Boasberg alert: He wants to return all of the deported Venezuelan gangsters and drug-dealers back to the US.
Oh great, they race- and gender-swapped Wallace from Wallace and Grommit, and turned him into an anti-white racist to boot.
Tonight is the official planned debut of the new CBS Evening News, though they actually moved up the debut to two days ago to cover the capture of Maduro. Is it worth watching? I have no idea.
A leftist revenged-doxxed a man who he claimed was Delta Force's (secret) commander. Apparently he doxxed the wrong man. Leftist media had already gotten into bed with him; maybe he'll lose his HBO show. He's rabidly anti-american and anti-military:Brad R. TorgersenGuess who just had this Solid Citizen on his podcast to spread his lies about drug- and murder-crazy soldiers? That's right, of course, unregistered foreign agent Tucker Carlson. One of those totally-legitimate taxpayer-funded daycare services made so much money from babysitting -- you know, like a 13 year old girl's job -- that they bought a $93,250 Porsche, paid in full with a single check. Some Democrats, including the Democrat activists at the Politico knock-off Axios, aren't sure Democrats should support tyrannical narcoterrorists just to reflexively oppose Trump.
@BradRTorgersen
Recap for those who missed it: Seth Harp is a prior Army Reservist with an Iraq deployment to his credit, who parlayed his civ law career into a political "world conflict journalism" gig. Has a bestseller and swanky mag bylines to his credit. Claims SOF is full of murderous coke-heads. Hates Israel. Decided to doxx what he thought was a Delta Force senior officer. Doxxed literally the wrong man. Promptly went into digital hiding as a result. Will his swanky mag bylines keep his HBO option intact, or will they scuttle him due to the bad optics?
Some Democrats are grumbling at their party's largely oppositional stance to President Trump's raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying privately that their colleagues should be celebrating.
Why it matters: These lawmakers argue it could be a major political miscalculation if the party fails to applaud the downfall of a brutal dictator with sufficient volume, even given grave concerns about the operation's legality and longer-term ramifications. Party leaders have raged at Trump for bypassing Congress and leaving them in the dark about the operation to capture Maduro, which involved striking several military targets in Venezuela's capital city.
And many rank-and-file lawmakers, buoyed by polling that shows Americans largely oppose a protracted intervention in Venezuela, have also seized on Trump's comments that the U.S. will temporarily "run" the country.
Some centrists and battleground-district members -- who spoke to Axios on the condition of anonymity to offer candid criticisms of their party's messaging -- have a different view. What we're hearing: One swing-district House Democrat told Axios in a text message on Saturday, "Nuance is dead in politics." "Maduro is bad, glad he is gone ... You can't have it both ways," the lawmaker said, venting that "everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base."
Another vulnerable House Democrat told Axios in a phone interview: "As Democrats we can't just condemn what happened ... I wish the Democratic Party would be a little bit more measured on this."
"I think it looks weak," a third centrist House Democrat said. "If you don't acknowledge when there is a win for our country, then you lose all credibility." Between the lines: It's not just about politics. The second lawmaker who spoke to Axios noted that Democrats widely condemned Venezuela's sham elections last year and have long advocated for democracy abroad. "What happened to when they had the election and Maduro stole the election? There were Democrats condemning that," the House Democrat said.
"Have we forgotten what's happened ... in that country?"
The third House Democrat told Axios they were surprised "how negative the response has been" from their colleagues.
Boasberg alert: He wants to return all of the deported Venezuelan gangsters and drug-dealers back to the US.
A Venezuelan says that 'international law' didn't care when Maduro imprisoned him and tortured him, so he doesn't think 'international law" should protect his torturer, Maduro, either.
DOJ requests delay of court deadline to return deported Venezuelans to US after Maduro arrest
The DOJ said that the extension is necessary because the military operation over the weekend has led to "substantial changes" in the country
The Justice Department requested a week-long delay of a court deadline to return deported Venezuelans to the United States after the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a U.S. military operation. The DOJ is facing a Monday deadline from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to either "facilitate the return" of the deported Venezuelan nationals to the U.S. or "otherwise provide them with hearings that satisfy the requirements of due process," the Washington Examiner reported.
Oh great, they race- and gender-swapped Wallace from Wallace and Grommit, and turned him into an anti-white racist to boot.

A Hilton Hotel Refuses Service to the DHS
Hilton Hotels is going to have a very bad week. They've decided to opt for the Bud Light Treatment and align themselves with the Left's anti-Trump "Resist" movement. How? By denying hotel rooms in Minneapolis to government officials. Both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have called out the hotel mega-chain. "When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations," DHS wrote on X. "This is UNACCEPTABLE. Why is Hilton Hotels siding with murderers and rapists to deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission to enforce our nation's immigration laws?" DHS also shared an email from a Hilton employee with the subject "Upcoming reservation." In the email, the employee wrote, "After further investigation online, we have found immigration work connected with your name, and we will be canceling your upcoming reservation. You should see a proper cancellation email in your inbox shortly from Hilton."

Nicolas Maduro: I'm a Prisoner of War or Something
He also says he's President of Venezuela, which is insane, because I know from Tucker Carlson that the real president of Venezuela is now Binyamin Netanyahu or some other GloboHomo Jew.
Are you kidding me? It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to convince an elderly leftist to give up government power.
Nicolas Maduro described himself as a "prisoner of war" during his first court appearance since being captured by the United States. The deposed Venezuelan president formally pleaded not guilty to narco-terrorism and weapons charges in a New York court on Monday afternoon. Wearing a blue shirt over an orange undershirt, Mr Maduro was asked by the judge to confirm his identity. Speaking in Spanish, he replied: "I am the president of Venezuela. I consider myself a prisoner of war. I was captured at my home in Caracas." The judge cut him short, saying there would be "a time and a place" to address those claims. Mr Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores, also appeared in court, dressed in the same prison clothing. Asked to enter his plea, Mr Maduro said: "I am innocent. I am not guilty of anything mentioned here." ... The case is being overseen by Alvin Hellerstein, 92, a federal judge appointed by Bill Clinton nearly three decades ago.

SecWar Pete Hegseth Announces Reduction of Mark Kelly's Retirement Pay In Wake of "Seditious" Video Counseling Armed Forces Personnel to Refuse Lawful Orders
I'd've preferred hanging, but I guess this is something.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Monday announced administrative action against Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., over his participation in a video that he deemed "reckless and seditious." Kelly, in November, appeared alongside several other Democratic lawmakers in a video urging American servicemembers to disobey "illegal orders" from President Donald Trump. The video generated outcry from conservatives, many of whom suggested the lawmakers were attempting to incite disloyalty in the military. "[T]he Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret)," Hegseth announced. "The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. sec. 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay."
Secretary of War Pete HegsethSomeone on Twitter pointed out that, despite the left's psyops about Hegseth being unqualified, every action he's ordered has gone off without a hitch. It's almost as if the military performs better when it's led by someone who knows what he's doing and also does not hate the military itself.
@SecWar 2h Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly -- and five other members of Congress -- released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice. And the Department of War -- and the American people -- expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements -- and his pattern of reckless misconduct -- the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. sec. 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly's public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay.

Zohran Mamdani's Head of Tenant/Rental Policy: We're Going to Start Seizing Property From Its Owners, Especially "White Families"
Updated: She Repeatedly Calls for the Seizure of Private Property
Updated: She Repeatedly Calls for the Seizure of Private Property
That headline is not juiced. It's what she says.
Sabrina (LionHearted)
@LionHearted76 13h Wow.... 😶 Absolutely speechless! "For centuries we really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good, in transitioning into treating it as a collective good and towards the model of shared equity...it will mean that families, especially White families...are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have." This is the same damaging trajectory as Biden letting in millions of unvetted illegals, as Gavin Newsom making a law that no one needs voter ID to vote, and the same 'collectivism' that Maduro used to ruin Venezuela. For New Yorkers to vote for this idiocy was pure insanity.

Retarded Spinster Margaret Brennan Clowns Herself So Hard on Venezuela That No One Will Ever Be Able to Top It
(Except Tucker Carlson, One Day Later)
(Except Tucker Carlson, One Day Later)
Margaret Brennan says she's "confused" why Hegseth (and Rubio) just didn't order Delta Force to not only land inside a military base to capture Maduro, but also order five other helicopter squads to simultaneously capture the other top five leaders of his regime.
Why didn't we just do five simultaneous Al Qaeda captures when we got OBL? My guess would be: Because as soon as you do one, the entire country is alerted to your presence, so you have to get the Big One and get out, quick. But that's too obvious. Margaret Brennan is "confused" why Delta Force just didn't execute five other Miracle Operations in perfect coordinated simultaneity.Ryan Saavedra
@RyanSaavedra 21h Marco Rubio schools Margaret Brennan after she demands answers over why the U.S. did not arrest all of Nicolas Maduro's henchmen: "You're confused? I don't know why that's confusing to you. ... It is not easy to land helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in the country, the guy lived on a military base, land within three minutes, kick down his door, grab him, put him in handcuffs, read him his rights, put him in a helicopter and leave the country without losing any American or any American assets. That's not an easy mission. And you're asking me, why didn't we do that in five other places at the same time? I mean, that's absurd."

Governor Uptwinkles Tim Walz Annouces Withdrawal from Re-Election Campaign After Democrats Tell Him He Can't Win (and Will be Primaried)
In a video below the fold, it's reported that Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar met with Walz and told him she's running to replace him as governor and she showed him polls showing that he would lose.
Democrats need you to know two things: 1, there is no fraud in Minnesota and even if there is fraud, it's not the Democrats' fault and they've been fighting it like cracked-up bears. 2, Tim Walz has failed and needs to go or else he'll be primaried by another Democrat. It's exactly as it was with Joe Biden -- he's completely, 100% mentally fit but also he needs to withdraw from the race or else all donors will close their wallets to him. Tampon Tim wraps it up.Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pulled the plug on his re-election bid Monday, abruptly stepping away from a once-touted run for a third term as his administration remains engulfed by sprawling fraud cases that critics say ballooned into the billions on his watch. Walz, a Democrat and former 2024 vice-presidential pick of Kamala Harris, announced the decision after months of mounting scrutiny over taxpayer dollars siphoned through state programs--an issue Republicans have pressed relentlessly and one that has begun to rattle Democrats privately as well. In a statement released before a planned press conference, Walz said he had entered the race last September believing he could win a historic third term, but concluded after discussions with family and advisers over the holidays that he could not devote himself fully to a campaign. He framed the exit as a choice to prioritize governing, arguing that time spent defending his political future would detract from protecting Minnesotans from criminals who "prey on our generosity" and from political cynics who exploit division.He also, get this, Blamed Trump, claiming that he was dropping out of the race because he could not abide Trump attacking his beloved Somali Pirate Donors. His statement is released in a font similar to Comic Sans, called Middle Aged Queen Sans.

THE MORNING RANT: Regime Toppling is the Proper Response to Despots Engaged in Terror & Asymmetric Warfare Against the U.S.
America’s national security has been strengthened by the removal of Maduro. Any foreign leader who continues to engage in asymmetric warfare against American civilians should strongly reconsider the consequence of what s/he is doing. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]
Russia is offering stark criticism of the U.S. military attack on Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. “This morning, the United States carried out an act of armed aggression against Venezuela. This causes deep concern and condemnation,” Russia said in a statement from its Foreign Ministry.By taking out the communist leadership in Venezuela, and with the imminent(?) toppling of the Iranian mullocracy, a very powerful message has been sent to any despot who wants to cause harm to the United States. As Zineb Riboua said, “At the end of the day, it is absolutely crucial for any leader around the globe to believe that the United States can get him if it wants to. That belief is deterrence. And that type of willpower is the backbone of national security.”

The Morning Report — 1/5/26
Along with the destruction of the Iranian nuclear weapons sites, the action to take down Maduro will likely be another jewel in the crown of President Trump's foreign policy triumphs and there are still three years left to his presidency.
Now just to play devil's advocate for a moment . President Trump has indeed reasserted and reinvigorated the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine. Now, if taking Maduro out along with the rise of Milei, Bukele and Kast, which hopefully leads to the ouster of Lula in Brazil and who knows, even the fall of Communism and the ultimate liberation of the tropical gulag of Cuba. While the Red Chinese have been worming their way into our hemisphere, what if Xi and the Chi-Coms ultimately do make a move to take Taiwan, could they not then if not right now cite the President's actions against Maduro as justification? And of course it's a good thing to check the rise of communism abroad especially in our own hemisphere but then again, look what the hell is going on right here at home in NYC!
So We bagged Maduro. Can we put the bag on Soros and decapitate the leadership of Antifa, BLM, the ACLU/SPLC/CAIR and the DNC??? Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The deterrent effect of this operation cannot be overstated. The cartels and kingpins that have historically poisoned the US with drugs are now on notice. Sure, the US military will continue to bomb their vessels on the high seas. But what scares them more now is the prospect of being captured and then getting shipped to the United States to face justice. Don’t expect everyone in the United States to cheer this historic event, though. Ever since the failed experiments to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan, neo-isolationists in Washington have warned that America must avoid regime change at all costs. Their howls of disapproval can be expected in the days and weeks to come. For now, Trump intends for the United States to run the government in Venezuela until a suitable government can be installed. And that carries with it significant risk. If Venezuela unravels, Trump will be blamed. If the wider region descends into chaos, the president will be saddled with that, too. Will Trump’s base give him the opportunity to improve upon the regime-change failures of his predecessors? He appears determined to try. In truth, the regime-change controversy is of secondary importance. Bringing down Maduro was about bringing the Western hemisphere back under the influence of the United States. Maduro was not just the head of a narco-state. He was an ally of America’s nastiest enemies. n fact, Maduro met with a senior Chinese delegation in Caracas shortly before he was captured by US special forces. But Maduro’s regime was not just an ally to China. The regime in Caracas was also a valuable partner to other rogue states like Russia, Cuba and Iran. Even the Republic of Turkey, a notoriously unreliable NATO ally, has been an ally to the Maduro regime. The government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the fifth member of Venezuela’s “Fabulous Five” — the countries that helped prop up the Venezuelan strongman. One or more of these regimes may try to exploit the vacuum in Venezuela. They may not be able to restore Maduro to power. But they can try to make America pay a price for ousting their ally. The Trump administration must bare its teeth now, and warn them to keep out. If done right, the ousting of Maduro will weaken the influence of America’s adversaries in our hemisphere. It will deprive the cartels of a transit hub for shipments to the United States. And it will deprive our enemies of a valued ally. If that’s how things play out, not a bad start to 2026.

Let Slip The Dogs Of War
We were promised forever wars by the bien pensants, and President Trump has disappointed us greatly.
The surgical strike on Iran's major nuclear facilities was a superb example of American technological superiority, logistics skill, intelligence capability, war planning, and above all, the marvel of the American military unleashed to do what they do better than any other military in the history of the world...kill people and break things. It was no carefully titrated and calibrated attack designed to "send a message." No empty buildings far from everything were destroyed. No warning was issued...no dangerous and counterproductive rules of engagement (ROE) were handed down from the White House. The mission was given to our military, and they were trusted to complete it in the best way possible. And that meant flying more than 7,000 miles with multiple refuelings, and dropping the largest conventional bombs in our inventory onto targets that were just a few meters in diameter. The bombers were protected by the most advance military aircraft on earth. An Ohio class submarine also launched cruise missiles from...who knows where...to complete the destruction of the targets. No losses of any kind. No leaks from a formerly porous Pentagon and administration. Nothing but a clear and unambiguous military action that was successful in its mission, and also made clear to the world that the United States Military is a force unlike anything they have ever seen. Yesterday the rest of the military said, "hold my beer," and captured the head of the Venezuela cartel, otherwise known as the "President" of Venezuela. Maduro and his wife were taken from the heart of the country, and are now in jail in NYC. No loss of life, no equipment was lost, and the mission seems to have gone exactly as planned. Tellingly, there was no leaking before the fact, as has been the pathetic case for years. Delta Force and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment did their jobs well, which means they demonstrated that they are perhaps the best in the world. Without the political and social binds of an insanely woke, globalist administration, the United States military showed what they are made of. Secretary Hegseth has clearly had an outsized influence on our armed forces, and an even bigger one on the previously unaccountable mandarins who thought they ran our military. He has purged or compartmentalized them so they can do no damage. He has unleashed the traditional and ferocious martial spirit of America, and our military responded overwhelmingly. No more struggle sessions...no more transsexual lunacy...no more race-baiting. Just fine Americans doing what they have been trained to do. And that IS a message...to the world. Sure, Iran will spout their typical vitriol, but they know that we are now serious, and have the capacity to back up our words with actions. But more importantly it is a message to those who would interfere with the countries in our back yard. The new Monroe Doctrine (The Donroe Doctrine?) is being fleshed out, and it is no coincidence that conservative leaders are arising in Central and South America. They know they have a friend in America. Hopefully that doesn't mean "Nation Building" like the vile Bush wing of the Republican party loved to do, and failed at. But the President has already said that we will be running Venezuela only until they sort out their own mess, which is quite different than the open-ended quagmires we have been in over the last 20+ years. President Trump seems to want a strong and free Western Hemisphere, unburdened by the hangover of Soviet socialism or Chinese expansionism. And that is a fine plan, because with strength and freedom comes free markets and wealth and emergence from the 3rd world squalor that has enveloped much of the region, courtesy of socialism! Am I entirely happy with the way the President decapitated Venezuela? No. In a perfect world he would have consulted our representatives in Congress, but they have made it perfectly clear that they cannot be trusted to support the best interests of the country, or oppose the administration in a principled way. So what President Trump did was the next best thing, and it is also in the best interest of the American people!Posted by: CBD at 12:00 PM | Comments (443) | Trackbacks (Suck)
