Oh .... And Russia absolutely loving it all.

'Europe is at a total loss': Russia gloats over Greenland tensions - BBC News https://share.google/aLVfPCGwOu4zXaZXc


"Standing in the way of the US president's historic breakthrough is the stubbornness of Copenhagen and the mock solidarity of intransigent European countries, including so-called friends of America, Britain and France," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

"Europe does not need the American greatness that Trump is promoting. Brussels is counting on 'drowning' the US president in the midterm congressional elections, on preventing him from concluding the greatest deal of his life."

"Greatest deal"? The reporter explains what he means. I have to keep reminding myself I am reading the Russian government newspaper, not a pro-Trump publication in America.

"If Trump annexes Greenland by July 4 2026, when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he will go down in history as a figure who asserted the greatness of the United States," writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

"With Greenland, the US becomes the second largest country in the world after Russia, surpassing Canada in area. For Americans, that's on par with such planetary events as the abolition of slavery by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 or the territorial conquests of the Napoleonic Wars.

"If, thanks to Trump, Greenland becomes part of America…for sure the American people will not forget such an achievement."

And the Russian reporter has this message for America's president: don't U-turn.

"It is dangerous for the American president to back down over Greenland. This would weaken the position of the Republican Party in the midterm elections and likely result in a Democrat majority on Capitol Hill with the ensuing consequences for Trump. Whereas a rapid annexation of Greenland before the elections can change this political trend."

I can see both sides but my inclination is that if there's call that could go either way, they should default to the team with possession keeps the ball. That really could have been called either way. My first reaction was that he was down. I get that it looked like he didn't have full possession but I feel like he had enough at the point of being down. It was only after that that his possession came into question.

I feel like Buffalo and Cleveland have a similar kind of tragic luck. When all the chips are in, the magic usually breaks bad. Like, everything has to go right, and it never does. My roommate in college was a Bills fan and I had a front row seat to those superbowls breaking his heart. It felt so Browns. Incidentally, I also have a friend, was major Saints fan, who has never watched a single down of NFL football since the pass interference no-call in 2019. Turned the TV off and washed his hands of the NFL forever and never looked back. I mentioned to him this year that it looks like they may have a QB and he told me he simply doesn't care anymore. Sometimes I think we would be much better served to go that route. But here we are.

Actions such as these are fully justified because you know ICE and they are rooting out immigrants. So as they said on the Wizard of Oz, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

Haven't you heard? If you want to make a cake you have to crack open few eggs.

I am pretty sure the Browns lead the league in pre snap penalties committed. If not, they were leading late in the season. That is a discipline issue and not a talent issue.

Did you watch? Man, talk about "seeing ghosts".

I just think he's the type of dude where adversity becomes a monster so big in his head that he can't overcome. He doesn't have the capacity for the highs or the lows. The highs have led to some pretty cringe-worthy moments; the lows, even within the flow of the game show him moping around without a drop of resolve going through his veins.

Actually the Pats turned it around in one year. During the regular season they went 4-13 in 2023, 4-13 in 2024 and went 14-3 in 2025.

Yeah, Josh Allen in his prime will make that job a priority job that is open. If new coach does not keep Joe Brady OC he will also become a hot name that is available.

McDermott is now in the coaching pool.

He will get hired by a team in short order.

Trump links Greenland dispute to not getting Nobel Peace Prize

There has never been a bigger clown, a bigger narcist and fool in the white house. The man is unhinged and as big a danger to the world as Putin.

I heard a great expression today on the James O'Brien radio show - you can listen to the show on catch up radio if you want. it's enlightening https://www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/uk/46vyD81/ -

He asked when we would get to the point where we are forced to end normality bias regarding Trump and what his words and actions are doing to the Western World as we knew it.

Normality bias (or normalcy bias) is the cognitive tendency to underestimate the likelihood and impact of a disaster or crisis, assuming life will continue as usual, even when faced with warnings or signs of danger. This defense mechanism makes people delay action, fail to prepare adequately, and downplay risks, often leading to denial or disbelief ("That won't happen here"). It's a powerful psychological factor in disasters, causing inadequate responses to events from small incidents to global catastrophes, and can be seen in reactions to natural disasters, financial crashes, or even workplace threats.

Oh you bet,.. I have friends in Canada.. they are simply put, sick of Trumps Crap. Trump is already making noise that Canada isn't doing enough to protect it's northern Region. As if to say, we may have to take over Canada to protect them.

This arse is going to get us in a WAR.. This time, it will be on our soil.... what a fricking idiot

If you’ve not seen any of Bob Weir and the Wolfpack from the Radio City Music Hall it’s really worth looking up. He kept the music alive and evolving right up until the end.

Yeah. Both Purdy and Brady. Both found an entire generation apart. That sounds like a plan.

Got it - fake bombings.

Daman - MG says your bombings are fake.

Maybe you two just continue this convo amongst yourselves?

Site moving fast today.

Yesterday, when things got bogged down, I tried clearing cache. I'm no techie, it was just an impulse. Seemed to clear things up but could have just been coincidence. I'll keep an eye on this unless anyone knows it's a waste of time...

Former surgeons general warn US about RFK Jr.

Unfortunately way too often.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced that he is demanding the immediate turnover of Alaska to Canada for national security reasons.

There is no competitive balance within the constraints of the pay structure. That couldn't be any more obvious.

What you have is a bunch of billionaires who appear not to want that balance or players fighting against that balance. Possibly both. I don't know enough about the situation to say.

There are examples like the NFL who have salary caps. That may not be totally fair to owners in smaller markets but it's as close as they have been able to come.

Either owners don't want that in MLB or the players union doesn't.

Anything for you, darling.

Patrick Mahomes is my all time favorite QB. Love watching him play. He does what most other QB's cannot do. At the same time I usually root for his team to lose... Figure that one out. lol

Same for me. As you know, I'm in one of those communities now, While I engage in very small-scale agriculture, I sell all of my stuff locally so these things don't affect me much, but I see it all around me. Even the local beef ranchers who also sell everything local are hit by it all because the input costs on everything are higher. Fertilizer, lime, diesel, seed... those things are the pillars of an operation, so even if you can sell everything locally, your cost-to-consumer is going to be higher because you still have a mortgage and tractor payments to make in addition to all those other inputs. Fertilizer for 100 acres can easily hit $15k-$20k depending on your soil type and the target crop.... then it takes a fair bit of diesel to run the tractor to till, seed, and spread that fertilizer. It's tough to make those costs back.

I’m shocked 😮 to hear this!!! Absolutely stunned 😳!!!!!
