GREENLAND: If Trump gets his way, the U.S. will be buying a yuge chunk of land. On Sunday, he said that U.S. control and ownership of Greenland is “an absolute necessity” for “national security and freedom throughout the world.”

On Monday, Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede replied, “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom.”

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but has wide-ranging autonomy. The United States has made previous offers to purchase Greenland, first in 1867 and again in 1946. I wouldn’t put money on this third bid failing, cuz, you know, Trump.

PARTY OF HYPOCRISY: CLICK https://rumble.com/v61wmrh-kamala-campaign-mega-fundraiser-calls-it-quits-like-leaving-a-cult.html?e9s=src_v1_upp [3:13] to see DNC National Finance Committee member Lindy Li explain why she has left the “shrinking tent” party. This is not an official #WalkAway video, but it could be.

She says, “They pretend to be so loving and caring and embracing of diversity but all of a sudden, when I dare to utter any criticisms of the goddess Kamala Harris, I get ostracized. Me, after having raised tens of millions of dollars for the party. … [L]eaving the Democratic Party or even questioning the Democratic Party is like leaving a cult. It’s terrifying. I don’t want to be a part of this craziness anymore.”

WHERE’S PETA?!: The White Coat Waste reports that the NIH has been using our money to finance the torture of cats, supposedly in the name of essential scientific progress.

In 2024, our National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent $1.5 million on a study at the University of Pittsburgh that could potentially aid in the treatment of conditions like vertigo or helping us understand the effects of space travel on the human body. Four to six month old kittens are first tied down for hours or weeks until they stop resisting restraints. Then they have parts of their brains severed or removed, so they are still alive but devoid of any cognitive function. Some have holes drilled into their skulls to allow their sociopathic tormenters to lock their heads into place. Then, they are strapped to a hydraulic table that tilts and spins them in all directions for 8 to 12 hours or longer, all in a gruesome effort to induce severe motion sickness. Their eyes are subjected to bright, flashing lights and, if they fail to vomit, researchers inject copper sulfate directly into their stomachs.

Also in 2024, the Department of Defense (DOD) gave the sons and daughters of Josef Mengele at U Pitt to slice open the backs of male cats and insert electrodes into their spinal cords so they could shock them for up to ten minutes to stimulate penile erections. Then, they severed their spinal cords to paralyze their lower bodies and continued the shocks for another 10 minutes. In another experiment, the so-called scientists at Pitt shoved marbles up cat rectums, attached electrodes to their spinal cords, and shocked them until they pooped out the marbles. One particularly unfortunate cat had to endure 11 minutes of relentless shocks just to expel four marbles. The report includes close ups of the marbles as they emerged from the cats’ anuses. All in the name of “national security.”
