Former Rep. MTG dumps cold water on Trump’s Greenland acquisition ambitions: ‘We’ve heard that one before’

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — a Republican who left office earlier this year after a falling out with President Donald Trump last year — poured cold water on the president’s ambitions to add Greenland to the U.S.

‘We are approaching $40 Trillion in debt and Social Security is going to be insolvent by 2033. Is anyone even talking about how much it’s going to cost the American people to take over Greenland?’ Greene asked in a Tuesday post on X.

‘Saying it’s ‘for your safety’ is not sufficient. We’ve heard that one before and it didn’t turn out so well,’ she added.

The U.S. national debt is more than $38.46 trillion, according to fiscaldata.treasury.gov.

Trump has said the U.S. needs to acquire Greenland as a matter of national security.

‘The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building,’ he asserted in part of a Truth Social post last week.

‘China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it,’ he declared in part of another Truth Social post last week. 

‘Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake,’ he asserted. ‘Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important.’

Comer dares Democrats to advance Clinton contempt of Congress resolutions or ‘be exposed as hypocrites’

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is calling for bipartisanship on a key vote that could lead to former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facing criminal charges.

Comer will ask Democrats to join Republicans in teeing up House-wide votes on holding the Clintons in contempt of Congress on Wednesday, after both defied subpoenas to appear for his committee’s probe into Jeffrey Epstein.

‘The Committee does not take this action lightly. But subpoenas are not mere suggestions; they carry the force of law and require compliance,’ Comer will say, according to an excerpt obtained by Fox News Digital. ‘Former President Clinton and Secretary Clinton were legally required to appear for depositions before this Committee. They refused.’

Comer’s statement will also argue the committee ‘acted in good faith’ in trying to schedule the depositions but that ‘actions have consequences.’

‘We’ve offered flexibility on scheduling. The response we received was not cooperation, but defiance, marked by repeated delays, excuses, and obstruction,’ Comer will say. ‘Today, the Clintons must be held accountable for their actions. And Democrats must support these measures, or they will be exposed as hypocrites.’

The committee is meeting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday to mark up a pair of reports on holding the Clintons in contempt. 

If they pass — which they are expected to do, largely along party lines — it will pave the way for the full House to vote on whether to refer the Clintons to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for prosecution.

‘We must do what is necessary to uphold Congress’s investigative authority, which is imperative to the legislative process,’ Comer will say. ‘And we are doing so to demonstrate to the American people that justice is applied equally to everyone, regardless of position, pedigree, or prestige.’

A contempt of Congress conviction is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum fine of $100,000 and up to one year in jail.

Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, associates of President Donald Trump, were each found guilty of the charge after defying subpoenas sent by the now-defunct House select committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The Clintons were two of 10 people Comer subpoenaed over the summer as part of the Oversight Committee’s probe into Epstein. But despite the initial bipartisan push, the investigation has fallen into partisan infighting as both sides accuse the other of politicizing the probe at the expense of Epstein’s victims.

Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the committee, accused Comer of hypocrisy in trying to hold the Clintons accountable while not pushing harder to enforce the subpoena aimed at forcing the DOJ to release all of its Epstein files, which it has not yet done.

‘I think it’s incredibly hypocritical for James Comer to go out and try to hold in contempt his political enemies while [Attorney General Pam Bondi] is actively breaking the law, and he refuses to hold her in contempt,’ Garcia told MS NOW last week.

Comer also issued a statement on Tuesday stating that he rejected an offer from Bill Clinton’s lawyer for himself and Garcia to sit down with the former president in New York, for an interview without an ‘official transcript.’

‘The House Oversight Committee rejects the Clintons’ unreasonable demands and will move forward with contempt resolutions on Wednesday due to their continued defiance of lawful subpoenas,’ Comer said.

Netanyahu agrees to join Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace after initial pushback

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday he would join President Donald Trump’s new Board of Peace, after previously criticizing the makeup of its executive committee.

Netanyahu confirmed that he would join the newly established Board of Peace, which the Trump administration says will supervise the next phase of the Gaza peace plan.

The Israeli prime minister’s announcement comes after he initially pushed back on Trump’s proposal, following the inclusion of Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi as appointed members to a separate ‘Gaza Executive Board.’

Netanyahu’s office said that move was not coordinated with Israel and ‘runs contrary to its policy.’

The announcement coincides with Trump’s trip to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where he is expected to provide more details about the board. Fox News confirmed that the president is planning to arrange a signing ceremony for the Gaza Board of Peace during his visit.

On Tuesday, when asked if the board should replace the United Nations, Trump said, ‘It might.’

Trump said that the world body ‘hasn’t been very helpful’ and ‘has never lived up to its potential,’ but added that the U.N. should continue to exist ‘because the potential is so great.’

On Jan. 16, the White House said the Board of Peace will play an ‘essential role’ in carrying out all 20 points of the president’s Gaza plan, including providing strategic oversight, mobilizing international resources and ensuring accountability as Gaza transitions from conflict to peace and development.

Dozens of countries have been invited, with notices going out over the weekend, according to officials, including Belarus, China, Ukraine, India, Canada, Argentina, Jordan, Egypt, Hungary, and Vietnam, among others.

Others, including the executive arm of the European Union, confirmed that they have received invitations, but have not responded.

On Monday, Trump confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin received an invitation to join the new board.

The Kremlin said Putin had received the invitation and was ‘studying the details,’ adding it will seek clarity on ‘all the nuances’ in communications with the U.S. government.

France also received an invitation, but does not plan to join ‘at this stage,’ according to a French official close to President Emmanuel Macron.

The White House has said Trump will chair the Board of Peace and be joined by senior political, diplomatic and business figures, including Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, and billionaire Marc Rowan.

Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion, Ashley Carnahan, Gillian Turner and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Jonathan Kuminga finally returns to court in Warriors’ loss to Raptors

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga finally was called off the bench and into action during a 145-127 loss to the Toronto Raptors at Chase Center on Tuesday night.

On the second night of a back-to-back — with the Warriors now having to go forward without Jimmy Butler, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear Monday night — head coach Steve Kerr said he would look more toward his bench depth, including Kuminga who hadn’t played in 16 games due to a coach’s decision.

Kuminga received a roar from the Chase Center crowd when he subbed into the game to start the second quarter of the contest.

He finished with 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting in 21 minutes. He added five rebounds and two assists. Teammate Buddy Hield led the team in scoring with 25 points off then bench, including a perfect 6-of-6 from deep, in 19 minutes of play.

“JK [Kuminga] been a factor in here,’ head coach Steve Kerr told reporters. ‘Really pleased with the way he’s stayed ready and stayed prepared, and he got his opportunity and played really well.”

With Butler out, Kerr said that he would tinker with different lineups on various ‘trial and error’ runs. Kerr told USA TODAY that it’s possible Kuminga could even jolt into the starting role.

‘Everything’s a possibility right now,’ Kerr said. “When you have an injury to, not only one of your best players but one of the best players in the league, it just changes everything. The puzzle completely changes. So we will definitely experiment with some different lineups and combinations. One guy effects the other four and so it will be under consideration, for sure.”

How did Jonathan Kuminga play?

The Warriors were down 41-28 after the first quarter before Kuminga was subbed into the game to start the second period.

In his first stint, a little under five minutes, Kuminga missed his only shot attempt: An alley-oop tip-in on a pass from Draymond Green. He was fouled but missed both free throws. He managed to grab two rebounds in his limited action.

His plus/minus was a minus-10 in four minutes and 39 seconds of playing time.

Golden State is looking for a spark from their bench depth after Butler was lost for the season with a torn ACL.

Kerr said after the Warriors’ win over the Miami Heat that Kuminga could see the floor following Butler’s devastating injury.

‘Sure, absolutely,’ Kerr said responding to a question about Kuminga playing against Toronto.

Warriors trailed 91-63 when Kuminga returned to the game at the 6:12 mark of the third quarter.

He scored 12 points in the period, throwing down a ferocious two-handed slam off an alley-oop pass from Green, a couple of mid-range shots through contact and going the length of the court to make a buzzer-beating layup to end the third.

Golden State trailed 108-94 at the end of three quarters. Kuminga played the remainder of the quarter since subbing in at the 6:12 mark and was a plus-4 after the period.

Kuminga played the entire fourth quarter as his play continued to help the Warriors to cut into that huge double-digit deficit. It was cut to as low as 11 points.

However, the Raptors ran the score back up late and held on to win the game.

The Raptors were led by Immanuel Quickley tied a career-high 40 points to lead all scorers in the game. He shot 11-of-13 from the field, including 7-of-8 from 3-pointers and a perfect 11-of-11 from the free throw line.

Jonathan Kuminga’s future with Warriors

With the NBA trade deadline looming on Feb. 5, Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. spoke to reporters before Monday night’s game, expressing disappointment in losing Butler to injury.

‘He was having a great year and obviously that’s over now. So we’re disappointed as a team, as an organization but most especially individually for Jimmy,’ Dunleavy said. ‘He’s been so much to this organization since he got here. It’s hard to believe he hasn’t even been here a year. He’s fit in so well, we hate it for him. But the beat goes on, we have to keep going.’

There are questions about whether Kuminga can become a focal point of the team’s rotation or is still a key trade component. Kuminga reportedly requested for a trade from Golden State last week.

‘I think as far as the demand, I’m aware of that,’ Dunleavy said. ‘I think in terms of demands, for you to make a demand there needs to be a demand in the market. So we’ll see where that goes.’

He added: ‘Always with these guys I tell them I’m willing to work with them. I want to help people out, whether that’s JK [Kuminga] or any player on our roster. I’m good with [it], if that’s his wishes, trying to figure that out but we have to do what’s best for our organization and that’s as far as it goes.’

However, Dunleavy said with the deadline coming up, he will take the time to evaluate the team.

‘I felt pretty good with where we’re at ending last night’s game in terms of what we need to do. Thought our team was playing well, heading in the right direction,’ Dunleavy said. ‘Obviously things have changed so I wanna take a couple weeks here to watch these games and see our team and what we can do better.’

Dunleavy still holds Kuminga in high regard and believes he can be an asset as a member of the Warriors, and not just a trade piece.

‘He’s available every night. I think there’s a path and a way for him to help us win games,’ Dunleavy said. ‘He knows what that is. If he can do those things, there’s no doubt if he can help us.’

He added: ‘Disappointed it hasn’t worked out better, but it is what it is. But there’s still time left here. He’s still on our roster. The trade’s been requested but nothing’s imminent. Things in this league change in a heartbeat as they did [against Miami].’

Why Baker Mayfield’s looking forward to facing the Falcons in 2026

The Atlanta Falcons made a move to bring on former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski for the 2026 NFL season. He became the second signing in what’s become a busy offseason for coaching changes across the league.

There’s one NFC South foe looking forward to seeing him twice a year who has a history with the former Browns coach.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield responded to a post on X saying that Stefanski had a ‘dumpster fire at quarterback’ during his time in Cleveland.

‘Failed is quite the reach pal,’ Mayfield wrote. ‘Still waiting on a text/call from him after I got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Can’t wait to see you twice a year, Coach.’

Mayfield and Stefanski ended an 18-year playoff drought in their first season together in Cleveland in 2020. The Browns earned their first playoff win since 1994 that year with a 48-37 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The team went 8-9 and missed the playoffs in 2021. Mayfield dealt with a partially torn labrum and missed time during the year. He underwent surgery for the injury in Week 17 of that season.

Cleveland traded for Deshaun Watson the following offseason and Mayfield subsequently requested a trade. He ended up in Carolina to start the 2022 season but was released mid-season. He closed out the year with the Los Angeles Rams and his game-winning drive in his first game as a starter with the team helped him earn a one-year deal with Tampa Bay.

Since the start of the 2023 season, Mayfield ranks second only to Jared Goff in most touchdown passes (95) and passing yards (12,434) in the NFL.

Mayfield will face off against Stefanski’s Falcons twice a year starting this fall.

Struggling Knicks call players-only meeting after home fans boo team

The New York Knicks have hit a rough patch.

After they were blown out at home Monday, Jan. 19 by a middling Dallas Mavericks team – marking their fourth consecutive loss and ninth in 11 games – team captain Jalen Brunson called a players-only meeting to sort through their struggles, according to ESPN.

Per the report, Brunson challenged his teammates to uncover solutions for their poor play, rather than to wait and defer to the coaching staff.

This came after the Knicks were booed at home Monday night, down by as many as 30 points. New York would lose 114-97, and it was the offense that once again let the Knicks down. Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns combined for 44 points, but the rest of New York’s starters (Josh Hart, OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges) contributed only 24 points.

“I mean, I’d be booing us, too,” Brunson told reporters after the game. “Straight up.”

The Knicks began the year with promise, jumping to the No. 2 seed and winning the NBA Cup in mid-December. Once the new year began, however, the team has struggled to find consistent offense, with the ball stagnating; in January, the Knicks have scored 109.4 points per 100 possessions, which ranks 26th in the NBA.

“We’ve got to lock in,” Knicks coach Mike Brown said Monday night after the loss. “We’ve got to do our job for 48 minutes. They scored 75 points in the first half. And at halftime, we usually (show) the clips and talk about technical Xs and Os and crap that coaches do and teams do. There was nothing to be said at halftime, except ‘Lock in and do your (expletive) job,’ excuse me on that.”

Brown pointed out how the Mavericks scored 39 points in the second half, compared to 44 in just the second quarter.

“It’s within our guys,” Brown said. “But we all have to do our job for 48 minutes.”

The Knicks (25-18) are still third in the Eastern Conference, and they have the chance to course correct against crosstown rivals, the Brooklyn Nets (12-29) on Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Gov Whitmer says America ‘ready for a woman president,’ contrasting Michelle Obama

Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she believes America is ready for a woman president, pushing back on recent comments by former first lady Michelle Obama, who said U.S. voters were not ready to elect a woman to the White House.

In an interview with NPR released on Tuesday, Whitmer said she has ‘love’ for the former first lady and ‘the last thing I want to do is disagree with her,’ but that she has a different perspective.

‘I think America is ready for a woman president,’ Whitmer said. ‘The question comes down to a choice between two people, and what we saw in this last election, while Kamala Harris didn’t beat President Trump, we saw women get elected across the country.’

‘We saw women win up and down the ballot in hard, important states to win, so I do think there’s an appetite,’ she added. ‘I just, for whatever reason, we have not had a woman president yet. I think we will at some point in the near future.’

The governor cited the election victories last year for Democratic Govs. Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikie Sherill in New Jersey, as well as Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., in 2024.

In November, Obama said Americans are ‘not ready’ to elect a woman to the White House, pointing to former Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss to President Donald Trump in the last presidential election.

‘As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,’ the former first lady said at the Brooklyn Academy of Music at the time while promoting her book, ‘The Look.’

‘That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not … We’ve got a lot of growing up to do, and there’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it,’ she added.

Pressed on whether Harris lost to Trump in the presidential election because she is a woman, Whitmer responded: ‘I don’t think it was just gender, no.’

Whitmer, who is term limited and cannot seek a third term as governor, said she does not currently have plans to run for another office.

She has been floated as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, but the governor said her focus remains on serving Michigan and helping her party’s candidates win the upcoming midterm elections.

Asked about how Democrats could win in the midterms this year, Whitmer pointed to her gubernatorial campaign’s decision to remain ‘focused on the fundamentals.’

‘I don’t think Michigan is unique in that,’ Whitmer said. ‘I think every person in this country wants and expects government to make their lives better, and so that’s been our formula here in Michigan and I think that can be replicated everywhere successfully.’

Air Force One turns around shortly after takeoff for Trump’s trip to Switzerland

Air Force One was forced to return to Joint Base Andrews shortly after takeoff Tuesday evening with President Donald Trump aboard, the White House said.

The crew experienced a ‘minor electrical issue’ after takeoff at 10:20 p.m. and returned ‘out of an abundance of caution,’ according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Trump was en route to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the World Economic Forum.

Air Force One landed at Joint Base Andrews at 11:07 pm. The president is expected to board a different aircraft and continue on to Switzerland.

Leavitt joked aboard Air Force One that a Qatari jet sounded ‘much better’ at the moment.

The lights in the press cabin briefly went out after takeoff, reporters on board said.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Duke suing QB Darian Mensah, trying to block him from transferring

Darian Mensah shocked much of the college football world when he entered the transfer portal hours before it closed on Friday, Jan. 16, leaving behind Duke and a lucrative name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with the school after just one season.

The Blue Devils aren’t letting him exit without a fight.

The university is seeking an injunction and restraining order in Durham County (North Carolina) Superior Court that would effectively prohibit Mensah from leaving the program. Reigning national runner-up Miami, which is looking to replace outgoing quarterback Carson Beck, is widely presumed to be Mensah’s preferred destination.

A redshirt sophomore, Mensah transferred to the Blue Devils from Tulane after the 2024 season, signing a two-year contract worth a reported $8 million. In its lawsuit, Duke said the deal grants the school exclusive rights to Mensah’s name, image and likeness “with respect to higher education and football” and that the university has “met all of its obligations under that contract.”

Mensah had announced on Dec. 19 that he was returning to the Blue Devils rather than entering the 2026 NFL Draft.

“Contracts mean something,” the introduction of the lawsuit states. “Mensah’s actions violate numerous provisions of his contract with Duke University and disregard his promises and obligations to the University. And, as Mensah agreed when he signed his contract, such breaches cause Duke irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law and, in the event of any such breach, Duke is entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief.”

Mensah’s attorney, Darren Heitner, said in a statement to the Fayetteville Observer, part of the USA TODAY Network, that the judge denied Duke’s request that Mensah be enjoined from entering the transfer portal.

‘This morning, the judge ruled from the bench, pending a written ruling, denying Duke’s request that Mensah be enjoined from entering the transfer portal,’ Heitner wrote. ‘The judge, a Duke basketball season ticket holder, and thus a booster, also recused himself from future proceedings.’

Heitner, who has previously represented and advised other college athletes, is an adjunct professor of NIL at the University of Miami School of Law.

In his first and potentially only season at Duke, Mensah threw for 3,973 yards — the second-highest mark among FBS quarterbacks — 34 touchdowns and six interceptions while helping lead the Blue Devils to their first-ever ACC championship game victory.

Duke claims in the lawsuit that Mensah had promised in his contract with the university that he wouldn’t enroll at another college or compete in athletics at another school. Additionally, the lawsuit states that Mensah that his representatives and hisfamily members would not “initiate contact with admission or athletics staffs at otherinstitutions’ and that he would notify Duke within 48 hours of any contact with officials or representatives of another college.
