Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It’s disgusting,” Blanche said Wednesday.

This is the first Trump affair I've ever been able to explain to my five-year-olds. "So someone else won a medal and he took it???" Outrage!

When Trump leaves office, he will face dozens of criminal counts across jurisdictions: 34 New York felony convictions, federal charges over classified documents and election interference, and potential reinstatement of Georgia election-related charges—roughly 70–80 counts total.

Acquiring Greenland is unnecessary. The 1951 U.S.–Denmark defense agreement already guarantees U.S. access, basing rights, and Arctic security through cooperation with Greenland. Partnership delivers stability and respects sovereignty without costly, provocative territorial ambitions.
