From the Associated Press:
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, as he declared U.S. control of both to be vital to American national security.
Speaking to reporters less than two weeks before he takes office on Jan. 20 and as a delegation of aides and advisers that includes Donald Trump Jr. is in Greenland, Trump left open the use of the American military to secure both territories. Trump’s intention marks a rejection of decades of U.S. policy that has prioritized self-determination over territorial expansion.
“I’m not going to commit to that,” Trump said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. “It might be that you’ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.” He added, “We need Greenland for national security purposes.”
Trump has also inquired about the prospects of getting his bust carved as the fifth American president on Mount Rushmore.
Maybe there’s a connection between the viewpoints of a criminal sociopath and his interest in destroying our country’s relationships with our international allies. Not sure.

Examining the Concept of “Generational Wealth”

No Decent American Wants to Hear Our President Refer to the People of Other Countries as “Garbage”
I believe the subject matter of the video here will ultimately play a large contributing factor to bringing down Trump. His referring to Somalis as “garbage” and his doubling down on it here is abhorrent to most Americans.
Yes, his racist MAGA base is cheering him on for his demonization of people from a poor country with black skin, but most Americans can see that this comes directly from the is the playbook of all fascist leaders.

Concept in Small Wind
Here’s a concept in small wind for readers to check out. A few points:
It’s not new. A few years ago, there was a nearly identical idea that came and went, when investors came to understand that this concept, as all the others, were dead in the water.
They have an “axial flux generator.” Really? Having we all seen “Back to the Future?” Making up technobabble like the “flux capacitor” gets laughs, but that’s about it.
The fact that climate change poses a huge threat doesn’t mean that every yo-yo idea in renewable energy makes sense.
There is a reason, based on physics, that vertical axis wind turbines are not competitive with their horizontal counterparts and do not exist in the enormous industry of wind energy.
The wind conditions on our roofs are impeded by trees and neighboring buildings. That’s the reason that wind farms are located in remote areas with incredible wind resources. No one would like to live in a place like Tehachapi, California with gale-force winds.
The spokesperson’s idea that he’s raising investor capital to engineer the product because “you to have the recipe before you bake the cookies” is catchy, but this is a recipe that clearly cannot exist.
