Time to Invoke the 25th Amendment of the Constitution

U.S. President Donald Trump has linked his drive to take control of Greenland to his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize, saying he no longer thought “purely of Peace” as the row over the island threatened to reignite a trade war with Europe.

Asked by NBC News in a brief telephone interview on Monday if he would use force to seize Greenland, Trump said “No comment,” adding he would “100%” follow through on plans to hit European nations with tariffs without a Greenland deal.

GOP Rep. McCaul says a US invasion of Greenland would mean ‘war with NATO itself’!

On January 18, 2026, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez warned a U.S. invasion of Greenland would damage NATO and `legitimize` Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, telling La Vanguardia it `would make Vladimir Putin the happiest man in the world`.

President Trump posted on Truth Social that a 10% tariff on Denmark goods starts February 1, rising to 25% on June 1 until a Greenland purchase deal is reached.

Leaders in Denmark and Greenland said the island is not for sale and almost 10 per cent of Greenlandic protesters marched chanting `Greenland is not for sale` on Saturday.

Sánchez warned on January 18, 2026, that `If the United States were to use force, it would be the death knell for NATO`, remarks published amid rising tensions between Washington and European allies.

European leaders warned as Keir Starmer, UK Prime Minister, called tariff threats `completely wrong` and Emmanuel Macron, President of France, deemed them `unacceptable` ahead of February 1.

Trump says we need Greenland for National security

I say we need a new president for National Security.

What has happened to the United States?

What has happened to my country? President Donald Trump has made himself the dictator of the country and has chosen to attack both friends and foes in his pursuit of his desire to control the world. It appears as dictator he intends to enable China to control all of east Asia and Russia to control all of Europe.

Sadly the U.S. congress has become a puppet. The constitution will no longer be the basic law and will be a piece of history. The 250th anniversary of the United States will also mark the end of our democracy.

I am crying.

No Reverse Migration

As reported by the Associated Press, President Donald Trump says he wants to “permanently pause migration” from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status. He is blaming immigrants for problems from crime to housing shortages as part of “social dysfunction” in America and demanding “REVERSE MIGRATION.”

What happened to the words on the Statue of Liberty?  “Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” is inscribed on a plaque on the pedestal inside the statue, not on the tablet itself.

Everyone in America except native Americans are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. Immigrants made the United States what it is today. Donald Trump’s Reverse Migration idea is opposition to what has made America great. The wordsmiths who are the columnist for our newspapers will write about this more elegantly than me.

Biden says Trump has ‘taken a wrecking ball’ to democracy in sharp criticism

Former President Joe Biden delivered a strong critique of his successor Friday, arguing to a room of supporters that President Donald Trump has “taken a wrecking ball” to democracy.

“I knew Trump was going to taking a wrecking ball to the country, but I had no idea, I have to admit, I didn’t know there was going to be an actual wrecking ball,” Biden said at a gala hosted in Omaha by the Nebraska Democratic party, referring to Trump’s demolition of the the White House’s East Wing to build a 90,000-square foot ballroom.

“It’s a perfect symbol of his presidency,” Biden said. “Trump has taken a wrecking ball not only to the people’s house but to the Constitution, to the rule of law, to our very democracy.”

Biden also mocked Trump’s repeated declarations that his second term has brought “a golden age” to the country.

“He now says we are quote ‘in a golden age.’ The only gold is the stuff he’s hanging on the mantle,” the former president said, referring to Trump’s gilded additions to the Oval Office.

‘A nation of Constitutional law’

Karin Immergut, a federal judge appointed by Trump, said this last weekend that the administration’s justification for deploying California National Guard troops in Portland was “simply untethered to the facts.”

“This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs,” Immergut wrote, chiding the Trump administration for attempting to circumvent a prior order from her against a federal deployment to the city.

“This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition,” she added: “This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.”

The Insurrection Act gives the president sweeping emergency power to deploy military forces within the United States if the president deems it is needed to quell civil unrest. The last time this occurred was in 1992, when California Gov. Pete Wilson asked President George H.W. Bush to send federal troops to help stop the Los Angeles riots that occurred after police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King.

On Monday, in an interview with CNN, Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, suggested that the administration would continue working to sidestep Immergut’s orders.

Donald Trump seems to believe he has absolute power.
