Why Greenland Prefers Denmark January 17, 2026 Denmark has more billionaires per capita; Denmark ranks way ahead in ease of starting a business; and . . . wow. Two minutes worth watching (“unmute” top right corner). Former Republican Rick Wilson: I’ll stop calling ICE the Gestapo when ICE stops running the Nazi playbook against American citizens. Just like Indivisible, he calls on Senate Democrats to use their “shut-down” leverage to rein in ICE now. Call your senators and urge them to draw that line in the sand. Maureen Dowd: There’s a great scene in “Lawrence of Arabia” when Peter O’Toole’s Lawrence comes back from battle and meets with Gen. Edmund Allenby, his British superior in Cairo. The bookish Lawrence tells Allenby he executed an Arab ally with his pistol and, “There was something about it I didn’t like.” Allenby reassures him that his distaste is to be expected. “No, something else,” Lawrence explains. “I enjoyed it.” Trump and his Proud Boys are having fun! It’s exciting! Imperialism is ever so much easier than affordability. Niceties be damned: As the daughter of a cop, I am sympathetic to the split-second life-and-death decisions the police have to make. But Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who shot and shot and shot Renee Good as she was trying to drive away, tragically overreacted — then called her a “fucking bitch.” He could have stepped aside and caught up with her later, since he had her license plate. Worth reading in full. WEEK-END FUN Five very enjoyable, informative minutes. EPSTEIN! Q: Where are the files?! Why is Trump protecting pedophiles?! A: ?
