3 MINUTES AGO: Trump GOES WILD After Seth Meyers RIPPED Apart His Love L...

[thena0315]

Revised Iron Man 3 AU

Going back to my other AU idea I came up with having Tony, Pepper, Hammer, Killian and Christine in a movie together, then learned that Stane had a son in the comics, and then I came up with my Harley AU; and decided why not put them all together.

Plot Summary below ↓

3 months after the events of Iron Man 2, Zeke Stane, the son of Obadiah Stane, breaks Justin Hammer out of prison after watching him for a while to have him work for him for his plan to take down Tony Stark & Pepper Potts, to take revenge for his father's death. That includes doing a deep dive into everyone they've interacted with in the past. That leads to a meeting with A.I.M.'s founder & CEO, Aldrich Killian, who as of lately has appeared more in the news for the company becoming a rise scientific research thanks to Maya Hansen's work and technology advancement that has landed them multiple military contracts with the US government. Also helps there's a contact with a certain blonde haired reporter from Vanity Fair willing to do articles for his company in exchange for a steamy night (and listen to her complain off the record of the increasing success Pepper Potts has done for Stark Industries and her status of being Iron Man's girlfriend). Still feeling bitter about how Tony treated him when they first met and in a relationship with his longtime crush, Killian joins forces with Stane's team on the condition to help assist with Extremis to help stabilize it for a bigger plan. With all the failed experiments in several parts of the country happening in the next two years, the group created the "Mandarin" and made the world think the Ten Rings were behind the attacks. Stane developing weapons for several terrorist to make things look more convincing. Few of these attacks includes Stark Industries related buildings.

One of the attacks takes place in a diner in Rose Hill, Tennessee, killing everyone in the building except for a young boy named, Harley Keener. Who claims that a man turned into flames and exploded.

Meanwhile, after the Battle of New York and the creation of Stark Tower now being turned into the Avengers Towers, Stark Industries has developed more innovated ways for clean power that they've become the the #1 company for clean energy in the world. Tony however has been dealing with PTSD from the Battle of New York and worries for the future where those aliens will return based on the size of that space ship he saw. He builds the Iron Legion to ease out his stress to cover all the bases for an all out attack. Building suits can only do so much, luckily for him, Pepper is there to help him deal with his PTSD that's more effective and helps with his mental health than building suits. Slowly helping him get over it.

Approaching the holiday season, the group begins their biggest attack yet. Taking down Tony Stark once and for all. Starting with taking down those close to him. And to eventually, take down the President of the United States of America in front of the whole world.

How This Story Ends:

Who Dies: Maya, Killian

Who Goes to Prison: Stane, Trevor, Vice President

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-joe-biden-indictments/2023/08/30/id/1132571/

Former President Donald Trump, blaming President Joe Biden for the indictments he's facing, says he'll have "no choice" when it comes to jailing political opponents if he's elected as president, as "they're doing it to us."

"I always had such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency," Trump said in an interview with radio host Glenn Beck on Tuesday, adding that he "never hit" President Joe Biden "as hard as I could have," reports Mediaite.

"Then I heard he was trying to indict me and that it was him doing it," Trump told Beck.

His comments came after Beck asked if he regrets not locking up his 2016 presidential election challenger Hillary Clinton, despite his calls during the campaign to "lock her up."

"Then when you became president, you said, 'We don't do that in America.' That's just not the right thing to do. That's what they're doing,'" Beck said. "If you're president again, will you lock people up?"

Trump further told Beck that he doesn't think Biden is "sharp enough to think about much, but he was there, and he was probably the one giving the order" to indict him.

"[It is] hard to believe that he even thinks about that because he's gone," said Trump. "But then I said, well, they're actually trying to indict me because every one of these indictments is him, including [Manhattan District Attorney Alvin] Bragg."

Trump further accused Biden of putting "his top person into the office of the Manhattan district attorney" and accused the administration of being in "total coordination with Fani Willis," the district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, the prosecutor in the elections case filed against Trump and several co-defendants.

Facts about the Marvel movies

Anthony Hopkins Improvised The Banishment Of Thor The MCU won a major coup by landing Sir Anthony Hopkins to portray Odin, the All-Father. Combined with the Shakespearean directing of Kenneth Branagh, Hopkins turned in a memorable and commanding performance as Thor’s father, and at least some of that performance was improvised. Branagh allowed Hopkins to improvise much of the emotional banishment scene in Thor.

Three Marvel Movies Take Place In The Same Week After the massive success of Iron Man in 2008 set the Marvel Cinematic Universe off and running, Marvel Studios decided to follow it up with a sequel and two standalone films. The events of Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor overlap little on the surface, but according to Marvel canon, these stories all take place within the same week.

Chris Evans Turned Down The Role Of Captain America…Three Times! Few superhero actors better embody their character than Chris Evans does Captain America. From his looks to his voice to his earnestness, Evans has forever become the face of the Star-Spangled Avenger—a role he initially avoided. Evans turned down the opportunity to play Cap not once, not twice, but three times before finally being convinced to take the part. Evans feared being brought down by the multi-picture contract that came with the job.

Captain America’s 'List' Changes Depending On What Country It’s Being Viewed In Throughout the entirety of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, fans witness Steve Rogers adjusting to a world that aged without him. To help himself acclimate, Cap keeps a running list of things he needs to catch up on, like Nirvana, Star Wars, and the Troubleman soundtrack. However, that’s just the list that North American audiences got to see. The list appears differently in other markets, thereby making the references more relevant for fans all over the world. In the UK, Cap needs to check out Sean Connery and the 1966 World Cup Final, while in Russia he’s tasked with reviewing Yuri Gargarin and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and so on and so forth. Talk about a committed soldier.

'Wakandan' Is Actually A Real South African Language, Xhosa Chadwick Boseman, an American actor, developed a Wakandan accent for his role as the Black Panther, an accent that sounds rich, intimidating, and believable. It probably helps that he’s not making the language up completely from scratch. Other fictional universes, like that of Avatar, created entire languages for their characters to speak. Instead of going down such a tedious route, Marvel Studios decided to use the real-world language of Xhosa as a stand-in for the fictional Wakandan dialect. Xhosa is an official language of South Africa, the homeland of John Kani, the actor portraying T’Chaka, though it is not widely spoken there.

The MCU Has Its Own News Channel Marvel fleshed out the cinematic universe to become one of the most well-developed fictional realms in film history, but plenty of fans might not realize that it even has its own form of in-universe media. Marvel intermittently uploads videos to YouTube from WHIH Newsfront, a fictional news show set within the MCU. The segments star Leslie Bibb as Christine Everhart, the reporter who slept with Tony Stark in the first Iron Man film, and they cover all manner of MCU news—from coverage of the New York Incident to interviews with Scott Lang. Even in worlds of fantasy, you still need reporters to tell its story.

Gamora Didn't Know About Infinity Stones The MacGuffin in Guardians of the Galaxy is an object called the Orb which is sought after by a number of people. Gamora was meant to retrieve the Orb for Thanos but instead joined the other heroes to sell it to The Collector. However, The Collector explains that the Orb actually contains an Infinity Stone and they are all shocked by the power it possesses. However, Avengers: Infinity War proved that Gamora not only knew about the Infinity Stones beforehand, but she actually located the Soul Stone as well.

There's Only One Way To Defeat Thanos In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange uses the Time Stone to look at various alternate futures to see the outcome of their fight against Thanos. He sees that there is only one reality in which they are able to defeat the Mad Titan which is the one in which Tony Stark sacrifices himself. However, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness finds the members of the Illuminati explaining that they also defeated Thanos in their universe when Strange used Dark Magic. It suggests that Tony's death might have been avoidable.

America's crime problem has never been everyone committing one crime

New York City saw a “staggering” 146.5% jump in felony assault busts for repeat offenders over the past six years, the Big Apple’s top cop said — as the crime reached a two-decade high in 2024. Suspects with at least three arrests on their rap sheet were charged with assault 442 times last year, up from 274 in 2018 — part of a pattern that shows wrongdoers are being cut loose too often, with the NYPD blaming soft-on-crime Albany lawmakers.  “That is what we’re up against,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a briefing Monday. “And we know why. The key driving factor is the revolving door of our criminal justice system, created in large part by legislative changes that took effect in 2020.”*** Tisch singled out 57-year-old parolee Gary Worthy, accused of shooting and injuring both an NYPD cop and a 26-year-old woman – an innocent bystander – during an attempt to rob a Queens bodega. The injured officer, 7-year veteran Rich Wong, returned fire, fatally striking Worthy. “The shooter had 17 prior arrests — 17 of which happened when he was out on lifetime parole, including arrests for robbery, burglary and menacing within the past year,” Tisch said. “Let me repeat that: he was arrested and then released over and over again while on lifetime parole. This is evidence of a broken system, one that doesn’t put the rights and needs of victims first.”***

Pres-Elect Trump sentencing

On Fri, 10jan, Judge Juan M. Merchan apparently sentenced Pres-Elect Trump to no punishment. This was the business records case. It's sort of a double edged sword: Merchan and co get to call Trump a convicted felon, and Trump can now appeal the conviction. Many reasonable lawyers doubt that Trump rec'd a fair trial.

Britain: Pay no attention to the rapes behind the curtain!

An attempt by the Conservatives to have the government set up a national inquiry into grooming gangs has been voted down by 364 votes to 111 votes, a margin of 253. The amendment was attached to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would have been killed had the vote passed. Earlier in the day, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch argued the government risks fuelling accusations of "a cover up" by refusing an inquiry.*** A local Rotherham inquiry uncovered the sexual abuse of 1,400 children over 16 years, mainly by British Pakistani men. In Telford, up to 1,000 girls faced abuse over 40 years, with some cases overlooked due to "nervousness about race" as most suspects were men of south Asian heritage.***

"South Asian" is the term polite Britain uses for "Pakistani."

Your job is following leads

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Detectives who arrested a Battle Creek man for two murders he didn't commit could soon be forced to pay up. A settlement conference is set for Feb. 5, nearly two years after Jeff Titus was released from prison. Titus was arrested in 2001, about 11 years after he was accused of murdering hunters Doug Estes and Jim Bennett near his Kalamazoo County property in 1990.*** By time Titus was released, he was 71 years old. This happened after authorities revealed Titus' lawyer was never given a police file with details about another suspect, Thomas Dillon, in 2002. Dillion was an Ohio serial killer whose five victims were killed between 1989 and 1992 while they were either hunting, fishing, or jogging.***

He was imprisoned >20 years.

The thing I hate about these stories is that they never talk about why the exonerated person was a suspect in the first place. For all we know, Titus may have threatened to kill Estes and Bennett and his dna was found on the murder weapon. I don't think so, but the story doesn't tell you.

How could I pass up a headline like

Gang Member "La Barbie" Allowed to Remove Ankle Monitor Before Being Caught Running Hotel Sex Prison

Estefania "La Barbie" Primera, a member of the Tren de Aragua gang, was permitted to remove her ankle monitor a year before authorities caught her orchestrating a lawless and brutal sex trafficking operation at a border hotel, according to sources. Allegedly, federal immigration officials allowed Primera, a suspected Venezuelan sex trafficker, to discard her tracking device after she complained that her belongings, including the monitor's charger, had been stolen. This leniency granted to "La Barbie" raises serious questions about the oversight of individuals involved in criminal activities. Subsequently, Primera was apprehended by law enforcement in El Paso, Texas, where she was accused of managing a sex trafficking ring within the confines of the Gateway Hotel. Shockingly, the hotel had been overtaken by members of the Tren de Aragua gang, adding a layer of complexity to the criminal activities unfolding within its walls.*** Disturbing court documents reveal harrowing testimonies from victims, with one individual alleging that Primera drugged her with a fentanyl-laced pill and facilitated a series of rapes while she was unconscious. The victim suffered severe injuries as a result of the traumatic ordeal. Furthermore, when the victim attempted to escape, "La Barbie" purportedly resorted to physical violence, forcibly returning the victim to the hotel by employing physical aggression in the form of punches and kicks, as detailed in the legal filings. Primera's arrest unfolded in late September outside the Sacred Heart Church in El Paso, a sanctuary for migrant arrivals. She was accompanied by her five young children, whom she allegedly exploited by involving them in drug trafficking activities.***

A Florida deputy has resigned after body camera footage showed he was looking at pornography when he crashed into a car last year, according to a report. Lake County Deputy Tristan Macomber resigned his position after an internal investigation into the Nov. 6 crash, NBC6 affiliate WESH reported. The body camera footage showed Macomber driving when he suddenly slammed into a vehicle that was stopped in front of him. His airbag deploys before he gets out to check on the other driver, who was stopped for a school bus.***

Excellent article about norms and feminism

***For these women, risking everything for the sake of extramarital orgasms with a person who doesn’t love you is not a destructive and selfish impulse to be resisted, but the path to a higher realm of self-actualization. They owe nothing to the world, or to their occupations, or to the people who love and rely on them; certainly they cannot be expected to honor the promises they’ve made if it means denying themselves something they desire. Films like Babygirl are brave in that they acknowledge that women, empowered to have sex like men, will do exactly that—up to and including taking inappropriate liberties in the workplace with their much younger underlings. Where they fail is in pretending that this makes them heroic figures, as opposed to total sleazebags. What equality truly demands of us is not just the license to behave just as badly as men, but to be held to the same standards of human goodness. This is the nature of middle age—when you aren’t too old to start over, but you’re definitely old enough to know better. Eventually, the path ahead of you becomes narrowed by the choices behind you; eventually, you become accountable not just to yourself but to others, too. And if some shimmering possibility presents itself, be it another lover or another life, the truly heroic thing to do is to understand the difference between a possibility and a promise, between a fantasy of what might have been and the deep-rooted truth of the life you’ve chosen—and to gently close the door.

Not helping the immigrant community

A man seen in a viral video being confronted and apprehended by Los Angeles residents, and who was eventually arrested by police with an alleged blowtorch, is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sources tell Fox News. Los Angeles police took the man into custody after a group of local residents grabbed him near the Kenneth Fire, allegedly carrying a blowtorch, according to video from Fox 11 Los Angeles.*** ICE sources tell Fox that he is a Mexican illegal immigrant named Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva. He is in custody due to a probation violation and has not been charged with arson. ***

Free Press notes

In America today, there are nearly 1,500 biological men incarcerated in federal women’s prisons. Nearly half of them are sex offenders, according to the Bureau of Prison’s own data—almost four times the rate of the general prison population. Across the country, female inmates have been harassed, raped, and even impregnated by male prisoners they’ve been forced to house with. Today, Free Press reporter Madeleine Kearns speaks to one of the women fighting back: 58-year-old Rhonda Fleming, who is serving a 27-year sentence for Medicare fraud. Fleming says she’s had to share facilities, including showers and restrooms, with at least 10 male felons simply because they identify as transgender. Today, a judge in Tallahassee will hear arguments that the conditions of her confinement violate her constitutional right to bodily privacy. “When you’re most vulnerable, you’re naked in a shower,” Fleming told The Free Press. “There’s no officer monitoring the showers unless some kind of emergency happens, and so at any time, anything can happen to you.” Fleming’s experience is not a one-off. All 29 federal female prisons in the U.S. allow male criminals who identify as women to be incarcerated—a practice that began in the early 2010s under the Obama administration. Trump mostly walked it back; Biden reinstated it. What would a victory for Rhonda Fleming mean for incarcerated women across the country?

Policing good news

Excellent column by Olivia Reingold

If you’re a New Yorker, you probably know how Mayor Eric Adams spent part of last Friday afternoon: getting his eyebrows threaded at a salon in Corona, Queens. The now-viral moment was meant to symbolize how civilized the whole area had become in the past 90 days. A few months earlier, locals had complained that this wasn’t the kind of block you’d want to set foot on, let alone visit for a spa treatment. The only massage parlors and salons open for business seemed to be fronts for the neighborhood’s booming sex trade, with police estimating as many as 50 brothels operating in the area. The neighborhood had even developed a nickname: the “Market of Sweethearts.” “It was anarchy outside,” said Ramses Frías, a second-generation Queens native. “People were scared to leave their homes.”

After Frías and other locals held a series of rallies and protests, Adams deployed hundreds of NYPD officers, plus 50 state troopers, in a 90-day crackdown dubbed “Operation Restore Roosevelt,” referring to Roosevelt Avenue, the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare.*** Things began to change in 2021, when the NYCLU and other progressive groups successfully lobbied the state to repeal an anti-loitering law, which they claimed “enabled law enforcement to target Black and Brown transgender women, non-binary people, immigrants, and low-income communities for innocuous behavior.” They referred to the law as the “Walking While Trans Ban.” Frías says the rollback hamstrung police from taking action just as thousands of migrants were streaming into New York, exacerbating the problems mounting on Roosevelt Avenue.***

Prostitutes on Roosevelt Avenue began operating in broad daylight about two years ago. On their way to school, Frías said, kids had to start walking past scantily clad women counting cash. In September, parents at a local elementary school passed a resolution demanding “increased school safety measures.” Among the issues they said their children encountered on the way to and from school: “Open prostitution and illegal massage parlors employing sex workers,” “rampant drug use,” and “organized crime syndicates.”*** From the moment the city announced its campaign to crack down on crime in the area, progressives began to protest. Groups like Red Canary Song, which advocates for “BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Trans GNC, and Disabled Sex Workers,” claimed to speak on behalf of the people of Queens���despite being co-founded by a Columbia-educated dominatrix (other “core organizers” include a Barnard graduate turned “BDSM practitioner,” a Brown University professor, and a Yale graduate student with they/he/she pronouns). “We demand the removal of state and local troops from Queens,” an October Red Canary Song press release demanded. “These dehumanizing narratives are fabricated and weaponized to justify increased surveillance, perpetuating our community’s precarity through police violence.”***

France says Europe will not allow attacks by Donald Trump’s America on Greenland

COGwriter

US President-elect Donald Trump said yesterday that he would not rule out military action to take Greenland and the Panama Canal. His son, Don Jr., also visited Greenland yesterday:

January 8, 2025

Donald Trump Jr., fresh off a whirlwind trip to Greenland, told Newsmax on Tuesday night that there’s a groundswell of support among the people he met that would love to see the Arctic territory have an “alliance” with the United States instead of Denmark. …

Noting the “warm” reception that he got in Greenland, Don Jr. told “Finnerty” that the Greenlandics he spoke with don’t get that same warm feeling from Denmark.

“[T]hey made it very clear that Denmark has prevented them from utilizing some of the incredible natural resources that Greenland has to offer,” Don Jr. said. “They basically are treated like second-class citizens. When they go to Denmark, when they go to Copenhagen, numerous young guys told us, hey, we’re told to ‘go home, Inuit, go home Eskimo.’ They don’t love the way that they’ve been treated.”

He added, “Beyond that, for the United States, it’s an incredible strategic location for so many things, whether it be shipping or militarily. … The reception we received was so warm. It was actually, you know, absolutely outstanding. I couldn’t be happier with the trip.

“And there seems to be a lot of desire on the ground for those people to, you know, have an alliance with America,” Don Jr. said, adding he would love to see Greenland become an American territory like Puerto Rico. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-jr-newsmax-greenland/2025/01/07/id/1194242/

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday wouldn’t rule out exercising military or economic coercion to further his goal of bringing both Greenland and the Panama Canal under U.S. control, as his son, Donald Trump Jr., is in Greenland amid Trump’s push to acquire the autonomous territory of Denmark.

“I can’t assure you, you’re talking about Panama and Greenland,” Trump told reporters during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two. But I can say this — we need them for economic security.”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejected Trump’s designs on Greenland but said she’d continue to welcome American interest and investment, in light of Trump Jr.’s visit. 01/07/25 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/greenland-donald-trump-jr-visit-denmark/

Before going further, allow me to add that many in Puerto Rico do not want to be a territory of the United States.

Today, in reaction to Donald Trump’s comments, France warned that Europe would defend Greenland from attack and Germany also spoke out about Greenland:

Europe will not allow attacks, says France, after Trump Greenland threat

8 January 2025

France has said the European Union will not allow other nations to attack its “sovereign borders”, after US President-Elect Donald Trump refused to rule out using military force to seize Greenland.

On Tuesday, Trump reiterated his desire to acquire the autonomous Danish territory, saying it was “critical” for national and economic security.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot told French radio “there is obviously no question that the European Union would let other nations of the world attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are”.

Barrot said he did not believe the US was going to invade the vast Arctic island, but he was clear the EU should not let itself be intimidated. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckg9gvg3452o

8 January 2025

Germany said borders must not be changed by force after US President-elect Donald Trump refused to rule out military action to take control of Greenland. …

German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said that “as always, the firm principle applies… that borders must not be moved by force,” highlighting international agreements such as the UN Charter. …

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot also demanded that Trump should not threaten the European Union’s “sovereign borders.”

“There is no question of the EU letting other nations in the world, whoever they may be, attack its sovereign borders,” Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told France Inter radio.

He added that, while he did not believe the US “would invade” Greenland, “we have entered an era that is seeing the return of the law of the strongest.”

“There is obviously no question that the European Union would let other nations of the world attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are,” Barrot said. “We are a strong continent.” https://www.dw.com/en/germany-france-criticize-donald-trumps-greenland-threats/a-71244465

January 8, 2025

The European Commission on Wednesday danced around questions about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s comments about wanting to take over Greenland. …

“It is clear that the sovereignty of states has to be respected,” Commission spokesperson Anitta Hipper said, …

“Before that, for some months publicly, the Commission, the EEAS and diplomats in some member states were stating that an invasion was a hypothetical scenario, so there’s no need to intervene,” said correspondent of the Italian Radio Radicale, David Carretta.

“What President Trump said yesterday was a military threat to a member state, which is real: He is the president-elect of the most powerful country in the world. Are you conscious that there is a risk?” he added.

Greenland is not in the EU but is classed as an “Overseas Territory associated with the EU.” Of the almost 57,000 people who live on the giant, mineral-rich island, only about 2,000 are non-Danes, meaning the population mostly consists of EU citizens.

Although the Commission confirmed that any military action against Greenland would activate the EU’s mutual assistance clause in Article 42(7) of the Treaty, it refused to answer whether it assesses that there’s a real risk of the U.S. invading Denmark’s overseas territory, calling the case “very theoretical.” https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-dodges-questions-donald-trump-invasion-greenland-military/

The comments from Donald Trump are telling the Europeans that he does not trust them and that he wants US dominance–and European leaders do not like that.

There will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies.

A couple of weeks ago, right after Donald Trump made some other comments about acquiring Greenland, Denmark announced increased military spending for Greenland (see Denmark to boost defense spending in Greenland after Donald Trump’s remarks–could Greenland become militarized against the US?).

Now, here is some background related to the United States’ presence in Greenland:

After the German occupation of Denmark on 9 April 1940, Henrik Kauffmann, Danish Ambassador to the United States, made an agreement “In the name of the king” with the United States, authorizing the United States to defend the Danish colonies on Greenland from German aggression – this agreement faced Kauffmann with a charge of high treason by the protectorate Government. The first US-sponsored installations at Thule were established after the US Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the defected Danish Minister to the United States Henrik Kauffmann signed The Agreement relating to the Defense of Greenland in Washington, D.C., on the symbolically chosen date of 9 April 1941. The treaty, denounced by the Danish government, allowed the United States to operate military bases in Greenland “for as long as there is agreement” that the threat to North America existed. …

In 1949, Denmark joined NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and abandoned its attempt to remove the United States bases. By the outbreak of the Korean War next year, the USAF embarked on a global program of base-building in which Thule (at the time) would be considered the crown jewel owing to its location across the Pole from the USSR, as well as its merit of being the northernmost port to be reliably resupplied by ship. Thule became a key point in American nuclear retaliation strategy. Strategic Air Command (SAC) bombers flying over the Arctic presented less risk of early warning than using bases in the United Kingdom. Defensively, Thule could serve as a base for intercepting bomber attacks along the northeastern approaches to Canada and the US.

A board of Air Force officers headed by Gordon P. Saville made a recommendation to pursue a base at Thule in November 1950. It was subsequently supported by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and approved by President Truman. To replace the agreement entered into during World War II between the US and Denmark, a new agreement with respect to Greenland was ratified on 27 April 1951 (effective on 8 June 1951). At the request of NATO, the agreement became a part of the NATO defense program. The pact specified that the two nations would arrange for the use of facilities in Greenland by NATO forces in defense of the NATO area known as the Greenland Defense Area.

Thule Air Base was constructed in secret under the code name Operation Blue Jay, but the project was made public in September 1952. …

Thule became an Air Force Space Command base in 1982. Today Thule is home to the 821st Air Base Group, which exercises air base support responsibilities within the Thule Defense Area. …

In 2020, Thule Air Base was formally transferred to the United States Space Force. On 6 April 2023, Thule was renamed Pituffik Space Base, reflecting its status as a Space Force base and the native name for the region. (Pituffik Space Base. Wikipedia, accessed 01/08/25)

So, the US has long had a military presence in Greenland. In theory, it could probably declare that Greenland is a US territory. But that would seem to require Congressional approval as the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to “dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States” (Article IV, Section 3)–and not just a declaration from its president.

If the US Congress did that now, Europe is not currently in a position to actually control Greenland militarily, but would likely bide its time and plan to take it back if Greenland was declared a US territory–which it would (cf. Daniel 11:39).

Just over two weeks ago, I posted the following:

US President-elect Donald Trump continues to make statements that are stirring up various ones around the world. A day after telling Panama to change or risk its canal operations being taken over (see Donald Trump threatens Panama and suggests the USA may need to take the canal back), he has again floated the idea of buying Greenland: …

Denmark is not pleased with Donald Trump’s proposal, and Greenland is not pleased with Donald Trump’s proposal.

There will be many unintended consequences because of various of Donald Trump’s statements and actions.

Donald Trump is turning Latin America, Europe, and many others against him and the United States.(Thiel B. After threatening Panama, Donald Trump floats buying Greenland. He also declared that two genders would be the official US policy. COGwriter, December 23, 2024)

Two days after posting that, I posted the following:

However, while the US has long used Greenland as a base to conduct surveillance on the Soviet Union and now Russia, it is possible that the Europeans may decide that Greenland could be a useful place to conduct surveillance on the US and Canada.

It is also possible that Greenland could be used as a base to 1) interfere with US military satellite communications, 2) possibly neutralize some US military moves in Greenland, or even 3) a place to also launch an attack against the US and Canada.

Sound preposterous?

It is not.

The Bible is clear that the power with the strongest military will one day be defeated by the coming European King of the North beast power (Daniel 11:39). (Thiel B. Denmark to boost defense spending in Greenland after Donald Trump’s remarks–could Greenland become militarized against the US? COGwriter, December 25, 2025)

The comments from France and Germany suggest that the Europeans are now trying to come up with a plan related to Greenland and the US.

I would suspect that they will try to make some type of concessions to the US, while they plan to work against US interests there.

Let’s look at the following which is in our free online book Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?:

The U.S.A., itself, has repeatedly shown the Europeans that it does not trust them, yet scripture suggests it sometimes will trust them too much. According to the Bible, the time will come when the U.S.A. will find that continental Europe will be an enemy (cf. Isaiah 10:5-11) and not an ally (Ezekiel 23:4,9-10). The Bible warns:

2 All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:2)

Europe will cooperate with the U.S.A. as long as it feels the relationship is beneficial, and then (as prophecy foretells) one day turn totally against the U.S.A.

The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2).

Some of Donald Trump’s statements are pushing US allies to consider being enemies.

And yes, Greenland could end up playing a role against the US.

Biden has moved left on plenty of things, including Israel, especially when compared to Trump and where Biden has been before. Is Bibi dragging him along? Sure. But any other Republican, including Trump, would let Bibi obliterate Gaza with little to no restrictions, and likely without pushing for aid or a ceasefire. We’ve already seen what certain members of the GOP have said:

https://www.newsmax.com/amp/newsfront/lindsey-graham-israel-hamas/2024/05/12/id/1164419/

This is from Newsmax, which is straight up far right propaganda. It’s consistent with other reports on what Graham said from other sources. Graham has said Israel should do “whatever is necessary” to protect itself. If you think it’s a genocide now, picture what GOP control of the flow of bombs to Israel would look like.

There’s Brian Mast, who months ago claimed that there “are no innocent Gazans”. NY Post is right wing tabloid material. They aren’t trying to hide their feelings on the Israel-Hamas war. This is what they pump out to the far right.

Meanwhile, even if ineffective, Biden has been pressuring Israel constantly for more aid allowed into Gaza, more protection of civilians, and has at least drawn a red line for Israel in this war. One shipment of bombs won’t stop Israel, I know that. The GOP offers literally nothing besides a rubber stamp for anything Israel does in Gaza.

Also, the little report that the Biden administration made that deals with potential Human Rights Abuses by recipients of US munitions? Created because of an executive issued by Biden that mandated that report.

Don’t start with the “Biden and Trump are the same” or “you can’t push Biden to the left” crap. You can, and you have, even if it’s not exactly as far as you want him to be. He has moved left on so many issues.

Continuation of yesterday's study: "Everyone" DOESN'T mean "everyone throughout" ALL stages of their 👺 lives.

Respecting ALL Brethren: Continue ✝️🛐 praying that God's mortal enemies turn to repentance. SOME 🛐 WILL.

Heaven's UNREPENTANT 👺 enemies may NEVER ask God for forgiveness.

Respecting these persons BEFORE they turn to the dark side is correct, but when you are in a FIGHT to the death with some of them, "Brotherhood" WON'T be had.

The FOCUS here is on the Integrity of our Fraternity, within ALL of Christendom.

Many don't know the whole story of Darth Maul, but like Darth Vader, Maul repented.

In real life, there are demonic operatives seeking to control 🌎 us ALL, and they're in Switzerland in the 3rd week of January 2024 cooperating with 👿 satan.

Using the pandemic as but 1 example, people with 👺 diabolical motives create 💉 "acts of gods"/force majeure.

It's NOT the "useful 🤡 idiot" who's been calling the shots.

US Appeals Court Halts Enforcement of Anti-Money Laundering Law

A U.S. appeals court has halted enforcement of an anti-money laundering law that requires corporate entities to disclose the identities of their real beneficial owners to the U.S. Treasury Department ahead of a deadline for most companies to do so. The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Thursday reinstated a nationwide injunction that had been issued earlier this month by a federal judge in Texas who had concluded the Corporate Transparency Act was unconstitutional.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to make trudeau or his security team carry his menstrual products for him so the Canadian taxpayers don’t have to pay when he is on his period? If transgenders want to be treated like women, then they should have to deal with issues that REAL women face and have faced for decades. I’m sure that the Canadian government is buying the best menstrual products available. Probably like using public restroom toilet paper! Only when it is an emergency!!!

B.Y.O.T. Bring your own tampon!!!

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ administration is suing 17 Texas charter bus companies for $708 million for transporting thousands of illegal immigrants to the city.

The suit “seeks to recoup the hundreds of millions of dollars incurred to care for all these individuals, costs moving forward for any of those migrants still in New York City’s care, and costs for all those who are transported to New York City from Texas in the future as part of [Texas Gov. Greg] Abbott’s plan.”

“New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the costs of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas alone,” said Adams. “These companies have violated state law by not paying the cost of caring for these migrants. … Governor Abbott’s continued use of migrants as political pawns is not only chaotic and inhumane but makes clear he puts politics over people. Today’s lawsuit should serve as a warning to all those who break the law in this way
