  • U.S. purchase of Greenland also an option being discussed
  • Invasion would send shock waves through NATO
  • Trump’s drive to acquire Greenland ‘not going away’, official says
  • Some U.S. Republicans and Democrats push back against Greenland comments
WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) – The White House said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump is discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the U.S. military, in a revival of his ambition to control the strategic island despite European objections.
Trump sees acquiring Greenland as a U.S. national security priority necessary to “deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” the White House said in a statement.
“The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief’s disposal,” the White House said.
Greenland has repeatedly said it does not want to be part of the United States. Leaders from major European powers and Canada rallied behind the Arctic territory on Tuesday, saying it belongs to its people.
A U.S. military seizure of Greenland from a longtime ally, Denmark, would send shock waves through the NATO alliance and deepen the divide between Trump and European leaders.
The strong opposition has not deterred Trump from reviewing how to make Greenland a U.S. hub in an area where there is growing interest from Russia and China. Trump’s interest, initially voiced in 2019 during his first term in office, has been rekindled in recent days in the wake of the U.S. arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Emboldened by Maduro’s capture last weekend, Trump has voiced his belief that “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again,” and has put pressure on both Colombia and Cuba.
He has also started talking about Greenland again after putting it on the back burner for months.
A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said Trump and his advisers are discussing a variety of ways to acquire Greenland.

IS GREENLAND FOR SALE?

Those options include the outright U.S. purchase of Greenland or forming a Compact of Free Association with the territory, the official said. A COFA agreement would stop short of Trump’s ambition to make the island of 57,000 people a part of the United States.
The official did not provide a potential purchase price.
“Diplomacy is always the president’s first option with anything, and deal making. He loves deals. So if a good deal can be struck to acquire Greenland, that would definitely be his first instinct,” the official said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent administration threats against Greenland did not signal an imminent invasion and that the goal is to buy the island from Denmark during a classified briefing late on Monday for congressional leaders, two sources familiar with the briefing said.
The Wall Street Journal first reported Rubio’s comment.
Members of Congress, including some of Trump’s fellow Republicans, pushed back against the administration’s comments on Greenland, noting that NATO member Denmark has been a loyal U.S. ally.
“When Denmark and Greenland make it clear that Greenland is not for sale, the United States must honor its treaty obligations and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark,” Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, the co-chairs of the Senate NATO Observer Group, said in a statement.
Administration officials say the island is crucial to the U.S. due to its deposits of minerals important for high-tech and military applications. These resources remain untapped due to labor shortages, scarce infrastructure and other challenges.
“It’s not going away,” the official said about the president’s drive to acquire Greenland during his remaining three years in office.

‘Dictator’ Trump Floats Idea of Canceling Midterm Elections

OK this is a yellow journalism site and make their money on sensationalism and trying to get the most click as soon as possible, but often I have found them to be really spot on when it comes to the tRump admin.   So read with a grain of salt or the entire shaker but remember tRump keeps hinting at this all the time.   He clearly doesn’t want to leave office.  So he once did a riot insurrection to try to stay in power, what will he do now in his demented state of mind?  Hugs

The Social Psychology Behind the Trans Terrorism Panic

Randy in a post asked the question I think many ask here.  Why do I champion the trans community so forcefully?  Nan asked me a few years ago if I was feeling like I was trans, and no I am a cis gay male and happy in it.  Although if not for my past I would have liked to be free to explore a more feminine side of myself.  Ron and I do have trans people in our family but I have never met them.  The truth is in the page why I do this.  I want to give a voice to those that have no voice and right now the most targeted unfairly groups are trans people / kids and brown skinned people ICE is going after.   Why do I put so much effort in to giving them a voice?  Because as an abused little boy people in my town knew I was being abuse but no one gave me a voice, no one spoke up for me.  Hugs.

Sen. Mark Kelly and former Rep. Gabby Giffords speak out

I am not sure if I need to say this but this is a total fraud attack on a real US hero.   This is fascism up close and clear.  tRump and his people are scared of the truth and a drunken Christian Nazi nationalist is trying to demote a real US hero military man because he told the truth.  The truth every military person learns in what ever basic training they went through and often during their time in service.  Remember the Mỹ Lai massacre in Vietnam and the shit that followed?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_massacre .  Hugs

Mar-a-Lago Spa Would Send Teen Workers on House Calls to Jeffrey Epstein’s Mansion: Report

Full disclosure.  Ron was working for tRump at Mar-a-largo as his nighttime butler and nighttime house supervisor.  He knew all about this and told me of it.   Sadly he couldn’t do anything about it other than give the doctor and staff comfort and support.

How does Denmark own Greenland, Stephen Miller? By the same treaty the US owns the US Virgin Islands

The US officially acknowledged Denmark’s rights 

On 4 August 1916, Denmark’s rights to Greenland were confirmed by the United States, as part of a deal that facilitated the American purchase of the Danish West Indies. That deal, the Treaty of the Danish West Indies was signed at the Biltmore Hotel in New York City. The US got the Danish West Indies, now known as the US Virgin Islands. Denmark got US$25,000,000 in gold and the United States’ recognition of Denmark’s rights over Greenland. [Those rights had been in some dispute with Norway because Greenland had been a colony of  the monarchy of Denmark and Norway which broke apart in 1814.]

Some later history from Mikkel Runge Olesen:

“After the Second World War, the United Nations pushed for decolonization in Greenland. In 1953, the former colony was incorporated into Denmark and granted two seats in the Danish Parliament. In 1979, Greenland achieved Home Rule, which included the formation of the Greenlandic Parliament, and it gained self-rule in 2009 through the passage of a law that included a ‘blueprint’ for seeking independence. The 2009 law firmly established that the decision to go for independence from Denmark would now rest with the Greenlandic people.”

Israeli Influencer Uses Starving Gaza Children to Make Funny Video

Hi all.  I hate to keep posting such negative awful stuff in the new year but what I always wanted to do with this blog is to give a voice to those that don’t have one.  It is hard to read all these news articles but please remember while we sit comfortably in our homes there are others struggling to simply survive.  The more we learn about these people the more we might be able to help.  This shows how many of the Israeli population are complicit and simply don’t care about the suffering of the Palestinians.   This is why I say it is not just the Israeli government but the countries media leading the population into compliance and hate for the Palestinian people.   Remember they stormed the offices of the justice department of a judge trying to hold IDF soldiers to account for violently raping a Palestinian man causing life threatening injuries.   Those IDF soldiers when on TV later to brag about what they did.    Thanks for all who read / watch and add your voice to the conversation.   Best wishes and hugs.  Scottie

Israeli Influencer Uses Starving Gaza Children to Make Funny Video

Israeli Influencer Uses Starving Gaza Children to Make Funny Video

 

Occupied Palestine (QNN)- An Israeli social media creator mocked Palestinian suffering by using footage of starving children lining up for a hot meal in Gaza during Israel’s blockade on aid in a funny video.

Morya Apple captioned the video: “Me on a normal day when I reach three in the afternoon without putting anything in my mouth” versus “Me on a fast day at 10 in the morning”.  

 

 

Videos of Israeli content creators making fun of Palestinians suffering without water, food and electricity have gone viral over the past two years during the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.

Last year, an Israeli Tiktok trend showed Israeli settlers prank-calling family members, pretending to seek donations for Palestinian children, to mock their suffering in Gaza.
