Why is it always guys who look like Mayberry's dentist that talk like Rambo?
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

The action against him is unwarranted and could chill legitimate—and invaluable—public speech by veterans.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.
This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

Vladimir Putin—Donald Trump's hero—invaded Europe in the 2010s.
I now believe Trump intends to invade Europe in the 2020s.
I expect that, this year or next, his regime will try to annex Greenland, a Danish territory that's politically and historically European.
I believe this.
