Trump Owned Davos

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 1/23/2026 6:02:22 AM

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.

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.

Twenty likes for #14. And for clarification when "NATO realized the importance of Greenland to them and sent troops to defend it" they sent a few dozen troops.....all that they could muster and get their with their very limited military resources. I'm surprised that they didn't have to fly on commercial airlines, having so limited military airlift capacity.

In 2014, when I wrote the book Liberty Risen: The Ultimate Triumph of Libertarian-Republicans, many reviewers couldn’t understand why I wrote it. I was not (and still am not) a libertarian. So, did I write to support specific Libertarian candidates and/or causes? Or to help further the relevance of libertarian ideology within the GOP? The truth is that the book was an objective assessment of where the GOP was heading, given the confluence of wealthy donors and frustrated youth who mutually identified as Libertarian—at the time, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was even the hip choice for President.

The Supreme Court on Thursday gave California Democrats a week to respond to the California Republican Party’s request to block the new Democrat-drawn congressional district maps from being used in November. The request for a response, issued by Justice Elena Kagan, who is handling the emergency-injunction request for the court, surprised many court watchers. Given that the justices allowed Texas Republicans’ gerrymandered map to stand, most thought the Supreme Court would allow the Los Angeles district court’s ruling earlier this month, validating California’s new map to stand as well.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone underground, reportedly hiding out in a bunker out of fear of being wiped out by US airstrikes — as the USS Abraham Lincoln steams toward the Persian Gulf. The 86-year-old supreme leader has moved to a fortified shelter in Tehran connected to a series of elaborate underground tunnels after senior military officials warned of the increasing likelihood of an imminent US attack, Iran International reported, according to the Jerusalem Post. Khamenei has left his youngest son Masoud Khamenei, 53, in charge of running the day-to-day management of the Islamic Republic, the Jerusalem Post reported.

President Trump told The Post that a secret new weapon he calls “The Discombobulator” was essential to the daring US raid that captured Venezuela’s drug-dealing dictator Nicolas Maduro. Trump boasted that the mysterious weapon “made [enemy] equipment not work” when US helicopters swooped into Caracas on Jan. 3 to arrest Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on federal drug and weapons charges — without losing a single American life. “The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office. I would love to,” the president added, before confirming its use in the stealth operation.

Texas formally exonerated Tommy Lee Walker, a black man executed in 1957 for the rape and murder of a white woman, a decision the state reached nearly 70 years after it ended his life using the electric chair. Officials admit that Walker didn’t commit the crime and that his conviction rested on unreliable evidence and racial bias. This month’s admission didn’t change anything but how history records his name. A Case Built on Coercion and Silence Walker’s conviction relied heavily on his confession police received after prolonged interrogation. There wasn’t any physical evidence that connected him to the crime, witness testimony shifted, and his defense counsel didn’t challenge the prosecution’s narrative with meaningful scrutiny.

We reported the other day on a terrific X post from Blue Lives Matter about faking out the anti-ICE agitators. It was great.

Oh, now that was a classic scene from the movie, A Bronx Tale. Blue Lives Matter made it clear they weren't calling in the addresses. Just the thought is something else. And while they're occupied with that, ICE can go about doing its job without being interrupted. It's about stymying their interference.

When Elon Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, many commentators treated the move as a personal eccentricity or a risky business bet. But as the years since have shown, Musk’s decision was something far more consequential: an effort to restore His defense of free speech was only the beginning. Musk’s leadership at X revealed something deeper about his worldview — one rooted in constitutional limits, transparency, and a belief that concentrated power, whether in government or corporate bureaucracies, is inherently dangerous to liberty. In an era when most corporate leaders bend to political pressure, Musk has repeatedly chosen confrontation over compliance when core freedoms are at stake.

As millions of people braced for a massive winter storm to hit two-thirds of the country, grocery store shelves in the South, Midwest and Northeast started to look a little bare. Two essentials everyone seems to stock up on ahead of winter weather, bread and milk, were hit especially hard. But why do people gravitate to those two items in particular? Milk could go bad if you lose power, after all, and bread isn’t exactly a strong source of nutrition. Accuweather reports the idea of buying milk and bread before a winter storm dates back to the Great Blizzard of 1978, which hit New England.

This is just one of the meticulously documented revelations in bestselling author and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer’s new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.

A nurse who hoped that Donald Trump‘s White House press secretary would suffer a severe injury during childbirth is no longer employed. This is good news, because someone who wishes grave harm on political opponents should not be treating mothers and babies. There is a difference that not even all conservatives understand between free speech and explicitly wishing harm or terror on someone. Even the Founders were in agreement that calling for someone’s death or crippling injury is not, in fact, First Amendment-protected speech. And in the case of a nurse, this is particularly relevant if she fantasizes about medical catastrophe

Rather than play statesman on the world stage, Gavin Newsom brought his troll act to Davos — and it bombed. Trump is alienating our allies through his boorish rhetoric, Democrats routinely scream. Yet Newsom opted to be at least as boorish, slamming foreign leaders for being too polite to Trump — in the crudest language possible: “I can’t take this complicity, people rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of kneepads for all the world leaders.” Newsom has used the sexually-suggestive and degrading “kneepads” line before, bashing Republicans who defer to the prez.
