The News May Be Treason

Little Donny Do-Little has now thumped his chest and called for news reporting contrary to his lies as treason…..

US President Donald Trump late Sunday floated “treason” charges against media outlets that he accused of reporting false information about the Iran war as the human and economic costs of his illegal military assault continued to mount.

In a tirade posted to his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that media outlets he accused of circulating “fake news” should “be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information.” The maximum penalty for treason in the US is death.

Trump specifically called out the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal for reporting over the weekend that “five US Air Force refueling planes were struck and damaged on the ground at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia.” Citing two unnamed US officials, the Journal noted that “the tankers were hit during an Iranian missile strike on the Saudi base,” and that the planes were “damaged but not fully destroyed and are being repaired.”

The US president called the story “false reporting” without substantively refuting its content. Trump wrote that four of the refueling planes are “in service” and one “will soon be flying the skies”—none of which is inconsistent with the Journal’s reporting.

Trump, who regularly uses his social media platform to circulate AI-generated videos and photos, also complained about an AI video purportedly showing the USS Abraham Lincoln on fire. The president claimed the video was “distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets,” without offering any examples. AFP published a fact-check of the video last week, deeming it “fabricated footage.”

Trump’s latest attack on the US media came after his Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, threatened Saturday to pull the broadcasting licenses of media outlets he accused of “running hoaxes and news distortions.” Carr did not provide specific examples.

The US president said Sunday that he was “thrilled to see” Carr’s threat, railing against “Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic” news organizations.

What’s next on Donny’s stupid list to be called ‘treason’?

The News Will Get More Unreliable

This post is for the many people that turn to CNN for their daily news….you might want to rethink that decision.

It is no secret that I do not trust many of the MSM to tell us peasants what is really happening in the country and the world.

Now CNN will most likely enter into the Trump sphere of bullshit.

Concerns are mounting about the state of the US media landscape now that it looks increasingly likely that Paramount Skydance—a company controlled by the son of billionaire Larry Ellison, a donor to President Donald Trump—will succeed in its bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

One day after Netflix announced that it was dropping its previously accepted bid to buy Warner, many critics demanded that antitrust laws be invoked to block the Paramount-Warner merger from going through.

Alvaro Bedoya, former commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission, warned that the Ellison family could soon use their control over vast swaths of US media properties to engage in mass censorship, and he pointed to their decisions to cancel Stephen Colbert’s program and to refuse to air an interview with Democratic US Senate candidate James Talarico.

“One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok,” he wrote in a social media post. “They’ll buy [Warner Bros. Discovery] with $24 billion in money from the Saudis, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert… and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.”

Craig Aaron, co-CEO of Free Press, said the proposed Paramount-Warner merger was “even worse” than the proposed Netflix-Warner merger.

“This deal endangers our democracy by giving a family of pliant billionaires even more control of vast swaths of our news coverage, TV stations, and movie studios,” Aaron said. “Allowing more mergers in the already highly concentrated movie business will harm filmmakers and industry workers when Paramount delivers on its promise to make deep cuts to please its Wall Street backers.”

Little Donny already has FOX News and OAN in his pocket and now that will expand.

The morons are already slobbering over this eventuality…..Pistol Pete has his say….

During a briefing on the Iran war Friday, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth ventured into unexpected territory: ownership of CNN. “The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better,” Hegseth said in complaining about the network’s war coverage, reports the Hill. Ellison’s Paramount Skydance is poised to acquire CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. Hegseth’s remark is likely to amplify anxiety inside CNN and across the industry that Ellison—who is friends with President Trump—could steer the channel’s journalism in a direction more favorable to the White House, per the New York Times.

Ellison has publicly pledged to protect CNN’s newsroom from political interference. “Editorial independence will absolutely be maintained,” he said in a CNBC interview last week. “It is maintained at CBS; it will be maintained at CNN.” Ellison bought CBS last year and installed Bari Weiss, a high-profile critic of legacy media, as editor in chief of CBS News. Weiss has faced internal and external pushback, particularly after delaying a 60 Minutes piece critical of the Trump administration.

“Fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war’s impact on the Strait of Hormuz,” Hegseth said Friday. “Patently ridiculous, of course. For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This is always what they do. … CNN doesn’t think we thought of that. It’s a fundamentally unserious report.” The former Fox News host also complained about negative TV news banners. “What should the banner read instead? How about Iran increasingly desperate?  Because they are.”

So maybe look for another news source that is reliable because CNN just does not make the grade anymore.

Display Your Star

Remember in the dark days of Germany when jews had to wear the star of david….well it seems some strange GOPer has a similar idea.

There are many good reasons why Republicans are so eager to introduce voter ID laws, and it’s not because they’re on a moral crusade to preserve the integrity of democracy. In fact, quite the opposite.

Voter ID requirements have been repeatedly found to disproportionately affect minorities and those on limited or no incomes. These are voters considered more likely to vote Democrat, so laws requiring Americans to bring ID to the polls are a way for Republicans to reduce their opponents’ vote.

On top of that, there’s practically no evidence to support a wave of voter fraud in the first place. Bear in mind that Trump has spent years insisting that the 2020 election was stolen, and multiple agencies and MAGA devotees have devoted time and money to poring over every detail. The result?

Now, in disquieting news, South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds has told Fox News that Americans will be required to display a “little yellow star” to be able to cast a vote:

https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/republican-senator-says-americans-will-need-to-display-little-yellow-star-to-officials-to-be-allowed-to-vote/

They use the cover lie that they are protecting the sanctity of voting and preventing all the voter fraud from before.

This is for all those MAGA mental  midgets that believe in the voter fraud scam…..this from the person the Donny hired….

President Donald Trump has called on the federal government to “nationalize the voting” across the United States, baselessly claiming that major cities in swing states are conducting fraudulent elections. But one expert who Trump once hired to find proof of voter fraud says it’s almost nonexistent.

In a Wednesday interview on CNN, data specialist Ken Block said Trump’s rationale to have the federal government assume control of elections didn’t hold water. He also said the Trump administration’s recent raid of an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia harkened back to his prior work with the Trump 2020 campaign.

“The Trump campaign in 2020 hired me to look for evidence of voter fraud. And they asked me to review about 20 different claims of voter fraud that came into the campaign from everywhere around the world,” Block said. “Apparently, every one of the 20 claims they asked me to evaluate, I was able to show that they were false. And we did find small amounts of voter fraud, but never did we find enough voter fraud to have been able to change the outcome of any of the swing state elections in 2020.”

Block went on to say that despite Trump’s insistence that there was election fraud in Georgia in 2020, no evidence has ever surfaced proving him correct. He reminded viewers that some Trump associates – like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — were never able to substantiate any of their claims in court when asked to prove supposed fraud in the Peach State.

Got that you mindless boobs….the claims of voter fraud were lies!

That Elusive Leader

Ever since the idiots in the admin have been trying to make antifa some sort of organization and to do this they need a ‘leader’ to point to if they want their accusations to appear legitimate….so far all they have done is show their ignorance.

This saga began in earnest back in Missouri with the death of a black man and the protests that followed….the government could not believe that the American people could be so audacious as to protest that massive…..so they began to look for a lie to blame for the actions taken and they came upon a little known (at that time) of a group that were already known for their confrontation….the antifa.

Thus the government set about turning this loose group of protesters into this international organization that thrived on confrontation.

Then came the Goon Platoon (ICE) into LA and the protests grew bigger and louder and the government hit upon turning antifa into the excuse for the protests and confrontation.

While trying to build their case they came upon a book written by Mark Bray, the Antifa Handbook, and he became the ‘leader’ of this group.  The problem was that the book was a history book of the anti-fascist movement not a how to book….but that did not matter they kept pushing Bray as the ‘leader’ of the group….it got so bad Bray had to take his wife and kids and go overseas to avoid all the hate that the government had generated.

Now the government had to look for a new ‘leader’ that they could blame for all the unrest…..and they finally tagged another individual as the mastermind of antifa….

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified 29-year-old Portland, Oregon resident Chandler Patey as “the leader of Antifa,” according to internal DHS documents leaked to journalist Kenneth Klippenstein. Klippenstein notes that Patey and other “Antifa protestors” identified in the federal documents demonstrate the shoddy reasoning the federal government will use to just to label any protestor as a domestic terrorist.

The DHS decided that Patey leads Antifa, which Trump has designated as a “domestic terrorist organization,” because Patey has been “seen in many videos advocating the principles of [anti-fascism]” and because he allows protestors to use his bathroom and medical supplies to rinse off tear gas inflicted by federal agents at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainment facility near his downtown Portland apartment.

While Patey also provides medical equipment and gas mask filters that protestors might need after federal agents attack them for expressing their First Amendment rights, Fox News host Laura Ingraham and other right-wing media commentators have used these as a basis to claim that Patey is running an ominous-sounding “Antifa safehouse.”

In reality, Antifa is a decentralized political ideology with autonomous, local groups but no formal leaders. Antifa activists primarily oppose institutional fascism and racism in government.

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/02/quick-hit-has-identified-the-leader-of-its-a-29-year-old-who-helps-tear-gassed-protestors/

So the lies begin again on some poor person that was a face in the crowd.

My biggest bitch is the term ‘domestic terrorist organization’…..organization implies an organized group with a leader, dues, headquarters, etc….antifa has NONE of these….more lies and bullshit from the sub-par mind of the Donny brigade.

STOP!  believing the bullshit….these are people that have had enough of racism and the fascist policies of Donny and his group of garden slugs.

You should be worried about the direction and the tactics of this government…..if not then you are NOT a true American.

We Finally Broke “De Los Soles’ Cartel

For months Donny and  his pack of rabid d’bags have been selling the idea that drugs coming from Venezuela were controlled by the cartel known as ‘De Los Soles’ and now we have arrested its ‘leader’.

There is a slight problem here…..

One of the central claims the Trump administration has used to justify the overthrow of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and describe his government as “illegitimate” is the allegation that he is the leader of a multinational narco-terrorist organization known as “Cartel de los Soles.”

But now that the Department of Justice (DOJ) must prove the allegation in court following the US military’s kidnapping of Maduro last week, prosecutors are backing off the claim and, in effect, admitting what critics had long protested: that Cartel de los Soles is not, in fact, an organization at all.

In the months leading up to the illegal US invasion that plucked Maduro from power, the Treasury Department and State Department both designated Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization.

That allegation originated from a 2020 grand jury indictment of Maduro, drafted by the DOJ during Trump’s first term. The document described the Cartel de los Soles as a “Venezuelan drug-trafficking organization comprised of high-ranking Venezuelan officials.”

As the New York Times explained back in November:

There’s a big catch with the impression created by the Trump administration’s narrative: Cartel de los Soles is not a literal organization, according to a range of specialists in Latin American criminal and narcotics issues, from think-tank analysts to former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials.

It is instead a figure of speech in Venezuela, dating back to the 1990s, for Venezuelan military officials corrupted by drug money, they say. The term, which means “Cartel of the Suns,” is a mocking invocation of the suns Venezuelan generals wear to denote their rank, like American ones wear stars.

It is for that reason that the DEA’s annual National Drug Threat Assessment, which describes major trafficking organizations in detail, has never mentioned Cartel de los Soles. Nor has the annual “World Drug Report“ by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

https://www.commondreams.org/news/doj-cartel-de-los-soles-not-real

There you go more lies from the liar in chief…..but he is not alone….this was an excuse fabricated to justify any action…..kinda like the yellow cake uranium in Iraq as a more recent lie to action.

When are we gonna stop believe bullshit to justify military action?

Who’s next on the hit list of the nazi twats in DC?

Now when can we expect a drop in drug traffic?  (Hint do not hold your breath)

****Side question–Why is Venezuela sending 50 million barrels of oil to the US?

President Trump says Venezuela is about to send a gusher of oil north—and he’ll personally control the cash flow. In a Truth Social post Tuesday evening, Trump claimed interim authorities in the country will transfer 30 million to 50 million barrels of “High Quality, Sanctioned Oil” to the US, to be sold at market prices, CNBC reports.

“This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!” Trump wrote. “I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately. It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States. “

Seriously?  The money controlled by Donny?  How much of that will make into his personal accounts?

Why are they ‘transferring’ this oil?

Sounds to me like the US is taking this oil….and how will it make it’s way back to the people of Venezuela?

This smells like more Donny bullshit!

The “Communist” Comes To Town

Today is the big day….the new mayor of NYC comes to DC to meet with Donny-Do-Little…..if you recall shortly after he was elected Donny demanded that he ‘be nice’ (seriously the most rude and insulting person in government demands others ‘be nice’….he is hilarious)

President Trump said late Wednesday that the long-awaited meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani would happen in Washington later this week, setting up an in-person clash between the political polar opposites who for months have antagonized each other from afar, the AP reports. The sit-down, which Trump said on social media would take place Friday in the Oval Office, could possibly represent a detente of sorts between the Republican president and Democratic rising star, as Trump has since Mamdani’s win moved toward acceptance of Mamdani’s central, winning campaign issue of affordability. Calling Mamdani by his full name—and putting the mayor-elect’s middle name of Kwame in quotation marks—Trump posted Wednesday night that Mamdani had asked for the meeting, promising “Further details to follow!”

The day before his visit that idiot press secretary, Leavitt, has stated for the record that Mamdani is a communist and he will come to town…

Geez you people are idiots!

I have explained this numerous times and idiots keep scratching their ass and repeating bullshit….one more time for the morons out there…

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) was formed in 1982 as a bridge between capitalism and socialism….it is neither socialism or communism….is that simple enough?

Experts, however, contend that the DSA’s platform is far removed from the socialism seen in the Soviet Union or Cuba, and in fact, they argue it actually aims to build off America’s Democratic principles.

“Communists want to do away with capitalism altogether. They don’t want any private enterprise. They don’t want any private means of production. And they want a whole world run by people like that,” Michael Kazin, a history professor at Georgetown University, told ABC News. “Democratic socialists are willing to have themselves voted out of power. They believe that once you have a democratic socialist society, people will like that society, but if they don’t want to keep it, then they can go back to a more capitalist society.”

(abcnews.com)

Is that clear now?

So after years of LYING to the public who is afraid of those democratic socialists?

Apparently not many any more…..for years now the DSA has been making headway into the government of the cities, states and nationally….so apparently only morons are afraid.

They are reforming the DNC…..which has needed reforming since the 1990s….but will they succeed?

In conclusion these people are NOT communists or even a true socialist….learn what you are talking about or STFU.

The Fallacious World Of Oz

NO this is not some cheesy knock-off or the some bad TV movie that relates to the beloved classic ‘Wizard of Oz”…..it is a look at the world that that hack Dr. Oz brings to the country.

Oz-zie boy is throwing the well worn MAGA BS about the billions of dollars wasted on immigrants….

Oz’s release said that California had spent $1.3 billion in federal taxpayer dollars to provide Medicaid coverage to illegal immigrants. Washington, D.C., spent more than $2 million in federal money on its Medicaid for illegal immigrants, and Oregon spent $5.4 million.

Illinois, which spent more than $629 million from its state budget on illegal immigrant healthcare last year, used almost $30 million in federal taxpayer funds to provide the illegal immigrant population Medicaid.

CMS’s findings come as the issue of federal funding for illegal immigrant healthcare has taken center stage in the federal government shutdown that started Oct. 1.

Of course these figures were to be found in the Washington Examiner….

Now let’s look at some real figures and not the lies of the Donny group….

Emergency Medicaid expenditures accounted for only a fraction of overall Medicaid spending, a cross-sectional analysis showed.

Among 38 states and Washington, D.C., emergency Medicaid expenditures accounted for a mean of 0.4% of total Medicaid spending, at a mean cost of $9.63 per resident, with some variability across states, reported Patricia Mae Santos, MD, of the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University in Atlanta, and colleagues.

States with larger undocumented populations spent more on emergency Medicaid, accounting for a mean of 0.9% of state Medicaid expenditures among states with the highest undocumented population share compared with 0.1% among states with the lowest undocumented population.

“The main takeaway is that emergency Medicaid is quite a microscopic percentage of the Medicaid budget. It’s not really a driver of Medicaid costs and Medicaid spending,” Leo Cuello, an attorney and research professor at the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy’s Center for Children and Families in Washington, D.C., told MedPage Today.

For this analysis, the authors relied on financial management report data for fiscal year 2022 from the Medicaid Budget and Expenditure System. They also looked to other publicly available datasets to measure covariates by state, including Medicaid expansion status, the share of the population in each state that is undocumented, its census region, and political ideology index.

The study represents the “first and most contemporary analysis” of emergency Medicaid spending on both the national and state levels, Santos said.

This Is How We Make The Case

I see that the US has hit yet another ‘drug’ boat….and the story is the same…..but just like all our other conflicts in the last 50 years there is a process for making the case for the actions the admin desires….

US/Israel rules of war: build a lie, then slaughter civilians from the air.

There’s a widespread belief that every lie contains a kernel of truth. If it was ever the case it is not any more. The belief is a potent tool in the hands of an imaginative propagandist who is capable of inventing a lie from whole cloth. Such is the nature of the lie about Venezuela being a source of drugs. It is a lie that has been invented in front of us, in real time. For while the US has been trying to destroy Venezuela for decades, it has now become even less honest about it than it used to be.

We live in an age of the whole cloth type of lie. Joe Biden talked about seeing photos of beheaded babies that he did not, in fact, see. Tony Blinken solemnly told the story of murderers eating lunch with a dead family that never existed. Eli Beer said he saw a baby in an oven that, like Biden, he did not, in fact, see. Yossi Landau reported seeing beheaded babies that he did not, in fact, see. Direct, specific, detailed, lies.

Why they told these lies is obvious enough: to justify crimes, the enemy must be dastardly and to justify genocide, only the most lurid tales are worth telling. American media has a long and sordid history of atrocity propaganda. Specific lies are told to create specific outcomes.

In the American arsenal of lies, the “Venezuela drugs” lie is perhaps most analogous to the “Hamas uses human shields” lie. For if “Venezuela drugs” is true, any kind of “war on drugs” action is justified, the same way “Hamas uses human shields” opens up all the world to any kind of genocidal act. Any human is killable as a “Hamas human shield”, and any act of theft or warfare can be justified in fighting the drugs.

The US and Israel have learned that they can act without moral or legal restraint and have found the political costs of committing genocide containable, the levels of dissent for bringing wars to new countries (Yemen, Iran, Qatar…) bearable. Harris and Emersberger have argued recently that it is very difficult to imagine a way to avoid escalating attacks on Venezuela, however unlikely they may be to lead to “regime change”.

Post-2023 propaganda is so brazen that at times it seems it isn’t even intended to be believed by its own adherents. We are not sure of the value of debunking it. But we do so in the hope that by watching how they make a story from nothing, we can learn something about how they plan to do propaganda in their new genocidal world.

Doing what we do best.

Then there is the new proposal for the AUMF which could be a disaster waiting to happen….

A draft proposal to authorize the use of U.S. military force against drug cartels is currently floating around Congress and the White House, according to a recent New York Times report. Although an official version of the proposal has yet to be released, publicly available information suggests that it could be used to justify U.S. military intervention in at least 60 countries.

The U.S.-led “War on Drugs” has escalated rapidly over the last month: after the White House signed a secret directive authorizing attacks on Latin American drug cartels, the U.S. built up its military presence in the region and began conducting a series of deadly airstrikes on alleged drug-smuggling civilian boats in the international waters of the Caribbean. Human Rights Watch called the strikes “unlawful extrajudicial killings.”

Is Inflation Under Control?

If one does their own shopping I do not think they will see it as under control.

But Donny tells us that he has “licked inflation”…..but sadly that is another of his wild accusations that just does not hole water…..

President Donald Trump has declared inflation “solved” as Americans are paying more for everyday goods like gas and groceries.

“I’ve already solved inflation,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Friday morning. “Costs are down.”

The president went on to boast, “I’ve solved just about every problem.”

But statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor show Americans are paying more—in some cases far more—at the pump and at the checkout line.

“Inflation inched higher last month as Americans closed out the summer paying more for both groceries and gasoline,” NPR reported on Thursday. “Consumer prices in August were up 2.9% from a year ago, according to a report Thursday from the Labor Department. That’s a sharper annual increase than the previous month, when inflation was clocked at 2.7%.”

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed to lower prices “on day one.”

Yet, due in part to his sweeping tariffs, “Virtually all major grocery categories are now more expensive than they were a year ago, some substantially so,” according to Axios. “This was the biggest month-over-month increase since August 2022, the tail end of a year of huge monthly increases in grocery prices.

Overall, the cost of groceries in August was up 0.6% over July’s prices, and the price of gas jumped 1.9% in just one month, according to NPR.

(alternet.org)

“He has solved almost every problem?

Which ones are those?

My wallet does not agree with the outright lie…..how about yours?

The inflation report was not the only troubling economic indicator, however.

The BLS also revealed that jobless claims in the US jumped to 263,000 last week, which was significantly higher than the 235,000 claims expected by economists. Joe Weisenthal, the co-host of the Bloomberg “Odd Lots” podcast, noted that this was the highest total for weekly jobless claims in nearly four years.

Long also flagged the worrying jobless claims number and predicted that it was just the start of a further downturn in the US economy.

“‘Cost cutting’ is back among CEOs and that is corporate speak for more layoffs,” she said. “It’s going to be a rough few months ahead as the tariffs impacts work their way through the economy. Americans will experience higher prices and (likely) more layoffs.”

(commondreams.org)

Now the Fed sees this rise in inflation and word is they will lower interest rates at their next meeting to try and stave off any thoughts of a recession.

But not to worry Donny has all this well in hand.

Denmark Is Pissed!

Surely everyone has heard the news about Donny’s desire to annex Greenland….and at times he has said by any means necessary….well there is a new wrinkle in this pipe dream….

Denmark has summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen after a Danish broadcaster reported that Americans have been quietly working to stoke pro-US sentiment and push for Greenland’s secession from Denmark. According to Danish public broadcaster DR, “at least three” unnamed US operatives were allegedly trying to infiltrate Greenland’s society, build networks of useful contacts, and rally support for breaking away from Denmark, reports the Guardian. DR was not able to determine who these Americans were allegedly working for, though it alleged the men, whose names it chose to withhold, had been known to have ties to President Trump.

Danish intelligence previously warned that Greenland, which enjoys autonomy but remains part of Denmark, was being subjected to “various kinds of influence campaigns.” Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen had this to say on Wednesday, per ABC News:

  • “We are aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark. It is therefore not surprising if we experience outside attempts to influence the future of the kingdom in the time ahead. Any attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom will of course be unacceptable. In that light, I have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the US chargé d’affaires for a meeting at the ministry.”

The BBC notes the US does not have an ambassador in Denmark at this time; charge d’affaires Mark Stroh is currently the top US diplomat in Copenhagen. A meeting is expected to take place later Wednesday, per the Guardian.

And then the next day the White House and its lying brats responded…..

A spokesperson for the US State Department confirms that Charge d’Affaires Mark Stroh, the United States’ top diplomat in Denmark, has met up with that country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had a “productive conversation” over Danish intel reports that US operatives were running “influence campaigns” to get Greenland to secede from Denmark, reports the BBC. The US’ main take on the topic, however, per a White House official: “We think the Danes need to calm down.” As for the rumors on those unnamed US operatives, the State Dept. rep noted, per the AP: “The US government does not control or direct the actions of private citizens.” They added that the Trump administration “[respects] the right of the people of Greenland to determine their own future.”

A little advice for Denmark…..do not trust anything Trump or his Merry Band of Sycophants have to say….they are ALL notorious liars.

Ignore at your peril….they are trying to come for you.
