Lead: Because He Didn’t Get a Trophy: Trump Threatens Greenland

Donald Trump is now openly suggesting the United States may need to stop thinking “purely of peace” in order to gain control of Greenland a territory that is not for sale, does not belong to the U.S., and has repeatedly said so.
The President reportedly sent a text message to the Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. The text has been transcribed as such:
Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.
Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.
I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States.
The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.
So much to unpack here.
First: why would anyone want an award that was given to Barack Obama, who presided over a drone campaign that killed civilians, including children, at scale? Who actually cares about the Nobel Peace Prize?
Second: why would a perceived personal snub have anything to do with U.S. military or foreign policy? That’s not strategy. That’s Joffrey Baratheon behavior.
Third: why would Norway be expected to “offer” a Nobel Prize to save Denmark from losing territory? Norway does not control Denmark. Denmark does not control the Nobel Committee. These are different countries, different institutions, different realities.
There are no logical answers to these questions.
Danish officials have responded with a mix of disbelief and firm rejection, reiterating that Greenland is not a bargaining chip and that its future is for Greenlanders to decide.
Denmark has responded by sending troops to Greenland to try to deter President Trump. A whole 100 of them. That's…not going to do it.
This Is America? Police Confront Woman at Home Over Anti-Mayor Facebook Post

A video is going viral of police in Miami Beach coming to a woman's home to ask her about this Facebook post criticizing the Mayor Steven Meiner:
“The guy who consistently calls for the death of all Palestinians, tried to shut down a theater for showing a movie that hurt his feelings, and REFUSES to stand up for the LGBTQ community in any way (even leaves the room when they vote on related matters) wants you to know that you’re all welcome here. 🤡🤡🤡”
Let’s be very clear: this is protected political speech. This is the kind of thing that happens in Europe. In the United States, it is supposed to be prohibited by the Constitution.
In the video, an officer asks the woman whether she authored the post and then suggests she should “refrain from posting things like that.”
He can’t say that. At all.
As free speech advocacy group FIRE explains, the First Amendment doesn’t just protect speech from criminal prosecution, it also forbids government actions that chill speech. The government is not allowed to discriminate against speech based on the ideas or opinions it conveys. And when law enforcement officers show up unannounced at someone’s home to question them about political criticism of an elected official, that carries an implicit threat. Police don’t speak like ordinary government employees. Their words come backed by the state’s power to detain, arrest, and prosecute.
A person of ordinary firmness, unexpectedly confronted at their home by police and told to “refrain” from criticizing the mayor, would reasonably feel pressured to stop speaking. That alone is a First Amendment violation.
When police are dispatched to silence critics instead of criminals, that is not public safety. That is intimidation. And it is completely unacceptable in a constitutional republic.
