Acquiring Greenland
Fifteen Greenlandless Greenlanders feasted on fish and caribou at Donald Trump Jr.’s special luncheon at the Hotel Hans Egede in Nuuk, Greenland, one cold day in early January around lunchtime, one has to suppose.

Return of the Swashbucklers

To have the man once again in his power so intensely delighted the Russian potentate that he did not trust himself to be near him, to pronounce his name, even to know who he was. Wisely, Vladimir Putin outsourced his cherished prisoner. Continue reading
