The Kremlin on Friday said it is closely watching the Trump administration’s threats to annex Greenland.

“The situation is unusual,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, according to comments reported by Russian state news outlet Ria Novosti.

His comments come shortly after the U.S., Denmark and Greenland held talks at the White House over the future of the Arctic island.

Russia called the Trump administration’s threats to take over Greenland “extraordinary” on Friday, adding it would continue monitoring the situation.

“The situation is unusual, I would even say extraordinary from the standpoint of international law,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to comments reported by Russian state news outlet Ria Novosti.

U.S. President Donald Trump has talked up acquiring Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory, since a daring military operation to depose Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3. He said the U.S. needs Greenland for national security and that only Washington can counter an alleged threat from Russia and China to the island.

Peskov added that Trump “has said that international law is not a priority for him. The situation is developing along a different trajectory, and we, along with the rest of the world, will be watching to see which one.”

A spokesperson for the Kremlin was not immediately available to comment when contacted by CNBC.

That’s funny they finally got rid of the rage about VZ, hearing Trump said Ukraine is blocking peace. Normally Russia would get mad, but I suspect there is a better relationship with the U.S. I don’t know, but the EU has to believe the U.S. because of their stupid plan to Ukraine used as their proxy war to conquer and steal Russia. The EU doesn’t even enough military to defend their own territory

Minnesota State Rep.: We don't want to have to deal with fraud, riots | American Agenda

On Friday's "American Agenda," Minnesota State Rep. Mike Wiener discussed filing Articles of Impeachment against Gov. Tim Walz for massive fraud.

(I bet the U.S. Govt was monitoring Walz when he was demanding protects to cover for the fraud. He’s a very accomplished China propaganda leader!)

Former Mobster Breaks Down Minnesota Somali Scam

In this one, I’m looking at the Minnesota Somali daycare and food‑program fraud through the eyes of somebody who actually ran Mafia scams for a living. I ran one of the biggest gas‑tax scams this country had ever seen, so I know what an organized operation looks like.

​

What I see in Minnesota isn’t “sloppy paperwork.” It’s a Somali mafia‑style network: shell companies, fake centers, recycled addresses, money moved into cars, houses, and businesses, all built on weak government oversight and politicians who looked the other way. It’s the same mentality we had in the Italian Mafia—different product, different players, same playbook.

​

I’m not saying every Somali in Minnesota is a criminal. But when billions of dollars are sitting on the table with almost no controls, mob guys, fraudsters, and crooked officials—Italian, Somali, or anybody else—will show up to rob you blind. The names change. The mafia doesn’t.

Full dedication ceremony: Stretch of Palm Beach road renamed

Six months after Palm Beach County commissioners voted to rename a stretch of Southern Boulevard after President Donald Trump, a dedication ceremony for the formal name change took place at the commander-in-chief's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The segment of Southern Boulevard between Kirk Road and South Ocean Boulevard covers the highly visible route from Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago.

The name change, backed by legislation signed last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis, sparked heated public comment but ultimately passed by a 7–0 vote.

The county stressed that the renaming is purely ceremonial. Postal addresses and emergency-response systems will continue to use Southern Boulevard.
