Haha. Good find. I've been humming this to myself over the last few days...

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

And certainly nothing from ancient history! You know like 20 years ago or something.

I‘m sure it would be argued that way, using some sort of “emergency top double secret probationary need to know how dare you question me” whatever but declaring (starting) war is not within a President‘s powers.

Because until his public support goes, lower the few remaining non-MAGA GOP will do nothing. It isn’t there quite yet, but it is much closer. Until then they are following General James Wolfe‘s orders.

Apologies, forgot the important part: Thank you

Very good article.
I do wonder if things have “accelerated” enough to garner enough public support to push it (them) thru. But with just what’s happened over the last week, maybe we shouldn’t wait to find out either.

They’ve been doing everything they can to get him to Jan ‘27 so Vance can have a chance at 2 full terms aren’t they?

And just like the photos and video of Chauvin choking Floyd there’s video of Ross unholstering before the vehicle moved (in addition to the provocation)

A return to pre DHS modernized departments makes since (assuming-a big one) it’s implementation isn’t overly politicized.

You are probably correct. His public stance on ICE has evolved as circumstances have changed.
January 18, 2026 at 7:04 PM
you are right though he doesn’t address defunding (in either interview really, just pass over the question)
January 18, 2026 at 6:11 PM
That clip is on YouTube shorts and Facebook reels.
January 18, 2026 at 6:08 PM
Me too! Haha. In the interview he talks about how the phrase “abolish ice“ is not a great political statement but that remaking ice (regardless of name) in to a law following force might make sense. Paraphrased. He notes that we’ve always had immigration enforcement but this (ice) is not it.

This is pretty consistent with what he said on the Podcast So Im not sure what you mean?
January 18, 2026 at 5:59 PM
Oh and design things to make engineers crazy too. 😊

Elites=Congress?
January 17, 2026 at 4:39 PM
I am an architect, we like weird non standard solutions like RPN.
January 17, 2026 at 4:35 PM
Only Congress (according to the Supreme Court) has the standing to stop it. Media doesn’t report it that way. The GOP is afraid to do anything.
January 17, 2026 at 4:24 PM
Implication was only Congress

The real question is how long would it take for me to remember how to use it? Good thing I still have the instructions.
January 17, 2026 at 4:04 PM
Hmmm, me going thru my desk drawers looking for that ancient HP20c. Gotta be around here somewhere
January 17, 2026 at 3:57 PM
I was just expanding on what you wrote for your readers to remember. It’s surprising how often that important part we forgot.
