... Donald Trump has blamed his inability to end the war in Ukraine on its president Volodymyr Zelensky ...

Pres Trump does not care that Ukraine is fighting for its very survival as a sovereign country.

... Amid the outbreak, South Carolina health officials have been providing updates on cases every Tuesday and Friday. On Tuesday, state health officials reported 124 more cases since last Friday, which had 99 new cases since the previous Tuesday. On that day, January 6, officials noted a more modest increase of 26 cases, bringing the outbreak total at that point to 211 cases.

With the 3-month-old outbreak now doubled in just a week, health officials are renewing calls for people to get vaccinated against the highly infectious virus -- an effort that has met with little success since October. ...

@#3 ... He thinks he owns the whole planet. ...

... or is entitled to own the Western Hemisphere, if you can believe the National Security Strategy document he recently issued.

Regarding Greenland, imo, Pres trump's saber-rattling about security is just a cover for his true goal ...

The mineral deposits of Greenland.

Similar to your excellent recent comment about fentanyl being little more than Pres Trump's gateway drug to Venezuelan oil.

The mineral deposits in Greenland are Pres Trump's gateway drug to annexing Greenland.

(OK, that analogy doesn't work as well as your excellent comment   :(, but I suspect you get what I am saying ...)

@#17 ... Gotta win the midterms. ...

Yeah, Pres Trump now seems to realize that the GOP may have some issues in November.

So he seems to be changing in his comments from billionaire-supporting to a more populist tone.

imo, changing from his innate support of his fellow billionaires, who seem to have purchased him, towards the workers in the Country.

But why did he do that?

Simple, he only seems to support workers when he needs their votes (a.k.a. November 2026). Otherwise, his goal seems to be to give the Country to his billionaire donors.

@#15 ... Perhaps if Trump kills enough Democrats in Minnesota it will go red. ...

Ya know, that thought has crossed my mind of late.

Is that his goal?

@#1 ... "All we want is to be treated with respect. But the way they talk about us, about buying Greenland over our heads, that is not respectful," ...

Yeah, if Pres Trump succeeds in taking over Greenland, then the last thing that Greenlanders might receive is respect.

For example of a case in point, the great people of Minnesota.

How much respect is Pres trump showing to the great people of Minnesota?

OK, my first question is ...

What right does Pres Trump have to justify his quest to colonize and/or annex Greenland?

... Denmark and Greenland "still have a fundamental disagreement" with the U.S. over President Donald Trump's desire to control the Arctic territory, Denmark's foreign minister said Wednesday.

Lars Lkke Rasmussen and his Greenland counterpart, Vivian Motzfeldt, finally had their chance to try to turn down the temperature at the White House after more than a year of aggressive internet trolling, statements and demands from the U.S. Their conversation did little to dissuade Trump and his team from their hold on Greenland.

"We didn't manage to change the American position," Rasmussen told reporters after the meeting. "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." ...

fwiw ...

@#3 Putin if not directly indirectly through her loyalty to Trump. ...

I wish I could disagree.

@#13 ... Donald Trump intends to kill people who live in Minnesota. ...

Considering that the great people of Minnesota have not voted in favor of Pres trump in 2016, 2020,or 2024, he seems to have a grudge against the state.

A retribution-style grudge.

To wit ...

@#1

That leads me to ask a difficult question for me to ask, who is Sec Noem working for?

The American people, or Pres Putin?

... The founder of ICE List said the website was overwhelmed by malicious web traffic originating in Russia after the Beast reported that a huge cache of personal IDs had been leaked to the site by an alleged Department of Homeland Security whistleblower.

What is Pres Trump going to do about this egregious attack upon an American website?

There's this ...

@#15 ... Now they are saying he had, "internal bleeding". ...

If a person is in a hospital, and has been found to have "internal bleeding," would not the hospital want to keep that patient there for further observation?

I am not a medical professional, but "internal bleeding" seems to be a serious thing to me.

And also, the video I watched (too many times) showed him walking away from his altercation quite briskly and for a distance.

He did not seem to show any manner of physical issues in that video.

@#3 ... we also have copies of her criminal record.....extensive record ...

Who is the "we" of which your current trolling alias speaks?

If the reference is the government, then please show them or post a link.

It has obviously seen those records, based upon its comment. So, please share.

Otherwise, I'm viewing its comment as the usual anal-pore miasma that seem to be far too frequent of it.

@#2 ... think that Bondi's job is in danger because she refuses to have sex with Trump. ...

Nah.

In my view, her job may be in danger because she has not been successful in violating our Laws as Pres Trump wanted her to do in his dicta to her.

@#1

And to be clear, for the purpose of Justice, I do not care whether a person is a Democrat or a Republican, or a visitor from another planet.

If you have violated the Law, you need to face Justice.

Period, full stop.

Why does it that more Republicans seem commit the crimes and offenses that Republicans seem to accuse others of committing?

@#3

Ihre Papiere, bitte.

... so, more billionaires looking to profit off the healthcare of Americans?

... The pair plan to bring Neko Health, the health tech start-up they founded in 2018, to New York this spring, DealBook is first to report.

Mr. Ek and Mr. Nilsonne hope to capitalize on the growing number of prevention-minded Americans who are hungry to track their biometric data. Whether through wearables like Oura rings or more intensive screenings, consumers are turning to technology to improve their health and help spot the early onset of some big killers, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

"Neko was built around a simple idea: Health care works best when it helps people stay healthy, not just treat illness," Mr. Ek, who recently stepped down as chief executive of Spotify, said in an interview. "I've always believed that New York is one of the best places in the world to build. The diversity of people and ideas creates a constant drive to think differently." ...

Can you say, "Trump's Gestapo?"

I knew you could.

... The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is fighting to unmask the owner of Facebook and Instagram accounts of a community watch group monitoring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in Pennsylvania.

Defending the right to post about ICE sightings anonymously is a Meta account holder for MontCo Community Watch, John Doe.

Doe has alleged that when the DHS sent a "summons" to Meta asking for subscriber information, it infringed on core First Amendment-protected activity, i.e., the right to publish content critical of government agencies and officials without fear of government retaliation. He also accused DHS of ignoring federal rules and seeking to vastly expand its authority to subpoena information to unmask ICE's biggest critics online.

"I believe that my anonymity is the only thing standing between me and unfair and unjust persecution by the government of the United States," Doe said in his complaint.

In response, DHS alleged that the community watch group that posted "pictures and videos of agents' faces, license plates, and weapons, among other things," was akin to "threatening ICE agents to impede the performance of their duties." Claiming that the subpoena had nothing to do with silencing government critics, they argued that a statute regulating imports and exports empowered DHS to investigate the group's alleged threats to "assault, kidnap, or murder" ICE agents.

DHS claims that Meta must comply with the subpoena because the government needs to investigate a "serious" threat "to the safety of its agents and the performance of their duties." ...

@#85 ... Because MAGA isn't watching CBS news ...

My guess for the reason that has occurred is that MAGA watches news channels that tell them what they want to hear, instead of the facts.

YMMV ...
