Trump IS bamboozled about Greenland, it is NOT a huge country. It appears large because it is displayed using a Mercator projection (created in 1569 by Geradus Mercator for navigation). Mercator maps distort land area nearest the poles. A problem when flattening a globe. truesizeofcountries.com

A quote for these times:

“The difference between the new managerial elite and the old propertied elite defines the difference between a bourgeois culture that now survives on the margins of industrial society, and the new therapeutic culture of narcissism.”

Christopher Lasch, historian.

With Trump firing thousands and halting funding for hundreds of programs, I want to know where the money is going? If it is not being spent as Congress approved, where is it? You want to take Trump down, follow the money. Oh wait he is “the most transparent president ever” you think he took it?

These are murders by our military. There is no legality. No proof. Just killing people to distract from Epstein files, Homan files, and all the corruption and graft.
Extrajudicial murder.

In a letter sent upon certification of Adelita Grijalva's election, Arizona AG Kris Mayes urged Mike Johnson to “seat Adelita without delay," warning her office is “keeping every option open to us, including litigation, to hold him accountable.”

CHRINO: A person who claims to be a Christian, but doesn’t follow Jesus’ directions. Like Love one another, Love your neighbor, etc. Ergo, Christian in name only. Pronounced kry-no since they cry so much about nothing, like people are trying to destroy Christmas!
