The Ice-Cold Truth About Greenland: Why America Needs What Denmark Can’t Protect
Denmark cannot defend Greenland’s 2.16 million square kilometers with 25 warships while China and Russia circle the Arctic. The $100,000 offer insults Greenlanders; $250,000 per person transforms lives for $14.25 billion—less than 2% of annual U.S. defense spending. America secures the free world. This is the bargain of the century.

History reveals no purely good or evil humans—only flawed beings capable of both light and darkness.

So You Think You’re Empathetic? Think Again.
Most people confuse sympathy with empathy—standing at the edge versus climbing into the hole. Empathy means feeling into someone’s experience, not just feeling for them from a distance.

Why Russia Had Everything and Built Almost Nothing in Four Centuries
Russia had everything—resources, education, strategic power. Yet its GDP per capita is one-sixth of America’s. Four centuries of autocracy taught Russians nothing but control, corruption, and hardship. When you’ve never known trust-based institutions, you can’t imagine building them. Seventy years of choices compound. Some nations built prosperity. Russia chose nothing.
