1 poll finds majority of Greenland respondents support joining US
A new survey found that a majority of Greenland respondents support joining the United States.
According to a poll by Patriot Polling released Sunday, 57.3 percent of respondents approve of Greenland becoming part of the U.S. Just 37.4 percent disapproved of the potential acquisition, and 5.3 percent are undecided about the move.
President-elect Trump has in recent days floated the idea of acquiring Greenland, a Danish territory. He said owning Greenland is an “absolutely necessity.”
While the survey only polled 416 people in Greenland and is the first of its kind, it signals support for Trump’s larger international plans.
According to 538’s poll rankings, Patriot Polling only receives a 1 star rating out of three.
…
Observers have largely brushed aside the idea that the U.S. could realistically acquire Greenland; Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stressed that Greenland is not for sale as the acquisition conversation continued to flow from the president-elect.
Just kidding…

Please note that in Greenland, you do not own the site on which a home is built.
Citizens, private individuals, co-operative housing associations and companies can be granted the right of use to a site if, for example, they wish to build a house. You must apply for site allocation in order to obtain the right of use to the desired site.
You must apply for a site allocation if you wish to:
Build a house or other building
Buy a house – after the purchase, you must apply for site allocation
Build an extension to an existing house
Alter the use of a building, for example from shop to residence
Install piping for water and sewers
Set up a satellite dish on the property
Build a car park
Build a hut in open country
Lay up a boat or container
Applications for site allocation should be submitted to the municipality.
Though, the opportunity is there:
If you have just moved to Greenland as a new employee, you may be lucky enough to be allocated a staff residence through your employer. These staff residences are important for attracting employees, as the waiting time for a municipal rental property in Nuuk is between 10-12 years for a private individual.
Two days in a row? Ridiculous.
I don’t count!
Nobody will move Greenland if they go maga.
NJ republicans will never move to red controlled territories. Only exception is florida. But they hate Oklahoma, Mississippi, etc, etc
Greenland is only a 4 hour flight..
So, what are the real estate agent commission in Greenland? How long before we impose our 6%?
Greenland is only a 4 hour flight..
If we don’t take it, China or Russia will. As a side note, who on this board is crazy enough to plan a njrereport get-together in Greenland? If someone plans it, I’ll sign up.
Russia has 20 ice breakers. The U.S. has two.

Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters one option on the table is making a new tranche of disaster relief funding for the California wildfires conditional on agreeing to raise the debt ceiling.

“Climate change is real”
No kidding — the Watchung Mountains were once buried under 2000ft of ice!!! But what does that have to do with the fires that were started by the illegal aliens and homeless, drug-addled zombies that freely roam LA?

Yes, the world fawns over Greenland. Wake me up when MAGA tells the truth about something.
Yes, the world fawns over Greenland.
Only China and Russia fawn over it.
Pfffft Trump will run this Country into receivership
Trump would have been convicted if not elected.
Another chapter in the Maga can do no wrong chronicles.
At this point I’d surmise the DOJ by dragging their feet was/is complicit in Trump’s victory.
They wanted a mini-series. It backfired. Didn’t matter. Trump supporters would have elected him even if he was in the pen.

“the DOJ…was/is complicit in Trump’s victory”
No doubt. SlowJoe’s corrupt DoJ and the blatant lawfare that would’ve made the East German secret police proud, definitely pushed reasonable and rational voters to T. Only hysterical women and toxically-feminized, TDS-afflicted duds like you voted for Carmella. Have fun with Wacko Jacko’s meaningless report.
https://nypost.com/2025/01/14/us-news/california-bureaucrats-halted-pacific-palisades-fire-safety-project-to-save-endangered-shrub/
The goal of the project was to improve fire safety for the Pacific Palisades area by replacing the wooden poles with steel, widening fire-access lanes in the area, and installing wind- and fire-resistant power lines — all after the area was identified as having an “elevated fire risk,” according to the LA Times.
“This project will help ensure power reliability and safety, while helping reduce wildfire threats,” the LADWP said at the time. “These wooden poles were installed between 1933 and 1955 and are now past their useful service life.”
But, after an amateur botanist hiking through the park during the work saw the harm done to some of the park’s Braunton’s milkvetch — a flowering shrub with only a few thousand specimens remaining in the wild — and complained, the project was completely halted, Courthouse News Service reported.
Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, and as such, is a member of NATO. It is also home to a US air base.
I really don’t see why the US needs to “aquire” Greenland for natl security reasons.
Trump would have been convicted if not elected.
And my aunt would have been smoking a De Nobili cigar while mixing Portland cement if she had balls.
10:24 it’s only meaningless to you because you are too fucking stupid to read.

Mining and natural resources.
Potentially the 8th largest rare earths deposits.

Probably the only uncontested region in the top 10.
Control of the Arctic, buffer against Russia, Control access to shipping lanes, Grim’s point about natural resources, strategic position for surveillance as well as environmental monitoring.
Potentially the 8th largest rare earths deposits.
Still, why would we need to aquire Greenland to get access to those metals? Greenland, as part of Denmark, is a NATO allie.
Australia has several times the proven rare earths reserves of Greenland. We’re not worried about loosing access to those…
Control of the Arctic, buffer against Russia, Control access to shipping lanes, Grim’s point about natural resources, strategic position for surveillance as well as environmental monitoring.
But Greenland is already a member of NATO.
We could say the exact same thing about Canada. Iceland and Norway (all also NATO members); should we try to aquire those countries too?
Don’t you people watch Land Man? North-eastern Greenland (north and south of the Arctic Circle) could contain up to 110 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
I guess the contigency couldn’t convince the Danish to allow Trump a hotel.
What does this say?

12:22 it’s detailed and comprehensive timeline of a desperate piece of shit doing illegal stuff that we all saw him do in real time. An accurate and concise summary of how a nation fails.
11:55 –
No just Greenland
D-FENS, not enough reporting on how the endangered milkvetch plant is surviving the fires or not.
If Obama acquired Greenland they would have given him another Nobel prize and historians would have called him the next Thomas Jefferson.
Not that I approve of Trump’s approach to this, likely counterproductive.
12:37 oooof. That is too funny.
Some lady just screamed and yelled at Pete Hegseth. Boy, was she angry!
It’s funny. Trump, who claimed no wars started when he was POTUS is now threatening to start wars on two fronts. Factual, as always.
But MAGA can do no wrong.
Wars are only okay if Trump starts them I suppose. Can I join your cult now?
Wow, now another woman is yelling at Pete! In between the tirade, she seems to be asking questions but I’m pretty sure she’s not looking for information.
Can I join your cult now?
Only if you know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow.

If it’s wars you want then no doubt SlowJoe is your guy. Let’s see, I count:
Russia v Ukraine
Hamas/Iran v Israel
Hezbollah/Iran v Israel
Houthis/Iran v Israel (and international shipping)
Turkey v Syria
Yup, all brought to you by the weak, feckless Biden admin — and the billions of dollars of equipment they left behind in Afghanistan. You Dem stooges would be best served by keeping quiet for the next 4 years while T addresses the dumpster fire that your guy is leaving behind. Go get some counseling, you’ll feel better.
So on one hand Joe is slow and incapable of anything. On the other hand he is a strong man who can cause wars all over the world. Which one is it?
And breaking up all the Israel vs XYZ into separate wars, just to boost your irrational argument makes no sense.
You Dem stooges would be best served by keeping quiet for the next 4 years while Trump loots the Country……fixed it for you…..
Denmark will bend the knee and we will make Canada pay too. We will build a wall around the Panama Canal.
The Trump Doctrine aka Monroe Doctrine 2.0 is now here along with a new period of American Imperialism.
We will build a wall across the Darien Gap from Ocean to Ocean.
When do we invade Cuba?
Chi you are going to be interest in this…
This morning on Bloomberg surveillance ~7:30am+, they had guest talking about how Wall Street is salivating at bonuses this year as they expect very helpful and compliant supervision to their needs ans helpers of their great new idea and I predict circa 2027~2028 cause of financial crisis.
Private Credit is the bonus making word of ’25. Goldman is actually jealous that Apollo thought and acted on it first. Apollo gave a big loan to Intel. Previously this type of large loan to a reputable company would have been made by a regulated bank or syndicate of banks.
Apollo set up a trading desk. This desk will trade Intel and other Apollo made loans’ derivatives. Mind you they are not trading the loans themselves, but the Loan Backed Security Derivative Contracts tranches and Loan Backed Security Contracts Backed Collaterized Obligations tranches- 20 yrs ago they were trading the same idea based on mortgages. Remember Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) and Mortgage Backed Collaterized Debt Obligations (MBCDO) same thing, different name for the turd.
Big boys like GS, KKR, Apollo doing this to well known publicly listed company sound decent, but you know that soon enough there is going to be some bank making and selling LBS/LBSCDO tranches on Fort Lee Massage parlors loans.
Russia v Ukraine
Hamas/Iran v Israel
Hezbollah/Iran v Israel
Houthis/Iran v Israel (and international shipping)
Turkey v Syria
Vs.
US v Greenland
US v Panama
Can anyone spot the difference between these groups?
It doesn’t matter though. MAGA can do no wrong.

Starbucks reversing free bathroom use. You’ll now need to purchase something. If you gotta go, then you gotta go… literally and figuratively. lol. Another symbolic gesture is canned. Lol!!

Gary,
I think even much of the Left agreed that the pendulum swung to far. The problem is, that now it’s going to swing to far Right. As long as the two leading parties are at ends with each other, there will never be a middle, which is honestly what America wants.
I think the DEMS are a joke right now, but Biden did some very good things for the middle class. Trump on the other hand is the poster child for F’ing thing up big time.
I have zero confidence is his management, judgement, or termperment.
“temperment” ahem….
damn!! tem·per·a·ment

“Turkey v Syria”
An idiot can write this up. There are 5+ million syrian immigrants in Turkey now and they never fought with Assad regime. They systematically attacked YPG whereever they are. Whoever wrote this is only doing pushups in 5 sets and has no expertise in foreign affairs.
No-war Trump will be seen as the ultimate instigator. I wonder he initiates draft based on immigration immunity or with a enticing tax break for the poor.
