@Steve-Miller said in So about Greenland: @Daniel It’s not in the interest of the US at all. It’s all about the interest of one guy, and that guy appears to be Robert Lauder. There may be a couple of other guys as well.

Udder Bull****? It is a common practice to tie burlap bags to a cable and secure it high on a pole and to the ground. The bags are soaked with and insect repellent. The cows use it to scratch what itches. The insect repellent helps keeps the flies away.

That is great. Dysarthria hit an uncle. He went from an intelligent man to a sick and troubled man overnight.

@Mik said in The bluebirds of happiness: We know they are around, but only see them once a year or less, usually in very cold weather. I've never seen one in real life.

He has well and truly gone off the deep end. U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines and champagne after French President Emmanuel Macron was reported to be unwilling to join his “Board of Peace” on Gaza. When asked for a response by a reporter in Miami about Macron’s stance, Trump dismissed the French leader’s influence and said he would use trade penalties as leverage. “Well, nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon,” Trump said. “So you know, that’s all right. What I’ll do is, if they feel like [being] hostile, I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he’ll join. But he doesn’t have to join.” https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/20/trump-threatens-200percent-tariff-on-french-wines-and-champagnes-.html
