(News With Views) "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low." — Deuteronomy 28:43
Friends, I want to make clear that you all understand that what is happening to your country as you read this: It is not happening by chance. This is a coordinated effort between both the state and federal government (Judas’ in the halls of government; Luke 22:48) in selling you off to your enemies (Deuteronomy 28:63, 68). This is an United Nations agenda being exposed for what it means to advocate, which is a global government agenda.
[RT] Whatever the methods, history remembers results – and it’s hard to argue with the single largest expansion of US territory.
If Donald Trump were to consummate a purchase of Greenland, he would almost certainly secure a place in both American and global history.
Beyond the spectacle, the scale alone would be staggering. Greenland spans roughly 2.17 million square kilometers – making it comparable in size to the entire Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and larger than the 1867 Alaska Purchase. Fold that landmass into today’s United States and America’s total area would jump past Canada, placing the US second only to Russia in territorial size. In a system where size, resources, and strategic depth still matter, such a shift would be read around the world as an assertion of enduring American reach.
Prestige is only part of the story. Greenland sits astride the Arctic, where warming seas are reshaping trade routes and great‑power competition. It hosts critical radar and space‑tracking infrastructure and lies close to emerging maritime lanes and subsea resources. Its geology, long discussed for rare earths and other critical minerals, adds a layer of economic promise. For a president who measures success in visible, audacious strokes, the symbolism of converting a long‑mooted idea into a concrete map change would be irresistible – and historically resonant.
How would Trump be remembered at home if he pulled it off peacefully, through purchase? American memory tends to fix on outcomes, not process. The Louisiana Purchase is celebrated for doubling the young nation, not for the constitutional scruples it raised at the time. The Alaska Purchase, derided as “Seward’s Folly,” is now taught as strategic foresight. The sheer scale of Greenland would make it the single largest one‑time expansion of US territory, narrowly edging out Louisiana in raw area. That alone would place any president in the pantheon of consequential leaders; Trump would likely be discussed in the same breath as Jefferson and, by sheer magnitude of territorial change, alongside the transformative figures students learn first.
None of this denies the friction such a move would create. Denmark and Greenland possess their own political dynamics and legal prerogatives, and Washington’s meek European allies have signaled discomfort with any transactional treatment of sovereignty. The rhetoric around a “rules‑based Arctic” would not vanish overnight – but, in the end, it would be reframed. History’s “rules” are often codified after the fact to fit the outcomes major powers achieve. If a peaceful, lawful purchase were concluded, the international system would move quickly to recognize the new reality, just as it did after prior land cessions in the 19th century. The controversy and the pressure exerted to enact such a purchase would migrate from front pages of newspapers to footnotes in history books.
Domestically, opposition would likely be sharp in the moment, especially over process, cost, and precedent. It would be massively amplified by the divisiveness of Trump’s figure. Yet American political memory is selective. If the acquisition delivered clear strategic advantages, and was followed by effective integration and investment, the drama of the negotiations would fade while the map endured. Schoolroom globes would change. So would calculations in defense, climate science, and resource policy. Over time, anniversaries – not the acrimony – would structure how most citizens encountered the story.
There are, of course, ways this legacy could sour. America remembers big swings, but it also remembers boondoggles. If the path to acquisition trampled consent, sparked long‑running disputes, or failed to deliver tangible benefits, the afterglow would dim and the comparison to Jefferson or Seward would feel strained. For a time.
Still, if Trump were to acquire Greenland, historians would struggle to write the modern American story without giving him a central chapter. The combination of scale, symbolism, and strategic repositioning would be too significant to treat as a footnote. Whatever one thinks of his methods, the legacy question in that scenario is straightforward: the map would testify on his behalf long after today’s arguments have quieted. That is how history so often works. Outcomes, etched in borders, become the monuments.

Sounds like he got basing and mineral rights. That’s all we need. It extends missile defense coverage in a vulnerable direction. Greenland folks will get an economic boom and still retain their European vacations, crippling socialism and disdain for us.

So we could be soon seeing Press #3 for Greenlandic and #4 for Danish?

"I have a dream that one day little children will stand at the counter of the first Buc-ee's in Greenland and buy Trump brand ice cream. The smiles on their faces will be yuuge!"
[Townhall] It's Kurt
Last Sunday, a bunch of commie scumbags in Minneapolis, led by unemployed journalismer Don Lemon (we have a history!), stormed a church service because someone in the congregation was a member of ICE. They rushed in, disrupted the sermon, and generally freaked out the squares. The local cops were nowhere to be seen because their Democrat masters support this nonsense. And that’s great — they provided a preview of what these leftist degenerates will do on a mass scale given the opportunity. Normal people, queasy because law enforcement tactics employed against resisting people are aesthetically displeasing, suddenly got a good look at their future under Democrat rule. Now they understand why ICE does what ICE does.
But, of course, some of us can’t bear to put a check in the "W" column. A bunch of people on our side are furious because Monday morning rolled around and no one had been arrested, tried, convicted, and sent to Supermax yet. That kind of irrational emotional outburst is stupid, self-defeating for the movement, and it needs to stop.
I get that people are emotional. I get that people are frustrated. I get that their feelings are so full of feelings they might burst, and I don’t care. We are not a movement made up of teenage girls on a TV show who drive the plot with their inability to get a grip on their emotions. Man the hell up and stop whining like little female dogs. It takes time to go through the judicial process. That’s how it is, whether you like it or not.
This type of emo-spasm is sadly typical among the doomsaying, black-pilling peeps among us. "Pam Bondi hasn’t arrested ANYONE!" they shriek. But that’s demonstrably false. John Bolton has been charged. James Comey has been charged. Leticia James has been charged. "But but but but none are in jail!" That’s right! The criminal process has not been completed — you wanted them charged, so that implies you want them to undergo the legal process. "But but but but the Comey and James indictments were dismissed!" Yeah, the other side gets to defend the case — again, part of the criminal process that you demanded — and it’s ongoing. What we have here is a moving goalpost problem. People want bad actors charged, they get charged, and then people complain about that. It’s very annoying.
Monday morning consisted of a bunch of people crying that no one had been arrested yet about this incident. "But there’s evidence on the interwebs!" Yes, there’s evidence out there, much as in any criminal case. But that’s the beginning of the process, not the end. Do they think that criminal prosecution goes like this?
Evidence exists!
Bad guys locked up!
No, it does not. The people complaining are demanding that the legal system hold these people accountable. Great. We all want that. But to do that, you have to use the legal system. And that’s the legal system that exists in reality; it’s not the one where everything gets finished up in 60 minutes like on Law n’ Order: The White Christian Businessman Did It.
Here’s how a real prosecution goes — we want a real prosecution, right?
Gather evidence, and not just YouTube clips
Go to the grand jury for an indictment
Arrest the accused
Do pretrial activities for a year
Have a trial
Get a conviction, maybe
Have a sentence
Appeals
Now, if you really just want us to swoop our enemies up off the streets and toss them in a gulag — which I am perfectly aware (see my books) our enemies did with the J6 people and would do to us — have the stones to say so. But don’t pretend you want the DOJ to charge people with crimes because that means the criminal justice process. And the criminal justice process is not designed to satisfy frustrated people who want their pound of flesh yesterday. Again, I understand that the J6 persecutions made a mockery of both the "criminal" and "justice" parts of "criminal justice," but even if emulating that fascist model was a good idea it is still not going to happen because the leftist judges would not allow it for us while they aided and abetted it in the case of the J6 pogroms.
Allow Pam Bondi, Harmeet Dhillon, and the rest of the DOJ team the time to do this right. They are on the case, but they must build a case. That means time. There’s much more evidence that needs to be gathered than some video clips, though those clips are terrific evidence — thanks, Don! Investigators and attorneys need to gather and process all the evidence, prepare for the grand jury, and go get indictments. Nothing wraps up in an hour like on the TV machine.
Note something important — there are specific laws that these people violated related to disrupting religious observances. Too often, people on our side start crying that no one has been arrested over some actual atrocity, but here’s the fact that too many seem to not know or not accept: everything bad is not a crime. "I want to see people arrested over J6!" Okay, great. I’m mad about it too. Tell me what specific people committed what specific crime, and not by using terms of art like "treason" and "sedition" that you heard on @MAGAGenius69’s podcast, which have specific legal meanings that don’t fit the situation. "We should arrest these liberal judges!" Okay, what for? Sure, I’m ticked, too — I used to have to deal with them personally in court — but you need a crime before you can charge someone. I am unfamiliar with the statute criminalizing being a biased, hack jurist. Some things are political and have to be dealt with in the political arena — instead of a criminal courtroom — no matter how mad they make you or how wrong they are.
I get the frustration. I get the anger. We patriots have been screwed over, and people must be held accountable. To do that through the criminal justice system requires us to use the criminal justice system, and it’s not insta-justice. Getting frustrated over things that we cannot change is not only pointless but demoralizing — how many people out there hearing the bleating about "The Trump Administration is doing nothing!" — a demonstrably false contention — will believe it and choose not to show up in November? If that happens, then nothing really will get done.
When some of us start spazzing out because their gratification is being delayed, tell them to chill. Take a breath. This is going to take time. Leave the emotional self-soiling to the Democrats. We are conservatives, not leftists. We don’t play that.

Interrupting Minnesota Christian church is safe to do as opposed to some other places.

Yeah, but the time between the arrest, trial, and execution of Timothy McVeigh only shows that when the government really wants to, it will.

More Kurt: Can You Feel the Excitement? Kamala Is Back and in the Lead! I warned you! It’s kind of hilarious, but a lot of folks don’t realize that the current number one candidate to win the Democratic nomination in 2028 is… not Gavin Hairstyle… not Alfred E. Buttigieg… not Jupiter B. Pritzker… not even Josh “Yeah Right, Democrats Are Gonna Nominate A Jewish Guy Who Won’t Apologize For It” Shapiro. It’s Kamala Harris. No, really, I’m serious.
“That’s crazy talk, Kurt. Why are you so crazy with your talking?”
I’m not crazy. The Democrats aren’t crazy, either – they are stupid and evil. I’m not giving them the insanity out – they need to own the sorry and degraded state to which they have devolved. But as wacky as it would seem to an outside observer, Kamala is not just in the mix. She’s at the top of it – she’s the froth on a defeat latte, and Democrats are about to gulp it down.

But then, the process is the punishment. They'll have to cough up money for defense attorneys. They have to spend time defending themselves. They'll suffer anxiety over the possibility that they could end up in jail. As Harmeet said, "They made a big, big mistake."
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
