President Donald Trump on Saturday said that the airspace "above and surrounding" Venezuela should be considered as "closed in its entirety," an assertion that raised more questions about the U.S. pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. His government accused Trump of making a "colonial threat" and seeking to undermine the South American country's sovereignty. The White House did not respond to questions about what Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, and it was unclear whether he was announcing a new policy or simply reinforcing the messaging around his campaign against Maduro, which has involved multiple strikes in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean on small boats accused of ferrying drugs as well as a buildup of naval forces in the region. More than 80 people have been killed in such strikes since early September. Continue Reading »

President Trump on Saturday said that the airspace surrounding Venezuela should be considered closed, ratcheting up tensions with Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and offering yet another sign that he is considering striking targets on land.

President Trump warned that Venezuelan airspace is too dangerous to fly. "To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY," he posted Saturday on social media.

Maria, a former Venezuelan prosecutor living in Houston, Texas, won't use the word "happy". But in August, when she saw that the United States had doubled the reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, she said she felt "validated". The reward now sits at $50m, one of the highest bounties ever offered by the US government. To Maria, the bounty is a path to toppling a government steeped in human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention and torture. She fled Venezuela in 2017 and spoke under a pseudonym for fear of reprisals. But experts warn that US President Donald Trump's strategy of dangling million-dollar rewards for Maduro's capture could backfire, leading to further instability in Venezuela. Continue Reading »

President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that the United States is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela, telling service members during a Thanksgiving call that efforts for strikes on land will be starting "very soon." "In recent weeks, you've been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many. Of course, there aren't too many coming in by sea anymore," Trump told service members in the call.

"The land is easier, but that's going to start very soon. Continue Reading »

The U.S. has issued the strongest signal yet that it may soon launch a ground operation inside Venezuela. President Donald Trump told American troops that "land action" against the Maduro regime is coming "very soon." The president made the comment during his Thanksgiving call with U.S. troops, praising the Air Force's 7th Bomb Wing for destroying suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean. The military has hit nearly two dozen vessels since September, killing more than 80 people the Trump administration claims were working with cartels. The contested legality of those strikes has led to significant global and domestic backlash, most recently from some Democrats in Congress. Continue Reading »

Trump Rejects Maduro Request For Amnesty In Newly Disclosed Phone Call President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's request for broad amnesty during a newly disclosed phone conversation last week, telling Maduro and his top advisers to drop their demands and swiftly exit Venezuela as US military pressure intensifies, which has lately included an order to halt all flights in the country's sovereign airspace. According to people familiar with the exchange who spoke to The Wall Street Journal, Trump and Maduro discussed a sweeping amnesty plan, during which time Maduro is said to have sought blanket legal protection for himself, his senior officials, and their families. "Trump told Maduro that if he didn’t leave willingly, the US would consider other options including the use of force, according to people familiar with discussion," WSJ wrote. Many of those same officials are at this moment under US sanctions or face criminal charges related to corruption and narcotics trafficking.  President Trump is said to have dismissed the proposal while warning Maduro that the United States would ramp up military action if he refused to step down. This is consistent with prior Washington ... Continue Reading »

The Santa Rally Recipe: Fed Put In Full Force By Peter Tchir of Academy Securities The market figured out a holiday recipe that works well: A Healthy Dose of Fed Puts. A Dash of Trade Hopes. A Smidge more Fed Puts because you can never have enough Fed Puts. In the past 5 trading days (including Friday November 21st): The Nasdaq 100 is up 5.7% (outpacing the “rotation” trade of the S&P 500 Equal Weight which is up 3% in those same trading days). The probability of a Fed cut at the December meeting spiked to 83% from 35% (well within the range where the Fed would be unlikely to disappoint). 10s rallied as well, though “only” from 4.07% to 4.02%. Bitcoin, which traded below $82,000 on the 21st, has reclaimed the $90k threshold. Credit spreads joined in the party as CDX went from 56 to 51. That was matched by the Bloomberg Corporate Bond OAS, which tightened from 85 to 80. There were a couple of other “events” during the week that created some interesting movements (at least briefly). First, and possibly most interesting longer-term, was the sudden need to understand a TPU versus a GPU. We were able ... Continue Reading »

NYT Torches Tim Walz After Somalians Scam Woke Minnesota For $1 Billion 'On His Watch' The NY Times has thrown Minnesota governor Tim Walz under the bus over a massive and sprawling fraud scandal that federal prosecutors say siphoned over $1 billion from the state's social safety net programs - more than the entire state spends annually to run its Department of Corrections. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) The fraud involved a series of schemes that federal authorities say took root over the past five years, many centered within Minnesota’s Somali diaspora, where individuals established companies that billed state agencies for services that were never performed. Prosecutors say 59 people have been convicted across various cases so far, in three separate plots. Minnesota’s fraud scandal stood out even in the context of rampant theft during the pandemic, when Americans stole tens of billions through unemployment benefits, business loans and other forms of aid, according to federal auditors. - NYT Federal prosecutors have emphasized the seriousness of the cases being prosecuted by career federal attorney Joseph H. Thompson - who warned that the scale of fraud threatens public confidence. “No one will support these programs if they ... Continue Reading »

Watch: Chevy Proves Woke Is Dead With New Ad Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Chevrolet’s new Christmas commercial “Memory Lane” has taken the internet by storm, racking up millions of views and an avalanche of praise for its simple, heartfelt storytelling that celebrates a traditional American family. There are no lectures, no forced diversity, just a mom and dad driving their 1987 Suburban to a snowy cabin reunion with their grown kids and grandkids. The three-minute spot shows the empty-nester couple retracing decades of family memories as “Merry Christmas Baby” plays, ending with the whole clan gathered around the tree in a tear-jerking return to the kind of ads that once defined the season before woke corporate activism poisoned the well. In the ad, the mom’s hand rests on the dash as flashbacks roll of babies in car seats, teenagers bickering, college drop-offs, and now grandchildren piling in. “This old Suburban’s been with us through it all… from the first kick of a baby’s foot against the seat to the last kick of a teenager out the door,” she reflects. The final scene – the tailgate down, pie passed around, family silhouetted against the ... Continue Reading »

Kazakhstan Angrily Calls On Ukraine To Stop Black Sea Oil Terminal Attacks Kazakhstan is angrily denouncing and protesting the "deliberate attack" on critical energy transport infrastructure of the international Caspian Pipeline Consortium in the waters of Russia's port city of Novorossiysk, after on Saturday a naval drone sent by Ukraine severely damaged one of its three loading points. Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry said on Sunday, "We emphasize that the Caspian Pipeline Consortium plays an important role in supporting the stability of the global energy system." It added: "We view what has occurred as an action harming the bilateral relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Ukraine, and we expect the Ukrainian side to take effective measures to prevent similar incidents in the future." Via Reuters This marks a rare moment that the former Soviet satellite state in central Asia is directly calling out the Ukrainian government and military. A key section of Caspian Pipeline Consortium near Novorossiysk has as a result of the attack been taken offline until repair and restoration works are completed. The consortium's over 930-mile pipeline connects oil fields in western Kazakhstan and Russian offshore fields in the Caspian Sea to a marine ... Continue Reading »

Rubio, Witkoff Meet With Ukraine Negotiators In Miami To Discuss Plans To End War Three key Trump administration officials are meeting with Ukrainian negotiators in Miami, Florida this weekend in a push to broker an end to the war Russia began with its 2022 invasion, while setting the stage for talks between Washington and Moscow planned later this week. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner plan to meet with the Ukrainian delegation to discuss portions of a proposed peace deal. During talks in Geneva last Sunday, the sides reached agreements in principle on all but two issues: territory and security guarantees. A senior U.S. official said the White House wants to close the gaps on those last two issues on Sunday, saying: "The Ukrainians know what we expect from them." Meanwhile, the Ukrainian delegation lost its lead negotiator between Kyiv and Washington, according to an announcement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday. Zelenskyy said his chief of staff Andrii Yermak has resigned following a home search by anti-corruption investigators. Government investigators had uncovered that $100 million was embezzled from Ukraine’s energy sector via ... Continue Reading »

Race To The Bottom: White House Launches 'Media Offenders' Leaderboard Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, The Trump White House unveiled a scathing new website Friday, “Media Offenders,” complete with a “race to the bottom” leaderboard ranking outlets like The Washington Post as the worst for “false and misleading stories”—flagging everything from exaggerated Trump “sedition” claims to immigrant horror tales as “heinous” manipulations.

VW Aims To Cut Development Costs In Half With New "Made In China" Car Volkswagen says it can build an electric car entirely in China at roughly half the cost of producing one in Germany, helped by quicker development, lower labor expenses, easier battery sourcing and a more efficient supply chain, according to FT. After heavy investment in its new R&D base in Hefei, which includes more than 100 labs for software, hardware and powertrain testing, the company says it can now validate software, hardware and full vehicles at the same time. According to VW’s China technology chief Thomas Ulbrich, the facility gives engineering teams “an entirely new level of integration,” allowing them to shorten decision cycles and speed up innovation. VW says the development timeline for new Chinese EVs is about 30 per cent shorter than the traditional 50-month process. FT writes that the carmaker intends to introduce around 30 EV models in China over the next five years as it tries to regain momentum in the world’s largest auto market, where competition from domestic EV makers has eroded its earlier dominance. Although the strategy began as “in China, for China,” executives ... Continue Reading »

Ron Paul's 'Real' Ukraine Peace Plan Authored by Ron Paul, Last week’s surprise release of a draft Ukraine war peace plan has raised hopes that the nearly three-year bloody conflict may finally come to an end. Ukraine has suffered horrible losses that may change the demographics of that country for decades to come. If this peace plan can be negotiated in a way that satisfies all sides and the guns finally go silent, I will be the first to cheer. However, the continued failure to understand the nature and origin of the current conflict leaves me skeptical that a real peace can be reached this way. From the Orange Revolution in the early 2000s to the Maidan revolution in 2014, the US and its NATO partners have been interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs in attempt to manipulate the country into a hostile position toward its much larger and more powerful neighbor, Russia. We must remember how directly coordinated the 2014 coup was by the United States. US Senators, including John McCain and Lindsey Graham, were on the main square of a foreign capital demanding that the people overthrow their duly elected government. Victoria Nuland was ...

Hungary's Orban Seeks More 'Cheap' Russian Oil & Gas In Warm Meeting With Putin At a moment many European and NATO leaders are pushing back against Trump's peace plan for the Ukraine war, given it offers to cede large parts of the Donbass and Crimea to Russia, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is in Moscow on a warm and cordial visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The focus of their discussions centered on continuing supplies of Russian oil and gas, as well as efforts to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. Such meetings have been rare examples of an EU head of state flying to Moscow where's he's given a warm and very friendly welcome, despite the still raging war in Ukraine. AFP/Getty Images Orbán emphasized to Putin that Hungary accepts and is comfortable with the fact that Hungary’s energy security has long depended on Russian fuel. He said Budapest places significant value on the consistency and reliability of Russian deliveries. Just ahead of the trip Orbán announced on X, "This is why I am going to Russia today: to make sure Hungary’s energy supply remains secure and affordable this winter and in the year ahead." He ...

NATO's Potential "Anschluss" With Austria Would Be For Purely Narrative Reasons Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack, This would be nothing but “another (faux) victory over Putin” that could be spun as having made the populace’s reduced living standards worthwhile after they dropped due to the anti-Russian sanctions. Former Russian President and incumbent Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev published a piece at RT in late August about “NATO’s Anschluss” in which he warned about the consequences of Austria joining the bloc like some there want to do. This issue affects his country’s prestige since the USSR was one of the guarantors of Austrian neutrality. Any unilateral moves towards NATO membership in violation of Moscow’s veto would therefore provoke an international legal crisis. This would accelerate the breakdown of international law that’s been in progress for a while and bring the West closer towards fully revising the post-WWII order in Europe. Germany’s remilitarization plans from 2022 onward arguably made this a fait accompli but Austria’s moves towards NATO membership might finally provoke a long-awaited political crisis over this issue. Medvedev also proposed that international institutions in Vienna be relocated abroad to a ... Continue Reading »

The United States Of Delusion Authored by Buck Sexton via DailyReckoning.com, If I looked you in the eye and told you the Rocky Mountains don’t exist, you’d think I was crazy. But give me time, and I could make you believe it. I wouldn’t need threats or force. I wouldn’t really even need a good argument. All I’d need is steady, confident repetition. The kind that comes from the voices you already trust. Say, you lived out on the eastern plains of Colorado. The land is flat and the horizon looks empty. You’ve got a job, a family, responsibilities. You’re not driving hours west to confirm whether a mountain range is sitting there; it’s not like it’s urgent. So you don’t push back. You just absorb the disinformation. And soon enough, you’re not just accepting the idea, you’re defending it. Your identity becomes wrapped in the belief that the world is exactly as you were told it is. Any challenge to that belief feels like a personal attack. Then one afternoon, you drive a little farther than usual and there it is. The massive, immovable Rockies, exactly where they’ve always been And instead of asking, “Why was I misled?” you lash ...

No Mercy For Repeat Offenders As "Iryna's Law" Takes Effect In North Carolina The murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August 2025 drew national attention because of the random brutality caught on camera.  But beyond that, it brought into question the ongoing decline of America's prosecution and punishment policies, especially within Democrat controlled cities. The trend within progressive enclaves is to reduce prosecutions in order to reduce crime stats.  Far-left district attorneys and judges also have a habit of cutting deals with repeat offenders in order to keep the prison system from being "overwhelmed."   Often, they use the excuse that suspects require mental health services rather than long prison sentences. Violent assailants are set loose on the unsuspecting public over and over again.     The Iryna Zarutska murder suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., is a repeat offender with a history of 14 arrests including  armed robbery and assault.  He was released without bond months earlier.  The reason?  Brown was initially diagnosed with schizophrenia.  But doesn't this mean he should have been locked up for good instead of being released over and over again?   The notion of ...

Does AI Lead To Socialism? Authored by George Ford Smith via The Mises Institute, There’s an argument running through the commentariat that goes something like this: AI (artificial intelligence) has already rendered some jobs obsolete and will continue this trend until the human race is unemployed. Even now it surpasses the ability of most people to write an effective opinion essay because it can create logic-driven, elegant compositions in seconds. Since government schools turn out illiterates, people will depend on AI commentaries for intellectual expression. Combined with research functions that are allegedly dependent on flawed databases, leading users to accept falsehoods in areas such as medicine, government, and economic theory, it renders them easy prey for a program of complete statism, such as socialism. Why socialism? Because socialists promise to care for the downtrodden, which will be every person left alive when AI achieves full robustness. AI in the hands of a socialist government will feed and house them, and will, of course, see that it’s done equitably. This leaves libertarians and conservatives with the urgent need to stop AI in its tracks now, while they still can. The idea of AI overtaking ... Continue Reading »

Chaos In New York As Trained Activists Try To Block ICE Operations Multiple people were taken into custody by the NYPD during a protest in Chinatown Saturday afternoon after protesters gathered outside a parking garage at Centre Street and Howard Street where ICE agents were reportedly stationed in preparation for an immigration raid.  As with many of these incidents across the country in recent months, activists were somehow tipped off to the location of the ICE rally point. Chaos and violence ensued as protesters blocked government vehicles (which is illegal), obstructed roadways (also illegal), threw items into the road to create obstacles (very illegal) and damaged public and private property (about as far from legal protest as it gets).  The NYPD was called by residents reporting the blocked streets and was not there specifically to aid ICE.   The coordination of these groups is rather complex (not grassroots) and is handled by NGOs running call centers (rapid response hotlines).  These centers collect information from anonymous sources and then send out activists for on the ground verification.  Trained activists are then notified by phone or by text of an ICE location in their ...

Incidents Of Sexual Extortion For Money Targeting Youth Escalating: Financial Intelligence Agency Authored by Jennifer Cowan via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Sexual extortion of children for profit is on the rise, Canada’s financial intelligence agency says, and a large portion of such activities are tied to organized crime. A person types on a computer keyboard on May 13, 2025, in this photo illustration. Oleksii Pydsosonnii/The Epoch Times This form of online coercion consists of threats to share sexual images or videos of a victim unless they provide the offenders with money or additional pictures, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) says in a newly published operational alert. The federal agency released the alert this week as part of its efforts to combat the online sexual exploitation of children. “Online child sexual exploitation is a disturbing global crime targeting children that continues to rise year after year, not only in the number of confirmed reports showing child sexual abuse images, but also in the severity of the images and videos,” Fintrac said in a press release. “The motivation for sexually exploiting children varies, and while most perpetrators commit child sexual exploitation ...
