In his latest Substack newsletter, Krugman noted that Trump has threatened tariffs against eight European nations that have sent troops to the semiautonomous Danish territory as a “tripwire” against U.S. troops potentially opening fire on allies. Read the full analysis on Substack. Trump’s tariff threat, Krugman argued, is “basically a howl of frustration on the part of a mad dictator who has just realized that he can’t send in the Marines.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementThe Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences winner also pointed out that the targeted countries have previously struck trade deals with Trump and are now finding out that “a deal with Trump lasts until he feels like breaking it.”Related...Read the original on HuffPost
At a weekend performance, Bruce Springsteen dedicated a song to Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. Good, 37, who was a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was driving in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 when ICE agents circled her vehicle. The incident has sparked outrage and protests across the country, including from Philadelphia officials, who have called for ICE to leave Minneapolis. "As the mayor of that city has said, 'ICE should get the f--- out of Minneapolis,'" Springsteen said. "This song is for you in the memory of a mother of three, an American citizen, Renee Good."
With the NFL's conference championship games set — the Rams at Seattle following New England at Denver — three of the four possible Super Bowl permutations are rematches. And Seattle has played both combinations, beating the Broncos in the 2013 season and losing to the Patriots a year later. That was when Peyton Manning won his second ring, with his second franchise, then called it a career. There's a possibility that Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford could follow that blueprint. Still, Stafford will turn 38 the day before the Super Bowl, and it wouldn't be much of a curveball if that were his last game, especially if the Rams were to win.

Trump wrote,“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.
