The White House Press Pool was established in 1937 when FDR was in office. Trump kicked out several news agencies because they did not pay him proper homage. In response the major news services have boycotted presidential coverage. Something about first amendment violation. The result is less Trump on T.V................and just when it seemed he was everywhere.

Head sycophant J.D. Vance has denied Trump has banned those news services printing nasty things about him. That would be in violation of the First Amendment, but what he has done is limit access to them at the White House briefing room.

Taking on the Press is a risky thing, they tend to put their differences aside and unite against a common enemy. We're seeing that here with the King Charles-Earl Spencer feud. Lord Spencer is a well known, long-standing critic of the Press, so they're as one taking the King's side.

U.S. & Denmark reportedly reach agreement on Greenland deal. Will allow U.S. bases, gives U.S. veto power to keep Russia & China out. Official signing to come shortly. See what you can get from a little bluster & threat? Nobody has ever seen anything like it.

It's nothing more than a reiteration of the 1951 US-Denmark treaty over Greenland, Trump is doing his usual thing of painting himself as the hero.


Two new bases being constructed.

The interest alone is astronomical. Today's slaves are not in chains but in debt. Someone said that.

It's voluntary slavery.  Some people can't resist those shopping channel shows and the late-night advertisements for miracle products.

Now the Danish politicians are mocking Trump for his grandstanding about his "victory" in the Greenland thingy. The one that was settled in 1951.

U.K. breakup? This week the leaders of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland signed a pact demanding the right to hold referendums on breaking away from the United Kingdom. If all voted to leave, only England would remain. First ministers of Wales, Scotland, & Northern Ireland all said at a summit in Cardiff that their future belongs in the European Union.

They can talk all they like, nothing is likely to happen. Certainly not in Wales, there's never been anything near a majority for independence. Scotland is unlikely as the SNP have proved themselves useless and the figures in unofficial polls for independence never get above 50%. The only slight "danger" is Northern Ireland with its increasing number of Catholics and decreasing number of Unionist Protestants, even then it would have to be a clear majority for the Nationalists to risk a poll.

Often it is the case here that the people who the agitators get all worked up usually don't even vote.
