Trump single-handily getting an Oxford educated economist elected Prime Minister of Canada at just the perfect time for him to crest a tsunami of anti-American sentiment is probably the funniest/stupidest own goal in international geopolitical history.

Field Yates of ESPN has the Chiefs drafting RB Jeremiyah Love with the 9th pick in his latest mock draft. Edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. goes 10th to the Bengals. Kinda surprised he has both players available at 9. Not many mock drafts do.

President Donald J. Trump announces that the proposed tariffs against Denmark and other countries in Europe meant to go into effect on February 1, will no longer move forward, following a meeting today with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in which a framework was formed for a future deal regarding Greenland.

EUROPE CAN BECOME THE NEXUS OF THE FREE WORLD – LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN 🇪🇺🫡 Europe is under siege from the East, and now from the West. Everything we relied upon is upended. In this moment, Europe has the unique opportunity to become the new nexus of the free world in this emerging geopolitical order. That means talent, capital, ideas and culture flow to Europe, are created in Europe, and are exported from here. That means Europe stands for and defends free speech, free trade, free economies, free science, free societies. International law, human rights, the rule of law, independent monetary authorities, deep unified capital markets, and everything else that used to make the US the leader of the free world. Europe can take the US' place, if we play our cards right. Central to that will be sovereignty. Sovereignty is enabled by hard power, especially power via technological capacity. I am incredibly proud and joyful to play my part in this great geostrategic realignment by helping build the European tech ecosystem. Europe is the cradle of science. We are the birthplace of industry. We are leaders in manufacturing, automation and robotics. We used to be the biggest manufacturing hub and are now second place behind China. We helped build Chinese manufacturing, we sold off our best companies to China (remember KUKA? I do). Now China is crashing our economy with state-funded cheap exports, the Russians cut off Gas which we never should have relied on, and the Americans started an unnecessary trade war over Greenland, thinking they need nobody in this world but themselves. It need not be this way. We can make a change. But Europe is held back. Held back by what? We lack the power to be independent. We lack the power and sovereignty to tell Trump to fuck off. We lack the power to protect Ukraine from Russia, not to speak of Taiwan from China. And the main reason we lack that power is because we lacked the will and courage and foresight to build strategic resources in Europe. All that is changing now. Because we are forced to change. Every European feels it. Everyone is stirred up. Most want to be part of this change. This needs to be a whole-of-society effort. All Europeans, together. Everyone working towards a free, unified, powerful, sovereign Europe. With Fund III, PROTOTYPE will continue nurturing the European tech ecosystem. We will not stop until EU–INC has become European law. We will push for a new common European founder identity of hyperambition in Europe. We will support all kinds of projects. We want more student clubs, we want more makerspaces, we want more places where young people with insane ambition and energy can meet, become friends and build something incredible. Out of Europe, for Europe. For the entire world. Follow along, reach out, take part, launch your own effort. DO SOMETHING. Talking about "waking up" and "why won't somebody do something?" is over. We are WAY past that. We are at the sixth stage of grief: ACTION. Europe needs you. I'm doing my part. Will you? LFG For Europe🫡🇪🇺
