Wording found in the 1916 Treaty of the Danish West Indies could help justify an American claim to Greenland.
It turns out that, in order to establish sovereignty over the world’s largest island, President Trump may not have to purchase Greenland after all. The American explorer Charles Francis Hall claimed this vast land mass (or at least the northern third) for the United States on September 5, 1871.
Conservatives from all over the USA, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is here! The Trump Spending Freeze—an act of executive frugality so seismic, so chilling, that it has sent shivers down the spines of bureaucrats from Washington to the farthest corners of the federal empire.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is taking further action against the 50 former intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop was “part of a Russian disinformation campaign,” instructing agencies to also ban those individuals from stepping foot in secure U.S. government facilities, according to a memo obtained by The Daily Wire.

President Donald J. Trump issued a new directive to federal workers, which shows the man is serious about reducing the federal workforce by that 10 percent figure. He ordered federal workers to nix their pronoun games from their emails. No more of this he/she/ze/they nonsense. Trump already caused an uproar among this coddled workforce when he ordered them back to office work. He offered them a lofty severance package of 7-9 months pay if they wished to quit, though they must decide next week.
The Left is outraged because Trump made promises during the campaign and now has the audacity to actually deliver on those promises.
The Left is agog at the audacity of Donald Trump. They are because Trump is doing as president just what he promised to do as a candidate. This astounds the Left because their candidates always run to the center and then govern to the left. Since their candidates never do what they promise, they cannot come to grips with someone who does. The contrast may be no less jarring than Trump’s policies themselves.
President Trump has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to making America great again by proposing a return to the economic policies that once made the United States the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, namely ending the federal income tax.
WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 56 senior officials in the top U.S. aid and development agency were placed on leave Monday amid an investigation into an alleged effort to thwart President Donald Trump’s orders.
A current official and a former official at the U.S. Agency for International Development confirmed the reason given for the move Monday. Both spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.
Several hundred contractors based in Washington and elsewhere also were laid off, the officials said.
President Donald Trump has said he thinks the US will gain control of Greenland, underlining his persistent claim on the Arctic island, on one occasion pointing to “economic security” as the reason. While the autonomous Danish territory has been quick to say it isn’t for sale, its vast and mostly untapped mineral resources are in great demand.

WASHINGTON—A top Trump-appointed prosecutor has opened an internal review of the Justice Department’s decision to charge hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with felony obstruction offenses in connection with the Capitol attack, according to people familiar with the matter.
Acting U.S. attorney Ed Martin in Washington, D.C., asked prosecutors in an email Monday to turn over files, documents, notes, emails and other information related to the cases, the people said, which included charges against some of the most violent rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The most amusing, and alarming, moment of Trump’s first week was a phone call to Copenhagen in which Trump said he’d like to buy Greenland in the style of a mafia boss who just took an interest in your casino. The bravado is the point. His strategy is to demand everything and see what he can get.
The don issued 28 executive orders and revoked 78 of Joe Biden’s. He’s abolishing programmes; he’s put diversity staff on leave. He’ll face resistance – turns out many Alaskans don’t want to rename their mountain “McKinley”, because they’re the very people who asked to call it “Denali” – but the Left is temporarily disorientated. Steve Bannon crows that there’s just “too much” for a liberal media to cover or for Democrats to oppose: Trump is “overwhelming the system.”

It’s time to tell them that you don’t care.

On Saturday evening, as his plane headed from Las Vegas to Miami during a whirlwind, coast-to-coast first trip since returning to office, US President Donald Trump made his way to the back of Air Force One to talk to gathered reporters.
On the in-flight television screens, Fox News was back, having replaced CNN – and the president, fresh from a week in which he upended America’s government and ripped up its immigration policies, was feeling confident.
“We’re getting A-pluses on the work done – and also the amount of work done,” he said in response to a question from the BBC.

The era of ‘humanitarian’ interventionism wrought chaos and misery. Good riddance.
Some of President Donald Trump’s typically bombastic foreign-policy pronouncements have sounded a little, well, imperialist. He has breezily suggested turning Canada into America’s 51st state, talked up taking the Panama Canal back under US control and spoken frequently of buying Greenland from Denmark, even going so far as to refuse to rule out military action if his monetary advances are refused.
Four years after departing Washington, defeated and with the nation reeling from the attack on the Capitol, Donald Trump walked through the doors of the White House’s South Portico as the 47th president.
“It’s great to be back,” he told members of the household staff who applauded his return on Inauguration Day.
Trump then proceeded to kick off a first week in office unlike any other, dominating attention in the U.S. and abroad as he raced to fulfill campaign promises, make deals and settle scores.
Facing high expectations and a limited political window, the president headed to the Oval Office hours after he was sworn in Monday. A stack of executive orders waited on the Resolute Desk for his signature, and an aide asked if Trump wanted to assemble the press corps.
Four years ago, when Donald J. Trump failed to win a second term as president of the United States, many in the globalist elites initially assumed that they had seen the back of him.
A few saw him as a mischievous spirit, like the Ridgeway Ghost of Wisconsin, destined to fade away in time.
Last Monday, however, he was back for more.
President Donald Trump has said he believes the US will gain control of Greenland, after showing renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory in recent weeks.
“I think we’re going to have it,” he told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday, adding that the island’s 57,000 residents “want to be with us”.
His comments come after reports that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen insisted Greenland was not for sale in a fiery phone call with the president last week.
