tRump claims control over the Western Hemisphere, articulated in admin’s 2025 National Security Strategy - Peace thru strength, human rights chopped in support of intl parties vs same, ignoring transnatl threats: terrorism, nuclear proliferatn, pandemics, new tech & climate change.
2026 begins with an increasingly autocratic United States rising on the global stage
The US attack on Venezuela highlights a shifting American foreign policy that dismisses a rules-based global order and focuses on economic interests and military might.

More than 90% of new world power capacity added in 2024 came from renewable energy sources & 2025 saw similar growth. BUT fossil fuel productn is also still expanding & US, world’s leading producer of both O&G, is now aggressively pressuring countries to keep buying & burning fossil fuels.
The battle over a global energy transition is on between petro-states and electro-states – here’s what to watch for in 2026
While wind and solar energy led in investments globally, liquefied natural gas is also booming. A former climate envoy for Germany explains what’s coming and the countries to watch.

Rhodes, sentenced to 18 yrs prison for Capitol conspiracy riot on Jan. 6, 2021. tRump commuted his sentence to time served. Rhodes plans to relaunch Oath Keepers, largely current & former military veterans & law enforcement officers. Oath incl conflict vs fed agencies & protesting election results.
The ‘sacred’ pledge that will power the relaunch of far-right militia Oath Keepers
Founder Stewart Rhodes says he will relaunch the group, serving as an important outlet for thousands of members who have felt lost since his imprisonment, a scholar writes.

Record # drop out for midterms - 43 in House, plus 10 senators. Rather than get swept away by a prospective “blue wave” favoring Democrats, many choose to avoid Republican crash. Many retiring members cite growing dysfunction in own party or Congress as a whole. tRump is highly unpopular in polls.
Who thinks Republicans will suffer in the 2026 midterms? Republican members of Congress
The president’s party almost always loses seats in the midterms. More than two dozen Republican House members have already decided to retire.

Unelected and unaccountable, yet wields huge amount of power - Stephen Miller, architect-in-chief for 2nd tRump admin, w so much power, he’s the “prime minister”.
No, tRump does NOT have the brains for all his actions! He's the maundering, vicious mouthpiece for his handlers, led by Miller.

Somehow I do not think that the Venezuelan Constitution considers kidnapping of their President a legitimate means of removing them from office, to have a replacement made.

It says that their vice president, Delcy Rodriguez becomes president.
She has already been sworn in.
