Denmark Begins Extended Conscription as It Prepares for ‘Russian Threat’ and US Designs on Greenland – 19-Year-Old Danish Princess Begins Military Service

Copenhagen means to take on Moscow and Washington?

We have been reporting here on TGP about how Europe is re-arming at a frantic pace, to defend themselves from the ‘Russian threat’, that while existent, is much inflated by Globalists needing an outside enemy to distract from their ruinous public policies.

In the case of Denmark, the Scandinavian kingdom has a secondary reason for beefing up their military forces: the interest by Donald J. Trump on controlling the Arctic island of Greenland.

Reuters reported:

“Around ‌1,600 Danish military recruits on Monday began the country’s new extended conscription, embarking on an 11-month service period as Denmark accelerates its defense build-up driven by Arctic security pressures and the war in Ukraine.”

The standard service time has increased to 11 months, 7,500 conscripts trained annually by 2033 (up from ​5,000).

“The new intake arrives as Denmark prepares to deploy conscripts to Greenland for the first ​time later this month, with a company of more than 100 soldiers set to serve for one month taking over operational tasks from professional troops.

The deployment carries added political weight as U.S. President Donald ​Trump has repeatedly sought to annex the semi-autonomous Danish territory, citing national security, a demand firmly rejected ​by the governments of Greenland and Denmark.”

Indian-origin Canadian trucker caught hiding millions in cocaine on cross-continent run

Bodycam footage from an Arizona state trooper on January 6, 2025, shows just how casually certain truck drivers engage in fraud and high-stakes smuggling.

It also shows how easily this kind of criminality rides alongside ordinary traffic on North American highways.

On Interstate 40 near Holbrook, a Volvo tractor-trailer drew a state trooper’s attention when its hazard lights began flashing, then leaving a turn signal flashing. When questioned, the Canadian driver claimed there was a switch problem and said he was heading to a Love’s mechanic — after already passing both a Love’s and a TA truck stop. The driver quickly pivoted his story, claiming he was heading to an “Indian mechanic,” when the trooper flagged his response as suspicious.

While examining the electronic logging device, the trooper quickly became aware of a concerning driving pattern.

There were multiple stretches of “unidentified drive time” appearing from Michigan through Ohio into New York, and again just before the stop.

The driver invented a co-driver named “Uncle” — someone who never logged in or out yet somehow erased hours when convenient. He claimed to be in the sleeper berth when the records showed he was driving. This is textbook hours-of-service fraud designed to push past the federal 11-hour driving limit.

What began as a traffic stop escalated when the trooper checked the sleeper berth. Tightly wrapped bricks of cocaine were found hidden underneath. More packages appeared on the opposite side. Officers then found kilo after kilo concealed throughout the produce load itself, turning out to be one of the larger commercial-truck seizures in recent memory.

The driver, 31-year-old Amarjeet Singh Matharu, had allegedly made the run multiple times before. For moving cocaine valued in the tens of millions of dollars range, he received just under three years in prison.

This bodycam footage finally offers a clear window into the kind of culture that has taken root in commercial trucking.

Ontario’s Auditor General reported in May that private career colleges routinely cut the required 103.5-hour Entry Level Training to as little as 59 or 81 hours, with some skipping emergency stops and left turns at major intersections altogether.

Unregistered schools were handing out certificates, dozens of colleges were never even inspected, and nearly 100 trucking companies with serious safety violations were still being approved to bring in temporary foreign workers; putting them behind the wheel of these increasingly deadly trucks.

“Driver Inc.” has become widely known as a model that misclassifies drivers as independent contractors, allowing companies to dodge overtime, proper wages, and hours-of-service rules. The result is financial pressure that keeps exhausted drivers on the road, compromising road safety at large.

Government Will Steal Your Land to Feed the AI Machine

Private land may be seized to construct transmission lines required by the rapidly expanding AI data-center industry. If a property owner refuses to sell an easement voluntarily, a utility may resort to eminent domain, provided the project is declared a “public use” and the owner receives what the government calls “just compensation.” Let us call this what it is: legalized theft.

The government does not ask whether the land has been in your family for generations, whether you built your home with your own hands, or whether the money offered would ever replace what is being destroyed. A bureaucrat determines the supposed market value, a judge blesses the taking, and armed government agents will eventually remove you if you continue to resist. They hide behind legal phrases because “confiscation for corporate benefit” would expose the practice for what it has become.

The United States already has more than 3,000 data centers, with another 1,500 under development. These facilities consumed more than 4% of total US electricity in 2024, and demand is rising rapidly as companies construct gigawatt-scale AI campuses. New transmission lines must cross somebody’s property, and when the owner says no, the state may simply decide that no does not matter.

Seventy percent of Americans reportedly oppose having a data center built near their community. These facilities can consume enormous quantities of electricity and water while creating noise, traffic, pollution, and higher infrastructure costs. Health risks are not fully understood although reports of increased cancer risks are prevalent in communities near these facilities. Yet the same governments that claim to represent the public are preparing to override that opposition because the technology companies have more influence than the families whose land stands in their way.

This is already happening. CBS News reported that Georgia Power acquired more than 300 parcels for a transmission project intended largely to serve data centers. The utility said that between 70% and 80% of the new line’s capacity would support data-center demand. Families were informed that if they refused the proposed sale, Georgia Power could pursue condemnation.

Ansley Brown’s family sold the home her grandparents had built after receiving an eminent-domain notice. She called the process “theft,” and she was absolutely correct. Georgia Power would not even identify the data-center companies benefiting from the project, citing customer confidentiality. The landowner must surrender everything, but the corporate beneficiary is permitted to remain hidden. That tells you exactly who the government serves.

The Fifth Amendment states that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. The government has twisted those words beyond recognition. A transmission line that principally benefits unnamed private technology corporations is now presented as a public necessity merely because the electricity passes through the broader grid. Under that reasoning, nearly any private commercial project can be disguised as public infrastructure.

The Supreme Court opened the floodgates with Kelo v. City of New London in 2005. The Court ruled 5–4 that private property could be taken and transferred to another private party as part of an economic-development plan. The politicians promised jobs, tax revenue, and revitalization. The proposed Pfizer-related development never materialized as promised, and much of the condemned neighborhood remained vacant for years. Families lost their homes so politicians could gamble with property that was never theirs.

Transgender TV star arrested on child molestation and sodomy charges, mom ‘blindsided’

Reality TV star Sidney Starr, a transgender whose real name is Sidney Favors, was arrested Sunday in Georgia on felony charges of sodomy, sexual battery against a child under 16 and aggravated child molestation.

Favors is a man pretending to be a woman, and IMDB calls him an “actress” who has appeared “Star” and “Empire.” TMZ says Sidney is best known for “Love & Hip Hop: New York” and “Wild ‘n Out.”

Fox 5 Atlanta reports Favors “was taken into custody following an incident at the Embassy Suites in the 3400 block of International Boulevard” in Hapeville, Georgia.

“Booking records accuse her of performing oral sex on a minor at a hotel in Hapeville and confessing to the act,” according to TMZ.

“Because this case involves a juvenile, no additional information will be released from our agency,” the Hapeville Police Department told the station.

The probe has been turned over to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

Libs of TikTok noted: “The thing they say never happens, happened again.”

Meanwhile, TMZ reports Stephanie Favors, the mother of Sidney Favors, says she was blindsided by the child sex allegations against her child, and fully stands behind Sidney.

“Stephanie Favors tells us the allegations are completely out of character for Sidney,” she told TMZ, “and she does not believe her [biological son] would engage in sexual activity with a minor.”

Sidney Favors posted a video on TikTok dancing with mother Stephanie.

Capital One Admits It Closed Over 300 Trump Organization Accounts After Internal AML Review — Bank Calls Political Debanking Claims ‘Misguided’

Capital One Financial disclosed in a late-Friday court filing that it closed more than 300 Trump Organization-affiliated bank accounts in 2021 — not because of politics, the bank insists, but following a “months-long” internal anti-money laundering review. The disclosure, reported by Reuters and confirmed by CNBC, marks the first time any financial institution has formally cited AML concerns in connection with the Trump family’s business empire.

The filing, submitted to federal court in Miami on August 1, 2026, is Capital One’s latest attempt to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the Trump Organization and Eric Trump in March 2025. The suit alleges that Capital One acted on “woke” political ideology and sought to capitalize on the anti-Trump sentiment that surged after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Capital One’s lawyers called those allegations “misguided” and insisted that “the closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by Capital One’s AML team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance.”

The bank was careful to add a crucial qualifier: it “never accused the Trump Organization of illegal money laundering.” Instead, Capital One argues its compliance team identified “transaction patterns” that fit the types of activity flagged under federal Bank Secrecy Act guidance — a distinction that may satisfy regulators but does little to quiet the political firestorm the case has ignited.

Conservative critics have long argued that the post-January 6 wave of corporate debanking — in which major financial institutions quietly closed accounts tied to figures on the political right — amounts to ideological discrimination dressed up in regulatory language. Capital One is hardly alone in the dock. In January 2026, the Trump Organization filed a separate $5 billion suit against JPMorgan Chase on identical grounds. Trump signed an executive order in August 2025 specifically banning discriminatory debanking, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has launched a review of nine major banks over the practice.

The Miami federal court has now dismissed two prior versions of the Trump-Capital One complaint, each time allowing an amended filing. The latest amended complaint, submitted in July 2026, claims the bank’s AML rationale is a post-hoc cover story, pointing to “cherry-picked” internal documents that the bank says, when read in full context, vindicate its compliance process. U.S. District Judge Roy Altman will now decide whether the Trump team has finally built a case strong enough to survive.

LAUGHABLE: MSNOW Host Tries to Suggest DSA Candidates Are Moderating Their Views

Eugene Daniels of MSNOW recently suggested that DSA members running for office are starting to moderate their views. It is to laugh.

As proof of this, he talks about being handed a document by a DSA member that no longer included anything about abolishing the Senate, defunding the Department of War, or the police.

In other words, they’ve started hiding all the crazy stuff they believe from public view, and to Daniels, this is proof that they are taking a more moderate approach. Only someone who watches MSNOW would believe this idiocy.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

EUGENE DANIELS: So, guys, I think—what I thought was really interesting and what I left with was that they’re also understanding that this is a moment that they haven’t had before, and that they actually have to appear more serious.

You know, when I was talking to the co-chair at the beginning there, one of the other parts of the conversation was that, you know, they know that people see them as like, silly little kids that are playing politics or — where in fact, they could, you know, take all of the anger that’s happening in this country and transition into something real.

And so when you talk about, you know, that little pamphlet I had was something that they were giving out to everyone. And what was not in there was the stuff that has gotten the most attention from their platform. That’s on two pages. We have this in element one. There are a lot of things on there, but what wasn’t in that in that paper was there was no abolish the U.S. Senate, which has gotten them pilloried. There was no abolish the Defense Department. There was no there was nothing about defunding the police. That that was not in there.

And what he said to me was this document that I was holding in my hand, has — was put together in the last month. So to me that signals that there may be some changes coming to the platform.

MI5 directors who plotted IRGC ‘terror’ ban exposed in leaked emails

Leaked emails reviewed by The Grayzone show both a current and former MI5 director secretly lobbied for the British government’s move to label the IRGC a terrorist entity as well as the UK’s adoption of the draconian National Security Act.

The correspondence reviewed here offers extraordinary insight into how the MI5 influences Downing Street and manipulates public perceptions of dubious or non-existent threats.

On July 13, the government of former Prime Minister Keir Starmer officially listed the IRGC as a terrorist organization, citing supposed kidnapping and assassination plots by the Iranian military branch. Now, merely publishing Iranian-supplied casualty figures could be categorized as “terrorism,” potentially landing British citizens in prison for up to 14 years.

Leaked correspondence reviewed by The Grayzone reveals that when first proposed in 2023, the push to proscribe the Iranian military branch was coordinated among the former heads of British intelligence agency MI5. Those plotting the designation included the MI5’s current Director General Ken McCallum and previous Director General Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller – who was privately credited with the passage of Britain’s draconian National Security Act.

The spymasters appeared to view Labour’s then-Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper as a key ally in constricting civil liberties and convincing government officials to formally designate the IRGC a terrorist entity.

In private discussions, McCallum acknowledged the “direct operational benefit” of proscribing the IRGC was likely to be “modest.” The MI5 chief nonetheless considered it “sensible to contemplate” such powers, and potentially extending them to include a ban on supposedly state-affiliated factions such as the now-defunct Russian private military company Wagner.

McCallum’s behind-the-scenes lobbying of Cooper and Starmer was the culmination of a wider effort by veteran MI5 officials who’d sought to “help the opposition to be ready to govern” once they took office in July 2024. 

Starmer and his shadow cabinet proved highly receptive to clandestine approaches from McCallum and his veteran MI5 forebears. Meanwhile, McCallum deployed scaremongering about the supposed threat of China, Iran and Russia – frequently coordinated with Manningham-Buller – to justify ratcheting up budgets and powers for the spy agency, whose ultimate targets appear to be domestic dissidents.

An Indiana Fever postgame press conference came to an abrupt end when a reporter attempted to ask about teammate Sophie Cunningham’s recent comments defending women’s sports.

The team’s PR director immediately cut off the session, sending players and the coach fleeing the podium.

Following the Fever’s win over the Portland Fire on Friday night, an Outkick reporter began a question with the words “Speaking of outside noise, Sophie came out with—”

PR director Jackie Maynard immediately interjected and declared, “We’re going to wrap up there.”

Players Aliyah Boston and Makayla Timpson quickly jumped out of their seats and left the room.

Boston offered a brief “Thank you. Have a good day,” while coach Stephanie White briefly stared at papers before following them out.

Trump’s State Department Begins Revoking Visas of Foreign Drunk Drivers

President Donald Trump’s State Department has started revoking visas for foreign nationals arrested for drunk driving, agency officials announced this week.

“The Trump Administration is keeping reckless foreign drivers off our streets by revoking visas and denying further travel to the United States,” officials wrote in a statement. “The State Department is keeping our streets safe from foreign nationals who drive impaired, disregard laws, and endanger Americans.”

Among those foreign nationals who have had their visas revoked is one who was recently arrested for drunk driving, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest with violence, and domestic violence.

“Outrageous and dangerous behavior that endangers American communities will never be tolerated,” officials wrote. “Visa revoked.”

Others for whom the agency has revoked visas include:

A foreign national was arrested for aggravated DUI with a blood alcohol level nearly double the legal limit and a minor in the vehicle. Reckless behavior that puts a child’s life at risk on America’s roads is unacceptable. Visa revoked.

Another foreign national was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol level more than 3x the legal limit. The driver then showed up drunk to a court-mandated DUI program. No more second chances for foreign visitors who put American lives at risk. Visa revoked.

A foreign national was arrested for DUI and causing injury to another person. Foreigners who threaten American lives aren’t welcome in the United States. Visa revoked.

One foreign national was arrested for driving with heroin and a blood alcohol level more than 3x the legal limit. Flagrant abuse of America’s hospitality won’t be tolerated. Visa revoked.

“Under President Trump, the State Department will continue to revoke the visas of foreigners who endanger our citizens and will always put the safety of Americans first,” officials wrote.

The news comes as the State Department, under the direction of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has also begun revoking visas for foreign nationals who have been arrested and convicted of fraud.

Establishment Democrats warn socialist candidates could cost the party the midterms

As Democratic Socialist candidates and their candidacies are gaining steam, establishment Democrats connected to the Clinton and Obama administrations are sounding the alarm, warning that the rise of radicals is threatening the party’s chances of winning the upcoming midterms. 

“There is emerging evidence that Democrats are being harmed by perceptions that the party is drifting towards socialism,” wrote Douglas Schoen and Carly Cooperman, partners at the public opinion company Schoen Cooperman Research.

Schoen is a veteran of Democratic President Bill Clinton’s 1996 campaign as well as Hillary Clinton’s 2008 bid for the party’s presidential nomination.

Alarming to these Democrats is the fact that President Donald Trump’s low approval ratings have not translated into the expected polling advantage for Democratic candidates heading into the midterms in November, in which control of the House and Senate will be decided. 

Trump’s approval rating is underwater, hovering under 40% since May. However, in the most recent YouGov/Economist poll, in late July, Democrats outperformed Republicans by only 4 points. For comparison, Democrats consistently polled 7 to 13 points ahead of Republicans ahead of the 2018 blue wave election. 

Such a “narrow lead,” Schoen and Cooperman say, “suggests that heightened focus on the socialist-progressive candidates of late severely hurts Democrats’ ability to capitalize on widespread anti-Trump sentiment.”

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has become the face of the Democratic Socialist movement. Earlier this year, he clashed directly with the Democratic Party establishment in the city in order to remake its congressional delegation in his image. Mamdani backed three progressive socialist-aligned candidates who were successful in unseating incumbents or their establishment-backed opponents.

One of those winners, Darializa Avila Chevalier, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), has drawn scrutiny over past social media posts expressing support for communism and Marxist ideology, including sympathy for Soviet figures. 

Democratic Socialists or their ideological allies have also surged in Colorado, Maine and Michigan. Schoen and Cooperman believe the party is “running bigger risks” by considering these candidates because it will fuel the Republican efforts to paint the Democratic Party more broadly as unpopular socialists. 

In Maine, scandal-ridden Graham Platner – who was closely tied to the Democratic Socialist infrastructure of Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and Mayor Mamdani – had to drop out of the race. 

But, the state party chose Troy Jackson to replace him. Though not directly affiliated with the DSA, Jackson is backed by the organization and shares many of its policy goals. The DSA even endorsed Jackson for his earlier failed bid for governor.

In Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary Tuesday, the frontrunner is Abdul El-Sayed, who is backed by democratic socialist Sanders and New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Though not affiliated with the DSA, he also espouses policies similar to the organization’s goals.

To Schoen and Cooperman, an affiliation with the DSA is not necessary to hurt the Democratic Party.

“Republicans do not need every Democrat to be Democratic Socialists of America members to brand all Democrats as socialists. They simply need enough high-profile Democrats on the party’s left-wing fringe to make the caricature stick,” they said in a Monday op-ed published in The Hill.   

Making matters worse, DSA co-chair Megan Romer took to cable news on Sunday to fully embrace that “caricature.” 

In an interview with Fox News’ Shannon Bream, which circulated widely on social media, Romer publicly embraced the most radical DSA proposals for the country, including abolishing the Senate, the presidency, the Supreme Court, national borders, immigration enforcement, prisons and defunding the U.S. military.

Romer made clear she views the DSA as ascendant and the establishment Democrats as outdated. 

“We run on the Democratic ballot line where it makes sense,” she said. “We run independents sometimes where that is a viable possibility, but it’s a ballot line. What matters is what the voters think, and the voters are overwhelmingly choosing our candidates.” 

Beyond Schoen, other Democrats are raising the alarm about the growing influence of socialists in their party and warning that it could lead to disastrous consequences for the midterm elections as the party’s popularity continues to sag. 

This month, former Chicago Mayor, Obama Chief of Staff and Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emmanuel said that Democratic Socialist “Bernie Bros” could “spoil” the midterm elections for Democrats. 

“Ultimately, this is about policy. It was socialists who led the charge to defund the police, open the borders, abolish prisons, release violent criminals onto the streets and degrade the flag. We know those are electoral losers,” Emmanuel wrote last week.  

He argues that these positions often held by more radical candidates running in deep blue areas make it more difficult for Democratic candidates running in swing districts vital for winning the House.  

Republicans are jumping on the success of the DSA to associate Democrats with the organization’s policies. 

President Trump and the GOP have launched a campaign arguing the Democratic Party has been infiltrated with communist candidates as the November election nears, Just the News reported on Wednesday.
