Trump Revives Push to Acquire Greenland, Calls It an ‘Absolute Necessity’ for National Security and Global Freedom:

President-elect Donald Trump has reignited his ambition for U.S. ownership and control of Greenland, declaring it an “absolute necessity” for national security and global freedom.

In August 2019, during his first term, President Donald Trump expressed interest in purchasing Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

The proposal was met with firm rejections from both Greenlandic and Danish officials. Greenland’s government stated, “We’re open for business, not for sale.”

Biden EPA approves project to build road in Florida out of phosphate industry's radioactive waste:

After spending years talking a big game about improving the environment and public health, the Biden administration has evidently decided to end things on a radioactive note.

On Monday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved a request from Mosaic Fertilizer LLC, a major producer of phosphate fertilizer based in Tampa, to use phosphogypsum in a road construction project on private property in New Wales, Florida.

Phosphogypsum is a waste product generated by the phosphate industry when processing phosphate ore into the phosphoric acid used in fertilizer. This byproduct contains radium, which decays to form radon, an odorless and colorless radioactive gas linked to roughly 21,000 lung cancer deaths ever year, according to an EPA estimate. Under the Clean Air Act, phosphogypsum must be disposed of in engineered piles called stacks to limit public exposure.

A 2022 paper in the peer-reviewed journal Heliyon noted that phosphogypsum "stacked in the open severely damages soils, water systems, atmosphere and other environments. Radon-222 exhalation and hazardous gases containing phosphorus, cadmium and Radium-226 may have a negative impact on the atmosphere, releasing highly polluting substances and spreading pollutants to nearby areas."

Ragan Whitlock, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, which has opposed the project, said in a statement obtained by the Tampa Bay Times, "The well-documented harm to public health and the environment from this kind of waste leaking out of radioactive phosphogypsum storage stacks should be leading to better oversight of Florida's biggest polluters."

"Instead the EPA has bowed to political pressure from the phosphate industry and paved the way for this dangerous waste to be used in roads all over the country," continued Whitlock. "We'll do everything in our power to protect Florida's people and precious environment from this reckless plan."

Incoming DOJ Investigation? Trump Says Kamala Harris Campaign, DNC Illegally Paid to Get Endorsement of Oprah, Al Sharpton, Beyoncé and Others:

Incoming DOJ investigation?

On Saturday President Trump said the Democrats illegally paid to get the endorsement of Oprah, Beyoncé, Al Sharpton and others.

“Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al? I don’t think so! Beyoncé didn’t sing, Oprah didn’t do much of anything (she called it “expenses”), and Al is just a third rate Con Man. So what is going on here??? Totally against the law, and I have heard there are many others!!!” Trump said on Truth Social.

Former President Jimmy Carter Dies at 100; Oldest President in U.S. History:

Former President James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr. has passed away at the age of 100. He served only one term from 1977 to 1981 and was defeated by Ronald Reagan, yet remained active in politics and diplomatic life.

The 39th president lived longer than any other president in U.S. history. His death was announced on Sunday by his son, James E. “Chip” Carter III.

Carter was born in Plains, Georgia, and attended the United States Naval Academy, serving as an officer on nuclear submarines. He later returned home to run the family peanut farm before entering political life.

@patrician   Jimmy was a good guy, a good man.  But, he underperformed as a president.

Joe Biden’s Legacy: Homelessness Hits Record with 18 Percent Increase in 2024 Alone:

Homelessness grew 18 percent in 2024 alone, fueled by rising prices and a surge of migrants, the Department of Housing and Urban Development admitted in a Friday report.

Perhaps homelessness, more than any other issue, will define President Joe Biden’s legacy.

The Associated Press reported how homelessness increased in large, Democrat-controlled cities that welcomed migrants:

Among the most concerning trends was a nearly 40% rise in family homelessness — one of the areas that was most affected by the arrival of migrants in big cities. Family homelessness more than doubled in 13 communities impacted by migrants including Denver, Chicago and New York City, according to HUD....

@patrician  Joe Biden never seems to make the news.  Is he doing anything?  Given his dementia, he should resign immediately and let Trump into office.

I'm afraid that if Biden resigned, Kamala would become president.  Biden is busy pardoning criminals, selling the material meant for the border wall, and doing everything he can to thwart Trump's agenda before he leaves office in a few weeks.  The less we hear about him, the better.

Yes, Jimmy Carter was a good man and a poor president.  But a lot of good people will NOT see heaven.  At the age of 93, Carter said that "Jesus would approve of Gay marriage."  Does anyone know if Carter turned away from his false teaching before he died?  I pray that he did, but he lived most of his political career denying God a place in "his politics" and working to advance a demoncratic party hell went on removing God from this country.

@hopeland   I didn't know he said that.  I really never paid attention to Carter.  I would hear in the news that he did a lot of charity work.  What Jimmy didn't realize is that at least half of the world hates America and a president needs to be strong, even a bully at times.  Jimmy didn't understand that.

BREAKING: Biden White House to Give Another $2.5 Billion to Ukraine – After a $1.25 Billion Donation on Friday!

Joe Biden’s handlers announced another $2.5 billion will be gifted to Ukraine.

Today’s multi-billion dollar donation included an additional $1.25 billion drawdown package for the Ukrainian military and a $1.22 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) package.

Biden’s handlers are hoping to escalated the Russia-Ukrainian conflict before the senile Democrat leaves office.

Who’s up for World War III?

Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Congress has approved at least $175 billion in aid and military assistance for Ukraine.

American Flags to Fly at Half-Mast During Trump’s Inauguration as Overjoyed Leftists Gloat:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, former President Jimmy Carter passed away in his Georgia home on Sunday at 100 years old.

Because of this, the flags at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels will be flying at half-mast for 30 days according to the flag code. A U.S. flag flying at half-staff shows a nation in mourning.

The flags are expected to remain that way until Jan. 28, 2025, according to People Magazine. Because Trump will be inaugurated on January 20, this sorrowful sight may be visible to millions of viewers.

Leftists who have been demoralized over their latest crushing loss to the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president now see an opportunity to celebrate this turn of events as a form of ‘karma’...
