Re: Denmark tells Trump to stop threatening to seize Greenland

The post is presented as a "Gotcha!! Trump was right" -- but I don't think it is the gotcha moment the poster tries to present. 1. The guy is being diplomatic. He says Trump is right and in the same sentence says other Nato leaders are right. 2. He's talking strictly about the importance of the security of Greenland -- no-one has ever said it wasn't important. What everyone has pointed out is that the security is guaranteed by virtue of Denmark being part of NATO. Greenland is defacto part of Denmark. If the USA wanted to additionally boost security it could have - easily without any fuss. 3. There is no reference or support for Trump's claim he needs to OWN Greenland ..... and that is the ONLY issue that has created this international hullabaloo. If anything the comments highlight how Trumps words and bombastic imperialistic "negotiations" have undermined safety because once close allies are putting the US at arms length. Trust and confidence in the USA as being a reliable partner have been eroded. Interesting - and unelated to Greenland but also very much related to Greenland in terms of the USA's attitude to EU and the way Trump's administration panders to Putin while slamming, deriding and undermining Western alliances .... President of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde abruptly walked out of an invitation-only sit-down dinner in Davos. https://nationalpost.com/news/world...os-leads-to-lagardes-abrupt-exit-sourcesAnyone want to offer any suggestions why Trump continually pushes a Putin friendly narrative on Ukraine, now with the Gaza peace board - while simultaneously alienates and drives a wedge between the USA and western allies??

Yes, and YES.
This is exactly what I meant, when I said that a good solo takes time to breathe. Pacing, and 'meeting the mood/moment' set the aesthetic.
Chet was a master at this.

Stefanski is putting the band back together and I have a feeling his offense is going to be lighting things up in '26.
I don't know enough about Atlanta's OLine, RBs, or WRs to say anything one way or the other on them, but Callahan will make that OLine better, which will make that RB better, and with Kirk Cousins there, those WRs will look better.

Tommy Rees is following head coach Kevin Stefanski from Cleveland to Atlanta.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Falcons are hiring Rees as their offensive coordinator. The team named Stefanski as its new head coach earlier this week.
Rees, 33, was promoted to offensive coordinator last offseason after spending 2024 as Cleveland’s tight ends coach. He previously served as Alabama’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in Nick Saban’s final year. Rees held the same positions at his alma mater, Notre Dame, in 2020-22.
Rees generated some interest at the college level for head coaching vacancies this offseason, with Penn State and Michigan reportedly interviewing him. He also interviewed for the Browns’ head coaching job.
Looks like BROWNS Offense 2.0 With better players.. ? Will be interesting to see how they do.

Per AI: "Hue Jackson is not currently an NFL head coach but is available and seeking opportunities."
I'm sure what we got last time wasn't the REAL Hue and it would be different this time.

I'm just curious, do you think that explains going from 3-14 to 14-3 in its totality? Are you saying they didn't make great strides from 2023 and 2024 to 2025?

We simply do not believe the lies the media are telling and want the criminal element that came here illegally removed. You don't believe the truth about it ether. Even when a police chief tells it to you. Even when the man in the video drug out half naked had his citizenship validated. Even when trump said just yesterday that "mistakes have been made". If it doesn't say what you want it to, you refuse to believe it. Facts be damned. We want the criminal element removed too. We just don't think profiling people, sending in thousands of ICE agents into a single city at a time and detaining people just because they're brown is the way to do it. And anyone that believers otherwise? They only care about their own rights and as far as they're concerned the rights of everyone else can go to hell. A Navajo man was just detained by ICE today. Let me guess? A "media lie"? ‘Makes you sick’: Navajo man says he was detained by ICE https://www.wdbj7.com/2026/01/21/makes-you-sick-navajo-man-says-he-was-detained-by-ice/

You mean that NATO needs to do more to protect Greenland? But that's not nearly close to all trump has been saying. It's just a small portion of it. We already have an agreement in place and have had for decades to permit us to build and man military bases in Greenland if protecting Greenland was the primary goal to begin with. This is about taking control of their minerals just like what he did in Venezuela was about the oil.
The agreement has been in place since World War II, formalized by the 1951 Defense Agreement between the U.S. and Denmark, that allows the U.S. to maintain a military presence, including bases, in Greenland for mutual defense, initially against the Soviet Union and now for NATO.

If you don't think there are tons of MAGA supporters who don't think ICE is justified in racial profiling "because illegal immigrants" ... Then your more willfully ignorant than I thought. I'm sorry. I have no idea what this means. Yeah polls have shown very little support among Republicans have fallen off for Trump involving immigration. We simply do not believe the lies the media are telling and want the criminal element that came here illegally removed.

I will honestly only watch because there likely won't be anything else on during those time slots. I have no interest in any of these teams.
I expect the Pats to win, for sure, and I'd prefer to never see any L.A. or NY team win anything, ever, so I'm defaulting to preferring the Seahawks win.

Yo, oober, is this what you mean by "guerilla journalist"?
No, but Don Lemon is one of (if not the last) person I'd look to as a positive example of pro journalism. These guerilla journalists don't make any sort of effort to mask their agenda/bias. To me, it seems silly to decry reporters/journos from MSM outlets for their failed attempts to hide extreme bias and cherry-picking only to turn to people who do largely the same thing but do so loud and proud.

I have no problem with the process and even the candidates.
Berry is a smart guy. However, Haslam will add his two cents which is worth way more since he owns the team.
I think Haslam and Berry want a guy who can develop a quarterback. JS they want as DC.
The question is will JS be ok with that? Or, will they accept a OC that JS wants?

Actually the Pats turned it around in one year. During the regular season they went 4-13 in 2023, 4-13 in 2024 and went 14-3 in 2025. And I admit I didn't have a strong read on Drake Maye. He seemed like a guy that could break either way after last season and most of those guys don't take the good break. But damn, did he turn it on. He was in place though. But... they added a ton of key role players; WR's Steffon Diggs and Hollins, DT Milt Williams, Carlton Davis, robert Spillane, OT Morton Moses. And Josh Dobbs who's like a second QB coach. They also got two OL starter in the draft who look very solid as well as Treyvon Henderson. That is quite the one year haul. I'm not saying we couldn't do it. We may actually have more talent than they did before that haul, but they nailed the off season. Most importantly, they had the QB in place, who picked the perfect moment to bloom. They also had the benefit of playing dang-near nobody this year. Their regular season schedule perfectly lined up (especially down the stretch) playing teams while they were dinged up/slumping. I think they are the biggest example of fool's gold and I predict a Houston-esque turd when they play a quality team. They were only able to put up 16 vs the Chargers (a good D) but luckily they were able to tee off on Herbert whose line is in shambles, and were gifted the next game ala Stroud. IMO, their only marquee wins would be sweeping Buffalo (who was beat up on D for the second game, but still a tough one). I also expect a significant regression next year.
