U.S. now has permanent control over Greenland Security

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a deal with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark

This will allow a larger U.S. military presence in the key Arctic territory

Trump participated in a signing ceremony on the morning of Sept. 22 alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen at the U.N. General Assembly in New York City.

“This HISTORIC deal is critical for American national security and defense in the Arctic Region,” the White House wrote in a statement on X.

During his address to the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 22, Trump announced that the United States will build two major military bases in Greenland.

“No U.S. adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland anymore, or make sensitive investments there without our express written approval,” Trump said. “We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate locations.”

Polygraph Tests at Pentagon - National Security Leak Investigation

Senior military officials subjected to polygraph tests in Pentagon leaks investigation

Dozens of top U.S. military leaders faced polygraph examinations this summer as the Pentagon intensified its hunt for those behind leaks of classified information on American weapons reserves, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from some officials caught in the probe.

Earlier this summer, several dozen U.S. military and civilian officials, including personnel from U.S. Central Command and other combatant commands, were ordered to take polygraph tests as part of an expanding national security leak investigation.

The Pentagon’s extraordinary step targeted those with access to some of the nation’s most sensitive defense secrets, as officials sought to identify the source of leaks about U.S. weapons stockpiles and other classified matters. The push followed mounting frustration at the highest levels, three sources told CBS News that President Donald Trump was furious about the leaks and demanded aggressive action.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has made combating leaks a public priority, announced in July that the Pentagon and Justice Department had formed a joint task force to identify and prosecute those suspected of leaking classified government information to the media.

Hegseth also granted the Pentagon’s Office of General Counsel broad authority to demand records and cooperation from military officials for leak probes, and Pentagon personnel were instructed to respond to such requests within two days. These moves signaled a dramatic escalation in the federal government’s approach to internal security, raising the pressure on senior leaders across the Defense Department.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell underscored the seriousness of the effort, stating: “The Department does not comment on internal personnel or investigative matters but takes all leaks of classified national security information extremely seriously and investigates accordingly. Securing classified information is critical to ensuring the security of the United States and of our troops deployed around the world.”

Celebrated under Biden, now a National Security Threat

Under Trump, now on the Terror Watchlist and barred from the U.S.

Biden administration honored Iraqi finance minister later placed on U.S. terror watchlist and stripped of visa

The Biden administration once celebrated former Iraqi Finance Minister Taif Sami Mohammed as a champion of anti-corruption, but she has now been placed on the U.S. terror watchlist and barred from the country, a reversal critics say exposes dangerous lapses in White House vetting.

Taif Sami Mohammed Al Shakarchi, once hailed by American leaders as a “frontline leader against corrupt practices,” is now at the center of a national security controversy after the State Department revoked her U.S. visa and placed her on the government’s terror watchlist.

Just two years ago, she was honored at the State Department’s International Women of Courage ceremony, where both Jill Biden and Antony Blinken praised her as a model reformer in Iraq.

The State Department confirmed that Mohammed’s visa was revoked “this week,” though it did not release the specific date or publicly detail the evidence behind the watchlist designation.

In a sharply worded statement, Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson contrasted the Biden administration’s approach with that of its predecessor, saying, “While the Biden State Department shamefully celebrated and awarded foreigners who threaten our nation, the Trump State Department revokes their visas and ensures these individuals are removed from our country.”

This stunning about-face marks a rare instance where an individual celebrated by top U.S. officials, including the first lady and the secretary of state, was later classified as a national security threat. Breitbart News reported that the 2022 award cited Mohammed’s “purported role in fighting corruption and her advocacy for gender equity.”

U.S. falling behind in National Security

Secret Service not so secret?

Anthony Guglielmi

'Do not admit': 3 U.S. Secret Service officials, including top spokesman, escorted out and stripped of security clearances

'The Secret Service is a disaster, the entire culture is rotten, and the fact that people like Guglielmi are still there is proof'

Sean Davis, CEO at the Federalist, wondered: "Why on earth did it take more than two years before corrupt Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi was suspended, let alone fired?

"He is a complete liar and fabulist who repeatedly lied about the Butler assassination attempt and the Biden administration's refusal to provide Trump with adequate security. The Secret Service is a disaster, the entire culture is rotten, and the fact that people like Guglielmi are still there is proof."

Jim Hoft at the Gateway Pundit noted: "If classified details about an emergency operation to protect the president were deliberately handed to reporters, that would represent a breathtaking betrayal of national security and potentially place President Trump, Secret Service agents, military personnel and innocent passengers in grave danger.

"The American people deserve to know who leaked this information, what was disclosed and whether anyone inside the federal government compromised the safety of the president for political or personal reasons."

Just last month, as WorldNetDaily reported, one of the Secret Service agents assigned to security for Vice President JD Vance was taken off the assignment amid suspicions he had leaked details of the Vance calendar to the left-leaning MS Now.

Democrats want to stop Data Center Construction - China First, says Fetterman

Fetterman breaks with his party on AI, warns U.S. retreat hands China the advantage

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman sided with President Trump on aggressive AI development over the weekend, rejecting calls from fellow Democrats to slow down, and warning that every delay benefits Beijing.

Fetterman posted on X on Saturday, sharing a Bloomberg analysis that examined the narrowing U.S. lead over China in artificial intelligence and the faster pace at which Chinese companies are deploying advanced models. His message was blunt: stop panicking about data centers and start competing. Fox News Digital reported that the Democrat dismissed what he called "AI doomsdaying" and accused critics of playing into China's hands.

The senator framed the stakes in national-security terms:

"AI supremacy and energy dominance underpins our national security. China continues to fuel and benefit from our overreaction. I reject the political pandering and hyperbole over data centers or AI doomsdaying."

That puts Fetterman squarely on the same side as the White House, and miles from the progressive wing of his own party, which wants to freeze data center construction altogether. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez want a moratorium; Fetterman calls it "China First"

The split inside the Democratic caucus is not new, but it is widening. On March 25, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stood at the U.S. Capitol to announce the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act, a proposal to halt new facility construction across the country. Fetterman responded by labeling the moratorium push "China First", a deliberate inversion of the progressive framing.

Earlier this month, when reports surfaced that Sanders was eyeing a broader pause on AI development itself, Fetterman fired back again on X:

"America must lead in the development of AI, otherwise we live under China's rules. That must not happen."

Pulte Walks In Early and Starts Counting Heads

Acting Director of National Intelligence

On his first day as acting DNI, Pulte moves to cut staff, putting roughly 300 jobs in jeopardy

Bill Pulte, 38, did not waste any time settling into the acting director of national intelligence job.

According to reports, he showed up a day early, asked for a full employee list, and began reviewing who might be shown the door. That is one way to send a message on day one, and it is not exactly subtle. The plan centers on sharp staffing cuts inside the intelligence bureaucracy, with Pulte moving quickly after President Trump tapped him to hold the post while the permanent nomination process remains tied up.

About 300 Jobs Could Be on the Chopping Block

Politico reported that Pulte directed ODNI staff to assemble a list of about 300 people who could be fired from the National Counterterrorism Center in the coming weeks. The NCTC has more than 1,000 personnel drawn from the intelligence community, federal agencies, and contractors, so these cuts would be significant.

Supporters of the move say the national security bureaucracy has grown too fat and too slow. Critics, of course, will clutch their pearls and act shocked that a Republican administration might actually try shrinking Washington instead of feeding it another taxpayer meal.

Finalizing a Broader Peace with Iran

Trump says Iran is preparing a proposal as nuclear talks and Strait of Hormuz tensions grind on

President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran is preparing an offer designed to meet American demands, signaling a potential opening in negotiations that have been stalled by disputes over uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and Tehran's naval posture in the Strait of Hormuz.

"They're making an offer and we'll have to see," Trump told Reuters in a phone interview.

The remark was brief but deliberate. It came after weeks of heightened tensions, U.S. military positioning in the region, Iranian accusations of economic warfare tied to shipping restrictions and sanctions enforcement, and a diplomatic back-and-forth over what any deal would actually require from Tehran.

The White House appears to see a window. Whether Iran walks through it on terms that protect American security interests is the question that matters.

The U.S. position has been consistent and firm. Washington has pressed Iran to halt high-level uranium enrichment, ship out or dilute its stockpile of enriched nuclear material, and accept stricter international inspections. U.S. officials have framed these demands as necessary to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.

Lt. General Michael Flynn settles with Dept.of Justice over malicious prosecution

Justice Department settles with Michael Flynn, pays $1.2 million over Russia probe prosecution

The Department of Justice reached a settlement Wednesday with retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, agreeing to pay the former national security advisor approximately $1.2 million to resolve a lawsuit in which he alleged wrongful and malicious prosecution during the Russia investigation.

The DOJ called the deal an "important step in redressing" what it described as a "historic injustice."

A notice of settlement was filed in the Middle District of Florida. Official court papers reviewed by Fox News Digital do not disclose the financial terms, but the Associated Press reported the government will pay Flynn roughly $1.2 million. The case will be dismissed with prejudice (Dismissed with prejudice" means a lawsuit or criminal charge is permanently terminated by a court, acting as a final judgment on the merits) once Flynn confirms receipt of the funds.

Each party will bear its own legal costs. The court will not retain jurisdiction over the agreement.

That $1.2 million is a fraction of the $50 million Flynn sought when he filed suit in 2023. But the settlement's real weight lies elsewhere, in the federal government's implicit acknowledgment that the prosecution of a three-star general and decorated combat veteran was, at minimum, something that needed to be made right with money.

Prior to this settlement, court records from 2019 showed that Flynn had incurred over $4.6 million in legal fees relating to his criminal investigation and lobbying inquiries, with some of that amount being unpaid.

I think the government should have paid all of his legal fees.

Greenland a National Security Priority

Strategic Value in acquiring Greenland

Not only for the United States but the world

At the Economic Forum, Trump emphasized that point bluntly, describing Greenland as “a large piece of ice in the middle of the ocean,” but warning of its strategic value “if there is a war” with Russia or China.

“Much of the action will take place on that piece of the ice. Think of it, those missiles would be flying right over the center of that piece of ice. That’s all we want from Denmark. For national and international security, and to keep our very energetic and dangerous potential enemies at bay, is this land on which we’re going to build the greatest golden dome ever built,” Trump said.

Trump also criticized Denmark for what he described as a lack of meaningful presence and investment in Greenland’s defense—remarks that align with longstanding Republican calls for NATO burden-sharing and for European allies to meet their commitments rather than relying on American taxpayers.

Moments earlier, Trump said the U.S. is uniquely capable of defending and developing the territory.

“It’s the US alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it,” he said, adding there was “no sign” of Denmark on the island and accusing Copenhagen of underspending on defense.

Russia China Arctic Threat: Denmark Intelligence Proves Trump Right

Denmark scrambled to dismiss Trump's warnings about Russian and Chinese threats around Greenland. Top Danish officials called Trump's concerns "delusional."

But Denmark's own spy agency just exposed that lie.

Denmark's spy agency confirmed in a recent assessment that Russian and Chinese forces are expanding operations in the Arctic — exactly what Trump's been saying all along.

Denmark has zero capability to stop Russian submarines or Chinese research vessels prowling Greenland's waters.

A 1951 treaty already gives America permanent jurisdiction over defense areas in Greenland including Thule.

But Trump knows treaties aren't enough when adversaries are positioning for control.

Trump revealed Wednesday that Greenland sits at the heart of America's most ambitious defense project. The Golden Dome is a $175 billion missile defense system inspired by Israel's Iron Dome but vastly larger in scale.

Announced in May 2025, the system uses ground-based radar, space-based sensors, and missile interceptors to shield America from ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and hypersonic threats.

Greenland's strategic location makes it irreplaceable for the Golden Dome architecture. Without Greenland, the Golden Dome can't protect the American homeland from threats coming over the North Pole. Russia would launch missiles at America over Greenland airspace.

Why Greenland is so important

Interior Sec. Doug Burgum — Greenland and Venezuela Are Strategic Priorities for Defense and Energy

In an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum made the case for Greenland’s strategic value to American national security and Venezuela’s potential to re-anchor U.S. energy dominance in the Western Hemisphere, casting both regions as crucial to President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and economic agenda.

Burgum likened the acquisition of Greenland to historic U.S. territorial expansions. “President Trump understands that the same way that Thomas Jefferson understood the Louisiana Purchase was going to change the course of our country,” Burgum said, drawing another direct parallel to Seward’s purchase of Alaska, which he described as “a resource that is for us today.”

While Greenland remains a self-governing territory of Denmark, Burgum questioned the intensity of Danish attachment to the island, noting, “I’m guessing that the vast majority of people in Denmark have never been to Greenland and have no plans to go.” He suggested that Danish reluctance might be tied to “a holdover of colonial pride.”

The United States "accepted the legal obligation to defend against any attack" on Greenland in a 1951 treaty with Denmark. It has had bases there since the Second World War. It costs us multi-millions a year defending Greenland and ultimately the United States.

Greenland is the center of U.S. defenses against Russian and/or Chinese nuclear missile attacks. At Pituffik Space Base they have a runway, a seaport and a lot of radar and gigantic satellite dishes.

U.S. Space Force Guardians operate the early-warning radar system to spot intercontinental ballistic missile threats and sea-launched missiles coming out of Russia, China or anywhere else.

The squadrons also provide tracking and command and control for U.S. satellites and all other objects up in space, such as China’s 1,300 satellites. America would be blind without this surveillance.

The action affects five large offshore wind projects under construction and builds on a broader Trump administration review of federal wind policy.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a Dec. 22 social media post that the five paused projects were “expensive, unreliable, heavily subsidized.”

“ONE natural gas pipeline supplies as much energy as these 5 projects COMBINED,” he wrote, noting that President Donald Trump “is bringing common sense back to energy policy & putting security FIRST!”

Special Envoy to Greenland appointed

Trump appoints Jeff Landry as special envoy to Greenland

President Trump announced Sunday evening he was appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as special envoy to Greenland — drawing warnings from the Danish government over continued US interest in annexing the world’s largest island.

“Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country’s Interests for the Safety, Security and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World,” Trump announced in appointing Landry.

Landry responded: “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the US.”

Landry, 54, added that he would remain as governor in addition to his new role. The former congressman and state attorney general was elected the Pelican State’s chief executive in 2023.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said in a brief statement that Landry’s appointment “confirms the continued American interest in Greenland.”

White House delivers exclusive statement defending expanded travel ban

White House Just Dropped the Hammer on Critics of Trump’s Travel Restrictions

Democrats have been screaming about Trump's travel restrictions since he announced them. But then they scream about everything.

The White House decided it was time to set the record straight.

President Trump expanded travel restrictions to 20 additional countries last week, and the White House isn't apologizing to anyone.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson provided an exclusive statement to Breitbart News that cut through the leftist hysteria like a knife.

"President Trump's top priority will always be the safety and security of the American people," Jackson declared. "This is just another way that the President is working to keep dangerous aliens out of our country who seek to exploit or harm American citizens."

"The Trump Administration will always choose America First," she added. [PatriotPulse.net]

Fentanyl is now a WMD

Trump Designates Fentanyl as Weapon of Mass Destruction

President Donald Trump signed an executive order marking fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction on Monday, escalating his war against drug trafficking during his second administration.

The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue criminal charges, sentencing enhancements, and sentencing variances in fentanyl trafficking cases, according to a White House fact sheet. It also directs Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent to take actions against financial institutions involved in manufacturing or distributing the illegal sale of fentanyl.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth will work with Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to provide enhanced national security resources and update their chemical incident response to include the fentanyl threat.

Trump’s New National Security Strategy

The strategy outlines a more selective American role abroad, elevating domestic resilience and regional dominance over decades of expansive global commitments

Key Takeaways--Here are five major takeaways from the strategy and how they redefine America’s global posture—reshaping U.S. priorities in Europe, China and the Indo-Pacific, Ukraine, the Middle East, and the wider Western Hemisphere:

1.  It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state,” the document states.

2.  The United States must be preeminent in the Western Hemisphere as a condition of our security and prosperity—a condition that allows us to assert ourselves confidently where and when we need to in the region,” the strategy states, arguing that U.S. strength at home and abroad depends on securing the hemisphere first.

3.  The document argues that decades of large-scale interventions and state-building efforts delivered little lasting stability and often diverted U.S. resources from higher-priority regions. Going forward, Washington’s approach is defined by a narrower set of objectives: protecting vital waterways, defending key partners, containing terrorism, and preventing adversaries from establishing footholds that threaten global energy security or U.S. interests.

4.  The strategy states that the United States will continue supporting NATO allies, but primarily as a strategic coordinator rather than the continent’s default security guarantor. Instead of relying on U.S. troops and funding, Europe is expected to rebuild its defense capacity, stiffen its borders, and stabilize its politics.

5.  China remains the United States’ chief long-term competitor, it frames the contest as primarily economic rather than military. The document emphasizes restoring supply-chain sovereignty, securing critical technologies, controlling mineral flows, and rebuilding domestic industrial capacity through tariffs and reshoring incentives.

One GM Sale to China Just Destroyed America’s Biggest Defense Advantage

In 1995, when Bill Clinton was President, General Motors sold its rare earth magnet subsidiary Magnequench to the Sextant Group, an investment firm led by Archibald Cox Jr..

The group, however, was a front for two Chinese state-owned companies: the China National Non-Ferrous Metals Import and Export Corporation and San Huan New Material.

• The deal: The sale to the Sextant Group included the Chinese firms, giving them a majority stake in Magnequench.
• The front: Cox, as the CEO of Sextant, presented the acquisition as being by an American investment group.
• The owners: The Chinese firms had close ties to the Chinese government, with their heads being in-laws of former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping.
• Consequences: Following the sale, Magnequench began shutting down its U.S. plants and moving production to China, a move that raised national security concerns.

John Bolton's Indictment

Ty Cobb defends Bolton prosecution as legally sound

John Bolton’s indictment isn’t just a political witch hunt, despite what he claims. Former White House attorney Ty Cobb insists the case against the ex-national security adviser has a solid legal footing, rooted in serious allegations of mishandling sensitive national defense information.

The Hill reported that federal prosecutors charged Bolton with 18 counts tied to retaining and transmitting classified information after his 2019 exit from the Trump administration. The Justice Department alleges he kept sensitive materials at his home and sent over a thousand pages of “diary-like entries” to two relatives.

The Biden administration previously passed on prosecuting Bolton, likely to protect intelligence-gathering methods related to Iran, according to Cobb.

Cobb, however, sees a clear distinction between Bolton’s case and recent indictments of figures like James Comey and Letitia James. While those cases stirred their own controversies, Bolton’s involves specific allegations of mishandling sensitive documents.

The legal merits, not just Trump’s grudges, drive this prosecution, Cobb insists.

John Bolton and "The Room Where It Happened"

Trump, Bolton, and the FBI Raid Details the Media Isn’t Telling You

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal.

Last week, the FBI—under the aegis of the Department of Justice—raided John Bolton, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump during his first term. And they raided his home and his house. And they took away documents, which allegedly, the target of the raid were these documents.

Bolton was not arrested. He was not indicted. There was no effort aimed at him personally. But the accusation, apparently, was that he had removed classified documents.

Almost immediately, the Left and the “Never Trump” Right, said, “See, we told you Donald Trump is on a revenge tour. First it was John Brennan, and then James Clapper, then James Comey. He’ll go after Anthony Fauci. Anybody that doesn’t have a pardon is fair game.”

But there’s more to the story than that. In 2019, when Trump fired John Bolton as national security adviser, he was writing a book. And he sold that book on the premise that he had been in the room. The title was, essentially, “This happened in the room” or “What happened in the room.” And he took prodigious notes.

The book was almost out. A federal judge, Royce Lamberth, looked at it and he thought—he basically said, “Well, I can’t really stop the book. It’s gonna be released in a few days.”

But in kind of a rare excursus, he said, “John Bolton, you’re doing something wrong. You are violating, likely, national security laws. And if you don’t stop, you’ll be subject, at some point, to criminal prosecution.” And then he let it rest.
