President Trump is in a heap of trouble in Greenland. Denmark and most of Europe don’t like that he is bribing all 58,000 citizens by offering ‘em $500,000 if they secede. And Greenlanders are holding out for more, at least $750,000 each. Knowing negotiations will take at least a year, the birth rate is expected to accelerate.

Meanwhile, thousands of Americans have rushed to the Greenland embassy in DC, not to protest, but to apply for citizenship.

A hundred years ago Will Rogers was proud to say, “I’m not a member of any organized political party… I’m a Democrat.” In my programs as “Will Rogers” that line always gets a laugh.

Will Rogers was a Democrat, no kidding. He was kind and respectful of all presidents, including Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. In 1932, he was totally for Franklin D. Roosevelt, including introducing him at a massive campaign rally in Los Angeles, “This introduction tonight is not flowery or ostentatious, because I am wasting no oratory on just a prospect. Now after you’re elected, I’ll do right by you.”

Today, I’m got my doubts. In 2028, I can’t see Will proudly standing in front of a huge rally for one of the apparent Democrat candidates and heaping praise on him or her. If Will was invited to speak at the Democratic Convention, like in 1932 in Chicago, I’m pretty sure he would not repeat his comments when he implored the delegates, no matter which candidate they favored, to go home and support the nominee, “Don’t say he’s the weakest man… don’t say he can’t win… I don’t see how he could ever be weak enough not to win. If he lives until November, he’s in!” (Convention Articles, June 27, 1932)

Last week, I asked a lot of questions. Today, I have a couple of observations. Congress voted on keeping Title IX support for women’s sports. The vast majority of Democrats voted against continuing to keep these sports teams, and their locker rooms, only for girls and women. An expert gynecologist testifying in the Senate was asked, “Can a man get pregnant?” Even after years of helping with hundreds of births, not one from a man, she refused to answer that simple question. When given a choice, Democrats usually ignore victims and favor the illegal immigrants who committed the crime.

        “Us Democrats just seem to have an uncanny premonition of sizing up a question and guessing wrong on it. It almost makes you think sometimes it is done purposely.” (Saturday Evening Post, Jan. 19, 1929)

Gov. Tim Walz, supported by mayor Jacob Frey, is reading up on Jefferson Davis as he maps out a plan for Minnesota to secede from the Union. Listening to Congresswoman Omar’s list of atrocities, who can blame him, “ICE is a paramilitary force, terrorizing families, escalating enforcement, killing a U.S. citizen, detaining individuals because of their color without warrants, without access to counsel, including my own son. They force car accidents where they smash windows, cut seat belts, and carry people away.”

To help tamp down animosity on the streets, Gov. Walz decided to call up the National Guard. The big decision for the Guard is, are we fighting against the criminals and protesters, or against ICE?

With Walz’s application to secede from the United States, the former Democrat V-P candidate is demanding the return of the 300 hardened criminal immigrants recently hauled away by ICE. “These are our neighbors. The women protesting, including mothers and grandmothers, are missing their affordable supply of cocaine and fentanyl.” There is some question whether those gang members, rapists and murderers will want to return to Minnesota. Without easy access to billions in free money from the U.S. taxpayers, why go back to frigid Minneapolis?

On a serious note, Martin Luther King is honored tomorrow. Will Rogers did as much as he could to end discrimination against Blacks and Indians. For example, after Will became a movie star, he had the freedom to change scripts. He used that freedom to promote the growth of fellow actors, including Lincoln Perry, known as Stepin’ Fetchit, Bill Robinson, known as Bojangles, and Hattie McDaniels. Will Rogers created situations where these three actors could grow beyond what was expected of them. Also, a Cherokee woman was a candidate for President of the Women’s Federation of Clubs in 1935. Will supported her, “I hate to see her kicked out because she’s an Indian. She’s a wonderful woman. So, any of you women who are going to (the convention), don’t you vote my Indian out, or I’ll be on you from now on.” (Radio, June 2, 1935) (Yes, she won.)
