In addition to Iran, there is about to be an illegal invasion of Greenland.

A Trump backed oil company has been ignoring Greenland military directives, and has been illegally drilling and sampling inside of Greenland.

My guess is Trump hope Greenland take action against them, so that he can escalate.... Crazy times....

People on here used to make fun of me, and say "Trump won't actually invade," well technically he already did and is preparing to escalate....
So Greenland, soon Cuba, maybe he does want all of North America? He certainly has made public statements implying he think America should own both Canada and Mexico...

He made history.

Breaking News: Kalshi barred the former congressman George Santos for insider trading. It’s the prediction market’s first permanent ban. https://nyti.ms/4qJCfx0

So the fat oaf is sitting on $400M of PAC money and he won't kick any of it free to help his fellow republicans in the upcoming mid-terms.

Why not?

There is speculation he plans to keep it.

The Wall Street Journal
·
Thousands of drivers have filed complaints with U.S. auto-safety regulators describing jarring incidents in which their sunroof unexpectedly exploded or shattered, often while they were driving.

The number of complaints has soared recently and is set to hit a record in 2026, with nearly 500 reported so far this year.

A Kia minivan’s sunroof spontaneously exploded on a Wisconsin highway. A GMC sport-utility vehicle’s moonroof fell onto seats where children ride. A Mercedes-Benz owner heard a “gunshot” sound—a frequent descriptor of these events, according to federal reports—before their car’s glass ruptured.

The sunroof failure reports target all major automakers, including 17 different manufacturers and more than 200 models over the past three years, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis.

Roughly one-in-five complaints lodged in that time involved 2025 or 2026 model year vehicles, the analysis showed. Such failures happen roughly once a day.

Prevention Best Practices [for sunroofs per googlebot]

Keep the sunshade open when parked in high heat: Leave the interior shade open on hot days so heat does not get trapped between the glass and a closed shade, which builds intense thermal pressure. [1] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlSewD-mBw8&t=131)

Park in shaded areas: Use a garage or park under shade to protect the glass from extreme temperature spikes and small falling debris that can cause micro-chips. [1] (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1359322150757032/posts/27861307130131840/), [2] (https://oakville.autoglasszone.ca/what-causes-a-sunroof-to-explode/)

Vent the cabin: Leave the sunroof slightly vented on hot days to help equalize interior and exterior air pressure. [1] (https://oakville.autoglasszone.ca/what-causes-a-sunroof-to-explode/), [2] (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1359322150757032/posts/27861307130131840/)Repair chips immediately:

Fix small cracks or chips on the sunroof glass quickly before road vibrations and temperature changes cause them to spread. [1] (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1359322150757032/posts/27861307130131840/), [2] (https://oakville.autoglasszone.ca/what-causes-a-sunroof-to-explode/)

The one I had on my Honda Prelude never shattered in the Texas heat for the many years I had it. Never did anything special for it.

I spoke with a guy whose only business was the installation and repair of sun roofs: his advice to prevent problems was to "never open it."

Very sound advice, advice which I have followed to this day.

Saw a statement by some 911 families that Mayor Mamdani should not be there for ceremonies.

Easy answer. While I often hate when Trump shows up for official events because of some crap he often says, I do believe things like that are part of the responsibility of those jobs.

If New Yokers didn't want him to show up at the 9-11 events, they shouldn't have elected him Mayor. Those religious bigots can all go f**k themselves royally.
