Trump Announces Tariffs On All Countries Supporting Greenland: “This is untenable” until “complete and total purchase”

Donald Trump is going to start World War III.

His response to European countries sending support to Greenland today is to double down on his threats.

He says until the complete and total purchase of Greenland from Denmark is completed he’ll be placing tariffs on any country that will help them.

Is this what you MAGA America First people wanted? To make NATO and the EU our enemies?

This is what happens to a brain fed by Big Macs for 50 years.

Meanwhile, there are massive protests in Greenland and Denmark. The world is laughing at him.

“We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Bloody Hell! Broadway’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” Biggest Show of the Week Thanks to Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy

Bloody Hell! Broadway’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” Biggest Show of the Week Thanks to Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy

The truth is, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” was never a huge hit.

When the two part play opened in March 2018 — after a hit run in London’s West End — the show was hot. But it was also long — three hours more including a food break.

In 2021, after the pandemic, the plays were combined into something more reasonable. But box office was never off the charts.

Then came Tom Felton. The actor who played scheming Draco Malfoy oined the cast a few weeks ago, before the holidays.

Now, with families returned to their homes from vacations, guess what’s the hottest ticket in town?

“Cursed Child” was number 1 last among all Broadway shows, doubling its best days in one fell swoop.

It beat everything on the Rialto including “Hamilton” (now back to normal without Leslie Odom Jr.), “The Lion King,” and “Wicked.”

Felton’s presence should be a lesson to everyone on Broadway. He’s the draw. So many shows don’t have one, and either sputter along or close. He’s such a magnet for ticket buyer that Saturday night’s performance is sold, so is Sunday’s and the rest have very few openings.

I hope the producers are paying him for kicking up the jams! Felton is staying through May.

If only they could Daniel Radcliffe to pop in from his new play, or Emma Watson or Rupert Grint to come for a couple of weeks.

Trump Accepts Venezuelan Leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize Although It Will Never Be Recognized (Except at Mar-a-Lago)

Trump Accepts Venezuelan Leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize Although It Will Never Be Recognized (Except at Mar-a-Lago)

Maria Corina Machado is a clever lady.

From the minute she was told that she’d received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Venezuelan leader started dangling the gold disc in front of Trump.

She knew how much he craved it, and spoke about it endlessly. Her first reaction was “let him have it,” “he deserves it,” “I’ll share it with him.”

Today she arrived in Washington and turned over the medal to his twitching hands. She made an incoherent speech to press outside the White House. Now Machado just hopes she’ll be installed as president of Venezuela and be a happy Trump puppet.

All of this despite the Nobel rules: awards are not transferable. They will never recognize this transaction. So it was all for show.

According to what used to be the rules, Trump would have to leave the medal at the White House. But you know that by this weekend he’ll be parading it around at Mar-a-Lago, where it will stay.

Tony Dokoupil Reveals He’s a Harry Styles Fan Girl on the CBS Evening News, Breathlessly Announces UK Pop Star’s New Album

Tony Dokoupil Reveals He’s a Harry Styles Fan Girl on the CBS Evening News, Breathlessly Announces UK Pop Star’s New Album

It was a throwback to that time Edward R. Murrow revealed he’d been writing fan letters to Patti Page for years.

It was also a little when Walter Cronkite announced the release of Bobby Sherman’s new single, “Julie Do You Love Me.”

Tony Dokoupil, the “host” of the CBS Evening News, today delivered the breaking headline that UK Pop star Harry Styles was releasing a new album. Completely disrespected over his first 10 days, Dokoupil felt it necessary to inform his viewers that he’s as shallow as a toddler’s pool.

Tony is hoping to get a free Styles boa from the merch shop.

You can’t make this up.

Uh Oh: Ben Affleck-Matt Damon Movie “The Rip” Drops After Midnight with No Reviews: Will It Hurt Co-star Teyana Taylor’s Oscar Chances?

Uh Oh: Ben Affleck-Matt Damon Movie “The Rip” Drops After Midnight with No Reviews: Will It Hurt Co-star Teyana Taylor’s Oscar Chances?

After midnight tonight, at 3am, Netflix drops a new movie with no reviews.

“The Rip” is directed by Joe Carnahan and stars Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Teyana Tayler.

Taylor is in the middle of on Oscar campaign for “One Battle After Another.” She doesn’t need a bomb to hurt her chances.

But so far there are no reviews for “The Rip.” Personally, I’ve never even received a press release for it, let alone a screener.

UPDATE: NY Times review: the concept is immediately, perfunctorily legible, and that’s usually what anybody and their mother tune in to Netflix for on a Thursday night. But to do that to a cast like this — with Damon and Affleck, with Chandler, Steven Yeun and Teyana Taylor? These are heavy hitters who suddenly look like small potatoes in a subpar popcorn shootout movie.

A spy who did see it recently said, “Uh, it’s good…it’s okay.” That will not be a quote on the poster.

“The Rip” is just going to Netflix and not to theaters. If it’s really bad, I’m sorry, because Affleck and Damon’s “Air,” was so good on Amazon Prime a couple of years ago.

And Taylor really doesn’t need a bad mark on her resume now that all systems are go.

I guess we’ll find out tomorrow morning — way after 3am!

Harry Styles Bringing Disco Back in March with First New Album Since Grammy Winning “Harry’s House”: 12 Dance Tracks

Harry Styles has finished plundering 70s rock and is moving on to disco.

His new album is called “Kiss All the Time. Disco Occasionally.’ It drops on March 6th with 12 new tracks.

“Kiss All the Time” is Styles’s first new album since his Grammy winning, “Harry’s House.”

Kid Harpoon is producing.

Styles is literally filling up the space abandoned for some reason by Justin Timberlake.

He also follows Bruno Mars, whose own dance album will appear a few weeks earlier.

There’s a tour coming, no doubt, and a whole line of merch, and lots of disco fashion – you can only imagine that Harry — who’s been trudging around Rome in a trench coast for the last year — is waiting to put on platform sneakers and feathers.

Can these two crazy kids make it in today’s mixed up world?

CBS Rolling the Dice on A Scoop No One Believes: That Renee Good’s ICE Assassin Had “Internal Bleeding”

CBS Rolling the Dice on A Scoop No One Believes: That Renee Good’s ICE Assassin Had “Internal Bleeding”

At 6:30pm the CBS Evening News will continue to dig its own grave.

They’re touting this scoop:

“BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.”

The shooter, Jonathan Ross, was wearing significant safety wear. He walked away from the shooting without an evidence of pain. It’s all on video tape.

CBS had better show some evidence to back up this claim. If anything Ross gave himself an ulcer from killing an unarmed woman.

But internal bleeding from a car moving 20 mph?

Another freakazoid night of the Tony Dokoupil show starts soon…

PS There are a lot of greatest hits albums, etc. But do listen to “One Hand Clapping” to get the essence of Wings.

Oscar Buzz for Short Listed October 7th Doc, “Holding Liat,” the Harrowing Story of a Couple’s Violent Abduction by Hamas

Oscar Buzz for Short Listed October 7th Doc, “Holding Liat,” the Harrowing Story of a Couple’s Violent Abduction by Hamas

After everything we’ve heard about the Hamas bombing of Israel on October 7, 2023 it’s hard to imagine breaking bread with someone who survived it.

And yet, there was Liat Beinin Atzili, last week, at Serafina restaurant in the theater district. (She was not seeing a show.) If you watch the Oscar shortlisted “Holding Liat,” filmed by her family friend, Brandon Kramer, while Liat was held hostage by Hamas (54 days), you can’t believe it.

The very powerful film — eligible for an Oscar, now playing at New York’s Film Forum and starting Friday in Los Angeles — should be seen by everyone because it humanizes a horrific time that resonates even more today. The triumph of “Holding Liat” — which counts among its producers Darren Aronofsky — is how, under these grim circumstances the film manages to hold in emotional and dramatic proportion all sides of the latest stage of the Middle East conflict.

Liat and her husband Aviv were kidnapped by Hamas from their Kibbutz near Gaza. They’re in their 50s but look younger. They had three adult children and both sets of grandparents. They were the perfect, loving family until this massive tragedy blew them apart.

Liat and Aviv were immediately separated by Hamas after their kidnapping. In short time we learn that Aviv was killed. The family actually visits the blood stained site of his murder.

But we’re skipping ahead.

The main characters here are Liat’s parents: the extraordinary father, Yehuda, and mother, Chaya. As Kramer films them cinema verite style, the couple jumps into action to find their daughter and her husband. They meet with all the press, every politician, and at one point Yehuda travels to Washington DC where he’s shocked to find himself embraced by Gaza-hating right wingers. He has no such enmity. He just wants his daughter back.

When Liat is finally reunited with her family, the first thing she says is “Nothing bad happened to me” — meaning no physical torture. But
was she fed adequately? Could she go to the bathroom in privacy? did they abuse her at all? Liat does not want to say. Rather, her awareness that others were not so lucky is at the forefront of her thoughts, as well as the understanding that she did not have to be held for 54 days, nor did others have to remain for 200 such horrific days; she was simply not the priority of her government.

Did that mean that her captors were humane? Her “luck” is bittersweet. Liat let on that she had the thought: she was not far from her family If only she could write them and the children an email to say she was all right. They could maybe drop her off at a place in Gaza. She could find her way home. These daydreams occupied her. They were Hamas, after all, much younger than she was; they had made their choices.

Filmmaker Brandon Kramer had met this family, when he and his brother Lance, a producer on the film, had gone to Israel on Birthright. When the October massacre occurred, he got in touch to find out how these distant relatives were, not even thinking they would respond. They met up with Yehuda when he came to Washington as part of a delegation to help free the hostages.

The Kramers began the film just hoping to document a family story, but found so much more as the speakers included Yehuda’s brother, Joel, a professor who lives in Portland, Oregon (and has radically different views than his brother). Liat’s younger sister Tal, who moved to Portland, adds her voice. The family becomes a microcosm of differing opinions on Israeli/ Palestinian politics. Brandon Kramer allows the close-ups on Yehuda’s rolling eyes to tell a story itself, recognizing how much his family members are pawns in an emotional drama that sacrificed Israelis and Palestinians alike.

And Liat, despite the recognition that the priorities of those in power do not align with hers, like many hopeful Israelis, works to find a path to peace.– with Roger Friedman
