Grok, on X was asked about this picture

The image is from 2020 protests, but in the current 2026 context of ICE shootings and unrest in Minneapolis, similar armed sightings have occurred. In a Jan 16 incident, Raul Gutierrez was charged with stealing a rifle from a vandalized FBI vehicle and illegal possession. No specific outcome for the pictured individuals, as it’s an old photo. Ongoing protests continue.

In the doghouse… Belgian court jails wife who boiled, starved, and caged her husband with their 60 chihuahuas, rejecting excuse of menopause and stress
A Belgian judge was unimpressed by claims that early menopause explained months of extreme domestic abuse that left a 48-year-old man a “burned skeleton”

“Miller makes the case for Greenland hostile takeover.”
After we control Greenland, it will be our staging area for attacking Canada.
After all, Canada has a tiny population for such a huge territory.
From our “Golden Dome” bases in Canada, Alaska, and Greenland, we can face the Boss Monster––Russia.

Jake Lang, a pro-ICE demonstrater got severely beat up by the liberal mob in Minneapolis not too long ago. Police actually did come, but left shortly thereafter. Evidently there has been a National Guard sighting. It’s heating up.

This Trump term is the most exciting ride since the old Kiefer Sutherland TV series “24”!

Mama Pajama

The U.S. acquired the Virgin Islands by purchasing them from Denmark for $25 million in 1917, driven by strategic military interests near the Panama Canal and a desire to prevent German control during World War I. Denmark, facing financial burdens from the islands after slavery abolition, agreed to sell the Danish West Indies (St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John) under the Treaty of the Danish West Indies, with formal transfer on March 31, 1917, making them the U.S. Virgin Islands.

So what’s different now?

The US at that time threatened to invade – the same is happening today. The US at the time was protecting national security .
Is the resistance now totally TDS or is there more?

Would educating the public make a difference?

Trump has now said publicly multiple times that he wants Greenland for the Golden Dome.

That’s it, it’s not about rare earths as some have said, it’s about having a missile defense system.

So let’s analyze that — do we really need a Golden Dome.

Who is shooting missiles at us — nobody.

Who has shot missiles at us in the past — nobody.

There really is no need for the Golden Dome — and it probably wouldn’t work anyway, and it will cost Trillions to find out.

I could watch this guy all day! God’s creation is so disconnected from the evil around us. Maybe that is what I enjoy so much about being in my deer stand! Just the sound of the rustling of tree leaves and the squirrels and chickadees and turkeys and whatever else God allows me to enjoy!!

I believe that is one of the reasons the men of the Bible would be out in the fields when they were in communion with God? Out there the distractions are gone. My wife can’t understand why I’d get up at 4:00 on a freezing morning and go out to sit 20’ up in a tree!😂. I guess some things just can’t be explained. You have to be there.

In the same way that Pence completely failed in his role during the 2020 election certification (or succeeded as a resistance party member), in 2028, Vance will be in that role, but also a candidate, so that presents a conflict of interest.

Who/what position is the backup for this to avoid the conflict and ENSURE that blue state cheating is exposed BEFORE certification is simply rubber-stamped?

“In the interest of public safety, we’re confiscating your guns. And no, you won’t be getting them back.” – Ray Nagin, Democrat mayor of New Orleans in August of 2005, during Hurricane Katrina.

“Hell Yes, We’re going to take your AR-15s, your AK-47s” – Beto O’Rourke, Democrat presidential candidate, 2019.

“I support a mandatory ‘buy-back’ (forced confiscation) program” – Kamala Harris, Democrat presidential nominee, 2023.

Europe will bitch and whine, but keep sucking up to us for trade and protection.

Europe gains by having their western and northern flanks eventually protected by the US spending on its own defense by building radars and counter nuclear missile capabilities in Greenland. Europe’s GDP is about 7 times Russia’s GDP, so they can easily afford a dominant military defending their east flank.

No matter how much 57,000 Greenlanders would like independence, the USA will protect itself from Russian and Chinese attempts to dominate the Arctic. Pretending Greenland is a separate country, or not, won’t change what America needs for protection in the 2030s and 2040s.

China says it will build 15 aircraft carriers by the mid 1930s. Guess who they plan to use them against? Right now, the US is down to 10 aircraft carriers. Yeah, maybe aircraft carriers are gonna be big old obsolete targets. China already has a large fleet of smaller ships, and, much more ship building infrastructure than we have.
