Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said Monday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that if President Donald Trump attempted to take control of Greenland with military force, it “would provoke an impeachment crisis almost immediately.” On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump downplayed the likelihood but did not completely rule it out. He said, “I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything. No, not there, you need that. We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people which will take care of and will cherish them and all of that, but...

France’s trade minister said the European Union’s response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs could be “extremely aggressive” amid increasingly heated rhetoric from Paris. Speaking ahead of crunch talks in Luxembourg, French Minister of Foreign Trade Laurent Saint-Martin said that Brussels must consider all options in the trade dispute with the United States. “We must not exclude any option, on goods, on (American) services and open the European toolbox, which is very complete, which can also be extremely aggressive in return,” the minister said per Le Figaro.

On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that large tariffs won’t bring back steel or auto plants to his state “in less than five or ten years. And the costs of competing, of manufacturing here in the United States are still too high.” Coons said, “There was a 100-year-old steel mill in Claymont, Delaware. We worked hard to try and save it, but, ultimately, it closed. There were two auto plants in Delaware. Ultimately, they closed. High tariffs won’t bring those plants back in less than five or ten years. And the costs of competing,...

Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that she was training Americans to help take down a potential “dictatorship” of President Donald Trump. At her resistance lab training, Jayapal said, “It appears that the Trump administration is willing to ignore judicial decisions and so that brings us to you in this room. It brings us to the people that is really, the bulwark, the wall against the crumbling of democracy.” Maddow said, “Help me understand this idea of the resistance lab and what you’re talking about in practical terms at these events.” Jayapal said, “Yeah...

On Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said he released the Signal chat among senior national security officials to show that the Trump administration does not take national security seriously. Goldberg said, “When they do something wrong, they go on the attack, and they attack the messenger. You know, and the odd thing about this one is I didn’t really actually do anything. I’d like to claim that I was some bold investigative reporter. All I did was answer a message request from Mike Waltz on Signal and the rest of it just came...

The price of eggs has taken a sharp plunge as Americans have watched the cost of the grocery staple shift downward since mid-February, Axios reported Friday. The drop in prices comes as the nation has been grappling with a bird flu outbreak that has affected egg prices and farmers, per Breitbart News. According to the Axios report, “The average wholesale price of a dozen eggs was $3 Friday, down 8% from $3.27 on March 21, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data released Friday.”

Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Arena” that his fellow Democrats need to “take on” President Donald Trump. He claimed the “best time” was “to take on a tyrant is as early as possible.” Merkley said, “You don’t stop a bully by giving over your lunch money and you don’t stop tyrant Trump by voting to give him more power. That is absolutely the wrong approach. There are others who say, you know, in a shutdown, the president may have more power than we’ve seen in any previous shutdown. There is a legitimate case to be made...

The European Union (EU) retaliated swiftly with a two-step approach in response to President Trump’s fresh 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum that took effect Wednesday. First, the European trading bloc — made up of 27 nations — will allow the suspension of the existing 2018 and 2020 countermeasures against the U.S. to expire on April 1. Second, the commission is proposing a new package of countermeasures on goods coming from the U.S. that will go into effect in mid-April, covering some $28 billion in imports in total. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said Europe...

LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer embraced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday and told him he had the nation’s unwavering support a day after the blowout at the White House with President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy arrived to shouts of support from people who had gathered outside of 10 Downing St., where Starmer gave him a hug and ushered him inside. “And as you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom,” Starmer told the leader of the war-torn country. “We stand with you, with Ukraine, for as long as...

Disgraced Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a shot at the United States Thursday after Canada’s national team beat the U.S. in the 4 Nations Hockey championship game. “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” the Canadian PM crowed after the game in a statement on X. It seems clear that Trudeau’s first comment was in response to Trump’s joking that Canada should become America’s 51st state. However, his last statement is at odds with the fact that a Canadian team has not won hockey’s Stanley Cup since 1993. It appears Americans have taken Canada’s...

Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) said Thursday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that President Joe Biden “has done a great deal,” but other people take the credit. When asked about Biden’s low approval, Dingell said, “I’m going to start with why today was so important, because I think he has done a great deal and people don’t know it. I think a lot of other people take credit for road money, bridge money, getting lead out of pipe money that was done at the federal level, money comes into the state, and everybody else takes credit for it but Joe Biden’s leadership...

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday that an important part of her job is the fact that she “may have to take over” if President Biden is unable to complete his term in office — and that she’s ready to do so if required. Harris was pressed on her readiness for the Oval Office during an overseas trip — after she initially tried to deflect a question about the 80-year-old Biden’s age by pointing to his legislative accomplishments. “Questions about the president’s age often go hand in hand with questions about how you would step in the role...

Gov. Gavin Newsom is considering a strategy for slowly reopening business in a state divided between rural areas with small numbers of coronarivus cases and urban areas struggling with still-rising death tolls. Newsom on Tuesday planned to outline what it would take to ease California's stay-at-home order, which aimed to slow the spread of COVID-19 by keeping most people at home and closing all but essential businesses. Health officials have said the efforts have helped flatten the curve of the virus outbreak, but they also have caused massive unemployment and economic upheaval. On Monday, Newsom said the state is "a...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A powerful storm that pummeled a busy Colorado zoo with large hail on Monday injured 14 people and killed at least two animals, authorities said. Five people were taken to the hospital with traumatic injuries after the short but intense afternoon storm passed over Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, according to the Colorado Springs Fire Department. Another nine were treated at the scene, but additional details about the victims and their injuries have not been released.

The Defense Department is poised to take over background investigations for the federal government, using increased automation and high-tech analysis to tighten controls and tackle an enormous backlog of workers waiting for security clearances, according to U.S. officials. The change aims to fix a system whose weaknesses were exposed by the case of a Navy contractor who gunned down a dozen people at Washington's Navy Yard in 2013. He was able to maintain a security clearance despite concerns about his mental health and an arrest that investigators never reviewed. Problems had earlier surfaced with former National Security Agency contractor Edward...

Real Americans don't give a sh*t about whiny, privileged multi-millionaire brats and their tedious, tiresome virtue signalling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thg4lnaVIT4

So I had surgery 6 months to repair a torn and wrecked Shoulder Rotator Cuff. The pain sucked before the surgery and sucked more afterward. It held me back from doing just about everything. I was tired from constantly having to shift to get comfortable and escape the pain and then there was the pain. Oh it sucked...bad. But, It's been Six Months and I've had enough of this baloney. I want to live and live it up. Went to the range today with my Sweet Baby Kimber Tac II. She had been missing me and I her but, we...

Here they vote. They're a joke. They all want to mooch, mooch, mooch. Precious rights, losing fights. We're paying for you, you, you. Feeling freedom's gone, can tax our minds. When we can't go on, to survive the tide, their debt provides. Someday debt will find them; latch those chains of Biden. One right will remind you, how he taxed and spent our take-home pays. If tyrants usurp you, true debt won't desert you. You'll know he'll still tax you, though he taxed and spent our take-home pays. Double-time, caught between delusion and change, change, change. Campaign lies, promises he...
