NEW: In dealing with the Trump admin, Columbia is paying a $21 million settlement to Jewish or Israeli staff for claims of harassment/discrimination.

Maduro will give WMD to Hezbollah, which will use it to attack the US. Or at the very least, it's possible, and we don't want the smoking gun proof to be in the form of a mushroom cloud over the US. Best to act now and eliminate the risk:

I can just feel my blood pressure rising reading a trump " truth "🤬🤬🤬
Never is good news always lies,and an administration by tweet just cheapens the office further.
Even his pardons are Bidens' fault.
Trump announces a pardon of Henry Cuellar: "I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight — Your nightmare is finally over!"

Pam Bondi claimed Trump saved "258 million lives" by stopping fentanyl.

Trump this Monday said: "300 million people died last year from drugs."

Now Kristi Noem says something similarly insane.

Total number of US overdose deaths for 2024: 70,000.

The bullshit propaganda that one "defends" a regime by opposing US war there is one of the most destructive warmongering lies:

If you oppose the invasion of Iraq, you support Saddam.
If you oppose war in Libya, you support Gaddafi, etc.
Oppose war in Syria = "pro-Assad."

Imagine believing that this new war in Venezuela has anything to do with the smuggling of drugs into the US.
December 1, 2025 at 2:30 PM
When Trump and Hegseth blow up boats near Venezuela and kill people with no due process or act of Congress, they're invoking the exact same War on Terror laws (which were never repealed) which Obama used to do the same, but in multiple countries.
The U.S. dropped an average of 3 bombs per hour last year
The U.S. dropped 26,171 bombs on seven countries in 2016, according to an analysis by the Council of Foreign Relations.

Alex Karp coyly refuses to say what Palantir's profiteering is in this war on Venezuela, but says how proud he is of it because it's stopping fentanyl.

At least the old-school Raytheon and Boeing types would let the DC politicians they owned lie this way. Karp does it himself.
