Maduro

The operation to capture and extradite Maduro, code named Absolute Resolve, consisted of a helicopter-borne raid on the Venezuelan capital city of Caracas. The incursion that followed used 170 aircraft and was the culmination of months of preparation and weeks of waiting for the perfect window of opportunity.

Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “[Maduro] F’d around and he found out.”

“Voice from a Venezuelan” posted, “As a Venezuelan, I can say this plainly: much of the left leaning media is going to aggressively twist this story. What needs to be understood is that when the bombs fell, they struck only military bases and an international airport that had already been closed, with all international flights suspended.

“Many Venezuelans did not panic, they cheered from their homes when they saw the helicopters. This was not random or uninformed support. Roughly 75% of Venezuelans voted for María Corina Machado, backing her platform and her openly stated plan to pursue cooperation with the United States, including the possibility of U.S. intervention, to remove Nicolás Maduro from power in exchange for reopening Venezuela to free trade.

“This was a calculated choice. Venezuela has resources the United States wants, and the United States has the leverage and support Venezuela needs. It was a path we knowingly chose, fully aware of the risks involved.

“Love it or hate it, do not accept the narrative at face value. This was not imposed on us. We chose this path. ~ Author: Crhia Michel San Martin”

We Americans may not have voted for this, but that’s only because we don’t think as BIG and OUTSIDE the box as our amazing POTUS does.

On January 3, 2026, this hypocrite posted, “It’s an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president – failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home – decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to ‘run’ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.” [FYI Pete: When the economy is growing at a record-breaking pace, that does not constitute “failing on the economy.”]

After Maduro lost the 2024 Venezuelan election but refused to vacate the office, Biden offered a $25 million bounty on Maduro’s head.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury [D-NM-1] tweeted, “Overnight the U.S. President ordered the invasion of Venezuela and capture of its President. While Maduro clearly is a corrupt and illegitimate thug who oversaw the destabilization and suffering of millions, the fact remains that the U.S. President is acting on authority he does not have.”

Stansbury is wrong. The U.S. President has the constitutional authority as Commander in Chief (Article II, Section 2) to order limited military strikes, particularly in response to threats, to protect U.S. interests, or for defensive purposes, without prior congressional approval. The strike to capture Maduro reportedly took 30 minutes.

Also this.

Feast of St. Stephen

DAILY PRAYER: O eternal Shepherd, look favorably upon Your flock, and guard it by Your continual protection through Blessed Stephen, Your Martyr. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

ECONOMY: Since Trump took office, our GDP growth rate has jumped from 2.3% to 4.3%, a rate increase of 79%. An internal White House memo circulated last week said the change was due to

  1. Enacting a sweeping tax and budget bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which proponents say has boosted business investment and disposable income.
  2. Raising tariffs on imported goods, an effort the administration says has helped narrow the trade deficit and stimulate domestic manufacturing.
  3. Rolling back regulations across energy, banking, and environmental sectors to reduce compliance burdens and spur corporate activity.
  4. Lowering energy prices, particularly oil and gas, as part of a broader “energy independence” push, which the administration says has lowered business costs and spurred consumption.
  5. Reducing interest rates, a goal the administration has publicly advocated for, arguing that lower borrowing costs will further stimulate investment and consumer spending.

EDUCATION: Last May, he Trump administration ended the COVID pause on student loan repayments and began collecting on the debts by withholding tax refunds and other federal payments to the 5 million borrowers in default. Beginning in the first week of January, the department said that it will begin garnishing wages as well.

FRAUD TOURISM: “Democrats call it ‘social services.’ Everyone else calls it ‘money laundering.’” [14:16] – Minnesota is making New York look good.

GEORGIA: The Georgia Aquarium is located in Atlanta, DeKalb County, which is the only excuse I have for posting the video here. But I thought it was really interesting, so here it is! [12:55] – On December 17, 2025, DeKalb County CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson signed an executive order stating that the COVID state of emergency is officially ending and that all employees will need to return to the office, with some hybrid work allowed.

“This executive order marks an important step forward for DeKalb County. It confirms the end of the emergency period while putting in place a work plan that balances flexibility with responsibility and ensures we continue to deliver reliable, high-quality services to our residents.”

As of Jan. 5, all county offices under the CEO’s supervision will be staffed during regular business hours.

“In-person service matters. Having staff present in our offices strengthens accountability, collaboration, and efficiency across county government and improves the experience for the people we serve.”

The order allows eligible employees to work remotely if their jobs can be performed remotely. The order also confirms that wearing face masks is permitted but not required absent a new public health emergency.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING: On the second day of Christmas, Mama Buzz shared this lovely with us all.

How many homes do you need?” Bernie Sanders “Do I own 3 residences? Yeah. I do.” He used to say “millionaires and billionaires.” Then he became a millionaire and now he only rails against the latter.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Grant us the graces we need to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways, In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BANKING SCANDAL: [3:45] – If Trump hadn’t won, this would have gotten worse.

BORDER: U.S. Customs and Border Protection says they had the lowest number of border encounters in any October ever. They also say that, for the past six months, there have been zero releases into the U.S. to await hearings.

“Our mission is simple: secure the border and safeguard this nation. And that’s exactly what we are doing. No excuses. No politics. Just results delivered by the most dedicated law-enforcement professionals in the country. We’re not easing up — we’re pushing even harder.” ~ CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott

DOGE: This past week, agencies ended another $648 million in wasteful spending. Canceled contracts included $456,000 to provide “24/7 FM broadcast service in hosting, operations, technical, and maintenance support in Juba, South Sudan.” The previous week, agencies ended wasteful contracts worth $160 million. These included $8.7 million for “FM and television broadcast operations in Iraq, Libya, and Chad.” The week before that, agencies terminated 150 wasteful contracts, saving We the Taxpayers $240 million. These included $276,000 for the “Armenian radio program.”

I asked Grok why we’re spending millions on radio programming in third world countries. The response was, “These efforts, which date back to the 1980s, aim to promote democracy, governance, and human rights by supporting independent media in fragile or authoritarian-leaning environments.” Like so much the federal government does to throw out money around without much accountability, it sounds good in the mission statement. BUT, and it’s a big one … the money has been managed by USAID which has been issuing it to NGOs.

NO ONE LIKE TRUMP: [9:08] – He’s forcing Democrats to defend Big Insurance.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Heavenly Father, Raise up the youth of our great nation and fill their hearts with love for truth and justice. Amen.

SECRET SANTA: [7:26] – The end is the best part. 🙂

SCHUMER SHUTDOWN: Last night, enough Democrats crossed the aisle to end the filibuster. Today, the Senate will reconvene to end the longest, dumbest shutdown in our nation’s history.

USMC: [14:34] – Happy 250th birthday, Marines! I suddenly got choked up when he mentioned the yellow footprints at Parris Island. My baby girl stood on those. She later met President Bush on the White House lawn. I need a tissue. ❤

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant each of us restful sleeps and peaceful deaths. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ART OF THE DEAL: Last May, fighting flared briefly between India and Pakistan. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he kept the tensions from escalating to war by threatening both nations with 250% tariffs.

This week, he negotiated $490 billion in investment commitments with Japan, then went to South Korea where he finalized a $350 billion trade deal.

AUTOPEN: CLICK https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1983730199402574255 [:18] to see a clip from April 2022. Who exactly was really in charge during the so-called Biden administration?

BASKETBALL: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CwsekFoxznw to hear fake news which was disappointingly passed on by someone whose posts I usually like.

Shortly after taking office, President Obama had the South Lawn tennis court (built in the 1950s under Eisenhower) repurposed by adding basketball lines over the tennis lines and purchasing removable hoops. There was no new construction, demolition, or “tearing up the lawn” and the facility could easily be switched between basketball and tennis.

While no official figures were released, the likely cost of converting the White House’s existing outdoor tennis court into a dual-use basketball/tennis court in 2009 was between $17,000 and $200,000. The project was paid for by private donations, not with taxpayer moneys.

It is worth noting that, unlike Obama, who never disclosed the basketball court donors, Trump has been fully transparent about where the ballroom money is coming from.

BIDEN: Mike Donilon, a longtime aide to former President Joe Biden, told the House Oversight Committee that he was promised a $4 million bonus if Biden won reelection in 2024. That was on top of his $4 million salary. Kinda sounds like 8 million reasons to cover up Biden’s physical and mental disabilities.

CALIFORNIA: On Tuesday, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said he was pulling an additional $160 million in federal funding from California over the state issuing commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal immigrants.

The leftist magazine, The Atlantic, predictably couched this situation as Trump’s fault and a strain on military housing.

Lying Liars

CLICK https://x.com/BreitbartNews/status/1982878429675659613 [:31] to hear “The Typhoid Mary of Misinformation” declare that no Democrat has ever said that Donald Trump is Hitler.

On July 13, 2015, less than a month after Donald Trump first announced his intention to run for president, Mexican-American singer and activist Rick Fuentes (better known as Rick Santillan) held up a photo of Hitler and said in Spanish, “This man is Hitler. This man is Hitler. What he is saying is exactly what Hitler said in the 1930s.” Within 48 hours, the video clip had gone viral on social media and been widely reported by U.S. outlets like The Washington Post and HuffPost.

On July 18, 2015, the first U.S. Politician – Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) – said on MSNBC, “The parallels are frightening… the demonization of entire groups.”

On August 6, 2015, the first major op-ed appeared in The New York Times. Written by columnist Timothy Egan, it said, “Trump’s rhetoric echoes the early rise of Hitler.”

In January 2016, Rep. John Lewis said Trump reminded him of George Wallace and “1930s Europe.”

On March 21, 2016, Hillary Clinton framed Trump’s rhetoric as a direct parallel to the rise of fascism.

On August 16, 2017, Rep. James Clyburn likened Trump’s 2016 rise to Hitler’s ascent in 1933.

On January 1, 2019, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) warned that “Americans, particularly black Americans, can’t afford to make that same mistake about the harm that could be done by a man named Hitler or a man named Trump.”

On March 19, 2019, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), then-House Judiciary Committee Chairman, compared former President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and use of executive power to Adolf Hitler’s tactics.

On July 18, 2019, during an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Beto O’Rourke compared Trump’s July 17 rally in Greenville, North Carolina, to a Nazi rally.

On July 30, 2019, a post-debate interview with CNN’s Van Jones, DNC Chair Tom Perez compared Trump’s July 17 rally in Greenville, North Carolina, to the Nuremberg rallies.

On September 26, 2020, during an MSNBC Interview with Stephanie Ruhle, Joe Biden compared Trump to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, accusing him of repeating lies about Biden’s record until they become “common knowledge.”

On September 2, 2022, Joe Biden described the MAGA Republican philosophy underpinning Trump as “semi-fascism.”

On September 23, 2022, Hillary Clinton explicitly likened Trump’s September 17 rally in Youngstown, Ohio to Hitler’s speeches.

In March 2023, Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump, reportedly told journalist Bob Woodward he considered Trump to be “the most dangerous person to this country” and “fascist to the core.”

On November 8, 2023, Clinton directly compared Trump to Hitler, noting that “Hitler was duly elected” and warning that if Trump got a second term, his “dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies” would be “the end of our country as we know it.”

On June 27, 2024, Kamala Harris said Trump is a “threat to our democracy and our fundamental freedoms.”

On August 16, 2024, Nancy Pelosi said Donald Trump “sounds like Mussolini or Hitler in the 1930s, talking about ‘enemy of the people’ and ‘fake news media’.”

On October 21, 2024, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) called Trump “another Hitler.”

On October 23, 2024, during remarks at a CNN Town Hall, Kamala Harris again called Trump a “fascist” who was “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous.”

On October 24, 2024, the Biden Campaign and the DNC put out multiple messages calling Trump “unstable, unfit, and dangerous” because he (allegedly) admires Hitler.

On October 23, 2024, CLICK https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1849136797877493961 [3:03] to hear Democrat Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, go on at length about Kelly’s claim.

CLICK https://x.com/disclosetv/status/1722299712697446763 [:34] to hear Hillary Clinton say Trump will be a dictator who will do away with our freedoms, just like Hitler who “was duly elected.”

On October 24, 2024, Hillary Clinton accused Trump of “reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939.”

On June 11, 2025, during an interview with TheGrio, Rep. Maxine Waters said Trump’s policies evoke Nazi Germany tactics.

OPERATION SUMMER HEAT: [20:35] – More winning!

SCOFFLAW: NY Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted for mortgage fraud for having claimed a house in Virginia as her primary residence for the purposes of obtaining a more favorable loan. In June 2025, a relative of James named Nakia Thompson (left) testified before a federal grand jury that she has occupied the property for years with her three children, that she neither pays rent nor contributes to maintenance and that James visits several times a year.

While it may be commendable of James to provide housing to her needy relatives, it should be pointed out that, as an attorney, Letitia James took an oath to uphold the law. Nakia Thompson (36) has a long history of criminal violations, including burglary, grand larceny, possession of burglary tools, and child endangerment-related traffic offenses.

Because she is wanted in North Carolina for parole violations, AG Letitia “No one is above the law” James has been harboring a wanted fugitive. N.b., while this accusation has not been proven in court, it has been substantiated by court documents, probation records, and grand jury testimony.

I am younger than he is and I grew up in a bigger town, so my oldest telephone memory was when our four digit phone number was changed to seven digits … right after my father had bought a case of matchbooks printed with his business name and our now-defunct four digit number. We finally used up the last of those matches around the time I graduated from high school. My siblings were like, “What do you mean there’s no matches?! There’s always matches!” LOL

Shutdown

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tus6VzGtuXY [:35] to hear then-Senator Clinton declare, unequivocally, that illegals should not get free health care.

Democrats are lying. They are demanding free health care for illegals. Why should anyone be surprised about this? CLICK https://x.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1973567193989390673 [:10] to see every one of the Democratic presidential wannabes endorse the idea.

CLICK https://x.com/DogRightGirl/status/1973553715631292738 to hear Hakeem Jeffries state, unequivocally, that “Not a single undocumented immigrant in this country gets a dime in Federal taxpayer dollars for any part of comprehensive Medicaid coverage.”

In his statement, Jeffries lies by using the logical fallacy known as amphiboly. The words he said are technically true; illegals don’t get Medicaid “dimes” handed to them. However, what he means for us to infer from his statement – i.e., that illegals aren’t getting free health care courtesy of American taxpayers – is false. Medicaid sends all payments directly to the providers.

Despite being responsible for shutting down the government, legislators will still get their paychecks and there’s nothing we can do about it, because their pay (as well as the president’s) are mandated in the Constitution. Active duty military have to continue working. They won’t get paid until after the shutdown ends.

Schumer is 74 years old! What IS it with these people that they refuse to retire and let younger people step up to the plate? My father was a coach. He always made sure his second and third string got playing time, so they could develop their skills and move up when the first stringers got injured or graduated.

IMO, AOC is only able to threaten Schumer because he never let the second stringers in party leadership take their rightful place while he, Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of the geriatric horde stepped back to serve as mentors and cheerleaders before gracefully retiring.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says of Schumer, “Chuck’s in a really tough spot. I mean, he cut this deal with a lot of these left-wing special interest groups. And I think that’s unfortunate, but it is because he’s feeling pressure on his hard left. But I think there are a lot of reasonable Democrats in the middle. I mean, we’re hearing from him, Greta. We’re hearing from through my colleagues. They’re reaching out. People want an off-ramp. They want a way out of this box canyon that Chuck Schumer has marched them into.”

HYPOCRITES: CLICK https://x.com/DesireeAmerica4/status/1972101146442445205 [1:18] to hear about a mom who found a unique way to make her point.

J6: Social media has been aflame with reports that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Director Patel has clarified that the agents were not there before, but only sent in after the Metro Police declared it was a “riot.” He also noted that sending agents in to do crowd control “goes against FBI standards” and that then-Director Wray should have disclosed this information when he was asked by congressional leaders.

Patel also said, “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened. Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI.”

LIFE: “I spoke with a woman outside Planned Parenthood who was needing a pregnancy test, but PP wouldn’t give to her for free. So I told her about our pregnancy resource center and how they would give her a FREE test along with so much additional support if her test is positive, and she just started crying. She said she wouldn’t be able to have a kid. I told her that if she is pregnant, there are so many local organizations that will help her parent or choose adoption, but that we had time to talk through all her options. But, her first step was to take the test and connect with the center, which she did!” –Ramona, Indiana Advocate

PANTS ON FIRE: CLICK https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1972109821252882915 [:23] to hear Kamala Harris lie her face off. Firstly, “Charlie Kirk’s shooter was MAGA” was not a joke. It was a lie. ABC is licensed by the government to use public airwaves. People can say whatever they like on cable television channels. But on public channels, they have to obey the FCC’s rules, one of which is “no lying.”

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Please bless all of the parents, teachers, administrators, and government agencies charged with the sacred responsibility to educate our children. Grant them patience, courage, and wisdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

SCIENCE: Once again, the Bible is proven right. “Then God said: Let the earth bring forth every kind of living creature. “ ~ Genesis 1:24

SHUTDOWN: CLICK https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1971964979818738172 [:51] to hear VP Vance on the subject. I refuse to listen to Democrats moaning about a shutdown. I remember too well how, during the 2013 shutdown under Obama, federal funds were used to fence off and guard open air monuments from visitors, including elderly Honor Flight veterans.

TRUMP: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1687353678625445 [5:26 ] to hear what Trump promised a veteran who was getting the runaround from the VA. The veteran posted this to the video: “Scott Zimmermann – He did what he said he was going to do. The VA Hospital I go to has done a 180° turnaround. The VA claims process has sped up from months/years to only weeks/months. The quality of care is way better also.”

WE ARE NOT LIKE THEM: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYMy9UNy3h4 to hear #WalkAway clips from gay Republicans. “It’s harder to come out as a Trump supporter and a Republican than it is to be gay.”

BLM: The founder of Black Lives Matter has pleaded guilty to 27 counts of fraud for spending the money donated to BLM on herself. Monica Cannon-Grant’s expenditures included car and insurance payments, high-end salon visits, luxury dinners, and a Maryland vacation. She also pocketed $54,000 in taxpayer-funded pandemic relief, much of which she also spent on herself.

CHARACTER.AI: In 2024, a lawsuit was filed alleging the Character.AI chatbot drove a teen to suicide. The company responded by allegedly adding a self-harm resource to its platform and new safety measures for users under the age of 18.

This week, three more lawsuits were filed alleging the chatbot isolated the children from their friends and families and talked with them about sexually explicit content, including non-consensual and fetish-style scenarios. Sometimes this continued after the teen had told the bot to stop it. Two of the teens committed suicide.

The lawsuits claim that the company and its founders not only intentionally targeted children, but had Google’s help. One of the teens had Google controls on her phone to block the internet and apps her parents didn’t approve of, yet the girl was still able to get access to Character.AI.

MEDIA: [9:38] – Despite the fact that FBI Director Kash Patel, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, Utah District Attorney Jeffrey Grey, Tyler Robinson’s parents, and Tyler’s own texts have provided abundant evidence that Charlie’s killer was deeply motivated by leftwing ideology, the Left Stream Media has tried its hardest to paint him as a MAGA Republican who supposedly killed Charlie for not being right wing enough.

The FCC Chairman is threatening action against Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and Disney for deliberately misleading the public by claiming Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a MAGA Conservative. CLICK https://x.com/DerrickEvans4WV/status/1968111371905798553 [1:07] to hear his disgusting monologue.
