SOCIALISM IS ALWAYS SUICIDE:  “Venezuela’s Suicide” — Democrat whipsaw from one policy priority to the next: In 2018, Leftists Decried “A Failed State” Under Chavez and Maduro.

IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY TO WATCH, REALLY:  Dems’ TDS Leaves Them Defending a Narco-State.

ANYWAY, IT’S NOT LIKE RUSSIA AND CHINA WANTED VENEZUELA FOR THEIR AREPAS RECIPE!  Massie gets credit for being “pro-American” while discarding the very principle that makes American prosperity possible: property rights. Venezuela didn’t “own its oil” in any meaningful moral sense once it signed contracts, accepted billions in U.S. capital, and then seized assets, equity, and cash flows by force. Multiple international tribunals ruled those acts unlawful expropriation. Pretending that didn’t happen isn’t restraint. It’s denial.

And for the Cancelled of X.

UNFORTUNATELY TO BE HANGED BY THE NECK TILL DEAD AFTER:  Venezuela’s Dictator Maduro Captured By Trump’s America, Will Be Tried In Court.

I’M SO OLD I CAN RECALL WHEN THE NYT AND WAPO WITHHOLDING REPORTING TROOP MOVEMENTS WASN’T SHOCKING BUT  STANDARD JOURNALISTIC ETHICS:  Two Papers Found Out About Trump’s Venezuela Raid Early. Here’s What They Did.

HE’S NOT WRONG:  Something Worth Defending.

FROM C. CHANCY:  The Words of the Night (Colors of Another Sky Book 1).

It’s 1618. Do you know where your historian is?

Retirement wasn’t supposed to have dragons….

Historian Jason Finn crossed the planet to escape the Black Dog of depression – and almost got there. Over the mountains of Korea, a monster out of nightmares tore his plane from the sky… and into another world.

Hunting down ravenous shapeshifting pirates, Night Magistrate Lee Cheong found survivors from elsewhere. Survivors who say pirates are not the only threat. Over twenty years ago Hanyang burned in dragon flames… and that monster still lives.

Now the young magistrate must lead demon-hunters on a desperate chase, aided by a bandit sharpshooter, a seafolk medic, a Heavenly cultivator on the run for her life… and a time-lost historian.

Jason’s willing to help, but he’s cursed, fighting to survive, and struggling to understand a land of magic and monsters. All the while doing his best to keep a teenage girl alive.

Upside? Jason’s definitely not depressed….

Like everything the socialists try to cram down our throats.

THE GUILTY SELF-IDENTIFY:  China, Russia, Iran Condemn Capture of Venezuela’s Maduro; Hezbollah Decries ‘American Arrogance’.

And that’s not counting South Africa who has flung itself on the floor throwing a fit and banging hands and feet with gusto while screaming for mommy UN to protect them. Like that old prostitute can protect anyone!

LET HIM HATE, SO LONG AS HE FEARS:  Maduro Arrives In Big Apple as Mayor Mamdani Fumes (Update: Perp Walk Video).

SO MANY OF THEM. TRULY, WE’VE BEEN BLESSED WITH BOUNTY:  The Nicolas Maduro Memes Are Already Here.

THE FLAK PROVES HE’S OVER THE TARGET:  If the Media Is Saying This About the YouTuber Who Exposed Somali Fraud in MN, Then He Nailed It.

WE KNEW THAT:  Reactions to the flawless Venezuela operation demonstrates that a lot of the “America First” talking points are just third-world anti-American propaganda in a skin suit.

And for the x-cancelled.

FLAWLESSLY, THAT’S HOW:  How the US Military Executed the Venezuela Attack.  For adversaries watching from Moscow, Beijing, or Tehran, this operation should be unsettling.

TERRIFYING:  “Fumbling towards bicameralism”.

WE NEED ALL OF THOSE WE CAN GET:  Eighth Circuit’s compelled speech decision on DEI is a win for First Amendment.

IN THE END, THE US IS THE ONLY GRANTOR OF INTERNATIONAL ORDER:  Since there’s a lot of screaming about the legality of black-bagging Nicolas Maduro going on, let’s talk about the game theory of international law. Before I do that, though, I’m going to acknowledge that the Trump administration’s legal posture doesn’t even implicate international law significantly. Their theory is that Maduro stole an election, is not the legitimate head of state of Venezuela, and is a criminal drug-cartel leader; universal jurisdiction applies.

Because all law — except natural law, and even then — depends on force to enforce it. And right now we seem to be the only ones who can project force. I hope we use it advisedly and for our interests. I’m sick and tired of the leftist notion that the US should only intervene militarily when it’s not in our best interests to.

AND FOR THE: X-iled.
