We have an ugly history in South and Central America, serving tropical fruit companies (yes) and oil. “Banana Republic” is not so much a company as a US foreign policy of installing compliant “leaders” and calling it “democracy”.
Iran had a democratically elected pm who wanted to nationalise oil. CIA organised a coup & installed the Shah & his secret police. The people turned to islamic extremists.
Vietnam allied with USA to fight Japan. After the war the USA returned their country to French rule.

I went without insurance whenever I was between job jobs because I have a pre-existing condition. Cobra back in the 90s was like $900 a month. I never understood how they thought that was a good rate for someone that just lost their job.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Nothing about this is okay.
The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people.
So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?

Here's Trump giving more credence to the fear that Israel plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza and ship them to Somaliland, a self-declared country in the Horn of Africa that no UN member state recognizes – except for Israel.
