Just met w/ senior officials from Denmark & Greenland.

When Trump says we need Greenland for security, remember: they already allow US & NATO bases there & don’t oppose additional measures.

This is a land grab by Trump. Don't be shocked if he tries to rename it Trump-land.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.

'The study found that when time is described as a length—a 10-year-old whiskey—people tend to perceive it as longer than when the same age is described using a year, such as a whiskey from 2016. The researchers call this phenomenon the "year-length effect."'

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 The Israeli army was placed on maximum alert and was fully ready for a US strike last night. The Israeli Air Force was activated during the night for a possible escalation, but it seemed the US called off the attack in the last minute, Walla reports.
