A Quickie on Venezuela




I had to start today’s events with a massive eyeroll when a reporter asked President Trump if he had notified members of Congress about his attack in Venezuela. Obviously, letting Congress know about that operation would have been as bad as sending the attack plans to the Venezuelan government.  Trump knew better than to trust politicians who could not define a woman.  

The V-mission's astonishing success was due to the professionalism of the military and its secrecy, including the Pentagon's ban on reporters last year. From the success of this mission, it is evident that our military had excellent intelligence from local sources.  I also believe the logistics of coordinating so many air and naval assets became possible because the military had been given a new, serious focus on its mission, including the combing out of dissenters and sexually confused recruits from the military ranks. It created more uniformity. 

I wish I could have been in the meetings of the forces when they were informed of their upcoming mission.  

For the Tom Clancy (A Clear and Present Danger) readers, this may have been akin to when the Special Operations infantry learned of their mission to wage warfare on the drug dealers in Colombia.  As they were given their orders, the troops looked at each other with approval, realizing that they could finally do something about the drug dealers who were making so many lives miserable, including people they knew. 

This was a major blow to the drug trade in South America, which had its tentacles throughout societies.  Now, no profits mean no payouts to the civic leaders, gangs, and thugs who have controlled innocent people.  This gives Venezuela a chance to become a country that people want to live in. 

There’s more good news; for years, good people have fled the drug countries, whose absence then gave the bad actors more power and less resistance. It now looks like that is going to change.  Venezuela now has a chance to be a free nation.

The Venezuelan mission wisely included a transition team to manage the country until a local team is developed, which puts a pie in the face of the Biden administration for their disastrous pull-out from Afghanistan.  Already, the democrats are complaining about this move, possibly because of the politics; possibly because their medical supplies keep disappearing into the ocean. 

Over the next week, we will learn more about the activities in Venezuela that supported harmful causes.  

Have a wonderful weekend!

December 1, 2024 On Monday, an 18-story building in San Francisco will be formally dedicated as the “Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building.”  It was built in 2007 and has housed many federal offices for years. To note the new name on the building, it will have its signage changed, sort of getting a new facelift. Wow!  My last newsletter produced zero replies.  Usually, I have ten or more responses within a day from sending a newsletter out, but I received no response from what I thought was an important subject. Maybe it wasn’t a good message for Thanksgiving. Computers:  I have an Apple MacBook Pro, an excellent computer.  But with Apple’s new update, the dictation system is near perfect.  As you talk, it types what you said. It can miss a bit of punctuation and sometimes types gonna instead of going to, but is the best dictation system that I’ve used.  If you have trouble typing, you may wish to check these computers out; their MacBook Airs are just ...

  November 7, 2024 Let’s start off with a reader participation question:  What should be the first three official acts of the new Trump presidency?  You can add more if you wish!  Send your ideas to me. Battle Lines:   Whew, it didn’t take long.  Kamala’s speech was more of a challenge of Trump’s presidency than it was a concession speech.  Now, the ACLU is getting ready for Trump’s next presidency.  I received an email from them today that states the following: “…it's official: Donald Trump has been elected to a second term. “During Trump's first term, my fellow ACLU lawyers and I filed 434 legal actions challenging the Trump administration's catastrophic policies separating families at the border, denying immigrant minors access to abortion care, greenlighting discrimination against LGBTQ people, and more.” and “I know that I speak for every attorney here at the ACLU when I say that we're more than ready to show up and put up the fight of the ce...

  The Constitutionist February 1, 2025 Trump’s shock and awe presidency is invading many sectors of government that have enjoyed minimal accountability but now must open their records. There is one that stands out in my mind, BIGLY.  The highest ranking official in the Treasury Dept., David Lebryk, suddenly resigned this week when the DOGE team asked for access to the records of their disbursements.  This concerns spending trillions of dollars that have never been questioned.  Rumor is that some whistleblowers claimed that they had to approve checks without any accountability, thereby drawing attention to the funding of some very questionable groups; lots of money is involved; LOTS.  So, when the spotlight hit this funding mechanism, the cockroaches started to scatter. This event is not getting the press coverage that it deserves. Boom! I have noticed what some other writers have noticed; that Trump is the first president to actually get the investigations and ...
