Statehood for Greenland
Timothy Birdnow
A Republican Congressman introduced a bill to make Greenland the 51st state.
The "Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act” was introduced by Representative Larry, er, Randy Fine (R-Fla.) and calls for not just the annexation but for statehood for the huge frozen island.
With just 57,000 people spread over an area of 836,330 mi² Greenland cannot even function as a local government on it's own, which is why it's been part of Denmark for so long. I would add more people attended the Super Bowl last year than live i the entire subcontinent of Greenland (61,629 people packed into Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas last year to watch the game).
From a political standpoint the Greenlanders are very poor and will almost certainly vote Democrat once they are given citizenship. That means the Senate flips to the Democrats and the House may possibly as well (although Greenland would probably only have one Representative). The only way Greenland becomes Republican is if it is flooded with American military personnel and the more conservative business types, until they overwhelm the aboriginal population.
The average income for Greenlanders at present is 332,500 DKK, or about $3,800 U.S. so the whole country would become a drag on U.S. assistance programs.
Taking control of Greenland is fine but it must be done gradually, and it should be a protectorate in the fashion of Puerto Rico, not brought in as a state immediately. The People of Greenland need to decide too.
It took Arizona 49 years to achieve statehood, for example, the longest wait of any former territory. Greenland should be moved on that cautiously.
But there is no reason it can't be a U.S. territory.
We need to think this through before jumping into something that might bite us in the frostbitten posterior.

Just Say No to the Superflu
Timothy Birdnow
So they are going back to an oldie but goodie.
I suspect the media is trying to revive the pandemic scare, and I do mean scare, in order to make people turn over Congress. The hope is people will remember Trump was in office when the country was shut down the first time and are hoping they will associate the flu season with Trump and be more amenable to voting Democrat.
I doubt it will work because I suspect most people remember it was Joe Biden who wouldn't let it end, and it was the Democrats who shut down society in their states. I suspect if this issue doesn't gain them much traction they will drop it. They will REALLY drop it if polling shows a negative reaction.
Are we having a bad flu season? I'm sure we are; people who were locked down for years have now gotten back out, with their immune systems weakened by the enforced isolation of the pandemic and the Covid shot. But is it a "superflu" as they are putting it? I seriously doubt it. Just a normal flu bug that is having a nastier effect than usual on weakened immune systems.
We'll develop herd immunity soon enough if we don't go into a panic. That panic is the fondest hope of the media and the Democrats, I might add.
Like we were told with drugs, we should JUST SAY NO!

It Does a Body Good
Timothy Birdnow
Whole milk is coming back to schools as President Trump has repealed an Obama-era Executive Order forcing kids to drink the weak stuff.
When I was young it was understood growing bodies needed more butter fat and the extra nutrition provided by whole milk and we were all encouraged to drink the strong stuff. That had gone on a long time, well before the rise in obesity among American children. Yet American children got hugely fat, mostly because of the food pyramid government foisted on the country which emphasized eating lots of grain products and less meat and dairy. As always the government made the problem in the first place, then doubled down on the problem as the solution.
Michelle Obama, the busybody with the body of a man, imposed this on American children. Kids were hungry all day because of her "healthy" diet. Parents were sending food to schools with the kids so they weren't starving and the schools were searching the kids for snacks and taking them away. And they wouldn't even let the little tykes drink whole milk.
If they had had whole milk they wouldn't have needed snacks in the first place.
In 2012 Congress passed a law restricting whole milk in schools to codify the Obama EO.
Sadly, while this bill makes milk not counted towards the 10% limit on saturated fat, it leaves the limit in place, a ridiculous overreach by government in the first place Government should be getting out of the food business entirely. I suppose if it's a subsidized meal program they have some say, but it really is none of their business what kids eat at a government school where the youths are mandated to attend.
Dietary restrictions by government is as onerously paternalistic as can be imagined A free society has the right to choose what food it wants
At any rate this is a welcome development It's too bad Congress didn't go farther.

Justified
Timothy Birdnow
Hey, Mike Waltz said it was!
Well, well, well…Look what Tim Walz signed into law in 2020:
MN law §609.066: Officers can use deadly force if a driver accelerates toward them, creating immediate life-threatening danger. No need to wait for impact—they can act based on apparent intent & proximity.
JUSTIFIED.

So the Man who Shot Good had Internal Bleeding
Timothy Birdnow
This blows the victim narrative right out of the water in Minneapolis.
BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

Net Drop in Immigrants
Timothy Birdnow
According to the very liberal Brookings Institute we had between minus ten thousand and minus two hundred thousand fewer immigrants in the U.S. as we did last year when Biden was leaving office.
This is likely an underestimation too as Brookings has no love for Donald Trump and would be eager to not admit what he is doing is working.
Laws only work when they are enforced. For decades neither party has wanted to enforce immigration laws and then have asked for NEW laws because they claim the old ones don't work. But they do - they just need to be enforced. Trump has proven the utter bankruptcy of the open borders arguments.

Climate Models Wrong
This from James Doogue
All Of The 39 Climate Models Used By Scientists Have Predicted Greater Warming 1979-2025 Compared To Actual Temperature Observations.
This includes climate scientists who want to keep their funding and grants coming, as well as the media who know that disaster scenarios get more viewers and readers compared to story lines which have no dramatic scenarios.
Dr Roy Spencer shows in his post at the URL below, that all 39 climate models run up to 3 times the warming rate of actual temperature observations 1979-2025.
Looking at the graphs shown below, which are taken from the linked post by Dr Spencer we can see:
1. All climate models run hotter than the actual temperature, right up to 300% of actual observations.
2. If we average all 39 climate models, we can see they collectively show a warming rate of double the actual observations.
Dr Spencer writes:
‘I find it ironic that climate models are claimed to be based upon fundamental "physical principles”. If that were true, then all models would have the same climate sensitivity to increasing GHGs [green house gases].
But they don’t.’
Dr Spencer further states:
‘Climate models range over a factor of three in climate sensitivity, a disparity that has remained for over 30 years of the climate modeling enterprise.’
He goes on to write:
‘Much of global warming alarmism arises from scientific publications biased toward (1) the models that produce the most warming, and (2) the excessive GHG increases ("SSP scenarios") they assume for the most dire climate change projections. Those scenarios are now known to be excessive compared to observed rates of global GHG emissions….’
So why do climate scientists continue to use climate models they know are not producing correct results? I believe it's because:
1. They want to keep their jobs. Convincing the government and benefactors that there's an emergency is more likely to keep their grants and funding flowing.
3. They jumped on the catastrophic global warming gravy train a long time ago. They don't want to admit they were wrong all these years.
Note: 1979 is used as the starting time on the graphs because that's the first year satellite temperature observations became available.

A Fool and His MOney
Timothy Birdnow
Inflation is caused by loose monetary policy and nothing more. How did this guy get to be a CEO of a major financial institution like this without understanding that?
As CEO of a big international bank (JPMorgan Chase)Dimon is beholden to the ruling class and is opposed to MAGA. Also, a guy like this is old buddies with Jerome Powell and anyone else at the Fed as a business necessity and will work to cement that relationship; administrations come and go but the Fed and the bureaucracy are eternal. And no doubt Dimon would like a cushy seat on the board of the Federal Reserve himself some day.
Remember Morgan Chase was deep in the DEI stuff. They were at the vanguard of the debanking business a few years ago, for example. So anything this man says is suspect.
Inflation is almost always a monetary issue; the Federal Reserve prints too much money, floods the economy with dollars that have no backing and thus it takes more of them to buy stuff. Yes, prices can sometimes go up without inflation, such as when there is a a temporary shortage, as in when, say, an oil refinery blows up, but it is not something across the board by and large. Across the board inflation is a direct result of too much money chasing too few goods and services and that is caused by injecting too much cash into the economy. Dimon knows this, or should.
I so often wonder how such mediocre people wind up in such positions of high authority. But that's what happens when you have government with it's enormous thumb on the scales all the time. Government invariably breeds mediocrity.

Clintons Refuse to Testify

Racketeering in North Carolina (that's Sheriff Buck, uh, with a B)
Timothy Birdnow
Wouldn't this be a crime?
From the DAily Caller:
North Carolina State Rep. Carla Cunningham, a Charlotte Democrat with a well-established independent streak, was intensely pressured by her party to vote against a July 2025 override of Democratic Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of House Bill 318, legislation requiring sheriffs to honor ICE detainers. She is now alleging that the sheriff of Mecklenburg County attempted extortion when he suggested that she’d "get hurt” if she helped Republicans pass the bill.
"One of the first things he said was that the citizens of Mecklenburg County would come at me,” Cunningham told the Daily Caller News Foundation, speaking about her phone call with Sheriff Garry McFadden, a Democrat who has long opposed working with ICE agents.
Methinks perhaps the Department of Justice should "come at" Mr. McFadden.
14-16.7. Threats against executive, legislative, or court officers.
(a) Any person who knowingly and willfully makes any threat to inflict serious bodily injury upon or to kill any legislative officer, executive officer, or court officer, or who knowingly and willfully makes any threat to inflict serious bodily injury upon or kill any other person as retaliation against any legislative officer, executive officer, or court officer because of the exercise of that officer's duties, shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished as a Class I felon.
(b) Any person who knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail any letter, writing, or other document containing a threat to commit an offense described in subsection (a) of this section shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished as a Class I felon. (1981, c. 822, s. 1; 1993, c. 539, s. 1126; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c); 1999-398, s. 1; 2014-119, s. 6(b).)
That's why Sheriff Lucas Buck here couched it the way he did - so he couldn't be accused of making an overt threat, but anyone who knows anything about, say, racketeering, knows what this guy meant.
Remember this is a DEMOCRAT making the allegations.
Util serious punishment is doled out for these crimes they will not just keep happening but will increase in size and number.
I caught Jesse Kelly last night and he was saying that about the Bill/Hillary Clinton refusal to testify before Congress. As Kelly pointed out the Left does this stuff with impunity because they always get away with it. It's time for that to change. Kelly was right; if they get away with it when we are in power they are going to go hog wild, punishing our side ruthlessly, when back in. The only way to stop stuff like this is to stop them at the beginning like they should have stopped Hitler at Nuremberg (a little Godfather quote).
So this sheriff needs to be put through the ringer over this. You can't be using your position to make veiled threats to force state legislators to vote the way you want. That is racketeering.

Powell Criminally Referred
Timothy Birdnow
Jerome Powell has been referred for criminal prosecution by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna for lying to Congress about renovations to their palatial office building under construction at present.
The article gives Mr. Powell's reaction:
"This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress’s oversight role; the Fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts,” Powell said.
"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions — or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation,” he added.
"I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do, with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people,” he said.
Interesting; Powell's term of office is almost up, so why would the Trump Administration want to pick this fight now, when it hands the Democrats a political weapon? It doesn't make any sense if you assume Powell's argument is correct.
A good sized number of Republicans joined the chorus of complainers, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The assumption by the media and so many of these Republicans (including John Kennedy of Louisiana) is that this was a political move, and not an anti-corruption action. But the fact is the Federal Reserve has been a tool for the Democrats for a long time and has not been non-partisan as claimed but has actively taken steps to protect the Ruling Class all alone. Just look at how Powell waited to cut rates until after the election of 2020 for instance; he clearly was manipulating the public to the best of his ability to remove Donald Trump.
Powell is dirty and that's why there is so much screaming, even from the GOP, about this. Washington itself is a filthy, filthy place.
Increasingly this reminds me of the feud between Andrew Jackson and Nicholas Biddle, President of the Second Bank of the United States. Jackson wanted to close the BOUS and Biddle was horrified he might lose his power, so he purposely tried to crash the U.S. economy to hurt Jackson's re-election chances. He didn't; Jackson won and took out the corrupt and useless Bank of the United States. We were free of that particular economic tyranny for several generations, until they created the Federal Reserve (note they didn't call the Fed a bank when they did it, knowing the distaste the public still had for central banks). Now we are supposed to believe the Fed is some purely neutral organization, laboring selflessly to give us all a better life. But have they? Since their inception they caused the Great Depression and a series of lesser depression aka recessions and have bankrupted the country by printing too much money. Inflation is almost entirely on them, for instance, and since they print all the money Congress can want it frees our representatives to be completely dissolute in their spending habits.
So now we are being told lying to Congress and wasting a couple of billion bucks is fine if it is the Fed doing it.
Time to rein that corrupt body in, if you ask me.

Socialism; the Nosferatu of Socio-Economics
Timothy Birdnow
Socialism is slavery
He's right; it says everything, including your body and mind, belong to the state and you just get yourself as a favor. Your labor is for the benefit of others. How is that NOT slavery?
And it is a doctrine of demons, leading to corruption (since those in the political class are the only ones who really benefit), hatred, poverty, and suffering of every imaginable sort.
The only good thing about socialism is that it shows how important the individual is; it's an object lesson.
Of course it's always attractive because those who have not, and even those who have less, take satisfaction in dragging down those who have a lot. And at first, while there is still plenty of residual wealth before the socialist program destroys it, the poor and lower middle class see some benefits with things like guaranteed employment and medical care and the like. But it hollows those things out too in time.
I once read a true story, a ship's log, about a bunch of seamen stranded in the Arctic. Stuck in the ice the men built igloos and had to live in them for the winter, awaiting the spring thaw. Of course, being at sea there was no firewood, so the men, who by this point were essentially mutineers, dismissed the captain's efforts to stop them and they broke up their ship for firewood. The captain tried to reason with them "when the thaw comes we'll be at sea with no boat" but all they could think about was how nice it would be to be warm.
I never finished the story - it was in a book at the main library downtown and my time ran out. But they had some Eskimo workers with them and they had their families aboard. These Eskimos (I refuse to call them Innuit in the modern fashion since Innuit are just one tribe of Eskimo) came to the captain begging for help; he was the only guy with a gun. Seems the crewmen were getting mighty hungry, and were eyeing the children with very bad intent.
This is rather like socialism; you break up your boat when the seas freeze then start thinking about eating the children. It wasn't so at first; all seemed well. But in time the situation grows more and more dire and people begin doing things they would never dream of doing.
Socialism is Noso Feratus, the Bringer of Plagues. (Nosferatu is now associated with vampires because of the famous movie by that name, and that name was chosen because it was fitting. The guy who made Nosferatu couldn't get permission from Bram Stroker's widow to use "Dracula" so he renamed his vampire Nosferatu, a corruption of Noso Feratus, Romanian for bringer of plagues.)

White Girls Gone Wild
Timothy Birdnow
Why do white bitches be crazy?
Wolf's theory is that women have gotten exactly what they set out to create - a bunch of soy-influenced, testosterone free beta males who kowtow to them, but their desires are for real men even while they hate them because real men won't bow to them. So they like to go to protests to be arrested and confronted by just such real men.
She may have something there.
I used to despise Naomi Wolf but she seems to have grown up some from her radical feminism and apparently sees the modern variant of feminism, at least, for what it is. Nobody benefits from it. One would think the feminist women would, but it is something wholly at odds with Nature and Nature's God and the feminists are the most unhappy of all people.
That's also why we are seeing so many transsexual murderers these days; they too are swimming against the stream, going against what God made them. Feminists are no different.
So it may well be these crazy white women are secretly trying to be close to the thing they have long sought to destroy.
As the author of the piece says at the end, women without men go nuts; they have nothing to constrain them (One could argue men without women will often do likewise, but in a very different way). Male and female He made them, as the Bible says, and God set different roles for the sexes. Go against those at your peril.
BTW I was watching Naked and Afraid last night and the woman was a white lesbian while the guy was a young asian fellow. The man was very nice and he showed a lot of class while this lesbian chick was NASTY to him and actually blamed him for her insulting him because he "made her feel like she did when her father threw her out of the house" when the guy did nothing. The fact is this chick was just nuts, and the guy stayed in while she wound up tapping out rather than have him anywhere around her. He showed a lot of class at the end and even said "I still think she's a good person" despite her having insulted and mocked him in every way imaginable. These are the white bitches who be crazy, and she was probably thrown out of her house as a teenager for being so nasty to her father as well, not because she was gay as she consoled herself. It was no doubt her behavior, not her sexuality.
I have no doubt this chick hates Donald Trump and any other alpha male, even while deep down wishing for an alpha boyfriend. She eschewed men in general precisely because she feared them and longed for her daddy's approval but didn't get it because she was so nasty.
I think Wolf - a lesbian herself - knows of what she speaks.

Jake the Fake
Timothy Birdnow
Hmmm...I don't recall hearing Jake Tapper demand the prosecution of the man who shot Ashli Babbitt.
Funny how Tapper just happened to have those clips ready to run, isn't it?
FTA:
Tapper then responded by playing a clip from the Capitol riot, during which over 100 law enforcement officers were injured, questioning if they would have been justified in using deadly force. Tapper also noted President Donald Trump issued a blanket 2025. A Capitol Police officer shot and killed one of those who stormed the building.
The fact is had any of those officers been in any real danger on J6 they would have been justified using lethal force and Tapper knows it too. The fact is none were in real danger. Yes, there was scuffling with the police but no weapons. A car is a quarter ton weapon of death in the wrong hands.

Upside Down Flag in Ferguson
Timothy Birdnow
Postal workers in Ferguson, Missouri turned the U.S. flag upside down, likely in some sort of protest against the Trump Administration or against ICE.
Neighbors in the community were very disturbed upon seeing the upside-down flag, which is a symbol of national distress. Increasingly the Left uses it as a form of protest.
There are strict rules regarding the handling of the flag and turning it upside down is an abuse of that flag in cases of pure partisanship.
Locals said they saw a group of postal workers arrive early and quickly turn the flag over.
The U.S. post office is a corporation that is wholly owned by the U.S. government and as such is subject to all rules and regulations of any government bureaucracy. Heads need to roll over this.
Where were these people when Biden let in millions of illegal aliens to run amok? They didn't turn the flag over then. They didn't turn the flag over when the Biden Administration was spying on Americans, or when it was strongarming social media outlets to censor Americans, nor when they tried to frame the President.. Where were they when the election of 2020 was stolen?
None of that warranted turning the flag over yet now we need it done because the Trump Administration is actually following the laws duly passed BY CONGRESS and supported by the American People.
This is disgraceful.
Ferguson was the birthplace of Black Lives Matter and the center of the rioting and looting that occurred after the justified shooting of "Big" Mike Brown, the man who beat up a store clerk and stole cigars then tried to beat up a police officer who attempted to get him to walk on the sidewalk rather than the middle of the street (blocking traffic). "Hands up! Don't Shoot!" was always a lie but it was the rallying cry to start na;tionwide rioting and this is more of the same sorts of lies, by government workers no less. Maybe it's time to close the USPS altogether.
