Many fireplace lovers assume burning wood for warmth is climate-friendly.

Trump hinting at “land action” in Venezuela isn’t about drugs. It’s what leaders do when pressure at home starts to crack. When a president feels cornered, they create a crisis somewhere else. If he opens a front, it won’t be strategy. It’ll be distraction.
