Hi everybody, welcome to today's news for September 19th through 21st. How you doing? I'm Larry Swiker. Your host, I'll be bringing you the headlines. You can get the full stories, all the links, everything else below here at the wild world of politics.com. Don't forget the new book is out American biography. If you want an autographed copy, get it on Amazon. Email me at Larry at wildworldahistory.com with your address and I'll be happy to send you an autographed book plate. Remember also the two new chapters are available for Patriots History of the United States. If you want those, those are free. Email me at Larry at wildworldahistory.com. To like, share, buy Larry a coffee, we are moving ahead with our Patriots History, the Pilgrims,

Torch video. We started rendering. We've got about two minutes done out of the 10 that we need to start. So help us out. We could use just a little bit more cash, not a ton, just a little bit. So by Larry, a coffee once in a while. All right. Our headlines are Trump gets Greenland networks, boycott Trump after CNN ban and Germany's populist party continues to kick butt. In political news, the hoax news media had largely forgotten about Greenland after snickering at Trump's attempts to buy it. Now Trump, Denmark and Greenland have reached a three-way deal in which the US will take over all of Greenland's security. This is the fifth and probably final step by Trump to gain complete control over every one of the key maritime choke points. He secured control over

the straight of Malacca in a deal with Indonesia last year. Got Panama to boot out the Chikoms. Then this year negotiated a similar arrangement to that of Indonesia with Morocco giving us control over the straight of Gibraltar. And finally, in operational terms, we now have the straight of MAGA or Hormuz. The Chikoms are officially surrounded and locked in should we determine to close any of those straights. Those are all the westward facing straights. I didn't discuss the straight of Luzon or some of the eastward facing straights because that's not where China is going to need to hit its oil. Hang on a second, I'm going to clear my throat. Excuse me. There we go. That's better. Speaking of the Chikoms being in big trouble, now the administration is being urged to prepare for the internal collapse of China. I recall when the Berlin Wall fell

and the George H.W. Bush administration was absolutely clueless as to how to proceed because they never dreamed it would happen. Democrat internal polls make up the highest level ever of all polling. That should tell you something. Do you wonder why they're so incredibly skewed? Even CNN admits that the polls are badly skewed and says that if the performance on election day matches the difference from polls in previous years, the Republicans will hold the House and the Senate. Pew says the Republicans more than ever are refusing to participate in polls. Meanwhile, 45% of misogenders say they would not consider voting for a muzzle. I say what's wrong with the other 55%. Just another sign that the polling is likely off. The National Republican Congressional Committee is both outraising and outspending Democrats. I'm sorry that doesn't happen in a blue wave.

Notice also that the left-doids are complaining about funding problems, which is good news for us. White House has banned three hoax news outlets from pressers, CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, all of which are completely biased, non-news sites. Now, all the networks, including faux, are banning on-camera coverage of Trump. Do they not understand that they just increase the viewership of the non-traditional media? Moreover, did they forget that none of them carried his national security prime time address a few weeks ago? Like most people, I'm sick of the stupid Kennedy Center stories. This is about one thing. Trump is trying to rebuild, restore, and fix all of DC's dilapidated infrastructure and the evil satanic Democrats are more concerned that he will get credit than they are that the structures are actually fixed. Now it's revealed

that Ruta Begaz own inspectors report a disrepair and safety hazards at the Kennedy Center for Trump to fix. Washington State's Supreme Court struck down a citizen initiative that passed with over 51% of the vote that would bar any state or local government from restricting residents from having access to natural gas or gas-powered appliances. In other words, they're trying to force people on all electric all the time. A data rejoice here as USAID closes once and for all. Hallelujah. The fence have dismantled a $250 million Democrat fake nursing degree scheme. I'm serious. Do all Democrats do anything that isn't rooted in lies and fakery? I've yet to see it.

Latest space ex-rocket deployed 27 starling satellites and nailed a perfect landing. Musk has done this in a fraction of the time. It would take NASA and at a fraction of the cost. President Trump. agreed to convert the triumphal arch into a dual-purpose military grade facility that will house drones and have supplies for snipers. Something isn't right about this. The ballroom already was rumored to have a major military purpose beneath. Someone knows something and Trump is preparing for something. A new discrimination lawsuit has been filed by the DOJ against deerborn for discrimination against Christians and Whites. The moronic governor of Massachusetts wants health care workers. Listen

to this. To barge into the homes of every newborn to provide quote additional support and resources. In other words, they're going to try to make sure you're using the right pronouns on your new born baby. Don't let them in your house. Ever. Let them in. In AI news. It's becoming increasingly clearer that perhaps most of the AI fear mongering is a deliberate attempt by Sam Altman and Dario Amade to affect a monopolistic control imposed by government that protects them via extremely costly tests. So we've got to be careful of this. Yes, we want AI controlled. But we don't want to establish a government monopoly here. In illegal criminal alien news, President Trump's H1B visa fee of $100,000 has dried up foreign applicants as it was designed to do. Foreign applications are down 87%. Starting in October, there will be a new quote social media check

for applicants. So those advocating Islamic revolution might want to reconsider applying. Universities are already reporting a 20% drop in foreign students on top of that. The administration issued new direction on the existing H1B program which said was suffering from systemic and widespread abuse. By the key, I'm sorry, but the key is in section three, which required the government and the employees, the employees, the employers to determine whether Americans were laid off in favor of foreigners. But hold on now, the order further said that within 30 days, the Department of Labor will begin investigating past layoffs. IE, did you fire Americans to hire foreigners? As Jeff Childers notes, this is a 180 degree opposite approach to the so-called conservative whiners who complained Trump wasn't doing anything on H1Bs

at all. In one move, he did more than all other previous presidents combined. The border wall has now reached Big Ben, Texas for the next 47-mile stretch. This apparently is the hardest section of the wall that will be completed. A Minnesota-based ICE relief fund had to shut down due to corruption. Shocked, I tell you. In cultural news, New Yorkers have already killed 20 with their euthanizing programs. This idiotic 1619 writer, she deliberately sent her daughter to a crap school as a quote, sacrifice, and the daughter re-build and was outraged as she should be. Educated people are more likely to attend church regularly. In trans-royd news, two more euthat hospitals have reached agreements with the DOJ to keep child mutilation centers closed. An ex-pride president and school district employee

was arrested for abuse, torture, and child misconduct. Again, shock, I tell you. A federal judge has blocked the University of California from using its stupid pronoun rules. In economic news, I love this, Seattle's businesses are begging the woke, flee-inhaling mayor for actually enforcing the law to actually enforce the law and to protect businesses and their employees, which he isn't doing. You can file this one underweight. I thought you were going to take care of us. Good luck. Likewise, we have this story on Friday, but now we know more about its cost to ordinary people. The Washington Supreme Court Nick State Citizen Initiative to restore gas appliances and bring back natural gas. As a result, homeowners could face $40,000 in conversion costs. You might want to leave that evil state.

New Kabul, New York City, turned back to gas buses after figuring out that EVs ain't good in the maintenance department. The a Medicare equipment company will repay over $800,000 in false billing. Meanwhile, over at HUD, over 75 million in homeless fraud was discovered. The Trump administration is rooting out this fraud right and left. In international news, nothing new here, but this is a good summary of how the West is constantly tying its own hands when it comes to energy with goofy climate change net zero nonsense while the Chikams build, build, build. Here's an amazing chart that hideous walking piece of pig sludge, Mao Zedong, killed so many people that it literally affected global life expectancy levels. German Chancellor Fred and Ethel Merck's vows to stay on despite his party getting their

butts kicked in two more local elections. Nobody wants you there, little Herman Huntsler. Expect more evil from Molakostan. I'm sorry, Kenakostan. I'm sorry, Canada. As an 83-year-old grandmother was euthanized against her will. This is going to be extremely common, folks. President Trump and Mecky Coates President Shinebaum have agreed to a bilateral trade deal. Trump has destroyed all multinational deals that were disadvantaged to the U.S. and is replacing them with bilateral deals that benefit us. In my sub-stack on Friday, I discuss the genius of Trump locking down all the major West oriented choke points, strangling China. Here is a visual line developed that will show you this with a choke points in red or pink. In entertainment news, poor little Ed Sharan is learning first-hand

that you cannot dip your toe in the battle between the Hamas murder pirates and Israel. Earlier, he had removed rapper or mechalmore off his tour because of the rapper's quote, free Palestine garbage. Robert Kraft, who owns the New England Patriots and the arena where they were to perform, said he would not allow metronome more on stage. Sharan then had a tearful both sides are guilty kind of apology. No, they're Eddie. Both sides are not guilty. October 7 was a murderous terror attack designed to kill innocent people who were going to a concert, kill babies, kill all sorts of unarmed people. The Hamas murder pirates hide in Gaza because they are supported there by killer fecal puppets who scream from the river to the sea and death to America. So no, the two are not equal. Don't even think about it. No other way to view this except

got it foreign, you blinked and now Paramount will get its merger with Warner Brothers. Comedian Carrot Top has had a long standing stint in Las Vegas at the Luxor attempted suicide in Las Vegas the other night. A bad day in the NFL for quarterbacks as both Washington Forst and quarterback Jaden Daniels with elbow dislocation and Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams with hamstring or forced out that fall of the injury last week to the Viking starter Kyler Murray. What do they all have in common? They are so called running quarterbacks who make their living running the ball as well as throwing and getting out of the pocket. Problem is the career of such quarterbacks is very short. Roger Stoback dramatically adjusted his approach and came to be a pocket passer and Patrick Mahomes runs mostly in order to throw.

Probably the one quarterback invulnerable to such injuries is Josh Allen of the Buffalo builds who's bigger than almost any linebacker. Still the pounding from constant running always takes a toll. Brady, Tom Brady only had one major injury in his career because he threw the ball in under three seconds almost every time didn't get hit. Although the New England Patriots won the game, they lost five players in their game this weekend and the Packers who did lose had two players go out in just four plays. So it's getting extremely violent out there. In medical news, pretty big as the Toronto Sun, one of the most vaxiopathic papers out there, has basically recanted admitting per the Allison injury report.

The Allison injury report that Canada put out, there need to be resignations and called the China virus response, the quote, biggest health policy mistake in Canadian history at best or a crime against humanity at worst. This is the Toronto Sun, folks, their version of the New York Slimes. When combined with the criminal investigations of seven of Dr. Felensys glitter pickers, this is progress. White House is moving to take control of the NIH grants via an outside panel. Good. And finally, a kit fox named Chance was run over but is recovering now due to swimming therapy. Who knew foxes could float? I didn't. Anyway, that's today's news. The news of today's history tomorrow. I will see you guys back here on Wednesday.
