What would you give for a little peace of mind?
What would you give to leave the past behind?
If it required nothing more than accepting it was so...
Would you give that little willingness?
Could you let it all go?
I have questions...
Since the US is "claiming" the oil resources...

How could this possibly mean anything other than Venezuela is now a US Territory?

Since they are a US Territory, we can't really deport Venezuelan nationals any longer, since they are now de facto US Citizens.
Immediately after the news broke that the U.S. military had invaded Venezuela and captured Maduro, the folks at Fox wanted to invade Mexico, Colombia and Cuba next! What happened to NO NEW WARS?

I am going to love it when I get to advise President Pritzker about how he can refuse to authorize national security briefings for any Republican Member of Congress and to tell them to cry to someone who cares to listen.
GOP Rep. Pat Harrigan: "There are members of Congress that they just cannot trust. And I understand that. We have folks that are Somali first and not America first."

Is there a singe Republican member of the House or Senate who has any idea of what's actually **IN** the Constitution?
Is there a single Republican member of Congress or the Senate willing to defend the US constitution?

Does our claim on the natural resources of Venezuela effectively make them a US Territory?

Does that mean they get to vote in the next round of Presidential primaries? Asking for 30million people.

The fact the man with his finger on the nuclear button is constantly being asked to take cognitive tests should concern every man, woman and child on planet Earth.

Something tells me that her life is never going to be the same after betraying her journalist ideals. She and those she cares about are going to be forced to live their lives in a protective bubble of security contractors fearing the day someone gets through.

No way to live...
"According to CBS News insiders, Weiss – who is currently planning to be on location for each broadcast of the CBS Evening News relaunch tour – has requested additional security for the telecasts, including heavily-armed guards."

Who does she think she is? 😆

Amazing to me how with ONE single stupid decision, she was able to prove herself to be the least trusted name in "news" to both the left and right....
FLASHBACK — BARI WEISS IN 2020: “Trump is dismantling moral guardrails that keep bigotry down… there’s a reason antisemites are drawn to his banner. It’s not a coincidence violence against Jews has gone up during his presidency.”

Now she runs CBS News(max) to help him.

As a citizen-journalist, I went to the Pentagon looking for the $900 billion of defense funding taken from US Tax Payers.

At midday, I found no actual servicemen - the doors were closed and the facility apparently unoccupied with only a couple police blocking the entrance taking selfies.

Well, there's a thought. But you don't need to go to HR, just submit a new W-4 with the exemptions increased.
This MAGA tax revolt is getting interesting. On the one hand I would say that it is probably unwise, on the other hand I’m not sure DOJ is prosecuting anyone anymore for this kind of stuff. You can always buy a pardon on the back end if you need to and have enough cash.

If you want to know which way our media leans, just compare the coverage of Trump's decline with Biden's...

Our media is fully under control of the political right and it STILL isn't extreme-right enough for them.
It’s crazy how so many in media stayed away from talking about Trump’s obvious mental and physical decline explicitly when some of us have been beating the drum about it for a few years relentlessly, but after a legacy outlet (WSJ) does a story now it’s suddenly ok to go there.
