You must be aware that not all of the transplants from other states are republicans. They include plenty of Dems. Plus we still have lots of illegals brought in by Biden, Harris, Mayorkas.

Denmark even had 1-2 dozen soldiers from other European countries to help them defend the island from the greatest military power in history.

It will never become a shooting match but if it did, the US would win in less than 72 hours.

Depends on how you define win. Yes, we will physically defeat them. The fallout would be different.

I don't think anyone seriously expects the military ii be involved in Greenland so it's all academic.


You may know.

Wasn't there a movie where this small country attacks the US hoping we'd rebuild their country?

I know it's not a Monty Python but it's a comedy in that type of comedy.

This is an extreme example but many charities to spends mist of the money they receive non executive pay and Peres dnd in advertising. I doubt many give 50% to the cause to which people make their donations.

The Salvation Army spends roughly 82 cents of every donated dollar directly on charitable programs like disaster relief, shelters, and food banks. The remaining 18 percent goes to overhead, which includes administrative and fundraising

In Texas it's rightly called attempted murder

In Minnesota it's called trying to get away peacefully...

I was talking about relative strength not anything that's a remote possibility.

Anyone know the story on this Freedom Fuel?

How are they offering prices $.50 lower than the competing gas stations in the area? Is there any subsidy involved?

Yup. Remember how Grand Fenwick won that war?


They stole the new American Superbomb (Q bomb), which did not actually work but the scientist and his daughter kept that secret.

Do you mean The Mouse that Roared? The book was clever and the movie was pretty good. But the plot also included a weapon more powerful than nukes, IIRC.

If the reports I referenced are correct, the Salvation Army is probably an exception. Another is the Gideon's International. 100% of donated funds go to printing Bibles for hotels, hospitals, prisons, schools, etc.

Point taken but I think Trump has a lot more sense than his critics give him credit. For example, much of his "crazy" rhetoric is a bargaining tactic and it often works.

Geez, them make him in charge of a trade delegation. POTUS is more than ,"bargaining" like The Apprentice. What he says matters more than posturing or haggling like he is on Delancey St.

I should have read some of the later posts. My post was superfluous.

It's a good book.

Yup, The Q bomb.

You may recall how Grand Fenwick got it. The US decided to have a big drill in NYC the same day that Grand Fenwick's 'Expeditionary Force' arrived there so they could actually have someone to be taken prisoner. So no one was available to arrest the GF invaders.

They discovered the scientist because Peter Sellers' character (Tully Bascombe, Sellers also played Grand Duchess Gloriana XII and Prime Minister Rupert of Mountjoy) read about Doctor Kokintz and intercepted him at his office, believing that taking prisoners would give him leverage. Tully was therefore able to take the scientist hostage, along with his daughter Helen, and along the way several military officers and some police, and General Snippet.

In the end, Grand Fenwick gets to keep the Q bomb (which does not work, but everyone keeps that secret) as part of a Council of Little Nations, because the Great Nations cannot be trusted. The Americans agree to pay reparations requested by Grand Fenwick (the reason for the war, GF was about to run out of money), but not ten million dollars GF wants: The US says they will get a billion dollars at least, whether they want it or not.

Put one in the win column for Trump



Germany's Chancellor Merz admits:

Trump often applies pressure through a very forceful approach.

The last American presidents politely asked us, "Please, finally do a little more for your own defense," but across Europe those requests largely fell on deaf ears.

Now there is an American president who says, rather bluntly, "Enough is enough."

And I cannot blame him. Just look at the numbers: the United States spends around 80 percent of NATO's defense resources, while Europe accounts for only about 20 percent.

That is unacceptable. It has always been unacceptable.
