We're Back, Baby!  Trump Goes to Paris and Reminds the World Who's Number One

 

For those of us patriotic Americans who believe wholeheartedly in American exceptionalism, the last four years have been embarrassing.  Anytime Joe Biden has made an appearance on the world stage, we've been left with nothing more than cringeworthy gaffes and viral videos of him acting as if he has no idea where he is or what he's doing there.

But today, Donald Trump accepted an invitation from France to attend the re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which was a damaged in a fire in 2019, and the entire event was symbolic of what I hope will be a return to our original place in the world — a return to the top, a return to respect.  Even the Associated Press had to admit that Trump was welcomed with "presidential pop."  The media outlet reported:  [...]

Trump Tells Trudeau He Won't Annex Canada If They Admit Their Bacon Is Just Ham

 

[...] "I'll cut you a deal, Little Fidel," Trump was reportedly overheard saying.  "It would be very easy for us to just absorb Canada.  The maple syrup is wonderful.  Everyone loves it.  And all of the trees.  So many trees.  We could do very well with Canada, better than anyone has ever done, believe me.  But I'm willing to hold off on annexing you if you're willing to drop this talk about Canadian 'bacon.'  It's not bacon, Fidel.  Never has been.  It's ridiculous.  Nothing like bacon at all.  It's fake news."  [...]

Are the Years of Madness Ending?

 

Never in U.S. history has a president-elect been welcomed as the real president before his January 20 inauguration.  And never has the incumbent president so willingly surrendered his last two months in office and all but abdicated—to the relief of his nation and the rest of the world.

One reason so many are welcoming Trump's return is the universally desperate hope that his election spelled an end to a collective madness at home and its ripples abroad during the last four years.  And why not?

Nations overseas had never quite witnessed anything like the [...]

Liberals Sadly Wish Each Other 'Happy Holidays' One Last Time Before Trump Makes It Punishable By Death

 

[...] "Happy Holidays," a tearful Sarah Stone said, holding her children tight.  "I love you and I — I just want to tell you Happy Holidays before it's too late.  Before Trump kills us all."

Though Trump has been silent on the matter, liberals are already preparing for the inevitable day the phrase "Happy Holidays" is replaced with the dark, Christian Nationalist greeting "Merry Christmas."  Many experts believe this is everyone's last chance to say the more politically correct "Happy Holidays" before the hammer drops and they are all condemned to death.  [...]

Canada, the Panama Canal, and Now Greenland.  What's Behind Trump's Expansionist Rhetoric?

 

First, President-elect Donald Trump tweaked Canada's far-left Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about becoming governor of the 51st state of the United States of America.  Then he said that the Panama Canal should once again come under American control.  Make that the 52nd state.  And now, are you ready for a 53rd state?  On Sunday, Trump renewed a call he made during his first term: that the United States should buy Greenland from Denmark.  Could the man possibly be serious?  [...]

Greenland PM Says He's 'Ready to Talk' to President Trump About Its Future

 

Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede has expressed readiness to meet with President-elect Donald Trump, who has floated the idea of purchasing the land from Denmark.  Trump's 2019 proposal to buy the region has resurfaced, with the island's leader now signaling openness to discussing future cooperation.  This development has raised eyebrows, with many questioning whether a meeting could revive discussions on trade, defense, and resources or if it will simply highlight the strained political dynamics between the U.S. and Denmark, Greenland's autonomous territory.

A reporter asked Egede if he had spoken with Trump about a potential deal.  He confirmed that he had not but was "ready to talk."

 

"Cooperation is about dialogue.  Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions," the prime minister said.  [...]
