Not the Onion. Trump is turning us into a rogue country.
'After the US abducted Maduro this week, Trump named [Vice President] Rodriguez as Venezuela’s interim president – and she was formally sworn in Monday – but he warned that she’ll pay a “very big price” if she refuses to do “what we want.”'

After Venezuela operation, Trump haunted by his pardon for Honduran drug trafficker
Two Latin American strongmen were charged with drug trafficking. One was captured as part of a military raid, the other is free thanks to a Trump pardon.

🚨🚨🚨 2025 finished in the top 10 for warmest year on record in the Contiguous U.S. (1895-present). For most of the areas from the Rocky Mountains westward, it was a top 5 warmest year. No areas had a historically cool year.

I was looking for a site to livestream the ball drop last night and found this. Commercial-free webcast from the Times Square Official Website—sounds perfect, right?
But I didn't catch the phrase "leading up to the ball drop".
So I missed it. That was all I wanted to see.
Hope it's not an omen.
