• I asked people to read the Monroe Doctrine the other day.
• How many of you did your homework?
• Is there a connection of that Doctrine and what Trump did?
• Take Portugal and Spain and replace with China and Russia.
• Can a seated American President just go snatching people out of their homes in the dead of night?
• John Quincy Adams – when he was 15 went to France with his father, to conduct foreign policy for the New American Confederation of States. When John Adams returned to the states he told his son to stay. 
• John Quincy Adams was probably the most knowledgable when it came to dealing with foreign nations. 
• Spain and Portugal are not the same TKD!!! I can hear you all now.
• The Spanish Empire was just that, an Empire. 
• Dispatching the US Navy to the island nation of Cuba – RFK Jr cited the Monroe Doctrine. 
• The idea that this has never happened before is absurd. 
• The US indicted Maduro – In March 2020, Maduro was charged in the Southern District of New York for narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices. 
• After initially offering a reward offer of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Maduro in 2020, the Department of State on January 10, 2025, increased the reward offer to up to $25 million. On August 7, 2025, the Department announced the further increase in the reward offer to up to $50 million after the Department of Treasury sanctioned Cartel of the Suns as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist on July 25, 2025.  As leader of Cartel of the Suns, Maduro is the first target in the history of the Narcotics Rewards Program with a reward offer exceeding $25 million.
• Hasn’t Trump been saying Venezuela emptied their prisons into the US?
• Why would Maduro taunt Trump? He taunted him for MONTHS leading up to his arrest and extradition. 
• Is this our new foreign policy?

• Is Venezuela a Catholic country?

From the Chatroom – He wasn’t kidnapped. We decided to steal him. (Strategically Transfer El-Presidente (to an) Alternate Location)

• The people of New York are going to get their share of Communism and they are going to get it hard.
• I just happen to know a newly wedded couple living in New York.

• I don’t need guests, I don’t want guest, we have contributors and that is that.
• We will do interviews as separate stand alone interviews and later upload them to the site as podcasts.

• Will we takeover Mexico next?
• Will we decide to takeover Cuba?
• Do you think right now the leaders in Cuba are doubling up their palace guards?
• You do know that Maduro only had Cuban guards right?!

• How close were we to having Tim Walz as our Vice President?
• Would this fraud have ever come to light if he were to be VP?
• To the Somali immigrants, those asylum privileges can be revoked. You are here only due to our hospitality. You are here out of our charity. You don’t have to REMAIN here.
• You think they learned how to game this system and set this elaborate network of fraud out of nothing and all on their own?
• Half of them can’t speak English thus can’t write it or read it correct? So how did they fill out all these forms to set this whole network up?

• The US Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd that shot and killed Ashli Babbitt in cold blood on January 6th, did you know he was also part of this fraud? His wife claims to run a daycare out of their macmansion. 

HEADLINE: Questions Grow as Lt. Michael Byrd, Who Shot Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, Operates a Taxpayer-Funded Home Daycare as $190 Million in Federal Child Care Funds Flow to Maryland by Jim Hoft

• Investigative  journalist Paul Sperry discovered and posted that Former Lt., now Captain Mike Byrd, and his wife, Kaleska Byrd, have operated a home-based day care called Byrd’s Family Day Care from their residence in Brandywine, Maryland, since 2008. That is nearly 17 years!
• The fraud that has been perpetrated is all of the cash money redirected away from productive endeavors. 
• Can you imagine if all this money was put back into society? 
• Who is ultimately responsible for this?

• 5 Oil companies that were over the span of 20 years were nationalized. The first one being done after Chavez. 
• The crude oil you get off the coast of Venezuela is not the same as the Permian basin. 
• The main difference is that Venezuelan oil, primarily from the Orinoco Belt, is mostly heavy, viscous, and sour (high sulfur), requiring significant upgrading and specialized refineries, while Permian Basin oil is predominantly light and sweet, flowing easily and yielding more valuable products like gasoline with less processing, making Permian crude generally easier and cheaper to refine for typical U.S. needs. 
• Where are the refineries that can handle Venezuelan oil? 
• Do not mistake this as an endorsement.
• I think there is a foreign policy point made by the arrest of Maduro. 
• From the U.S. Department of State Website – After initially offering a reward offer of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Maduro in 2020, the Department of State on January 10, 2025, increased the reward offer to up to $25 million. On August 7, 2025, the Department announced the further increase in the reward offer to up to $50 million after the Department of Treasury sanctioned Cartel of the Suns as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist on July 25, 2025.  As leader of Cartel of the Suns, Maduro is the first target in the history of the Narcotics Rewards Program with a reward offer exceeding $25 million.
• What did people think when the Biden administration increased the reward of an international criminal?
• Stop calling this a kidnapping people. He was and is a criminal. They captured him to prosecute him.

• The short answer to Greene’s question is yes, it is okay if we do it, because we are doing it for ourselves, in furtherance of our national interests and national security, which is what the rules-based international order was created to safeguard. We had a communist dictator of an oil-rich country on our doorstep, who had not only colluded with narco-terrorist gangs to flood our shores with deadly drugs and illegal migrants, but had invited China, Russia, Cuba, and Iran to take up important roles in his military and industrial base. The radar and missile defenses our aviators had to take out over Caracas were built and operated by Russia. The troops guarding Maduro himself were Cuban. This was a strike above all against the revisionist powers that sought to gain a foothold (that had gained a foothold) in our backyard.
• Again I give you the Monroe Doctrine.
• President Monroe –

• I guess American audiences love this kind of stuff.
• Matlock – the newest version has lesbians kissing on PRIME TIME TV!
• That is the state we are in folks.

HEADLINE: A Qualified Defense Of El Trumpo On Venezuela by Rod Dreher

• My greater concern is that the US has no plan going forward — that the sense of triumphalism in Trump’s circle now feels a lot like Bush 2003 (“Mission Accomplished”), or Obama after overthrowing Libya’s Qaddafi. Trump says the US is going to “run” Venezuela, but so far, the Maduro-less regime does not seem all that willing to comply. Maybe they will; it could be that their rhetoric is face-saving, for domestic consumption. But if Venezuela becomes a failed state — which could easily happen — God help us all. – Rod Dreher
• I don’t think we need to go around the world to repair failed states.
• What justifies this action, from a Pentagon strategic perspective, is the convergence of three existential threats from America’s three primary adversaries. China has embedded operational control into critical mineral extraction that feeds weapons manufacturing. Iran has established drone production facilities within strike range of the continental United States. Russia has deployed military advisers and integrated air defense systems in the Caribbean. Venezuela represents the only location where all three adversaries operate simultaneously. The oil is secondary. Breaking Chinese supply chain dominance, eliminating Iranian manufacturing capability, and expelling Russian military presence are primary.
• Netanyahu basically gave Trump the “Employee of the Year” award. Maybe if we didn’t do Benji’s dirty work in Iran, they wouldn’t hate us. 
• Is Communism a kissing cousin of Shia Islam or Sharia Law?
• Communism says there is no God.
• So is there another side to this story other than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rand Paul stories?
• I just gave you 2 examples. 

• There is a difference, too, between what a foreign country does to pursue its interests and what we do to pursue and safeguard our own. As an American, I’m partial to my own country. I would like our leaders to defend our borders and protects our interests with all the power at their disposal. I expect them to do so. If China invaded Taiwan, that would be contrary to our national interests and we would rightly oppose it. If a neighboring country devolved into a narco-state (as Mexico has), I would want us to take action against that country, international rules be damned.
• I said this in November after the election that I hoped the President would deem all of the Mexican cartels as enemy combatants.

• The President of the United States remembered the Epiphany yesterday in an official capacity!

SIDE BAR – Leaving Mass on Sunday at St Patrick’s Cathedral – and guess who was there? Raymond Arroyo. 

• Did you know the 3 Wise Men left Iran, Persia on the Conception date of St John the Baptist?
• Listen to yesterday’s Saint of the Day on the Epiphany. It is wonderful and very detailed. 
• More than 2,000 years after His birth, Jesus Christ remains a guiding light for our country and for all of the human race.  This Epiphany, the First Lady and I join Christians in praying that the light of Jesus Christ will lead us ever closer to a future filled with justice, generosity, prosperity, and peace.
• So when was the last time a President of the United States had an Epiphany message?
• Did Catholic Joe Biden do that?

AUDIO/VIDEO: President Donald Trump at Republican Retreat – January 6th – Do you know that the news never reported the words “Walk or march PEACEFULLY and patriotically to the Capitol?” They never reported it, it;’s a scandal. The Unselect Committee never reported that. they never reported that Nancy Pelosi was offered 10,000 soldiers. But Nancy got caught when her daughter reordered her. This was a major story, has she spoken to her daughter since then? You know they are vicious people. 

AUDIO/VIDEO: FLASHBACK – Nancy Pelosi Admitting Fault from Documentary – We have responsibility, Terry. We didn’t not have any accountability for what was going on there and we should have. Should we call the National Guard? Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with. They clearly didn’t know. I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.

• I just despise these people. If you want the full video of this show daily because I do play bumper music, you will have to become a member.

• So there were over 1,200 adult transportation companies in that area when the STATE already provides this service.
• I want you all to understand what is happening here and the scale and scope.
• An entire political party made up of millions of people and thousands of elected leaders, colluded to defraud ALL American citizens.
• They had to train non-English speaking foreigners in the dark art of defrauding the Federal Government of the United States.
• Who wrote the rules on how to get these grants?

• Yes and the shoes Mrs Mamdani wore were like over $800 so that just shows you Communist and Socialist are all about living THIER best life while you suffer.
• How do you know which landlords will oppose you? You smoke them out by gaslighting the tenants. 
• There were other candidates out there that could have beaten Mamdani.
• The GOP just dropped the ball on this race.
• You can’t blame Trump personally I mean the city of New York tried to erase him and jail him.
• This is one they truly let get away. Maybe the meeting with Trump and Mamdani in the Oval Office must be a lie.
• Trump genuinely wants to like people and Mamdani is just a hardline Communist.
• It is not the same thing, just like in Boston with Michele Wu, the Mayors of America are increasingly becoming Communist and Socialist.
• We have to stop backing off and we need to lean into this and stop it.

AUDIO/VIDEO: FLASHBACK 1991 Margaret Thatcher – Government vs the People – You do have to fight to keep the freedom because one day you’ve got so many people employed by the government that they have a vested interest in keeping more power in the hands of government and less in the hands of the people. No, it shall not be. 

Illegal Immigration – 

If you are a young person in the UK and you want to attend a local University, good luck because they are being used by the government to house illegals.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Nick Shirley w/ ‘David’ – Minnesota Medical Transportation Fraud – I have been to many of these transportation companies and I’ve been time stamping my photographs for a whole year at one facility in Minneapolis and those vans in that parking lot had not moved one inch in an entire year. They’re all still sitting there. So when you think about it, you have with the transportation companies, you have the adult care centers. So are they working hand in hand together to then say we’re getting the services from them adult daycare centers to then transport them to their appointments? It’s all fraud.

• Who trained these people to fill out all this paperwork?
• Most of these Somali’s can’t speak English so tell me how this happened?
• How long has this grift been going on?
• We had wondered going back to 2020 where was the money they raised going? They never spent as much as they raised but they always claimed they were out of money.
• Democrats are at the center of this, the same thing with BLM founders. The leaders bought mansions for her family from that money. They helped ZERO black people other than themselves. 
• If you are Fox News right now aren’t you at least a little bit shamed right now?
• A YouTube little journalist cracked this case wide open and not ONE actual educated journalist at a MSM could do it?
• All he did was stake out these places and record NO children begin ushered in or out daily.

• A 23 year old YouTuber did this!! That is how easy it was to break this fraud scandal.
• NOT one MSM sent a reporter to check it out to even see what was happening in Minnesota.
• There is something to be said for what is served to the American population by MSM.
• Where was Fox, where was the New York Times…hell ANYONE in journalism? Where were these people that are supposed to sniff out the truth?
• We are going to find out that the Somali people here are all in on this, this massive grift to steal all the Federal money they can.
• Watch Fox News, how do they manage to find medical doctors that all look like Lara Trump? How do they manage to find all these contributors that just so happen to fit that Fox News mold?

HEADLINE: Candace Owens, conservatism, and the crisis of credibility by Chris Anderson 

• Conservatism does not benefit from internal scorched-earth tactics. It does not benefit from unverified accusations, nor from elevating spectacle over substance. And it certainly does not benefit from leaders who place personal brand, revenue, or notoriety above responsibility and restraint.
• Money has a way of distorting purpose. Influence has a way of testing character. If Candace Owens’s motivation were purely rooted in faith, her conduct would reflect humility, reconciliation, and discipline—not perpetual conflict. The conservative movement, particularly black conservatives seeking serious representation, deserves better than gossip masquerading as principle.
• If a fall from grace is coming, it will not be because of outside opposition—but because of choices made from within. True leadership requires not only conviction, but wisdom. And wisdom, unlike outrage, cannot be monetized.
• This is not moving conservatism forward. None of what she is doing is moving the agenda forward.
• Candace Owens has NEVER been a thought leader. She has been a commentator and said wild things but she has tried to market herself as a truth teller recently. She has benefitted greatly from this financially.
• God is above all else, you must practice everything you do knowing that. God, family then country. 
• We hear a lot about the Jews and Gentiles at this time of the year. Teach all men of all nations…right?!

• There is law here.
• If you place a bounty on someone’s head, someone will eventually get paid right? So why can’t it be Seal Team 6?
• We should dominate and take what we need to protect our people.
• Trump is all about that, that is his main goal.
• I honestly think Trump is going to purchase Greenland.
• Could this all work out in our favor?
• Alaska kinda’ did!
• We haven’t had a president like Trump with his strategic mind. 
• Donald Trump has earned enough good will that if he says we need Greenland, I think we need Greenland.
