A heckler yelled out “Leave Greenland alone” during the singing of the U.S. national anthem before an NBA game in London on Sunday.

“Vanessa Williams was performing the Star-Spangled Banner before the Memphis Grizzlies faced the Orlando Magic at the O2 Arena when she was interrupted by the heckle. The intervention drew a round of applause and cheers from sections of the crowd,” The Guardian reported.

The Grammy-nominated singer and actress was well into the tune as she sang, “gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,” when the heckler screamed, “Leave Greenland alone!”

A smattering of applause followed, which soon picked up to loud applause and cheers from many in the audience.

The BBC reported last week that the United Kingdom, joined by Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the Netherlands, sent a limited deployment of troops to Greenland to communicate a message to President Donald Trump to back away from his desire to acquire the Arctic island, which is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

Trump responded by posting Saturday on Truth Social, “We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it.”

“On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown,” he added.

Trump then announced that, starting on Feb. 1, all of the above countries would be charged a 10 percent tariff “on any and all goods” sent to the U.S., with the rate increasing to 25 percent on June 1.

“This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused,” the president recounted.

Trump also referenced his plan for a Golden Dome anti-ballistic missile defense system to protect the U.S., and that Greenland’s location makes it vital for the project.

He envisions the Golden Dome operating in a similar way to Israel’s Iron Dome, which was heavily relied on during the 12-Day War with Iran last summer.

Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday, “NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that ‘you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.’ Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!!”

Last week, a 10-member congressional delegation, made up primarily of Democrats, traveled to Copenhagen to meet leaders from Denmark and Greenland.

Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, who led the delegation, told reporters in Copenhagen, “We spoke about the value of NATO and the commitment to respecting the core principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and self-determination.”

A reporter asked Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, “If Donald Trump is set on buying or occupying Greenland, what can your visit here, what can the Congress do to stop him?”

The lawmaker noted that the U.S. has three branches of government, and “you’re hearing from the executive branch” in the statements that the president is making.

Murkowski pointed out that the legislative branch has the spending power, implying that Trump would need its cooperation to acquire Greenland.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has urged people to be “mindful” when buying from white-owned clothing brands.

During a recent interview clip circulating on social media, Obama says she actively tries to buy clothes from people of “color” in order to “make it a point.”

“If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like, and I know that they’re a person of color, I try to make it a point, but the clothes have to be available.”

“You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes, you know.”

“What does our closet look like and who’s in it? Who are we supporting in it? You know, and I think if you have the money to buy Chanel, then you have the money to buy everybody.”

“And so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.”

The suggestion is just one of numerous racially charged comments by Michelle Obama over recent years.

Last year, she claimed that Americans did not show her and her family “grace” because of their skin color, despite the fact her husband was elected in a landslide.

“You can’t afford to get anything wrong because you didn’t get the—at least until the country came to know us,” she said in an interview with NBC last October.

“We didn’t get the grace that I think some other families have gotten.”

Despite being repeatedly touted as a future presidential candidate, Obama recently put an end to that speculation on the grounds that Americans simply aren’t ready for a woman to lead the country.

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” she said during an appearance at Brooklyn Academy of Music.

“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.”

“You know, we’ve got a lot of growing up to do,” she continued. “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.”

Scandinavians gearing up for military conflict.

While the eyes of the world are fixated on the repercussions of Donald J. Trump’s decision to acquire Greenland – by force if it needs be – in Europe, many are still working diligently to prepare their military and their society for an ‘upcoming war with Russia’.

Case in point: Norway.

The Kingdom’s government has sent out thousands of letters to citizens warning that the armed forces ‘may have to seize their homes and vehicles if war breaks out with Russia’.

I guess we can all agree that once you start sending these warnings to citizens, you are very committed to the war effort – even though there’s no war.

The Telegraph reported:

“Norwegian military officials said the letters were an advance warning to those with assets that may need to be requisitioned. The requisition policy covers vehicles, boats, machinery and property, and around 13,500 ‘preparatory requisitions’ were issued on Monday, valid for one year.

‘The requisitions are intended to ensure that, in a wartime situation, the armed forces have access to the resources necessary for the defense of the country’, the Norwegian military said.”

Now, when Trump says that Russia is endangering Greenland, the Danish, the Greenlanders and every other Globalist under the sun shout in unison that it’s not true. But here we have the Norwegians preparing for exactly this threat from their Russian neighbors.

“Russia and China are seeking to expand their presence in the Arctic region, with the former building up old Soviet bases in the region and expanding its nuclear weapons stockpile on the Kola peninsula.”

Norway’s defense minister:

“’Russia is building up on the Kola peninsula … where one of the largest arsenals of nuclear warheads in the world is located. They [the nuclear weapons] are not only pointed towards Norway, but towards the UK and over the pole towards Canada and the US’, Tore O. Sandvik told the Telegraph.”
