So U.S. taxpayers will foot the bill for rebuilding Venezuela's oil infrastructure and Trump will control the money, but don't worry, you can trust him.
Trump: “Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50
MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me”

Same regime in charge, just with a new figurehead who they believe will allow America to control Venezuela's oil wealth, under threat that they will take out the new leader out if she doesn't allow it.
BRENNAN: The president's last envoy to Venezuela, Elliot Abrams, says US oil executives seem to be coming to Mar-a-Lago and whispering about how easy life would be if we just made a deal with the regime once Maduro is gone. Is that what happened here?
MARCO RUBIO: No.

Here is your opportunity Democrats, go all in on supporting the opposition leader.
Trump throws Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado under the bus, saying she’s “a very nice lady” but doesn’t have the support or respect in Venezuela to lead the country.

Well he didn't take out Maduro for humanitarian reasons, that's for damn sure. With Trump you know there is some corrupt scheme at work.

The Marty at the beginning of the movie is not the same Marty at the end. The Marty at the beginning won't take responsibility for anything. He is only finally beat Endo because he changed. He essentially blows up his deal, throws away his career and goes home and takes responsibility for his child.

Marty is on a character arc. He receives comeuppance for his behavior. He has to humiliate himself. He is kicked out of the tournament. His career is essentially over for the stunt he pulled in Japan. He returns home a changed man who takes responsibility for his child, which the old Marty denied.

In 2025, the US launched strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, al-Shabab in Somalia, ISIS in Syria, alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, plus Iran’s nuclear program. Now some into Nigeria.
All killed people and damaged things, but none appear to have achieved anything lasting.

It has been painfully obvious for *decades* that far-right wanted force US to listen to far-right speech while making other speech illegal, but our insanely stupid & short-sighted & hateful Elite joined them in pretending their anti-free-speech agenda was actually free-speech.

This list is correct.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

This list is correct.
If only people on the left would be mad about this as they were at Pete Buttigieg.
FOX: During the Biden administration, there was a push for greater passenger rights. They wanted to have airlines compensate people if there was a delay or cancelation. But that is something the Trump admin has said they don't want to do

Semien is a legend and future hall of famer. He has been on a steady decline offensively after 2023. He was moved off the leadoff spot in 2025. His defense is as good as ever. His contract is pricey.

Wow. Not sure how I feel about this one. An end of an era for the Rangers. The World Series team is almost fully gone.

I think it’s fine for Mamdani to have met with Trump and it’s funny that Trump has gaga eyes over Mamdani and also everybody who is going to the mat about Mamdani being based over this *and also* insisted that congressional Dems are cucks for not suicide bombing the Oval should, uh, reflect on that.

Just shows how disingenuous Republicans all are. They acted like the sky was falling in the run up to Mamdani's election. Now, their dear leader is latching on to Mamdani's popularity when he thinks it will help him.
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

Call it what it is. This is a reward to Putin for all of his illegal actions. Russia would get to keep the Ukrainian land they invaded and occupied by force, and receive amnesty.
