The Catechism we are reading follows the structure of the Apostles' Creed with frequent references to the Nicene Creed for further details and explanations. Together, these Creeds aid us in articulating the beliefs we share with all members of the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike discusses why St. Ambrose refers to the Creed as “an ever-present guardian” and “treasure of our soul.” He encourages us not to take this gift for granted. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 193-197. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Tsherin Sherpa is a remarkable Himalayan artist who draws on Buddhist iconography to explore sexuality, gender, consumerism, and identity. I first met him 25 years ago, when he was teaching thangka painting in the San Francisco Bay Area and I was a young Buddhist hoping to learn how to paint devotional images. Since then, Tsherin has become one of the most respected contemporary artists in the world, representing Nepal at the Venice Biennale.For the full 90-minute dialogue, visit trainahappymind.org and join our Train a Happy Mind community. To watch the 30-minute edited version, featuring images of the art we discuss, go to our YouTube channel.Episode 213: Art & Emptiness: Tsherin Sherpa on Tradition, Identity, & FreedomIf you'd like to practice with others and bring these ideas into your life, join our weekly meditation community with Scott.

Today we further realize the sense of the word “credo,” meaning “I believe.” As we read the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, we discover the differences between the two and come to understand how the Nicene Creed, which came centuries later, expands upon and explains the beliefs of the Apostles' Creed. Fr. Mike tells us that these Creeds help us to share the essential elements of Catholicism, acting as “symbols of faith,” and encouraging communion between believers.

Londinium Winter 92AD. The debate shifts to the "Greenland affair," which Germanicus contextualizes as part of a long, often "piratical" tradition of American territorial expansion, comparable to the Louisiana Purchase. Rather than a mere real estate deal, this is portrayed as an attempt to establish a sovereign American sphere of influence over the entire Western Hemisphere, the Pacific, and the "American republic" itself, rejecting post-Soviet globalism. Germanicussuggests this aggressive posture is necessary because the U.S. is governed by "sclerotic" elites and domestic instability.1899 GREENLAND

The Steelers stun the league by hiring 62-year-old Mike McCarthy, a total departure from Pittsburgh's decades-long model of young, defensive-minded lifers. Evan and Tiki debate what it says about a shifting NFL philosophy, how long McCarthy realistically lasts, and the bigger question that decides everything: who is the quarterback? That conversation quickly turns into Aaron Rodgers speculation, with the guys reading the tea leaves on a Vikings pivot and why Pittsburgh feels like it needs a “Jets-style” veteran swing. Calls follow on parity in today's NFL, coaching candidates, and the absurdity of “scripted” theories, before breaking news detonates the segment: Shedeur Sanders gets added to the Pro Bowl roster, prompting a rant about how meaningless the Pro Bowl label has become. They wrap with a debate on officiating, replay, and why the league still won't fully commit to technology like a chipped football to eliminate the biggest spot-of-the-ball controversies.

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Louise Reid and Anna McRobert for a rich conversation about intimacy with God, learning to hear Him clearly, and living with the volume set correctly.Emma shares a hard-won practice for turbulent seasons: turn down the noise of circumstances and turn up the certainty of His voice. Louise opens a simple but profound question she's been asking the Lord: “Who are You to me today?” and how that re-centres everything. Anna tells her story of moving from a more traditional faith framework into spiritual sight and confident hearing, including the moment she first heard God's voice as a teenager.This episode is full of practical prompts you can use immediately:“Who are You to me today?”“Where is Your hand today?”“I give You everything, and I give You everyone.”If you want to go deeper, download the Power TV app for exclusive podcast power resources and activation.

The missionary spirt of the Catholic Church is driven by a sincere desire to deliver the truth for those poor souls who are without it. Sadly, the ideology of ecumenism has both deprived the Church of this spirit and promoted the idea about what is good in other religions. By the great grace we have been given as Catholics, it is incumbent upon us to spread the faith, to teach others who want to know, and by our acts, demonstrate how knowing God's revelation has transformed our lives and can transform others as well.

As Catholics, we can't pick and choose the areas of Church teaching we want to accept; we must believe the entire truth of the Faith because we believe in God, who has revealed it to us. Fr. Mike teaches us to pray daily to be good students as we learn and grow from our mother, the Church. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 176-184.

Stefan Molyneux digs into the philosophical roots of how morals and culture get passed down, looking at how societies build up over time through shared knowledge. He points out the risks when governments take over education, swapping out long-held values for ideas that suit their own agendas and wearing away at cultural foundations. Molyneux breaks down what happens when authority moves from families to the state, saying it opens the door to brainwashing and breaks the links between older and younger folks. He picks apart the flaws in everyday ways of justifying right and wrong, pushing instead for a moral setup that's consistent across the board and rooted in logic. In the end, he urges building a system of ethics based on solid reasoning and facts, while cautioning about the downsides of seeing morals as relative or letting politics push too far.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

As we wrap up the current section, we learn about the unity of faith and how the Church is meant to be united in Christ through apostolic succession. In addition, Fr. Mike reminds us that, as Catholics, we don't just believe in formulas. We believe in the realities those formulas express. Lastly, Fr. Mike encourages us to trust in the Church, who guards the truths of the Faith and passes them down through the ages. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 170-175.

In dieser BierTalk-Folge geht's nach Traunstein – in eine Stadt, in der Bier nicht nur Getränk ist, sondern Geschichte, Stolz und Alltag. Ich bin zu Gast im Hofbräuhaus Traunstein und spreche mit Matthias Sailer, dem ersten Braumeister des Hauses – und einem Mann, der seit über 20 Jahren für genau diese unverwechselbare Traunsteiner Braukunst steht. Wir schauen gemeinsam zurück bis 1612, als hier bereits gebraut wurde, und erzählen, wie sich die Brauerei vom ursprünglichen Weißbier-Betrieb unter Herzog Maximilian bis zum modernen, privat geführten Unternehmen entwickelt hat. Und natürlich geht es um Matthias ganz persönlichen Weg: vom Schulprojekt in der 9. Klasse bis zum Braumeister mit 20 – inklusive seiner Leidenschaft für Weißbier und der Frage, warum die berühmten „Bananennoten“ eben nicht einfach so passieren. Dazu gibt's eine Verkostung mit fünf Bieren: vom alkoholfreien Zwickl über Helles und Pils bis zu Dunklem Weißbier und Dunklem Doppelbock. Eine Folge über Braukultur, Erfahrung – und darüber, wie Tradition lebendig bleibt, wenn man sie wirklich versteht. Prost!

While faith is deeply personal, it is not an isolated act. Today, Fr. Mike reflects on the reality that our faith is communal. It is lived out and passed down in the context of community. We also learn that faith is truly the beginning of eternal life. Despite the sufferings of this world, when we walk by faith, we experience a taste of heaven here and now.

Holy Mother Church assigns the liturgical calendar to reinforce crucial lessons for our lives. Of the seven sacraments, two are designated by God for the good of society: the priesthood and marriage. At the Wedding at Cana, God specifically elevated what was natural to the supernatural by blessing that union. God's grace given through these sacraments are meant to give us the strength to fulfill their ends. In marriage specifically, we are are called upon to undertake the blessing that Our Lord gave us from the beginning, namely to be fruitful and multiply while also supporting our spouse with care and love.

Around October 2025, I came up with an idea for our 2026 Trub Club recipe kits (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=21132635). My plan – to feature clone recipe kits of our country’s most popular and longstanding craft beer AND I wanted to interview the brewmaster each month to learn more about the history of their brewery and the beer that made them so popular. Think about it! How cool is it to chat with brewmasters that are responsible for beer that have pioneered and shaped craft beer as we know it? With all of that being said, I am so thrilled that we’re starting off 2026 VERY strong by featuring a Texas OG: Shiner Bock. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve certainly heard about and likely have consumed your fair share of Shiner Bock. I was so excited when their brewmaster, Greg Hybner, replied to my email and agreed to come on the show. Not only did we have a great conversation for the podcast, he was also an exceptional host and gave me a true VIP tour of the campus. I can’t say enough nice things about Greg and the beer speaks for itself so make sure you grab yourself a six pack or even a case sometime soon.With all of that being said, I hope you’re ready because it’s officially time for the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

Masterpiece Audiobooks: Collection of Chinese Classic Novels

Fr. Mike continues reflecting on the meaning of faith and how it works in our lives. We learn that faith is a grace from God, a supernatural virtue that is not contrary to human freedom or reason. Fr. Mike reminds us that to have faith is not just to believe in God, but to believe God and everything he says. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 150-155. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

This week Fr. Michael reflects on tradition vs canon, inspired by his recent Christmas tree decorating. (Yes, this was recorded a few weeks back!) He talks about ways to identify tradition vs canon in our individual life, our family life, and our parish life. He talks about the importance of setting norms, even for adults, but also being able to identify when flexibility is needed. Fr. Michael also talks about setting aside work for the sake of rest.References:The Great Divorce by C.S.

When we reflect on the Nativity, our minds go immediately to St. Joseph. He lived a life of uncertainty, but he was called by God to accomplish the greatest task any man in history was called upon. He may have believed he fell short of that calling, but we know he did not. He embraced this call from Our Lord and answered it with unwavering faith. He may never have believed himself sufficient to what was asked, but through prayer and faith, he accomplished the greatest calling any man could be asked to answer.

Istanbul war über Jahrtausende ein «Mosaik der Völker». Doch die nationalistische Staatsideologie der modernen Türkei leugnete die kulturelle Vielfalt. Aber es gibt eine Gegenbewegung: Menschen, die das multikulturelle Erbe der Stadt wiederbeleben wollen. Die historische Strassenbahn bimmelt auf der Flaniermeile Istiklal Caddesi an armenischen und griechischen Stadtpalästen vorbei. Wer sich umschaut, findet überall in der Bosporus-Stadt Zeugnisse der multikulturellen Vergangenheit. Doch die moderne Türkei verstand sich als Einheitsstaat: «Glücklich, wer ein Türke ist». So der Leitsatz von Republikgründer Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Bis heute sind die nationalistischen Strömungen in der Türkei stark. «International» begegnet Menschen, die genug haben von politischer Polarisierung und die multi-ethnische Tradition dieser Stadt auf zwei Kontinenten für sich neu entdecken. Can Evrensel Rodrik ist fasziniert vom jüdischen Erbe. Er gibt Kurse in der Sprache der sephardischen Juden Istanbuls und schafft so eine Verbindung zur eigenen Herkunftskultur. Mehmet Ugur Korkmaz will mit seinem Podcast «Die Kurden sind in der Stadt» dazu beitragen, dass das «kurdische Istanbul» als Teil der Identität der türkischen Mittelmeer-Metropole wahrgenommen wird. Traditionen, Stimmen, Kulturen und verschiedene Epochen flössen am Bosporus ineinander, das fasziniere sie seit ihrer Kindheit, sagt Kübra Şenyaylar. Die Musikerin bringt die Istanbuler Vielstimmigkeit mit ihrem «Koro Istanbul» zum Klingen.

Where are the traditional elements?"Zh: 明华沉思良久。En: Minghua ponders for a long time.Zh: 去年他们遵循传统路线，但今年的目标是突破。En: Last year, they followed a traditional route, but this year's goal is to break through.Zh: 而灵的提议似乎是个大胆的选择。En: And Ling's proposal seems like a bold choice.Zh: 经过几次讨论，明华决定给灵一个机会。En: After several discussions, Minghua decides to give Ling a chance.Zh: 也许创新和传统可以结合起来。En: Perhaps innovation and tradition can be combined.Zh: 时间一天天过去，终于来到最后的彩排日。En: Days pass by, and finally, it's the day of the final rehearsal.Zh: 灵的设计果然夺人眼球：五光十色的灯光洒在雪地上，仿佛龙和凤凰在空中翱翔。En: Indeed, Ling's design is eye-catching: colorful lights cast over the snowy ground as if dragons and phoenixes are soaring in the sky.Zh: 但是，结构安排却出现了问题，灯光设备没有按预期安装，整个场地一片混乱。En: However, there were problems with the setup; the lighting equipment was not installed as expected, and the entire venue was in chaos.Zh: 眼看活动即将开始，明华冷静下来，经过一番思考，他想到了一个折衷方案。En: Seeing that the event is about to start, Minghua calms down, and after some thought, he comes up with a compromise.Zh: 他在灯光设计中增加了一些传统的红灯笼，以平衡视觉效果。En: He adds some traditional red lanterns to the lighting design to balance the visual effect.Zh: 腴迅速协调人手调整布置，大家齐心协力，终于顺利完成了准备工作。En: Yu quickly coordinates people to adjust the setup, and everyone works together, finally completing the preparations smoothly.Zh: 活动的那天夜晚，灯光和灯笼交相辉映，吸引了无数人驻足观赏。En: On the night of the event, the lights and lanterns complement each other, attracting countless people who stop to admire them.Zh: 闪烁的光影和古老的建筑完美结合，游客们欢笑着拍照留念。En: The flickering lights and ancient buildings combine perfectly, as visitors laugh and take pictures to capture the memories.Zh: 最终，明华意识到创新与传统并不矛盾，它们可以和谐共存，使得这个中国新年庆祝活动成为一次难忘的体验。En: In the end, Minghua realizes that innovation and tradition are not contradictory; they can coexist harmoniously, making this Chinese New Year celebration an unforgettable experience.Zh: 有关创新的体会也让他对未来的策划工作充满了信心。En: The insights on innovation also fill him with confidence for future planning.

As we dive into a new chapter today, we learn about how we are called to respond to God's Revelation. In particular, we discover that Mary and Abraham are models of faith who show us how to be obedient by submitting our intellect and will to God. Fr. Mike assures us that even though God doesn't usually give us the whole picture of our lives, he gives us just enough light to take the next step in faith.

The Agency Brief Note ♻️ THE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT (1934) (Cold Open) "In 1934, Congress looked at a few gangsters with Tommy guns and decided to put every future gun owner on probation… forever… without ever proving we did anything wrong." (The Brief) THE ORIGIN STORY: PANIC AND OPPORTUNISM The Setup: Prohibition ends in 1933. Federal agencies face budget cuts. They need a new war. They choose "The War on Crime." The Hook: DOJ uses the St. Valentine's Day Massacre to sell a "gangster gun" crisis. The Bait & Switch: The NFA was pitched as a tax on "criminal weapons," but the original bill attempted to register all handguns. The NRA (back when they were Fudds) helped kill the handgun portion but let the rest slide. Crucial Detail: SBR/SBS restrictions were only in the bill to prevent people from hiding pistols. When pistols were removed, Congress left the SBR rules in. We are regulating barrel length today because of a 1934 legislative error. THE MECHANISM: A BAN DISGUISED AS A TAX The "Poll Tax": They couldn't ban guns (2A exists), so they used the Taxing Power. The Cost: $200 in 1934. Inflation Adjustment: That is roughly $4,500 today. Intent: It was an economic ban designed to ensure only the wealthy could own modern firepower. The Registry: The true goal was the NFRTR (National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record). Registration is always the prerequisite for confiscation. THE LEGAL COVER-UP: U.S. V. MILLER (1939) The Supreme Court case that upheld the NFA was a setup. The Fix: The defendant, Jack Miller, was dead before the decision was handed down. His court-appointed attorney did not show up to argue the case. The Ruling: The Government argued unopposed that a sawed-off shotgun had no "militia utility." The Court agreed, solely because no one was there to tell them otherwise. THE MODERN IMPACT & REGULATORY CREEP 1986 Hughes Amendment: Proved the danger of registries. Congress used the NFA list to ban all new machine guns for civilians. Note: The Hughes Amendment passed on a fraudulent voice vote where the "Nays" clearly had it, but the Speaker pushed it through. ATF Power Grabs: The NFA definitions are vague. This allows the ATF to write law without Congress (e.g., Pistol Braces, Bump Stocks, Triggers). Culture War: It normalized the "Two-Tier" system. The wealthy buy what they want; the poor get what they are given. CONSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS (POST-BRUEN) The Vulnerability: Under the Bruen test (Text, History, Tradition), the NFA is on death's door. The History: There is zero historical tradition of the Founding Fathers taxing the ownership of standard arms or creating a federal list of owners. The Argument: The government claims these weapons are "dangerous and unusual." We argue they are only unusual because the government has spent 90 years threatening to put us in prison for owning them.

Going Ballistic St. Paul Man Stands Guard with Rifle After ICE Sightings ♻️ A man in St. Paul reportedly stood guard with a rifle following sightings of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents in the area, highlighting tensions around immigration enforcement and 2nd Amendment rights. New York Targets Polymer80 Seller, Life Sentence ♻️ New York authorities are pursuing severe legal action against a seller of Polymer80 ghost gun kits, seeking a life sentence, highlighting aggressive enforcement against unserialized firearm components. U.S. Civilian Gun Ownership Reaches 500 Million ♻️ Article reports that civilian gun ownership in the United States has surpassed 500 million firearms, highlighting the scale of private armament amid ongoing debates on gun rights and statistics. Some Anti-ICE Protesters in Minnesota Are Openly Carrying: What Does the Law Say? ♻️ Article discusses anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota openly carrying firearms and examines the relevant state laws on open carry. Everytown Is Lying About Impact of National Reciprocity, Again ♻️ Article accuses Everytown for Gun Safety of misrepresenting the effects of national concealed carry reciprocity legislation, claiming their arguments exaggerate risks and ignore benefits for law-abiding gun owners. ATF/DEA Merger Appears DOA ♻️ Reports indicate that plans to merge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are effectively dead on arrival (DOA), halting a proposed consolidation of federal law enforcement agencies. NC Lawmakers Dragging Their Feet on Constitutional Carry ♻️ North Carolina lawmakers are delaying progress on constitutional carry legislation, frustrating gun rights advocates amid ongoing debates over permitless carry.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently made the admission that shutting down the German nuclear power reactors was a “severe strategic mistake.” “To have acceptable market prices for energy production again, we would have to permanently subsidize energy prices from the federal budget,” Merz said, adding: “We can't do this in the long run.” “So, we are now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire world,” Merz said with pronounced frustration. “I know of no other country that makes things so expensive and difficult as Germany.” Keep in mind, Germany represents the largest contributing economy in the European Union.  The German industrial sector is the backbone of the European economic model.

Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades.

This trade weapon has never been used before. In short, yes—a potential trade war triggered by these actions would likely inflict more economic pain on the EU than the U.S., though both sides would suffer. The asymmetry stems from trade dependencies, market sizes, and broader leverage. Trump will counter the EU Raise the threatened tariffs beyond 25% (e.g., to 50-60% on key EU goods like autos, steel, or agriculture) to force concessions. He’s already signaled willingness to go higher if no Greenland deal materializes. Impose sanctions on specific EU sectors or companies, such as luxury goods (hurting France) or tech imports, while exempting allies who break ranks (e.g., if Italy or Eastern Europe hesitate on ACI). Broader Leverage: Link trade to NATO or security, threatening to reduce U.S. troop presence in Europe or cut funding unless EU backs off. He could also accelerate “Buy American” policies to boost domestic alternatives. Publicly dismiss the ACI as “weak” or “all talk” via X or statements, then push for bilateral deals with individual EU countries to divide the bloc (e.g., deals with the UK post-Brexit).  If ACI activates, pursue WTO challenges or rally non-EU allies (e.g., Canada, Japan) against EU measures, while advancing U.S. Arctic strategy independently.   https://twitter.com/FUDdaily/status/2012668421612183897?s=20  on stolen IP with fraudulent certification, and made with slave labour, while plundering the world’s oceans and polluting the planet like no other. Then as Europe deindustrialises and offshores its manufacturing to China (along with the knowledge economy that goes with it), it passively allows China to subvert its customs enforcement and tariff regime, and rolls out the red carpet for industrial scale data theft. Make no mistake. China IS at war with the West. This is an economic war that’s been going on for thirty years or more. But Western liberals would rather align with China because Orange man bad. That’s the mentality we’re dealing with here. For sure, China isn’t planning on invading the West, but they don’t need to – because we’re already handing over everything of value without a fight. https://twitter.com/OpenSourceZone/status/2012615143331352606?s=20   https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2012140279965401446?s=20 U.S. Economy Best Served by Independent Federal Reserve, Fed's Kashkari Says Kashkari says that the Fed's policy committee is focused on its economic goals as it deals with a complex scenario of a cooling labor market and inflation The U.S. economy is best served by having an independent Federal Reserve that executes monetary-policy decisions based only on data and analysis, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said in a virtual conversation with the Wisconsin Bankers Association. With a new Fed chair on the horizon, and increased pressure on the committee after it received subpoenas from the Justice Department late last week relating to Chair Jerome Powell's testimony about renovations of the central bank's headquarters in Washington, Kashkari said Wednesday that the Fed's policy committee is focused on its economic goals as it deals with a complex scenario of a cooling labor market and inflation that has remained above its 2% target.

Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades.

Hans Mahncke has a solid take on the bigger picture: “The notion that America wants Greenland for its raw materials is either insanely ignorant or just engagement bait. Extracting anything in the Arctic is prohibitively expensive, and often physically impossible, with extreme cold, thick ice, equipment that won't function, and no roads, rail or ports to move anything once you have it. The real reason America needs Greenland is its immense geostrategic military value, which should be obvious to anyone with a functioning brain, especially anyone who has ever looked at a map from above, with the North Pole at the center. Sure, some tasks could be outsourced to NATO, but that alliance is on its last legs, burdened by too many countries with conflicting priorities, and has mainly served as a way for Europe to freeload on US security guarantees. Relying on it for American national security is reckless. It's far smarter to cut out the endless middlemen and take direct control.” (source) As also noted by Jim Ferguson: “Ursula von der Leyen just went on camera and declared that Greenland “belongs to Denmark and NATO” — directly rebuking President Trump. Let's translate that. This isn't about the Greenlandic people. This is about Brussels panicking because Trump is exposing the Arctic power game. Greenland controls: • the northern missile corridor • Arctic shipping lanes • and the gateway to North America That makes it one of the most important strategic territories on Earth. And Trump said the quiet part out loud: If the U.S. doesn't secure it, China or Russia will. Von der Leyen's response wasn't to protect the West, it was to protect EU control. She wrapped it in pretty words about “NATO unity” — but what she really meant was: Brussels gets a veto over American security. That's what this is about. Trump isn't breaking the alliance. he's breaking the illusion that unelected EU bureaucrats get to decide the future of the Arctic. Greenland is not a Brussels bargaining chip; it is the northern shield of the United States, and for the first time in decades, America has a president willing to say it. Ursula doesn't hate Trump because he's reckless, she hates him because he won't let Europe freeload on American security while selling the future to Beijing.” Source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/kadmitriev/status/2012621940402368862?s=20   War/Peace Iraq takes full control of air base after US withdrawal, defence ministry says  U.S. forces have withdrawn from Iraq’s Ain al-Asad Airbase, which housed U.S.-led forces in Western Iraq, and the Iraqi army has assumed full control, the Iraqi defence ministry said on Saturday.

NONE of this would be possible without President Trump and Secretary Rubio's leadership! The work continues.   Trump Appoints Rubio, Witkoff, Kushner, And Blair To Gaza ‘Board Of Peace’ The White House announced on Jan. 16 the names of members appointed to the Gaza Board of Peace, which President Donald Trump created as part of phase two of a U.S.-backed plan to end the war in Gaza. Among the “founding executive board” members are U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, presidential special envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The board also includes private equity executive Marc Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and U.S. national security adviser Robert Gabriel, according to a White House statement. The board, to be chaired by Trump, will oversee the Palestinian technocratic committee—also known as the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG)—which will be led by former Palestinian Authority official Ali Abdel Hamid Shaath. The White House said each of the members will be tasked with managing Gaza's “governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilization,” which it said are vital to the enclave's stability and long-term success. The administration also named Aryeh Lightstone and Josh Gruenbaum as senior advisers to manage the board's daily strategy and operations, and appointed Nickolay Mladenov, a Bulgarian diplomat and former United Nations envoy to the Middle East, as the high representative for Gaza. Trump also tapped Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers to lead the International Stabilization Force, which will oversee security operations and the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials to Gaza. The administration also announced a separate 11-member executive board, comprising some of the founding members, which will support both the technocratic committee and Mladenov's office. In announcing the board's formation on Jan. 15, Trump said the United States will work with Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar to secure an agreement that will require Hamas to surrender all weapons and dismantle its tunnel network. “Hamas must immediately honor its commitments, including the return of the final body to Israel, and proceed without delay to full Demilitarization,” the president said.  Source: zerohedge.com   https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2012227016418816311?s=20    https://twitter.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2012568999738163323?s=20  the slaughter of its people.

However, in a statement on their X account the officials note, the guard “are not deployed to city streets at this time, but are ready to help support public safety, including protection of life, preservation of property and supporting the rights of all who assemble peacefully.” This is likely a proactive move to block President Trump from invoking the ‘insurrection act' to stop the chaos being fueled by the governor himself as well as professional leftists in the region.
