Wise Up, Denmark!
What has Denmark given the world? LEGO? Minimalist furniture and housewares? Metallica’s much-derided drummer? Bo Gorzalek Pederson, the best living poet in the English language? Not much, in other words!
And yet when President Trump suggests that they hand Greenland over to the USA, do they do the right thing, the decent, gracious thing, and say, “Great idea, sir! We’re calling FedEx right now”?
They do not.
Instead, Denmark’s prime minister Mette Frederiksen, who has a weird name and, frankly, isn’t exactly Britt Eklund during the Rod Stewart years in terms of hotness, has told Greenland’s couple of hundred actual residents, “It is in times like these that you show what you are made of. You have not been cowed. That has my deepest respect.”
Well, big whoop. You could have the greatest country in the history of geography protecting you, keeping filthy disgusting Haitians and Guatemalans from coming over to eat your pets and sell your children fentanyl. You could have Walmart and Fox News and Taco Bell, and instead you’ve got the respect of Mette — who, if she had any sense of what side her toast is buttered on, would spell it Meta, as in Mark Zuckerberg — Frederiksen.
Well, here’s the deal, you tragic Danes. You can give us Denmark, or we can just take it, and then pull your pants down in front of all the girls. The choice should be pretty simple, even for a low-IQ country like yours!
As I noted in this 2009 song, might makes right, and the USA is never wrong. Wise the fuck up, Denmark!

Some married couples renew their vows every 10 years. Thinking we would probably be inundated with dual-zone air fryers and state-of-the-art food processors, Mrs. Mendelsohn (she prefers the legal spelling) and I have taken to renewing our vows every couple of months in some picturesque foreign location — Alaska, let’s say, or Malta, or, last week, Gree…
Aug 57 to Aug 58, a young 18 year old spent a year at Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island, Canadian NWT, now known as Iqualuit.
There was an Eskimo village (for that is what we called them then, even the Mounties)
Of the Mountains there were two of them a Corporal van Norman and his short side kick.
Van Norman stood well over 6ft, he was taller than my commander, Col Payne who was 6ft,
when the corporal walked into the Colonels office, he jumped up and snapped to like the Mountie was a general.
Van Norman was police, judge and jury and everyone knew it from the Newfies (New Foundlanders) that were the labor force for the Canadian Department of Transportation, to the Eskimo's and G.I,.s
At 18 I could out drink the biggest and fattest Newfie, and won many a bet. The enlisted beer hall was open to all, except the Eskimo's.
The area was overrun with huskies, and each winter as it started to snow, and the weather dropped to below freezing, the Mounties would walk around killing huskies and letting them lie.
I wondered why, until one day upon leaving the mess hall, I noticed the body of a husking moving, inside were pups keeping warm and having a meal.
Many dogs were rounded up and taken over to Dog Island, and dumped, there they would cannibalize each other until the last died of starvation.
One day a couple of Canadian D.O.T. officials showed up and wanted to see Dog Island, so they were taken over, on the way over a swell came up from nowhere swamped the boat and they drowned. a recovery diver was sent over from the mainland.
They found the two, anchored to the bottom by their waders, stripped of flesh, as sea lice had done their job
We lived in WWII Quonset huts,and the theater was also in Quonset hut, all Canadian and American employees (G.I.s) used it, there was a oil fired Franklin stove,and because the G.I.swere still working when the box office opened, the Eskimos got there first, and huddled around the stove.
Well the smell was overbearing, and I only watched one movie that whole year, The Fire Down Below with Gina Lolabrigida
The orderly room had a janitor, his name was Kayushak, he spoke halting English, and he would visit me for hours and share coffee (my job among many was to keep the coffee thermos filled, which I would do by caring it to and fro from the messhall, about 100 yards up hill from the orderly room, in which I was the personnel clerk, a power job for an 18 year old kid.
Kayushak was kool, taught me some Innuit, and offered me his wife in gratitude for the cigarettes and coffee, and company I gave him. I declined of course.
Kayushak did make me a miniature harpoon and his wife some seal skin slippers.
But I had to have the slippers dry cleaned, again and again, because they cure the skin with urine.
Pay call was conducted by a Warrant Officer, just outside the mail room, opposite the Mountie Shack.
During one pay call, as the troops were lined up, I noticed two men peering out at the windows at the line.
Soon the Mounties arrested two G.I.s. seems the women were pregnant out of season.
I left my tour with over $1,000 from gambling winnings (Newfie black jack), enough to buy my first car a 53 Merc cash out for $500, and take a girlf on a trip to NYC and up the Empire state building.
There is abase on Greenland, Thule AFB, and also were some DEW Line or Distant Early Warning Sites located north of Thule,but they now have new radar systems, so I doubt that they have maintained the DEW lines, in fact I doubt that they even have any radar capability, since the cold war was supposedly over. They sure haven't kept up maintenance on our nuclear warheads and missile capability.
I had already done NY while at Sheepshead Bay, awaiting transport to Newfoundland.
The Eskimos evidently only have vaginal sex, so the offspring are born in summer.
Nobody is "just taking" Denmark. But the fools that demand we keep sending billions to Ukraine to fight against the expansion of Russia are the same that deride Trump for expressing a long-discussed idea to help secure global peace and security for the West. It will be a hoot when China and Russia invade Greenland. Then all you idiot loser leftists with TDS will, I am sure, pivot to blame Trump instead of taking responsibility for your own clown show failures.
