R.I.P. CBS News…you were the Gold standard for television news, starting with Edward Murrow, continuing with America’s most trusted person for decades, Walter Cronkite, and an impressive investigative journalism program in 60 Minutes (Dan Rather, Morely Safer, Mike Wallace). Now you cow tow to a wannabe dictator and his thugs, abandoning all principles of real journalism completely.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump used his social media account to share a video about election conspiracy theories that includes a racist depiction of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle.

Trump is clearly filled with hate of everyone who is not the child of White Europeans.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement, “Donald Trump’s video is blatantly racist, disgusting, and utterly despicable.”
UCLA has fired a DEI director for comments he made after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. Johnathan Perkins, a Black diversity, equity and inclusion director at UCLA, had a different take. “Good riddance,” he wrote on Bluesky. In another post: “It is OKAY to be happy when someone who hated you and called for your people’s death dies — even if they are murdered.”
Later Johnson said: “I’m always glad when bigots die.”
I live in a mixed race neighborhood in the mixed city of Los Angeles.
The death of Donald Trump will not be too soon for me.
We will not forget!
We can never allow this to happen again!
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 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.
The federal government war on those who do not conform to Donald Trump’s vision of America. That vision is to denounce all those opposing him and calling them domestic terrorists. The GOP quietly goes along with Trump’s vision of a country where all who oppose his objectives must be silenced. That means no free press.
Following the news report highlighted on the front page of the Los Angeles Times and reported elsewhere.
WASHINGTON — Justice Department leadership has directed the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaged in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism” by the start of next year, and to establish a “cash reward system” that incentivizes individuals to report on their fellow Americans, according to a memo reviewed by The Los Angeles Times.
Law enforcement agencies are directed in the memo, dated Dec. 4, to identify “domestic terrorists” who use violence, or the threat of violence, to advance political and social agendas, including “adherence to radical gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity.”
Although the memo does not mention protests against President Trump’s immigration crackdown directly, it says that problematic “political and social agendas” could include “opposition to law and immigration enforcement, extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders.”
The memo also outlines what it says are causes of domestic terrorist activity, including “hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality.”
“Federal law enforcement will prioritize this threat. Where federal crime is encountered, federal agents will act,” the memo states.
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.
