What oil, land, or assets did Venezuela steal from the US.
The US Navy should not enforce a economic blockade on 80% of Venezuela 's income, exporting petroleum products!
Will the US Navy clamp down on shadow tanker fleet that escapes sanctions & distributes Venezuelan oil?

MAGA wants to remove studies of colonialism from universities because it might complicate the Trump line that Venezuela is a colonial power that subjugated the United States, stealing our Oil, Land, and Other Assets.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

MT Secretary of State did as much as hand Montana voter rolls to ICE and IRS, via most corrupted, most purged, US DOJ this century.
Don’t worry about Montana’s Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen honoring her oath to protect your constitutional right to privacy, Montana.
It’s too late.
She already handed over your private election information to Pam Bondi’s incompetent DOJ.

Senate candidate Reilly Neill would never side with Trump's clumsy grab for a new trajectory with RU-right wing factions in Europe.
Here's our senior Senator saying something Viktor Orban might say.
Daines likes Trump who likes Putin.
Daines had only 21% approval in last MSU-Billings poll.

With any luck at all Steve Daines will be looking for a new job this time next year. Dishwashing or snow removal might teach him the benefits of a hard day's work without straining his intellectual capabilities too much.

Does anyone know if the "No 2024 Forensic Recount" posters are honest, real "USA voting citizens" paid or supported by Putin, or other obvious Musk lovers, and benefiters? FOTUS lies, cheats, steal, grifts and colludes with America's enemies. But we refuse to check the vote that got him there?
Does no Democrat think that FOTUS or any of his appointees would cheat? Oh! Only in elections they would never think of it? The Supreme Court gave Trump complete immunity before the election. That is how certain they were of Trump winning and that they could keep their lifestyles and money.

Anticipating buyout by S. Dakota utility Black Hills Corporation(BHC)
Jan 1, 2026 NWE would acquire 590 MW more Coalstrip generation. But transfer it to a subsidiary electricity wholesaler that the MT PSC COULD NOT REGULATE.
Sweet $$$ deal for BHC.
590 MW = about 3/4 of what NWE now sells.
