The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Given that, by a 1951 treaty, the US can build all the defense installations it wants in Greenland, this has nothing to do with defense. It's clearly about controlling, and looting, the island's resources. So, no invasion of Greenland, at least until June. Probably TACO.

All hail the Pirate King.

Meanwhile, the FAA is warning airliners away from Central America.


First- the deadline for turning over the Epstein files passed in December.

Next…. The dog started wagging with the whizbang operation in Venezuela which kidnapped Maduro, but left the political infrastructure of the country unchanged…..

Followed by escalating threats against Greenland with concomitant counters by NATO.

Threats of fire and fury against Iran- made and retracted

Now there seem to be stirrings that presage some sort of action in Panama.

Vague hints that we don’t need elections….

ICE going full Nazi in Minneapolis….

ALL in the last month, since Pam Bondi blew past the deadline for turning over all of the Epstein files

The dog is now wagging furiously. Why is the dog wagging furiously?

Could be because of something in those crazy Epstein files that he’s trying to keep a lid on.

I ask, because Trump’s actions over the past month have virtually shouted for us to look everywhere BUT the Epstein files.
