NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:

Dear Ambassador:

President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Apologies for the long post. On Nov. 7, I was the guest of honor at the Marine Corps ball for Littoral Distribution Company A, 6th Distribution Support Battalion, CLR-4 down in Savannah, GA.

Following my speech, I didn’t expect a standing ovation. I didn’t expect Marines to share with me the story of their friends who had taken their own lives. I didn’t expect the Marines who came up to tell me about how they laughed and cried during my speech.

@finnygo and others have said I should post my speech. Here’s a tranche of it.

“Because America wants Marines — individuals willing to stand watch while others sleep.

We need people willing to wake up before dawn, lace up their boots, run five miles through mud. And sand. And dust. And snow. And swamp. And water. And heat. On concrete. Through fog. And hallowing winds and jagged rock. Then spend the rest of the day training for a fight he or she hopes will never come.

We need people willing to miss birthday parties and wedding anniversaries. Baseball games and dance recitals.

People tough enough to storm a beach, steady enough to hold the line, and humble enough to bow their head at a comrade’s grave.

We need Marines.

We need people who can swim through surf, march through desert, and fight through jungle — but compassionate enough to provide aid after a tsunami or storm or to collect toys for children in need during Christmas.

We need people who can charge into chaos with courage but cradle a wounded friend with gentleness.

We need people willing to get in their finest dress uniform. Drive for miles to a home they’ve never been to and deliver the devastating news that their loved ones have died in service. We need people that will stay with that family during their bereavement. We need people strong enough to do it all over again for another family.

We need Marines.

People who can fix a rifle in the rain, find humor in hardship, and faith in the face of fear. Someone who can hold a rifle steady and be a friend at the ready.

It has to be someone who will stand guard on a ship at midnight, patrol a dusty village at dawn, and salute the same flag they might one day be draped beneath. Someone who’d fight for a country that sometimes forgets, but never forsakes.

It has to be someone who would raise their hand, swear an oath, and mean it. Who’d serve not for fame, or fortune but for the individual beside them and the nation behind them.

We need Marines.

Finally, if there is one regret that I hold from my time in the Marine Corps, it’s the regret of not appreciating nights like these when I was in uniform.

It’s easy to get caught up in all the preparation and money one has to drop to come to a Marine Corps Ball.

You got to pay for a hotel. And gas for the car. And get your medals mounted. And your date might need a suit or dress. And heaven help you if you’ve gained or lost weight because that means your dress blues have to be redone.

But…every year around Memorial Day, I write down the names of 36 Marines that I served with. 21 of them were killed in combat. 5 of them died in non-combat incidents like car crashes or from health issues. One was murdered. And 8 of them died by suicide.

I remember going to Marine Corps balls with these Marines and I wish I had appreciated them more at the time because looking back, I’d give anything to have another night with them.

Remember….this night is for you. And your accomplishments. You're a part of the fabric that makes the Marine Corps great.

Happy birthday, Marines. And Semper Fidelis.”

Dear MAGA—guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

On this date in 1933 the German N*zis held their first book burning celebration. With 40,000 in attendance N*zi minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels railed against literature that “promoted gay and transgender people” and then lit the match, to thunderous applause. The rest, as they say, is history.

President Zelenskyy thanked the USA 94 times since Feb 24, 2022.

United24 Media tracked only daily addresses, so the real count is much higher.

There it is.

Trump says he “can't guarantee” Americans won’t see their prices go up under his tariff plan.

Remember this moment.
