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.

New Year’s Eve

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We pray today in a special way for all the people You have sent into our lives. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AULD LANG SYNE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/P1w-5GGTeyQ to hear the whole poem and its meaning.

MINNESOTA: In other news, Minnesota has taken voter fraud to new heights, having passed a law that allows a single registered voter bring up to 8 unregistered people to a voting station on Election Day. These 8 people need not provide any standard documents (like a driver’s license or utility bill) provided the single registered voter signs a paper vouching for them.

The one and only limitation is that someone who has become a registered voter by this vouching process may not turn around and vouch for others on that same day. Presumably, now being registered voters (who never produced a scrap of identification), those 8 could vouch for 64 new voters at the next election … and those 64 could vouch for 512 at the following election … and so on.

And just to add insult to injury, the original voter need not have been a citizen, since a Minnesota state law – signed by Gov. Tim Walz in 2023 – provides driver’s licenses regardless of immigration status. The law forbids the licenses carry any markings to indicate citizenship status and said driver’s licenses can be used to provide a name and an address for individuals to register to vote.

MUSIC NEWS: [4:07] – Fascinating!

PARENTS: This boy was not happy about kindergarten picture day. His parents still have the photo framed and on display twenty years later.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Come, Holy Spirit, and grant each of us an abundance of Your gifts that we may worthily proclaim the truth of Your Word. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS: Today, we celebrate the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. BTW, if you have kids or grands, there are coloring pages for the 12 Days of Christmas that include their meanings @ https://www.thecatholickid.com/12-days-of-christmas-coloring-pages/.

VENEZUELA: [5:44] – Trump says that, as part of U.S. anti-drug trafficking operations, our troops knocked out a loading facility linked to Venezuelan drug boats sometime before Dec. 26. China and Russia reportedly oppose Trump’s pressure on Venezuela, which kinda makes me think Trump has the right idea.

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.

How many homes do you need?” Bernie Sanders “Do I own 3 residences? Yeah.

CLICK https://x.com/joeroganhq/status/1995631496229720314 [:57] to hear the following Howie Mandell claim, “They never said you won’t get COVID if you take the vaccine,” then refuse to watch a tape of them saying it, because “it doesn’t matter.”

In May 2021, Anthony Fauci, then chief medical adviser to President Biden, appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Among other things, he said that fully vaccinated people “become a dead end to the virus.”

In July 2021, President Joe Biden appeared on a CNN town hall and state, “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” Biden has had the vaccinations; he has also caught COVID three times.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky (March 2021): “Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick.“

On March 29th, 2021, Rachel Maddow said on her MSNBC show, ”Vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus. The virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to get more people. That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this.”

During a July 23, 2020 CNN town hall entitled “Coronavirus: Town Hall with Bill Gates,” Gates said, “By the end of 2021, if people are willing to take the vaccine, we’ll be able to stop the transmission in the rich countries and maybe within nine months after that, in the world at large.”

During a CBS interview in April 2021, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla stated, “The protection it offers is 100% against hospitalizations and deaths, and 95% against infections.“

While testifying before Congress in May 2021, then-CDC Director Robert Redfield stated, “Inoculated people become dead ends for the virus.”

In early 2021, then U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy stated, “These vaccines are extraordinarily effective at preventing infection and transmission.“

On March 29, 2021, the CDC published an article entitled, “Real-World Study Confirms Protective Benefits of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines”, in which it said, “Vaccination with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine reduces infections by 90%, while a single dose confers 80% protection.”

In December 2020, then-UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock stated, “The vaccines will prevent people from catching and spreading the virus.“

In December 2020, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated highlighted global trial results and stated that vaccines like Pfizer’s would reduce infections by 95%.

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.

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.

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.

ICE

Democrat leaders have been loudly advocating for impeding ICE officers in the execution of their duties via tracking, doxxing, protesting, oversight, sanctuary policies, violence, and even arrest. Not surprisingly, there has been a massive surge in assaults on ICE officers in 2025. The DOJ has sent letters to the Democrat leaders, ordering them to preserve all their emails, etc., in the even they are investigated and warning they could be charged.

I asked Grok, “What law prevents local police from arresting federal agents?” It turns out it’s not a law. It’s Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2), which is backed up by federal case law, particularly In re Neagle (1890). Local police may not interfere with federal agents when they are acting within the scope of their federal duties. However, if a federal agent commits a clear violation of federal or state law outside their official duties (e.g., personal misconduct), local police may have authority to arrest them, subject to coordination with federal authorities.

I also asked Grok, “What democrat leaders have said ICE agents should be tracked, doxed, arrested, or in any other way impeded in their duties?” and got the following chart.

LeaderPositionKey Statement/ActionContext/ImplicationDate/Source
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA)Ranking Member, House Oversight CommitteeAnnounced plans for a “master ICE Tracker” website to “systematically document abuse and civil rights violations” by ICE, including “every single instance we can verify” of operations. Clarified it’s not for live locations but for post-incident records.Critics (e.g., AG Pam Bondi, Rep. Brian Steil) called this “doxxing” and a “target on ICE agents’ backs,” potentially exposing operations and agents. DHS warned it endangers officers.Oct. 22, 2025
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)House Democratic LeaderStated Democrats will identify masked ICE agents “no matter what it takes” during raids, vowing to “dox every ICE agent” to ensure accountability.Interpreted as a direct call to reveal agent identities, amid rising threats. ICE Director Todd Lyons said this invites violence; Sen. Marsha Blackburn cited it in anti-doxxing legislation.June 3, 2025 [post:46][post:52][post:55]
Mayor Freddie O’Connell (D-TN)Mayor of NashvilleReleased a public report naming federal ICE agents involved in local operations, tracking incidents between ICE and city officials. Defended it as transparency, not doxxing, but shifted focus to ICE’s masked tactics.Led to doxxing accusations; DHS and Sen. Blackburn condemned it as endangering agents. Resulted in threats and a federal investigation.May-June 2025
Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA)U.S. House MemberAccused by DHS of doxxing an ICE agent during a Carpinteria raid by publicizing details, inciting a riot that sent the agent to the ER. Denied it, calling it “oversight” of “disproportionate force.”DHS claimed it distorted events and led to assaults; part of a 700% rise in attacks blamed on Democratic rhetoric.July 14, 2025
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)U.S. House MemberPhysically intervened during an ICE arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at a detention facility, allegedly assaulting agents by pushing and grabbing them. Indicted on federal charges for impeding officers; called charges “absurd” and vowed to continue oversight.Video shows physical scuffle; DHS accused her of “body slamming” an officer. She framed it as defending against “intimidation.”May 9, 2025
Reps. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) & Jerry Nadler (D-NY)U.S. House MembersIntroduced the “No Masks for ICE” bill to ban masks and require agents to show IDs during operations, arguing anonymity enables misconduct.Critics called it a doxxing mandate, allowing “intimidation” by revealing identities. DHS linked it to threats.June 2025 [post:44]
Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA)U.S. House MemberCo-signed letter to DHS demanding info on masked ICE agents, calling for identification during arrests to prevent “bad actors” exploiting anonymity.Part of broader push for unmasking; experts say it erodes agent safety amid doxxing threats.July 25, 2025
State Sen. Analise Ortiz (D-AZ)Arizona State SenatorShared Instagram post warning of ICE near a school (no names/locations specified), urging vigilance. Faced expulsion calls and threats after Libs of TikTok accused her of “doxxing live locations” and impeding arrests.Framed as community alert; Republicans filed ethics complaint, claiming it endangers agents.Sept. 7, 2025
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ)U.S. House MemberJoined McIver and others in “storming” an ICE facility for oversight; accused by DHS of assaulting officers during Baraka’s arrest. Denied it, calling DHS threats “intimidation.”Part of group confrontation; DHS released bodycam footage showing pushes.May 9, 2025
NY State Sen. James Paris (D-CT)Connecticut State SenatorPosted on social media about ICE enforcement in his district, urging residents to “remain vigilant” (no specifics). ICE/DHS reposted Libs of TikTok claim of “doxxing live location” and impeding arrests, leading to racist threats.Aimed at warning constituents; ICE called it evasion aid. Similar to Ortiz case.Aug. 19, 2025
Brad Lander (D-NY)NYC Comptroller & Mayoral CandidateArrested by ICE for physically shielding an undocumented immigrant from arrest in a courthouse, walking arm-in-arm to block agents. Charged with impeding and assaulting an officer.DHS called it undermining safety for a “viral moment”; he claimed oversight of rights violations.June 17, 2025
Foothill Community DemocratsLocal Democratic Party Branch (CA)Posted on Instagram identifying 6 LA hotels housing ICE agents, urging calls to evict them and organizing protests.Direct doxxing of locations; DHS vowed prosecutions for such “thugs” impeding operations.June 14, 2025
Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL)Illinois GovernorSigned executive order for an “accountability commission” to document ICE misconduct and pursue prosecutions; warned National Guard of liability for agent abuses.Focuses on post-incident tracking; aligns with federal Democratic oversight but criticized as anti-ICE.Oct. 2025
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA)U.S. House Member, Chair Emerita of Progressive CaucusDemanded end to ICE arresting U.S. citizens/veterans; co-led inquiries into racial profiling. Posted video of Democrats protesting ICE arrests, calling tactics “unacceptable.” Introduced bill to ban such detentions.Frames as anti-kidnapping oversight; indirectly impedes by highlighting “illegal actions” and rallying opposition.Feb.-Sept. 2025 [post:39][post:40][post:41][post:42]

Additional Context

  • Broader Trends: Multiple Democratic attorneys general (e.g., AZ’s Kris Mayes) and mayors (e.g., LA’s Karen Bass) have pushed for unmasking laws, citing impersonator risks but drawing doxxing backlash . A group of Democratic AGs urged Congress to ban ICE masks .
  • No Direct Arrest Calls: While no leader explicitly said “arrest ICE agents” en masse, figures like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) appeared on Fox News suggesting arrests for specific misconduct . Most focus on accountability via lawsuits or investigations .
  • Counter-Claims: Democrats deny doxxing intent, emphasizing transparency (e.g., Garcia’s tracker is “routine oversight” ). MSNBC and NYT reports note Trump’s DHS often mischaracterizes criticism as incitement without evidence .
  • Consequences: These statements correlate with indictments (e.g., three women for chasing/posting an agent’s address ) and a DHS tip line for doxxing reports . ICE reports 1,000% assault increase, blaming rhetoric .

AOC: On October 6, 2025, AOC mocked White House deputy chief of policy, Stephen Miller, calling him a “clown” and said he “looks like he’s 4’10” tall. She framed this as part of a broader call to “laugh at” MAGA men’s “insecure masculinity” to undermine their movement. Miller is actually 5’10” tall.

BEAUTY BREAK: Ignore the “He’s an idiot” thing and just watch! [8:05] – The good part is only the first three and a half minutes. After that, it’s just chatter.

CALI: On October 7, 2025, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter grew frustrated with follow-up questions from CBS reporter Julie Watts, calling them “unnecessarily argumentative.” She threatened to end the interview and appeared to reach for her microphone while saying, “I don’t want to keep doing this… Not like this.”

EVERYDAY HEROES: This soldier was on my delayed flight home to Mississippi. He had to watch his baby being born over FaceTime. He was crying, and it broke all of our hearts. We gave him space and stayed quiet so he could be present for the moment.

When we heard the sound of the baby crying through his phone, the whole plane cheered for him.
