With climate change the red States are going to be uninhabitable and Greenland will transfer into a more temperate place.

Some years ago I was in the negotiating team to sell Alaska back to Russia. We paid 7.2 million dollars in gold in 1867. We and Obama wanted at least 15 million in gold. But Barry insisted, they take all the Palin family or NO DEAL. I remember Putin's response. He almost spit in my face when he said, in English and Russian, "NO WAY IN HELL!". There was no deal made.
