The arrogance, incompetence and lying in this administration is astounding. Maybe if Tulsi has such a problem with her memory, she should be declared unfit for such an important high level position. Seems that’s the case. Keep up the good work Olivia.

The signal chat happened only a couple weeks ago. Not remembering is not credible.

Olivia, your background knowledge from the previous orange man-baby’s administration is invaluable in analyzing the current situation. So too is your expertise and intelligence regarding why leaving out certain aspects of this report is putting Americans in peril. I always learn so much from you either in your writings or when I see you interviewed by someone else. Thank you for this clear and concise explanation.

Your background info is so crucial, Olivia. It seems most of the so-called mainstream media are treating Trump's Greenland obsession as a joke -- but we know from long experience that Trump's mind is like a jackdaw's nest: full of info bits picked up from here, there, and everywhere. By showing the context of these bits, you've demonstrated that the Greenland obsession is a critical clue to what this misbegotten administration is planning.

There's not! There's an Air Force/Space Force base located at Thule(?) in far northwest Greenland.

I always enjoy your work and analysis, but the new black background with white text is harsh, especially for those with vision issue. It would be nice if Substack offered more reading style options for those who need them.

You are welcome, and thank you for responding to my comment. I have seen that over the past couple years that many websites have gone from standard and functional to pretty and dysfunctional, especially for anyone who doesn't have or no longer has the visual acuity they once had. Keep up the great work! Your behind the scenes knowledge brings some clarity to these cloudy times.

Amazing and very important column. Thank you. This is truly shocking to a former naval officer entrusted with top secret documents back in the day.

Please continue to share your knowledge of what went on and what is going on in Trump’s White House.

I couldn’t agree with you more Olivia, it is derelict of duty, climate warming getting worse every year the North Pole melting the opening up of naval shipping routes. Russia wanted to take advantage of this in order to use their regular subs and to drill oil and gas out of the Arctic sea with their help from the boys from Exxon Rex Tillerson…. White supremacy groups are the biggest national threat the ones that pulled off the January 6 insurrection they kill five cops beat them with bat spray them.

Thank you for this. So many vitally important issues are slipping through the cracks as we contend with the toxic clown show.

I’m very grateful to have a reliable source for information about national security issues, particularly given your experience with many members of the current administration. You

Ok. This is above average. I'm glad I found you again, Olivia. I kind of lost track of you after the extraordinary clusterfuckery of late. I am definitely down for your laser-sharp analysis and straight delivery.

Thank you for making the threat assessment and deletion of climate change the focus of today’s post. The reality of climate change was established by scientists decades ago. We are now seeing extreme weather in the United States on a regular basis, and have experienced unsafe air quality due to Canadian wildfires the last two summers. Global cooperation, not denial, is desperately needed.
