The Most Amazing Two Weeks Ever

And a Little Background on Greenland

Not only can I not keep up, I am learning new and amazing things almost hourly. For example:

• Did you know that Canada was involved in the fentanyl smuggling into the United States, perhaps being a bigger player in this nefarious game than Mexico?

• Did you realize that Greenland has strategic military importance to the United States? Did you even know where Greenland was located?

• Did you know that China had ingratiated itself into Panama to the point that they were reaching their tentacles into controlling the Panama Canal?

• Did you know that USAID was a slush fund for dirty money? Did you know your tax dollars were paying for the creations of transgender coloring books for foreign countries that never asked for such gifts?

• Did you know how deeply Bernie Sanders was in the pocket of Big Pharma?

• Did you know Liz Warren is emotionally unstable?

• Did you remember that we have two American astronauts stranded in space with (until recently) no real plan to rescue them?

• Did you know there were Americans held hostage in Venezuela?

While we were busy with research into the DNC pipe bomber, the Los Angeles fires, and the drone attack on the East Coast, Trump stepped in and started to clean up major problems we did not even know we had.

Donald Trump is doing far more than we thought humanly possible and he’s doing it so fast we can’t keep up. Dan Bongino calls this strategy “rock ‘em sock ‘em robots” after the kids’ game. Others have said he’s “flooding the zone.” It’s like whack-a-mole. As soon as the Democrats swoon and clutch their pearls over one alleged outrage, Trump has hit them with 10 more. Democrats love to whine and complain and even riot, when the mood hits them, but how can they fight this war of endless grievances on 100 fronts? As Lyndon Baines Johnson once said in a different context, it’s like a Texas hailstorm: Can’t run, can’t hide, can’t make it stop. Imagine being a Democrat commie activist organizer (but I repeat myself).

• Are we going to picket today outside of the USAID offices?

• Or are we going to try to gum up the works at ICE headquarters?

• What about climate change, Democrats need a few people to glue themselves to highways! Quick, get a rent-a-mob ready!

• Maybe we better prioritze a march in front of hospitals that won’t trans kids? After all, isn’t this causing the deaths of little kids?

• And who has time to worry about abortion now? How can we shutter pro-life centers now, who has the time?

• Wait, and where are we going to find the folks willing to riot over the Panama Canal?

• How will Democrats manage to shut down the country over the imminent closing of the Department of Education? Somebody better page Randy Weingarten to find a couple of teachers to create a mob in DC

• Who is going to run the news cycle slamming Tulsi and Kash?

• And all those federal workers losing their jobs, oh my, there just aren’t enough outraged Democrats and Soros shills to go around!

Bravo. Meanwhile, I’ll admit: I can’t keep up, either.

When In Doubt, Talk About Stuff that Matters

So let’s take a moment to consider Greenland. Here are some things you may not know about the icy island. (The coldest temperature ever recorded, almost 70 degrees below 0 Fahrenheit was recorded in Greenland.)

• The capital of Greenland is Nuuk

• The northernmost piece of land on earth is in Greenland—it’s Kaffeeklubben Island. I don’t know about you but that name sounds goofy

• Denmark claims ancestral ties to Greenland, even though today 90% of Greenland residents are Inuit, well, technically they’re Kalaalit. They’re an indigenous people

• They speak their own language: Greelandic which is also called the Kalaalit Nunaat. And it’s the only official language there, so get out of here trying to make the official language Danish (they’ve tried)

• According to Scandinavian lore, Greenland was founded by Erik the Red who got booted out of Iceland. He took his family to Greenland, and, being a bit of a marketer, named the cold and inhospitable place “Greenland” in the hope of attracting other settlers

• Maybe that worked. The Thule people from Alaska migrated over to Greenland around 1000 AD and were a definite presence by 1300. They brought with them dog sleds and harpoons that revitalized the culture. This was considered a technological revolution

• Around the14th or 15th century, the few Scandanivians living in Greenland disappeared. This coincided to what historians call the “Little Ice Age” when the earth cooled by as much as 10 degrees. It is possible Greenland got too cold even for the Vikings

• By the 1600s, Denmark and Norway (which were one country at the time), claimed Greenland in a bit of imperialist fervor. By 1814, the unhappy marriage of Denmark and Norway broke up. After some squabbles, Denmark got Greenland in the custody settlement

• In 1940, the Nazis occupied Greenland but by 1941, the U.S. took over and booted them out. The U.S. stayed in Greenland until the end of the war in 1945. There are military bases of the U.S. there dating back to this period. So don’t say we never did anything for Greenland. The Danes didn’t rush to the aid of Greenland, Uncle Sam did

• In 1953, Greenland was absorbed as a “county” of Denmark and all Greenlanders became Danish citizens. The once-isolated culture was encourage to speak Danish so the people of Greenland made their own language the only official one

• The head of state of Greenland is King Frederik X, who is the king of Denmark

Now you might think Trump invented this sudden interest in Greenland on some kind of a weird whim. The fact is that the U.S. offered to purchase the island from Denmark for $100M way back in 1946. By 1951, Denmark and the U.S. agreed to the Greenland Defense Agreement which let the U.S. maintain military presence in Greenland; in return, the U.S. agreed to respect the sovereignty of Greenland.

Of course, the U.S. military presence in Greenland was up to a variety of strange things. Project Iceworm was looking at using Greenland to test nuclear missiles. This never worked out: it was too cold, the Danish government never agreed to the testing (and the U.S. never got far enough along to even seek their approval). In fact, it is said that the Denmark first learned about Project Iceworm in 1997. This indicates the intense interest Denmark has in Greenland.

The Common Market (remember them in the 1970s?) set up a European alliance for trade and defense. The Common Market led to Greenland receiving political autonomy and its own government, while still allowing Denmark to maintain actual control. The Danish presence created a kind of super-welfare state for the few residents of Greenland: there is extensive welfare, free healthcare, free education, and all of the rest. Despite the efforts of Denmark to pacify the indigeneous people into poverty, Greenlanders have progressively pushed for self rule. They got the right to run their own courts in 2009. Greenland is now starting to profit from the sale of its own resources (rather than sending the loot to Denmark—Vikings never change).

Trump is offering to buy Greenland or otherwise seek some sort of arrangement so that the United States links arms with the world’s largest non-continental island. The Danish government rebukes those claim, but Trump is forcing Denmark to make changes. Denmark has promised $2B to promote Greenland defense, which is $2B more than they ever gave before.

According to the pillar of the mainstream media, CBS (which also predicted a landslide victory for Kamala Harris in 2024), most Greenlanders do not want to join forces with the United States. In fact, the mainstream media is quick to point out that this is an unprecedented, preposterous, and illegal act by the President, when in reality, it’s none of those things. If anything, it is a chance to liberate an indigenous people and their native land currently under the thumb of an imperialist nation and to lead its people into newfound prosperity, greater safety, and independence.

You’d think lefties would love this. Instead, Trump has forced them to argue for the side of imperialist control, monarchy, and ongoing poverty of the indigeneous peoples. Sounds a little racist.

So, if the U.S. reaches some sort of deal with Greenland—whether it becomes part of the United States or a territory or something else…

What’s in it for Greenland?

• Greenland does not have its own military forces; it is prohibited from defending itself, since the military powerhouse of Denmark is there to defend them along with NATO. (Greenland is not part of NATO but Denmark is, so the presumption is that Denmark’s NATO alliance would extend to Greenland. I’m not sure it works that way.) Greenland would enjoy greater military defense and national security if it was part of the United States

• The military forces on the ground in Greenland are so meager than the 2020 list of what Denmark’s Arctic Command has given to them states: four ships, four helicopters, and six dogsled teams. Considering their strategic location and military importance, it might be time to upgrade

• In addition, under Trump and other Republicans, Greenland would be celebrated, welcomed, and equipped for the 21st century. Denmark’s policy of not-so-benign neglect would be over. The days of sending a few dogs to Greenland and calling it national defense would be over

• A partnership with the United States would give Greenland military security at very little cost to itself. This would also bring better infrastructure, improved technology, and jobs

• The median income in Greenland is not quite $30k. Surely these people deserve a little prosperity! This is a rich and strategic nation and most people earn their living fishing

What’s in it for the United States?

• Greenland holds a strategic position in terms of shipping and Arctic access and it is only feebly defended by Denmark which would likely surrender to Russia if a Russian soldier shook his fist at them. Denmark might surrender Greenland to China for a Temu gift card. Greenland is going to have to pick a partner and it won’t be Denmark. We want it to be us

• Greenland has been called a “security black hole” for America and is a vulnerable point. It may be a choke point for shipping lanes as well

• Enemies such as Russia can use the Giuk Gap (the water that separates Greenland from the NATO nations) to penetrate Northern European waters. That’s not speculation, they’ve done that before at least once in 2006. And what if they used this incursion to cut cables or pipelines?

• Greenland is inherently vulnerable to Russian invasion (look at a map) and Russians are the world’s experts at waging war in frozen conditions. Not only that, both Russia and China may be sweet-talking Greenland into uniting with them

• Poor nations like Greenland are vulnerable to lucrative trade deals or other options that China or Russia might offer them

• By virtue of its location, Greenland is not only an important part of U.S. air defense, it is important to Canada as well. I don’t know why Canada isn’t favoring this sort of alliance unless they are hoping that they can go full-commie and are hoping Greenland falls to Russia or China

• Greenland has interesting natural resources: oil, natural gas, rare earth minerals, and lots of those healthful cold-water fish. Two-thirds of the fresh water on earth are right now “on ice” in Greenland. If you think of fresh water as a resource, Greenland owns nearly all of it

• With the acquisition of Greenland, the U.S. becomes the second-largest nation on earth in terms of land mass. Oorah

• We’ve done this before—the Louisiana Purchase was about the same in terms of importance and land area. That worked out pretty sweet, didn’t it?

Why Trump is Smarter than We Are

Greenland is emerging as an important nation with rich natural resources, large land mass, and strategic location. Its small, indigenous, impoversihed population is pushing weakly toward some sort of independence. King Fred isn’t their idea of New Greenland. Denmark has ignored them the way liberals ignore all indigeneous people—throw some money at them, praise them to the skies, destroy their culture, give them massive LGBTQ rights, and then ignore them. (Greenland is renowned, strangely, for some of the most liberal LGBTQ freedoms in the world.)

Trump clearly would prefer to buy Greenland outright and make it a state, but he is a deal-maker. He’ll consider options.

I wonder if he may be moving toward some sort of “compact” or agreement that sets up strong military, economic, and political ties to the island but while granting Greenland sovereignty. Trump will likely push for major investments in Greenland, which it urgently needs—infrastructure and defense, mainly. Trump could also figure out ways to encourage American private investments in Greenland. He could figure out ways to get the median income up and better jobs to the people there. Living on the dole for generations has got to be boring.

It's interesting to me that Congress isn’t jumping all over this to promote it. The Democrats are still locked in their “Orange Man Bad” mode and cannot see the benefits of this program. Right now, Greenland is just a chilly welfare state of Denmark, neither sovereign nor a true colony, neglected, forgotten, and defenseless. America sees a win-win in partnering with this sleeping giant to create a part of the United States or a sovereign nation with strong and special ties to the United States.

So why are Democrats so imperialistic all of a sudden and want Greenland to stay under the rule of a Scandinavian monarch? Why are Democrats supporting a colonial power in oppressing a poor indigeneous population? Why would Democrats see value in preserving imperialism? Trump has forced the Democrats to either (a) agree he’s right or (b) promote monarchy, imperialism, and the impoverishment of an indigeneous people. They’ll pick B because they would rather be exposed as liars and hypocrites than admit Trump is smarter than they are.

Don’t feel bad, Democrats. President Donald J. Trump is smarter than we all are.

If it’s not us that wins the heart and soul (and land) of Greenland, it’ll be Russia or China. It’s time for Greenland to choose prosperity, defense, independence, and power.

MAGA. Make Greenland Great Again.
