Trump Declares War Against Venezuela
Trump has announced that the U.S. is at war with the South American country of Venezuela so that the U.S. can steal its oil. When did Congress authorize that? It didn't. Trump has usurped the power of Congress to declare war, and last night labeled the independent nation, founded in 1811, a "foreign terrorist organization."

Trump, Johnson, and Thune’s Holiday Gift This Year to the Non Millionaire/Billionaire Class-Higher Health Insurance Rates
How is this following the teachings of Jesus and Christian Tenents? For all their talk about being good Christians, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, John Thune, and the vast majority of Legislative Republicans showed their hypocrisy again towards the non-millionaire and billionaire class of the American People by giving them the holiday gift of higher health insurance rates in 2026. Or perhaps their version of Christianity is one where they preach kindness and compassion to members of the Fortune 500, and everyone else who needs health care, food stamps, housing, utility, and education assistance can go to Hell.

When Rob Reiner was on CNN's Piers Morgan show in late September following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, he said: "I don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to solving problems...I'm Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus. I believe in doing unto others. I believe in forgiveness..."

Democrats are winning races they have no business winning under normal political conditions.
