In a lengthy (90 minute) speech to the elites gathered at Davos, President Trump pulled no punches as he took shots at the various ‘loser’ globalist leaders in the audience.

There’s a lot there but the main focus of commentary has been on Trump ruling out taking Greenland by force but calling for “immediate negotiations”.
“People thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force,” Trump said in a highly anticipated address to the World Economic Forum.
Between his sharp criticisms of NATO and Europe, Trump repeatedly signaled that fears of invasion were overblown:
“They have a choice: You can say yes and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no, and we will remember.”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
