Trump and his current administration has been keeping all the dumb white college "educated" retards in the media and at home chasing their own fucking tails for almost a year now, not realizing that they were all being played.

Behind the scenes, the Dominoes were all being lined up while nobody was watching any of it.


A majority of Americans don't even realize how much the People of Venezuela are cheering what has just happened this weekend, and that's because our media is still desperately trying to hide facts like these in its final dying breaths.


Gas prices are about to drop. And not just a couple of cents.

And this is one of the ONLY ways of bringing prices down meaningfully and with any longevity that doesn't involve a very painful period of deflation. It will have a ripple effect on prices of everything up and down the board, and most immediately on produce.

And hopefully a lot of politicians on both sides of aisle, both current and former are roused out of bed just like Maduro and his wife were, and carted away to the prison where they belong as well. (I now have my suspicions that this will start ramping up in a few months, and some big arrests, possibly also related to the Epstein files as I've been predicting all along, are going to be held onto until the last few weeks before the mid-terms).


Trump just showed everyone that he and his team are unafraid of the Deep State.

This wasn't war on Venezuela. It was Venezuela's liberation.

And my, my, my are there going to be a lot of secrets to tell that will finally be told by the time this is all over.

(You'd better keep a good eye on Maduro, Trump. Dead hoes tell no tales.)


I've been saying for a a while now all I've ever wanted was for people to live the life here that I had growing up, and not spend anymore time living in this depressing, chaotic husk of what America once was. For music and movies to be happy and optimistic again. For people to have real hope and a reason to want to listen to happy and optimistic music and movies and not dismiss it outright because that just isn't the world they were growing up in.

A couple of generations missed out on that. But maybe we can give it to the young Gen Alpha and the ones who come after them (Please don't call them Generation Beta... If you're going to use that name, give it to the Millennials who deserve it).


If things go right here, Donald Trump could go down as one of the Greatest American Presidents in history.

And all the bullshit that the Left has put him through will just be more to bolster the tale.


Here's hoping we get more music like this over the next ten years... It's been a long time.

The Real Donroe Doctrine

Seeking cash and an ego boost, not regime change

By Paul Krugman | Jan 05, 2026

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-real-donroe-doctrine

For Americans of a certain age, the snatch and grab abduction of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s president, brings back memories of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, in some ways with good reason.

Almost everyone now sees Iraq as a cautionary tale about the lies of the powerful: We were taken to war on false pretenses. Almost everyone also thinks of Iraq as a prime example of the power of delusional thinking on the part of the powerful themselves. Slogans of the time — “We will be welcomed as liberators”; “Mission Accomplished” — are now routinely used ironically, to denote foolish projects doomed to catastrophic failure. And Donald Trump’s Venezuela adventure is another tale of lies and delusion.

But in other ways the Trump/Venezuela story is very different from the Bush/Iraq story.

Two days after the abduction, it’s clear that Trump wasn’t seeking regime change, at least not in any fundamental way. He’s more like a mob boss trying to expand his territory, believing that if he knocks off a rival boss he can bully the guy’s former capos into giving him a cut of their take.

If that sounds harsh, bear in mind that before Trump stepped in, Maduro and his fellow Chavistas — the movement founded by Hugo Chavez — faced strong opposition from domestic pro-democracy forces led by María Corina Machado. Edmundo González, a Machado ally, clearly won Venezuela’s 2024 election, only to have Maduro steal it. So, if Trump wanted regime change he would be supporting Machado and her movement.

But in his triumphal Saturday press conference, Trump sneeringly dismissed Machado, declaring that “it’d be very tough for her to be the leader, she doesn’t have the support. She doesn’t have the respect.”

Instead, he appeared eager to support Maduro’s second-in-command, Delcy Rodriguez, implying that she was ready to cooperate with his designs. Indeed, during the press conference and afterward Trump repeatedly declared that he was already “running” Venezuela.

But it took only a few hours for Rodriguez to make him look like a fool: Later that day she and other leading members of the Maduro government denounced U.S. actions and declared on TV that Maduro is still president of Venezuela.

Oops. By Sunday Trump was threatening to punish Rodriguez for her defiance.

How did Trump make such a big miscalculation? Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants like Pete Hegseth, who has repeatedly described him as “the greatest president of my lifetime.” He lives in a self-aggrandizing fantasy world — a world in which he has a 64 percent approval rating and is a contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Washington Post reports that Trump turned on Machado because she committed the “ultimate sin” of accepting her genuine Nobel prize.

Anyway, the core of Trump’s fantasy involves imagining that he really is the character he played on The Apprentice, a master of the Art of the Deal.

Given Trump’s belief that he can always out-deal, out-bully and out-cheat everyone else, it’s easy to see how he interpreted some conciliatory conversations with Rodriguez as a signal that she would be his obedient puppet.

Trump’s self-image as the ultimate dealmaker explains why he was so ready to believe, falsely, that he controlled Venezuela. It also explains his insistence that by, as he imagined, seizing Venezuela, he had gained a valuable prize in the form of its oil. “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.” Many Trump critics share his view that there’s a lot of money to be made from Venezuelan oil and condemn his intervention as an attempt to steal that money.

But you know who doesn’t think there’s a lot of money to be made in Venezuela? Oil companies. They see a dilapidated infrastructure that would cost billions to repair. They don’t see a stable political environment above ground. And while Venezuela has large oil reserves, much of its oil is “extra heavy, making it polluting and expensive to process.”

So, why did Trump have Maduro abducted? There were surely multiple motivations. Fantasies of dominance and control and dreams of oil-soaked riches played their part. So did ego. The snatch gave Trump an opportunity to strut, and assuage his Obama envy: Trump’s minions set up a “war room” at Mar-a-Lago that looks as if it was designed to let him emulate the famous photo of Obama and his officials tracking the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Obama’s team did not, however, have X/Twitter on the screen behind them.

Trump also surely hoped that abducting Maduro would help him politically. The abduction pushed the Epstein files out of the headlines for a few days. And Trump is definitely trying to wag the dog, seeking a boost in popularity as the nation rallies around the flag. However, he’s almost certain to be disappointed. Before the abduction, Americans overwhelmingly opposed military action in Venezuela. Early polling since the abduction remains highly unfavorable:



Note that three times as many independents strongly oppose the U.S. running Venezuela as strongly support it. And these numbers will get worse as the public realizes how little was achieved.

In any case, it’s important to understand that the confrontation with Venezuela has nothing to do with the national interest. It’s all about Trump’s self-aggrandizing delusions. And it will accomplish nothing except to make America look even less trustworthy and weaker than it did before.

Trump’s “Don Roe Doctrine” Turns Canada Into His Worst Nightmare | Jimmy Kimmel

Jan 4, 2026

Hello to all the loyal viewers and die-hard fans of Jimmy Kimmel — the people who can watch five minutes of Trump talking about foreign policy and instantly tell the difference between a real doctrine and a drunk guy doodling on a placemat at Mar-a-Lago. I hope you’re somewhere comfortable right now, maybe half-sliding off the couch with your phone in one hand and a snack you definitely didn’t intend to eat this late in the other, because tonight we’re going to talk about something that sounds like a bad joke, feels like a comic-book supervillain plan, and is actually being treated like a real threat by an entire country: Donald Trump’s so-called “Don Roe Doctrine” and how it just turned the Canadian people into some of the most determined Trump-resisters on the planet.

If you somehow missed it, here’s the quick horror recap. After Trump’s unlawful invasion of Venezuela — you know, that little “kinetic action” he announced like he was plugging a hotel opening — he walked into a press conference and bragged that he’d basically upgraded the Monroe Doctrine. Remember that old 19th-century policy that said the Western Hemisphere was kind of our neighborhood and European empires should back off? Trump stands there, sweaty and proud, and declares that under his “new national security strategy,” American dominance in the Western Hemisphere “will never be questioned again,” and that they now call it the “Don Roe Doctrine.” He even stumbles over the name like he’s not sure if he’s saying “Monroe,” “Don Roe,” or “Don’t Know,” which is honestly the most accurate version.

Because he was bored while waiting for the Venezuela invasion to begin, Trump was also spreading this unrelated lie:

This wasn't war on Venezuela. It was Venezuela's liberation.

If things go right here, Donald Trump could go down as one of the Greatest American Presidents in history.
Trump declared Sunday evening that the US was running Venezuela through its pressure on Rodríguez, now the acting president. “Don’t ask me who’s in charge, because I’ll give you an answer, and it’ll be very controversial,” he told reporters. “It means we’re in charge. We’re in charge.”

The spectacle of an American president claiming to be “in charge” of a sovereign nation around 1,000 miles from the US mainland — even if it is not strictly true — shows just how fundamentally Trump has hardened the country’s posture to the rest of the world and reveals his ambition to wield expansive power. And Trump apparently feels emboldened by the Venezuela raid, telling reporters Sunday that Colombia is “very sick” and that “Mexico has to get their act together.”

The president’s moves in Venezuela foretell a new global system.

By Anne Applebaum | January 5, 2026, 9:37 AM ET

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/trumps-american-dominance-ma
y-leave-us-with-nothing/685503/

Back in 2019, Fiona Hill, a National Security Council official in the first Trump administration, testified to a House committee that Russians pushing the creation of spheres of influence had been offering to somehow “swap” Venezuela, their closest ally in Latin America, for Ukraine. Since then, the notion that international relations should promote great-power dominance, not universal values or networks of allies, has spread from Moscow to Washington. The administration’s new National Security Strategy outlines a plan to dominate the Americas, enigmatically describing U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere as “Enlist and Expand,” and downplaying threats from China and Russia. Trump has also issued threats to Denmark, Panama, and Canada, all allies whose sovereignty we now challenge.

In some ways, the military raid that took the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro into custody does resemble past American actions, especially the ouster of the Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega in 1989–90. But the use of this new language to explain and justify the Venezuelan raid makes this story very different. At his press conference on Saturday, Trump did not use the word democracy. He did not refer to international law. Instead, he presented a garbled version of the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, a policy originally designed to keep foreign imperial powers out of the Americas, calling it something that sounded like the “Donroe Document”: “Under our new National Security Strategy,” he said, reading from prepared remarks, “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again.”

Toward this end, he said the United States would “run” Venezuela, although he didn’t say who would actually be in charge. Viceroy Marco Rubio? Governor-General Pete Hegseth? Asked about María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Trump was dismissive. “She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect within the country,” he said.

Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, leads a movement whose presidential candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia, received two-thirds of the vote in the 2024 election. Although the state-controlled media backed Maduro, and although Maduro’s police and paramilitaries harassed, arrested, and murdered their supporters, Machado and González not only won; they collected documentation from polling stations proving that they had won. Maduro never produced any such proof. He declared victory anyway.

For the moment, Trump isn’t interested in identifying the legitimate leader of Venezuela. The administration is instead hinting that the U.S. might work with Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, who would presumably keep Maduro’s regime intact—not regime change, in other words, just dictator change. But Trump isn’t trying very hard to provide legitimacy for his own actions either. Before kidnapping Maduro, he did not consult with Congress, U.S. allies, or Venezuela’s neighbors, many of whom might have wanted to contribute to a solution. Although his administration has described this action as a criminal arrest, and has justified it with an indictment for drug smuggling, this isn’t part of any consistent policy. Trump just pardoned the former president of Honduras, who was legitimately indicted on drug charges six years ago.

None of this is logical, but it isn’t meant to be: Like the Party in 1984, the would-be dominators of the Western Hemisphere seem to feel no need for logic. If might makes right, if the U.S. gets to do what it wants using any tools it wants in its own sphere, then there is no need for transparency, democracy, or legitimacy. The concerns of ordinary people who live in smaller nations don’t need to be taken into account, because they will not be granted any agency. Their interests are not the concern of the imperial companies that want their mineral resources, or the imperial leaders who need the propaganda of conquest to keep power at home.

Trump’s War

The invasion of Venezuela is not law enforcement; it is imperialism, pure and simple.

David Cole | January 3, 2026

https://www.nybooks.com/online/2026/01/03/trumps-war-venezuela/

“It was a brilliant operation, actually.” So claimed Donald Trump early this morning in a phone call with The New York Times about the US military’s overnight invasion and bombing of Venezuela, culminating in the abduction of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who have been brought to New York to face an indictment for drug smuggling.

It was an illegal operation, actually. Illegal on so many fronts that it can be challenging to keep them straight. First, and most importantly, it violates the bedrock rule of international law, which prohibits nations from attacking other sovereign states except when authorized by the UN itself or when acting in self-defense. Trump has invoked self-defense for all his aggressive actions against Venezuela, from summarily executing at least 115 people in unprovoked assaults from the air on boats alleged to be carrying drugs in international waters, to destroying a loading dock in the country itself and, now, bombing Caracas and abducting Maduro. The basis for that claim, Trump insists, is that Maduro has facilitated the smuggling of drugs into the United States, and that those drugs in turn kill thousands of Americans each year. But self-defense applies only in response to an actual or imminent armed attack, and whatever else drug smuggling might be, it is not even conceivably an armed attack. (According to US records, moreover, Venezuela is not even a source of fentanyl, the lethal drug that has been the agent of many of those overdose deaths and that Trump recently labeled a “weapon of mass destruction.” It mostly comes from Mexico.) Quite simply, Venezuela has not attacked the United States. The only nation with a self-defense justification here is Venezuela.

The attack also violated the US Constitution, which gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war and authorize the use of military force. The only situation in which presidents can constitutionally conduct unilateral military action is, again, in self-defense against an ongoing or imminent armed attack. The Venezuelan operation also violated the War Powers Resolution, which requires the president to notify Congress before introducing troops into any situation of ongoing or imminent hostilities.

The fact that Maduro was indicted doesn’t remotely authorize the military action. First, this was not a mere law enforcement operation; it was regime change. In a press conference earlier today, Trump admitted as much: “We don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years,” he said. “So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition. And it has to be judicious, because that’s what we’re all about.” He singled out one aspect of that “transition” in particular:

As everyone knows, the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust…. We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies—the biggest anywhere in the world—go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so.

That is not law enforcement; it is imperialism, pure and simple.

Second, trying Maduro contravenes the principle of international law that heads of state are absolutely immune from trial in the courts of a foreign country. Trump should know; after all, he successfully argued in the US Supreme Court that he himself had immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” in his own country, even after he left office. Yet if what he is doing to Maduro is lawful, it would be just as lawful for another nation to capture Trump and put him on trial in their own courts.

*

Trump’s escalating military attacks against Venezuela are not entirely unprecedented. He is, after all, far from the first president to attack buildings or even to kill people abroad on the basis of assertions of self-defense. In 1998 Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, allegedly to prevent Osama bin Laden from gaining access to nerve gas after al-Qaeda attacked US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. (Clinton’s claim that the factory had anything to do with nerve gas was never proved.) After September 11 George W. Bush authorized military strikes against suspected al-Qaeda militants in multiple foreign countries, often killing innocent civilians in the process. Barack Obama ordered the assassination of bin Laden in Pakistan, as well as numerous drone strikes against other suspected terrorists elsewhere, including Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen killed in Yemen. These actions raised many difficult legal questions under international law and the law of war, some of which I have written about in these pages.1 In many cases the attacks were illegal, and to some extent they paved the way for Trump’s assault on Venezuela.

But in other respects Trump’s “brilliant operation” is unprecedented in modern US history. These earlier strikes were in response to actual or threatened attacks on the US. By contrast, Trump’s unilateral actions against Venezuela were entirely unprovoked. The implication of the administration’s reasoning is that countries can use military force anytime they are unhappy with how another country regulates or fails to regulate conduct within its borders that could have injurious effects elsewhere. But this is ludicrous. By the administration’s logic, Canada could start shooting Americans suspected of carrying drugs over the US–Canada border, or bomb buildings in the US that it claimed were being used to manufacture the drugs. Mexico could do the same with respect to American manufacturers of guns that are routinely used in gang violence, which kills many thousands of Mexicans each year. In June the US Supreme Court ruled that a federal law barred Mexico from suing Smith & Wesson and other American gunmakers for the deaths and injuries their weapons facilitated. But if Trump’s reasoning were sound, Mexico need not have bothered with the nicety of filing a lawsuit. It could simply bomb Smith & Wesson out of existence as a matter of “self-defense.”

Drug smuggling is a time-honored profession, if not the oldest then certainly in the running for second place. Reasonable people can differ about whether criminal prohibitions are an effective response to the problem. Like Prohibition, criminalizing drugs is a failed experiment. It increases prices, incentivizes a black market, frustrates health regulation and treatment, and foments violence by the gangs that arise to meet the demand. But the answer to the failure of Prohibition was not to summarily execute bootleggers and moonshiners. So, too, the answer to the failed war on drugs is not to start an actual war with Venezuela.

The closest precedent for Trump’s latest actions might be the capture and trial of Manuel Noriega in Panama in 1989. There, too, we invaded another country in order to put its ostensible leader on trial. But that action was widely condemned as illegal—not a precedent to be proud of, much less repeated. And the situation in Panama was materially different in several respects. Panama had declared a “state of war” with the United States and killed a US marine, and we had an enormous Air Force base and thousands of American citizens in the country who we claimed were at risk.

Venezuela, by contrast, neither engaged in nor conducted any hostilities against us—even after we killed over a hundred civilians in illegal summary executions from the air, blockaded their oil tankers, and destroyed a loading dock in their country. In retrospect, it is clear that Trump was baiting Maduro, trying to draw him into war. He never took the bait. But that didn’t stop Trump. We now “run the country”—and seem poised to control its oil. Brilliant, actually.

The Once Secret Memo That Trump Thinks Justifies His Venezuela Invasion

The legal theories the administration has floated to defend its actions draw on a historical source the president once disavowed.

By Mark Joseph Stern | Jan 5, 2026 at 4:06 PM

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/secret-memo-trump-venezuel
a-invasion-illegal.html

President Donald Trump’s military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is flatly illegal under international law and almost certainly illegal under federal law—an unauthorized use of force against a foreign nation that pushes executive power past its breaking point. Yet there is no real chance that the courts will curb it, even as the mission evolves into a possible occupation of Venezuela and an expansion of hostilities to its neighbors. Nor is there any signal that Congress will impose restraints on what appears to be the dawn of a new conflict overseas, surrendering its constitutional war powers to Trump without objection. And even if Congress does try to assert its authority to oversee (or end) military action in South America, it will face an uphill battle in a judiciary that persistently favors the commander in chief.

This inversion of our constitutional order sets a perilous precedent that even many celebrating Maduro’s fall may come to regret. It marks the death knell of the post–World War II settlement that, however imperfect, wrestled the anarchy of war into a framework designed to condition armed aggression on legal justification. The executive branch’s consolidation of power now reverberates far beyond the United States’ shores as a saber-rattling president abandons any pretense that the law can constrain his resort to military force. Indeed, the legal theories the administration has floated to defend its actions draw on a historical source Trump once disavowed: the arch-interventionist claim that the U.S. has an inalienable right to police the world.

It is difficult to tally all the ways in which the Maduro operation was illegal, but start with a point that few dispute: This act violated international law. Trump’s invasion of Venezuela to capture its president cannot be squared with Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter, which bars member nations from deploying “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.” This principle—the most important rule of international law today—should bind the United States, which ratified the charter in 1945. And it clearly prohibits the American government from invading another country to make an arrest.

Yet Mike Waltz, Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, did not even pretend that the administration complied with Article 2(4) in his address to the U.N. Security Council on Monday. Instead, Waltz rejected the premise that this rule should apply to Venezuela at all, because Maduro was an “illegitimate narco-terrorist” and “fugitive from justice.” Of course, if a country can disregard the U.N. Charter whenever it concludes that another nation’s leaders have given up their claim to “territorial integrity or political independence,” then the charter means nothing. Arguably worse was Waltz’s insistence that Venezuela’s vast “energy reserves” also justified the action, a motive Trump has laid bare from the start. It should go without saying that the charter does not, under any circumstances, permit one nation to invade another to secure control over its natural resources.

So what is the government’s legal defense of its military incursion into Venezuela? The administration purports to be following the Panama precedent of 1989—when President George H.W. Bush ordered the military invasion of Panama to arrest its dictator, Manuel Noriega, ostensibly so he could stand trial in the U.S. But this episode was not approved by Congress (which found out just hours before) or the U.N. (which condemned it) or a federal court (which never passed on its legality). Instead, the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel justified the aggression in a secret memo signed by William Barr, who would go on to serve as attorney general for the first Bush and Trump.

In that memo, Barr claimed that the president has inherent constitutional authority to conduct extraterritorial arrests for violations of U.S. law. Even if those arrests require complex military incursions into foreign nations, he wrote, they remain within the president’s inherent powers and do not require congressional approval. Barr further asserted that these arrests did not have to comply with Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter. That provision, he wrote, does not actually bind the executive branch because it is not “self-executing,” freeing the commander in chief to disregard it.

This conclusion was obviously wrong: Even if the charter cannot be enforced by federal courts, it remains binding on the executive branch and is a law that the president has a constitutional duty to faithfully execute. The memo was so absurd, in fact, that the DOJ did everything in its power to conceal it, as New York University law professor Ryan Goodman has documented. After Congress demanded to see Barr’s memo, the department refused, even failing to comply with a subpoena ordering its disclosure. When Barr eventually testified about its contents under oath, he omitted its assertion that the president can “override” the U.N. Charter (a legal justification that made up a mere four paragraphs). The Clinton administration finally released the memo in 1993, and in the years since, legal experts have derided it as “deeply counterintuitive and indefensible,” “fundamentally flawed,” “preposterous,” and utterly “bereft of citation to supporting authority.”

But embrace, for a moment, the nihilism of Barr’s memo and assume that international law imposes no legitimate constraints on the president’s use of force. Even then, Trump’s actions in Venezuela would still be illegal—or, most generously, an egregious distortion of the constitutional war powers. It is Congress, after all, that has the authority to declare war and must authorize use of military force. The president is the commander in chief, the civilian leader of the armed forces, but he holds no independent power to commence hostilities. Needless to say, Congress has neither declared war on Venezuela nor authorized military force within its borders.

From where, then, did Trump derive authority to invade Venezuela? As Harvard Law professor Jack Goldsmith has explained, the administration evidently contrived it from its desire to arrest Maduro on federal charges. The logic goes like this: The DOJ sought to take the dictator into custody on charges of drug trafficking. It could do so only by storming Venezuela. That operation would require protection from the military. And as a matter of “unit self-defense,” these accompanying troops had a right to bomb, shoot, and otherwise overwhelm any threats to the mission through lethal force. This rationale is quintessential bootstrapping: The alleged goal of trying Maduro in the U.S. gives Trump permission to launch a hostile incursion into a sovereign nation, whose ramifications may well give rise to a broader regional conflict.

Georgetown Law professor and Slate contributor Steve Vladeck has laid out the danger of this shameless maneuver: It subverts the constitutional order by allowing the president to set off offensive military operations under the pretext of carrying out an arrest warrant on foreign soil. If troops face any resistance, they can escalate with further use of force, sliding quickly toward war—all without authorization from the legislative branch. So the Trump administration’s apparent rationale is less of a loophole than a complete end run around Congress’ war powers with no limiting principle in sight.

Despite all this, no one seriously thinks that any federal court will slow or stop Trump’s attacks in Venezuela and its neighbors. Americans seem to have consigned ourselves to the reality that legal constraints on the commander in chief’s operational decisions are entirely theoretical, with no meaningful mechanism for enforcement. Congress has handed over to the president more and more of its authority over foreign affairs. The Supreme Court has persistently forbidden federal judges from second-guessing the executive branch’s use of military force. (That’s why the Trump administration’s legal defense comes not from a court decision but from a self-serving opinion produced by the Department of Justice.) And the rest of the world has no means to secure accountability for the United States, which does not even recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

So Trump, already a “unitary executive” at home, becomes a kind of ersatz emperor abroad, bound by no law of nations, no treaty or charter, no checks but those he elects to honor. The post–World War II consensus, as enshrined in the U.N. Charter, rejected this kind of unbridled aggression as an invitation to perpetual conflict. Trump, in turn, rejects that consensus. It may be tempting to ignore the consequences of this radical new doctrine when it is wielded against an illegitimate dictator like Maduro. But Trump is already threatening action against Colombia, Cuba, Iran, and even Mexico, a liberal democracy with a legitimately elected president. The end point, it seems, is whatever this president says it is. That theory of American dominance does not merely push legal limits. It subordinates law to the logic of conquest.

Then why were you talking about suicide? By the way, you aren't unique among Trumptards I know. They talk and many do kill themselves over trivial setbacks. Most are living in an unhealthy fashion that will make an early death a certainty, even if the police don't classify their end as suicide. And the rest of the Trumptards are anxious about the meaning and purpose of their wasted lives, which is why they attach themselves to a strong leader or a god who gives them a purpose.

Trump’s Greenland Threats Push NATO Toward an Unprecedented Crisis

By Olga Lautman | Jan 05, 2026

If the United States were to use military power against allied territory, it would bring the post–WW II security order to an end, collapse NATO from within, and hand Russia the biggest geopolitical victory it has never been able to secure on the battlefield, while placing the alliance on a path where American forces could, for the first time, find themselves in direct confrontation with NATO troops.

France reiterating its support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland and stating plainly that borders cannot be changed by force, underscoring that Trump’s threats are now being treated in Europe as a challenge to basic principles of international law rather than a bilateral dispute.

Coalition of the Willing to mute Greenland to avoid US backlash

US statements on Greenland

The wife of US President Donald Trump's domestic security adviser, Stephen Miller, Kathy, recently posted a map showing Greenland colored like the American flag.

After that, Trump said the US needs the island for defense, claiming it is allegedly surrounded by Russian and Chinese fleets.

Sources cited by Politico believe the US could establish control over Greenland in the coming months.

Denmark has already responded to Trump's remarks. In particular, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that if the US attempted to seize Greenland—especially by military means - it would effectively spell the end of NATO.

On January 6, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the issue of Greenland will be discussed at the Coalition of the Willing summit. He stressed that no NATO member should attack or threaten another member of the Alliance.

Is Greenland next?

By Nicholas Vinocur | January 5, 2026 7:00 am CET

https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/brussels-playbook/is-greenland-next/

One question flashes bright red for Europe today: Is Greenland next?

It’s hardly a theoretical question. Speaking to the Atlantic over the weekend, Trump reiterated his desire for the U.S. to take control of the island territory, which is self-governing but under control of the Kingdom of Denmark. “We do need Greenland, absolutely,” Trump said, describing the island as “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.”

Trump has embraced the 19th century Monroe Doctrine, under which Washington claimed ascendancy over the Western hemisphere, while leaving the rest of the world to Europe, though naturally with his own personal twist on it: “They now call it ‘the Donroe Document,’” he said Saturday.

There’s more: Katie Miller — wife of White House adviser and firebrand Stephen Miller — posted a map of Greenland on social media, overlaid with the Stars and Stripes under the word “SOON.” This prompted Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to hit back on Sunday evening.

“I have to say this very directly to the United States. It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland,” Frederiksen said. “The United States has no right to annex any of the three countries in the [Danish] Realm.” (For the record, the Faroe Islands are the Realm’s third country.)

Please, stop: “I would therefore strongly urge the United States to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people who have said very clearly that they are not for sale,” Frederiksen added in a statement.

Greenland’s leader, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, described Miller’s provocation as “disrespectful” but urged his people not to panic. “Our country is not for sale, and our future will not be shaped by debates on social media,” he posted on Facebook Sunday.

Nordic backup: Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Finnish President Alexander Stubb followed up with posts insisting on Greenland’s sovereignty.

Unmoved: Speaking to reporters on Air Force One hours later, Trump repeated his belief that controlling Greenland is vital to U.S. national security, my colleague Sophia Cai reports. “And the European Union needs us to have it, and they know that,” Trump said.

Doubling down: Trump’s continued focus on Greenland is especially unnerving given that both he and Vance have lately been happy to broadcast that they are quite serious about asserting control over the territory.

Before Trump announced that the U.S. would now be extracting “enormous wealth” from Venezuela, his administration named Jeff Landry, governor of Louisiana, as special U.S. envoy for Greenland. Vance followed up by repeating his accusations that Denmark hasn’t done enough to provide for Greenland’s security.

Stars (and stripes) align: Per experts and officials who Playbook spoke to over the weekend, the U.S. could seek to exploit a window of opportunity to assert control over Greenland in coming months, ahead of the U.S. midterm elections in November and in time for the 250th anniversary of American independence on July 4.

Methods would likely differ from those employed in Venezuela. Instead of a military operation, Washington could resort to using a “political influence campaign to shift the current equilibrium,” according to Mujtaba Rahman, Europe managing director at the Eurasia Group, a think tank.

No joking matter: This could include “efforts to buy local politicians as the U.S. seeks greater military and civilian control. The Americans have various tools to achieve this,” Rahman said, adding that the risk is “real and serious.”

In comments to Playbook, David McAllister, a senior German conservative EU lawmaker and head of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, reiterated the bloc’s support for Denmark and Greenland. “Greenland is a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Greenland is sovereign. The future of Greenland will be decided in Greenland by the people of Greenland,” he said.

Greenland who? Leaders, for the most part, have avoided drawing any link between Venezuela and Greenland, with one EU official telling Playbook that they are “walking on eggshells.” A statement from the European External Action Service published on Sunday evening and backed by 26 EU countries (all except Hungary) stated that “under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be upheld.” But the statement does not name-check Greenland.

The reasons for caution are clear. The EU is fully focused on Ukraine and achieving a fair resolution to Russia’s ongoing war. Any statement strongly supportive of Greenland risks angering Trump at a time when EU leaders are striving to enlist American support in providing security guarantees for Ukraine.

Awkward timing: Indeed, members of the “coalition of the willing” (plus European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President António Costa and EU High Representative Kaja Kallas) are due to meet this week in Paris. This follows a gathering Saturday of national security advisers in Kyiv, including von der Leyen and Costa’s respective heads of cabinet, Bjoern Seibert and Pedro Lourtie.

An American move against Greenland could stretch EU and NATO unity to a breaking point. A crisis in Greenland could be far more divisive than backing Ukraine, Rahman added. “Copenhagen is unlikely to receive the same full-throated support as Ukraine has.”

The bottom line: Four days into 2026, any hopes that Trump would approach the new year in a more conciliatory spirit are long dead. Greenland is now the elephant in the room — hugely risky for Europe, but too hot to handle for a bloc desperate to solve its No. 1 security problem in Ukraine. “This is the 4th of January,” added McAllister. “We still have 361 days to go this year. What’s next?”

Pentagon Official on Venezuela War: “Following the Old, Failed Scripts”

By Nick Turse | January 5 2026, 3:30 p.m.

https://theintercept.com/2026/01/05/trump-venezuela-war/

Early Saturday morning, after cloud cover lifted, elite Army Delta Force commandos moved in. With support from CIA covert operators and other military, intelligence, and law enforcement personnel, they carried out the Trump administration’s audacious regime-change project in Venezuela, upending global order and shattering what remains of geopolitical norms.

As the day wore on, the full scope of the operation became clear: The U.S. had attacked a sovereign nation with which it was not at war and did so without congressional authorization; kidnapped its leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and rendered them to the United States; announced plans to “run” that country as a de facto colony; and threatened further attacks and military occupation unless the acting president does America’s bidding.

“We’re in charge,” Trump said of Venezuela on Sunday night, speaking to reporters on Air Force One. “We’re going to run everything.”

Reflecting on the operation, dubbed Absolute Resolve, a senior defense official called America a “rogue state” and pronounced dead the liberal rules-based geopolitical order which U.S. administrations, of both parties, have championed since World War II.

“His powers are rooted in the fearmongering post-9/11 decisions creating emergency powers that were never reined back in.”

“It’s crazy how we are following the old, failed scripts: Topple government. Make no plans for the aftermath,” the senior defense official said. “We must face the reality Trump has no limits. His powers are rooted in the fearmongering post-9/11 decisions creating emergency powers that were never reined back in.”

The administration has justified Absolute Resolve by citing the president’s authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack.

Sarah Harrison, who previously advised Pentagon policymakers on issues related to human rights and the law of war, said that the attack was a clear violation of international law and the administration’s justifications are baseless.

“Countries cannot go around the world using force against other states merely due to criminal activity. On this point the administration has put forward one of the most groundless legal arguments,” Harrison told The Intercept. “What happened on January 3 was clearly an offensive, not a defensive, mission, and an act of aggression in violation of the U.N. charter and customary international law.”

“There’s a pervasive corrosive fear in the Pentagon among those of us opposed to Trump and his policies,” the senior defense official told The Intercept. “We have supported the country and the institutions for decades and now watch as they are being dismantled.”

Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson did not reply to repeated requests for comment concerning the statements by the senior defense official.

Forever Wars

Over the weekend, Trump repeatedly threatened continued war in Venezuela, as the U.S. maintains a massive military presence in the Caribbean, including the largest naval flotilla in the region since the Cold War. “We’re prepared,” Trump said of possible follow-up strikes on Venezuela. “You know, we have a second wave that’s much bigger than the first wave.”

He also threatened that the “American armada remains poised in position, and the United States retains all military options until United States demands have been fully met and fully satisfied.”

Trump also left the door open to a full-scale military occupation. “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground,” he said.

Trump said that the U.S. intends to employ Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro’s vice president, as a puppet under threat of further U.S. attacks.

“If Maduro’s vice president — if the vice president does what we want, we won’t have to do that,” he said of a military occupation. Trump told The Atlantic on Sunday that if Rodríguez “doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”

Rodríguez, who had initially struck a defiant tone, expressed a willingness to “collaborate” with the U.S. following Trump’s menacing comments.

Experts raised the issue of blowback, which has haunted foreign U.S. interventions since before the CIA coined the term for the unintended, negative effects of covert U.S. operations.

“The United States learned this the hard way during previous regime change operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, where early tactical achievements failed to produce strategic success and instead paved the way for expensive occupations and unintended consequences,” said Daniel DePetris of Defense Priorities, a research institute that favors restraint in foreign policy. “A split in the Venezuelan military, an expansion of criminal groups in the country, civil war, and the emergence of an even worse autocrat are all possible scenarios. None of these would bode well for regional stability or U.S. interests in its sphere of influence.”

Military contracting documents revealed by The Intercept also show that the War Department has plans to feed a massive military presence in the Caribbean until almost to the end of President Donald Trump’s term in office. A 2023 study by the RAND Corporation warned that “overt military intervention in Venezuela is likely to become messy very quickly and is likely to become protracted.”

“Like President Trump, the Bush administration also promised that Iraqi oil would pay for the occupation.”

“The idea of the United States running or administering Venezuela, even temporarily, should set off every alarm bell in Washington,” said Lora Lumpe, the CEO of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. “It bears an unsettling resemblance to the occupation of Iraq, where promises of liberation quickly gave way to years of insurgency, civilian suffering, and regional destabilization. Like President Trump, the Bush administration also promised that Iraqi oil would pay for the occupation.”

Lumpe added, “While the U.S. invasion of Iraq looked like an initial success, it is now understood, including by President Trump, to be a colossal failure.”

Trump has long advocated seizing foreign oil fields, including those in Iraq and Syria. “I still can’t believe we left Iraq without the oil,” he tweeted in 2013. “It used to be, ‘To the victor belong the spoils,’” he said at a 2016 “Commander-in-Chief Forum.” In 2023, during a speech at the North Carolina Republican Convention, Trump said that, if reelected in 2021, he would have seized Venezuela’s oil. “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil,” he said.

On Saturday, Trump made clear that the U.S. would be cashing in on Venezuela’s petroleum patrimony. “We’re gonna have a presence in Venezuela as it pertains to oil,” he explained. “We’re gonna be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.” He said that both Venezuela and the U.S. would share in those riches, stating that America was entitled to “reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country.”

Trump has pursued an abrasive, interventionist, and ruthless foreign policy during his second term and made war in Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean in 2025, despite claiming to be a “peacemaker.”

Close to Catastrophe

Late on Friday night and into early Saturday morning, Trump and his advisers huddled as scores of U.S. aircraft took off, including attack jets that struck targets in and around Caracas, including air defense systems, a government official told The Intercept.

Helicopters, with troops and “law enforcement officers” on board, skimmed just 100 feet above the water en route to Venezuela, according to chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine. (The government official clarified that the law enforcement personnel were FBI agents.)

U.S. forces cleared a path with electronic warfare methods from Space Command, Cyber Command, and others while combat aircraft provided armed overwatch.

Caine said the operation involved more than 150 aircraft launched from 20 bases around the Western Hemisphere, including F-18, F-35, and F-22 fighters; B-1 bombers; and remotely piloted drones.

Around 1 a.m. ET, the soldiers of Delta Force, officially known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta — who specialize in high-risk missions involving the capture or killing of high-value targets — arrived at Maduro’s compound in downtown Caracas. “On arrival into the target area, the helicopters came under fire and they replied to that fire with overwhelming force,” said Caine. “One of our aircraft was hit but remained flyable.”

Caine said that once Maduro and Flores were abducted by U.S. troops, helicopters were called in to retrieve the group.

Fall of the Old Republic

Trump said there were no U.S. deaths in the operation. The government official told The Intercept that about six U.S. personnel were injured, including a member of a helicopter crew who was struck by small arms fire. At least 80 people in Venezuela were reportedly killed, including military personnel and civilians. The government of Cuba reported that 32 Cubans, serving in the Venezuelan armed forces and interior ministry, were among those killed in the U.S. attacks.

The U.S. government official who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss classified matters praised the “efficiency” of the tactical side of the operation. The official acknowledged that the attack on Venezuela was an act of war but stressed that it was conducted as part of a law enforcement operation.

The senior defense official, by contrast, did not hold back following the attack on Venezuela.

“America is a rogue state,” the defense official said, calling Trump a “tyrant.” The official expressed dismay at the state of America, referencing a film to describe the changing of the political order.

“It feels like the end of the Republic in Star Wars and the ‘Revenge of the Sith,’” the official said, evoking the movie where democracy in the Old Republic was undermined by treacherous forces obsessed with conquest and domination.

The senior official told The Intercept that Trump was now almost completely unrestrained and that the system of geopolitical agreements, norms, and institutions crafted by the U.S. since World War II is finished.

“The liberal rules-based order,” the official said, “is dead.”

Nihilism is the most likely choice for your kind of Evil:

A person who sees no meaning or purpose in life is called a nihilist, someone who believes life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value, often associated with extreme skepticism and pessimism. Related terms describe the feeling of lacking purpose, such as aimless, adrift, or rudderless, while the philosophical stance is existential nihilism, which posits life has no inherent meaning.

Key Terms

• Nihilist: A person who subscribes to nihilism, the philosophical view that life is meaningless and values are baseless.

• Existential Nihilist: Specifically focuses on the belief that life, and existence itself, lacks intrinsic meaning or purpose.

Related Concepts & Feelings

• Aimless/Adrift/Rudderless: Words describing the state of lacking direction or purpose, but not necessarily the philosophical stance.

• Anomie: A state of normlessness or a feeling of being disconnected from society's rules and values, often linked to a lack of purpose.

Nuances

• While nihilism rejects inherent meaning, some interpret this as a freedom to create one's own meaning (optimistic nihilism), rather than succumbing to despair.

There are other choices, such as demonic possession of 6ixStringJoker, but the devil could find someone with more energy to do the work of destroying creation, such as Trump. Something has taken control of Trump.

Trump is evil personified, killing 80 people to arrest Maduro. Trump blames Maduro for overdose deaths of "countless Americans," but experts say analysis doesn't back it up

By Laura Doan | January 6, 2026 4:30 PM EST

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-maduro-overdose-deaths-of-americans/

One of President Trump's rationales for ordering the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was his claim that Maduro was responsible for trafficking "colossal amounts of deadly and illicit drugs" into the United States, fueling the overdose deaths of "countless Americans."

But experts who study drug trafficking told CBS News these claims are exaggerated.

Analysts from the U.S. government and independent think tanks say that Venezuela plays a relatively limited role in bringing cocaine to the U.S. and has virtually no link to the trafficking of fentanyl — the synthetic opioid that causes most overdose deaths.

Venezuela is not listed as a source or a transit country for fentanyl in any edition of the Drug Enforcement Administration's annual "National Drug Threat Assessment," according to a review by Jeffrey Singer, a practicing surgeon and senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute. Instead, the DEA has repeatedly found that fentanyl entering the U.S. is largely produced in Mexico — where it is often trafficked over land, primarily by U.S. citizens.

"I don't think what happened in Venezuela is going to in any way impact the overdose rates here, since the biggest driver of overdoses is fentanyl," Singer said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, illegally manufactured fentanyl was involved in 65% of overdose deaths in 2024, compared to roughly 34% of overdose deaths that involved cocaine – figures that include overdoses involving multiple drugs. About 20% of overdose deaths in 2024 were caused by fentanyl alone, while 8.3% were caused by cocaine.

The State Department has designated Venezuela as a major transit country for cocaine, which is primarily produced in Colombia. But much of the cocaine that moves through Venezuela is destined for Europe, rather than the United States, said Vanda Felbab-Brown, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies drug policy.

"A lot of cocaine that goes to the United States bypasses Venezuela," Felbab-Brown said. "It goes through the Pacific, smuggled by sea from Colombia around Mexico to the U.S."

Felbab-Brown also questioned Mr. Trump's portrayal of Maduro as an organizer and manager of the drug trade and cast doubt on the strength of the federal criminal case against him.

"It remains to be seen whether the prosecution in New York will be able to substantiate those charges," Felbab-Brown said. "Certainly the more common perception is that Maduro was aware of members of the government taking a cut from drugs, but it's not widely believed that Maduro was a principal orchestrator."

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


I think Trump has lost the thread, and people who follow him slavishly have lost it too.

I'm not against Trump doing radical things, like getting out of NATO bc NATO's been a boat anchor for generations.

I'm not against him breaking WTO rules and imposing tariffs bc our industries need protection in order to redevelop.

I'm not against him kicking out illegal aliens.

What I'm against is Trump doing stupid things with no purpose whatsoever, like that infernal meddling across the globe.

What he's doing isn't MAGA.

I ain't going to beat myself up over it. What alternative have Democrats left anybody with?

They spent their day today giving some of the most pathetic speeches for J6 that I've ever seen in my life, while they were all holding dollar store LED candles, some of them at times not even bothering to hold them up straight to even attempt to make the illusion look real.

Chuck Schumer couldn't get a damn sentence out of his mouth without fucking up at least one word. Hakeem Jeffries lied his head off and made up events that never even happened that day. If Dollar Store Obama had an ounce of Charisma behind his retarded way of talking, he might be able to convince somebody that at least some of that were true.

Then they all started half-hardheartedly and cringe-inducingly singing something like "This Land Was Made for You and Me" and their feed cut off before they even finished the song.


They, along with the Legacy Media completely ruined themselves and any credibility they had outside of their captive 25% or so of the voting population cultists that vote Blue, no matter who and spend all their days posting Trump articles.


Maybe things get better. Maybe things get worse.

I ain't going to worry about it until there's something to worry about.

I wanted change. Been voting for it my entire adult life.

I'm finally getting it.



Why don't you stop freaking out about TODAY'S EVENTS and just give it a week or two to see what happens?

There is zero sense in getting all nutty with this or you'll end up just like Ted and Second and start freaking out about a million and one things that never actually end up happening.

Besides. It's not like you could do anything about any of this anyhow, right?

Lindsey Graham Is Having the Time of His Life—and He Owes It All to Trump
Rand Paul, however, is not.

By Jim Newell | Jan 07, 2026 5:40 AM

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/01/lindsey-graham-trump-venez
uela-maduro.html

Lindsey Graham, flanked by Donald Trump and Howard Lutnick, speaks with reporters aboard Air Force One.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has a hard-earned skip in his step. After nearly a decade of obsequious, showy servility to the president he once warned would be the death knell of the Republican Party, Graham is getting what he wants: an interventionist Republican president merrily drawing up a list of baddies to take down, starting with captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Graham was one of the first to recognize, long ago, that Donald Trump’s policy views are determined mostly by the flattery of the last person to speak with him before a decision. For both of Trump’s presidencies, Graham has worked to flatter Trump at every turn, and to be the final person to do so. While Graham has his hands in a lot of policy jars, his passion is an interventionist foreign policy. That’s led to an ever-running proxy battle for Trump’s sympathies between himself and an ascendant noninterventionist “America First” foreign policy wing, as best represented in the Senate by Kentucky’s Rand Paul.

Graham couldn’t contain his glee on Sunday aboard Air Force One as he stood inches from Trump, shortly after the Venezuela operation.

The president was rattling through a list of countries in the Americas that would go down next. Mexico? “You have to do something with Mexico.” What about a mission in Colombia? “It sounds good to me.” And as for the big, bad hemispheric archnemesis of 70 years Cuba: “Looks like it’s ready for fall.”

“Yes!” Graham said, beaming with the glow of someone whose life had been leading to this very moment.

Aboard Air Force One, in his own remarks—which the president frequently interrupted with stray thoughts about how, for example, he would’ve taken out bin Laden before 9/11—Graham laid it on extra thick.

“We had Venezuela, we have Cuba, we have Colombia in our backyard. And these three countries have been condemned ever since I’ve been in politics,” Graham said. “Joe Biden put a $25 million bounty on Maduro’s head.” And “this commander in chief,” he added, “he did something people talked about doing.”

Graham isn’t just thinking about the “backyard” (a whole hemisphere), though. Also on Sunday—the senator was everywhere on Sunday—he appeared on Fox News with a message for another, more distant regime that he has long believed in changing. And he brought a prop.

“I pray and hope that 2026 will be”—here he paused to put on a baseball cap bearing the slogan he would then utter—“the year that we make Iran great again.”

Graham has been waiting for a moment like this for a while, ever since the failures of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars soured the public on the wisdom of nation-building. For a long time, Graham hitched his wagon to the celebrity of his friend and fellow hawk John McCain. Since McCain’s death, and with the rise of an isolationist element in the MAGA movement, Graham has been trying to work Trump in his direction. The kidnapping of one hostile foreign leader is, for Graham, a good start.

But not all is joyous in the Senate Republican conference. Just as much as Graham might sound as if he’s won the long fight for Trump’s foreign-policy orientation, Rand Paul is sounding as if he’s lost.

Paul reflected on Trump’s tenure Monday, speaking with reporters.

“Whenever I had misgivings about something else, I’d always come back and say, ‘Well, he’s the best we’ve ever had,’ much better than the Bushes, who were war-mad and wanted to be involved in all these crazy wars overseas and were going to make the world safe for democracy—I never liked any of that,” he said. “And I thought Trump was different. And so it disappoints me that he’s under the thrall of Lindsey Graham.

“There should be a law,” Paul continued, “that Lindsey Graham can only go to the White House every other week.”

How much credit does Graham give himself for persuading Trump to move in a more interventionist direction? I asked Graham this on Tuesday. He was smart enough not to bite, awarding credit for all critical thinking to the president.

“I’m just reinforcing what he told me in January 2025,” he said. “I had a talk with him. We have a drug caliphate in our backyard—look at it as a caliphate. Instead of complaining about it, let’s get rid of it. These are not, you know, unbeatable foes. And I think the American people would appreciate somebody finally stopping those who are poisoning Americans and making billions of dollars.” (Also: Get rid of Iran.)

Both Graham and Paul had throngs of reporters following them in the Capitol Tuesday, getting their sides of the long-running foreign-policy feud that had now swung dramatically in one direction. Paul was talking on the level of legality, and about how the administration’s arguments that Maduro’s capture was a law-enforcement operation, and thus not a military operation requiring congressional input, made no sense.

“If you say that we don’t have to declare war because this is a criminal” case, he told reporters, “it would basically be an argument you could go to any country where you had a beef, that you could get an indictment for them” and run a military operation to decapitate the state.

Rand Paul might have the law, but Lindsey Graham has Trump. I asked Graham if he felt that he had won the battle against Paul in favor of interventionism. Graham took issue with the term itself.

“This is not intervention,” he said. “This is protecting America. It’s not like ‘Hey, what are you doing today? Let’s go to Venezuela. Seems like nice beaches, good-looking people. Let’s take it.’ This is protecting America from threat.”

“Rand Paul”—he paused for a second and ever so slightly rolled his eyes, considering his words—“doesn’t believe that radical Islam is a threat. He would withdraw, he’d be America Fortress, America Fortress. There’d be no troops anywhere. Trump wants to protect the country.

“America First,” he summed it up, “is taking countries that hurt America and change them. Interventionism is going somewhere without a real good reason.”

That’s his story, and he’s sticking to it.

The Emperor’s New Oil Wealth

The truth behind Trump’s black, sticky fantasy

By Paul Krugman | Jan 07, 2026

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-emperors-new-oil-wealth

When George W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2003, he claimed that the goal was to establish a democratic regime. Some members of his administration may even have believed that. But many leftist critics insisted that it was all about seizing Iraq’s oil.

Although I was an outspoken opponent of that war, and deeply cynical about the Bush administration’s motives, I never believed the “war for oil” story. The principal motivation for the war, I still believe, was to wag the dog — to use a showy military victory to secure Bush’s reelection. According to some political scientists, that was a mission the war did, in fact, accomplish.

Donald Trump’s Venezuela venture is a very different story. During his triumphalist press conference after the abduction of Nicolás Maduro, Trump never used the word “democracy.” He did, however, say “oil” 27 times, declaring, “We’re going to take back the oil that, frankly, we should have taken back a long time ago.”

Even so, whatever it is we’re doing in Venezuela isn’t really a war for oil. It is, instead, a war for oil fantasies. The vast wealth Trump imagines is waiting there to be taken doesn’t exist.

You may have heard that Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — 300 billion barrels. You probably don’t know that Venezuela’s reported oil reserves tripled while Hugo Chavez was president. This increase, from roughly 100 billion to 300 billion barrels, didn’t reflect major new discoveries or exploration. Instead, it reflected the Chavez government’s decision to reclassify the country’s Orinoco Belt heavy oil as “proved” — oil that can be recovered with reasonable certainty under existing economic and operating conditions:

Source: Torsten Slok

As Torsten Slok of Apollo, who recently made this point, notes, “Much of the oil is extra-heavy, which has low recovery and a high cost to produce.” This suggests that Venezuela’s claims to have immense usable oil reserves were politically motivated hype.

This view is supported by the fact that the huge increase in Venezuela’s reported oil reserves wasn’t followed by a surge in production. On the contrary, Venezuelan oil production soon plunged:

Source: Torsten Slok

Plunging production was associated with a steady degradation of Venezuela’s oil infrastructure, which would take years and many billions of dollars in investment to restore. Given these costs as well as political instability, major oil companies clearly aren’t enthusiastic about the idea of sinking money into Venezuela.

On Monday Trump suggested that he might reimburse oil companies for investment in the nation he claims — with no basis in reality — to control, reimbursing them for their outlays there. That is, we’ve gone in a matter of days from big talk about huge money-making opportunities to a proposal to, in effect, subsidize oil-industry investments in Venezuela at U.S. taxpayers’ expense.

Which is not to say that nobody has profited from the abduction of Maduro. A few months ago Trumpist billionaire Paul Singer bought Citgo, the former U.S.-based arm of Venezuela’s state-run oil company. Citgo owns three Gulf Coast refineries custom-built to process Venezuelan crude, refineries that have suffered from the U.S. embargo on imports of that crude. If Trump lifts that embargo, Singer will receive a huge windfall. But this windfall will have nothing to do with reviving Venezuelan production.

Singer has made huge political donations to Trump, raising questions about how much he has influenced policy. His purchase of Citgo was also remarkably well-timed. What did he know?

At a deeper level, Trump’s apparent belief that oil in the ground is a precious asset is decades out of date.

These days oil is cheap by historical standards. Here’s the real price of oil — its price adjusted for overall inflation — since 2000:

Source: Energy Information Administration

Oil prices are low mainly because of increased supply due to fracking, and the potential for more fracking is likely to keep them low for the foreseeable future. The breakeven price of fracked oil — the price at which it’s just profitable to drill a new well — is around $62 a barrel in the most important U.S. producing regions. While global oil prices fluctuate, they tend to return to that breakeven price after a few years:


And $62 a barrel wouldn’t be high enough to make investing in the Orinoco Belt, where the estimated breakeven is more than $80, profitable even if there were no political risks.

In short, Trump’s belief that he has captured a lucrative prize in Venezuela’s oil fields would be an unrealistic fantasy even if he really were in control of a nation that is, in practice, still controlled by the same thugs who controlled it before Maduro was abducted.

The U.S. Is Leaving Boat Strike Survivors to Drown

The Coast Guard called off its search for people who jumped into the sea after watching the U.S. military destroy another ship.

By Nick Turse | January 7 2026, 7:00 a.m.

https://theintercept.com/2026/01/07/boat-strikes-survivors/

The United States left the survivors of a recent boat strike to die at sea, formally abandoning search efforts Friday.

Their presumed deaths are the result of attacks by U.S. forces on three boats in the Pacific Ocean on December 30. After striking one vessel and killing three civilians, crew members of the other boats, according to U.S. Southern Command, “abandoned the other two vessels, jumping overboard and distancing themselves before follow-on engagements sank their respective vessels.”

The unspecified number of survivors who leapt into the Pacific faced nine-foot seas and 40-knot winds, Kenneth Wiese, a spokesperson for the Coast Guard Southwest District, told The Intercept.

The Coast Guard called off the search for those people on Friday citing a “declining probability of survival.” A U.S. government official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press, said the men are now presumed dead.

The United States has been attacking boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific since September, killing at least 117 civilians in 35 attacks — including at least five people on December 30. The total death toll is now unknown, with U.S. Southern Command’s latest tally of attacks and fatalities omitting known strikes and casualties.

Experts in the laws of war and members of Congress, from both parties, have said the strikes are illegal extrajudicial killings. At least five civilians are known to have survived previous attacks: two on September 2, two on October 16, and one on October 27. The Intercept was the first outlet to report that the U.S. military killed two survivors of the initial boat attack on September 2 in a follow-up strike.

William Baumgartner, a retired U.S. Coast Guard rear admiral and former chief counsel of that service branch, said that while there were legal and moral distinctions between attacking the survivors of the September 2 strike and U.S. actions following the December 30 attack, the latter was still tantamount to a death sentence.

“Once the people jump in the water and you blow up the only thing that could possibly save their lives, that’s essentially killing them. The expected result is essentially the same as putting a gun to their head,” Baumgartner told The Intercept.

U.S. Southern Command did not answer questions about the number of people killed in the December 30 strike. Steven McLoud, a SOUTHCOM spokesperson, stated that “since September, the Dept. of War has conducted 33 strikes on narco-terrorist vessels, resulting in 34 vessels destroyed and 115 narco-terrorist deaths.” That attack count conflicts with the total of 35 strikes tallied by The Intercept and separately compiled by the boat strike trackers of the New York Times, Military Times, and Airwars, a civilian harm watchdog group.

The death toll proffered by McLoud — 115 people killed — is also incorrect. U.S. Southern Command’s announcement of the December 30 strike noted: “Three narco-terrorists aboard the first vessel were killed in the first engagement. The remaining narco-terrorists abandoned the other two vessels…” Considering the multiple people who jumped into the sea and are now presumed dead, the number of civilians killed must be at least 117.

McLoud did not reply to multiple requests for clarification.

The SOUTHCOM casualty conundrum comes as a new national poll shows that an overwhelming majority of U.S. voters, including 97 percent of Democrats, 82 percent of independents, and 70 percent of Republicans, agree that Americans should have more information on the boat strikes. The survey found 63 percent of respondents support the U.S. government releasing the unedited videos of the boat strikes, including the video of the September 2 attack.

Following an October 16 attack on a semi-submersible in the Caribbean Sea that killed two civilians, two other men were rescued by the U.S. and quickly repatriated to Colombia and Ecuador, respectively. Following three attacks on October 27 that killed 15 people aboard four separate boats, a survivor of a strike was spotted clinging to wreckage, and the U.S. alerted the Mexican Navy. Search teams did not find the man, and he is presumed dead.

Southern Command refused to disclose the location of the December 30 strikes “due to operational security reasons,” a departure from 30 prior attacks. Southern Command did not respond to questions about whether President Donald Trump, War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and SOUTHCOM had compromised operational security by announcing the locations of earlier strikes.

The Coast Guard disclosed the approximate location of the December 30 strike, noting that the War Department said people were in the water approximately 400 nautical miles southwest of the Mexico–Guatemala border.

The Coast Guard said that it coordinated more than 65 hours of search efforts, leveraging the efforts of vessels in the region and a Coast Guard aircraft launched from Sacramento. The search covered more than 1,090 nautical miles under “favorable visual conditions” with no sightings of survivors or even debris, according to a January 2 Coast Guard press release.

“Suspending a search is never easy and given the exhaustive search effort, lack of positive indications and declining probability of survival, we have suspended active search efforts pending further developments,” said U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Patrick Dill, chief of incident management, Southwest District, on January 2. “At this stage of the response, the likelihood of a successful outcome, based on elapsed time, environmental conditions, and available resources for a person in the water is very low.”

The Coast Guard did not respond to questions concerning those considered lost at sea.

Baumgartner, who began his Coast Guard career at sea and commanded two Coast Guard ships, said that the survivors were unlikely to have lived very long after leaping into the ocean to avoid a missile strike. “If they didn’t have life jackets on, they may well have perished within 30 minutes or so,” he said, citing the extreme wind and sea conditions. “A good swimmer, a fisherman perhaps, might have lasted a little longer than that.”

The boat strikes which began in the Caribbean and spread to the Pacific were the first attacks of a campaign of military and CIA operations that culminated in strikes on Venezuela and the kidnapping of that country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, on Saturday.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary. Hopefully Iran will quickly “Come to the Table” and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse! Don’t make that happen again.

Trump wants war with Cuba, but without declaring war. Instead, he issues an executive order:

Trump reveals his pick to lead Bureau of Labor Statistics — says it was run by 'stupid people' for years

Several months after he fired the previous head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Donald Trump has finally named a successor. The new head of the BLS will be Brett Matsumoto. Matsumoto is an economist in the White House, a position that he had worked in during the President's first term as well. (What is Matsumoto's qualification? Friend of Trump who will make the statistical numbers match Trump's intuition.)

Back in August, the President had abruptly fired the then-head of the BLS, Erika McEntarfer. The firing came after the department released a report that proved that hiring in the country had slowed in the months prior.

At the time, Trump claimed that McEntarfer had released a rigged report to make political gains. That claim still lacks evidence after so many months.

In a recent Truth Social post, the President claimed that Matsumoto had what it took to restore greatness to the bureau, which he believed had been run by “weak and stupid people.”

“For many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under WEAK and STUPID people, has been FAILING American Businesses, Policymakers, and Families by releasing VERY inaccurate numbers,” he wrote in the post. “I am confident that Brett has the expertise to QUICKLY fix the long history of issues at the BLS on behalf of the American People. Brett Matsumoto is a Brilliant, Reputable, and Trusted Economist who will restore GREATNESS to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Congratulations, Brett!”

Last January, Michael J. Fox received a presidential medal of freedom in recognition of his Parkinson’s advocacy work from outgoing president Joe Biden. In USA Today, he wrote about how the incoming Trump administration could help find a cure for the disease he was diagnosed with in 1991 at age 29. They’d be wise to take the actor turned advocate seriously: His Michael J. Fox Foundation has funded more than $2.5 billion in Parkinson’s research over the last 25 years, raising more than $100 million in research annually. “Our foundation directs more money towards Parkinson’s research than the federal government,” Fox tells Vanity Fair. When asked for an update on working with President Donald Trump a year later, Fox retorts, “He’s busy with Greenland. More pressing concerns, I guess.”

Trump's buddies the Trump Admin are all over the lastest Epstein file dump, the Trump politicains are all inside the sleaze and sickness of these Epstein files...so then if it exposes Democrats...why didnt the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris useless Admin expose the files to hurt Trump's circle


that's because the Democrats are all over the files and get exposed also


its the entire system that has been covered in filth and gone rotten


we dont know if Trump is a pedophile, maybe not maybe he just happens to be in the wrong place but there are lots and lots of reports, and emails and leads and interviews, but he is a sleazy guy and in a ways he can also be like a criminal who says "I didn't do it!" when caught.

January 2026, newly released Epstein files showed extensive contact between Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein over several years. On December 2012, Lutnick, his wife and their children visited Little Saint James where they had lunch with Epstein. In November 2015, Epstein received an invitation from Lutnick to a fundraiser at his financial firm for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. In 2017, the two men discussed plans about the construction of a building across the street from both of their homes. The next year, Epstein contributed to a philanthropic dinner hosted by Lutnick

Why weren't the Epstein files released while Biden was president?

Even after Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction, the case was on appeal — anyone in law enforcement knows you don’t open your case file when it’s still under appeal.

Shut the fuck up, cunt. As if you'd take any of what you just posted seriously if the news said it about Trump.

And after seeing that asshole talk candidly the other day and realizing he knew a whole lot more than just about 12 year old girls, I'm starting to wonder if both sides have been lying about him for 20 years now and whether or not all the blackmail material he's had against our politicians and those around the world had anything at all to do with kids.

They destroyed the life and political career of Democrat New York Governor Elliot Spitzer when he was trying to blow the whistle on this a few months before the 2008 housing bubble burst, and he was saying a lot of the same things that Epstein was saying. And that was only a few months before Hillary Clinton became the Secretary of State.

That happened long before I had dumped the Democratic Party completely and I'm sure if it's still here you can find me being REALLY FUCKING LOUD about that when it happened.

Why are the Clintons always involved in all of this? Every single time?

6ixStringJoker, you are just bullshitting. Nothing that you said is true. Nothing. Not one word. This is what happened:

Spitzer announced on March 12, 2008, that he would resign his post as governor at noon on March 17, 2008. Spitzer said at a news conference in Manhattan: "I cannot allow for my private failings to disrupt the people's work. Over the course of my public life, I have insisted—I believe correctly—that people take responsibility for their conduct. I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor." In the following years, Spitzer screwed up his own life again and again, but that wasn't the fault of malicious prosecution.

In November 2008, prosecutors who were in charge of the case announced that Spitzer would not face criminal charges for his involvement in the sex ring. They cited that no evidence of misuse of public funds was found and therefore it would not serve the public interest to press charges against Spitzer. Spitzer offered an apology, saying, "I appreciate the impartiality and thoroughness of the investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office, and I acknowledge and accept responsibility for the conduct it disclosed."

career

6ixStringJoker, it is not surprising that your life is a failure since you cannot even understand something simple like how Spitzer accidentally pushed his own self-destruct button, over and over and over, for many years after he left the governorship. The wiki has the details.

You are as crazy as Trump: Trump’s inexplicable longing to personally own Greenland has done even more to convince the world public at large that the American president has a screw loose.

Trump may eventually either slip into full-blown dementia or opt for a legally and financially cushioned retirement, but with the US presidency changing every four years, Europeans are acutely aware that there’s no guarantee that a future president — elected three, seven, or 19 years from now — won’t be just as unpredictably crazy and destructive as Trump. The US, in short, can no longer be relied on for either leadership or security.

Conclusion: With America’s credibility in the slag heap, it’s better not to count on America at all.

Trump may soon be gone, but the damage he has done to America’s credibility will linger long after him. Among the immediate casualties, we can list America’s former role as titular “leader of the free world.”

In January 2026, newly released Epstein files showed a 2019 email that claimed Wayne had impregnated an 11-year-old girl.The email further asserted that DNA evidence identified Wayne as the biological father of the victim’s child. According to the same correspondence, Wayne was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2017. However, it is reported that another individual was serving the sentence in his place.

German nationalist paramilitary groups frequently used the phrase “shot while trying to escape” (Auf der Flucht erschossen) to cover up the elimination of political opponents. During the Nazi era, this pretext was used for a range of extrajudicial killings.

The Associated Press reports:

Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.

But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

“It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss patient care. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.”
