Security fears and dreams of minerals behind Trump's push to 'own' Greenland, experts say excerpt: "For America’s allies and Greenlanders themselves, however, Trump’s threats to seize the semi-autonomous Danish territory cut much deeper, and threaten to shatter the decades-old principle of Western defense cooperation. But there may be little they can do to stop it. “This is a threat that is completely appalling, to be honest,” Aaja Chemnitz, one of two Greenlandic lawmakers in the Danish parliament, said in an interview Thursday. “You can’t just buy another country, a people, the soul of Greenland,” she added."

His sister Nicole posted a photo on Facebook in October 2020 of herself and a female friend wearing face masks with the caption 'I denounce and condemn white supremacy'.

Trump fans upset about plans to build large detention centers in their towns. Trump Fans Rage at Plans to Build Giant ICE Detention Centers in Their Towns
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/world/europe/trump-putin-venezuela.html excerpt: "Sitting on a gilded chair in the green drawing room of the Grand Kremlin Palace, Nicolás Maduro, the leader of Venezuela, turned to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and spoke of their bright future together. “We will see relations flourish between the great Russia, today a leading power of humankind, and Venezuela,” Mr. Maduro proclaimed at the meeting, last May. Eight months later, Mr. Maduro is sitting some 4,700 miles away in a violent and overcrowded federal detention center in Brooklyn, having been spirited out of Caracas last Saturday in a U.S. military raid ordered by President Trump. A week has passed — and Mr. Putin has said nothing."
Donald Trump Was Never an Isolationist excerpt: "Even Venezuelans thrilled to see Maduro gone have reason to be unnerved. It’s as if China had bombed Quantico, placed Trump in shackles, and whisked him to Shanghai for trial. No matter how much some people in the United States loathe Trump, they would, at minimum, have questions. It’s hard not to think, in this moment, of George W. Bush. He spoke forcefully against “nation-building” at one of his debates with Al Gore, in 2000. “I just don’t think it’s the role of the United States to walk into a country and say, We do it this way, so should you,” he explained. Even as he went to war after 9/11, he plainly hoped to prevail through air strikes. Only when these failed to achieve their desired ends did he launch, in Afghanistan and Iraq, precisely the sort of protracted, bloody, and unpopular occupations he’d warned against."
Donald Trump Was Never an Isolationist excerpt: "Hence this past weekend’s assault on Venezuela, in which U.S. forces launched air strikes on Caracas and nabbed the head of state, President Nicolás Maduro. (At least a hundred people were killed, local authorities say.) Trump claims that his goal is to punish Maduro for heading a “vast criminal network” that has brought “colossal amounts of deadly and illicit drugs into the United States.” But this is hard to swallow. The drug that is killing people, fentanyl, is almost entirely produced in Mexico, and the drug Venezuela does play a (minor) part in transporting, cocaine, goes mainly from there to Europe. Also, didn’t Trump just pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, the former Honduran President, who had been sentenced to forty-five years in federal prison for conspiring to import four hundred tons of cocaine into the United States?"
Trump sees the world as a Manhattan real estate deal. Security fears and dreams of minerals behind Trump's push to 'own' Greenland, experts say excerpt: He said Friday: "When we own it, we defend it. You don’t defend leases the same way. You have to own it.”
That means Trump would have to own Israel, Japan, Europe, and any other entity he wants the U.S. to defend.
Security fears and dreams of minerals behind Trump's push to 'own' Greenland, experts say excerpt: "When Trump first said he wanted to buy Greenland in 2019, in what he described as a “real estate deal,” it was widely seen internationally as absurd. But after years of pressure from Trump, and the U.S. attack on Venezuela, few in Europe are laughing."
ICE killing of driver in Minneapolis involved tactics many police departments warn against − but not ICE itself excerpt: ICE’s policy lacks clear instruction, however, for its officers to get out of the way of moving vehicles where feasible. In contrast, the Department of Justice’s use-of-force policy makes it explicit that officers should not shoot at a vehicle if they can protect themselves by “moving out of the path of the vehicle.”
ICE killing of driver in Minneapolis involved tactics many police departments warn against − but not ICE itself excerpt: "ICE’s current use-of-force policy prohibits its officers from “discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle” unless it is necessary to stop a grave threat. The policy is explicit that deadly force should not be used “solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.” That point is relevant for evaluating the fatal shooting in Minneapolis. Videos show one officer trying to open the door of the vehicle that Good was driving, while another officer appears to be in front of the vehicle as she tried to pull away."
2026 can be expected to be a turbulent year in the U.S. Trump has $100 million from Congress to spend.on his deportation crusade. He knows that he could lose control of the House in the November 2026 election. The worst can be expected from him because he knows 2026 is his best opportunity.

ICE splinters over Minneapolis shooting: Whispers of 'murder'... exodus fears... and terror over what comes next | Daily Mail Online excerpt: 'Should he be standing in front of the vehicle? No. But if you see the before, he is moving around to get the driver side door view point, but that's when she starts moving the vehicle.' Multiple federal agents told the Daily Mail the second and third shots fired at Good would likely never be justified and could result in criminal charges under normal circumstances. Yet Vice President JD Vance all but cleared Ross, telling reporters on Thursday the agent has 'immunity.'
Miller and Trump want White, Biblical, U.S. babies. Why the white America Trump dreams of is just a fantasy excerpt: "The other problem is that the proposed solutions from the Trump administration border on the absurd. They include a “National Medal of Motherhood” for particularly fecund mothers, fertility tracking classes and $1,000 to be deposited into “Trump accounts” for babies born during his presidency. These come amid a torrent of policies that will make childbearing tougher, such as cuts to federal support for children’s healthcare and nutrition, courtesy of the president’s tax-cutting bill."
