Trump floats shocking new excuse for taking Greenland



President Donald Trump dropped a stunning new excuse for why the United States should take over Greenland Friday.

Trump was meeting with American oil executives over the military incursion of Venezuela and his goals to shift the country's oil production to benefit the U.S. when a reporter asked about Venezuela and if the country would be considered an ally.

"Right now they seem to be an ally and I think it'll continue to be an ally," Trump said. "We don't want to have Russia there. We don't want to have China there. And by the way, we don't want Russia or China going to Greenland, which if we don't take Greenland, you're going to have Russia or China as your next door neighbor. That's not going to happen."

Knowles, YAF, and Professional Provocation

If you didn’t get it before, perhaps you’ll get it now. Michael Knowles is not a political philosopher or thinker. He does not share novel ideas worth anyone’s serious engagement. He is a propagandist whose sole job is to provoke the left. That’s it – he exists to trigger the libs. Or to make libs cry. Or to troll the

NYS DOT And The Little Engine That Won’t

I recently spent a vacation in Italy, where the trains run more or less on time and the high-speed rail network is extensive and genuinely fast. On a dedicated track, our train reached 250 km/h (155 mph) for lengthy portions of travel. The Northeast and Southern Canada are uniquely positioned to benefit – and profit – from high-speed rail. The

Fusion Fracture in Erie County

Ever since the days of Joe Illuzzi’s website’s unabashed paid shilling for the so-called Independence Party and its then-chairman, a Springville barber, I have assailed the inherent corruption of electoral fusion. This quirk – unique to New York and only a few other states – allows parties a mechanism by which to endorse another party’s candidate for office. The lore

Michael Knowles at UB’s Thursday Night Pogrom

The hilariously misnomered “Young Americans for Freedom” right-wing club has invited Michael Knowles – a right-wing polemicist angling to be a dollar-store Julius Streicher for Gen-Z – to speak at SUNY Buffalo. Knowles made headlines literally just this week by calling for the “eradication” of “transgenderism” from “public life entirely,” then whining about coverage that correctly interpreted this as genocidal.

CaBoom Goes the Cover-Up

When someone deletes a Twitter account – the official term is “deactivate” – one typically has thirty days within which to reactivate the account and to restore it to its most recent published state. It is also possible for a person simply to change their username, and unless you know the new account name there is no easy way to

Good Riddance

People who aren’t funny and have no sense of humor shouldn’t attempt humor. People who are transparently nursing and prosecuting grievances – and won’t shut up about them – should not simultaneously pretend that they are acting out of a sense of civic duty. This is insulting the intelligence of literally anyone. People shouldn’t lie over and over and over
