Dear Venezuelans in America, I understand the elation of having eliminated Maduro from your homeland. He was one evil fvcker. But please understand, Trump doesn’t care about your freedom. You will not have a democracy. He did it to steal your oil and natural resources. Sorry. 🤷🏻♂️

Does anyone else think we’ve just started an international worldwide power-grab? We’re no better than Putin’s Russia annexing Ukraine for its natural resources under the false pretense of re-unification. And China has essentially been given a green light. This is an onerous start to 2026.

Fact of the Day: US analysts say Fentanyl is almost entirely produced in Mexico, where cartels such as the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation synthesize it using precursor chemicals imported from China. Mexico is the primary exporter of the drug to the US. It’s not about drugs folks.

The biggest surprise of the 21st Century. The pipe bomber was MAGA. Who would have ever guessed? It wouldn’t make sense to waste tax payer dollars to prosecute as he will be pardoned anyway. This is what MAGA calls “law and order”.🙄

The unprovoked attacks on the Venezuelan boats were the decoy. Until proven otherwise, these people were murdered to cover up Trumps lust for bribes.

Trump said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. The President of the United States, is demanding the military’s fealty to him, not our constitution. This is not a drill, it is our new reality.

When Americans elect criminals like Trump & Co. because they convince us they will “Make America Great Again”, this is the outcome. They care nothing about Americans- they’re only in it for the grift.

In the Third Reich, Hitler’s will replaced German law. Whatever he wanted, he did. Life in the early months of Trump’s second presidency hews to this framework in important respects.

Pam Bondi REALLY feels the need to convince others she is not corrupt, which is a great way to tell others how utterly corrupt you are.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

If an enemy of the president can be charged with a federal crime the Department knows it can’t prove, then the Department is rotten to the core. Bondi is unfit for office and as legitimate attorneys leave we can expect more phonies like Halligan to fill in.

A reminder to all of the generals called in for Hegseth’s “emergency meeting” this Tuesday. You will be given a choice this Tuesday. You pledged allegiance to the constitution of the United States of America. Not to any man or king. America is watching. History will remember.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. When the GOP let the ban expire in 2004 they increased by 243% - don’t try to say bans don’t work, the data doesn’t lie.
