Denmark Vows 'More Permanent' Military Presence On Greenland In Face Of Trump Takeover Threats

Update(1145ET): The Greenland and Denmark delegations are at the White House where they are meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance. Denmark's defense minister is seeking to convince the Trump administration that a more robust joint NATO presence on the resource-rich, large island of Greenland is all that's needed - and not a full US takeover. By day's end we'll see whether Trump finds this very convincing.

SWEDEN PRIME MINISTER: SOME OFFICERS FROM THE SWEDISH ARMED FORCES ARRIVE IN GREENLAND TODAY

DENMARK, GREENLAND OFFICIALS MEET WITH VANCE AND RUBIO

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenland’s Vivian Motzfeldt are meeting with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

Hours ahead of the meeting, a report in NBC finally put a firm dollar figure to a potential purchase:

The United States could have to pay as much as $700 billion if it were to achieve President Donald Trump’s goal of buying Greenland, according to three people familiar with the cost estimate.

The estimate was generated by scholars and former U.S. officials as part of planning around Trump’s aspiration to acquire the 800,000-square-mile island as a strategic buffer in the Arctic against America’s top adversaries, these people said. It attaches a price tag of more than half the Defense Department’s annual budget to Trump’s national security priority, which has stoked anxiety across Europe and on Capitol Hill amid his rhetoric about seizing Greenland since he ordered a U.S. military raid to capture Venezuela’s president and his wife.

Immigrant Secret Service Agent Leaks JD Vance's Travel Details

Journalist James O’Keefe published a shocking report Tuesday about how a Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance’s security detail leaked details about his travels to one of O’Keefe’s undercover reporters.

Furthermore, the agent, Tomas Escotto, only became a citizen in 2018, he voted for Joe Biden for president in 2020, and he “hates ICE,” according to O’Keefe’s report, which comes on the heels of a man attacking Vance’s Cincinnati home with a hammer earlier this month.

Escotto, who may have broken the law with his leaks, has reportedly been placed on administrative leave and has had his security clearance revoked.

As is typical with O’Keefe’s journalism, Escotto was apparently catfished by the undercover female reporter—meeting her on the dating app Tinder. Footage shows Escotto spilling the beans about his job to the reporter during a dinner date. He later texted her photos of sensitive locations, as well as details of Vance’s travel plans—telling the reporter in on Dec. 26 that the vice president would be in Ohio for four to five days before traveling to Florida for the weekend.

FBI Raids Home of Washington Post Reporter Who Obtained and Published Illegally Leaked Information From Pentagon Contractor

The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter who obtained classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor.

Feds executed a search warrant at the Alexandria, Virginia, home of WaPo reporter Hannah Natanson on Wednesday morning as part of an investigation into a Maryland system administrator who has a top security clearance.

The FBI seized Natanson’s cell phone, two laptops (one personal and one work-related), and a Garmin watch.

Natanson is not the subject of the investigation.

According to The Washington Post, Natanson was at home at the time of the raid.

The contractor who stashed the classified documents at his home, Aurelio Perez-Lugones, is currently in jail.

FBI agents reportedly found classified intelligence reports in Perez-Lugones’ lunchbox and basement.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi said the search was conducted at the Pentagon’s request.

Bondi also said that the Trump Administration will not tolerate any leaks.

“This past week, at the request of the Department of War, the Department of Justice and FBI executed a search warrant at the home of a Washington Post journalist who was obtaining and reporting classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

“The leaker is currently behind bars. I am proud to work alongside Secretary Hegseth on this effort,” she said.

“The Trump Administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our Nation’s national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country,” Bondi said.

US opens missile facility in Qatar amid Iran tensions

President Donald Trump earlier signaled support for protests in the Islamic Republic and threatened new strikes

The US has opened a new air and missile defense coordination cell at a key airbase in Qatar amid rising tensions with Iran and President Donald Trump’s promises to assist protesters in the Islamic Republic.

In a statement on Tuesday, US Central Command said the facility at the Al Udeid Air Base, which houses some 10,000 troops, will be comprised of American and allied personnel and seeks to “enhance integrated air and missile defense.” The new cell is also intended to tighten information-sharing, threat warning, drills and joint responses for air and missile defense, US officials said.

Reuters reported, citing three unnamed diplomats, that some personnel had been advised to leave the base by Wednesday evening for unknown reasons. The agency noted that the US took the same measures ahead of strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last summer, while the Al Udeid Air Base came under a retaliatory attack from Tehran at the time.

Fauci Privately Called Natural Immunity Data ‘Impressive’ Before Forcing Jabs On Americans

Anthony Fauci privately acknowledged “impressive data” showed stronger immunity from a COVID-19 infection than vaccination while publicly pushing mandated shots, newly released documents show.

Former President Joe Biden’s top pandemic response officials discussed a thorough study from Israel showing the superiority of natural infection in August 2021, simultaneous with the initiation of federal vaccine mandates via an Aug. 24 Pentagon memo, according to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by Protect the Public’s Trust, indicating officials who helped compel COVID shots had contemporaneous scientific evidence they were unjustifiable for millions of Americans. The officials distorted the evidence in public statements, repeatedly saying vaccination is necessary for immunity.

“What does it say about our own institutions that, despite billions spent every year, Americans had to rely on Israeli research for their health information, and that our own officials tried to bury what didn’t fit their preferred narrative?” Protect the Public’s Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “There’s been a lot of handwringing about reforms and personnel actions by the new leadership at HHS, but this is just more evidence that the public health bureaucracy was ripe for a thorough housecleaning.”

The revelation comes amid an ongoing investigation under President Donald Trump’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary into deaths following the COVID vaccines in children and young adults. Further details could uncover whether people died from shots mandated by Biden administration officials aware of their redundancy for people with prior immunity.

“This is the evidence right here showing that our nation’s scientific leaders were not acting scientifically, and there needs to be accountability,” said Stephanie Edewaard Weidle, executive director of Feds For Freedom, to the DCNF. “We in the medical freedom fighting world, we already knew this, but to see it spelled out in these FOIA documents just makes it worse. People lost their jobs and their lives were turned upside down based on the argument that natural immunity was not enough.”

‘Look Rather Impressive’

Privately, Fauci and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins acknowledged the strength of an Israeli study, featured in the news division of the prestigious journal Science, showing people who had recovered from a natural infection were 13 times more protected against subsequent infections than those vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. Publicly, the NIH launched a public relations blitz for indiscriminate vaccine mandates.

“The data [in the Israeli study] as reported in the news article look rather impressive . . . . but I would imagine that it is more complicated than we think . . . . [I]t is conceivable and possibly likely that those who have had a serious systemic infection develop a high level of immunity that even surpasses that of full vaccination,” Fauci conceded in an Aug. 27, 2021 email with the subject line “RE: Post infection protection vs vaccine immunity.”

Despite awareness of the “impressive data” showing the strength of natural immunity by August, Fauci advocated for broad vaccine mandates in media appearances throughout the fall.

Trump Is Right: Obamacare Made ‘Fat Cat’ Insurers Rich While Patients Beg for Scraps

After years of Washington politicians lining the pockets of insurance companies and anointing them “essential partners,” President Trump has called out the insurance monopoly for what it is. “Let the money go not to the big fat cats and the insurance companies that made 1,700 percent over a short period of time,” President Trump said.

“Let the money go directly to the people, where they can buy their own health care.”

The big health insurance companies that have gorged themselves at the Obamacare trough are finally being put under the spotlight and held to account. While these companies have grown richer, patients have been left paying ever-increasing premiums and deductibles with steadily decreasing care in return.

Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) took effect, the health insurance market has become less competitive and affordable. Insurance companies have grown more consolidated, more monopolized, and more profitable. According to a report from the American Medical Association, more than 70 percent of U.S. metropolitan areas are now dominated by just one or two insurers, giving those companies enormous pricing power over patients who are desperate for care.

UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest insurer with over 2,600 subsidiaries, reported third-quarter 2025 revenues of $113.2 billion, representing a 12 percent increase year over year. At that pace, UnitedHealth’s quarterly revenue rivals or exceeds the annual revenue of global technology companies such as Google, underscoring just how concentrated and lucrative the insurance market has become.

Since the implementation of Obamacare, the ACA has funneled hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies through insurance companies, allowing Washington to cut checks to insurers while pretending they’re “helping patients.” Instead, insurers and their pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are skimming profits and passing costs downstream to patients.

If affordability is the goal, consolidation will not deliver it. Competition will. That means more insurance plan options, more choices for patients, and policies that put dollars directly in consumers’ hands instead of padding insurers’ bank accounts.

Joe Rogan: ‘ICE Are Villains’ After Fatal Minneapolis Shooting; ‘Are We Really Going to Be the Gestapo?’

Comedian and podcast king Joe Rogan claims “ICE are villains” after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICE agitator Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota. “Are we really going to be the Gestapo?” Rogan asked.

“After that woman was shot, unfortunately — everything’s unfortunate about it — but one of the real problems is, now ICE are villains,” Rogan told Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) during Tuesday’s episode of his The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

“Now people are looking at them like murderers, military people that are on the streets of our city,” Rogan continued. “And they’re masked up, which is also a problem, because if you get arrested by a cop, you’re allowed to ask the cop, ‘What is your name and badge number?'”

“If you get arrested by an ICE agent, you have no such right,” the podcaster added. “They’re wearing a mask. They don’t have to tell you shit — that’s a problem on our city streets, right? Because you could also pretend to be an ICE agent.”

Rogan then dove into an anecdote, recalling a 2024 crime in which a former UPS employee dressed in company uniform, apparently to make it easier to gain access to a Coon Rapids, Minnesota, home, where he ended up killing three people.

“If you could pretend to be a UPS driver, for sure, you could pretend to be an ICE agent, especially since they’re completely anonymous,” Rogan surmised.

“It’s not like it’s impossible to fake their logo, right?” he added. “It’s pretty easy. It just says ‘ICE,’ you know? How hard is that? You could easily imagine armed gangs pretending to be ICE agents, robbing people.”

Pam Bondi Continues Biden DOJ Weaponization Against Border Wall Builder

Timothy Shea remains the only defendant still incarcerated in the “We Build the Wall” federal case after a trial marred by allegations of judicial and prosecutorial misconduct.

Of the four men federally indicted, only Shea is currently serving prison time. On August 20, 2020, federal authorities indicted Timothy Shea with Steve Bannon and two others. While Bannon received a presidential pardon, Shea chose to fight the charges in court.

This article provides a foundational overview of the Timothy Shea case, detailing his indictment, the two trials that followed, and the sentence that has kept him imprisoned for over 27 months. The following sections will outline the key events of the case, from the initial charges to the controversial conviction and the ongoing fight for his release.

The Indictment and the Charges

Timothy Shea faced charges in the Southern District of New York in connection with the “We Build the Wall” fundraising campaign. The indictment alleged that funds from the campaign were used for personal expenses, a claim Shea sought to disprove at trial.

The case was prosecuted in New York, despite the fact that “We Build the Wall” operated primarily in Florida, Arizona, and along the border. The choice of venue in the Southern District of New York immediately raised concerns about political motivations, as the jurisdiction is known for its aggressive prosecution of cases related to President Trump and his allies.

The Trials and the Contested Conviction

Timothy Shea’s legal battle involved two separate trials; the first ended in a mistrial. Shea’s first trial in the Southern District of New York resulted in a hung jury. However, Judge Analisa Torres, an Obama-appointee, ordered a second trial.

European Central Bankers Signal ‘Full Solidarity’ With Fed’s Jerome Powell

The chairs of a dozen European and global central banks responded to U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s declaration of war on the U.S. President by declaring “full solidarity” in a joint letter on Tuesday.

Central bank bosses including key figures like The Bank of England’s Andrew Bailey and the European Central Bank’s anti-Trump chair Christine Lagarde [above, left] co-signed a letter praising the “integrity” of Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell after he broadcast a statement on Sunday, characterised as a “declaration of war” on the U.S. President, alleging lawfare.

Powell said he’d received a subpoena from Justice Department on Friday, and threats of criminal indictment regarding his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last year. He claimed the inquiries into his taxpayer-funded renovations of Fed offices and his testimony were actually “pretexts” for political interference by President Donald Trump in monetary policy.

China drops financial bomb, 3.8 trillion yuan in bad personal loans rolled over, banks dump defaults for pennies and hide losses

2026 just started and China already dropped a financial bomb 💣

Beijing quietly EXTENDED a policy letting banks roll over 3.8 TRILLION yuan of bad personal loans. Translation: the debts are so bad they can’t be cleaned up.

Banks are dumping credit-card defaults at 10–20¢ on the dollar, hiding losses, and repackaging the trash into “ABS” that circle back into ordinary people’s savings.

This is robbing the already thin wallet of the average Chinese citizen.

When regulators stop publishing data and just extend deadlines, it means the credit foundation has cracked.

3.8T yuan isn’t the end.

It’s the opening act.

CHINA’S top financial regulator extended a policy allowing banks and asset management firms to dispose of bad personal loans amid rising credit card defaults, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) last week issued guidance to banks and assets management companies to allow them to transfer and sell soured personal loans and bad single-client corporate loans beyond the original end of 2025 deadline, said the sources, asking not to be identified as the matter is private.

The extension underscores the determination from regulators to provide banks with more flexibility in managing deteriorating asset quality amid economic headwinds. The policy was originally introduced in early 2021.

The NFRA did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

'We Have Audio Recordings…': Iran Minister Stuns Israel & USA, Demolishes Trump Plan To 'Intervene'?

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi alleges that the United States and Israel orchestrated recent unrest in Iran by directing armed cells to open fire during protests to raise casualties and trigger foreign intervention, citing purported audio messages, documents, and detainee confessions as evidence. He says large cash payments were offered for attacks on police stations, government vehicles, markets, ambulances, and dozens of mosques, describes the January 8–10 violence as an externally planned extension of the “12‑day war,” and warns that Iran will seek justice for all those killed.
