I was very happy to talk to CNN today. (Twice actually). Any American media that wants to understand Dano-Greenlandic relations or need an elobaration of why Denmark will never sell Greenland are welcome to call me.

Every generation has embodied the struggle between those who love the possibilities of freedom and will do anything to protect it, versus those who find such freedom inconvenient to their financial and/or ideological purposes and will do anything to block it. /4

As Ukraine keeps defending itself, they are to blame for any civilian aircraft we shoot down during our invasion.

I think that between what Spotify has done to music as a full-time job, what streamers did to Hollywood, and what smartphones in general have done to reading, you can argue that the tech economy is basically destructive to American culture.

As expected, Dems are already learning the wrong lessons from their defeat. #Election2024
Dems should resist any group or special interest that pressures them to take positions opposed by the electoral majority essential to win, whether that’s big corporations, rich donors, nonprofits, whoever. This isn’t about blaming specific groups for defeat - it’s about what’s required to win.

The number of people who backstab and disavow friends, family, and coworkers over any slight diff in political opinion is sad. Especially when that certainty is based on such thin understanding of the world. Life is complex, assumptions are often incorrect. It's not worth it.

Elon drags out the discredited Jeffrey Sachs, who shamelessly blames the U.S. for the war in Ukraine Jeff’s every claim is wrong, but what truly pisses me off is his sheer delusional arrogance that it is Washington that handpicks Ukraine’s leaders Yet, he has to be refuted 1/

Replying to @hagaetc
Norway’s unrealized gains tax exposes the deep flaws in a system where entrepreneurship is both encouraged and punished simultaneously. Expecting founders to pay taxes on "wealth" that only exists on paper is not just impractical; it's a direct attack on innovation and risk-taking. No wonder people like you are leaving for countries like Switzerland, where governments understand the value of fostering business growth over penalizing it. But here's the controversial truth: this isn’t just about taxes. It’s about an ideological war where socialist policies prioritize wealth redistribution over wealth creation. Politicians are so focused on "fairness" that they’re willing to sabotage the very engines of economic progress. They demonize success, slap innovators with unsustainable tax burdens, and then act surprised when their talent pool packs up and leaves. Norway's "wall of shame" for entrepreneurs is a disgraceful example of this backward mentality—vilifying those who create jobs and drive the economy instead of addressing the real inefficiencies in public spending. This isn’t just a Norwegian problem either. It’s a warning for other countries leaning into extreme redistribution policies. When you punish success, you don’t build equity; you destroy opportunity for everyone. And let’s not forget, when entrepreneurs leave, it’s not just their companies that go—it’s innovation, jobs, and global competitiveness. Norway risks becoming a cautionary tale of how misplaced ideological priorities can ruin even the most prosperous nations.

The DNC Chair hasn't resigned, Schumer will remain leader of the Senate Dems, consultants are still getting their bag. Is there any incentive to win?

True, but this is what you get when you mislead the public in the name of science on covid origins, vaccines preventing transmission, side effects and more. You open the door to wrong scepticism as well as right.
Against unimaginably stiff competition, this is the worst appointment of the lot. People will die if the dangerous nonsense espoused by this crank anti-vaxxer becomes public policy. Donald Trump picks Robert Kennedy Jr to run US health department via @FT on.ft.com/40IBSIj

Sadly, Ukraine is learning what many other states and peoples have learned over the previous decades. The United States is not a reliable partner/ally and almost never lives up to its rhetoric. Its foreign policy practitioners are a study in failure.
