The U.S Government is now threatening fellow NATO members with 10% tariffs, rising to 25% on 1st June, if we don’t hand Greenland to the mad Emperor in the White House.
I wonder if most Americans even know this is happening?
Under no circumstances should we cave to this economic warfare.

It’s now easy to see in real time how the Nazi’s were able to do what they did.
You often wondered how the people of Germany allowed it.
Now we can see.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Things I don’t need but sound very cool…
TV backlighting bridges the gap between watching at home and on a big screen at a theater. Our Wirecutter tech editor highly recommends it: "The effect is kind of magical."
I Knew TV Backlighting Was Cool. I Didn’t Expect It to Be Such a Powerful Upgrade.
Did I need active TV backlighting? No. Do I love having active TV backlighting as a home-theater buff? Don’t get me started.
