Inflation is out of control—and there is what could only be described as gladiatorial battles to get the most basic supplies at the supermarkets. Energy shortages have led to rolling blackouts. Toilet paper is now a luxury item. Access to medicine has been a nightmare, with the country’s entire hospital system operating in deplorable conditions.

Truer words, my friend.

Has anyone else noticed the complete blackout on Venezuela from our so-called mainstream media? They do not want to bus to see the end result of Obama/Hillary’s plans for our country.

Our modern liberals will just explain this away as “This is how things work”.

Why doesn’t the public stage a mass revolt and just start shooting the fools in charge?

Oh, right..no 2nd Amendment rights there.
