Venezuela's Anti-US Alliances
Posted By: 4250Luis, 12/3/2025 5:16:34 AM
Perhaps more significant to US strategic interests [than Venezuela's smuggling illegal drugs] is Maduro's cooperation with an anti-American alliance of autocracies in the Western Hemisphere. These include Russia, Cuba, China and Iran. Iran's regime, both before and after a number of visits to Venezuela, delivered military drones to Venezuela and has been strengthening Venezuela's military, thereby enabling the Maduro regime to threaten its neighbors including Guyana, Trinidad and Colombia, as well as the US. Cuba's role in Venezuela is even more invasive than that of Iran. Russia's role in helping to buttress Maduro's regime includes arms sales, joint army and air force exercises,

For years, Republicans have pledged to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a suitable alternative. Now there is an idea on the table that can complete that promise. The idea will use market forces to bring down the cost of healthcare for all. Obamacare is a problem. The law has imposed billions in costs on taxpayers through increased premiums. There is a way to bring premiums down without flooding the market with more taxpayer dollars. Without true healthcare reform legislation, taxpayer-subsidized spending to health insurance companies will get exponentially higher.
It was another terrible, no good, very bad day for New York Attorney General Letitia James earlier this week. Her campaign against pro-life pregnancy groups suffered a major setback when a federal appeals court blocked her from taking legal action to silence them.
The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) and two other pro-life pregnancy groups were likely to succeed on their claim that the AG’s threats to sanction their statements about abortion pill reversal (“APR”) violated their right to free speech, a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.
With Hezbollah refusing to demilitarize southern Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli military on Thursday struck the terrorist group’s weapons depots.
With Hezbollah continuing to hoard weapons in civilian areas, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) gave a prior evacuation warning before hitting southern Lebanon neighbourhoods.The IDF struck multiple Hezbollah weapons depots in southern Lebanon. The presence of these facilities is a direct violation of the ceasefire agreement.The IDF says it has completed a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah weapon depots in southern Lebanon,” The Times of Israel reported Thursday afternoon.
The DC pipe bomber has been revealed to be a race-baiter who worked hard to ensure violent illegal aliens suffered no consequences before carrying out the bombings.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the FBI arrested a man named Brian Cole in connection with the January 6 pipe bombs on Thursday morning. Cole is 30 years old and from Woodbridge, Virginia.
Cole allegedly planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol protest. The FBI previously released footage of him planting the bomb next to a park bench at the DNC.

A dozen Republican lawmakers signed a letter in conjunction with Democrats supporting the extension of subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).Signed by both Republicans and Democrats while addressed to bipartisan leadership in both chambers of Congress, the letter, titled the “CommonGround 2025: A Bipartisan Health Care Framework,” proposes extensions on health insurance premium savings for Americans.Dear Majority Leader Thune, Minority Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson, and Minority Leader Jeffries: Please find attached ‘CommonGround 2025: A Bipartisan Health Care Framework,’ our proposal outlining an extension of health insurance premium savings for American families,” the letter begins.
Demand for electric cars has slumped as Rachel Reeves prepares to hit them with a new pay-per-mile tax. The Telegraph has more.
Electric vehicle (EV) sales grew at their slowest rate in two years in November, at just 3.6%, according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Mike Hawes, the Chief Executive of the SMMT, tied the slowdown to the Budget and its long build-up.
He said: “Even in a fragile market, zero-emission vehicle uptake continues to rise, which is exactly what we need. But the weakest growth for almost two years – ahead of the Government announcing a new tax on EVs –
On Tuesday, Marco Rubio sat down for an interview with Sean Hannity. As you can imagine, Venezuela was a hot topic. Hannity asked if we're on the verge of conflict. Rubio responded by saying, "No… what the President has authorized is a counter-drug mission in the region." He then went on to explain that Nicolás Maduro's regime is not a legitimate government, but a narco-terrorist organization. Oh, and it's providing terrorist organizations from the Middle East with a safe space here in our own backyard as well.
He added, "In addition to that, the Venezuelan regime is a source of instability in the entire region.
After nearly five years, the January 6 pipe bomber was arrested by the FBI on Thursday.
Brian Cole, 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was taken into custody and charged with use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
Cole planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on said during a press conference on Thursday that the FBI solved the case without any new tips or witnesses.
Reform UK would have won every mayoral election Labour has delayed for two years as part of a highly convenient local government reorganisation. The Telegraph‘s Ollie Corfe has more.
Zia Yusuf, Reform’s former Chairman and current Head of Policy, said the Government had made a “blatant attempt to stop big wins” for the Right-wing party by delaying the election of four new mayors. He is not wrong.
The reasons behind the decision on Thursday to delay the elections may well be technical, with Labour blaming ongoing local government reorganisation, but there is no denying the move is also highly convenient for Sir Keir Starmer’s party.
In the eyes of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, the plan is nothing but another temporary ceasefire, not different than previous ones reached between Israel and Hamas over the past two decades.
Those who think that Hamas, by agreeing to Trump's "peace plan," has abandoned its desire to eliminate Israel or has softened its position toward Israel are unfortunately dead wrong.
Hamas leaders have stressed their opposition to the involvement of any non-Palestinians in the future administration of the Gaza Strip.
The state of Illinois is about to make it possible for illegal aliens to access state and local student financial aid. Governor J.B. Pritzker has already signed the law and it goes into effect on January 1st of 2026.
This is happening as the Trump Justice Department is suing various states over this exact issue. Student financial aid that is meant for American citizens should not be going to people who are in the country illegally.
This is an issue that goes directly to the core of what Trump has run on repeatedly. A law signed by Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL)

Group — Warns Danger of Violence from
His Followers 32 replies
Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said President Donald Trump’s comments about Somalians were creating a dangerous situation because his followers have “exhibited violence.”
Today at the White House, Trump said, “These Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country. They’ve taken billions and billions of dollars. They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married her brother. She should be thrown the hell out of our country. And most of those people, they have destroyed Minnesota.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “What is the practical impact when a President of the United States demonizes an entire group of people based on ethnicity?

Fuel Economy Standards that Drove Up Car Prices 21 replies
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that his administration is resetting Biden-era Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards that increased car prices.
Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the reset in the Oval Office while flanked by Republican lawmakers and auto industry leaders. “We’re officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible, actually, CAFE standards that impose expensive restrictions and all sorts of problems to auto makers,” Trump said.
The president noted that the CAFE standards imposed by the previous administration impacted both domestic and foreign manufacturers making cars for the American market and, in turn, consumers.

Prestigious Science Journal Retracts

Climate Study That Predicted Imminent
Economic Catastrophe 16 replies
Hoo boy. Sometimes, you might do something so embarrassing, so humiliating, that you want to hide in the closet. The prestigious science journal Nature may be thinking about doing that right about now, because on Wednesday, they officially retracted an influential 2024 climate report that predicted gloom and doom, death and misery, and impending economic catastrophe.
As is the case with so much of the leftist climate narrative, their wild claims were quite simply unproven:
In April 2024, the prestigious journal Nature released a study finding that climate change would cause far more economic damage by the end of the century than previous estimates had suggested.
The shooting of two National Guard members in Washington last week has taken a jarring new turn, and the emerging theory about the gunman’s motive points to a far deeper national security threat.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old Afghan national accused of killing Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, had served alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan before Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal. If you’ve been wondering why someone who once helped American troops would suddenly target National Guardsmen, you’re not the only one asking that question. Federal investigators now believe the Taliban may have blackmailed Lakanwal into carrying out the attack.
CNN host Jake Tapper misidentified Washington, DC, pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. as a “30-year-old white man” just before airing photos revealing him to be a black man.
“Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old white man from the D.C. suburbs, is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by means of explosion,” Tapper said on his show The Lead.
Several minutes later, Tapper’s own program aired photos of Brian Cole Jr., a black man.
Two Virginia twin brothers were arrested for their alleged roles in deleting government databases hosted by a federal government contractor, the Justice Department announced on Wednesday.
Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, both 34, were indicted last month for allegedly conspiring to delete databases used to store U.S. government information, the DOJ said in a news release.
The arrests come after Bloomberg News reported in May how the brothers allegedly compromised data across several agencies, including the IRS and the General Services Administration.
Affordable Care Act subsidies have been granted, without the required documentation, to 90% of fictitious applicants over the last two years, according to a damning government watchdog report released Wednesday.
The Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) preliminary findings of ongoing and covert testing of Obamacare found “fraud risks” in the federal ACA marketplace, specifically related to the healthcare program’s advance premium tax credit – a subsidy Democrats shut down the government over last month in a failed effort to extend the tax credit for three more years.
“The federal Marketplace approved coverage for nearly all of GAO’s fictitious applicants in plan years 2024 and 2025,
The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast.
Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021. For four years, Biden’s FBI failed to break the case while the pipe bombs were used as political ammunition against Trump supporters.
As PJ Media previously reported, Cole’s arrest did not result from new tips or a brave new witness suddenly emerging from the shadows; it was because
A grand jury in Virginia on Thursday declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on a new indictment related to allegations that she committed mortgage fraud.The decision comes after a federal judge dismissed the initial case against James last month, ruling that the federal prosecutor who brought the case was not lawfully appointed. The prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.[snip]. The second attempt to indict James was presented to the grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, by different prosecutors.

There's good news for Republicans on the congressional redistricting front Thursday evening, as the Supreme Court has now granted Texas' application to stay a divided three-judge district court panel ruling that enjoined the use of the newly drawn map.
Following the panel decision in mid-November, Texas appealed directly to the Supreme Court (as is permitted in redistricting cases), and the court swiftly issued an administrative (temporary) stay of the lower court decision. On Thursday, in a 6-3 ruling, the court formally stayed the panel decision pending its appeal on the merits. The practical effect of this
