Monday Trump will designate Cartel de los Soles a Terror Organization. Maduro has a US indictment and a $50 million reward on his head. CIA ops now ongoing. My take…. Trump wants Maduro a hard out…. US oil companies back in. 300 million barrels.

Trump diktat to Ukraine shameful. Russia will use pause to rearm and prepare next phase of seizing all Ukraine.

Very moving funeral for VP Cheney. A window into a better era. Character. Experience. Devotion to country and family. I was JCS notetaker for Gen Powell at daily update with Sec Def Cheney. Visited him as VP. Rumsfeld was the dark actor. A serious man. He denounced Trump.

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

This a huge mistake in judgement and a very dangerous call for military insurrection. They should focus on their own Constitutional role. Intervene legally in the Federal judicial system. Win the midterm elections. Speak out in the media. Stop military appropriations.

Tyrant.

IMPORTANT. “The Coming of the Third Reich”. Richard J Evans.

The first volume of a Trilogy.

A brilliant and detailed account of the political victory of the Nazis by 1933.

It was never inevitable.

Massive high tech and lethal US Navy presence in the Caribbean. In search of a mission. Ineffective to execute anti drug ops. Unlikely to bring down Maduro. Massive increase in cocaine production in Colombia. Strategy by whim.

WA PO…The shutdown was always going to end like this— Agree. Boneheaded political theater by the Democrats. Continue to destroy the country to achieve a political win on an 8 week ACA CR? Really.

ICE is sending a chill through the construction industry The construction industry, where more than a quarter of workers are foreign-born, has long struggled to find enough workers. Now, industry officials say Trump's immigration crackdown is making it worse.

view.email.seattletimes.com?qs=a1b722a05... Democrats shut down entire government over an 8 week CR without ACA subsidies. Now new CR until February no subsidies. All Agencies upside down. Fiscal Year started 1 Oct. Our government pathetic.

There’s nothing too crazy for these folks

The Dump ballroom mockup released by the White House, dwarfing the remaining building. It will be equipped with a massive surveillance system for listening in on visiting dignitaries, "friends," and enemies.

A palace and a massive surveillance system.

A disgraceful action against this beautiful national treasure. Not a peep from Congress. Trump rules by decree.

US is sending an aircraft carrier to Latin America in major escalation of military firepower The U.S. military is sending an aircraft carrier to the waters off South America in the latest escalation of military firepower to a region.

apnews.com/article/trum... — Center of cocaine production Colombia. Peru. Bolivia. 75% sea drugs Pacific. Biggest killer fentanyl from Mexico. Maduro the target. No say Congress. No legal arguments.

Trump Says All Trade Talks With Canada Are Terminated US President Donald Trump said he would immediately halt all trade negotiations with Canada, citing a Canadian advertisement against his signature tariffs plan featuring the voice of former President ...

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... — Trump decisions volatile, whimsy, irrational. Canadians think we have become a goofy and irrational enemy. Annex Canada? Nuts.

apnews.com/article/trum... I’ve been in the White House under four Presidents. Two Republicans. Two Democrats. Always felt the honor and privilege of being there. Trump tears it down.

Submersibles. Under water except conning tower. Built in Colombia. Russian sub experts. Carry multi-ton loads of cocaine. Very difficult to detect even with airborne radar. In use 20’years. Not too good for water skiing or fishing.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Ran into Ted Cruz at the airport and called him out for his BS lies and shutting the government down

I've never seen and felt as much love for America as we're seeing across the country today.

These large submersibles from Colombia are ALWAYS major drug smuggling cocaine ops. (Not fentanyl) They are Cartel ops with massive damage to US. Dubious legality without congressional AUMF).

Trump Commutes Sentence of Former GOP Lawmaker George Santos President Donald Trump said he was commuting the sentence of former Republican lawmaker George Santos, who was convicted and sentenced to prison for stealing campaign funds.

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... And so it rolls on. Government by decree. By whim.

Hamas reasserts control on streets of Gaza, turning guns on its rivals—- Tragically complicated. Hanas will never disarm. Israel can never accept their return to power. Where is the international peacekeeping force? NOT US.

Thanks. Easy to miss.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

The Executive is laying taxes without the consent of Congress.
The Executive is spending money without the consent of Congress.
Other than that, everything is totes normal.

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Likely the active combat will cease for some period of time. IDF exhausted. Hamas on the ropes. Palestinians smashed. Hamas will never disarm. Israel will never agree to deal with Hamas as the government of Gaza. The IDF just bought 10 years until the next Arab war to destroy Israel.
