Trump’s Greenland obsession didn’t emerge from nowhere. Behind the rhetoric sits a constellation of tech billionaires eyeing the island’s mineral wealth and regulatory vacuum, ZNetwork reports.
KoBold Metals, an AI-powered mining company backed by Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman, raised $537 million in early 2025 to hunt for copper, cobalt, nickel, and lithium — minerals critical for AI data centers and batteries. — Read the rest

The Democrat who said he loved going to China so much that he exaggerated how often he went there was asked about being an agent of that country, according to sources from the failed Kamala Harris presidential campaign.
The story is coming out amid reverberations over the Harris campaign’s question to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro about whether he was an agent of Israel, as noted by CNN.
“I told her how offensive the question was,” Shapiro wrote in his memoirs.
The fact that Harris supporters are using this experience as a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT which Shapiro inaccurately described as a 20 YEAR OLD and has since clarified as justification that it’s okay to ask him if he has ever been an Israeli agent is absolutely disgusting to me. 1/ pic.twitter.com/UG3N3gPoWW

The White House notified reporters that Donald Trump would be speaking at the press briefing to discuss his accomplishments during the first year of his second administration.
Any other president might have issued a statement or gathered reporters for a press conference. Trump spent nearly two hours torturing the world with his broken and depleted mind.
This is a sample of what Trump showed the world as he read from a book to reporters and held up made up wanted posters of immigrants:
These are rough characters. These are all criminal, illegal aliens. Set. In many cases, they’re murderers, they’re drug lords, drug dealers. They’re the mentally insane. There’s some of them who are brutal killers. They’re mentally insane. They’re killers, but they’re insane. These are just in Minnesota and California.
It’s worse. In other states it’s worse. No, Minnesota, the crime is incredible. The financial crimes are incredible. And the problem is because of the agitators and insurrectionists, whatever you want, troublemakers, but they’re paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians.
Americans looking for a glimpse of what a Democratic victory in this year’s midterm elections might mean got a sneak peek on Monday — and it isn’t pretty.
The country’s newest Democratic House member — Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona — made an appearance Monday on CNN’s “The Source” to opine on Sunday’s church invasion in St. Paul, Minnesota.
And with a revolting combination of ignorance, arrogance, and hypocrisy, she made it clear that for the contemporary Democrat, nothing is sacred.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder spoke at the National Action Network event for Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday and said that there is a concerted effort to re-segregate America.
In the clip, which you can watch below, Holder invokes every anti-Trump and anti-ICE talking point you can imagine in under three minutes, but it is his remarks on re-segregation that truly boggle the mind.

In a move that is not a shock to anyone except for those who were psyopped into believing Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., was a “moderate,” Democrats are poised to make life a little easier for rapists and murderers.
Spanberger was sworn into office on Saturday, and radical Democrats control both houses of Virginia’s General Assembly. Legislative proposals have been streaming in, many of which aim to ban guns, rig elections, disenfranchise Virginians, kill unborn babies, and tax just about everything under the sun.
Danish politician Anders Vistisen was reprimanded after telling U.S. President Donald Trump to “f–k off” — again — during a European Parliament floor speech amid the president’s constant threats to take over Greenland.
Vistisen, 38, addressed Trump, 79, during a speech to the European Union’s legislative body, saying, “Dear President Trump, listen very carefully. Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated country. It is not for sale.”
“Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, f–k off,” he added.
U.S. President Donald Trump addressed Prime Minister Mark Carney directly in a speech Wednesday to the World Economic Forum, saying that “Canada lives because of the United States.”
“I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn’t so grateful, but they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States,” Trump said.
“Remember that Mark, the next time you make your statements.”
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.
A statement from his office said Netanyahu would become a member of the board “which is to be comprised of world leaders”.
The board was originally thought to be aimed at helping end the two-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and oversee reconstruction. But its proposed charter does not mention the Palestinian territory and appears to be designed to supplant functions of the UN.
Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have also agreed to join, as have Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Turkey and Vietnam.

Less than three weeks after Zohran Mamdani’s rousing inauguration speech, his supporters are expressing concern over his administration’s first major compromise: the reappointment of Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, an architect of the New York Police Department’s repressive surveillance policing apparatus who has shown a willingness to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Opponents of Tisch’s role in the administration have been vocal since the decision was made to reappoint her on Nov. 19. In early December, a coalition of more than 120 organizations called on the mayor-elect to “drop Tisch,” citing a range of issues “from New York to Palestine.” They were joined by the Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys – UAW Local 2325, representing over 3,500 legal services workers in the New York City metro area, which published a statement urging Mamdani to “drop Tisch immediately.”
World has entered an era of ‘global water bankruptcy,’ U.N. warns
Humans are using more water than Earth can support, with many water sources already damaged beyond repair, a report from the United Nations found
Humans use more water than the planet can support, entering an era of “global water bankruptcy,” a new report from the United Nations warns. Almost 75 percent of the world’s population now lives in countries that are experiencing significant water insecurity, according to the report.
Rivers, lakes, wetlands and other water sources are already “damaged beyond realistic prospects of full recovery,” the report states.
The report compares the situation to a bank account going into the red: humans are using more water than our planet can produce and using more water that is stored in sources such as glaciers, wetlands and aquifers.

While Minnesotans were being fleeced out of an estimated $9 billion in a sprawling Somali social services fraud scandal, Rep. Ilhan Omar and her husband were quietly amassing a fortune, House Republicans say.
The House Oversight Committee is now digging into Omar’s sudden surge in family wealth, with Chairman Rep. James Comer saying staff attorneys are weighing whether to subpoena her husband, Tim Mynett, over what he called questionable business dealings.
“We’re going to get answers, whether it’s through the Ethics Committee or the Oversight Committee, one of the two,” Comer told The Post.
I really do try to write about other issues. But the awfulness keeps on coming.
Yesterday, I called attention to the Canadian bioethicist who claimed that lethal jabs are no different than hip replacements. Today, I came across an awful story out of Australia in which Tony Lewis, age 71 and experiencing Motor Neurone Disease — what we call ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease — has asked for euthanasia because he was denied sufficient financial support for his disability. From the Hello Care report:
A Queensland man with Motor Neurone Disease has chosen to access voluntary assisted dying after being denied support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme because of his age, reigniting concerns about Australia’s two-tier approach to disability and aged care.
Tony Lewis is 71. Diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease last year, he falls outside the eligibility criteria for the NDIS, which excludes people diagnosed after the age of 65. Instead, he must rely on the aged care system, where funding levels and response times are widely acknowledged as inadequate for fast progressing neurological conditions.
The videos coming out of Minneapolis, of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers apprehending illegal immigrants in the streets while having to fight off aggressive and sometimes violent anti-ICE activists, are the predictable result of a Democrat strategy that amounts to nullification.
I mean nullification in the historical sense, like the Nullification Crisis of 1832 when South Carolina declared federal tariffs to be null and void within the boundaries of the state, and President Andrew Jackson threatened to send in the U.S. Army to enforce federal law.
Good news, everybody! We’re well on our way to making “The Purge” a year-long reality.
You know “The Purge” — the movie franchise in which, for one night a year, all lawlessness is tolerated so that humanity can get it out of their system. It’ll take a while to get there, sure. But for the second time in five years, leftists in general and Minneapolis leftists in particular want to give the theory that undergirds it a trial run by deciding which laws we can choose to obey.
Leaders of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, are actively evaluating legal action following a disruptive protest that interrupted their Sunday worship service on Sunday. The disruption occurred after anti-ICE activists, accompanied by former CNN anchor Don Lemon, targeted the church due to a member’s affiliation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.
In an official statement released by the church elders, they described the incident as “shameful, unlawful, and [that] will not be tolerated,” confirming they are “evaluating next steps with our legal counsel.”

Watch: BBC asks if breakup of Nato is price Trump willing to pay for Greenland
US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his threats to take control of Greenland, saying there is “no going back”.
Asked at a news conference how far he was willing to go to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory, he replied: “You’ll find out.”
It comes after French President Emmanuel Macron warned of a “shift towards a world without rules”, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the “old order is not coming back”.
