The only reason I can think of why the U.S. would want control of Greenland is that they are planning to abandon NATO and Europe to Putin and don't want to let it go too. That and they would then have Canada surrounded on 3 sides.

It's okay for the U.S. to sell advanced chips to China, and for China to sell us rare earth minerals, but no country in "our" hemisphere can trade with whom they choose?

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.
Sen. Kelly statement: Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve. Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
Post from Julie K Brown that says Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)?

Why does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”

Why should Trump’s ballroom vanity project proceed? “National security.”

Why is Trump killing the wind energy industry? “National security.”

Why does Trump hate the New York Times? “National security.”

The pattern is ... not subtle.
For the White House, ‘national security’ is becoming the answer to every question
Donald Trump and his team have a go-to tactic intended to shut down debate over their goals. It's not working.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

1. Stop committing war crimes, or
2. Try to destroy the ICC and international rule of law?

Obviously 2. Sorry I asked. I don’t know what got into me.

Here is why MAGA-aligned actors, fascist sympathizers, pro-Kremlin agitators, and other hostile online personas / troll farms are engaging in a coordinated effort to support Elon Musk’s attack on the EU, the Digital Services Act, and European democracy. spookyconnections.com/2025/12/06/e...
In the United States, critics argue that a robust EU framework imposes additional constraints on US technology companies and, by extension, reduces D.C.s capacity to influence and control the global information environment in line with its own priorities. In Russia and Israel, European regulatory assertiveness is sometimes interpreted as an attempt to extend European norms into international digital spaces in ways that may not align with local political or security interests Governments that have historically engaged in influence operations or information campaigns aimed at European audiences have a clear strategic interest in a regulatory environment that remains fragmented or weakly enforced. The Digital Services Act was designed in part to close the gaps that such actors have exploited for more than a decade. By requiring platforms to authenticate identities, disclose political advertising and provide researchers with access to key data, the DSA reduces the opportunities for covert influence to operate undetected. The USA, Israel, and Russia have long used digital platforms to shape public sentiment in Europe, a conclusion supported by multiple intelligence assessments from EU member states and independent research institutions. These efforts typically rely on anonymity, networked amplification and the strategic use of advertising tools. A platform without strong verification mechanisms or robust ad transparency enables these techniques to function with far less risk of exposure. When enforcement of these laws fails, the conditions that support maligned covert influence operations remains intact. In practical terms, reduced regulatory pressure preserves an environment in which malignant actors can shape democratic discourse for their own benefit, at a relatively low cost and with limited risk of exposure.

BREAKING: Trump’s Ukraine ‘Ultimatum/Peace Deal' Is a $2 Trillion Cash Grab for Trump, Putin and Their Pals
So it turns out Donald Trump’s big plan to “end” the Russia‑Ukraine war isn’t really about peace. It’s about getting rich off the rubble and the bones of Ukraine's war dead.
