What is it, like four days already and we're still dwelling on Venezuela? At the Victory Girls,
Trump Sends A Clear Message: The Western Hemisphere Is Ours. obj
@obj0x0, "
Celebration paused as Downtown Caracas, Venezuela’s capital is filled with heavy gunfire. sources say it is a coup to remove Delcy Roderiguez as the president of Venezuela following the capturing of Maduro by the USA military." PJM's Sarah Anderson hears
Something Kind of Funny Happened in Caracas. At Calling All Rush Babes,
*Is Venezuela free at last? There are still lots of bad people in place there, and the road to a safe, prosperous Venezuela won't be easy or straightforward. From Quotulatiousness,
Venezuela in the news and
International law is more like International “law.” Don Surber is pleased to see
America feared again "President Trump IS the new world order now." From Tierney's Real News,
Venezuela & RICO.
At Ombre de Oliver, Yes, it is (partly) about the Oil "For once the lefties are correct, but accidentally so." NYPo explains Why fixing Venezuela’s oil industry is the only way to usher in a new era "Venezuela's oil industry is in shambles after decades of socialism." Mike and Jeff show @AgrisAcademy @AgrisAcademy, "My Venezuela experience as head of trading in the region for Cargill. Cargill was/is the leading producer of critical staple ingredients such as flour, pasta, vegetable oil, and rice in VZ. I am not saying I agree with grabbing the dictator, but I did have a front row seat to the damage a kleptocracy did to innocent people. 1. The government took over our "minute rice" facility at gunpoint because we were "gouging" the nation's poor. The government was never able to run the plant. It never ran again. It was returned years later with no equipment inside . . ." News Wax must have a subscription to the WSJ: Trump Hinted About Venezuela Action to Oil Executives. Driscoll at Insty calls it OLD AND BUSTED: Trump targets Venezuela’s oil, US firms stay wary. "The New Hotness? “We seized Nicolas Maduro in order to bring gay marriage to Venezuela, in Tucker’s eyes the most ‘conservative’ country in the New World. You can’t make this stuff up:”" From Fortune, ‘Big Short’ investor Michael Burry says toppling of Venezuela’s Maduro will weaken Russia’s global standing as its oil ‘just became less important.’
Sarah Hoyt at Insty finds DEMOCRATS THINK TRUMP BREATHING IS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE: Democrats Claim Trump Capturing Maduro is an ‘Impeachable Offense’. NYPo, Trump predicts he will be impeached for a 3rd time if GOP loses midterm. Althouse cites Joe Biden, "Let's go after the drug lords where they LIVE!" Steve Guest @SteveGuest, "FLASHBACK: 1989 JOE BIDEN would love what President Trump just did: "Let's go after the drug lords where they LIVE! With an international strike force. NO safe haven for narco-terrorists."" PJM's Matt Margolis remembers Democrats Demanded Maduro’s Ouster Before Trump Delivered. And We've Got the Receipts! and hears Fetterman Cheers Maduro Strike, Blasts Democrats: 'We All Wanted Him Gone.’ Althouse watches The View, "For us, this is a very happy day when we see a dictator who has been part of oppressing and abusing the Venezuelan people for 25 years, when we see him in handcuffs..." "... and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me to tears. It brought me great joy.... I think you can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son of a bitch is out of Venezuela....” From NewsBusters, SecState Rubio SCHOOLS Sunday Shows Over Capture and Extradition of Nicolas Maduro. Matt Vespa at TownHall, Did Marco Rubio Politely Tell ABC News' George Stephanopoulos He Was Being a Moron? Sensurround @ShamashAran, "Oh, so it WAS still leaked, but the NYT and the Washington Post decided to be good Americans? ok, i take it back, *THAT* is the most shocking thing about this." Quote Marina Medvin @MarinaMedvin, "Wow! Although someone leaked the Venezuela plans to the New York Times and the Washington Post, neither media giant published the story, prioritizing the safety of US troops over breaking the story. Kudos to both for their ethics and loyalty."
Althouse reads the NYT and hears The President of Mexico and the President of Colombia react quite differently to Trump's posturing. From Driscoll, CUBA ‘READY TO FALL’ AFTER MADURO’S OUSTING, TRUMP SAYS: "President Donald Trump said Sunday Cuba is “ready to fall.”" wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat, "The argument going around the Internet is that Cuba, Venezuela and probably Iran soon are no threat because they have completely collapsed with no power, no food, no water. Hence any actions against them are pure cruelty. If anything the rich capitalists should bail them out. What this ignores is that these were once very rich countries that ran their economies into the ground with Communism and insane military spending. In a way feeling sorry for these regimes is like pitying a parricide because he's an orphan." At PJM Sarah Anderson sees Cuba in a Panic and VodkaPundit wonders What's Next for Iran? Marco Rubio Needs a Plan... True, but he doesn't have to tell you. From the Globe and Mail (Canada), We need to prepare for the possibility that the U.S. uses military coercion against Canada John Carter @martianwyrdlord, "After years of Canada's governing liberal elite insisting that the country is built on stolen native land, it would be extremely funny if Trump took them at their word and purchased the entire country from Chief Scamming Elk in exchange for a skidoo and a carton of smokes." Quote T.D. Leaker@TdLeaker "BREAKING: SOURCES SAY AFTER LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND COURT RULINGS THE TRUMP ADMIN IS WORKING ON A PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND REPARATIONS PACKAGE TO PURCHASE CANADA FROM FIRST NATIONS." Leslie Eastman at LI, Greenland, Denmark Press Rubio for Fast Meeting Over Trump’s Greenland Quest, "Trump team considering a range of options for acquiring a more robust relationship with Greenland, including a Compact of Free Association." At the New Reform Club, A Theory about Trump and Greenland.

U.S. COAST GUARD HUNTS DOWN RUSSIAN SANCTIONED TANKER IN THE ATLANTIC CHASE AND TAKES IT A U.S. Coast Guard ship just chased down and seized a Russian-linked oil tanker in the North Atlantic. The ship’s name is Marinera (also known as Bella 1) and it was hit with sanctions for carrying oil for Venezuela back in 2020. It’s part of Washington's crackdown on black market oil deals, especially those tied to Maduro or dodging U.S. sanctions. The U.S. just reminded everyone who runs the Hemisphere and it's backyard." And,
CHINA TELLS BANKS: OPEN THE BOOKS ON VENEZUELA "Beijing just quietly told its biggest banks to open their books and reveal how much exposure they have to Venezuela, signaling that even China is getting nervous about Trump’s foreign policy wild card. Apparently, Chinese regulators are asking lenders to disclose their financial ties to Maduro’s regime, after years of oil-backed loans, debt rollovers, and economic lifelines. . ."

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson, "Now that we're all aware that medical fraud is a multi-billion dollar industry in Minnesota, can we get some answers about Rep. Melissa Hortman's murder? Melissa Hortman is the only Democrat to vote against healthcare for illegals. She killed the bill. Hortman and her husband were murdered soon after this vote. Her killer was appointed by Tim Walz. The killer's wife worked for Tim Walz. The killer said Tim Walz ordered the murder in his confession letter. The killer named Tim Walz multiple times in his arraignment. Her killer had 'No Kings' flyers in his car. The guy clearly had a screw loose - but has anyone asked Tim Walz a question about this connection on the record? Has there been an investigation?
Dark things are happening in Minnesota, man." At Althouse,
"Democratic Gov. Tim Walz announced Monday he is dropping his bid for reelection in Minnesota, a dramatic turn for the two-term governor who gained national prominence..." "From
"Walz drops bid for reelection as Minn. governor while Klobuchar considers run/The former Democratic vice presidential nominee stepped aside amid a growing fraud inquiry" (WaPo reports)." And
"Did you and your team of lawyers miss important information about [Tim Walz] during the vetting process. David Marcus @BlueBoxDave, “
Tim Walz will go down in history as little more than an avatar of White guilt — the weak, apologetic eunuch of a White guy that progressives would have our sons become. But today, our sons can clearly see that the real lesson is: ‘Don’t be that guy.’”
DC_Draino @DC_Draino, "
Tim Walz was almost Vice President of the United States. Now he’s dropping out of the Governor’s race in Minnesota in disgrace. All because a 23-year-old kid with a camera and a thirst for justice exposed billions of his fraud. May

I always love when some fascist Democrat resurrects the picture below.

Thanks for the reminder, ex-candidate Hillary!" Quote Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton "Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie.

Senate: Biden FBI Watchlisted Catholic Teacher Walter Kirn @walterkirn, "
The biggest story of last year, and probably the biggest story of the coming year, is the widespread discovery of the fact that we have never been more accountable to government, which can see into our lives with unprecedented clarity and monitor our utterances to the word, while it has never been less accountable to us. On the verge of Artificial General Intelligence, so we're told, we still can't count votes, police billion dollar frauds, penetrate the chambers of elite decisionmaking, or figure out where much of our money is going and what's being done with it. This is the kind of crisis that undermines the basic legitimacy of nations and regimes. How we deal with it, or don't, will determine our fate."

HILTON AXES HOTEL FROM THEIR SYSTEMS AFTER VIDEO SHOWS THEM CONTINUING TO BAN DHS AND ICE AGENTS: "Influencer Nick Sortor, armed with a video recording device,
visited the Lakeville Hampton Inn and quickly learned that the owner and front desk manager, at least, weren’t about to change their unwelcoming stance. In the video posted on X, Sortor asks about available rooms and is met with resistance when he says they are for DHS. “We’re not accepting people from immigration, ICE agents, DHS, onto our property,” the clerk says. “It’s just per management, our ownership.” Sortor points to Hilton’s statement, but the front desk manager indicates he had just spoken with the owner, who informed him there was no change to the selective policy."
Bill Ackman @BillAckman, "
Apparently, @HiltonHotels is terminating the franchise effective immediately. Credit to @nicksortor for his investigative work."
