SOLDIER SECRETARY
The verdict is in! All the grotesque Democrat smears and hysterical rants at Pete Hegseth's hearing have finally backfired, writes JOSH HAMMER
Democrats set the tone early in Tuesday's highly anticipated confirmation hearing for President-elect Trump's embattled Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth: Double, triple, and quadruple down on bogus allegations and discredited smears. He's an alcoholic! He's a rapist! He's a misogynist! Oh, and he also ran a veteran's charity into the ground! Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed, the top Dem on the Armed Services Committee, led the Banzai charge and his colleagues followed: the hysterical Kirsten Gillibrand, the dim-witted Mazie Hirono, the self-righteous Tim Kaine and the shrieking Elizabeth Warren, numbering among the legislative lightweights.

Denmark's PM on Trump & Greenland
Denmark's prime minister held a 45-minute phone conversation with Donald Trump where she says she delivered the same message about Greenland as the territory's leader: it's not for sale.
The official readout of PM Mette Frederiksen's call addressed in black and white one of the most stunning issues of the presidential transition: Trump describing U.S. ownership of the world's largest island an 'absolute necessity.'
Trump also refused to rule out military and economic force to obtain it, brandishing a version of the manifest destiny and expansionism that were part of the country's early history.
'In the conversation, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of strengthening security in the Arctic, and that the Kingdom of Denmark is ready to shoulder even greater responsibility for this,' according to Frederiksen's office.
'In the conversation, the Prime Minister referred to the statements of the Chairman of the Greenlandic Parliament, Múte B. Egede, that Greenland is not for sale, and the Prime Minister has argued that it is up to Greenland itself to make a decision on independence,' the statement continued.
According to the readout, he also spoke about the way Greenland already contributes to U.S. security. It has a renamed Space Force base, and has a territorial relationship with a NATO ally who subsidizes Greenland to the tune of about $500 million a year.
Frederiksen said in a TV interview last week that 'Greenland is not for sale and will not be in the future either.'
The latest development follows Donald Trump, Jr.'s visit to Greenland, which itself came after the Danish king changed the royal coat of arms to reflect the importance of the island.
On Tuesday Greenland's premier, Egede, spoke of his desire for Greenlandic independence, even while vowing to work with the U.S. 'The reality is we are going to work with the U.S. — yesterday, today and tomorrow,' he said in Nuuk, the island's capital.
'We have to be very smart on how we act,' he added. 'The power struggles between the superpowers are rising and are now knocking on our door.'
Greenland, a former colony of Denmark since the 18th century, became a self-governing Danish territory in 1953.
The island gained the right to declare independence through a public vote in 2009 — a move Egede strongly supports. …
