I can’t stop laughing at all the Democrats hyperventilating about President Trump’s Venezuela operation. I wish I could be more nuanced about this (and perhaps describe the potential pitfalls that lie ahead now that we have taken some “ownership” over the future welfare of the Venezuelan people), but when Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries (the so-called Democrat “leaders” in Congress) are fuming mad that America’s Delta Force dropped into the most heavily fortified compound in Venezuela like invisible ninjas and plucked murderous thug Nicolás Maduro from his slumberous solitude in a matter of minutes, I can barely resist the urge to stand on top of a chair positioned atop my desk and applaud all the remarkable warriors who accomplished this mission.
Consider how many tens of thousands of Venezuelans Maduro and his murderous predecessor, Hugo Chávez, “disappeared” over the years. Now take a moment to appreciate that an elite posse of American warriors operating on land, in the air, and on the sea blew up a temple honoring Chávez (that included his remains) and “disappeared” Maduro for good. If that’s not warrior poetry, I don’t know what else is.
A friend of American Thinker who goes by the online handle “Full Strength” made two excellent points in a previous comment thread: “ONE: Almost every man involved in this operation could have died had the operation failed…TWO: Every participant was critical. In a well coordinated operation the failure of almost any single element of the attack jeopardizes the entire operation.” The enlightened “Full Strength” is entirely correct.
The more details that come out about the “snatch and grab” mission in Caracas, the more incredible the whole mission becomes. On-the-ground spies and naval and aerial surveillance were flawless. The combat pilots hiding behind mountains before springing the attack all had nerves

Blowing up the Chavez temple and the dead Chavez was a great touch to the mission.
Although we won’t know for a while yet if the end result is better for the US and/or the Venezuelan people, it was well worth taking the action to change the status quo which was definitely headed in a direction bad for the US with regards to who Venezuela was getting into bed with, Russia, China, Iran’s hezbollah.
Whelp.... MADuro did invite Trump down there to come and git him.... and git him he did.... friggin hilarious. FAFO
For those that listen to podcasts or thinking about it I’d recommend Bryan Dean Wright (The Wright Report) to start the news day cycle, fairly short and to the point and easy to listen too. Bryan worked for the CIA around the world and knows what he is talking about—and the op of grabbing Maduro was nothing less of magnificent. From everything to knocking out part of the power grid silently to a mock-up of the compound. The part that stood out was the probable Chicom reaction as they know they could never pull off something like this. We have never seen anything like this in our lifetime and either has the rest of the world.
FWIW, Cuba is next and you know something is being practiced as we type.

If we can’t beat some tinpot country like Venezuela with a whole battle group we should retreat to our own border. This is not what we voter for.
Trump is cleaning house.
Oh, I do hope they will not sleep at all.
In 2020, Schumer said: “Trump blew it when he had the chance to capture Maduro but didn’t.” Now he’s mad that he did capture him. Conclusion: Schumer has no moral compass, only an abiding hated of anything Trump does. The good news: Trump lives rent-free in Schumer’s head, 24/7.
One of Donald J. Trump’s greatest strengths as a negotiator is his sometimes sheer unpredictability. He will go over, under, around or right straight through the opponents’ arguments, and surprisingly, much of the time, he gets to just exactly the point he wants.
Talk about a self-actualizing individual, Trump has the amazing gift of looking like he was right all along, which must be very troubling to others of less nimble wit and mental capacity.
The Information Age has the power to expose such corruption and exploitation. The transparency it produces can exposed evil and evil-doers worldwide.
Trump has the intelligence, courage, and puissance to recognize and eradicate it wherever it is.
The weak and stupid, the betas, the intellectually and morally 10th-rate, the corrupt, and the evil will scream bloody murder! The wise will comprehend the necessity of sometimes painful therapy.
The theories of Karl Marx are an open invitation to the exploitation of the masses by a powerful, luxury-loving elite, who hoodwink them into believing they are their saviors; as in Hitler's nazi Germany, the evil, the exploiters, the dregs of humanity rise to power.
You cannot fix the stupidity of people who submit to their scams, and you cannot prevent con-artists from emerging from the depths of humanity's bowels to exploit the stupid, but you can put the kibosh on the scumbags as soon as they reveal themselves, though it's a never ending task requiring eternal vigilance.
Trump has shown the way. The benevolent and wise will go there. A Golden Age awaits them--and the reluctant rest.
Spare me the “Farm The Mailbox” and “Food in your GAS Tank” crowd’s incense at government intervention in markets.
I wonder how many “Behave or you may be next” notes went out over the past few days?
Yes! A modern day Sun Tsu.
You're right.
