Correct me if I’m wrong, but the oil in Venezuela is not “light sweet” crude. It’s much thicker, and IIRC most US refineries aren’t setup for that.

Koch Industries do have some refineries that are setup for Venezuela crude oil.

This is Jesse Welles. If you’ve never heard of him, you really should check him out.

I think he’s the Bob Dylan of our times.

In Tom Clancy’s novel “Clear and Present Danger” the President conducts clandestine operations against a drug cartel. In order to hush this up, the President deliberately loses his reelection bid to cover up the scandal. These days, it’s Monday.
I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.

If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

"... ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Shelley is still relevant.

As people comb the Epstein files for some crime they can get Trump on I’m thinking about how he was found with boxes of stolen top secret files in his possession and somehow that ended up being impossible to prosecute.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Perhaps veterans should get an extra vote.

I know, all citizens should have the same rights, but have you noticed how some people are more equal than others?

CBS News is no more.

Subscribe to The Daily Beans. Ground News is also good.

There are many independent media news platforms out there. Those are the ones I use.

Also fond of Auntie Beeb.

Someone should tell Raytheon their radar systems can be easily jammed by spinning windmills rotating at a few rpm.
Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

CBS News is no longer a news organization. The new CBS editor in chief is MAGA.
“You have arrived in hell.”

That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants.

Human Rights Watch said
“Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence”

This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

All of the people in this photo descend from America's 2nd Vice President and 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson. Would JD consider these people white? If not, why not? They're all "heritage Americans" in that they descend from a founder, yes?

I’m wondering if the metadata of the heavily redacted files/images released by the DOJ contain useful info?
December 21, 2025 at 4:45 AM
Sixteen or so images/docs have been removed from the searchable online database of the Epstein Files. You can tell because of the break in the number sequence in the filenames.

Well done DOJ, you’ve just told us the files we really want to see from this part of the files you did bother to publish.

Looks like Space X has been buying a lot of DePloreans.

Doesn’t matter how many you buy of those Elon, you still won’t make a time machine to take you to Mars.

Not even if you take all the Ket.

The Bible tells us that prayer without deeds are empty.
A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.

It is the GUNS.

REMINDER: Trump has 12 DAYS left to release ALL the Epstein files--including hard drives of surveillance footage secretly recorded by Epstein at his houses. The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires Trump to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files by Dec 19.

So - FIFA have given a peace prize to the guy who’s about to wag the dog in Venezuela? I guess that’s the price of doing business.
