Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Trump Speaking Now: "This Is Big Stuff"The screechy communist whore vice president shrieked on TV after Maduro's capture. Venezuela's socialist regime appeared rattled and scrambling Saturday after its own vice president publicly admitted she does not know where dictator Nicolás Maduro is, hours after President Trump announced that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been captured and flown out of the country following U.S. military action. Speaking by phone with state-run broadcaster VTV, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez said the regime had lost contact with both Maduro and Flores and demanded that Washington provide what she called "proof of life," an extraordinary on-air concession from a government that has long projected absolute control. "In light of this brutal situation and this brutal attack, we do not know the whereabouts of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores," Rodríguez said during the broadcast, accusing the United States of having "violated, attacked, and assaulted" Venezuela. She repeatedly pressed the Trump administration to account for Maduro and Flores, framing the operation as an act of aggression rather than addressing the disappearance itself. Rodríguez went on to claim Maduro had warned Venezuelans such an operation could happen, blaming what she described as American "energy greed" for the strike.Audio at the link. Does she sound scared? Well, Bulg says she's so scared that four sources say she's already fled to Tucker Carlson's other favorite "conservative" country, Russia. Reuters is reporting that the Venezuelan VP is in Russia, according to four sources. Posted by: BulgPress conference link below:

Russia is offering stark criticism of the U.S. military attack on Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.
In response, Russia called for a full meeting of the United Nations Security Council. “This morning, the United States carried out a 'special military operation' against Venezuela. This causes deep concern and condemnation,” Russia said in a statement from its Foreign Ministry. Posted by: SMOD at January 03, 2026 11:04 AM (GITLP) 30

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at January 03, 2026 11:29 AM (BI5O2) I would guess certain elements of the CIA would agree with you, since that would close some corridors of investigation like Epstein's death did.

"The life of Edmundo González Urrutia, 75, has taken a tremendous turn in the last year. The presidential elections held in Venezuela on July 28, 2024 awarded the majority of votes to the opposition candidacy that he led, according to the voting tallies that were made public by the opposition but which Nicolás Maduro’s regime never recognized. Despite being recognized as the winner by more than a dozen countries around the world, González, a career diplomat, ended up taking refuge in two embassies in Caracas (first in that of the Netherlands, then Spain) before finally going into exile in Madrid. From the Spanish capital he is leading efforts to ensure that the will of Venezuelans as expressed at the polls last year is respected.

> Power distribution in Caracas, Venezuela, managed by state-owned CORPOELEC, is characterized by a failing infrastructure, frequent blackouts, corruption, and lack of investment, leading to rationing, citizen protests, and reliance on hydroelectricity, despite government claims of sabotage. While Caracas has sometimes been shielded, the grid's overall instability causes widespread disruption, with efforts to modernize hampered by economic crises and sanctions.

We have Maduro. Put him on trial. Leave Venezuela and let them fix the mess. Americans trying to run the country while rebuilding the oil country - which Trump said will pay for all of this - sounds a lot like Iraq. Pass. Posted by: Diabeetus at January 03, 2026 12:42 PM (0VkZe) 735
Regarding the use of the Southern District of New York, that might be a statutory thing for the specific charges Maduro faces. Perhaps international stuff like that affects the US but didn't take place on US soil goes to that district by default.

This isn't Iraq, it's an oil-rich Catholic country that's been devastated by an incompetent kleptocrat government for several decades. They can handle it all themselves once they figure out who they want in charge. Meanwhile, we're guarding the oil fields, ending the smuggling routes, and locking China and Russia out of the country.

Trump is talking about running Venezuela, but without having taken it over militarily, as far as I've heard. So that can only mean that insiders in power were compromised by the US, right?

I'll tell you who else is very concerned right now. Mark Carney and our Liberal neighbors residing to our north. This is the deal maker strategy that Trump excels at. Venezuela has a wealth of Heavy Crude. It's remarkably similar to the reserves held by Canada.
Later this year the USMCA (NAFTA) is scheduled for re-negotiation. The Heavy Crude factor (refined in the US) was a point of leverage for Canada. Now, conceivably, it is much less of a leverage point. Trump is preparing the field to negotiate with our second largest trading partner. All the other reasons for overturning Venezuela, while valid, was just noise. Get ready to contend with a resurgence of Valero gas stations in the US. Also, get ready for another dip in fuel costs (at least in the Red states). Posted by: Orson at January 03, 2026 01:06 PM (dIske) 849

Here we go. The leftards have their new talking point.
No one voted for running Venezuela. This isn't America first. Trump is ignoring the American people. So, I guess they're going to try to run to the right of Trump on this issue. Like Oblabla did McCain. ... Posted by: naturalfake at January 03, 2026 12:57 PM (iJfKG) The same Democrats that were mad that the U.S. military was blowing-up Maduro's drug boats in international waters, those Democrats? Americans have given a collective yawn to that Orange Man Bad line of attack. Let's not forget that the Democrats and their stooges in the media have been bleating about one thing after another as the "existential threat to democracy (tm)." Remember when rebuilding the East Wing was constant criticism? The Commies will move on to something else in a few weeks. Even their true-believers don't have any enthusiasm. I have a Lefty brother-in-law: he is a reliable indicator for whatever programming has gone out to the NPCs as the latest bete noire for their performative outrage.

https://x.com/MJTruthUltra/status/2007509638175174910 Again, if you research this evil woman, you will see that she has made more people "disappear" in Venezuela than anybody. Her reputation is that she enjoyed torturing the children of political opponents. She was in charge of the Helicoide, a prison where hundreds have been tortured under her authority. I'm very happy for the Venezuelan people today! But this choice is mystifying to me. I hope it's just to draw her out of Russia and catch her. I read that her brother has fled to Mexico.

Or not. Being on a USN ship for a couple days buys time. I'm not saying torture, but, yea... time for Maduro to "think about his position in life."

"Yet your first reaction was, "Trump has betrayed Venezuelans!!!"
Was not. Please do not put words in my mouth. I said Trump's team was stepping on their own dick. The man is great, but nobody's infallible. I think this is a mistake. Is it okay to question some specific actions of a president I overall support? It does sound like she betrayed Maduro. Maybe there was an agreement in place where she gets to keep her skin in one piece and has to play nice while transferring power over to the democratic process. That would be great. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Venezuelans try to tear her to pieces anyway. Posted by: lauraw at January 03, 2026 02:29 PM (Vx9n2) 1006

Posted by: Hellooooo, McFly! ======== Indictment dates from 2020. This does not preclude additional charges in other states and federal districts. Often you have a holding indictment that is superceded by new information. In the case of Maduro, you probably have a lot of underlings willing to spill the beans on matters like cartel ops, interfering in US elections (Smartmatic was a Venezuelan company and its software also runs Dominion Voting Systems), bribery of US officials (apparently we have a list of State and CIA officials bribed by Venezuela now), etc. Posted by: whig at January 03, 2026 02:43 PM (WDjG6) 1039

He "claims" he has what he wants now with both acoustic and electric. He also knows I have no more room for my china/crystal collection (until I get my mother's). Her blast off to heaven will be mourned and also some stress with my mens as I arrange a van to haul stuff here. There will be whining that I will ignore. Our sons will then add to their own mourning when we blast off and they have to have an estate sale. I simply don't care what they think. I still use the dishes and the skier son can keep on skiing, and the fisherman son can keep on fishing as they have their own "stuff."

Simply a holding indictment that under the Noriega precedents meant US executive was legally protected from acting to bring him into custody.

I think it's a bit more nuanced. The goal seems to be to return Venezuela to its democrat ways prior to Chavez. They do have a constitution that has a line of succession and she is the VP, like it or not. and given who appointed her I doubt either Trump or Rubio like her.

By then I was looney from stress and then spontaneously laughing hysterically at him and Jerry Revolto and Shep Dikhead Smith. The stress of seeing the MS Coast of my childhood wiped off the map later gave me heart arrythmias. I was also worried about my invalid father as they did not have power for 2wks. From stress the docs said. I can get worked up and it is a silent work up vs acting out or simply crying like a normal person. I internalize then something blows. Hives has also been on the menu weeks after something stressful. People think I am doing well & calm, and I think I am doing well with whatever we are dealing with.

Posted by: whig Sure, but if VZ actually can manage a stable anti-commie government, nothing prevents them from restarting an extradition treaty with the US. He'll stew in a US prison for a year or two, then back home he goes. Posted by: weft cut-loop at January 03, 2026 03:05 PM (mlg/3) 1067

Posted by: toby928(c) at January 03, 2026 02:37 PM (jc0TO) She mentioned Pensacola once so I thought she was on the coast...I guess she's further inland.

Big Daddy Donald is so hot when he invades defenseless 3rd World countries. Makes my downstairs area all wet.

============ "She's willing to do what she needs to do to make Venezuela great again. " That could be stepping aside.

Bukele saying he was involved in the Venezuela thing and he'll be glad to have Maduro in CECOT. Nice.

>>> 1047 In fact, I think it's better if he's tried in VZ. They deserve to throw the switch on this fuckin' pig. When we depose our regime, I don't want some foreigner getting to gas people like Ilhan Omar. That's for us.

Using Shapiro to describe how Tuca 'supports' Maduro?!
C'mon Ace, do better. Since nobody in the American UniParty government has done a thing - except perhaps grift - about Maduro/Chavez for 25 years under the Monroe Doctrine... well... maybe our UniParty and their lobbyists has benefitted from the relationship. Shapiro is part of that UniParty. Gee, the Deep State(CIA) drug running ops have yielded hundreds of billions that are unaccounted for....

Good luck with Making Venezuela Great Again. I guess one day someone will try that with America, if we're lucky, and all the Jewish Neocon Bloggers let us.

To his credit, America has never been known to be very militarily active during Christmas times.
America: A country that will cross a river full of ice, in a blizzard, in the dark of night, kill your FOP with knives, swords, and bayonets so as not to disturb the sleeping Hessians who partied hard on Christmas.
