□ [“NATO Secretly Discussing Sending Troops to Greenland"]

I'm not saying they're going to fight space aliens but we've gone from Trump bragging about taking the country to the rest of NATO seeing some reason to get involved.  They haven't been willing to do this for Ukraine, but Greenland must be protected at all costs!

It's possible that this is just a reason to make Europe realize that they have absolutely no military force, so only the countries with nukes would have any actual defense against an enemy.  They've eagerly ignored this while demanding war against Russia, now they get to see what it looks like if the US turns against them.  If they have any competent military leaders, and they probably don't, those should be speaking out and saying how pathetic they look.

But I'm starting to wonder if something else really is going on up north.  Greenland is the most northern landmass, especially as a full country, entirely above 60 degrees latitude.  The only other places that high are a lot of Canada, most of Alaska, most of Russia, most of Scandinavia and Iceland.  Move up 10 degrees and there are very small parts of those nations, but you still haven't reached the large part of Greenland.  Population probably isn't very big but it's still an organized location with a lot of empty space.

The Arctic is an ocean so you can't stay there, thanks to global warming, but the landmass is more permanent, so it just seems like someone is doing something up there.  There's a convincing argument that Trump is just inspiring NATO members to actually build their militaries but what else could be going on up there?

□ [“CNN’s Embarrassing On-Air Gaffe - 'Obama Bin Laden'"]

I go back and forth on if the networks and official news sources are sending out hidden signals for 'those in the know' or if they're just making idiotic mistakes.  If I had to guess, I'd say this was the latter, but obviously there's no proof either way.  The big tell will be if anyone actually loses their job for this.

It wasn't just a slip of the tongue, that would be embarrassing but it happens.  The guy delivering this report was talking about a prisoner in Camp Gitmo and got his name wrong too.  This was on the graphic behind him, meaning someone had to have made the graphic, someone had to approve of it, someone had to put it on the air and no one noticed through the broadcast.

Would it be more embarrassing to say that everyone at CNN is too stupid to realize what they're doing or to say they knew about this but it was deliberate?  Pretty sure tv networks have people who get paid to watch the broadcast and make sure there's no mistakes that will get them in trouble.  But this guy kept quiet the whole time.

On the other hand, if it was deliberate, this must be a major signal.  No clue what it's about or who it's for - although Obama and modern-day al-Qaida are probably included - but this is CNN.  They send secret messages and propaganda and they're all out of propaganda.

□ [“Frustrated Chicagoans Cheer ICE Deportations and Efforts Targeting Sanctuary Policies"]

Still nothing in the way of evidence, but collectively there does seem to be a growing sense of hope and progress from the first three weeks of Trump 2.0.  I don't have to live in Chicago [thank God] but they can probably see the violent invaders reducing in number.  They see a major benefit to getting rid of these criminals which their Democrat leaders should have done years ago, or never even let it happen in the first place.

I've heard anecdotally that there are examples of cities (or states) suddenly moving on actual projects that help people, things like repairing damaged streets.  Haven't seen that in my location, but it sounds like either the people in charge have realized they need to do something that actually helps their citizens.  Either that or with DEI and leftists suddenly fired, they have time and money to focus on these projects.  I hope that's true and that this keeps growing.

It's still amazing that this has happened in just three weeks.  All the talk liberals make about how only government can get things done and only they can run it competently has just been washed away.  They just seem totally lost, how can they possibly win elections fairly [!] when they've never even considered actually doing basic tasks like this?  Even if they were capable of forming a resistance, what can they actually do to convince any sane person of siding with them?

□ [“Obama Judge Temporarily Blocks DOGE Access to Important Treasury Dept. Payment System"]

I'm not focusing a lot on what the latest news is on this stuff.  I want a list of spending atrocities, but just being told whether or not DOGE has gotten access isn't that relevant to me.  Or if some judge has denied access.  Democrats are usually slow on appointing judges but in Biden's last few months, suddenly they started being installed.  This is obviously why, because they would be the only ones who had any way to stand up against Trump and DOGE.

Not complaining, it's a valid tactic, but I don't think it'll work very well.  At most it'll be a waste of time.  I'm pretty sure Trump+ have checked for precedents in these things.  It's already been noted that DOGE was a pre-existing executive office established by Obama, Trump just changed its tasks.  A simple internet search shows that other executive offices have changed over time.  The Department of Commerce wasn't created to cover A.I. or global warming, yet that's been added.  Jimmy Carter established FEMA and not for global warming either.

Not clear how much of this is Trump trying to push new rules through, or accomplish what he can while there's still time.  It's also possible that he's just trying to make it clearer to everyone the distinction between the three branches, and specifically the POTUS authority when Congress doesn't do anything.  As far as a judge blocking any given executive order, he's probably already worked out how to get around that, so this judge's verdict is essentially meaningless.  Those that are relevant will need to be proven in court or by some established law.

The left can't even think of things like that.  They're whining about how the government now has access to our social security numbers which the government issued us in the first place.  Which we need to use when we want to get a bank account or buy insurance as Obamacare required us to do.  It's not just that these lazy leftist bureaucrats can't play the game, they don't even know what the sport is.
