Where are the IMF and the World Bank as Trump gives Maduro the boot ?
I have no idea who will run Venezuela after its recent change of management.

The World Bank and the IMF should be very careful in dealing with the new regime in Venezuela (whoever is in charge).

What Mosquito doesn’t say is that a lot of the missing $200 million went into legal fees to prepare his dishonest testimony.
RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?
RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition
PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Mosquito forgets here one of the great Elmore Leonard’s rules of armed robbery : “Never count the take when you’re driving away from the job”.
SHAHEEN: It's been reported that the oil sold for $500 million and $300 million went to Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million?
RUBIO: It's still sitting in the account is my understanding
SHAHEEN: The account in Qatar?
RUBIO: Yes

Reading about Davos awakens my inner social democrat. A bunch of cosseted and blinkered elites engaging in pompous chit-chat is annoying enough. But at least once upon a time they mostly understood they do a little bit to help defend liberal democracy.

Greg Olson looks slightly better today; I see his mom bought him a shirt with a decent collar and his suit sort of fits in the shoulders. But why the black tie ?

I guess I need to say this since some people have lost their minds: I don’t care about baseball right now.
I am concerned about the safety of Venezuelan baseball players and their families—who are sheltering in place—after our country illegally bombed them to steal their oil.

There are a lot of MLB players and prospects from Venezuela. Been texting with people in several front offices and nobody knows how this is going to impact players and their families’ ability to get out. A total clusterfuck.

If this Hazelton person really has a PhD with a thesis on counter insurgency, that would go a long way in explaining why US foreign security policy is so famously unsuccessful. This shacks remark is on the same cluelessness level as Macfarlane offering a cake and Bible to the Iranians.
That's a prosperous looking home with that vehicle and all. How many Jamaicans can afford to put up panels? Do they have to own their homes to do so? Do their homes need to be very sturdy, not shacks?

Governor, I like you, I wish you had won, you'd be a good VP, but you are wrong about "this cruelty serves no one".
It serves Trump, it serves Vance, it serves the whole criminal pack of hyenas in the administration. They enjoy cruelty. It is who they are.

The $12 B EA-EFF from the Fund on 15 April showed up immediately in the 🇦🇷 CB & reserves jumped from ~$24 B to ~ $36 B
Can’t find Bessent’s $20 B as of 3 November in BCRA
Is the US disbursing it like a home equity line of credit ?
Or … ?
