The Stone Zone dissects rural hospitals’ 24/7 lifeline role while slamming Trump’s $5M Babbitt settlement as insufficient, accusing Capitol Police of murder and the Jan. 6 committee of AI-faked evidence. It pivots to Trump’s CDC vaccine cuts (14→8 doses), praises Hilton’s alleged ICE ban as "woke," and warns of 30M undocumented immigrants with unknown criminal ties. NYC’s $5B "Social Housing Authority" and O1B visa abuse for OnlyFans sex workers face scorn, while Ford’s 2025 sales rebound (6% growth) contrasts EV failures. Roger Stone calls BLM "anti-white," mocks NATO’s defense of Greenland’s 57K residents, and urges U.S. annexation as retaliation—dismissing Europe as "entitled" and "under Muslim occupation."

Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our country has to offer, especially health care.
Across every state, every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
Don't cut rural health care.

Well, a five-year memorial march was held honoring those who died in connection with January 6th.
That was in Washington, D.C.
The January 6ers received their second lease on life after President Donald Trump issued a sweeping pardon for nearly 1,600 January 6th defendants.
But those such as Air Force veteran Ashley Babbitt, murdered in cold blood by a Capitol Hill police officer, cannot be brought back with a simple signature.
Babbitt was a decorated Air Force veteran, the best among us, a frontline patriot who made her voice heard.
She was not armed.
She was not menacing anyone.
She was given no warning.
She was caught, shot, and killed in cold blood by Capitol Hill Police Officer Michael Byrd.
What is outrageous, of course, is that Byrd has not been prosecuted for first-degree murder, but instead has been given a medal.
But thanks to the doggedness of President Trump and thanks also to the alternative media, the fake news media narrative about January 6th has now been almost completely and totally debunked.
If it was an insurrection, why was virtually no one armed?
If it was an insurrection, why is it that the only two people who died were protesters, unarmed protesters?
Roseanne Boyland, the other woman who died, literally bludgeoned to death by a Capitol Hill police officer, who has also evaded responsibility.
It is extraordinary to me that there are still many in the public who don't recognize that this whole thing was a setup, a Fed surrection, as they reported over on Revolver.
And the January 6th committee hearings were even a bigger Fughazi.
I remember very distinctly when Jamie Raskin, the congressman from Maryland, said that his committee would produce evidence that showed that I somehow knew in advance about, participated in, or condoned some illegal activity on January 6th, and they produced nothing of the kind.
They produced a bunch of AI-generated videos that were even different than the videos they had leaked to the media 24 hours previously, matching AI-generated audios with different visuals.
Of course, they destroyed all of that evidence, so now it's even difficult to prove.
The highlight of this was when a woman named Cassidy Hutchison, who was an aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, claimed that the president had directed Meadows to call me and my good friend General Michael Flynn on the afternoon of January 5th to find out what would happen on January 6th.
And when Liz Cheney asked Cassidy Hutchinson whether that phone call was completed, she said she believed it was.
Notice that careful parsing of words.
I've never talked to Mark Meadows on the phone that day or any other day.
In fact, I think I met him once in a green room at Fox.
Other than that, I've never had any communications with him.
I checked with General Flynn.
He didn't speak to him that day either.
But then Cassidy Hutchison went on to say, under oath, that Meadows told her that he was going over to the Willard Hotel, where there was allegedly some kind of war room, but that she dissuaded Meadows from going to that war room.
But Meadows later called Stone and Flynn to get a rundown on the meeting that he had not attended.
That's her second act of perjury.
If there was a war room in the Willard Hotel, I didn't know about it.
I certainly wasn't in any war room, not with Steve Bannon or Mayor Giuliani or others who are alleged to have been in some kind of command center.
And once again, there was no phone call from Meadows to me or General Flynn.
Now, it's interesting that Cassidy Hutchinson took the unusual step of going back and correcting her sworn testimony before it went in the congressional record.
That's because she's trying to dodge a perjury charge.
This is the same woman you may remember who insisted that President Donald Trump reached all the way from the back of the presidential vehicle, the Beast, and tried to wrestle the steering wheel away from one of the Secret Service agents.
The two Secret Sergeant agents in question both deny that ever happened.
This whole thing is a stain on the mainstream media and the Democrat Party, but Nancy Pelosi was so upset about the whole thing that she had her daughter show up with a full camera crew to make a documentary.
How about that?
Ashley Babbitt has become a martyr for patriots nationwide, symbolizing the cost that many of us may have to pay if we're not successful at the ballot box restoring our country.
Babbitt's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit over her murder.
In a reversal from prior Justice Department positions, the Trump administration agreed in 2025 to a settlement reportedly near $5 million for the Babbitt family.
This is a small step towards justice, but justice for January 6th will not be achieved until there are hundreds of federal agents thrown in prison for the rest of their lives.
All those who made the orders or were complicit in this staged rice-tog fire-style event by the deep state should be held to account.
This issue cannot be swept under the rug.
And those marching at the Capitol today should be applauded by conservatives and free thinkers across America and worldwide, even as they encounter demonic counter-protesters who attempt to invade and disrupt.
We will never forget Ashley Babbitt's sacrifice, nor will we forget Roseanne Boylan, two valiant ladies who were merely guilty of exercising their First Amendment rights to express doubts about the 2020 election.
Hilton's Property Controversy00:14:54
But then secondarily, at a very minimum, the charge against them would be trespassing, although one can clearly see in multiple videos members of the Capitol police officers, members of the Capitol Police Department waiving people into the Capitol.
It is an outrage, and I still believe that Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd should be prosecuted for murder in the case of Ashley Babbitt.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy have kept their pledge to the American people.
Federal health officials announced on January 5th that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will significantly narrow the number of vaccinations broadly recommended for children, cutting the list from 14 to 8 following a directive from President Donald Trump.
In December, President Trump ordered Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the acting director of the Center for Disease Control James O'Neill to review the U.S. childhood vaccination schedules against those of peer nations, including Denmark, Germany, Japan, which have always traditionally recommended far fewer vaccinations and lower dosages.
RFK Jr. said that the President's directive will result in changes to rebuild trust, strengthen informed consent, and align with common sense international standards.
Under the updated guidance, the CDC will no longer broadly recommend vaccinations for influenza, rotavirus, hepatitis A, or menencoccal disease.
Recommendations for hepatitis B and COVID-19 were already significantly narrowed in the schedule for 2025.
Importantly, the changes do not restrict access.
Vaccinations remain totally available, covered by insurance, and recommended for higher-risk populations.
So the issue here is one of informed consent and individual choice.
True American principles have been undermined by big pharma lobbyists for decades.
This review has led FDA official Tracy Beth-Hoig and epidemiologist Martin Kuldoff, who cited declining public trust, falling vaccination rates, and limited benefit for some universal recommendations.
Vaccination manufacturers were not consulted in the process, and rightfully so.
They cannot be unbiased.
They made millions, if not billions, off the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CDC continues to broadly recommend core vaccinations such as measles, polio, tetanus, and whooping cough.
And they reduced the HPV schedule from two doses to one after evidence showed that the second dosage was really not necessary.
As noted by pediatrician Dr. Joel Worsh, narrowing recommendations isn't banning vaccinations.
It's an acknowledgement that risk-benefit decisions belong to families and doctors, not federal bureaucrats.
Thank you, President Trump and Secretary Kennedy, for filling your mandate to make America healthy again.
The Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown has sharply condemned independent journalists who are investigating alleged daycare fraud tied to Somali-run childcare providers receiving federal and state tax subsidies.
In comments to KMOM News, Brown dismissed the investigators as random vigilantes, accusing them of harassment and even racism, despite acknowledging that fraud allegations must be taken seriously.
Brown claimed that reporters showing up at listed daycare addresses and documented discrepancies amounted to intimidation, warning that such actions could be unsafe and potentially dangerous.
Earlier, Brown's office issued a statement obtained by the Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI encouraging members of the Somalia community to report journalists to law enforcement or the state's hate crimes and bias incident hotline, raising serious First Amendment concerns.
That warning triggered a sharp rebuke from U.S. Assistant Attorney General Harmit Dillon, who cautioned that any state official attempting to chill journalistic activities would face scrutiny under federal civil rights law.
At the heart of this controversy are reports suggesting that Washington's child care subsidy system must be vulnerable to fraud, echoing the massive Minnesota daycare fraud scandals that we see unfolding before our very eyes.
Investigators documented residents listed as active child care providers where occupants denied running any daycare center operation whatsoever, despite records showing large sums of public tax money flowing to those exact addresses.
Brown insists his office lacks original criminal jurisdiction and says investigations should be handled by local or federal authorities.
Similar remarks came from far-left Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson yesterday, who labeled the reporting a surveillance campaign so that Democrats are terrified of the sunlight.
They have committed massive fraud on a grand scale using diversity as a cloak for these evil and expensive dealings.
It's time for them to be exposed and their criminal networks to be shut down for good.
Mark my words, before this is over, this scandal will spill well beyond Minnesota, into Michigan, into Ohio, into New York, into California, and perhaps into virtually every single state.
For those who keep telling me the 2026 election is over and the Republicans will certainly lose, I think they misunderstand the power of this issue.
Nothing makes hardworking American taxpayers more angry when they see their hard-earned tax dollars being squandered by fraud.
And that is the situation.

A massive backlash is hitting the hotel giant Hilton after the Department of Homeland Security revealed that a Minnesota hotel franchisee refused to host federal immigration agents and canceled their reservations.
According to the Department of Homeland Security's emails, which they released, management at the Hampton Inn Lakeville explicitly instructed staff to deny rooms to ICE and DHS personnel, even when reservations were made through official government emails at governmental rates.
The franchise reportedly described the foods as part of a coordinated effort to block immigration enforcement officers from staying at the property.
Hilton responded publicly, however, distancing himself from the actions of the hotel owner responsible for these discriminatory and anti-American policies and claiming that the problem has been fixed.
Hilton said the independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this.
A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values.
As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems.
Hilton is and always has been, they say, a welcoming place for all.
We're also not engaging with all of our franchisees to reinforce the standards we hold them to across our entire system to ensure that this does not happen again.
To me, you had one hotel owner here who turned out to be politically correct.
Perhaps Hilton is not being completely honest with the public, however.
Independent journalist Nick Sortar visited the hotel in person where he recorded a front desk employee stating repeatedly that DHS and ICE agents were still not being accepted and that ownership had made no policy change.
Hilton could face a consumer backlash similar to the boycott of Bud Light if they don't get serious about enforcing their policies against discrimination.
Lip Service will not cut it.
All America is watching.
We saw what you did to Bud Light.
We saw what we did to Cracker Barrel.
Wokeism is no longer acceptable in the American marketplace.
Hilton would be wise to take note.
Or as a smart person said, go woke, go broke.
Sooner or later, this all turns to, well, you know what the president said.
It is amazing to me that a number of these cities don't recognize the importance of the deportation of dangerous illegal criminals who are in among us, among us, having entered the country during the four years of Joe Biden.
We may have as many as 30 million people in our country.
We don't know who they are.
We don't know where they are.
We don't know their backgrounds.
We don't know how many of them have criminal records.
We don't know how many of them are dangerous terrorists.
And that doesn't even discuss the question of the enormous weaponry that has been brought into our country.
Under President Donald Trump, illegal border crossings have dropped down to almost zero.
So we have closed our border, which is the beginning.
But until we deport the most dangerous immigrant criminals, this is going to continue to be a problem across the country.

Back in the Stone Zone, I'm your host from Another Day, Another Evil Socialist Scheme from New York City Mayor Zoran Miam Dami and his cohorts.
Miam Dami has appointed as his tenant advocate Cia Weaver, who is openly promoting the government's seizure of private property and the expansion of state-run housing.
Appearing on a podcast, Weaver outlined plans to challenge the speculative role of private real estate by creating what she describes as a public sector alternative to housing in New York City.
Weaver states that Miam Dami proposed Social Housing Authority will seek at least $5 billion in taxpayer funding to staff the new agency, building new housing and acquire distressed housing across the state.
She acknowledged the authority could ultimately seize buildings from landlords if it deems that necessary.
In addition to property acquisition, Weaver called for electing pro-tenant candidates and placing tenants directly into political office to push sweeping housing reforms nationwide, labeling current marking-based housing policies a race to the far right.
This agenda represents an open attack on private property rights and free markets, signaling a dramatic shift towards socialist housing policy in America's largest and greatest city.
One that will drive investment out, precipitate a housing shortage, and punish law-abiding property owners under a false Marxist notion of equity.
Miam Dami is, in my opinion, a menace, and he's just getting started sowing the seeds of destruction of the capitalist system in the nation's largest city.
More recently, they passed a new policy in which one who wishes to sell a property, a landlord or property owner who wishes to sell a property, must first offer that to the government for purchase.
And then, if the government passes, they can go then to the free market.
But even when they find a buyer, they must give the government a second look.
To me, this is completely and totally unconstitutional.
And I hope some of those common sense folks in New York City will challenge this new law in the courts.
Now, after nearly six decades of existence, the Corporation for Public Broadcast has voted to dissolve following the Trump administration's decision to eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting.
The CPB, which for years served as the financial backbone for national public radio and the public broadcast system, announced that its board concluded that the organization could not continue operating once taxpayer support was rescinded.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting leadership framed the decision as an effort to preserve institutional integrity rather than remain, in their words, defunded and vulnerable.
This is a major achievement for common sense as taxpayer subsidies for media outlets promoting far-left-wing narratives were removed because the market could not sustain them.
As my good friend Sean Hannity constantly says, real journalism is dead in America.
Americans should never be forced to fund programs that reflect far-left cultural and political priorities.
Minaj's Visa Battle00:08:59
I think it was Thomas Jefferson who said tyranny is defined by being forced to finance views that one does not believe in.
Public broadcasting has always claimed to be neutral and nonpartisan, but frankly, nothing could be further from the truth.
Last year, the National Public Radio CEO Catherine Maher and the public broadcast system CEO Paula Kerger appeared before Congress where they continued to maintain this facade, but to no avail.
Now, the Corporation for Public Broadcast plans to distribute its remaining funds ahead of a formal shutdown.
CPB officials insist public media will survive in some form, as it should when the market bears it.
Let liberals donate if they like to public broadcasts to keep it around, but the taxpayers should not fort a dime to keep this drivel afloat.
The internet and terrestrial radio, like the one you're listening to or listening to online, have filled the void where people can go for real news.
Not biased news, but a mix of opinion, also straight news.
Let it be this way.
Public broadcasting is obsolete anyway.
Let it die a well-deserved death.
Good riddance.
And another sign of American civilization's spiraling downwards, social media influencers and OnlyFans sex workers are frequently dominating the O1B visa approvals reserved for individuals with extraordinary ability.
This visa was once reserved for world-class artists, filmmakers, and innovators.
But in an era where slop dominates and creativity has waned considerably, these visas are now going to social media influencers and OnlyFans personalities who post pornography of themselves and sell them on the internet.
Digital prostitutes are now considered purveyors of art and culture in this technologically dark age that we find ourselves in.
Some immigration lawyers now say that influencers make up as much as half of their client base, largely because digital metrics, likes, views, subscribers are easy to quantify than genuine artistic or intellectual achievement.
Attorney Elektra Yao admitted that large online followings can easily impress adjudicators, even while lacking traditional markers of excellence or quality content.
Between 2014 and 2024, O1B visa approvals rose from more than 50%, far outpacing overall non-immigrant visa growth.
In 2024 alone, roughly 20,000 O1B visas were issued.
Florida immigration lawyer Jacob Sapochik represented an OnlyFans creator earning $250,000 per month financial success he used to justify her approval.
The Trump administration must cut off these visas.
OnlyFans should be banned in America as it coerces young women to prostitute themselves with big tech serving as the pimp.
It is immoral, pernicious, and socially destructive.
It might be time for Christian nationalism to bring an end to this filth once and for all.
As a libertarian, I'm in favor of you doing in your own home what you wish to do.
But when the government essentially subsidizes this, well, I think that that's wrong.
The cancel mob may be losing elections, but it hasn't lost its appetite for destruction.
Its latest target is the rapper Nikki Minaj.
Minaj, who immigrated legally to the United States as a child from Trinidad, DAG, and Chibago to join her parents, is now facing online calls for deportation from left-wing jackals.
Although she resides lawfully in the United States through family sponsorship, she has not yet received a green card, something leftists are now exploiting in a despicable political stunt.
Multiple petitions on change.org demanding Minaj's deportation have gathered more than 120,000 signatures combined.
The surge followed her December appearance at Turning Point's America Fest in Phoenix, Arizona.
I was there.
When she praised the Trump administration, made comments affirming basic biological reality regarding gender.
Heresy in the minds of liberal activists.
Petition organizers argue that Minaj betrayed her LGBTQ fans and claimed that deportation would be a form of accountability.
This is a naked attempt to weaponize immigration laws against a celebrity who stepped outside the approved line of opinion.
This is why many celebrities just sit down and shut up, because they fear the backlash from the mob.
Minaj has clashed with leftist establishment before, most notably during COVID-19's pandemic when she questioned vaccination mandates, a riggest stance that cost her friendships, industry support, media favor, and some of her work.
It is clear that the left views celebrities not as individuals deserving of freedom of thought, but as soulless marionettes who exist only to further their cause and brainwash the public for their political ideology.
When a famous celebrity shows they are not an automaton, the response is swift and often punitive.
The deportation petitions have no impact and they'll go nowhere, but they expose the left and the fact that they're all about power and their belief the ends justifies the means.
I'm glad Mickey Minaj is stepping forward and speaking out.
I personally find it refreshing.
Meanwhile, organized leftism, including sources funded by Chinese Communist Party, sprung into action following President Trump's precision surgical arrest of communist dictator Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, hoping to astroturf opposition to the measure that was incredibly popular with many Americans and seems to be incredibly well received throughout Latin America.
Now, let's be very clear.
What transpired in Venezuela is not regime change.
If that were true, then Del C. Rodriguez, the former vice president, now president of Venezuela, would still not be in place.
This was a law enforcement action backed by the U.S. military.
The Southern District of New York had an arrest warrant for Nicolas Maduro because he was a drug kingpin, and he was arrested on that basis.
Notice there were no boots on the ground left behind, no American casualties.
This is in stark contrast to the regime change policies that we practiced under Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and both George H.W. Bush as well as George W. Bush.
This was very much like the effort by Donald Trump in Iran, where some were advocating a full-scale war, boots on the ground, a long-term commitment, yet Donald Trump, once again, successfully projected American power in a limited surgical way.
It's the exact same thing that he did in Venezuela.
Using the language of illegal bombing, imperialism, and kidnapping, activist networks supported by the communist Chinese rapidly mobilized protests across North America.
The messaging originated from well-known far-left hubs such as the People's Forum, Code Pink, and live media outlets like Breakthrough News, groups linked to Shanghai-based Marxist billionaire Neville Roy Singham, and the Chinese Communist Party's broader United Front messaging ecosystem.
Within hours, organizers pushed synchronized slogans and coordinated rallies in major cities, including Times Square.
By January 5th, more than 100 pro-Maduro demonstrations had been documented across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Socialist-elected officials quickly echoed the activist framing.
In fact, New York City's new mayor, Zoray Miamdami, called the raid a blatant act of war.
Representatives Rashida Talib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, better known as AOC, repeated false claims of illegality and regime change.
But while far less activists waged a propaganda war, our Justice Department told the truth.
The federal indictment against Maduro details how he and senior regime figures ran a state-protected cocaine trafficking empire for decades, using military aircraft, armed escorts, and alliances with groups like FARC to move thousands of tons of narcotics into the United States.
Ford's Sales Rebound00:02:30
Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, were seen in federal court today as they await justice.
Expect leftist agitators to try to undermine the court proceedings as they hope this communist thug is exonerated.
They hate everything that helps our country, which is why they should be designated as Antifa and treated like the terrorists that they are.
Meanwhile, Ford Motor Company has rebounded after ditching electronic vehicles.
The Ford Motor Company reported a strong rebound in U.S. vehicle sales in 2025, posting its best annual performance since before the pandemic, an encouraging sign for American manufacturing in the post-woke era.
Ford said Tuesday that U.S. sales rode 6% last year to approximately 2.2 million vehicles, including a 2.7% increase in the fourth quarter.
While still below the company's 2019 peak of 2.42 million units, the results exceeded broader industry growth, which analysts at Cox Automotive estimate as just would be just 2%.
Andrew Frick, president of Ford's non-fleet vehicle businesses, noted that Ford has outperformed the industry for 10 straight months.
Ford finished 2025 as the nation's third largest automaker, trailing Toyota Motor Corporation, and U.S. sales leader General Motors.
Despite production setbacks, including fires at the New York facility operated by aluminum supplier Novellis, Ford said it expects to recover lost output by adding shifts at one of their Michigan plants.
The company's best-selling F-Series trucks rose 8.3% for the year, even as fourth-quarter sales dipped slightly.
Notably, Ford's electric vehicle sales fell extremely sharply, down 14% for the year, while hybrid sales surged nearly 22%.
Traditional gas-powered vehicles still accounted for roughly 86% of Ford's total sales business.
The numbers show that Ford has rebounded by going back to basics rather than responding to electric vehicle mandates pushed by bureaucrats and the Biden administration that were literally destroying our domestic auto industry.
The electric vehicles may be a cool novelty item for the wealthy, kind of like Elon Musk's futuristic but rather weird-looking cyber trucks offered by Tesla, but they're not nearly ready to supplant gas-powered vehicles.

New data from the National Fraternal Order of Police underscores what law enforcement families already understand.
America is in the midst of a sustained and dangerous war on cops.
According to the FOP, 347 police officers were shot in the line of duty in 2025.
While most survived, 45 officers were killed, including 22 murdered in ambush-style attacks by cowards.
In total, there were 67 ambush attacks, leaving 90 officers wounded.
The FOP warned that these are not just statistics, noting that these officers were heroes as well as fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters, noting that the scale of violence is horrifying and ultimately unsustainable.
The consequences of this nationwide war on cops is clear as there is a nationwide recruitment and retention crisis driven by politicians and activists who demonize police while offering excuses for criminals.
Criminals are let back out on our streets without bail by DEI judges to wreak havoc, completely demoralizing those in law enforcement that worked so hard to lock those criminals up in the first place.
This hostile climate didn't just emerge overnight.
It was fueled by years of anti-police rhetoric, particularly from the blatantly anti-white Black Lives Matter movement.
During the height of the BLM insanity, every thug who was gunned down in the streets after initiating violence, from crack addicts to burglars to drug dealers, was deified, and the defund the police movement was launched.
Even though defund the police has fallen by the wayside, Democrats are still waging a war of attrition against police departments, hoping to eliminate local law enforcement and replace them with a federalized Antifa of sorts.
The fraternal order of the police is demanding for elected officials to act rather than posture.
All Americans must boldly defend our police, back the blue without fail, and be willing ultimately to exercise their Second Amendment rights against the criminal elements to protect themselves.
That is, if the Democrats are not able to rescind our Second Amendment rights.
Meanwhile, Denmark's prime minister says Trump's annexing Greenland would destroy NATO.
Danish Prime Minister Met Friedrichson is warning that NATO itself could collapse if the United States were to forcibly annex Greenland, escalating rhetoric after renewed interest from President Trump, who is talking about Greenland again.
So think about this for a moment.
A European country has a colony in our hemisphere.
We do not have a colony in the European hemisphere.
The very idea is absurd.
Speaking to Politico, the Danish prime minister claimed that any U.S. military action against a fellow NATO member will bring the alliance to an end.
Comments come as the Trump administration rides a wave of momentum following the immensely successful operation in Venezuela that led to the arrest of communist narco-dictator Nicholas Maduro.
That operation has signaled a renewed willingness by Washington to pursue strategic objectives in the hemisphere.
President Trump has repeatedly argued that Greenland's location and its vast mineral resources make it critical to U.S. national security, particularly as competition in the Arctic intensifies with both Russia and China.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told CNN there's no need to even think about military action to take Greenland, questioning Denmark's historical claim over the territory with just 57,000 residents.
Miller noted that the United States is the power of NATO, arguing that securing the Arctic is essential to defending Western interests.
In predictable fashion, European leaders quickly rallied behind Denmark, issuing a joint statement asserting Greenland's sovereignty and warning against any unilateral action.
Europe relies on America's military strength while resisting U.S.'s strategic leadership.
Perhaps the idea of NATO disbanding just sweetens the pot with regard to an eventual U.S. takeover of Greenland.
What good does NATO do anyway other than to provoke countries like Russia and create more war?
Perhaps it's time for the Trump administration to put America first, get us out of NATO, and then take Greenland to stick it to the entitled, ungrateful European countries that are currently under Muslim occupation.
