Why Greenland Is Vital

It would not only protect the American homeland in ways most critics haven't even considered but would also position us for unprecedented influence in the 21st-century geopolitical chessboard. - Kevin McCullough

When news first broke in 2019 that the Trump administration was exploring the idea of purchasing Greenland—or at least forging a strategic alliance—the chattering classes nearly herniated themselves from laughter...

Because here’s the truth: Greenland is vital...

Whether through acquisition or alliance, securing Greenland would be a masterstroke of long-term strategic planning. 

It would not only protect the American homeland in ways most critics haven't even considered but would also position us for unprecedented influence in the 21st-century geopolitical chessboard.

• Let’s start with geography...Whoever controls Greenland controls the Arctic’s front door—and that door is opening fast...
• Now consider the security implications...As Russia ramps up its military presence in the Arctic, building new bases and deploying icebreakers, America cannot afford to be a passive observer. And while China...
• Then there's the issue of trade. As climate conditions shift, the Arctic is becoming navigable in ways that were impossible even a decade ago. The fabled “Northern Sea Route” could shorten shipping time between Asia and Europe by up to 40%....

So, let’s stop pretending this idea was some off-the-wall, hairbrained scheme. 

The real embarrassment is that we didn’t think of it sooner...

ELON: U.S. INSTITUTE OF PEACE TRIED TO DELETE TALIBAN FUNDING RECORDS—DOGE RECOVERED IT.

The data reportedly includes detailed financial transfers tied to groups in Afghanistan and Iraq. - Clarice Feldman 

Elon says the U.S. Institute of Peace deleted 1TB of financial data linking them to funding Taliban and Iraqi leadership—but DOGE wasn’t fooled.
According to Elon, the agency attempted to scrub the records, but DOGE engineers recovered the entire archive thanks to “their shocking incompetence with tech.”
The data reportedly includes detailed financial transfers tied to groups in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The names government things are always the opposite of what they actually do. "United States Institute of Peace"? Of course it was full of treason, warmongering, and terrorism.
The level of corruption in our government is beyond even our imagination.

Global cyberattackers want to paralyze our freedom of movement | Blaze Media: 

Securing transportation infrastructure isn’t merely economically prudent — it’s an urgent national security imperative. President Trump's second term provides a crucial opportunity to decisively address these vulnerabilities. Ports, railways, and space launch systems are not simply economic assets; they are strategic arteries our adversaries will target to incapacitate America’s response capabilities during crises.

America must prioritize embedding cybersecurity resilience in every aspect of transportation infrastructure modernization. Allowing short-term efficiencies to override cybersecurity leaves America dangerously exposed exactly when strength and reliability are most crucial.

Rep. DeBoyer: MEDC hiding SOAR corporate welfare failures by renegotiating contracts - The Midwesterner

Records show the Michigan Business Development Program, launched in 2012, has provided 271 businesses a total of $289.8 million in incentives  - Victor Skinner

So far, the agency headed by appointees of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has recovered roughly $18.3 million, though the MEDC is shielding other failures by renegotiating some of its biggest taxpayer-funded incentives when companies fail to meet hiring and investment metrics, according to The Detroit News.

“I think it’s important to recognize, instead of acknowledging failures, they just renegotiate the contract on what they’re able to accomplish,” state Rep. Jay DeBoyer, the Clay Twp. Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, told the news site. “Imagine doing that with your kid when it comes to doing their chores.”

Sixty-two or 23% of those deals were canceled or are in repayment because grantees did not fulfill their requirements, while another 21 are in default or have declared bankruptcy. 

Sixty-seven, or about a quarter, were contracted last year, according to records reviewed by The News...

250 Years Ago Alexander Hamilton Told Us How to Handle These Anti-Trump Judges

250 Years Ago Alexander Hamilton Told Us How to Handle These Anti-Trump Judges: 

The Federalist No. 78 clearly and concisely stated the limits that the founders imagined for the judiciary. Anyone who alleges an original intent that goes beyond that is simply fooling themselves — and original intent is what matters. For anti-Trumpers wondering why the administration’s response isn’t a “crisis” of the rule of law by any stretch of the imagination, perhaps try looking into some Hamilton that isn’t “My Shot.”

Historical Climate Cycles Expose ‘Green’ Energy Scams

“ New York Harbor had frozen in 1780, allowing people to walk from Manhattan to Staten Island.” -
- Larry Bell 

First, let’s all recognize that Earth’s climate has been changing back and forth from warmer to cooler ever since our planet first developed a primordial atmosphere about four billion years ago.

• Ice Ages have covered the Northern Hemisphere four times over the past 400,000 years, each lasting about 90,000 years, separated by relatively brief “interglacial periods” like expected for our current one that began about 12,000 years ago.
• The Northern Hemisphere was as warm or warmer than now about 2,000 years ago during the “Roman Warm Period” when Italians wore fashionably cool sandals and togas, and again even more recently about a thousand years ago (the Medieval Warm Period) when the Viking Erik the Red founded the first European settlement at Hvalsey in Greenland, where they raised sheep and goats on coastal grasslands for about 400 years until temperatures became too cold again, and they left.
• After warming returned, the Northern Hemisphere cooled again all by itself during a so-called “Little Ice Age” (not recognized as a real one) between about 1350 and 1850, ending shortly after George Washington’s troops suffered bitter 1777 winter temperatures at Valley Forge and Napoleon’s endured a frigid 1812 retreat from Moscow...

Indivisible Takes Down Web Page Offering $200 for Tesla Protests

Event Reimbursement Form: Indivisible Project can reimburse groups for eligible expenses associated with your Musk or Us actions, up to $200 per group, per congressional recess - Brett T.

Earlier this month, Elon Musk claimed that an investigation had found five groups funded by ActBlue to organize Tesla "protests." Musk named Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the Indivisible Project. 

Speaking of Indivisible, it seems as though they've taken down a webpage offering compensation for protesting.

Davis also noted: Here is the fatal flaw with DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg's order: Even if these designated foreign terrorists are entitled to individual court review before their deportation, which is disputed, the DC court is not the proper court. Judge Boasberg did not, and does not, have the power to do what he is purporting to do. For this reason alone, everything he is doing is lawless. But it is much worse; it is also dangerous.

Instapundit - ‘Is France still a democracy?’ -  Ed Driscoll

BREAKING: Marine Le Pen Found Guilty of Embezzlement, Barred From Running for President.

‘Is France still a democracy?’...

Related: Has French democracy been ‘executed?’ “There may be other more immediate repercussions. Le Pen’s party could join the left in bringing a motion of no confidence in Bayrou’s coalition government. They did it in December, to topple Michel Barnier, but this year she has been more conciliatory. Not now. Le Pen may be gone, but her party will probably benefit from this judgement. The anger of her 11 million voters is likely to go from simmering to seething in the days and weeks ahead.  

Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, reacted to the verdict by tweeting ‘Je Suis Marine.’ France may not have heard the last of that battle cry.”

No wonder the left will stop at nothing!-----Musk Training DOGE’s Sights on ‘Strangely Wealthy’ Members of Congress: ‘How’d They Get $20 Million?’ By Rusty Weiss

Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), indicated he will be turning his crew's attention to members of Congress who have amassed fortunes despite having base salaries under $200,000.

• "A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress - where I just can't - I'm trying to connect the dots of how did they become rich," he told those in attendance.
• "How'd they get $20 million if they're earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that," added Musk. 
• "We're gonna try to figure it out and certainly stop it from happening."

Why Judge Boasberg’s Deportation Order Is Legally Invalid

He failed to impose a bond on plaintiffs as the law requires. Other injunctions have the same deficiency. -Daniel Huff 

The Trump administration is locked in a standoff with Judge James Boasberg over deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act...

Yet the administration seems to be overlooking a critical legal tool—injunction bonds.

• The argument is rock solid: Under Rule 65(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party seeking an injunction needs to put up a bond to cover its costs. These bonds aren’t optional. They’re mandatory, unless the government is seeking an injunction. That means Judge Boasberg’s order, and dozens like it, may not be valid at all.

President Trump identified this legal off-ramp in a March 11 memorandum directing the Justice Department to demand bonds in future injunction cases. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley echoed the call. 

• But the Justice Department hasn’t pressed the issue, either in Judge Boasberg’s courtroom or other high-stakes cases in which activist judges have blocked major policies without requiring plaintiffs to put a single dollar at risk...

Teaching History Without Identity Politics - Intellectual Takeout

The Nation’s Report Card, which finds only 24 percent of American high school seniors proficient in civics, while only 12 percent of them are proficient in American history. - Annie Holmquist

• Only things might not be as rosy as they seem. 
• “Organizers present the Roadmap as bipartisan and balanced, but if you scan the details, you’ll find it relentlessly focuses on group identity, access and exclusion, agency and dissent, and diversity,” Bauerlein explains. 
• While such reforms may be well-meaning, the fact is that “progressives will outnumber conservatives 50 to 1” when the new curriculum is implemented.
• In other words, while one may start out with the goal of teaching about George Washington, John Adams, and other figures in Western civilization, such efforts will soon be replaced by seeing everything from the supposedly repressed perspectives of minorities, women, or sexually divergent individuals...

According to numerous reports, HHS secretary RFK Jr. is planning to push for the banning of Big Pharma television advertisements. The United States is one of the only countries that permits direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, and Kennedy has long condemned it.

If the reports are true and he’s successful at banning pharmaceutical advertising on TV, it would spark “a massive societal earthquake,” says Liz Wheeler.

Moderate Hispanics, Young Men, and TikTok – Surprising Takeaways From a Democratic Pollster on Why Trump Won

In a recent New York Times deep dive, David Shor, a data scientist from the Democratic-leaning consulting firm Blue Rose Research, just dropped some hard-hitting facts about the 2024 election and why Democrats lost. - Manzanita Miller 

Shor’s analysis – backed by his firm’s autopsy of voter shifts during the last election – validate many of the longstanding demographic shifts Americans for Limited Government Foundation has warned about among young, minority, and independent voters...

• The largest takeaway from Shor’s research – which is a finding Americans for Limited Government Foundation has been hammering home for years – is that a great number of new Trump supporters have come from outside the typical GOP tent.
• Young voters – especially men – moderate Hispanics and Blacks, and voters who skip the nightly news and get their information from decentralized sources contributed significantly to President Donald Trump’s win in 2024....
