Philly sports fans being anti SANTA CLAUS would suggest they wouldn't take kindly to this...
I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

Europe used to make these comments on territorial integrity in relation to threats of Soviet or Russian aggression.
That it has to release a statement like this in relation to US threats against a European state is simply staggering.

I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.
Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

Setting aside that the US has pulled support and Europe has made sure Ukraine has stayed upright, this is threatening Europe with hurting Ukraine.

WELKER: Is Greenland or NATO more vital to natl security?
BESSENT: That's obviously a false choice
W: Not to European leaders
B: They will come around & understand they need to be under the US security umbrella. What would happen in Ukraine if the US pulled support? The whole thing would collapse

Niall Ferguson: I was wrong to call Donald Trump a would-be tyrant
The historian was once a critic of the president-elect, but now says he is glad that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris — and has already visited him at Mar-a-Lago

The Mad King is having a tantrum because NATO allies have beefed up the security of Greenland (which he is apparently concerned about) and thinks more tariffs that his people will have to pay will help him steal territory from a heretofore NATO ally?
Is that about right?

Trump, with a straight face, on Denmark's relationship with Greenland:
“The fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean that they own the land."
Remind me, sir, how the US came into being...? Wasn't there some kind of boat... landing on the east coast?

Currently reading William Cooper Jnr's epic biography of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
I genuinely believe he's less of a traitor to the US and its values than JD Vance.
And he literally broke the US apart.

A uniformed, masked agent of the state executed a woman. This is what authoritarianism looks like, and it goes hand in hand with anti immigration policies. Remember that when political leaders attempt to conceal their rabid racism behind ‘legitimate concerns’.

When the US Vice President can go on TV and create a new reality, and his idiotic base believe him, how do you combat that?
We SAW what happened. But that doesn't matter, because he's rewriting history to suit his narrative.

Vance: "She was trying to ram this guy with her car, he shot back, he defended himself, he's already been seriously wounded in operations before. And everybody that is repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis, you should be ashamed of yourselves"

The US government is now freely killing people at sea, in other lands, and on its own streets.
It is difficult to see what more is needed for Congress and the Supreme Court to exercise their constitutional duty to check and balance what is now a rogue state abroad and a gangster state at home.

The BBC, in its live text, cravenly reports Kristi Noem's blatant lie about the shooting and says the Mayor of Minneapolis "disputes" those lies.
The video of the murder is on social media. You can see the evidence.
It is not in dispute. It is a lie.
To report otherwise is cowardly.
