Senator Murphy “The invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with American security. Venezuela is not a security threat to the U.S.. This is about making Trump’s oil industry and Wall Street friends rich. Trump’s foreign policy – the Middle East, Russia, Venezuela – is fundamentally corrupt.”

Dana Bash of CNN made a huge blunder when questioning Senator Murphy. She reminded him of an op-ed he had written in 2019
Dana Bash:
In 2019, you wrote an op-ed, and you called for Maduro to be gone. You said:

“Let’s get one thing straight: there should no longer be any debate about Maduro’s lack of democratic legitimacy. The Trump administration is right to put restoring Venezuelan democracy at the center of our approach to this crisis. A return to a stable democracy is in the interest of the Venezuelan people, the United States, and the hemisphere.”

She appears to have forgotten that CNN is a propaganda network so Murphy explained

Chris Murphy:
Well, the rest of that article was a criticism of President Trump’s early moves to saber-rattle around regime change.

This must be a joke. Funding to Minnesota day care centres was paused until an inspection.
So a private day care is looking to hire 20 children for 3 days when the inspectors come around . On craigslist.

The operative word in your post is citizen.
Might want to go review US Laws before commenting on things you seem to have 0 understanding of.
Start with the 1st Amendment.

yeah because Trump cares about laws

Why did u delete the post oponu?
3rd hand citizen feeling funky
I dare u to tag trump on x, truth social and spew hate madam citizen
you'll be chilling under oshodi bridge by weekend

I deleted it because you’ve seen it. It was for you alone so that you can stop being an ignorant nuisance.

But let’s say your envious wishes were to come true and Trump somehow has the kingly power to unilaterally take away my citizenship for not supporting him, why would I be under Oshodi bridge and not my house?

Trump retweets a video where Minnesota killer claimed to have been sent by Tim Walz.
I think Trump has better intelligence access than budaatum.

Trump retweets another . Dominion Rigging machines are configured to switch votes.Smartmatic founded by 3 Venezuelans helped Chavez and Maduro win elections. Smartmatic owned Dominion through convoluted offshore shell companies.
Democrats are scared that Maduro will expose the role of Smartmatic and Dominion in 2020.
Similar to the wild baseless claims made against Trump by many of you here,this one is from me. Cuban president flew to Caracas in 2020 and watched live as the 2020 election was stolen ,the machines flipping Trump votes to Biden . The Belgrade Dominion office which is their software development centre was remotely connected to these rigging machines.Kraken.

JD Vance home attacked windows shattered.

There are Nigerians and a whole lot of Black people living in China for more than thirty years. If you tell them to leave China, they will object. Humans are different, so why do we expect them to be in unison?

Give them the option of a US visa with citizenship and give them China visa with citizenship

Offer it to 100 Nigerians and check the ratio that will pick one over the other

On January 10, 2025, the Biden-Harris administration put a $25 million bounty on Nicolás Maduro for information leading to his arrest or conviction.

Public safety is not a political game.

You do not label someone a narco-dictator one year and then pretend he is no longer a threat the next simply because a different president is in office. That is cynical and irresponsible.

Maduro’s drugs have killed thousands of Americans and continue to endanger our children. Imagine being the parents of 2-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici, who died from fentanyl poisoning in a Bronx daycare, and watching this political theater.

America is safer today because Maduro is no longer in power.

Welcome to New York, Nicolás.

And has effectively elected Amy Klobuchar. She will dogwalk anybody who enters that race.

AND she will appoint a successor to finish her Senate term.

Interesting days ahead.

Lol Venezuela orders police to arrest anyone supporting the US intervention, now treating dissent as treason

Lol. It's difficult to get rid of a system. This goes much deeper than maduro

He was a very good governor. Unfortunately, it only takes one inkblot to stain a whole well of water.


This is bad news, very bad news for Mike Lindell. I feel for him. Jack Ciatarelli and Winsome Earl-Sears will look like stellar performances compared to the margins he will lose by, and given how polling is going, the state Senate of Minnesota will turn bluer.

Trump no they carry fight for head. He is willing to make amends with people he had feuds with.

We remember amarosa he gave a second chance only for her to screw him again. We know he is still friends with piers Morgan.

IbeOkehie:
Before I start let me PARTICULARLY condemn the absolute IGNORANCE contained in this mendacious ideological rhetoric -

You do know that the British owned a refinery in Nigeria in the 1960s or so? I think the Port Harcourt Refinery was originally owned by the British Petroleum or Shell but it was SEIZED, STOLEN AND NATIONALIZED by the government of Nigeria under Olusegun Obasanjo or Muratala Mohammed in the 1970's.

Your statement is CAPITAL IGNORANCE, I didn't even bother to look up anything before disputing it. I challenge ANYONE to call me a liar.

That's a major REASON nobody built a refinery in Nigeria AFTER that....fear of seizure by the government. Heellllooooo, is this too hard to find out, this is something EVERY Nigerian adult should know about. Goooodness, university educated Nigerians, who did this to you all? And then of course the entire impetus for any refinery was KILLED by the imposition of FUEL SUBSIDIES in 1973.

Like it or not, go read the news, Dangote maintained and stated and shouted it as far back as 2010 that he would only build his refinery on the understanding that fuel subsidy would be cancelled and prices deregulated. And that is EXACTLY what happened, because he has the political connections or knowledge to predict outcomes... if foreigners are not building now it's because they're still afraid of SEIZURE and also there's better opportunities elsewhere....same reason that my good self is not investing in Nigeria. Just in the last 48 hours some of the major oil companies in the USA have stated they won't want their seized properties back in Venezuela because they have more lucrative deals elsewhere...Guyana for one.

If Guyana plays its cards, it could become very rich. However, its neighbour, Trinidad and Tobago, also enjoyed oil money, but T&T is very unsafe.

Still need more evidence? Go look at why Shell abandoned their planned gas projects in Mozambique and moved the money to Australia or vice versa, it had to do with which government provided a more stable environment and incentives.

To be fair to Mozambique, Total is deeply involved, but needs security assurances from the central government.

Overvalued currencies KILL productivity and value addition, such currencies PROMOTE consumption. South Africa has a FREE FLOATING, uncontrolled currency, Nigeria has a government controlled currency, Kenya is more productive and exports more value added products than Nigeria because it has a free floating currency, THAT IS THE EXPLANATION and the DIFFERENCE, [i] it's real, anyone can go research this and learn. Then add property rights

But the naira has been devalued or at least considerably compared to Buhari's years. Regarding overvalued currencies, aren't the Singaporean Dollar and Swiss Franc too overvalued? Property's rights are stronger in Kenya and South Africa than most parts of West Africa.

demographic homogeneity and democracy and everything is clear. Why is Ghana more stable than Nigeria? It's because 50% of the country is from the same tribe.

This is our major problem - a country of many ethnic nations. So much distrust and cultural beliefs that clash against each other.

The Europeans and later Americans did contribute to the development of Black Africa. Right now the long term results are evident in South Africa, where a White Minority have created an environment that made the Negroes of Azania into the 2nd richest group of Negroes on the planet, while Nigeria that REJECTED White European rule became the Poverty Capital of the World in 2018. The Europeans learned from the TRAGEDY of Black African independence, so before giving up power in South Africa in 1990, they INSISTED on property rights and a free floating currency. The Great Traitor Nelson Mandela signed the secret protocols and they were written into the Constitution.

The interesting thing is how there are more Black dollar millionaires in South Africa than in Nigeria.

How do you explain that Zimbabwe expelled White Farmers and blamed the resulting economic disaster on Western Sanctions, while Nigeria that has not been sanctioned since 1999, became the Poverty Capital of the World? I sincerely crave and beg an explanation for this from the Afrocentric Patriots. If Oyibo sanctions, general malevolence and oppression is the root of Zimbabwe economic underperformance, why is it that Nigeria is the Poverty Capital of the World DESPITE enjoying good relations with the West, vast crude oil and natural gas reserves AND a brilliant, innovative and hard working and thriving population?

You are asking very tough questions o

The ONLY SOLUTION to POVERTY anywhere and in any time in history is FREE MARKETS.

Governments are the MAJOR OBSTACLE to free markets because the GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS and POLITICIANS use their POWER to steal from the BUSINESSMEN & INNOVATORS who are the actual producers & providers of goods and services. The worst governments are those with SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST & PROGRESSIVE ideologies because they're usually composed of unproductive, jealous, wicked and inert human beings who HATE successful people. Socialism, progressivism, liberalism and such are simply jealousy dressed up as political ideology....that wo/man has more wealth than me so I'm going to take it from them!!!

Agreed. The free market, nothing else, is the antidote to poverty across the world.

This is why a cursory look at migration flows between EU/Europe & the USA will always show MORE people migrating from the so-called paradise of Europe to the extreme hell of the USA. I make that claim without even looking up any immigration stats. Those who don't see the logic of WHY this happens are welcome to dispute it with evidence. And the people that migrate THE MOST from Europe to the USA are the most productive and innovative people, the risk takers and ambitious people.

I remember when most netizens mocked Trump when he said Norwegians, Swedish, Finnish, etc., should emigrate to the US. They argued that those folks are not interested in moving to the US, whereas the best and brightest of Norwegians, Swedish and Finns move to the US to ignite their careers and businesses.

The closest relative of the USA in Europe is the UK, they're Anglo nations. Again, without looking at statistics, I make the claim - net migration to the UK from the European Continental mainland is higher than migration from UK to the European Continental mainland. That may have changed in the LAST YEAR OF 2025 as the Labour government in London has put up increasingly SOCIALIST budgets.

True, and unfortunately for Europe, there is no replica for the UK. Certainly not Germany and definitely not France.

Impressive investigation of the communist socialist networks that also helped Mamdani win.

The socialists have well entrenched saboteurs. They work hand in hand with the people who wrote this
"a kind of grand plan in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

Wherever democrats win,I'm always suspecting foul play. Who was the Minnesota genius who came up on with this law
The rule that a registered Minnesota voter can vouch for up to eight other voters as proof of residence on Election Day is a long-standing provision of Minnesota law that has been in effect for over 50 years.

If you’re lying to yourself and attempting to lie to us that this attack on Venezuela is about drugs, you’re delusional .
