What about Congress? Is it enthusiastic about annexing Greenland? Well, a bipartisan team of Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) has written a bill that would ban using U.S. funds to annex the territory of a NATO member state without the consent of that member. It is too soon to see how much support it has, but probably all Democrats will support it and likely some Republicans as well. Murkowski said "The mere notion that America would use our vast resources against our allies is deeply troubling and must be wholly rejected by Congress in statute."

What about the American people? Quinnipiac University ran a poll on the subject. It turns out Project Greenland is just as unpopular with Americans as it is with Greenlanders, with 86% of Americans opposed to taking the island by force and only 9% approving of the idea. When was the last time you saw 86% of Americans agreeing on anything? We bet if QU asked: "Do you approve of the American flag" they wouldn't get 86% approval.

So, Greenlanders don't like the idea of being annexed, Denmark doesn't like it, members of Congress don't like it, and the American people don't like it. We are pretty sure no other country approves So who does? Donald Trump. He is the only one, against essentially the entire world. Will he do it? At this point it is unclear, but the QU poll might actually deter Trump since doing something 86% of Americans don't want is not going to help the Republicans in November.

Ironically, Trump's approach is making it even less likely that he will be able to take Greenland without military force, which would destroy NATO and put the entire E.U. against him.

Without lifting a finger (or losing a single Russian soldier), Pedodent Vladimir Netanyahu Trumpf will deliver Europe on a silver platter to Putin.

Who is the intended audience? Americans? Greenlanders? Danes? If Greenlanders, it will likely backfire. They don't want to join America in any way, shape or form. In a poll from a year ago, 85% of Greenlanders said they do not want to become a part of the U.S., with only 6% saying they WOULD like that to happen. It is likely even worse now that Donald Trump is talking about annexing the island by military force. On Tuesday, Greenland's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said that if Greenland has to choose between America and Denmark, it will choose Denmark.

What about Denmark? Yesterday, the Danish foreign minister, Lars Rasmussen. and Greenland's foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, had a meeting with J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Afterwards, Rasmussen and Motzfeldt held a press conference outside the Danish embassy in D.C. Rasmussen and Motzfeldt said the parties had a fundamental disagreement over the future of Greenland. In easy-to-understand terms, Trump wants to buy Greenland but Denmark doesn't want to sell it. At the presser, Rasmussen added: "We didn't manage to change the American position. It's clear that the president has this wish of conquering over Greenland. We made it very, very clear that this is not in the interest of the Kingdom."

Yesterday, Denmark began moving defense forces to Greenland and said other European NATO members would soon do so as well. The ministry said the move was to train the troops in Arctic fighting, but didn't specify who the potential enemy might be. There is no way the European troops could stave off an American attack, but having them there trying to at least slow an American advance would be a major PR hit to Trump. If American troops have to force their way in, against even nominal resistance, it would be impossible for Trump to say to the American people: "The Greenlanders welcomed us with open arms. It is also worth noting that, even if you have a force of superior size, it can be very, very hard to gain control of an enormous, largely empty, very cold piece of land. Ask Napoleon, if you have any questions.

On the positive side, the parties agreed to set up a working group to address security issues and whether they could be addressed without changing Greenland's ownership. It is possible they will come up with something, but that is unlikely to satisfy Trump. At heart, he is a real estate developer, and he likes to buy ground and develop it. He sees Greenland as a large chunk of undeveloped land he could buy and develop in case his deal to buy Gaza doesn't work out. The two have different problems. Greenland is cold and has no people. Gaza is hot and has a lot of people. However they are similar in that neither of the current owners are interested in selling the place to him. How long will it be before he gets the idea of moving all the people in Gaza to Greenland, so he can build hotels and condos in Gaza? That would violate international law, of course, but so what?

#65 Gosh, bell boi, can't you.read?

#64 I say to my cats all the time, Just because you can jump on the counter doesn't mean you should jump on the counter.

Not that it does any good, mind you.

But I do remind them of that from time to time.

#197 Been my choice of moniker for him/her.

Just like I've called you bell boi, Perry "bell boi" Mason, and liar.

You're welcome, Bellringer.

#159 Rene Nicole Good was NOT obstructing ICE's so-called "enforcement."

So, where's the federal law that empowers ICE to enforce Minnesota traffic laws?

And where's the federal law that empowers ICE to murder people, even if they're "obstructing"?

Especially considering that Rene Nicole Good was NOT obstructing ICE's so-called "enforcement."

And, most importantly, if you're so certain, what "enforcement" was Rene Nicole Good "obstructing"? She was doing as she was told and leaving.

You're so fixated on the imaginary and your obsession with the Trumpf that you aren't even thinking straight.

#1 bell boi says, "This is yet another example of jumping to conclusions way too quickly before the entire story unfolds."

You mean "jumping to conclusions," like this:

"AFTER Minnesota gave them no choice."
After. You're 100% confident Minnesota comments came before Kristi Noam's comments.
The time stamps say you are lying.
What's worse about your lies, is the comments from Minnesota officials prior to Noem's accusation of terrorisms are exactly the kinds of comments you say you wish Minnesota officials had made in the first place.
Would you care to admit you were wrong?

Minneapolis ICE shooting: A minute-by-minute timeline of how Renee Nicole Good died

Federal law enforcement officers in Minneapolis were "doing an enforcement operation" Wednesday morning when their vehicle got stuck in the snow, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

10:26 a.m.
The City of Minneapolis posts a message on X stating, "We are aware of a shooting involving federal law enforcement near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. Please avoid this area."

10:46 a.m.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz posts on social media, "My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE related shooting this morning. We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm."

11:23 a.m.
Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) posts on social media, "A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I'm gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone's safety. Please be safe Minneapolis."

11:45 a.m.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issues a statement on social media saying that a "violent" rioter "weaponized her vehicle" and attempted to run over and kill an ICE officer in what the agency calls an "act of domestic terrorism."
DHS' statement confirms that the woman who was shot died. The agency says that the ICE officer who opened fire followed his training and shot the woman in self-defense.

12:35 p.m.
At a news conference, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says the ICE agent "recklessly" used his power and calls ICE's self-defense claim "bulls---."

"Get the f---" out of Minneapolis," Frey says in a message to ICE.
