Denmark summons US envoy over report on covert American ‘influence operations’ in Greenland

The US envoy to Denmark was summoned by the Danish foreign ministry on Wednesday, after the country’s public broadcaster reported that a number of American men have attempted to conduct “influence operations” in Greenland.

According to an investigation by Danish public broadcaster DR, at least three Americans with “ties” to US President Donald Trump are conducting active operations in Greenland, sparking concerns that they could be working to shift public opinion and push Trump’s desire to make Greenland a part of the US.

Greenland, a huge, resource-rich island in the Atlantic, is a self-governing territory of Denmark. Trump has repeatedly stated that he wants to annex the island, claiming that this is needed for security purposes. Both Greenland and Denmark are staunchly opposed to the idea.

“We are aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark. It is therefore not surprising if we experience outside attempts to influence the future of the Kingdom in the time ahead,” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said in a statement Wednesday.

According to the DR investigation, which was based off conversations with eight sources across Denmark, Greenland and the US, the three men are conducting the operations in an attempt to “infiltrate Greenlandic society.”

One of the American men involved has made a list of Trump supporters in Greenland, with the goal of later recruiting them to establish a secessionist movement on the island, according to the broadcaster.

The two other men have made contact with politicians, business people and other citizens, causing authorities to be concerned that they could be used to support Trump’s goal of annexing the territory, DR reported.

The broadcaster was unable to determine whether or not the men were acting under orders. CNN has reached out to the White House and the government of Greenland for comment.

“Any attempt to interfere” in Denmark’s internal affairs is “unacceptable,” Rasmussen said in Wednesday’s statement.

“The cooperation between the governments of Denmark and Greenland is close and based on mutual trust, just as there is close cooperation and dialogue between the relevant Greenlandic and Danish authorities,” he continued.

They should deport them immediately.

05, I hope you are well and I am glad your quarterly visits to Chicago have been safe. I also do not believe for a second you are dismissive of city crime. But do you think your quarterly visits to Chicago give you a true picture of local there for law abiding residents of the city.

You know the murder rate per capita in Chicago is higher than the murder rate of two of the three countries in the Northern Triangle, countries that we have taken thousands of applications for asylum from their citizens in the past 5 years because they were trying to escape the violence. So apparently we need to offer the residents of Chicago an opportunity to claim asylum too. lol

A weekend or two ago there were 35 shootings and 5 murders in Chicago. One weekend. I think if you would listen to the good folks of Chicago they would not consider your experience comparable to their live in Chicago.

I had some thoughts about another post of yours but I am out of time. I hope you are having a great day.

Yet Chicago isn't even rated in the top 10 of American cities in murder rates or violent crime rates. But it is in another democratic state ran by yet another black mayor. Memphis Tennessee is the city with the highest
violent crime rate in the nation with a rate of 2,501 violent crimes per 100,000 people and a difference of +343.6% from the national rate. But trump has never mentioned it. Then again it's located in a red state.

Why don't you ask all of the citizens of Chicago how they feel about armed troops patrolling their streets?

If trump and his supporters are so worried about crime in our cites, why aren't they providing the funds to hire more cops rather than spending that money on deploying troops? You know cops. The people who are actually supposed to be enforcing the law on our nations streets.

According to what I just read Chicago in 2024 was the murder capital with 573. St. Louis had highest per capita. All those numbers are unacceptable.

I made no reference to soldiers in Chicago so go argue with somebody else.

Hey Keith, hope you are doing well. Just wanted to add that I don’t live in Chicago, but my 23 year old nephew does. He hasn’t come across any problems and he lives closer to the south end of downtown, not in Wrigleyville or Lincoln Park. He was actually a Trump voter but is very much against this. As an OG conservative, I am too, and I am very concerned about Trump’s statements he made regarding his ability to “do anything he wants.” The Constitution also doesn’t convey this power to anyone as evidenced by the Posse Comitatus.

Chicago has been Chicago for a while now. Every major city has good and bad areas. It should never be up to the federal government to enact law enforcement at local or state levels, barring things like Civil Rights and desegregation federal law implementation in southern schools. It is a slippery slope we don’t ever want to go down, combine that with POTUS’ statements.

Last I checked, St Louis, New Orleans, KC and Memphis all had murder rates worse than Chicago, but there is no rhetoric regarding those locales from POTUS. I also don’t see the end game. We spent how much money and troops for decades placing them in areas they weren’t meant to be with almost no return on that investment. What makes us think placing troops in Chicago would have any better effect, especially over the long term? What’s the end game?

To me, it’s pretty easy to lift the shroud and see the true motivations here.

Hope you are also doing well, Keith. Keep in touch. Hope hurricane season is smooth for you this year.

We’re all about to receive Trump’s planned economic pain amidst his blitzkrieg of American Dem cities…. Back to school prices are way up and schools will be hurting…. So much winning…

Actually, 05, the charts I saw showed Chicago with the greatest number of murders but more like 10-12 in per capita murders. St Louis was first and there were a number more listed before Chicago.

05, You have offered great concerns for what Trump is doing and I would like to offer a couple of thoughts on that. First, I totally support what The Pres is doing in D.C. There is a relationship between the Feds and the city that is unique. The home rule law passed in 1973 I think, grants the Pres the authority to take over the D.C. police. So if the admin deems it necessary they can do that. Obviously he can call up national guard if he needs to. This is our nations capital. Thousands of foreigners and millions of Americans visit every year. The are entitled to walk the streets of our capital without having to walk thru or around a bunch of tent cities and being accosted by homeless people. Without worrying about being mugged or shot. So what Trump is doing here I support. If you think he is doing something illegal or unconstitutional I just do not agree.

05, Where I agree with you is that I think this power is peculiar to the streets of D.C. In other cities law enforcement is the responsibility of primarily the locals. I don’t think horrible crime stats call for federal intervention. At some point the local voters need to act to remove pols who are contributing to the crime problem with their looney policies. So I hope wiser heads prevail and they back off .

I was flabbergasted when I heard an admin spokeswoman talk about doubling the number of Chicomm students we are taking. Insane idea. We should shut them completely out. Chicomms are our enemy and people need to realize that. I wish the Pres I vote for would do everything I would like but so far none have consulted with me.

Have a good day 05.

I’m with you on the Chicomm stuff.

I do sense a lot of irony that he is calling in the National guard in DC now and did not do so on J6. My concern is the “boiling a frog” approach. Why all of a sudden now in this point is he sticking the streets of DC with National guard? Because of what happened to Big Balls? Really? There is also a significant pushback to against what he is theorizing. Jose Andres came out today and said that attendance at restaurants has gone down, not up, and he chastised Trump for the fact that he is saying all these things, without actually having gone out into the city even to a restaurant for an appearance. Heck, even Boris Yeltsin had the the graciousness to look for pizza out in the city while drunk in the middle of the night

My biggest concern is that, even if it’s a power conferred to the President, I think a lot of us can agree that he has made an aggressive attempt during his administration to test the limits of his power. Putting troops in DC raises a lot of eyebrows, but people can eventually chalk it up to “Oh, well, he can.” Once desensitized to that, then it becomes “Oh, well the murder rate in Chicago is bad, and he already deployed troops to DC, so why not Chicago?!” Not saying you do that, but it’s a viable overarching strategy of which I remain very leery. At some point, we have to say here is the Rubicon and he is on the other side of it. In this case, perhaps it’s the Chicago River.

I don’t think there is ever a perfect candidate. I was no fan of Harris. It’s looking like Newsom will be the guy in ‘28 and I don’t like him either. I just find that Trump has an unparalleled level of danger about him that makes him more concerning to me than anyone else politically. I lived through the J6 fallout, the pardons, the Musk debacle, the Epstein about-face. There are no shortage of red flags. He has also rewritten the playbook of the party. It’s division and blutzkrieg castigation right now. DeSantis has adopted it, Vance did an about-face, same with Rubio. The McCain and Romney era is officially dead.

Edit - forgot to wish you a wonderful evening, good sir.

"I know way too many Americans don't care anymore, but Donald Trump is everything you teach kids not to be — cruel, ignorant, lawless, a bully, coward, cheat, narcissist, and liar. Shame on us for electing him again." – Joe Walsh Rep Congressman.

Well between Jack White and Joe Walsh they have it covered.

Back when he was running, I asked magas on this board if they would want their child to behave like him repeatedly. Never got a comment or answer.

and racist

This entire post was advocating for troops to go to Chicago.


Sure, right......

So per capita crime doesn't count. Which cities have the highest violent crime rates don't count. Let's just start with #8, #10, or #12 on the list and only cities in blue states. Try getting a firm grasp of the obvious here and stop making excuses.

White House fires CDC director Monarez after she refuses to resign; 4 top health officials quit

The White House on Wednesday said it had fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez after she refused to resign. Four other top CDC officials announced they were quitting the embattled health agency.

The leadership crisis at CDC erupted the same day the Food and Drug Administration announced new limits on who can get the latest approved round of Covid vaccines in the U.S.

“Susan Monarez is not aligned with the President’s agenda of Making America Healthy Again,” White House Spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement to NBC News. “Since Susan Monarez refused to resign despite informing [Health and Human Services Department] leadership of her intent to do so, the White House has terminated Monarez from her position with the CDC.”

The statement comes hours after attorney Mark Zaid said he was representing Monarez and that she had not actually been fired yet or stepped down, adding that she would not resign.

“When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts, she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda,” Zaid said in a statement. “For that, she has been targeted.”

Earlier on Wednesday, HHS said in a post on X that “Monarez is no longer director” of the agency.

Monarez, a longtime federal government scientist, was sworn in on July 31. She is the first CDC director to be confirmed by the Senate following a new law passed during the pandemic that required lawmakers to approve nominees for the role.

The Washington Post first reported her ousting on Wednesday.

At least four other officials also submitted their resignations on Wednesday in a massive shakeup at the agency: Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC’s chief medical officer; Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases; Dr. Daniel Jernigan, the director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases; and Dr. Jennifer Layden, director of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance and Technology.

Houry, in a resignation letter obtained by NBC News, wrote about the dangers of the spread of vaccine misinformation and said proposed budget cuts and reorganization plans would negatively impact the CDC’s ability to address conditions like hypertension, diabetes, cancer, overdoses and mental health issues.

In his resignation letter, also obtained by NBC News, Daskalakis said he was leaving the agency “because of the ongoing weaponizing of public health.”

Her departure comes at a tumultuous time for the agency, which is reeling from a gunman’s attack on its Atlanta headquarters on Aug. 8. A police officer died in the shooting.

Monarez on Friday canceled a meeting with CDC workers that had been scheduled for Monday, according to an email obtained by NBC News. She said she wanted to assure staff that the agency is working to restore their “trust in the safety and security of all CDC workplaces.”

President Donald Trump nominated Monarez after withdrawing his first pick to lead the CDC, former Republican congressman Dave Weldon, hours before his confirmation hearing. Weldon has been criticized for his views on vaccines.

"I'm not a dictator." - also Trump


It's difficult (and moreso as time goes on) to reconcile both of these types of statements he makes.

Rather than make something up, aka lie, read my post of 7:16 last night, third paragraph. I explicitly stated my view on military in Chicago. Probably won’t prevent you from repeating the same bs, but oh well, I can only try.

So find somebody else to argue with about the military in the city. I’m done with you!!

I was referring to the post I quoted. Not the one you made later that appears to retract or change the focus of your message. But I'm certainly pleasantly surprised by what seems to be a different perspective from you on the topic.

And BTW- when you posted this.... "Chicago is higher than the murder rate of two of the three countries in the Northern Triangle"

Here is the problem. When you try to rationalize that using an entire country to compare to a city it holds no value. A county has much of its land in suburban, rural, lowly populated areas which go into the equation. A city is a concentrated population of people where no such circumstances exist. If you wish to make a point there you should compare their biggest cities to Chicago. That would at least be a somewhat accurate comparison.

Not a lot of violent crime going on in the jungle and on farms. I think you get it.

And the conservative canned answer to why is. “I dont like Trump personally but I like his policies”. Which is ridiculous because his policies are cruel, ignorant, and lawless. Put forward by a coward, cheat narcissist liar.

Trump Seizes Control of Train Station After Vance and Miller’s PR Stunt Humiliation

President Donald Trump’s administration is taking control of Washington D.C.’s Union Station after three of his top officials were loudly heckled during a botched PR stunt at the transit hub.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—a former contestant in Road Rules—announced Wednesday that his department would reclaim management of the nation’s second-busiest rail terminal as part of the administration’s sweeping efforts to tighten control over the capital.

Duffy was at Union Station to launch a new fleet of high-speed Acela trains for Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor route between D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston—trains which were first ordered under President Barack Obama in 2016, and which will benefit from infrastructure investments made as part of President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Act.

The controversial federal takeover of D.C. has included deploying National Guard soldiers to patrol the streets, assisting police in tackling crime, and picking up trash.

“Instead of being a point of pride, Washington’s Union Station has fallen into disrepair,” Duffy said in a statement reported by The Washington Post. “By reclaiming station management, we will help make this city safe and beautiful at a fraction of the cost.”

The move came a week after Vice President JD Vance, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were booed and jeered with chants of “Free D.C.” as they attempted a photo op with National Guard troops stationed at Union Station, complete with boxes of cheeseburgers.

The officials were also greeted with shouts of “f---ing Nazi” and “get the f--- out of my city.” One heckler even called Vance a “couch f---er,” a reference to a baseless meme claiming the vice president wrote about having sex with a couch in his Hillbilly Elegy memoir, which became a meme during the 2024 election.

During the chaotic visit, Vance was asked by the press why troops were being stationed in the rail station instead of areas of the city with higher crime rates.

In response, Vance suggested Union Square, one of the country’s biggest rail hubs, was full of “vagrants, drug addicts, the chronically homeless and the mentally ill,” which makes visitors to the capital feel unsafe.

He said he had brought his children there “a couple of years ago” and claimed, “they were being screamed at by violent vagrants.”

The station had been badly hit in 2020 by the collapse of travel but has been recovering since. It is second only to New York Penn Station for passenger use although with 70,000 a day using it, it is small by international standards.

The nonprofit Union Station Redevelopment Corp manages Union Station. The Trump administration’s plans for a full takeover of Union Station are expected to be completed in September, according to Reuters.

The Department of Transportation now plans upgrades to lighting, elevators, and the roof as part of its takeover. However the nonprofit was already working on an expansion and upgrade using money from the Biden administration’s spending plans.


The ownership and management of the station was handed to the nonprofit in 1983 after the building underwent a major restoration. Since then it has been responsible for its upkeep while it is now policed solely by Amtrak Police, already under the command of Duffy.

A year ago, while Joe Biden was still president, the DOJ published an article on declining crime and homelessness at the station.

But this year MAGA supporter Scott Jennings witnessed a fatal shooting inside the terminal and posted about it to X, while the Washington Post reported

So much for his tariffs, appeals court found them void/invalid. What scheme next? Oh yeah, we’re screwed on all angles.

Wait he is the president. He can do anything he wants.
