There are moments in life to just savor. This is one of them.
Apparently, Colombia has refused repatriation flights of illegal aliens. President Trump responds forcefully, in what can only be described as epic, in part due to the timing of this. Colombia is the #1 exporter of long stem roses (and other flowers) to the USA. Valentines Day is about two weeks away. I love Trump!
President Trump (via Truth Social) – I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:
-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.
-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.
-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.
-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.
-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.
These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States! (Source)
Seriously folks, there could not be better timing.
This might be a little salty, but this is FAFO at an exponential level of winning.
“Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.“
Do you realize how important the export of Valentines Day flowers is to the Colombian flower industry, it’s huge. This is epic.
In the aviation industry, the contracts for overnight flower deliveries (Roses) from Colombia on/around Feb 8 to 12th are some of the biggest air cargo logistical operations reoccurring on an annual basis.
Bananas, Coffee and especially Flowers. lolol
“Rose Garden” …nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say-no-more, say-no-more!
Rubio said the flights were approved and then authorization was cancelled mid-flight. That means it wasn’t just a misunderstanding that will get cleared right away. Columbia tried to backstab Trump and the sanction may not be lifted right away…!
Colombian pres is a know criminal himself
Thinking about it.
Perhaps Petro turned back the military planes because he got spooked by the idea that they were full of troops, not returnees.
Seeing as he’ s clearly itching for a fight.
If so, I wonder how he got that idea.
So this was the 30 minute War of the Roses.
🙂 🙂 🙂
I thought it was 39 minutes but who’s counting. 😀
No, this is an opening salvo, by both sides.
Colombian Pres already backed down and is sending his own plane to pick them up. So much winning.
Read a little further downthread.
Customs might find a little of Hunter Biden’s Columbian bam bam in those shipments. DEA might have to schedule a visit with El Presidente.
B💥💥M!!! Makes Elons rocket blasts look like kiddie firecrackers.
I love this President.
Balls of steel.
And a genius at using leverage.
PDJT put the metal to the petals.
ISWYDT, scruffy.
Am remembering what that dictator of Philippines did with a bunch of his criminals a few years back during some of his aerial helicopter flights over the ocean. Wonder if Colombia dictator plans to do same thing before he re-lands his presidential plane back on his country’s tarmac??? Win-Win for BOTH countries.
fafo
Buy chocolates instead of flowers
Coco comes from somewhere down there…?
No no on my Coco. LOL
What makes President Trump’s move so perfect is that it will have the effect of causing an already unhappy citizenry to hate their Marxist leader even more for being so foolish.
I hope that Canada is next??? Our leaders are so incompetent.
DD
The widespread pattern now is feigning incompetence to mask machinations.
Can’t wait for the fireworks. Trudeau and Ford hyperventilating at any provocation.
if el presidente demanded his illegal aliens be treated with dignity and is now sending his plane, then why in the hell did they leave the great and prosperous country of Columbia in the 1st place? Former leftist guerilla turned humanitarian…. pretending much?
Like a BOSS!!👍🏻🇺🇸💪🏻
It’s the 7th day since last Monday and he’s not resting
He’ll rest when the world is fixed. MEGA? Make Earth Great Again
Did you live in Broken Arrow?
No sir
It depends on how our President views these daily activities. Does he see them as work or does he enjoy what he’s doing so much that it’s all recreation to him?
Trump is channeling El Rushbo: Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Sending his own plane was probably Trump’s punishment – Biden flies to pick them up for free, Petro pays to pick them back up.
Its almost like PDJT has supernatural energy for a man his age.
Whoops, this was meant to be a reply to TexSwede above.
Maybe he’s been eating like Elijah – food from an angel
Big mac’s and a coke…
Diet-Coke
UPDATE: Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro Caves to Trump’s Strategic Pressure — Orders Plane to Scoop Up Deportees in a Desperate Bid to Save Face
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/update-colombias-president-gustavo-petro-caves-trumps-pressure/
This is hilarious! He has to make it look like he’s not the bad guy here and save face, because he really messed up big time. If I was PTrump I’d charge him a huge airport tax to land in the USA. Maybe they are, lol. Also, keep some of those declared actions in place like increased scrutiny on Colombian goods coming in. Who knows what might be found.
I wonder where our planes carrying the Colombians are right now. Back In the USA? Or somewhere else.
I can’t take anymore. We are winning too much! Nothing like giving murderers, rapists and criminals a “dignified” plane ride home. Obviously felons can vote in Columbia.
Here’s an update from Charlie Kirk….it gives info TGP does not. Time will tell us exactly what the situation is.
https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1883613781013758367
I also read this X post that is supposedly a translation of a statement made by the President of Columbia. I find the wording of it odd so I don’t know how authentic it is.
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1883630789725937943
If true, as he said, Columbia is open to the 🌎 world then problem solved. ALL criminals go to COLUMBIA!! Winning!!!
.
He’s psychotic!
.
Excellent! But I still won’t be ordering any roses from Colombia anytime soon. Didn’t even know that was a thing.
Love my President.
Federal Government used our own tax dollars to subsidize the destruction of the Rose/Nursery business in NJ.
North Jersey’s Rose City supplied England’s queens, lives on through business signs
https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/morris/2021/01/10/madison-nj-rose-city-supplier-to-queens-england/6589739002/
“Competition from Mexico and Colombia, where farmers were encouraged through subsidies to grow roses rather than coca or cannabis, brought that business to its end. Other factors that drove out the industry included escalating property values as the town was suburbanized, increases in the price of heating oil in the 20th century and air transportation opening the region to growers on the West Coast and in Central and South America, Coultas said.
Despite what industry insiders have called an inferior product with a shorter lifespan due in part to extended travel time, the cheaper roses took root.”
Bring back our rose grow8ng industry
Sorry honey, I guess you’re getting carnations this year for Valentines day, they do come in red though.
I ready to do a lot of lol-ing for the next 4 years.
I told my husband no roses as long as Gustavo Petro is president of Columbia. We’ll have to research what else come from there to see what else we can boycott.
Marigolds would be ok, too…or Mums…
Oh yuk.
.
She won’t mind if you give her jewelry.
.
I prefer Carnations! They last longer and keep their fragrance.
She is front-&-center here for it –
they’re both here to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum – and they’re all out of bubble gum.
President Trump threatened increased scrutiny of Colombian shipments. No visas.
Colombian Cartels sensed disruption to their business.
Cartels told El Presidente to stand down.
Too late for that.
The enhanced scrutiny should stay on principle.
Winnamins!!
Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love getting up with a hot cup of coffee, reading the news. It’s a beautiful time of redemption. Thankful to God For President Trump & his team of masculine MAGA men! (And women) Hegseth, RFK, Jr, Tulsi, Holman, and especially Dr Sundance, leading the charge! Thinking how Trump’s story is not unlike Joseph. Sat in a place of authority, all but killed (by his own), thrown in prison, & restored to greatness. Trump & MAGA are made for such a time as this; destroying corruption, greed, perversion, & wickedness. Peculiarly how God chooses to partner with man to bring about His will.
A weak columbia president found out, a pair of two’s never beats four Aces.
Valentines Day is a big flower day, but Mother’s Day is really the biggest. You have to figure, not everyone has a sweetheart, but everyone has a mother.
Easter is a massive floral holiday as well!
Not ‘everyone’.
Now any other country that refuses to take back their illegal aliens will think twice. President Trump means business.
Liberal-Marxist bluster that I will enjoy being wiped off very soon.
There are suggestions Delta Force is geared up and ready to go.
Source?
Or it ain’t so.
Delta Force is always ready,and that’s ..SO!!

Suggestions only . . .
It’s not like Delta Force is going to broadcast before striking.
The optics need to be right though.
I have a feeling Petro will provide, because he’s an idiot.
BTW, did you ever see the McAfee interview where he talks about providing free computers to a certain Caribbean country but loaded with backdoor spyware, and he soon found out the Interior Minister or some such was the biggest drug trafficker, etc?
I’d lay good odds Petro is one of the the biggest drug and child traffickers in Colombia.
Here ya go, Colkitto! Petro just invited NJ to produce those beautiful roses again with his 50% tariff 🙂 Go, New Jersey!
And that my friend is the best one I’ve read for the day! Kudo’s mate!
Love at first sight!
🌹
Someone thinks a lot more of himself than he should.
Interesting invocation of Sacco & Vanzetti, and Noam Chomsky
But the true nugget is about the Panama Canal.
I guess China and the Cartels are going to fight to the last Colombian and Venezuelan.
ROFLOL!!!! We can get flowers and coffee elsewhere. Suck it up buttercup!
If anyone knows about “coups “it’s PDJT.. Don’t temp him..It’s AMERICA FIRST stupid..🫡
Unlike the WH squatter previous, President Trump isn’t napping.
There is no price which can be put on this sort of messaging for those who may think President Trump is bluffing.
He isn’t.
And now they know 😎
Salty?
Of course….
But sometimes there’s nothing which hits the mark like this.
I think this movie scene best portrays the subject matter of this article…
And yes, I know some people are going to get pi$$y over the fact it’s Deniro. I get it. I turned my back on this imbecile 8 years ago. These movies are great, and life is short. I won’t deny myself because of this a$$hole!
Now I think of him as nothing more than an IDIOT SAVANT! You wouldn’t want to beat up on retarded guy would you?
This exactly what we voted for.
Indeed!!
1,000 up votes!!!
Ha ha!
I like it. Regime change then broad spectrum defoliant.
It’s nice to be on the High side of it this time.
They didn’t expect the behemoth to be so agile.
As a former college writing teacher, I struggled to find the proper syntax and grammar to express what I’m feeling.
I decided on, ‘This is f–king AWESOME!’
😄
Golf clap….
Excellent pop quizz. What is an expletive?
Hell if I know.
I had a small company back in the 90’s, we imported roses/flowers from Columbia and sold them in grocery stores. Valentine’s week was unbelievable. We temporarily tripled the number of employees, slept on the floor overnite to catch a few hours sleep. I’m surprised [shouldn’t be] that Sundance knows just how huge the import flower market is! This time of year is what literally makes or breaks the flower fields of Columbia.
Not to worry, Ecuador and others are capable of filling in the gap. Although probably at a premium. (I had to stop ordering from Columbia because my only supplier was busted and shut down for packing drugs in the flower boxes to their USA drug distributors)
Did the same business in 1991. Sourced premade bouquets and long stem roses direct from Colombia from a company called UltraFlora. Had an inspection from a local city of Portland USDA employee early feb 1992 who shut me down due to a tropical seed bug infestation, about a week before valentines. Still got my shipment of ultra long stem roses(4’ tall and amazing) and sent my employees out on the streets of Portland to sell them…..and a freak snowstorm hit at 10am. City shut down. All my 10k of long stem roses flopped due to the cold. Yes, Valentines was a grind and 92 was my last one. Good times.
Taking care of business! President Trump only has 4 years to implement sweeping change, and time flies too fast. Make the repercussions known swiftly and get results!
God speed, President Trump!
love it…
Still laughing…
Make New Jersey Roses Great Again!
Colombia is the #1 exporter of long stem roses (and other flowers) to the USA. Valentines Day is about two weeks away.
Nicely timed.
I have bought the bouquets from Costco because of their inexpensive price, but I have never taken the time to see where they are sourced from. I am going to pay more attention now. It shouldn’t surprise me if they are imported. I live in Florida, and get oranges from Costco that have said South Africa before!
Frankly, because of Costco’s stance on DEI, I am reluctant to spend as much $$ there as I have in the past.
I stopped going to Macy’s and Target.
I can to the same to Costco and happily take my purchasing power elsewhere.
I thought Target stopped DEI, like just waiting for an excuse?
Target is still Woke…
” Flower Flights ” Came in Usually 3am to Opa Locka and the Few Other Distribution Points via DIRECT FLIGHTS from Bogota and Medellin
i grew up in Opa-Locka, 50’s-70’s. Nice place then.
Hell hole now.
I beg your pardon…I never promised you a rose garden.

Awesome. Get’em President Trump.
Trump beat the shlit out of Colombia while playing a round of golf. Boss.
He takes walking & chewing gum to a whole new level 😀 😀 😀
Now PDJT should insist the Colombian President send his own planes to pick up the Border Jumpers.
Dear Columbia: Look before you leap.
Let’s see how long Columbia will continue with the position they have taken. We have the ability to destroy their economy should they pose a threat to our security.
Hey El Presidente of Columbia:
Daddy’s home.
FAFO.
This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. Psalm 118:23
UPDATE:
Colombia agreed to pick up these illegals but is NOT yet agreeing to future deportation flights. All sanctions are moving ahead until they relent.
Don’t mess with America.
AM: Columbia refused deportation flights.
Midday: Trump slams down on Columbia with tariffs, visa restrictions, and other punitive measures, with more to come.
PM: The Columbian President responds:
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1883630789725937943
This word comes to mind: “grandiloquence : a lofty, extravagantly colorful, pompous, or bombastic style, manner, or quality especially in language”
(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/grandiloquence)
PM Update: The Columbian President folds.

This is becoming quite entertaining.
Maybe the Columbian President was still on his morning rush from Columbian coffee and cocaine/weed with his first response, then came down and realized what was happening. Bummer, man.

Quite entertaining is a HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT!!!
Thank you for the timeline and links, perfect!
This is so much fun!
Wonder how this is playing in Panama, Greenland, and elsewhere?
The Greenlanders are probably laughing over a pint!!! The Danes, on the other hand…
Rational Greenlanders are probably thinking about the MILLIONS of buck$ each and every one of their 56,000 residents could pocket if they sold their chunk of real estate to the U.S.
Similar to the Alaskan Permanent Fund but on steroids.
And I do not think the Greenlanders need any repatriation landings.
They could probably move to the U.S. or any where else of their dreams a live like king sin warm weather. A no brains.
This!
My impression of Greenlanders that they are unhappy with the Danes and the Danes do not care for Greenlanders. They care about the land and nothing more. So, I would expect the Greenlanders to be supportive of Trump and the Danes are filled with jaundice, especially now, towards Trump.
I mean really: This talk of the importance of Greenland has going on and on for decades and the Danes have done nothing. Literally, nothing.
The European Danes are only 9% of the population of Greenland. The other 91% are Inuits (Eskimos) which Denmark supports at about $25,000 each every year. All we will do is substitute our money for Denmark’s and the Inuits will hate us instead of hating European Danes.
Not much of a deal for us but WTF do I know?
If the alternative is China controlling the area, it may be better for us to pay the money
A response would be too long for this discussion. Can you point me to long article or accurate documentary about the people.
I like many are quite interested.
Greenland: Importing Yet Another Underclass, by Gregory Hood –
There are many good reasons to acquire Greenland. Arctic shipping lanes will be increasingly important in the future. Greenland contains natural resources that the American economy needs, and we could exploit them more effectively than Denmark. In geopolitical terms, if America does not secure access, a rival most likely will. There is also a more mystical, and even metaphysical, justification. America is fundamentally a frontier nation.
Greenland may technically be a Danish territory, but it is not Norse. About 89 percent of the population is Inuit. The Thule Inuit population arrived in Greenland around 1000 AD, about the same time as the Norse settlers, represented most notably by Erik the Red. However, they stayed, while most of the Norsemen left. The Danish claim to Greenland was not truly resurrected until the 18th century, when a missionary, Hans Egede, re-established contact between Greenland and the Norse, who by then had been thoroughly Christianized. He founded Godthaab, the capital, now called Nuuk. The Danish granted Greenland home rule in 1979, but this did not reconcile the Inuits and the Danes, and the changing of the name of the capital was just one example.
Denmark gives Greenland more than half of its public budget every year with a block grant of about $511 million. Total subsidies from Denmark to Greenland each year are about $17,500 for each of the territory’s mere 56,000 residents. This does not include what the Kingdom spends on defense, an amount that was recently increased by about $1.2 billion. Greenlanders are also full citizens of Denmark and enjoy the services that come with being part of one of the world’s Nordic welfare states.
However, while many Americans might rejoice to see the flag advance, whites may have second thoughts if all we incorporate is yet another resentful population. Denmark’s efforts at “decolonization,” taken in the aftermath of World War II, seem to have garnered only resentment. While Greenland enjoys autonomy and subsidies, this is not enough.
The Danes did try to raise Intuits as Danes after World War II, with an initial attempt actually to postpone teaching in Greenlandic. In one notorious case, Intuits were separated from their families and sent to Denmark to be raised as Danes. However, that did not work, and is another example in the long history of white people refusing to understand that only white people can be white people. The misguided attempt at assimilation, including that so-called “Little Danes” experiment, is now more fodder for a victimhood culture. The Danish government officially apologized in 2022.
On June 21, 2020, amid calls for Greenlanders to “decolonize our minds,” a statue of missionary Hans Egade was vandalized with the word “Decolonize” written in red paint. Seemingly gluttons for punishment, Denmark set up a joint commission with Greenland in 2022 to investigate claims of wrongdoing in its “colonial history,” and to publicize the results. A burgeoning academic subculture of “decolonization” is already underway, with texts and lectures blaming Denmark for Greenland’s high suicide rate and alcoholism. Incorporating Greenland into the United States would no doubt supercharge that movement.
The truth is simple: We want Greenland; we do not want Greenlanders. However, the United States could probably absorb another troubled, but relatively small, population of non-whites complaining about white racist Americans. The Greenlanders themselves would have to get to the back of a very long line. It would not break us, and the benefits might well outweigh the costs. This is not an existential issue for white advocates. However, the costs should not be ignored.
We would be incorporating an overwhelmingly non-white population whose resentment and dependence would be transferred from Denmark to the United States. It is likely America will be able to get everything it wants from Greenland without the trouble of having to babysit Intuit for the rest of our national existence. To make America great again ultimately means making America white again. Taking on more than 50,000 Inuits would not help in that mission, especially with a highly developed DEI framework in government, business, and academia already in place. I am not opposed to Empire, which I regard as inevitable, but America was built by territorial acquisition by our people, not by taking on yet more dependents.
https://www.unz.com/ghood/greenland-importing-yet-another-underclass/
Greenlanders and their mincy manhood rulers the Danes are headed for trouble. Xhina and Russia would be a lot worse to deal with than the US. But Danes long ago started taking massive cash from Xhina like Africa.
PDJT to do list. Mon: Buy Greenland. Tues: Annex Canada.
Canada needs to be 51st state— not annexed. We DO NOT want a North American Union (NAU) like the EU! Horrible!
Sunday: spank Columbia
Wonder how this is playing in CA with Newsom, re the two conditions for relief $$…
