I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.
Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.
Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.
If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?
And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.
The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.
And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China)
Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it.
Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.
This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.
Boy were we wrong.
As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.
As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.
It is fine if we do it, due to proof of malicious involvement toward the US and the alternative being a full war.
It's called a “surgical strike.” It lasted under an hour and a half.
Lady, you really are crazy.
Its about more than fentanyl dear……
Mindless noise from a has been
It's the right thing to do!
I see that MTG has hired Liz Cheney as her “speech writer”. Who knew.
Go! Away!
Right, the second A in MAGA
Greene has really gone off the deep end. What’s that old saying about a woman scorned — guess Trump not supporting her for senate or governor got in her craw and now she is acting like a little kid throwing a tantrum. She is proving herself to be really pathetic.
“...why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels”?
What does she think those strikes against the boats are?
Or how about when Trump Directed the military to Target Foreign Drug Cartels back on Aug 8, 2025·
“President Trump has secretly signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels...”.

is ex-MAGA MAGGot
Margie...He’s not a foreign leader. He lost the election...
Two more days, and she’s gone.
Boy this lady has gone off the rails, was she bitching throughout Biden’s FOUR YEARS yeah I didnt think so..and does she think we are not going after Mexican cartels next, of course we are
That's my guess. Or she's being blackmailed. Or bribed.
Sure hope Brian Glenn reconsiders.
Overall it is not a bad statement. He does need to become familiar with Monroe and Franklin though.
Paging MTG, since the shoe fits..

Right... because the responsible path would have been to funnel billions, quietly and indefinitely, through Freedom House, Open Society, NED, RAND, RTI, and the rest. Buy the media. Subsidize the protesters. Pick a color scheme, slap a name like “Daisy Revolution” on it, and drag the process out for years. Eventually Maduro exits, his equally corrupt but pro-Western successor takes over, everyone involved declares victory, and two years later it’s still a Communist dictatorship. Just a familiar regime-change theater that congratulates itself for procedure while delivering the same nonexistent outcome.
Your “New World Order” is over. Keep crying.

People both on this forum and elsewhere cannot get it through their thick skulls: It is about strategic security in the Western Hemisphere.
The impact on the illegal drug activity is an excellent byproduct of this activity, but this is mainly about the influence of Communist China and Russia in this hemisphere.
