Mark, I read your newer post before this one (regarding my comment on that one) - I think you nailed it here. Also no way Musk would be given license to stir the pot with the Brits unless DJT at least gave tacit approval. Remember...they played a part in Russiagate, amongst many, many other things. What do we need them for? Nothing that I can see.

As for Britain and the US relationship, how about those photos of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page over there meeting Five Eyes to discuss spying on Trump? It might have been in 2015 0or 2016. Britain seemed to be a willing partner to try to take Trump down. Gee Hillary just got a big medal for all that fakery, didn't she? We should stop doing anything with Britain.

Trump’s Canada and Greenland comments is playing to the populist crowd and making the concept of a North American Union more palatable.

Of course Canada and Greenland must divest of its European ties constitutionally before a full union.

Speaking of a reshuffle, Zuck has taken a page from Elon: https://www.zerohedge.com/

Maybe those meetings at Mar-a-Largo led to this big change?

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday stunned reporters by refusing to rule out military or economic coercion to secure U.S. control over Greenland and the Panama Canal.

President Trump should hand Starmer a nice new copy of The Declaration of Independence and also drop it as leaflets all over Britain.

He should then encourage Brits to claim their own independence from the tyrants who rule them.

And President Trump should himself end the "special relationship" with Britain until they respect their own citizens "God given Rights".

It seems the tyrants in Britain have forgotten what happened to them in 1776 when we threw them off our continent.

They want to decree our citizens as speech criminals and extradite Americans now?

They need a reminder that we meant it when we tossed them out on their a$$es nearly 250 years ago.

Susan Wiles is trying to keep Trumps focus on stuff that matters. U.K. is not in the agenda. I wish Trump would apply pressure on the U.K. / Euro censorship and fascist behavior (at least 3300 people jailed in uk for social media postings - for some reason numbers are hard to find).

Yes, Ray. In today’s Duran video (one of them), Mercouris goes into a bit of Sir S’s background as head prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008-15, during which time the Rotherham scandal (grooming and abuse of young white girls) raged. As you point out, he put his energies elsewhere - clamping down on free speech - instead of bringing the Anglo-Pakistani criminals to justice. Capitualtion. He’s the lowest of the low…and imho deserves whatever Musk is dishing out.

Quote:”Canada simply doesn’t have the resources to develop and manage its vast Arctic regions”

I think it could have - if it managed it’s economy and resources far better than they have done recently. And it could still have (if it manages its resources and economic policies better and smarter than they have done)

Does the USA have the resources to develop and manage vast Artic regions? Only if it keeps the revenue from those resources as it desperately needs both. What would Canadians get out of it..? Probably didldly-squat (nothing)...ask the Iraqis, or Syrians..

Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley

...Under Trudeau, human rights commissions became virtual speech commissars in Canada. Trudeau’s true colors emerged in his crackdown on the trucker protests opposing COVID-19 mandates in 2022, a campaign widely supported by an enabling media.

Trudeau has been the cheerful face of modern censorship. He hammered conservatives and libertarians with draconian measures and perfectly Orwellian soundbites. In the name of tolerance, he proudly proclaimed intolerance for opposing views...

Trudeau is the Zoolander of western leaders. Even a pretty face can't save you when you're that awful and vapid.

Matt Ehret has pointed out (at length, of course) that Russia just happens to be handy with a US-supporting show of force (or refusing a Brit-supporting show of force) whenever the US-British conflict gets hot (1776, 1812, 1863).
