Trump Orders Air Strikes on Venezuela, Sends In Delta Force to Capture Nicolas Madura and His Wife
My mood, thanks to Michael the Texan.
Maduro and his wife have been captured and brought to the US to stand trial for drug trafficking and, if I know my Trump, election interference in the 2020 rigged election.
Obviously, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Glenn Greenwald, and all the leftwing pinko pacifists who now, apparently, represent the True Conservative Right are the hardest hit. As for me? I voted for Trump's foreign policy, not ANSWER's foreign policy, not Ron Paul's foreign policy, and certainly not fat alcoholic Nazi Tucker Carlson's foreign policy. Good luck trying to bend Trump to your will, Qatar-funded FARA faggots.
🚨 BREAKING: This Venezuelan man is going viral for explaining to everyone why Maduro NEEDED to be toppled
— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) January 3, 2026
The Democrats are clueless.
“Venezuela has already been invaded.” 🔥🇺🇸
He knows his country.
The people are ecstatic.

Today you’re going to hear the same cast of paid leftist clowns trying to spin the arrest of Maduro like it is going to start World War III.
— VINCENT OSHANA (@VincentOshana) January 3, 2026
Ignore them.
Listen to the people of Venezuela. They are celebrating. A cartel leader who destroyed their country is finally gone. pic.twitter.com/ypH6hDgYnB
Hey @TuckerCarlson, GO FUCK YOURSELF. TRUMP JUST SPIT-ROASTED VENEZUELA LIKE IT WAS YOUR WIFE. GO GET SUCKED OFF BY GLENN GREENWALD YOU GAY RETARD

President Trump says a second wave of strikes on Venezuela was locked and loaded, but wasn’t needed:
"We were prepared to do a second wave. This was so lethal, we didn't have to. We were out with an armada like nobody's ever seen."

3) Additional doc will show funding of leftie groups in the US
4) the communists in Cuba will fall.

6) then on to Nicaragua

That's the least of it, I'm sure. Execution just doesn't seem enough for this sort of vermin, but I'm not sure that's even what we have in mind for him.
Trump is seriously cleaning up South America. Argentina, and now IIRC Chile and Bolivia have turned away from Globalist authoritarianism.
I have to expect that Brazil will be cleaned up too, eventually. The guy they put in prison there seemed to be more popular in Brazil that even Trump was in the US.
Oh, and I saw the regime falling in Iran from a mile away. I knew Trump wasn't going to destroy those nuclear sites, and then just walk away and let them get rebuilt. There was already an insurgency in the works. It was only a matter of time.
Everybody get it yet? Time to stop talking about adding Trump on Mount Rushmore, and start talking about a Mount Trump.

I think the world is going to be shocked at how quickly US industry will be able to get the Venezuela oil back on line.
Oh and this can't be understated:
China sent their trade delegation there just days ago. No f'ing way they "lose face" by having their top diplomats there and this happen right under their "nose."
But it did. We just sent a massive bomb up to the Chinese spy agencies:

This will encourage the protesters in Iran that Trump really does have their back.
The woman who willlikely now take her rightful place has already said that one of her first acts will be to move their embassy to Jerusalem.
This is not just about our Southern hemisphere, although Brazil should be taking notice.
The Europeans should be paying attention. Trump is not fooling around. Get on the same page here or NATO may become a thing of the past.

Translated from Persian
Ali Khamenei, terrified of the waves of the national uprising, emerged from his hiding place and threatened the people of Iran.
Khamenei! We, the people of Iran, will drag you down from your shaky seat just like Zahhak and free our Iran from the evil of you and your regime.
To the military and security forces! Do not tie your fate to the sinking ship of the Islamic Republic. Join the people and separate yourselves from the corrupt regime. Your weapons are for defending the people, not suppressing them. Those who fire bullets at the people can be sure that they will be identified and punished.
Fellow compatriots,
Do not abandon the streets; expand your presence even further. The world sees your steadfastness and bravery and supports you.

This is the Donroe Doctrine. It's very much about telling the Chicoms (and to lesser extents, Rooskies and mullahs, but the mullahs have been degraded) to stay the fuck out of our hemisphere.
The Chicoms were sending tankers to Venezuela to defy the blockade, and this just short-circuited the hell out of that ploy, and while they were in Caracas to boot.

President Trump has changed the course of history in our hemisphere. Our country & the world are safer for it.
Today’s decisive action is this hemisphere’s equivalent to the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
It’s a big day in Florida, where the majority of Venezuelan, Cuban, & Nicaraguan exiles reside. This is the community I represent & we are overwhelmed with emotion and hope.
We are forever grateful to President Trump & to our brave service members for this stellar military operation.

He telegraphs every move. He says it aloud. "I'm going to do this." And everyone scoffs, and then he does it.
Sometimes he makes it a question: "Shall I do this or that?" and that creates uncertainty, because he rarely decides not to act, but it's always out there.
The Establishment is used to making pronouncements and expecting people to believe them, but they stopped backing it up years ago. They think magic words are enough. Trump backs up his words, and so now the words often are enough.

But sure, let’s build a mosque on the same street where the Twin Towers stood. Let’s declare Islamic Eids official days off in New York. Let’s allow public calls to prayer. Let’s allow Muslims to occupy public squares. And let’s light up New York monuments, monuments Islam failed to destroy, in celebration of Islam’s holy month.

President Trump must cease U.S. military strikes on Venezuela immediately. The actions taken today by the Trump administration are blatantly illegal. Venezuela poses no imminent national security threat to the United States and Congress has not voted to authorize any use of force in the region. Speaker Johnson must call the House of Representatives back into session immediately to reign in this out-of-control President.
Release the Kraken! @legler_aaron

And the ChiComms benefit from the Russian Death Cult.
And the Muzzie Iranians benefit from the ChiComm Death Cult.
And Trump's Puppet-Masters -- the Israelis -- thus benefit from the Muzzie Iranian Death Cult, which rationalizes and further gives the Western Anti-Semite Death Cults excuses and "reasons" to clamor for another Jewish Holocaust "final solution" -- which gives meaning and clickbait money ... but mostly clickbait money ... to their otherwise delusional and meaningless pathetic self-hating lives.

His stepmother, Patricia Caroline Swanson (whom his father married in 1979 when Tucker was 10), is an heiress to the Swanson family fortune. Her family founded the company famous for TV dinners, but they sold it to Campbell Soup Company in 1955 — long before Tucker's birth or the marriage. The family no longer owns the brand or company.
Patricia adopted Tucker and his brother, and he added "Swanson" to his legal name (Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson). She remained a beneficiary of the original family wealth, which provided a comfortable upbringing for Tucker. Some reports suggest he may receive modest ongoing income from related family trusts (estimates vary, but it's not a massive fortune tied to active company ownership).

No, the Tucker Carlson family is not the largest landowner in California — that claim appears to be a misconception or misinformation.
Tucker Carlson's family background includes some historical land ties, but nothing on that scale today:
His biological mother's side descends from 19th-century California rancher Henry Miller (the "Cattle King"), who at his peak owned vast rangeland (estimates up to 3 million acres across multiple states). However, those holdings were divided and largely sold off generations ago.
Carlson inherited (after legal battles) a share of oil and gas mineral rights/royalties tied to roughly 70,000 acres of family land in rural California from his mother, valued in the millions — but this is royalties, not surface land ownership.

Domino 3 is Russia. They just entered into a 15 Lease Security and Energy agreement with Venezuela to get around sanctions. As of today, Russia is uncertain as to whether they will continue doing business with Venezuela...AND now Trump has solid leverage against Russia in the Russia/Ukraine peace talks.

What Epstein problem?
Someone said something similar to me Thursday night at a party. So I said "what problem", and he sputtered for ten minutes. Literally he had no idea past the headline what he was trying to say. And yrs, he watches MSDNC for his news.

I knew a Venezuelan MD well in FL. A caring, Christian man. He married an American woman and became a US citizen. He despised Chavez and I can only imagine what he thought of Maduro.
The day Chavez won he said, "That's the end of the country I knew." He then worked on getting his parents out and to the US. This was back in the early 90's. So I know somewhere in FL he is thrilled today.
He came from an affluent family in Maracaibo, as he told me of his grandparent's house. How wonderful it was to grow up there. His love of place. Javier, I hope you can now go back to visit with your children and grandchildren without fear.

Maybe after today that tone will be less ironic. But it's still way too early to make that call...

Trump's next executive order:
"Whereas former president Obama repeatedly declared that Muslims had played a huge part in building the United States, and given the importance of June to the Muslim faith, I hereby order that June will be BOTH "Muslim and Gay Appreciation Month" in the U.S. so both groups can celebrate together."
