Do you remember in the beginning of President Trump’s presidency Greenland was front and center in the news cycle? I sure do. During the transition months and the first several days in office President Trump hinted the U.S. should take jurisdiction over Greenland. However, in the last several months Greenland the Trump administration has shied away from making any polices or strategic moves regarding Greenland until now. On Sunday, President Trump announced he has selected Republican Governor Jeff Landry to be the U.S. special Envoy to Greenland. Fox News provided more details on President Trump selecting Gov. Landy for the new post: President Donald Trump announced he is tapping Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry to serve as U.S. special envoy to Greenland, asserting that the island is key to national security. “I am pleased to announce that I am appointing the GREAT Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, as the United States Special Envoy to Greenland. Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country’s Interests for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World. Congratulations Jeff!” the president said in a Truth Social post. Landry said the new position would not impact his role as governor. “Thank you @realDonaldTrump! It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S. This in no way affects my position as Governor of Louisiana!” Landry wrote in a post on X. The Republican, who has been serving as governor since early 2024, previously served as Louisiana attorney general and as a lawmaker in the U.S. House of Representatives. “The appointment confirms the continued American interest in Greenland. However, we insist that everyone – including the U.S. – must show respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark,” Denmark’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen noted in a statement, Reuters reported. Trump has expressed ambitions for the U.S. to acquire Greenland. “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” he asserted in part of a December 2024 Truth Social post. “Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!” he declared in a January 2025 Truth Social post.

The issue had drifted out of the headlines in recent months, but in August, Danish officials summoned the U.S. ambassador following a report that at least three people with connections to Trump had carried out covert influence operations in Greenland. Earlier this year, Vice President JD Vance visited a remote U.S. military base on the island and accused Denmark of underinvesting there. Trump has said that Greenland is crucial for U.S. security and hasn’t ruled out taking the island by military force, even though Denmark is a NATO ally of the U.S. Landry took office as governor in January 2024. His term ends in January 2028. “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S.,” Landry wrote in a posting on X in which he thanked Trump for the appointment. He added, “This in no way affects my position as Governor of Louisiana!” Denmark, a NATO ally of the U.S., and Greenland have said the island is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. gathering intelligence there. The U.S. push for Greenland is also opposed by Russia and much of Europe.

Vice President JD Vance had some choice words for Nick Fuentes… During an interview on Friday with UnHeard, Vance condemned Fuentes (and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki) for insulting his wife. He said they can “eat sh*t” and that’s his “official policy as vice president of the United States.” JUST IN: JD Vance says Nick Fuentes can “eat sh*t” after Fuentes attacked Vance’s wife, Usha “Let me be clear.

Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat sh*t. That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States,” Vance told UnHerd Incredibly based, Vice President. For reference, Nick Fuentes has attacked JD Vance’s wife over her Indian heritage. Later on in the interview, JD Vance downplayed Nick Fuentes’ influence on the conservative movement as whole. He essentially called the focus on podcasters like Fuentes a distraction from talking about real policy. Here’s more from JD Vance’s exclusive interview with UnHerd: JD Vance has for months faced mounting pressure to censure Nicholas J. Fuentes and his army of boisterously racist and antisemitic supporters, known as Groypers. Speaking exclusively to UnHerd at the vice president’s residence on Friday, he doesn’t mince his words. “Let me be clear,” he says. “Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki [the former Biden press secretary] or Nick Fuentes, can eat shit. That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States.” “Antisemitism, and all forms of ethnic hatred,” he says, “have no place in the conservative movement. Whether you’re attacking somebody because they’re white or because they’re black or because they’re Jewish, I think it’s disgusting.”… Says Vance: “I think that Nick Fuentes, his influence within Donald Trump’s administration, and within a whole host of institutions on the Right, is vastly overstated, and frankly, it’s overstated by people who want to avoid having a foreign-policy conversation about America’s relationship with Israel.” That is, the Hitler-praising Groyper king functions as a useful foil for pro-Israel hard-liners in the Right’s raucous internal debate over America’s alliance with the Jewish state. During the interview, JD Vance also defended Tucker Carlson against attackers who have branded him an anti-semite. JD Vance — while spouting harsh words for Nick Fuentes — vigorously defends Tucker Carlson. He says efforts to eject him from decent society are part of an effort to avoid debates on the role of the US in the Middle East and with respect to Israel.https://t.co/Hv2QDKMZ4G pic.twitter.com/IVFiP8Sjet — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) December 22, 2025 Read what Vance had to say about Tucker Carlson here: Tucker Carlson, for example, gets a robust defense from Vance. “Tucker’s a friend of mine,” he tells me. “And do I have disagreements with Tucker Carlson? Sure. I have disagreements with most of my friends, especially those who work in politics. You know this. Most people who know me know this. I’m [also] a very loyal person, and I am not going to get into the business of throwing friends under the bus.” He goes on: “The idea that Tucker Carlson — who has one of the largest podcasts in the world, who has millions of listeners, who supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election, who supported me in the 2024 election — the idea that his views are somehow completely anathema to conservatism, that he has no place in the conservative movement, is frankly absurd. And I don’t think anybody actually believes it.” What’s really afoot, he thinks, is “gatekeeping”, and people are “trying to settle their own ideological scores” — especially with respect to Washington’s policies in the Middle East. “I happen to believe that Israel is an important ally, and that there are certain things that we’re certainly going to work together on,” Vance says. “But we’re also going to have very substantive disagreements with Israel, and that’s OK. And we should be able to say, ‘We agree with Israel on that issue, and we disagree with Israel on this other issue.’ Having that conversation is, I think, much less comfortable for a lot of people, because they want to focus on Nick Fuentes.” Fuentes thus refracts — and, with his noxious rhetoric, distorts — a legitimate discontent. Says Vance: “99% of Republicans, and I think probably 97% of Democrats, do not hate Jewish people for being Jewish. What is actually happening is that there is a real backlash to a consensus view in American foreign policy. I think we ought to have that conversation and not try to shut it down. Most Americans are not antisemitic, they’re never going to be antisemitic, and I think we should focus on the real debate.” What about Fuentes’s promotion of an overt white racial politics, complete with liberal use of the N-word? Is Vance worried by that stuff? Yes — but he believes there have been far worse offenders who got away with racial politics in recent years, because their version of it was aligned with elite prerogatives and progressive moral hierarchies. “Let’s say you believe, as I do, that racism is bad, that we should judge people according to their deeds and not their ethnicity,” he later adds. “Is Nick Fuentes really the problem in this country? He’s a podcaster. He has a dedicated group of young fans, and some of them have been shitty to my friends and family” — not least, Mrs Vance. “Does that annoy me? Of course. But let’s keep some perspective. For the past five to 10 years, I’ve watched one-half of our political leadership go all in on the idea that discriminating against whites in college admissions and jobs is not just OK, but affirmatively good.” He goes on: “If you believe racism is bad, Fuentes should occupy one second of your focus, and the people with actual political power who worked so hard to discriminate against white men should occupy many hours of it.” Your thoughts? Do you agree with JD Vance?

In the lawless streets of the liberal dystopia that is Seattle, an elderly woman was left permanently blinded in one eye after she was savagely attacked by a career criminal with a history of assault. While she was standing outside the King County Courthouse, 75-year-old Jeanette Marken was smashed in the face with a wooden board by a violent repeat offender. A screw that was sticking out of the board struck her in her right eye and gouged it out. She has been told that she will not be able to recover her sight in that eye. The attacker, Fale Vaigalepa Pea, has a long criminal history that includes assaulting and stabbing people. 75 year old Jeanette Marken was victim of an unprovoked attack by REPEAT violent offender Fale Vaigalepa Pea. She lost an eye and broke her nose and cheekbone. Fale has a long violent record of stabbings to drugs. Judges kept releasing him to terrorize others.

Fale Vaigalepa Pea used a wooden plank with a metal screw jammed into the end. He didn’t know her. Didn’t say a word. Just attacked. Cops arrested him a block away. They knew exactly who he was. Everyone did. Court records show multiple assaults, including stabbing someone eight times. He’s been punching random people for years. This time, he escalated – and now a grandmother is permanently blinded. And guess what? He was out walking free. Because in America, violent repeat offenders get endless second chances – courtesy of soft-on-crime judges and politicians more worried about “equity” than public safety. How many more people need to be maimed before the justice system starts protecting victims instead of predators? How in the world was this guy allowed to walk freely on the streets, punching and stabbing people at will? He should have been locked up a long time ago. KOMO News has more details on the assailant’s lengthy criminal background: Pea has been well known to law enforcement for years. In 2011, he stabbed two people at a party in SeaTac. One of the victims was stabbed eight times, according to an arrest report from the incident. Court records show he was convicted by a jury and received an 18-month sentence of community custody. Pea continued to rack up assault charges, including one case in 2020, four cases in 2023, and one case in 2024. According to the King County jail, Fale has been booked eight times this year, though Seattle Municipal Court and King County Superior Court records show none of his arrests this year resulted in charges prior to the assault on Marken. Seattle police have arrested Pea repeatedly this year for charges of assault, indecent exposure, drugs, property destruction, unlawful use of weapons, and malicious mischief. The King County Prosecuting Attorneys told KOMO News that none of his prior arrest from this year were referred to their office for felony charges. The Seattle City Attorney’s Office, which handles misdemeanor offenses, did not immediately have information on case referrals for Pea. He is now charged with assault in the first degree and is expected to appear for a competency hearing later this month. “The defendant’s egregious actions in this case, as well as his prior assaultive criminal history, demonstrate that he is a substantial danger to the community and is likely to commit a violent offense,” prosecutors wrote in charging documents for the assault on Marken. News that the man accused of attacking his mother was a repeat offender is frustrating for Dyrikis. “He’s a usual? A usual what?” Dyrikis said. “Attacking people? Civilians? What the hell is wrong with your system?” Notably, the establishment media is avoiding this story like the plague.

At the time of writing this, her GoFundMe has raised over $35,000 for her hospital and living costs. It’s just terrible that she has to suffer from something like this.

For years, the pediatric cancer community fought to pass a single bill designed to help children with cancer access better drug treatments. The Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act empowered the FDA to push drug companies to study combination therapies that could save young lives. After countless setbacks, the bill finally appeared headed for success — unanimous passage in the Senate, a signature from the president, and long-overdue relief for families who had already waited too long. Then one senator stopped it: Bernie Sanders. On the night the bill reached the Senate floor, advocates, reporters, grieving siblings, and a cancer survivor filled the gallery expecting a rare moment of bipartisan decency. Instead, Sanders objected to unanimous consent, killing the bill’s momentum in a dramatic floor exchange that most Americans never saw coming. His objection was not to the bill’s purpose — he supports it, in theory — but to unrelated provisions attached to it and to his insistence that other health-care priorities be passed at the same time. “He is literally killing kids in front of us because of his political movement,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), who forcefully supported the Give Kids a Chance Act, said. “It is ridiculous.” “A unanimous vote in the chamber would have allowed the bill to bypass several steps, which typically involve the committee process and rules for debate, to move it straight along,” the New York Post noted. “Given that the bill had already unanimously cleared the House, it only needed to get through the Senate before going straight to President Trump’s desk for his signature.” Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships The context makes Sanders’ move look even worse. The bill gained renewed momentum only because of Mikaela Naylon, a 16-year-old dying of osteosarcoma who had suffered below-knee amputation, multiple lung surgeries, radiation, and radioactive treatments. She spent her final weeks — after her doctors told her she had only weeks to live — lobbying Congress instead of resting. Even after she returned home to Colorado, she was meeting with legislators over Zoom. She became so weak that her parents ultimately had to speak for her while she listened. She spoke to Sen. John Hickenlooper on October 29, dying three hours later. After Mikaela’s death, the House passed the renamed bill unanimously. Every senator but one was ready to do the same. Sanders justified his blockade by arguing that savings in the bill should fund community health centers and that other bipartisan health provisions killed months earlier should be revived alongside it. By demanding everything or nothing, Sanders ensured that vulnerable children got nothing. In the end, the Senate left town for the holidays, and the bill died with the clock. Sanders may claim he was fighting for bigger goals, but history will record that when given the chance to deliver immediate help to sick children, he chose procedural purity and political leverage instead. Incremental progress was available. He alone decided it wasn’t good enough — and kids paid the price.

The Trump administration is increasing their cash payments to illegal immigrants opting to self-deport from the United States from $1,000 to $3,000, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News on Monday. In addition to footing the bill for flights, the Department of Homeland Security began offering payments of $1,000 for illegal immigrants choosing to leave the country rather than facing formal deportation in May. Now, they’re tripling the incentive to ensure that illegal immigrants “get home in time for Christmas,” Noem told Fox News. “Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will not return,” Noem wrote on X. Credit: Department of Homeland Security Roughly 1.9 million illegal immigrants have left the United States on their own, according to DHS. It’s not clear how many of those used the CBP Home app to depart and receive the cash payments. This Christmas season, the U.S. taxpayer is generously TRIPLING the incentive for illegal aliens to leave voluntarily. Through the end of the year, illegal aliens who self-deport using the CBP Home App can receive a $3,000 exit bonus.

Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships It also gives illegal immigrants the opportunity to potentially come back to the United States legally. “If you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, if you’re in the United States of America illegally, we will give you $3,000 through the holidays to send you home,” Noem said. “If you wait until we interdict you and detain you and arrest you and have to deport you ourselves, you’ll never get the chance to come back,” she added. The CBP Home app was created after the Trump administration ended the Biden-era CBP One entry program that allowed more than one million illegal immigrants into the country.

Senator Bernie Sanders demands a federal moratorium on new data centers, threatening America’s AI leadership and handing the edge to China in a critical tech race. Sanders’ Moratorium Call Targets AI Boom Senator Bernie Sanders posted an Instagram video in mid-December 2025 urging a federal moratorium on new data center construction. He seeks time to evaluate AI and robotics impacts, warning of job losses in trucking and retail from automation. Sanders argues unchecked development enriches billionaires while harming workers, fitting his long push against Wall Street greed. This comes as U.S. data centers drive a $7 trillion global surge, with 40% stateside countering tariff strains and high borrowing costs. Conservative Backlash Frames It as Sabotage National Review’s December 18 headline dubbed it “The Bernie Sanders Plan to Sabotage the Future,” portraying the proposal as socialist resistance to AI progress. Reason.com criticized it on December 17 as an effort to pause growth amid economic reliance on tech infrastructure. The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council accused Sanders of fearmongering, ignoring facts about AI productivity gains. Americans for Prosperity warned a moratorium cedes ground to China, risking U.S. dominance in the global tech race. Historical Pattern of Anti-Growth Policies Sanders’ call aligns with decades of progressive agendas targeting innovation. His 2014 12-point plan pushed wage hikes, climate measures, and Social Security expansion. Precedents include the Fracking Ban Act prohibiting new permits by 2025 and the End Polluter Welfare Act slashing fossil fuel subsidies. Critics note this AI pause echoes speculation taxes and infrastructure halts, prioritizing worker protections over capitalist dynamism that President Trump’s policies unleashed through deregulation and tax cuts. Impacts and Unlikely Path Forward A moratorium would halt permits, delaying construction jobs in Virginia and Texas while chilling $7 trillion investments. Short-term, it exacerbates tariff pressures; long-term, it endangers the AI space race against China. Sanders claims it prevents inequality and funds transitions like the Just Transition Act, but experts dismiss automation fears as overstated since tech boosts productivity. No bill introduced as of December 21; bipartisan support for AI growth makes passage improbable, deepening divides while bolstering Sanders’ base. President Trump’s America-first approach contrasts sharply, securing over $1 trillion in AI investments and obliterating barriers to innovation that Sanders seeks to impose.
