El pasado sábado todos fuimos testigos de una operación militar que parecía extraída de un guion de Hollywood. Tras varios meses de despliegue en el Caribe, el ejército de EEUU puso en marcha la "Operación Determinación Absoluta" con la que capturó a Nicolás Maduro y Cilia Flores en el Fuerte Tiuna de Caracas. El traslado inmediato de la pareja a una prisión de Nueva York nos regaló unas imágenes impagables, pero el entusiasmo inicial de la rueda de prensa en Mar-a-Lago pronto ha dado paso a algo de incertidumbre sobre el futuro inmediato. A pesar de la euforia de Donald Trump, flanqueado por Marco Rubio y Pete Hegseth, la realidad en las calles de Caracas cuenta una historia distinta. Trump adelantó que Estados Unidos mantendría el control de Venezuela para tutelar la transición política. Pero el hecho es que sin presencia sobre el terreno el control efectivo del país sigue en manos del régimen chavista. Al llevarse solo a Maduro, Trump ha dejado intacto a lo más duro de la cúpula del régimen: Delcy Rodríguez, Vladimir Padrino y Diosdado Cabello. De hecho, la proclamación de Rodríguez como presidenta, respaldada por los órganos represivos de la dictadura, podría indicar que el aparato ha cerrado filas. Trump no ha presentado aún una hoja de ruta en la que se establezca un calendario para la liberación de los presos políticos, el regreso de los opositores exiliados, la celebración de elecciones y el reconocimiento de Edmundo González Urrutia, ganador de las elecciones de 2024, como presidente legítimo del país. Todo lo contrario, Trump desairó innecesariamente a Maria Corina Machado en público esgrimiendo una supuesta falta de apoyo, algo tan sorprendente como incierto ya que Machado y González Urrutia fueron quienes arrasaron en las elecciones. La operación, por lo tanto, no parece que fuese dirigida a que Venezuela recupere la democracia o no, al menos, a corto plazo. Entretanto Trump ha intentado justificar la intervención con el petróleo y la llamada "Doctrina Donroe" (una versión actualizada de la Doctrina Monroe). Pero si todo era por petróleo el negocio no va a ser ni fácil, ni rápido, ni boyante. Con el barril a 60 dólares y una infraestructura en ruinas que requiere una inversión previa de no menos de 100.000 millones de dólares, el crudo venezolano no es el negocio inmediato que la Casa Blanca pregona. Además, la invocación de América como "patio trasero" de EEUU choca con la realidad geopolítica de nuestro tiempo. Potencias regionales como Brasil, México o Colombia cuentan con un peso demográfico y económico que impide tratarlos como a las "repúblicas bananeras" del siglo XIX. La captura de Maduro fue limpia y exitosa, inigualable como golpe de efecto, pero carece por ahora de un plan y de un objetivo claro. Sin ocupar suelo venezolano y después de disparar la bala del factor sorpresa, la capacidad de EEUU para imponer su criterio a tanta distancia es limitada. Si el chavismo quiere resistir podrá hacerlo. A un coste elevado, cierto es, pero más costoso sería para ellos disolver la organización criminal en la que hace años se transformó aquel régimen.

There's greed… and then there's the nauseating greed of profiteering corporations that make a killing – literally – by knowingly contaminating people's water, air, land, and families.Such rank, moral corruption is hard to fathom... but it's not hard to find. For one breathtaking example, consider Freeport-McMoRan.This global mining behemoth is one of America's most aggressive spoliers of land, air, water, and health – including from its sprawling copper smelter near Phoenix, Arizona. This operation is a major spreader of lead pollution, a neurotoxin that's particularly harmful to children, causing pain, seizures, and learning disabilities.But wait, where's our Environmental Protection Agency? Good question. In fact, until last year, EPA was requiring Freeport to install technology to cut those poisonous emissions. The giant squealed like a stuck pig, though, crying that the $60 million cost for the lifesaving equipment was too “burdensome” – even though that wouldn't even be a drop in Freeport's $2-billion-a-year bucket of profits.Sure enough, in October, Trump's new EPA honcho rushed to provide pollution protection. Not for the children, but for the polluter! Indeed, Trump's corporate-coddling agency “super-streamlined” the regulatory process by essentially eliminating it – no public hearing required, no presentation of facts, to chance for victims to object. All Freeport had to do was send an email requesting regulatory relief, and – BAM! – Trump promptly exempted its Arizona smelter from having to clean up its act.Not only is this “free pass to pollute” a blunt proclamation of corporate rule, it also expresses Trump's deep contempt for working-class people. Imagine if that smelter was in Florida, poisoning the elites in his Mar-a-Lago resort. Then, he'd jump on it like a gator on a poodle.Do something!The Environmental Defense Fund was one of the primary organizations working on the Freeport-McMoRan issue; they've launched a Trump EPA Pollution Pass map that shows you all the places that have applied for presidental exemptions from pollution laws.

As It Turns Out, President Trump Took Out Maduro – And Perhaps a Somali Warlord in MinnesotaYeah, that's right – Trump bags the big bad Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in a ballsy midnight raid on January 3, 2026, hauls him and his wife straight to New York for those long-overdue narco-terrorism charges. Blindfolded, handcuffed, perp-walked like a common cartel thug. Trump watches the whole thing live from Mar-a-Lago, probably with a Diet Coke in hand, grinning ear to ear. Victory lap complete.And just two days later? Boom – Tim Walz, Minnesota's own homegrown warlord presiding over a fraud empire that makes Maduro's schemes look like pocket change, suddenly "decides" he's not running for reelection. Coincidence? Please. The guy's staring down a tidal wave of investigations into billions vanished from child nutrition, autism programs, housing, and those ghostly childcare centers. Walz bails faster than a rat off a sinking ship, citing he can't "fully commit" – translation: the feds are closing in, and an indictment would make campaigning awkward.This isn't oversight failure; it's a full-blown Somali-linked grift network thriving under Walz's watch. Feeding Our Future alone: $250+ million stolen, dozens convicted, mostly Somali defendants turning relief funds into luxury cars and wire transfers. Then the childcare explosion – empty buildings raking in millions, viral videos exposing the scam, feds freezing funds and surging agents into Minneapolis. And who's in the mix? Keith Ellison, the AG who allegedly had to personally sign off on fraud probes – talk about a bottleneck designed for bottlenecks. Ilhan Omar, queen of the district where it all went down, with fraudsters mysteriously donating to her campaigns. Ties? Mountains of circumstantial smoke, and where there's smoke, indictments are usually cooking.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Attached are some photos of my Grandpa Julio “Papi” who's alive still and my deceased Grandma Martha in Cuba during better times as young love birds. Fidel Castro stole everything but their love and their lives. Same with my other grandparents Rafael and Ophelia and my Mom. They lost everything but their love and their lives. Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled. This can be a massive win for the future of both Cuba and more importantly, for America. It's time for the evil of communism to die. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007882386529542519?s=20 https://twitter.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2008187454595969240?s=20 rials monthly ($7). https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007930486438682861?s=20 https://twitter.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2007978922458444265?s=20 longer had it.

The booking photo, posted by the Hamilton County Justice Center, also lists the charges DeFoor is facing, including vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging or endangering, and obstructing official business. Cincinnati police and Secret Service agents responded swiftly to reports of the vandalism, arriving at the scene to detain the man without further incident.

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. § 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. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20 energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding.

President Trump shut down a fake news reporter who was trying to create a wedge between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. A legacy media reporter tried to stir up a little trouble and President Trump promptly shut her down. “What you say that Marco Rubio has your ear more than the Vice President right now?” a reporter asked President Trump. Trump shut it down. “No! They both do. JD is very smart and doing a great job and so is Marco! I would say they're equal,” Trump said. The reporter continued, “It sounds like [Rubio] is the go to and you were just talking about Cuba and what could come next there.” AUDIO: Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2008092328867869069?s=20 a plea of some sort.

This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions. Colorado officials are going to pay dearly – An American Armada, the likes of which hasn’t been assembled in this century, sits off the coast of U.S. Election Theft Central. They are resting up after the historic strike extraction of Maduro. They will not idle long. The President promises to clean out all the cartel del Soles thugs and return Venezuela to democratic self governance. A big job but essential to keeping America safe and its enemies out of our hemisphere and out of our elections. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007981628648206368?s=20 which gave hope to the low-morale Continental Army and boosted enlistment, and eventually led to victory. I think Trump and the US MIL were sending a message. Now is when we start winning the war against the Deep State. I think we have graduated into a new phase of the operation. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560?s=20 necessary for what comes later, when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends US MIL to cities nationwide. If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

In a bonehead and thoughtless move, did Melania— our purported nationalized First Lady — just open herself up to proctologist style cross examination under oath about whether she lives with Trump at Mar a Lago or the White House, or really lives with her son Barron at Trump Tower in New York, and what documents she has to prove any of it? Michael Popok examines the procedure that Melania will be forced to use to prove she is a resident of “Florida” and not New York, as she attempt to get a Trump-appointed Federal Judge to save her from journalist Michael Wolff's state court suit against her after she threatened him with a $1 Billion Dollar defamation case. Popok focuses on just how much this judge is going to allow Wolff's lawyers to delve into Melania's marriage, immigration status, lifestyle and residency.

Today's Headlines: Looks like there's no easing into this new year. Trump dramatically escalated his Venezuela fixation this weekend, launching major strikes in Caracas and having Nicolás Maduro pulled from his home and flown to federal detention in Brooklyn. Maduro was re-indicted on familiar narcotrafficking charges, while Trump bragged that the U.S. is effectively “running Venezuela now” alongside American oil companies. But instead of installing Trump's preferred opposition figure, Venezuela's Supreme Court tapped Maduro's vice president Delcy Rodríguez as interim leader. Before all that, the U.S. had spent weeks chasing a Venezuela-bound oil tanker — until Russia swooped in on New Year's Eve, added it to its registry, and painted a Russian flag on the side to shield it from seizure. Trump also hosted President Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago with Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, and Pete Hegseth, claiming “progress” while simultaneously echoing outrage on Putin's behalf after a friendly call with him. Abroad, Switzerland's army chief warned the country couldn't withstand a major attack, protests in Iran turned deadly as Trump threatened to “intervene,” and Trump ordered Christmas Day strikes on ISIS militants in Nigeria. On the home front, Trump froze all childcare payments nationwide after citing a Minnesota welfare fraud case involving a small group of Somali immigrants — while simultaneously moving to garnish wages from millions of student loan borrowers in default starting in January. One notable check on his power: the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 against his National Guard deployments to several U.S. cities. Meanwhile, the newly released Jack Smith testimony says he had evidence Trump committed multiple felonies that could rise to treason before his cases were shut down — and the massive Epstein document dump is already under scrutiny for delays, missing records, and questionable redactions, including internal DOJ emails noting Trump flew on Epstein's plane more than previously known.

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.

President Trump was watching closely from Mar-a-Lago as American Delta Forces captured Nicolás Maduro before he could get into a steel enclosed room in Caracas, Venezuela. U.S. General Dan Caine gave details on Operation Absolute Resolve. The highly intricate military and intelligence operation took decades of research and intelligence with months of military preparation to seize Maduro from inside a fortified military compound. There were no U.S. casualties and Maduro now awaits trial in New York facing federal narco terrorism charges. Marco Rubio made the rounds on the failed media networks as they did anything but ask the questions the American public wants to know about the operation or Maduro, instead trying to catch Marco in a "gotcha' moment. Tim Walz is not seeking reelection in Minnesota after Nick Shirley blew the lid off the massive fraud in Minnesota. Shirley's video has 140 million views on X alone as the media tries to paint him as a bigot for exposing criminals in the Somali community. Turns out, Kamala was warned about the fraud in Minnesota and still chose Walz as her running mate. Zohran Mamdani inauguration was a spectacle, from his Marxist ideas of "collectivism" to his Nazi salute, New Yorkers are in for a wake up call. The team at Media Research Center, David Bozell and Tim Graham are here to break it all down.

En la madrugada del sábado Caracas fue el escenario de la operación "Absolute Resolve", una incursión ejecutada por los Delta Force que capturaron a Nicolás Maduro y a su esposa, Cilia Flores. Tras pasar por la base de Guantánamo, el dictador aterrizó a última hora de la tarde en Nueva York custodiado por la DEA. En estos momentos Maduro se encuentra recluido en el Centro de Detención Metropolitano de Nueva York, donde recaen sobre él cuatro cargos muy graves que podrían acarrearle cadena perpetua. Tras el éxito de la operación, Donald Trump compareció en Mar-a-Lago para anunciar un giro político sorprendente. Rompiendo con su tradicional retórica aislacionista, el presidente aseguró que Estados Unidos asumirá el gobierno de Venezuela de manera indefinida hasta garantizar una transición adecuada. Este plan incluye la toma de control de la industria petrolera y la reconstrucción de una infraestructura que describió como podrida. Aunque Trump presentó la intervención como un acto benévolo para facilitar el regreso de millones de exiliados, su estrategia de construcción nacional plantea serios interrogantes sobre la viabilidad de gobernar un país de 26 millones de habitantes sin un gran despliegue de tropas terrestres. Esta postura contrasta con el tipo de intervenciones previas de su segundo mandato, que hasta ahora habían sido ataques aéreos quirúrgicos en países como Irak, Siria o Irán. Lo de Venezuela, en cambio, se perfila como un esfuerzo de ocupación prolongado, algo que trae a la memoria precedentes muy cercanos en el tiempo como Afganistán o Irak, donde las promesas de estabilidad democrática terminaron en procesos largos y accidentados con resultados cuestionables o abiertamente desastrosos. Son muchos ahora los que tratan de enmarcar la operación como un "Panamá 2.0", en referencia a la invasión de 1989 para capturar a Manuel Noriega. Pero es una comparación un tanto inexacta. Venezuela es doce veces más grande que Panamá y posee una geografía inmensamente más compleja. Mientras que en 1989 Estados Unidos operaba desde sus propias bases dentro del canal con miles de efectivos ya desplegados, en la Venezuela de 2026 debe empezar sin bases, sin jurisdicción propia y sin siquiera una embajada abierta. Además, la potencial resistencia es significativamente mayor: frente a los 15.000 efectivos de Noriega, Venezuela cuenta con un ejército profesional de 120.000 miembros y una milicia civil armada que podría activar una insurgencia de guerrilla urbana y terrorismo. El éxito de esta ambiciosa apuesta dependerá de la capacidad de Trump para transformar esta intervención en una política de Estado que cuente con el apoyo generalizado de los venezolanos y trascienda a su propio mandato. Aunque la justificación petrolera parece algo más material que puramente estratégico ya que EEUU es autosuficiente en ese aspecto, la verdadera ganancia reside en la estabilidad regional y la expulsión de la influencia de China en Hispanoamérica. Si el nuevo gobierno tutelado logra estabilizar la economía y restaurar la democracia, no solo se pondrá fin a décadas de fracaso del socialismo del siglo XXI, sino que se enviará un mensaje de disuasión definitivo a otros regímenes autoritarios, dejando de paso a la camarilla castrista en Cuba en una situación de aislamiento terminal.

On June 6, 2025, Donald Trump said Elon Musk had lost his mind. On January 4, 2026, they had dinner together at Mar-a-Lago. The reconciliation came less than 72 hours after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Musk congratulated Trump on X and announced Starlink would provide free internet to Venezuela. After months of public feuding over Trump's spending bill, threats to cancel government contracts, and Musk claiming Trump owed him the election, the world's most public political breakup ended quietly at a country club in Palm Beach.

President Donald Trump said the US would run Venezuela until a transition could be organized, hours after a US operation captured leader Nicolás Maduro, ousting the strongman from power after months of mounting military and economic pressure on his regime.“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said Saturday at a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “So 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.”Trump said the US administration of Venezuela would include deploying US oil companies to the country, though indicated that his embargo “on all Venezuelan oil remains in full effect” and that US forces would stay on alert.

On this New Year's Day episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we kick off 2026 by breaking down a barrage of consequential developments: the DOJ's review of 5.2 million “newly surfaced” Epstein records, a Wall Street Journal report detailing how Mar-a-Lago staff were sent to Epstein's mansion; new reporting on Donald Trump's health, from his excessive aspirin use and contradictory statements about scans to visible discoloration on his hands, chronic sleep issues, and a fast-food diet; and the release of Jack Smith's closed-door video deposition from the House Judiciary Committee in which he outlines his case against Trump. We also contrast the ugliness and cruelty of Trump and MAGA politics with a moment of civic inspiration as Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as New York City's mayor, highlight Trump's abuses of power, from seizing public golf courses in D.C., vetoing a bipartisan clean water project in Colorado over personal grudges, and launching vile attacks on the Kennedy family and political opponents. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down in the first full-length pod of the year.

This is a preview of our regular Weekender show released in full every Friday on our Patreon at patreon.com/muckrakepodcast Please support the show by subscribing and unlocking special content as well as access to our discord and live shows. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman ring in 2026 with resolutions, sugar hangovers, and a hard look at how a viral YouTube stunt and JD Vance's megaphone spiraled into a federal freeze on Minnesota child-care funds. They break down the racist scapegoating of Somali communities, which plays right into the right's conspiracy theories, and why this is political retribution dressed up as oversight. Then it's the latest Epstein revelations implicating Mar-a-Lago's spa pipeline and how it connects to Trump even more deeply before focuing on the Supreme Court's refusal to bless federal troop deployments that might turn into a roadmap for even more law-breaking. "What We're Watching" looks at the Stranger Things finale and why nostalgia is starting to feel like content slurry.
[00:30] Communism and Anti-Semitism in New York (52 minutes) New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani took his oath of office yesterday with his hand on the Koran. One of the proud Democratic Socialist's first acts was erasing an executive order recognizing anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism. During a meeting with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Trump will be the first non-Israeli to receive the Israel Prize. Despite America's history of supporting Israel, prophecy shows that Israel ultimately will turn to Germany for help. [52:50] WorldWatch (4 minutes)
A bombshell new report claims that Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida sent women to Jeffrey Epstein's home for years, allegedly to give him massages. The women that were sent to Epstein's home warned others about his dangerous behavior, so if this story is accurate, that means there's little to no chance that Mar-a-Lago didn't know exactly what was going on. This week, Donald Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have created a pipeline to deliver clean drinking water to more than 50,000 Colorado residents. This didn't sit well with longtime Trump ally Lauren Boebert - a representative from Colorado - and she tore into the President, accusing him of vetoing the pipeline out of anger over her insistence on releasing the Epstein Files. There are a couple other reasons this likely happened, but Boebert's vote on the files certainly played a role. During a segment on Newsmax this week, Kari Lake demanded that the Department of Justice go after Donald Trump's political enemies - as if they haven't been trying, and failing, at doing that for the past year. Lake went totally off the rails in the segment, reminding everyone that she might be the most mentally unstable member of the Trump administration, even though she remains one of the most irrelevant members of the administration. MAGA fanatics who forked out $500 for a tacky "Trump Phone" nearly a year ago are going to have to wait even longer for their garbage to arrive, as the Trump Organization announced that the phones were being delayed AGAIN. This isn't the first time that the company has failed to deliver at their promised deadline, as they have pushed back the release multiple times in just the last few months. There's a chance the phones never arrive at all, and MAGA will just have to come to terms with the fact that they keep falling for such obvious swindles.Republican lawmakers know that 2026 is probably going to be a very bad year for them, and they have just one request of Donald Trump: Don't make it worse! Unfortunately, Trump isn't capable of doing that, and Republicans in Congress have now lost faith with Trump because they view him as far too "out of touch." It isn't just that he can't or won't work on economic issues, it is that he won't stop the stupid vanity projects that are angering the public while going out on tour and bragging about how great he is.The Democratic Party ended 2025 with another massive victory in an area of the country that they typically can't win in. This particular win happened in an election in Iowa, where Democrat Renee Hardman pulled off a stunning victory to prevent Republicans in the state from having a supermajority in the Senate. This is more proof that the Trump Effect is real, and voters are turning against Trump and the Republican Party in ways we couldn't have expected a year ago.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Everywhere you turn and everywhere you look, everything just seems off, really, really off. We are told that America is right now in a ‘Golden Age' never before seen in our 250 year history, and not only is that not true, it's an out-and-out lie, yet a very large sector of our country believe it. We are told America only wants peace, yet we watch as a ramp-up to war takes place around the clock. What's going on? Is this mass hypnosis, is it mind control, what is it? Hey, Habakkuk, what sayest thou?“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, over at Mar-a-Lago on New Year's Eve, people watched as a female artist live-painted a ‘Jesus painting', but it wasn't the Jesus of the Bible. This Jesus had a decidedly Roman Catholic feel, with piercing blue eyes, swirling in a sea of dark colors, and looking for all the world like a portrayal of Antichrist. The assembled crowd cheered as it was auctioned off for $3 million dollars to a Catholic charity. Over in New York City, deep in an underground abandoned subway tunnel, the new Socialist Muslim mayor was sworn in on a Qu'ran. To me, this completely sets the tone for what we might expect to see in 2026. Elsewhere, Trump is launching 6G to connect with human implantable devices, renaming all sorts of pre-existing buildings after himself, and preparing to build the Arch Du Trump in Washington. Elon Musk says 2026 will be the year that his Neuralink brain chips really take off, and Islam is positioned for a level of control this country has never seen before. As if all that wasn't bad enough, Turning Point USA, whom we showed you with our end of year Podcast in 2025 to be a hotbed of demons and devils, is launching a plan to bring their One World Religion to every church in America. This isn't Satan's ‘little season' we are watching, this is the big show. Today we invite you to join us as we lift up the end times rock to see what's crawling underneath it. It won't be a pretty sight, but it'll be the Truth, and we promise it will be a blessing to you here in 2026.
In the first episode of 2026, Roger Moorhouse and Patrick Bishop look back on a bizarre and momentous year of conflict. The hosts begin by reflecting on the breakdown of international cooperation, noting how Russia has moved from sensitive joint enterprises, like decommissioning nuclear power submarines, to living on the "dark side of the moon" diplomatically and economically. The centre of this week's discussion is the surreal meeting between President Zelensky and Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Patrick and Roger dissect the "Olympic levels of restraint" shown by Zelensky as Trump claimed Putin was "generous" in his feelings toward Ukraine. They explore the 20-point peace plan being sketched out by American and Ukrainian officials and why, despite Trump's optimism, the Kremlin remains unlikely to accept any deal that recognises a sovereign Ukraine. Finally, the hosts look at the changing face of the front line, where the introduction of long-range "FPV" drones—now capable of striking targets up to 50 or even 100 kilometres away—is creating a lethal "grey zone" that redefines modern manoeuvre warfare.

Over the past few days, Iran has witnessed the country's largest anti-regime protests in the past three years, with crowds taking to the streets in several cities and clashing with security forces. On Monday, Prime Minister Netanyahu met President Trump at Mar-a-Lago, for the leaders sixth meeting over the course of Trump's second term. President Trump made several bold statements to the press, including warning that if Iran continues building its missile programs, the U.S. will take swift and severe action. President Trump also remarked on the Gaza ceasefire, saying he intends to move to phase two of his peace plan, but also threatening “hell to pay” if Hamas does not disarm quickly. To unpack the dramatic events unfolding in Iran, and to analyze yet another meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Dan was joined by Ark Media contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal.CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerBRITTANY COHEN - Production ManagerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS AND PATRICIO SPADAVECCHIA - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Associate ProducerGABE SILVERSTEIN - Community ManagementYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive account revealing what it says was the specific incident that led Donald Trump to ban Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago's spa in 2003. According to the report, Mar-a-Lago had been sending spa employees to provide services at Epstein's nearby Palm Beach mansion for years, even as staff privately warned one another about Epstein's increasingly inappropriate behavior. The practice continued until an 18-year-old beautician returned from a house call and reported that Epstein had pressured her for sex; a manager then sent Trump a fax about the allegation, and Trump responded by ordering Epstein banned from the club's spa. The Journal's account also notes that Epstein wasn't a formal club member yet was treated “like one” on Trump's instruction.The report situates that episode as the first clear break in Trump and Epstein's relationship, though the two continued to be seen together socially for a time afterward. Mar-a-Lago staffers told the WSJ that Epstein's companion Ghislaine Maxwell regularly coordinated the spa visits — including recruiting young employees — and that concerns about Epstein's conduct were known internally before the 2003 complaint. Trump's current White House has disparaged the WSJ story as politically motivated, with spokespeople saying he acted appropriately in banning Epstein for alleged misconduct toward employees.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New report digs in on details of the incident that reportedly caused Trump to ban Epstein from Mar-a-Lago | The Independent

Part 1 of this two-part dive into the recent batch of released Epstein files begins with a 2020 email between prosecutors about seeing Trump's name on flight logs. From there, we delve into the banking world and learn more about key players like James Edward "Jes" Staley, a man accused of enabling suspicious financial activity, and review some of his predatory and intimate email exchanges with Epstein. Then, we meet one of Epstein's ten co-conspirators (only three of whom have been named) Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, and hear survivor Maria Farmer's statements that shed more light on the levels of his involvement. Lastly, a look at the legal filing involving allegations of a 13-year old victim who attended Michigan's Camp Interlocken in 1994, stating Epstein made contact with her as a former camper turned benefactor before introducing her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago as a "good one". Part 1 closes with documented comments from Mark Epstein to the FBI about his belief concerning his brother's death. BONUS: a rant about how the inequities of our current economic structure and tax code facilitate a "predator and prey" class system All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

An absolute bombshell was released in relation to the raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago.

Following weeks of negotiations of a possible peace plan, President Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida this weekend. The two leaders say they are nearly in full agreement with a plan which could lead to the first call between President Zelenskyy and President Putin in five years. The discussions revolved around security guarantees for Ukraine and the Trump administration's national security concerns. Senior Fellow at the Lexington Institute, Dr. Rebecca Grant, joins the Rundown to discuss the Trump administration's plan moving forward, and whether Russia will back away from the territory it holds. Then, we revisit one of our most impactful interviews from the past year, when Executive Director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, Dr. Robert Marbut, and actor Billy Baldwin spoke with Gurnal Scott to discuss their documentary, Fentanyl: Death Incorporated, and why they believe our country needs a new approach to addressing its drug crisis.

They look back on a year that somehow felt darker than 2020, then pivot straight into the current circus: Trump raging at the media, posturing about the Epstein files, hosting Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago, and then parroting Putin's lines like the Oval Office has a Kremlin teleprompter. From there, the conversation goes where 2025 always seems to go: Into the flashing dashboard lights of institutional collapse, Trump's visible decline, and the unnerving signals that J.D. Vance is already laying 2028 groundwork with Turning Point backing. And if that wasn't bleak enough, they close with an absolutely cursed focus group of Gen Z Republicans that reads like a “content brain” case study, complete with casual extremism, conspiracy marination, and the kind of political illiteracy that would be funny if it wasn't actively setting things on fire.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to peel back what Christmas looks like inside Donald Trump's carefully staged world at Mar-a-Lago — a holiday less about family and warmth than performance, attention, and control. From the bored, rope-off table at the center of the patio to Trump's late-night torrent of Truth Social posts, Wolff maps how even Christmas becomes another arena for validation. They examine Melania's rare flash of animation beside her father, the eerie surge of hyper-religious messaging from Trump-world, and the rituals that feel rehearsed rather than heartfelt. As the conversation widens, they trace how sagging TV ratings, Hollywood power plays, and proximity to Trump himself still dictate the action around him. Hosted on Acast.
