documents of those arrested shows just how much high-level time was frivolously spent identifying these citizens, charging them, arresting them, and making sure they were convicted. In the zero-sum game of law and order, the only ones who benefitted from the feds’ January 6 obsession were lethal clowns like Jabbar.

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill, also a former Democratic U.S. Senator, said on Monday’s “Deadline” that she felt “bitter” President-elect Donald Trump did not pay a “higher political price” for what he did on January 6.
McCaskill said, “Well, today was certainly a bittersweet day. And, candidly, I’m bitter. I mean, I’m bitter that a higher political price wasn’t paid for what Donald Trump did on January 6. Something is broken and we need to acknowledge that. And the other thing we have to keep front of mind, Nicolle, is that Donald Trump didn’t win 50 percent of the votes. This is an evenly divided country.
Hollywood actor Jon Cryer, who referred to himself as “somewhat stupidly woke,” told Bill Maher that Vice President Kamala lost the 2024 election to President-elect Donald Trump because Americans “hate black women.”
“They hate inflation, they hate riots, and they hate black women, and they hate trans people,” Cryer said of Americans, explaining why he believes Harris lost the 2024 presidential election.
“They don’t hate black–” Maher rebutted, but was cut off by Cryer, who was claiming that Republicans also spent millions of dollars “dehumanizing trans people.”
“We shouldn’t talk politics,” Maher replied,

The Biden DOJ on Monday revealed it is likely going to charge 200 more Trump supporters related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol protest.
More than 1,500 January 6ers – many nonviolent, first time offenders – have been charged by Merrick Garland’s DOJ in the last four years.
Biden’s DOJ hunted down MAGA grandmothers and other non-violent offenders and threw them in the DC gulag.
Merrick Garland’s prosecutors may unseal indictments at the last minute to derail Trump’s plans to pardon January 6 defendants.

As my colleague Mike Miller reported earlier Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday and proceeded to gaslight viewers about his—and the entire Democrat/Corrupt Media establishment's—efforts to conceal Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline. Schumer went into full shameless mode, and basically denied what he said even when host Kristen Welker played a clip of him saying it. But Chuck had more to say, and when asked to analyze the Democrats' electoral defeats in the November elections, when the GOP took control of the House, Senate, and Oval Office, he appeared to blame voters for being too stupid
The Biden administration released 11 Yemeni terrorists, who were captured after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, from Guantanamo Bay.
While the men had been “approved for transfer by national security officials” more than two years ago, they were approved to be transferred to Oman on Monday, according to NPR News.Oman reportedly “agreed to help resettle them and provide security monitoring” for the 11 prisoners, who are described as being “former al-Qaeda members,” according to records from the U.S. Department of Defense.
The outlet noted that the transfers of the prisoners were “originally scheduled to happen in October 2023,” but were paused “due to concerns” regarding

WASHINGTON — President Biden is moving to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters, a last-minute effort to block possible action by the incoming Trump administration to expand offshore drilling.
Biden, whose term expires in two weeks, said he is using authority under the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing.
“My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage
Bruce Fischer, the husband of U.S. Senator for Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, had an awkward exchange with Kamala Harris during the one-on-one ceremonial swearing-in of senators with their families.
Following the oath, Harris tells Senator Fischer congratulations and shakes her hand. She then turns to Bruce, who took part in the ceremony by holding the bible for his wife, and extends her hand.
Bruce declined the opportunity to shake hands with Harris, who awkwardly quipped, “I won’t bite.”
Fischer declined the handshake and put his hands in his pockets.

President Joe Biden will ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in more than 625 million acres of federal waters, the White House announced Monday, striking a final blow against domestic energy production just two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
The outgoing president is set to use his authority under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East Coast, West Coast, eastern Gulf of Mexico, and additional portions of the Northern Bering Sea in Alaska from future oil and gas leasing. Cast as a way to preserve the fishing and tourism industries in the affected states, these steps do not expire.
