Hi Mark,
I trust your health has improved significantly enough for you to attend the Davos Gab Fest. I know this is one event you are loathe to miss.
Were you among those yesterday that gave tri-citizen Carney a standing ovation?
Switching to Greenland, I can't understand Trump's obsession with having the US own that wasteland. As you like to say, "America doesn't have an imperialist bone in his body." The reason is we are terrible at it. Puerto Rico and the Philippines are prime examples. Even Guam is in danger of flipping over due to military build up. Thank you Congressman Johnson for alerting us to this imminent danger. Greenland will be more of the same. Do we really need to add 55,000 Intuits to the public dole? Or is the plan to bring them to Minneapolis to replace the deported Somalians?

Dear Mark,
Is Davos the new Kardashians? Both are shows about billionaires feigning shock when a returning character flounces in to deliver some 'uncomfortable home truths' at lunch with the TV crew.
I'm waiting for the shock return of Klaus in a few seasons time when he walks onto stage as a fourth industrial age techno-tranny with big red lips, a Marylyn wig and howitzers sticking out of his nipples, declaring he's back for more cabinet penetration.
Lutnick's 'stop it you naughty globalists!' routine gives an entertaining, socially awkward, Reality TV, 'OMG...did he really say that?' moment, but it would go down better if the ones who really believed it just quit the show.
I'm off to watch 'The Traitors' on the BBC parliament channel.
Blessings

Mark, I pray you are doing well and will continue sharing your perceptive thoughts.
Is the Donald making true enemies in Davos (and the past year), or is this just western leaders pitching a fit? Is this a case of "needing to break a few eggs to make an omelet", or is Trump actually upsetting the apple cart?
I just heard Trump announce they are negotiating Greenland's future and the tariffs are put on hold. Maybe this is all Don playing 3D chess while the rest of us play checkers.

As a monarch-phile, may I presume you're fine with the robust international actions of King Donald?
From renaming the Gulf of Mexico, to brokering Middle East, African and SouthEast Asian peace accords, to vaporizing Iranian nukes, to deposing Western rivals, to unilaterally imposing tariffs against even our closest allies, the "No Kings" protestors may have undersold the Mara Lago Monarch. Henry the Eighth would blush at his brashness!
Do you see Trump's FAFO approach to foreign relations as unhinged or exactly what a wayward West needs to course correct?

Mark,
The entire post war era system that has been built on a mutual willingness by everyone in the world to hold each others debt seems to be coming to an end. I am starting to think, that part of what appears to the rest of the world to be Trump's erratic behavior, is his desire to pull the plug on the whole fakery sooner than later and to try and leave America in the best position possible when it all crumbles.
Greenland seems to be a strategic military choice, the tariffs call the Fake money stuff faster than anything else does, alliances with cutesy acronyms aren't being funded on the backs of America again, etc. and all of those are in the interest of America off the global order comes to collapse. It's pretty bold maneuvering when you're the biggest debt holder in the room, but maybe he understands that empire's succeed by force not money.
What do you think? Is he moving to end the busted system and positioning America to be an un-closeted empire?

My belief is that remigration is essentially, albeit not exclusively, the wholesale deportation of Islam, which is utterly incompatible with the developed world.
I'm opposed to remigration based on melanin content alone.
What is your position on this please?
Keep well Mark.

Greetings from an obscure observer in North Texas, USA, where the seeds of Obama immigration policy have steadily grown to a Southwest-Asian bloom. English as the third language?
It's true in some neighborhoods here in 2026. I am desperately behind on my education in Spanish since moving to Texas, but I don't even know what Asian language I need to learn to communicate with many of my neighbors. The former First Baptist Church in our city is now a large, 40,000 square foot Islamic Center. If I dropped by, maybe they'd educate an gray-haired old white guy.
My Question: Is Trump hated more by the left for putting America, and her security, first by getting control of Minnesota and Greenland, (along with the Panama Canal, and Diego Garcia) or the mean-tweeting?

Hello Mark,
The DOJ has issued subpoenas to Walz, Ellison, Frey in Minnesota in probe alleging obstruction of immigration enforcement. Please excuse my yawn over another investigation.
Willie Sutton when asked why he robbed banks, he replied "because that's where the money is."
Throughout our history some immigrants turned to crime, organized and otherwise. No vast government social welfare spending was available to loot, so their ill-gotten gains were largely extracted from the private sector.
Fast forward to the fraud in Minnesota and elsewhere. These crimes have extracted huge sums from welfare state spending, at levels unthinkable to criminals of the past. Indeed today, that's where the money is.
Previously, politicians and policemen were on criminals' payrolls mostly to look the other way. Now many in our political class appear to be active participants in the fraud whether for personal gain and/or to launder money for party coffers. Where might Governor Walz and Mayor Fry fit in?

Carney took his deflated ball and skittered back to Ottawa from his trips to China and then Davos. He got his orders from his real bosses and was no longer needed for when the big boys get together and discuss the important topics of the day. So proud to be a Canadian these days! We're no longer an independent country. We're China's bitch. Sorry for being blunt. Sometimes the truth needs to be told in plain words.

Given the statements by various Democrat officials regarding expanding the Supreme Court and the prosecution of ICE members for doing their job, and of course all of Trump's administration, some commentators, Auron MacIntyre to name one, have concluded that the left can never be allowed to take power again.
What's your take on this?

Hi Mark,
Enjoying the saga of Amelia the purple haired, patriotic, AI generated version of Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Someone's flipped the script on Prevent, the UK anti-terrorism office. It's apparently gone "viral" in all the right ways.
Imagine my surprise when this was covered by Alex Armstrong on GB News. Has Flopadopolis stiffened his resolve? If Eva is "not conducive to the public good" how does Amelia escape the eye of Sauron? They've jailed Lucy Connolly for less.
Hope you're super stable and staying out of trouble wherever you chance to be on this turbulent Earth.

Dear Mark:
I very recently viewed a video (not sure if it was live action or AI generated) with a character called Amelia. She's a very attractive, lavender haired woman who, in various scenes, is criticizing the British government for its immigration policies, among other things. She is proud to wave the Union Jack and stands for traditional British values.
From what I understand, Amelia, in animated form, was previously used by the government to stifle right wing extremism and anti-immigrant sentiment. I'm wondering if you are familiar with this video and, if so, what you think about it.
Take good care of yourself.
Sincerely,
