The leftist crew will espouse what ever is contrary to the goals of President Trump. Never admitting he is right. The mass media goes along with that narrative because they do not have investigative journalists to search for the truth. Here is a video of a Venezuelan man expressing the truth and reality that has destroyed his country and his family.
Which makes Trump our best weapon. He has completely broken the Left. Their ignorant hypocrisy has given us every tool in the box to defeat them for the next 2 decades. Thank you Trump, keep up the effective tricks.
Alleged investigative journalists beginning to realize they are fast becoming an endangered species as they demonstrated by their response to the amateur who exposed the somali day care fraud in minn.
More leftist lunacy: The Brits are paying France £500,000,000/yr to help reduce illegal migration across the English Channel. Words on paper, but money in (and out of) the bank. Over 41,000 crossed last year on rubber dinghies. A group of British patriots (whom the reporter of course had to label 'far right' until corrected by the interviewee) have taken it upon themselves to show how easy it would be for the French authorities to be successful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgRWbKm9YEY
I think it would be cheaper to pay them to go back their home country and give them a share of the 500 million pounds! Isn't that what Trump is doing in the USA?
long ago they did that in Belgium, too. Turkish people were paid to go back. Two were filmed when they were back in Turkey - the first had worked in a factory and saved quite a bit, bought an olive yard, a bottling company, and got wealthy in no time, selling high quality olive oil. The second had stuck to his trade. He was a shoe repair man, had done that in Belgium, had no savings, and was a poor shoe repairer in his homeland. Some people have the brains to make a good life for themselves. But quite a few nowadays prefer to live on someone else's merits.
Would work for those already there, but would act as a magnet for those who hadn't yet got their feet wet. Of course, the magnets are already in place with these socialist clowns. The idiocy of their government is infuriating, even from across the pond.
They had forgotten their Judeo-Christian heritage and nature abhors a vacuum, a vacuum that the Islamists are all too happy to fill. Starmer's party is clueless and his leadership is worse than non-existent. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. There have been stirrings of revival there; time will tell, but this clock is ticking.
"As of now, the number of Venezuelans who have fled their country is estimated to be between 7 million and nearly 8 million.
Refugees are leaving Venezuela due to a combination of severe economic collapse, political repression, violence, and lack of basic necessities, leading to one of the largest displacement crises in the world.
Those that stayed are too afraid to speak up. Only the head of the snake was cut off, the rest to the snake is still there.
Economic Collapse
Venezuela has experienced one of the worst economic crises in its history, characterized by hyperinflation, extreme poverty, and a lack of basic goods. Approximately 75% of the population lives on less than $1.90 a day, which is the international standard for extreme poverty. The monthly minimum wage is equivalent to about $15, making it nearly impossible for families to meet their basic needs. "
Reprehensible. Throw the key away for life. President Trump had the guts to do the right thing. When will Americans be educated about what is truly transpiring in countries around the world.
"The UN Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela reported allegations of torture of people detained before and after the presidential election in 2024.
Human rights organizations denounced torture and other ill-treatment in detention centres, including beatings, suffocation, electric shocks and threats, and sexual violence against women.
Children arbitrarily detained after the election were tortured to force them to incriminate themselves by stating on video that they had participated in the protests, according to relatives. In many cases children were detained with adults."
Arbitrary detention and unfair trials...These mass arrests were carried out without either warrants or those detained being caught committing an illegal act.
The Venezuelans have been running their for the last 25 years, the problem is at the top you have around 3000 elites running the country as a Mafia dictatorship which is why 8 million were lucky enough to flee to other countries.
Someday, SOMEDAY, (hopefully) freedom loving Americans will STOP using the term "left" - or "Left" - and START CALLING SPADES, SPADES e.g., liberal, progressive "Democrats" (and) RINO Republicans act like and are at core SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS - which are( politically) the SAME damn thing!
Was fascinated reading our Cuban ethnic Sec.of State wants to reintroduce the Monroe Doctrine that jfk so casually abandoned to the Soviets so they could use Cuba to infect Latin America with their polluted brand of socialism. What goes around, huh.
Have you heard of the Cuban Missle Crisis? We came close to having a nuclear war with the Soviets, and it was only JFK's restraint and use of back channel negotiations that saved us.
Had a friend in the 82 airborne who was on standby then so yes I certainly have heard of it. And I guess restraint is a synonym for knee bending. When those missiles left cuba, so too should all the russians. They stayed there and infected Latin America
No, restraint is not knee bending. JFK did force Soviet missles out of Cuba, at the point of our guns. The restraint was in facing down his own Pentagon generals who wanted to invade Cuba right then, which would have triggered use of those nuclear missles. We are alive today because JFK found another way.
I was recalled to duty because of it! No one today understands how close we came to being incinerated. Now Russia is moving nuclear missiles in the game of chicken.
WOW. I don't think so.. I remember it vividly even though I was young tween.. at the time. JFK.. paid w/ his life.. for that mess.. I am convinced of that. I have read the L Fletcher Prouty book .. retired Colonel.. who talked about it..
It wasn't casually abandoned.. but yes.. the Monroe doctrine has always been in place it is a matter of enforcement. JFK.. in part was killed by the CIA.. I believe that part of the story.. Cuba was in the mix.. but yes I did note that..
Good ones. And regarding the Venezuela memes, ok, I guess. But as someone has said before me, if we can invade Venezuela, capture their leader, bomb the grave of their dictator, and leave in just a few hours, I don't want to hear about how we can't deport millions of Venezuela illegals because some judge said so.
I will go and watch the news.. many of the Venezuelans in Doral.. are saying.. we would love to return their country.. go and watch. :) and many were praying.
For David Nuñez, the regime change offered hope for a long-awaited reunion with loved ones.
Nuñez said he fled to the United States six years ago after being persecuted in Venezuela for his political activism and has not seen his daughters — ages 8 and 17 — since then.
“The most important thing is that we’re going to be able to be with our families soon,” Nuñez said. “At least for me, I haven’t seen my daughters in six years so I have a lot of mixed feelings. I’ve cried a lot. I’m really happy because I know that I’m going to be able to return to Venezuela very soon.”
I like your thinking. We've never succeeded in nation-building. If a country presents a threat to the US, demand they correct it. If they refuse, go in, smash up all the furniture, depose their leader, and then leave.
Whoever the new leader is, tell them, don't make us have to come back.
Every now and then some people need to be reminded that the Monroe Doctrine is a real thing, and it's great having American Leadership that is not afraid to execute some remedial training to remind them.
Drs Malone: where DO you find these gems for us each week! A good collection.
The first thing I thought of when learning of the Maduro capture, was just how long it would take the Libs to bring out their “Free Maduro” signs and protest! Barely a few hours. Guess Soros had his printers ready to go and protesters ready to be paid! I watched a video last night of a college age boy protesting the Imperialism of the US in support of the Venezuelan people. When he was shown the videos of Venezuelan people celebrating Maduro’s capture he called them “AI”! How brainwashed these people are!
Fox News has an article showing that the socialist/communist organizations in the United States began organizing within 10 minutes after the capture. I will try and find the article and post it for you in a bit.
I liked this part the best. "But here is the thing about Trump. He is a master negotiator, and Marco Rubio has turned into one of the best statesmen we have. Together, they can turn the decades-long disaster that is Venezuela into another success story."
Before there was a measles vaccine, when an outbreak occurred in Africa our government would send large supplies of Vitamin A. It didn’t prevent measles but it reduced the severe complications of measles.
I have not seen any mention of the benefits of vitamin A since the development of vaccines.
Ironically Vitamin D3 and zinc as preventative for COVID was never entertained either. Those simple preventatives might have detracted from the COVID scarrative (scare-narrative), and taken away from big-pharma profiteering...
I just can't agree with any one country's government just swooping in and trying to "fix" another country in that manner - just doesn't sit right in my gut.
"snowflake" is a pejorative term for someone who cries when their tea is spilled. Steenroid is using it for an ad hominem, since they don't care to answer your argument. Historically, "fixing" another country by swooping in and kidnapping their leader has not worked well. We will find out if Venezuela hews to the historical norm or is an exception.
Never understood the term. Know snowflakes melt under a hard stare but they also are unique, no 2 look alike, whereas those called that are as identical as if turned out by a cookie cutter.
:) OMG.. are you kidding me. :) don't know where the term came from.. ?
SNOWFLAKES are unique forms of snow.. :) like I explained to my son when he was young boy when it was snowing and I got one on a chilled Magnifying glass..:) we loved skiing.. rofl.
Did you speak up when we did just that to Manuel Noriega in Panama? Did you think Cuba should have been able to let The Soviet Union base Nukes 90 miles off our shores? What do you think the Monroe Doctrine is about. Venezuela was allowing China, Russia, and Iran and Cuba to have military in their country and signing defense pacts with those countries against the United States. Sometimes things get too egregious to let slide no matter how much we don't want to interfere otherwise.
Some context would be nice. Ever since Ceasar Chavez took power in Venezuela, the U.S. has subjected the country to sanctions and coup attempts. This is not a small matter, when the most powerful country in the world tries to wreck your economy and overthrow your government for a few decades running.
Not surprisingly, Venezuela is a hot mess, and it was natural for Maduro to seek help wherever he could get it. We forced him into the arms of China, Russia and Iran, then we say we had to invade the country to stop him from dealing with China, Russia and Iran. That is the basics of what has happened. (And it is well known that even with all that, the Maduro regime was not supporting drug smuggling--that other nations, especially Mexico, are far worse in supporting narcotic shipments to our borders.) We created the victim, and then we blame him for his predicament.
When I was in Panama.. in 2009 for two weeks.. visiting a friend's family.. in Panama City and Chitre.. it was well known that "COCAINE" was the drug of choice and easily gotten.. his family had money and knew the President of Panama at the time.. the Durien Gap was still a jungle... so I learned a lot .. apparently DRUGS are very common in South America.. let's face.. DRUGS are the DRUG OF CHOICE.. all over the world.. and addiction since the time of the OPIUM EATERS.. so.. I DO BELIEVE IT.. :) anyone who has worked in MEDICINE KNOWS THIS.
Well Julie let me explain since it’s obvious you are not understanding that a) Maduro is not recognized as legitimate by the US and even the EU and b) all the IS did was execute a valid arrest warrant. I realize these are hard concepts.
" Das ist die Wahrheit " They say Wisdom comes with age but if that were true, you would be a Genius by now! I am surprised to read your comment, because you must have some understanding in what and why we had to, not just talk about it but clean up all the attacks on our country by savings lives and to prevent our younger generations to die!
"On November 28, 2025, President Donald Trump announced on social media that he intended to issue a "full and complete pardon" to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández. President Trump formally granted the pardon on December 1, 2025, and Hernández was released from prison on the same day, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in prison in June 2024 after a U.S. federal jury convicted him of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras between 2004 and 2022."
Trump is a barbarian who doesn't give a damn about drugs coming into this country. It will be interesting to see how Maduro's defense team uses that pardon in his upcoming trial.
And cocaine isn't the main drug problem in the U.S., it's fentanyl. Is Trump's next trick trying to kidnap Xi Jinping from China, the principal source of the fentanyl?
You do realize that they have been waging war against the US through drugs, terrorism, mass invasion and other crime? We have every right to swoop in and take out the heads of terrorist cells acting against us. Be glad you live in the country they all try to swarm to, but if you build something good others will show up to steal it from you and we are at a breaking point and we need to turn it around. If you really have a problem with it go swap citizenship with someone who desperately wants out of one of those "hell hole" countries. I do think we need a citizenship swap program. There are so many leftists who claim they want to leave, I think we should make them publicly choose to leave. Venezuela was a very wealthy country where the people were living well before this terrorist weaseled his way in and destroyed it.
Based on history, our superior might and civilization grants us "the right". That's why we need to maintain it or be subject to the rule of the CCP, Putin, the cartels, brat dictators like Maduro & the N. Korean one. The world is better off when we set the rules and for decades our own people have been sabotaging us and selling us out. This is what it looks like when we have an administration who isn't going to tolerate the blatant attacks on our country and our people. By the way the Venezuelans are mostly very, very happy that we took down their dictator who destroyed their country. It's the first hope they've had since he managed to connive his way into their government. We need to take down the entire network of NGOs, politicians and bureaucrats who are also a part of sabotaging, subverting and murdering our people and our country's systems. We need to seize all of their assets and we need to keep after them for the next 50 years until they are all gone and we have fixed the damage that they have done to our countries short and long term prospects. We are the beacon on the hill for the whole world. Without the USA protecting our borders and using Trump style measures for International politics, the world is a very dark place. We need to secure our elections because we the people haven't been electing these criminals a lot of the time. Colorado had their state and government stolen from them, they didn't elect those people, California has a lot of nut cases but even here the elections have been largely subverted and fixed.
Below Shel sure gives a dang good case for the USA / Trump taking out a dictator and drug runner like Madura-- or any similar head of state misusing his own country.
Shel likely would not agree with this but, I agree the US does not have "every right" but sure a lot of good reasons, the moral and legal right to enforce our laws on indicted narco traffickers, the power, and far-reaching capability to do this and similar actions around our hemisphere.
The Lesson for similar regimes is another compelling motivation to show this precision execution enforcing US Law anywhere, yet MERCY was shown. Any other country would have executed Maduro and burnt his body on the spot.
Yeah, it may be a reach to say the USA has "every right", but with all those reasons, who cares?
Trump is NOT pulling Maduro in an effort to "fix" Venezuela. He really does not care about Venezuela; he cares about the USA. Since China, Russia, and Iran have virtually taken over this country in "our" Hemisphere of Earth he is using his Executive powers to enforce our drug laws, the 200 year old Monroe doctrine, and prevent narcotics from killing over 70,000 Americans every year. Oh, that is all not to mention preventing the spread of Criminal cabals around this hemisphere of Earth and the rest.
Regardless, Nation Building, if Trump chooses to try it, has a near zero batting average. Let's hope he is able to import Venezuelan's back quickly and eject the Chinks and Russkies right quick so that can happen.
As a veteran, the Maduro mission was absolutely exhilarating, as I read the details. Under Trump, Hegseth, and General Caine, our military is now functioning with a warrior pathos. Hegseth destroying Wokeness and DEI, is showing how impotent the former military leaders were—no more fat generals and dudes in dresses—just warriors.
Thanks Dr. Molone for adding to the delicious news, that this disrupts China, Russia, and Iran! No wonder the democrats hate Trump so much, they are like minded with these tyrants.
Looking forward to the State of the Union Address!!
Let’s not forget the 2025 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE awarded to Maria Corina Machado (the President chosen by the people) for her fight FOR democracy against Maduro’s dictator regime in Venezuela. Her daughter accepted the award as Machado remained in hiding in Venezuela. Very important to keep in mind.
Yes. I would like to know more about her. Obama got the Nobel prize, soooo and 'the People' don't necessarily vote with their brains. I think Trump wants Venezuela to become a safe and prosperous country. Is that his right to do? Hmm. But, I see the point.
I personally don’t want China, Russia or Iran at my back door and I think that US citizens should be looking at the bigger picture! China has a military base in Venezuela, Russia and China are interested in their oil… so why shouldn’t we?
I’m backing President Trump and his team on this. I think it bares to remember that Trump has only been in office for a year! This dictator has been destroying Venezuela for years and now our President is doing something about it!
Btw, I love the selection of memes.. starting with the Statue of Liberty 🗽
The libtards just couldn’t wait to take to the streets… free Maduro my a$$!!!
All the discussion about Monroe Doctrine among commenters made us sheepish. We had heard of Monroe Doctrine, of course, but didn’t know details. So we found this article on National Archives in case others are feeling sheepish 🐑 as well:
P.S. We laughed through the entire “Asian parent” video. Hilarity was much appreciated and much needed this fine Sunday (unusually rainy, no snow, gray, obvious signs of geoengineering messing with the entire Pacific Northwest; our mountains should have much snow and blue skies after snow.)
Anyway, thanks all for the laughs, the wisdom, and the necessary outrage and irony.
Great cartoons (particularly liked the SoL) & commentary, Dr, Malone. You touched on one of the most significant aspects of our time. The closest historical comparison is Patrick Henry, as I understand it. Henry was a great patriot, but apparently lacked perspective (?) or as the old saying goes was willing to throw the baby out with the bath water in order to maintain his idealistic purity aka MTG, Tucker, Bsnnon, Paul, Massi et al. What with the Monroe Doctrine being forced back into the limelight, I have tried to spend some time re-engaging my memory & while the overall basis was to establish America’s primary stake/claim regarding the Western Hemisphere, it also acknowledged the reality that America could not ‘enforce’ its claim. Speaking of the ‘et al’ group I am not quite sure what is driving them other than their own perverted sense of purity. There are no angels here nor has Jesus Christ been reincarnated. I am sick & tired of playing this game of ‘I am gooder than you’ or my goodness trumps your goodness. It doesn’t matter how noble your cause is, if you can’t implement it, it is useless. Henry may have given us ‘give me liberty or death’ but it was Jefferson who outlived him & gave us the Bill of Rights & the constitution on which we have survived for 250 years! Trump is the one at the table, Trump is the one calling the shots, Trump is the one who has sacrificed everything to be ‘Charles in Charge’ & as such I will trust his moral compass.
I grew up in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We took 2 years of Virginia History in elementary school. So, Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
James Madison is known as the "Father of the Constitution" for his significant role in drafting and promoting the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I now live within minutes of both of these US Presidents and James Monroe’s home. I’ve visited each of their homes and found them all fascinating.
I’m retiring this year and plan to visit George Washington’s home. I’m torn as to whether I want to visit Woodrow Wilson’s home, as he was a terrible president. Of course, I’ve visited most of the state, but want to delve deeper into all of her history. I plan to audit some classes at UVA if they will allow a person with conservative politics to sit amongst the wokesters. Happy New Year!
reword: Jefferson "compiled" the Declaration. Jefferson adopted much wording from the Virginia Declaration of Rights, a statement of the inalienable rights of the colonists, written by George Mason. Fortunately, Mason is given some credit outside the Jefferson Memorial in DC.
The leftist crew will espouse what ever is contrary to the goals of President Trump. Never admitting he is right. The mass media goes along with that narrative because they do not have investigative journalists to search for the truth.

That's what happens when one messes with ubiquitous corruption.
Standing against corruption takes a love for what is right and in our I present day cukture, courage.
Yes they did. They treated him as if he was the one defrauding. They are not even embarrassed by how one sided and awful they are.
Too many wordsmiths earning their living by spin the facts to promote hidden agendas. Especially true in healthcare.

Thank you for finding this for us. Blessings.
So glad you found and posted this! Amazing to read! They are so darn organized!
amazing investigative reporting by the ONLY news company that is doing its job.
That is an awesome article. ;) thank you.
Thanks!
Me too.
I liked this part the best. "But here is the thing about Trump. He is a master negotiator, and Marco Rubio has turned into one of the best statesmen we have. Together, they can turn the decades-long disaster that is Venezuela into another success story."
Before there was a measles vaccine, when an outbreak occurred in Africa our government would send large supplies of Vitamin A. It didn’t prevent measles but it reduced the severe complications of measles.
I have not seen any mention of the benefits of vitamin A since the development of vaccines.
Children’s Health Defense docs and Dr. Suzanne Humphries mention vitamin A. Mainstream folks, not so much!
Ironically Vitamin D3 and zinc as preventative for COVID was never entertained either. Those simple preventatives might have detracted from the COVID scarrative (scare-narrative), and taken away from big-pharma profiteering...
I just can't agree with any one country's government just swooping in and trying to "fix" another country in that manner - just doesn't sit right in my gut.
I suggest Pepto Bismol for that. Otherwise grow up snowflake.
What's a "snowflake"?
"snowflake" is a pejorative term for someone who cries when their tea is spilled. Steenroid is using it for an ad hominem, since they don't care to answer your argument. Historically, "fixing" another country by swooping in and kidnapping their leader has not worked well. We will find out if Venezuela hews to the historical norm or is an exception.
Never understood the term. Know snowflakes melt under a hard stare but they also are unique, no 2 look alike, whereas those called that are as identical as if turned out by a cookie cutter.
:) OMG.. are you kidding me. :) don't know where the term came from.. ?
SNOWFLAKES are unique forms of snow.. :) like I explained to my son when he was young boy when it was snowing and I got one on a chilled Magnifying glass..:) we loved skiing.. rofl.
Thanks for your thoughtful response.
Did you speak up when we did just that to Manuel Noriega in Panama? Did you think Cuba should have been able to let The Soviet Union base Nukes 90 miles off our shores? What do you think the Monroe Doctrine is about. Venezuela was allowing China, Russia, and Iran and Cuba to have military in their country and signing defense pacts with those countries against the United States. Sometimes things get too egregious to let slide no matter how much we don't want to interfere otherwise.
Some context would be nice. Ever since Ceasar Chavez took power in Venezuela, the U.S. has subjected the country to sanctions and coup attempts. This is not a small matter, when the most powerful country in the world tries to wreck your economy and overthrow your government for a few decades running.
Not surprisingly, Venezuela is a hot mess, and it was natural for Maduro to seek help wherever he could get it. We forced him into the arms of China, Russia and Iran, then we say we had to invade the country to stop him from dealing with China, Russia and Iran. That is the basics of what has happened. (And it is well known that even with all that, the Maduro regime was not supporting drug smuggling--that other nations, especially Mexico, are far worse in supporting narcotic shipments to our borders.) We created the victim, and then we blame him for his predicament.
When I was in Panama.. in 2009 for two weeks.. visiting a friend's family.. in Panama City and Chitre.. it was well known that "COCAINE" was the drug of choice and easily gotten.. his family had money and knew the President of Panama at the time.. the Durien Gap was still a jungle... so I learned a lot .. apparently DRUGS are very common in South America.. let's face.. DRUGS are the DRUG OF CHOICE.. all over the world.. and addiction since the time of the OPIUM EATERS.. so.. I DO BELIEVE IT.. :) anyone who has worked in MEDICINE KNOWS THIS.
For all that you're saying, I think you are wrong about the drug smuggling. But yes, Mexico and Columbia and Bolivia may all be worse.
It appears they have been put "on notice!"
Thank you for sharing your opinion 🙏
I just wanted to give a different perspective. I like to dialog with people respectfully taking in account their views on a topic.
Absolutely yes! I am interested also in other peoples perspectives.
Go look in a mirror.
For goodness sake 🙄 and you're telling me to grow up smh
Well Julie let me explain since it’s obvious you are not understanding that a) Maduro is not recognized as legitimate by the US and even the EU and b) all the IS did was execute a valid arrest warrant. I realize these are hard concepts.
Thanks for clarifying 👍
" Das ist die Wahrheit " They say Wisdom comes with age but if that were true, you would be a Genius by now! I am surprised to read your comment, because you must have some understanding in what and why we had to, not just talk about it but clean up all the attacks on our country by savings lives and to prevent our younger generations to die!
You ranting on social media isn't saving anybody
You're completely full of shit.
"On November 28, 2025, President Donald Trump announced on social media that he intended to issue a "full and complete pardon" to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández. President Trump formally granted the pardon on December 1, 2025, and Hernández was released from prison on the same day, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in prison in June 2024 after a U.S. federal jury convicted him of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras between 2004 and 2022."
Trump is a barbarian who doesn't give a damn about drugs coming into this country. It will be interesting to see how Maduro's defense team uses that pardon in his upcoming trial.
And cocaine isn't the main drug problem in the U.S., it's fentanyl. Is Trump's next trick trying to kidnap Xi Jinping from China, the principal source of the fentanyl?
Here here! Well said thank you!
You do realize that they have been waging war against the US through drugs, terrorism, mass invasion and other crime? We have every right to swoop in and take out the heads of terrorist cells acting against us. Be glad you live in the country they all try to swarm to, but if you build something good others will show up to steal it from you and we are at a breaking point and we need to turn it around. If you really have a problem with it go swap citizenship with someone who desperately wants out of one of those "hell hole" countries. I do think we need a citizenship swap program. There are so many leftists who claim they want to leave, I think we should make them publicly choose to leave. Venezuela was a very wealthy country where the people were living well before this terrorist weaseled his way in and destroyed it.
Who grants us "every right"? Btw I'm not, by any stretch, a "leftist". I'm not your enemy friend, please don't get caught up in divisive politics.
Based on history, our superior might and civilization grants us "the right". That's why we need to maintain it or be subject to the rule of the CCP, Putin, the cartels, brat dictators like Maduro & the N. Korean one. The world is better off when we set the rules and for decades our own people have been sabotaging us and selling us out. This is what it looks like when we have an administration who isn't going to tolerate the blatant attacks on our country and our people. By the way the Venezuelans are mostly very, very happy that we took down their dictator who destroyed their country. It's the first hope they've had since he managed to connive his way into their government. We need to take down the entire network of NGOs, politicians and bureaucrats who are also a part of sabotaging, subverting and murdering our people and our country's systems. We need to seize all of their assets and we need to keep after them for the next 50 years until they are all gone and we have fixed the damage that they have done to our countries short and long term prospects. We are the beacon on the hill for the whole world. Without the USA protecting our borders and using Trump style measures for International politics, the world is a very dark place. We need to secure our elections because we the people haven't been electing these criminals a lot of the time. Colorado had their state and government stolen from them, they didn't elect those people, California has a lot of nut cases but even here the elections have been largely subverted and fixed.
Glad you were able to get that off your chest. Are you very active in your local government? That's where we can make real change imo
Below Shel sure gives a dang good case for the USA / Trump taking out a dictator and drug runner like Madura-- or any similar head of state misusing his own country.
Shel likely would not agree with this but, I agree the US does not have "every right" but sure a lot of good reasons, the moral and legal right to enforce our laws on indicted narco traffickers, the power, and far-reaching capability to do this and similar actions around our hemisphere.
The Lesson for similar regimes is another compelling motivation to show this precision execution enforcing US Law anywhere, yet MERCY was shown. Any other country would have executed Maduro and burnt his body on the spot.
Yeah, it may be a reach to say the USA has "every right", but with all those reasons, who cares?
Go for it.
Trump is NOT pulling Maduro in an effort to "fix" Venezuela. He really does not care about Venezuela; he cares about the USA. Since China, Russia, and Iran have virtually taken over this country in "our" Hemisphere of Earth he is using his Executive powers to enforce our drug laws, the 200 year old Monroe doctrine, and prevent narcotics from killing over 70,000 Americans every year. Oh, that is all not to mention preventing the spread of Criminal cabals around this hemisphere of Earth and the rest.
Regardless, Nation Building, if Trump chooses to try it, has a near zero batting average. Let's hope he is able to import Venezuelan's back quickly and eject the Chinks and Russkies right quick so that can happen.
As a veteran, the Maduro mission was absolutely exhilarating, as I read the details. Under Trump, Hegseth, and General Caine, our military is now functioning with a warrior pathos. Hegseth destroying Wokeness and DEI, is showing how impotent the former military leaders were—no more fat generals and dudes in dresses—just warriors.
Thanks Dr. Molone for adding to the delicious news, that this disrupts China, Russia, and Iran! No wonder the democrats hate Trump so much, they are like minded with these tyrants.
Looking forward to the State of the Union Address!!
I will second that one. Well said!
. . . and thanks for your service.
Let’s not forget the 2025 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE awarded to Maria Corina Machado (the President chosen by the people) for her fight FOR democracy against Maduro’s dictator regime in Venezuela. Her daughter accepted the award as Machado remained in hiding in Venezuela. Very important to keep in mind.
Yes. I would like to know more about her. Obama got the Nobel prize, soooo and 'the People' don't necessarily vote with their brains. I think Trump wants Venezuela to become a safe and prosperous country. Is that his right to do? Hmm. But, I see the point.
I personally don’t want China, Russia or Iran at my back door and I think that US citizens should be looking at the bigger picture! China has a military base in Venezuela, Russia and China are interested in their oil… so why shouldn’t we?
I’m backing President Trump and his team on this. I think it bares to remember that Trump has only been in office for a year! This dictator has been destroying Venezuela for years and now our President is doing something about it!
Btw, I love the selection of memes.. starting with the Statue of Liberty 🗽
The libtards just couldn’t wait to take to the streets… free Maduro my a$$!!!
Trump and the MAGA administration are master negotiators.
Democrat commies are master baiters.
I especially like this post
All the discussion about Monroe Doctrine among commenters made us sheepish. We had heard of Monroe Doctrine, of course, but didn’t know details. So we found this article on National Archives in case others are feeling sheepish 🐑 as well:
https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/monroe-doctrine
P.S. We laughed through the entire “Asian parent” video. Hilarity was much appreciated and much needed this fine Sunday (unusually rainy, no snow, gray, obvious signs of geoengineering messing with the entire Pacific Northwest; our mountains should have much snow and blue skies after snow.)
Anyway, thanks all for the laughs, the wisdom, and the necessary outrage and irony.
Great cartoons (particularly liked the SoL) & commentary, Dr, Malone. You touched on one of the most significant aspects of our time. The closest historical comparison is Patrick Henry, as I understand it. Henry was a great patriot, but apparently lacked perspective (?) or as the old saying goes was willing to throw the baby out with the bath water in order to maintain his idealistic purity aka MTG, Tucker, Bsnnon, Paul, Massi et al. What with the Monroe Doctrine being forced back into the limelight, I have tried to spend some time re-engaging my memory & while the overall basis was to establish America’s primary stake/claim regarding the Western Hemisphere, it also acknowledged the reality that America could not ‘enforce’ its claim. Speaking of the ‘et al’ group I am not quite sure what is driving them other than their own perverted sense of purity. There are no angels here nor has Jesus Christ been reincarnated. I am sick & tired of playing this game of ‘I am gooder than you’ or my goodness trumps your goodness. It doesn’t matter how noble your cause is, if you can’t implement it, it is useless. Henry may have given us ‘give me liberty or death’ but it was Jefferson who outlived him & gave us the Bill of Rights & the constitution on which we have survived for 250 years! Trump is the one at the table, Trump is the one calling the shots, Trump is the one who has sacrificed everything to be ‘Charles in Charge’ & as such I will trust his moral compass.
I grew up in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We took 2 years of Virginia History in elementary school. So, Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
James Madison is known as the "Father of the Constitution" for his significant role in drafting and promoting the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I now live within minutes of both of these US Presidents and James Monroe’s home. I’ve visited each of their homes and found them all fascinating.
Correction/clarification noted. Thanks 😊
I’m retiring this year and plan to visit George Washington’s home. I’m torn as to whether I want to visit Woodrow Wilson’s home, as he was a terrible president. Of course, I’ve visited most of the state, but want to delve deeper into all of her history. I plan to audit some classes at UVA if they will allow a person with conservative politics to sit amongst the wokesters. Happy New Year!
& Happy New Year to you & kudos on your plans. We could all use a refresher course particularly given our 250th anniversary.
reword: Jefferson "compiled" the Declaration. Jefferson adopted much wording from the Virginia Declaration of Rights, a statement of the inalienable rights of the colonists, written by George Mason. Fortunately, Mason is given some credit outside the Jefferson Memorial in DC.

"The thought of China, Russia, and Iran having a stronghold on our southern doorstep should make anyone pause…"
It certainly make me pause--and perhaps this thought sheds some light on why Russia is so sensitive about Ukraine.
