Trump Owned Davos

European leaders worked themselves up into full-blown hysteria before President Trump spoke to the World Economic Forum this week with wild claims that Trump planned a U.S. invasion of Greenland that would destroy the NATO alliance and the rules-based international order. A couple of dozen European troops were hurriedly sent to Greenland. French President Macron called for an emergency G7 summit. European leaders also discussed implementing a “bazooka” trade retaliation against the United States. But when Trump spoke at the Davos Summit on Wednesday, these hair-on-fire claims melted away in the face of his masterful speech, which laid out in depth his successful record of promoting global security and ending wars.

The Board of Peace for Gaza is doomed as long as a single member of Hamas remains alive for these people are still armed and religiously committed to the destruction of Israel. I say flood the tunnels and force them up into the light so that they may no longer hide behind women and children like the cowards they are - albeit well-armed ones.

It is appropriate that the UN has been left out of peace plans for Gaza.

I was reading an article posted here a few days and the author is Arthur Schaper. One of the lines in his article is "In fact, there should be some civility from our statesmen as they engage in statescraft." The author believes that the bad language and improper physical language is disrespectful. I would agree 99% of the time with him but given the culture of violence, fraud, and hate, I beg to differ. After all, it isn't Arthur Schaper who had a shot taken at him in July 2024. I suppose because Don Lemon was at the church in Minneapolis as a journalist, his behavior was respectful and okay. Don't bother with the fact that he was there with agitators and not even attending the church service. All I can say is I am so glad that Donald Trump is who he is. . .

Trump was by far the most important person there and everyone knew it, including him. Newsom had no business whatsoever even being there and it was painfully obvious. Whoever advised him to do that was probably fired.

To understand Trump, you have be paying attention to what is going on in the world. Putin is trying to reestablish the Soviet Union starting with Ukraine. NATO countries were expecting the US to provide all the help to Ukraine while they did nothing. Trump suggested that if they did nothing he might do nothing when Putin went after the next one of them. This “mule motivation” finally worked. (To motivate a mule, you first have to get its attention by waking it in the head with a club.) Putin also showed interest in making the Arctic Ocean into a Russian lake and establishing bases in Greenland. Abruptly, NATO realized the importance of Greenland to them and sent troops to defend it. They could see for themselves they were not capable of defending it. Another example of mule motivation.

TikTok has finalized a deal to create a new American entity, avoiding the looming threat of a ban in the United States that has been in discussion for years on the platform now used by more than 200 million Americans. The social video platform company signed agreements with major investors including Oracle, Silver Lake and the Emirati investment firm MGX to form the new TikTok U.S. joint venture. The new version will operate under “defined safeguards that protect national security through comprehensive data protections, algorithm security, content moderation and software assurances for U.S. users,” the company said in a statement Thursday. American TikTok users can continue using the same app.

The SBA 8(a) Business Development Program, a long-standing federal initiative to support small businesses owned by “socially and economically disadvantaged” individuals, has come under intense scrutiny. On Jan. 16, 2026, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a major crackdown on the program's use in Pentagon contracting. He described it as "the oldest DEI program in the federal government" and vowed to take a "sledgehammer" to it, citing concerns over waste, fraud, and deviation from merit-based principles.

A financial group chief executive is accused of running the largest Ponzi scheme in Georgia’s history to fund a lavish lifestyle, which included purchasing a yacht, a multi-million-dollar condo in Mexico, luxury vehicles, jewelry, and chartering private jets. Todd Burkhalter, the CEO of Drive Planning LLC., pleaded guilty to defrauding over 2,000 victims for more than $380 million between September 2020 and June 2024, according to US Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg on Wednesday. “Unbelievably, Burkhalter shamelessly continued to scam his victims even while under federal investigation,” Hertzberg said. “Today’s guilty plea is just the first step in holding Burkhalter accountable for the considerable harm he caused.”

President Trump unveiled his Board of Peace charter that created “peace in the Middle East” and vowed to end more wars during a ceremony in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday. Trump was the first to sign the charter alongside the Minister of the Prime Minister’s Court of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and Morocco’s Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita after he described the ceremony as a “very exciting day.” “We have Peace in the Middle East, no one thought that was possible,” Trump said. “We settled eight wars and another is coming as well, you know what that is,” Trump said, teasing the ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

— Once upon a time, there was a good-looking, articulate, young boy named David Duke who attended a conservative elementary school in New Orleans. In Junior High, as an eighth-grade project, he was irresistibly attracted to the subject of segregation. He then attended a military school in Georgia and “by the time he graduated was already a member in good standing of the Ku Klux Klan”––ultimately becoming a grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In his self-published 1988 autobiography, My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding, Duke stated: “We [Whites] desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools,

Assuming his intention was to mark the first anniversary of his return to the White House, President Trump couldn’t have picked a more suitable time or event to launch the Board of Peace for Gaza. His decision to hold the launch Thursday at a Davos gathering of world leaders highlights Trump’s role in trying to stop the war between Israel and Hamas and start the massive rebuilding of Gaza. It also reflects his unprecedented global footprint and illustrates once again that he is an American president like no other.

Well sadly not, which is precisely why she is the most prosecuted doctor in the history of the GMC. They keep trying;

The U.S. was one of the first countries to join the World Health Organization (WHO) when it was created in 1948 as part of the United Nations. But on Jan. 22, 2026, it officially withdrew from the global health group. The U.S. has historically been the largest funder to the WHO, through both its assessed and voluntary contributions, so the departure is poised to disrupt both global and domestic health. “This is one of the most penny-wise and billion-dollar-foolish moves,” says Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws. The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers. “It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said in the Monday interview, calling ICE “very poorly trained.”

Iran claimed this week to have successfully tested its first long-range intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a capability that would enable Tehran to strike the eastern seaboard of the United States, according to regime-controlled outlets. The regime purportedly conducted its missile launch from an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base in the city of Semnan, firing toward Siberia with the approval of the Russian government. The missile would have traveled up to 3,700 miles to reach its target, though video of the supposed launch only shows an airborne projectile soaring through the clouds. The footage was initially posted on social media on Monday by an Iranian professor and subsequently amplified
