Sup Ct to decide if Michigan County tax collectors can seize ‘n sell a family home on a legal technicality & even tho all taxes had allegedly been paid. Whoa. Hello 5th Amendment? Regardless, shouldn’t Lincolnian common sense have prevented this injustice?

The Greenland brouhaha may pale compared to the sudden diplomatic storm over possession of dinky but strategically vital Diego Garcia island 1K miles from India. Ex-colonialist UK wants to “free” it as China licks its chops. US belatedly balks. As it must.

At Davos, Trump bitch-slapped Europe like a sissy-hating Prussian war lord while Zelensky called out their naivete in dealing with Putin’s invading Russia. BOTH insisted they love “La Belle Europe” but talked like they hate saving the damsel from herself...

Marco Rubio has become as indispensable a confidant to Trump as SoS William Seward was to Lincoln: From advising on Iran’s nuke meltdown to Ukraine’s eye in Putin’s puss to arresting narco-terrorist Maduro to making Greenland the 51st state.
