Gary kicks off a solo Friday with overdue good news — California is officially drought-free for the first time in 25 years — but questions the record low snowfall totals. He then breaks down the growing controversy over federal immigration-related shootings in Minneapolis and Portland, where recent use of force incidents by ICE and Border Patrol have sparked public outcry and complicated jurisdictional questions about who’s leading the investigations amid conflicting claims. CBS News+1 NewsNation National Security Contributor Lt. Gen. Richard Newton joins to discuss the seizure of a fifth Venezuelan oil tanker and what it signals for global security and energy tensions. Plus, a story first heard on The Gary and Shannon Show: NASA is moving forward with a rescue mission to bring astronauts home due to an undisclosed medical issue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Calls for the Department of Justice's Inspector General to step in and investigate the handling of the Epstein files release have intensified as delays, contradictions, and shifting explanations continue to pile up. What began as cautious skepticism has hardened into open frustration from lawmakers, transparency advocates, and legal experts who argue that the DOJ's conduct no longer passes the smell test. Despite Congress passing legislation mandating disclosure, the DOJ has repeatedly claimed it needs years to review and redact millions of documents—an assertion that critics say directly conflicts with the government's long-standing position that Epstein was thoroughly investigated years ago. If the material was already reviewed, categorized, and litigated over in past prosecutions and civil cases, the argument goes, then the idea that it suddenly requires a near-decade scrub looks less like due diligence and more like institutional stalling.As a result, pressure has mounted for the Inspector General to examine whether the DOJ is acting in good faith or deliberately slow-walking compliance to shield itself from embarrassment, exposure, or liability. Lawmakers have raised concerns that the department may be protecting its own past misconduct—failed prosecutions, ignored evidence, sweetheart deals, and inter-agency breakdowns—by burying the record under procedural excuses. Survivor advocates have echoed those demands, warning that endless delays amount to a second betrayal, one that favors bureaucratic self-preservation over transparency and accountability. With every missed deadline and shifting justification, calls for an independent IG probe grow louder, fueled by the belief that the only way the public will ever learn the truth about Epstein's protection is if the DOJ is investigated by someone who doesn't have a vested interest in keeping the lid on.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Delayed release of Epstein files triggers calls for internal watchdog review - CBS News

Hundreds of demonstrators protested on Thursday outside a federal building in Minneapolis where ICE is headquartered. Once protesters reached the edge of the property, a line of federal agents began to build and within minutes, officers tried to push them back, spraying the ground and then the crowd with pepper balls. Residents in Portland, Oregon, protested Thursday after officials say two people were shot by Border Patrol agents. Gwen Baumgardner has more on how the shooting unfolded. President Trump invited Colombian President Gustavo Petro to the White House after previously accusing him of sending cocaine to the U.S. Petro told CBS News he would go to the White House to "stop a world war" following the U.S. operation in Venezuela. Lilia Luciano reports. The Department of Education is sending out wage garnishment notices this week that could impact millions of student loan borrowers who have defaulted. CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger explains who is affected and what to do if you receive a notice. While covering school shootings, Steve Hartman said he found himself growing numb to the tragedies. In 2018, he started writing letters to families that lost a child in a school shooting since Sandy Hook, asking if he and photographer Lou Bopp could document their child's bedroom. Hartman and director Joshua Seftel talk about their Netflix short documentary, "All the Empty Rooms." Millions of Americans who use Gmail are getting a new package of tools, driven by artificial intelligence.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 48: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: This is Trump’s terrorism; this is the Kent State of our time. A peaceful, unarmed protestor, murdered by Trump’s ICE, while Trump’s Lie Factory and Trump personally smeared her, blamed her, made up a story of threat where there was no threat, altered images, lied about her, lied about what the Gestapo they sent to kill Americans in American cities did to her. Two weeks from Saturday, it will be ten years since he said it. January 24, 2016: I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” And once again his stochastic terrorist murderous wish has come true. Only it was on East 34th Street in Minneapolis. One of his Border-Patrol-ICE militia shot and killed Renee Macklin Good. ICE killed her, and then they slandered her. Trump has his wish. The Trump Administration has begun its shooting war, its reign of terror, against the peaceful and unarmed citizens of the United States. It can be disputed whether Renee Macklin Good was the first. It cannot be disputed that unless Trump is legally restrained, she will not be the last. And later, the ICE/Border Control militia attacked a Minneapolis high school. And Trump chose the day of his crime-by-proxy, after the murder, to insist that he has quote “determined” that the military budget for 2027 needs to be increased from the obscene level of one trillion dollars… by FIFTY PERCENT to a trillion and a half. That is the military he wants to use against American civilians on American streets. That is the military he JUST used against American civilians on American streets in Minneapolis. ALSO: I DON'T MAKE THE RULES. Trump's renditioning of Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela means, simply, that any country that would like to send a squad to this country to abduct one of our leaders needs only to have first indicted Trump in their own country - and cut a deal with JD Vance to take over as presidency and swear fealty to their country. B-Block (29:00) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Earlier this week seemed to have been dedicated to Trump's most concentrated revelation of his insanity. Tuesday, at a Republican retreat, he hit all the notes, and pretty much cemented the idea that he indeed suffers from anosognosia (an inability to perceive an illness, especially a dementia-related one). C-Block (37:00) DEATH BY MEDIA: This is just day six of the Tony Dokoupil debacle but if you don't think CBS could bail out of this fast, I was a witness when they took their third most profitable news property - the local CBS News in Los Angeles - and invented a new format called "The News Wheel." It went over so poorly it was cancelled after a month and a day. And since Bari Weiss skipped right past trying to emulate Fox News and went directly to Alex Jones News, they may have to bail out. But there's a whole back story you may not know about. WHY Weiss personally selected Dokoupil to helm this disaster, and why Katy Tur married him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said "the loss of a human life is a tragedy" as he spoke about the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday. He said tension has built up over ICE's presence and added "this was entirely predictable." O'Hara defended his officers, who he said are being put in the middle and trying to deescalate situations. Retired ICE agent Eric Balliet, who spent a quarter century with federal law enforcement and was injured in a vehicular assault in 2008, breaks down videos that show the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Nick Reiner was set to be arraigned on murder charges on Wednesday in the killing of his parents Rob and Michele Reiner. But his defense attorney, Alan Jackson, told the judge he could no longer represent the 32-year-old. After the hearing, Jackson said he couldn't say why he withdrew for legal reasons, but added, "Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder." In changes to U.S. dietary guidelines, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Americans should focus on fresh vegetables, protein and dairy instead of highly-processed foods. Many health organizations applauded the efforts after slamming Kennedy earlier this week for changes to the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. Nancy Cordes reports.

Andrea joins Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman to expose the transnational looting spree and warn Stephen Miller will turn Venezuela into a new Alcatraz. First, we look at who stands to get rich off Trump's illegal invasion. Devin Nunes and a squad of Trump Media cronies just took over a company that tried to bid $10 billion for Citgo, Venezuela's oil crown jewel, right as their boss plotted a secret invasion. So who  won Citgo? Why, MAGA billionaire Paul Singer, a vulture capitalist who serves as Trump's ATM and hand-picked Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Who else is a big winner? The Republican Party's longtime backers, Exxon. Just as Trump hoped invading Venezuela would boost his plummeting approval ratings, Maduro threatened to invade oil-rich Guyana to distract from his own corruption. Now that Maduro is no longer harassing Exxon in Guyana, Exxon's stocks are soaring along with the rest of Big Oil. But the darkest "follow the money" story goes beyond oil. The private prison industry rakes in a fortune thanks to Trump's cruelty. El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison holds 40,000, but Trump and Stephen Miller want space for 80,000 people kidnapped from the U.S. Construction takes years; so Venezuela offers the obvious solution: the "New Alcatraz." Outsourcing prisoners to a lawless, torture-filled transnational Gulag, a story censored by Bari Weiss's CBS News, is the most troubling crisis of MAGA's illegal invasion of Venezuela and co-rule with a violent oil mafia. There's always hope, but it requires a blueprint and courage. The Venezuelan people proved their 2024 election victory through heroic citizen vote-counting: a model of resistance that we in the U.S. must study to reclaim our own democracy. We must align with these transnational forces for good to dismantle the global crime syndicate. We warned you this would happen. Now, we must organize, stand up, and remain defiant.  Show Notes: Devin Nunes and others linked to Trump Media became officers of a company soon after it made an unsuccessful $10 billion bid for Venezuelan-state-owned Citgo Petroleum's U.S. assets by Wendy Siegelman https://newstracs.com/devin-nunes-and-others-linked-to-trump-media-are-officers-of-a-company-that-bid-for-citgo/2026/01/01/ Learn from Venezuela's opposition: The Official Unofficial Record How do you count almost 12 million votes if you're not the government?

Was the Hilton Hotel involved in housing ICE Victims in its hotels throughout the country without ICE agents being aware? Mark explains. The CBS Evening News is facing criticism from left-wing critics right now, under CEO Bari Weiss, for allegedly making the structure of the newscasts more centrist, rather than being too far left or too far right.  Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Steve Forbes, Chairman of Forbes Media. Steve discusses why rolling back regulations on electric vehicles (EVs) will greatly benefit car companies. He also shares his picks for who should serve on the Federal Reserve Board as Fed Chair Jerome Powell's term comes to an end this year. If President Trump succeeds in securing oil from Latin America and possibly Greenland, the USA could see very low gas prices.

Mel Kohberger was training to become a mental health therapist when her brother was arrested for murdering four University of Idaho students. In one phone call, her entire life changed. Her job offer evaporated. Tabloids camped outside her parents' house. Online sleuths picked apart every detail of her family's history — including her sister Amanda's appearance in a 2011 horror film that featured stabbings.For three years, the Kohberger family stayed silent out of respect for the victims' families. Now, in a new interview with The New York Times, Mel is finally telling her side of the story.She reveals the last normal Christmas the family spent together — just days before the FBI raid. She describes her brother's struggles with bullying, autism, and heroin addiction, and the pride the family felt when he seemed to turn his life around. She explains the drawing Bryan held during his sentencing — not a "creepy" symbol, as tabloids claimed, but a colorful heart she made to remind him he was still loved.This isn't a defense of Bryan Kohberger. He pleaded guilty. He's serving four life sentences. This is about what happens to the people connected to someone who commits an unthinkable act — and what the true crime obsession costs the people we never think about.Featuring reporting from The New York Times, CBS News, and ABC News.#BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KohbergerSister #TrueCrimePodcast #IdahoStudentMurders #MadisonMogen #KayleeGoncalves #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Pardons, Pipe Bombs and the Campaign to Make You Forget. Stephen Miller: “Greenland Should be Part of the US” What About the War Crimes? Maduro Arraigned. Trump's Runaway Train Effect. Congrats, Montana St.  On the fifth anniversary of January 6th, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff broadcasts from a dark, gloomy New York City morning that looks and feels like the day the Capitol was attacked—and he refuses to let America forget what really happened. He opens with a raw reflection on how Trump's insurrection shattered his own family's memories of the date, then tears into Trump's runaway war footing across the Western Hemisphere, from Venezuela to Cuba, Colombia and even Greenland, and a cowardly Congress that won't assert its War Powers responsibilities or even demand answers on alleged war crimes and wounded U.S. troops.​ On this somber anniversary, Paul is joined by the “great and powerful” Scott MacFarlane, CBS News justice correspondent and arguably the most trusted reporter on January 6th in America. Reporting from inside the Cannon House Office Building, Scott reveals that Republican leadership is doing nothing official to mark the day—no memorials, no floor speeches, no shared remembrance for officers who were beaten, gassed, traumatized or killed—creating what he calls a real‑time whitewashing of history, as he details the emotional toll on Capitol Police and congressional staff who hid under desks, called their families, and then came back to work in the same halls that were under siege. He breaks down the state of accountability now: mass clemency for more than 1,500 rioters, pardons that wiped away cases even for people not yet arrested, halted and refunded restitution payments, the new pipe‑bomb arrest outside the RNC and DNC, the slow grind of the Maduro case, and how denialism has shifted from rejecting the 2020 result to denying the insurrection itself.​ Paul zooms out to connect Trump's unchecked global strikes, the risk of another government shutdown, the dissolution of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after 58 years of funding PBS, NPR and local stations, and new efforts in New York to require teaching January 6th alongside 9/11 to kids growing up in a time when that history is being rewritten. He spotlights independent veteran Senate hopeful Ty Pinkins of Mississippi and reminds listeners why Independent Veterans of America was created to back patriots like him, then rounds out the episode with culture and sports—from the X‑Men's big‑screen return to Montana State's first FCS title in 41 years and the power of football as one of America's last shared rituals—before he and Scott close by saluting the officers and staffers who “stood the line” on January 6th. For everyone tired of partisan gaslighting who knows January 6th was real and still matters, this is a home for country over party, people over politics, and light over heat—and a call to subscribe, share, support independent media, and stay vigilant, especially on January 6th. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

The U.S. operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has ignited fierce legal and political debate. Joined by CBS News legal analyst Thane Rosenbaum, Ron questions whether this was a lawful extradition or a dangerous precedent for international relations. Georgia House (23rd district) Democratic candidate Scott Sanders joins Ron to discuss Georgia's latest special election and voter frustration in deeply Republican districts. Also, former Fulton County Commission Chair Dr. John Eaves explains why building a new county jail may be the wrong investment—and why addressing root causes could lead to safer communities.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

It's Monday, January 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims in Congo, Africa kill 15 The New Year began in chaos and mourning for residents of Katanga village in North Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, reports International Christian Concern. As families gathered to welcome 2026, armed Muslim fighters from the Allied Democratic Forces, or ADF, carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people on Thursday, January 1. Working with the global Islamic State movement, the ADF is among the most dangerous terrorist groups in Congo. Venezuelan dictator captured in daring U.S. raid Venezuelans are celebrating in the streets. (Audio of celebration) Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was seized by the United States Army's secretive Delta Force unit in a daring raid on his heavily-secured compound, reports the Daily Mail. CBS News reported that the ultra-elite Delta Force unit was behind the capture of Maduro, and his wife Cilia, in the early hours of Saturday morning. The couple was seized from their bedroom in the dead of night by U.S. forces as they slept, according to CNN. The raid did not lead to any U.S. casualties. The pair was snatched by helicopter from Caracas after they had been monitored by CIA spies, with President Donald Trump giving the order to take them two days ago. President Trump says Maduro and his government have conspired to flood the United States with illegal drugs, and will now face trial in the U.S. on drugs and weapons trafficking charges. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke at a Saturday press conference. RUBIO: “Nicolas Maduro had multiple opportunities to avoid this. He was provided multiple very, very, very generous offers, and chose instead to act like a wild man, chose instead to play around. “The 47th president of the United States is not a game player. When he tells you that he's going to do something, when he tells you he's going to address a problem, he means it. “The President doesn't go out looking for people to pick fights with. Generally, he wants to get along with everybody. We'll talk and meet with anybody. But don't play games. Don't play games while this President's in office, because it's not going to turn out well. I guess that lesson was learned last night, and we hope it will be instructive moving forward.” Biden's DOJ pressured FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago Newly-declassified documents show that President Joe Biden's Department of Justice pressured the FBI to conduct the infamous 2022 raid of then-former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home – even though the FBI repeatedly warned that such a raid was unwarranted, reports NewsBusters.org. In an X.com post last Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, wrote, “FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid Pres. Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, but Biden DOJ pushed for it anyway. Based on the records, Mar-a-Lago raid was a miscarriage of justice.” Grassley linked to the documents posted online, which detail communications between the DOJ and the FBI. Brent Bozell confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Last Thursday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell as U.S. Ambassador to South Africa, despite obstructionist tactics by Democrats, reports CNSNews.com. By a 53-43 vote, the Senate approved Bozell to fill the post vacated by former ambassador Reuben Brigety, who resigned in January. BOZELL: “I will communicate our objections to South Africa's geo-strategic drift from non-alignment toward our competitors including Russia, China and Iran. “I'll press South Africa to end proceedings against Israel before the International Court of Justice. “Second, I will advance the President's invitation to Afrikaners who wish to flee unjust racial discrimination. “I will support the President's call for the South African government to rescind its support for the expropriation of private property without compensation.” Bozell served as president of the Media Research Center from its founding in 1987 until May of this year when he stepped down to be ambassador. His son, David Bozell, now leads the Media Research Center. Mom upset school secretly socially transitioned her daughter A mother in Maine, named Amber Lavigne, had her parental rights usurped by school officials when a guidance counselor secretly gave her gender-confused 13-year-old daughter a chest binder and referred to her by using a male name and pronouns. A chest binder is used to flatten the breasts of a trans-identified girl to help her pretend to be a boy. With the help of the Goldwater Institute, Lavigne is taking the school to the Supreme Court, reports The Christian Post. LAVIGNE: “I don't want to lose my daughter to the state, even as she grows into an adult, I'll always be her mom.” When she confronted her daughter about the chest binder in her bedroom, she learned that the school guidance counselor had provided it.  LAVIGNE: “This situation really is about my parental rights being violated, about a social worker who had never even had a conversation with me, encouraging my child to keep secrets from me, to tell her, ‘Look, I'm not going to tell your mom, and you don't have to either.' So, she's bringing these breast binders home and hiding them in her room on me. That's distressing!” Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them;  male and female He created them.” (Watch Amber Lavigne's 4-minute video.) Arkansas Governor in hot water for celebrating Christmas And finally, secularists and atheists alike were predictably furious with Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders this past Christmas, reports LifeSiteNews.com. It's just not that they found her professed love for Jesus Christ problematic. It's that she used her position as governor to spread the truth that Jesus Christ is the Savior of Mankind. On December 16, Sanders issued a declaration recalling that “more than two millennia ago in the little town of Bethlehem, far from the centers of power in first-century Rome, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a humble manger.” Sanders added that “on that first Christmas, Christ's arrival was unassuming” and “not focused on the wealthy or powerful but rather on the poor, powerless, and meek.” Sanders then approved an extra day off for state employees on December 26 “in order that [they] may spend this holiday with their families giving thanks for Christ's birth.” The God-hating Freedom From Religion Foundation was livid. In a letter to Governor Sanders, attorney Chris Line said, “State offices are not churches, and gubernatorial proclamations are not sermons. The governor is free to practice her religion privately, but she may not use the authority of the state to promote Christian doctrine as official government speech.” Governor Sanders tweeted, “The Freedom from Religion Foundation took issue with me closing state offices to celebrate Christmas and sent a letter demanding I rescind my proclamation. Christmas is not just a holiday; it's the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. Meaning matters, we won't pretend otherwise.” Matthew 1:20-21 says, “What is conceived in Mary is from the Holy Spirit.  She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, January 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are set to be arraigned at a Manhattan courthouse on Monday after they were captured during a U.S. operation in Caracas over the weekend. They're expected to plead not guilty to the charges they face. Matt Gutman reports. The operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro and his wife involved more than 150 aircraft launched from 20 different military bases, Gen. Dan Caine said. A source familiar with the operation said a small team of CIA personnel had been on the ground in Venezuela since August, tracking Maduro's movements. Charlie D'Agata reports more on how Maduro's capture unfolded. Nicolás Maduro's vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, was officially sworn in as Venezuela's acting president. President Trump warned he could go after her if she doesn't comply with U.S. demands, including access to the country's oil supply. Weijia Jiang reports. In Washington, D.C. on Monday, Trump administration officials plan to brief members of Congress on the Venezuela operation that led to the capture of former President Nicolas Maduro. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, told "CBS Mornings" he thinks the operation is "an illegal action" and speaks about what Congress could do next. In Caracas, Venezuela, residents rushed to grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations to stock up following ousted President Nicolás Maduro's arrest, unsure what will happen next. Supporters for Maduro made their voices heard, while some of those who fled the regime expressed skepticism of interim President Delcy Rodriguez. Lilia Luciano has more. The global reaction to the attack that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro has raised questions among U.S. allies as adversaries like China, Russia and Iran call the operation a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. President Trump claims Venezuela's oil industry will make more money with the U.S. behind it. Venezuela is estimated to have 303 billion barrels of crude oil still in the ground, which is about 20% of the world's reserves. CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger explains how it could impact U.S. prices. Retired Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was President Trump's national security adviser during his first administration, speaks to "CBS Mornings" about what the Trump administration could do next in Venezuela and the short and long-term ramifications for the U.S. On this week's "Beg-Knows America," David Begnaud takes "CBS Mornings" inside Angola State Penitentiary, the largest maximum security prison in the U.S., which is running a program focused on fatherhood that's changing lives for many of its inmates. Blake Mycoskie is an entrepreneur and founder of the popular shoe brand "TOMS." After selling the company in 2019, he said he struggled with his mental health. Mycoskie speaks to "CBS Mornings" about his healing journey that led to his new venture, launching "Enough" bracelets designed to serve as an important reminder to everyone that we are all enough.

Jen and Noam were going to discuss the Somali Medicaid fraud story coming out of Minnesota and CBS News spiking a story about the US sending people to CECOT, but Trump ruined all of that by arresting Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Since nobody anywhere is talking about that, we tackle the topic of What Does It Mean and What Will Happen Next now that Maduro is in a jail cell in Brooklyn (yeah we don't get that one either really).    And we also have to talk about the season finale of Pluribus, if it did hold up for the whole season, and when season 2 will air (a long time from now, unfortunately). Noam watched the final half season of Stranger Things, so we talk about that and the merits of shows that are written with a specific ending point from the beginning.

The plan eliminated the federal tax on tips and overtime pay for linemen and factory workers, and created a new deduction for seniors relying on Social Security. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it “the most pro-worker, pro-family legislation in a generation.”   several blue-state governors were refusing to reciprocate by eliminating state taxes on tips, including Govs. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.), J.B. Pritzker (D-Ill.), and Jared Polis (D-Colo.). Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused them of “deliberately blocking their own residents” from the bill's benefits at the state level. Bessent made clear that states that refused to comply with the law should expect consequences. “Treasury stands ready to work with any state committed to delivering on that promise, but we will not stand idly by as this obstructionism drags down the national recovery,” he said. “This is about fairness. This is about opportunity. And this is about putting America first, starting with the families and workers who make our economy the envy of the world.” Kathy Hochul has now caved. On New Year's Day, she announced that New York will finally move to exempt service workers' tips from state income taxes on up to $25,000 in tipped income.   “Starting today, tax rates for the vast majority of lower and middle-class New Yorkers will be cut, families with children will see a sweeping increase in the child tax credit, and minimum wage workers across the state will see their wages go up. I'm kicking the new year off with a proposal of no state income tax on tips, continuing my efforts to make New York more affordable for hard working New Yorkers.” The change comes only after months of outrage from restaurant owners and service workers who accused Albany of putting politics ahead of paychecks. Service industry workers noticed and called it a slap in the face to people barely scraping by in such an expensive state.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2007496574889537687?s=20 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2007500910277325260?s=20 https://twitter.com/TKL_Adam/status/2007468568619696559?s=20  damaged last night. On top of this, President Trump says the US will be “very much involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry going forward and China is “going to get oil.” In 2010, Venezuela was producing over 3 million barrels of oil per day, now down to ~900,000. If the US truly takes control of Venezuela’s oil industry, MUCH more supply is coming to market. Oil and gas prices would head much lower.

Bush, aimed at deposing Noriega and bringing him to face U.S. charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering.  To pressure Noriega into surrendering, U.S. psychological operations teams blasted loud rock music—including tracks like Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle,” Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” and Van Halen’s “Panama”—at the embassy nonstop, contributing to his decision to give up.   He was immediately flown to Miami, where he stood trial, was convicted in 1992, and initially sentenced to 40 years in prison (later reduced).  After serving time in the U.S., Noriega was extradited to France in 2010 for money laundering charges, and finally to Panama in 2011 to face additional sentences for murder, corruption, and human rights abuses during his rule.   He died in Panama in 2017 while under house arrest for medical reasons.   The invasion itself involved around 25,000 U.S. troops, resulting in 23 American deaths, hundreds wounded, and estimates of 200–4,000 Panamanian civilian casualties, drawing international criticism despite achieving its primary objective. https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/2007796748631314839?s=20 https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/2007549887098040495?s=20  https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2007518675641983427?s=20   advance. Trump Admin's Top Secret Maduro Military Operation Plans Reportedly Leaked To Legacy Media Outlets Despite an unidentified party leaking plans of the Trump administration's top secret military operation targeting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela to both The New York Times and the Washington Post, neither publication decided to expose it, Semafor reported Saturday night. Two anonymous sources, described as familiar with the communication between the administration and media outlets, told Semafor that both outlets declined to break the news on the operation before it happened out of concern for U.S. troops involved. The military incursion, carried out early Saturday, resulted in the capture and ouster of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom a grand jury later indicted on four charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy. The identity of the leaker or leakers was not made public as of Sunday morning.

Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA’s principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China’s Belt & Road initiative. As America’s enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia’s FARC to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel. On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024. Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say “It’s about oil” as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it’s about oil. Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation’s inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA’s sovereignty. So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally–yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA. Congratulations, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump national security team: you boldly took the steps necessary to defend the USA. Well done. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2007597322549469370?s=20  Uh… but what about America 1st!!!!” Dominating our hemisphere is America 1st.

Faced with a fresh protest movement 16-plus years later led by street vendors, President Donald Trump has taken the opposite tact in a robust embrace of everyday Iranians that caught the attention of Tehran. If Iran “violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,” Trump wrote in a 3 a.m. post Friday on his TruthSocial platform. “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”  The president was not more specific about his intentions, but Iranian dissidents and non-official Trump advisers cheered the statement and said it set the stage for tougher sanctions or other actions by the administration. Interesting Timing – Zelenskyy Planning to Remove Head of the Security Service of Ukraine This is very interesting timing considering the recent denial by Zelenskyy that Ukraine had anything to do with the attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence. According to Politico, Zelenskyy is removing Vasyl Malyuk as head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the state's top counterintelligence agency. Malyuk previously worked with British intelligence on operation “Spiderweb” where Ukrainian drones hit Russia's strategic bombers on several protected airfields (USA not informed).

When firefighters discovered the body of forty-year-old Terry King inside the charred remains of his Cantonment, Florida home in November 2001, they assumed the man had been asleep when the fire broke out and died as a result. Upon further inspection, investigators found that King hadn't died as a result of the fire, but from severe blunt force trauma to his head. And even more alarming than that was the fact that King's two boys, thirteen-year-old Derek and twelve-year-old Alex, were missing.Having occurred immediately in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Terry King's murder could have easily been one of many tragedies lost in the fog of national trauma and grief; however, when King's killers were arrested and identified in the days that followed, the story was so shocking, and the motive so heartbreaking, that it managed to break through the wall-to-wall coverage of the attacks. ReferencesAssociated Press. 2002.
