Greenland Belongs With America: Strategic Imperative, Mineral Riches, and Ending Danish Atrocities

Like many Americans, I initially laughed off President Trumps's 'threats' to purchase or take over Greenland. I figured it was his typical bluster. - justmindy
Until I saw some people I respect on X talk about it and realized there might be something to the talk. So, I started watching documentaries, listening to podcasts and reading primary sources. 

Titillating stuff, for sure. 

• I have come to the conclusion America should absolutely purchase or take over or do whatever President Trump sees fit. 
• We should have owned it all along.

This is a great primer thread to get started for those who know nothing about Greenland...

The Democrat Treasurer Allegedly Ripped Off an Old Lady.

The Media Ignored the Scandal by Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff  - Michigan Enjoyer@mich_enjoyer

Traci Kornak, the former treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party, was hauled into probate court this week, suspected of embezzling from her ward, a brain-damaged elderly woman. 

I caught Kornak feasting on the woman’s finances nearly four years ago and have written many stories about it since. 

I’ve made TV appearances. 

• I even lost my newspaper job over it. 
• After my first story was published, Attorney General Dana Nessel, a close friend of Kornak, opened a superficial investigation that was no investigation at all. 
•  Her detectives made a few cursory phone calls before Nessel prodded them into shutting down the criminal case. 

And Kornak, it is alleged, continued to suck the old woman dry...

Legal Expert Jonathan Turley Explains Why Indictment Contents Should Terrify Maduro

Legal Expert Jonathan Turley Explains Why Indictment Contents Should Terrify Maduro: 

The indictment wastes little time in calling out Maduro’s alleged criminal enterprise.

“For over 25 years, leaders of Venezuela have abused their positions of public trust and corrupted once-legitimate institutions to import tons of cocaine into the United States,” it states. “NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, the defendant, is at the forefront of that corruption and has partnered with his co-conspirators to use his illegally obtained authority and the institutions he corroded to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States.

Senior Dem Breaks Ranks to Praise Trump's Capture of 'Illegitimate' Socialist Dictator Maduro

Senior Dem Breaks Ranks to Praise Trump's Capture of 'Illegitimate' Socialist Dictator Maduro: 

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a South Florida Democrat with a sizable Venezuelan population in her district, bucked her party Saturday to praise President Donald Trump’s capture of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Wasserman Schultz said the U.S. military operation removing Maduro from power is “welcome news” for the millions of Venezuelans living in exile, though she argued Congress should have been informed. Conversely, a chorus of congressional Democrats immediately slammed the successful military operation as illegal and contrary to American interests.

Must read!-----This wasn’t about protecting someone. It wasn’t about canceling someone. It was about standards. Tom Izzo held the line.

Paul Davis stood up and owned it — publicly, without excuses. Why that still matters - Spartans Illustrated - David Harns

• Tom Izzo and Paul Davis handled a bad moment the right way

...The incident spread quickly on both social media and on news sites across the country.

• In my opinion, though, what followed over the next 24 hours mattered far more than what caused it.

Tom Izzo has always preached family. 

He has always preached accountability. 

When given an opportunity out of the blue to put those values into action, he didn't hesitate.
This wasn’t about excusing behavior. 

It wasn’t about minimizing consequences. 

• It was about accountability — real, uncomfortable, face-to-face accountability — and the standards Michigan State claims to value actually being enforced.

Tom Izzo didn’t dodge it. 

Paul Davis didn’t hide from it. 

• And together, they showed what responsibility looks like when it’s taken seriously...
• ...At the same time, Izzo refused to do what modern outrage cycles often demand: turn a mistake into a permanent indictment of character...

He said, "The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file."
