Renaming Greenland – Trumpland: The Arctic Now Belongs to the Hegemon
Let’s stop pretending this is a seminar where everyone raises their hand and waits to be called on. The United States is the global hegemon. That’s not bravado; it’s the rebuilt operating system. When America “consults,” it’s being polite. When America decides, the rest of the world updates its talking points.
Calling the Shots: Life as the Global Hegemon (And Why the Cleanup Is Always a Mess)
As the global hegemon, we don’t merely influence outcomes. We decide who is fit to lead. We anoint. We delegitimize. We sanction. We isolate. And when necessary, we remove. On that front, our record is impeccable. Few nations in history have been better at leader removal than the United States. Regime change—overt or discreet—is something we understand down to the checklist.
50 Years of Presidential Actions/Inactions
Chuck Klein lists 50 years of U.S. Presidential actions and/or inaction in the National Security battle space
America feared again; President Trump IS the new world order now.
Trump is the bane of the elitists but the champion of the people. Hungary’s Viktor Orban spoke for all of us when he said, “I will not shed a single tear over the fall of any narco state ever. The fewer there are, the better.”
The Three Hour War in Venezuela; Trump won the war first and then had the military fight it.
While most Americans were sleeping, the American military dropped a few bombs on Fort Tiuna—Venezuela’s largest military base—and arrested Nicolas Maduro and his wife, who face a federal indictment in New York for narco-terrorism and related charges. Peace through strength works best when you add stealth and speed.

Bardot sadly was right; The Islamization of France proves Islamophobia doesn’t exist because the fear is real
The death of Brigitte Bardot was so important that the New York Times gave her two obituaries, which is not bad for a French sex kitten from the 1950s and 1960s.
The Canary Is Gasping: Australia and the Cost of Speech Without Rights
A father was arrested and charged after someone took offense at a tattoo on his leg—passive, nonviolent body art. Let me be clear: the ideology behind that tattoo is evil, historically murderous, and morally bankrupt. I despise it. But the man was not arrested for assault, intimidation, threats, or incitement. He was arrested for expression. That distinction is everything in a free society.
Some Final Screwed Up Posts From 2025
As a great year closes out, the last week brings some really strange views from our liberal friends.
Generational Guilt
80 years ago World War 2 ended. The remnants of the generations that lived that war and four 20-year generations of Germans born after the war are (unfairly) burdened with guilt and shame.
Islam: The Long War We Refuse to Fight — And Why the West Is Losing It

Should We Be Defending Left-wing Europe From Right-wing Russia?

In his Twitter biography, Harry Pettit describes himself as: Academic researcher. Geographer: extraction and resistance in MENA. Author of The Labor of Hope. Opinions my own, repost not endorsement. Free Palestine I’ll reserve judgement on what kind of “academic researcher” he is, but he’s all in on the “Free Palestine”, more accurately described as free …
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” ― William F. Buckley
I will admit it: there was a strong feeling of amusement among sensible people when the simpleton from Sweden was arrested for protesting in support of the British pro-terrorism group. Greta Thunberg had made a name for herself as a climate kook, but has branched out in support of Hamas, Palestinian terrorism, and against …
Power, wealth, and surrogacy; Biology’s international fault lines
A striking headline can distill an entire saga into a single timeless line without a plot or nuance; just pure drama etched in ink.
And now for the news you missed
The New York Times reported, in December of 2024, when Joe Biden was still President, that the expected good will and economic resurgence of Cuba due to President Obama normalizing relations with the Communist country didn’t really materialize, noting that most Cubans are: coping with prolonged power outages, standing in line at poorly stocked supermarkets …

ITAR — Guarding the Musket While the Missiles Fly Through Wi-Fi
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations — was created in the 1970s to stop Soviet spies from sneaking American missiles out in suitcases. It made sense back then. The battlefield was tanks, jets, rifles, and radios. Power was measured in steel and gunpowder.
