With the notable shift among Latino voters who supported Trump in 2024—drawn by mainstream media coverage of his promised tough stance on illegal immigration—now, as millions of Venezuelans worldwide, including immigrants in Miami and Nicaraguans, celebrate the sight of their despised dictator Maduro in handcuffs, this delivers a massive boost to Trump. It not only validates his hardline foreign policy but also strikes a blow against Iran's meddling influence in Latin America, weakening Tehran's key ally in the region and advancing U.S. interests.
There you go. Another reason why some Dems. are upset now.
The CCP is not happy about it either.
The Chinese foreign minister met with Maduro the afternoon before Maduro’s capture.
LOL!
RE: The Chinese foreign minister met with Maduro the afternoon before Maduro’s capture.
LOL!
Maduro: “I’m so relieved.”
Later.
Maduro: “I’ll get the door. Must be those Girl Scout cookie kids again. I’ll buy a few more boxes.”
Foreign policy is not that big an issue when voters can’t locate places on a map.
Wouldn’t doubt it. 😉

Probably assured Maduro, we’ve got your back. You’re safe with China’s backing.

Naturally
It leads, in a chain of events still unfolding, to NO MAIL IN voting, NO early voting, re-enrollment and creation of new voter rolls, for 2026.
Smartmatic is a Venezuelan company. Sydney Powell spoke years ago about it, and Dominion, and it’s role in Venezuelan elections and in the US Stolen Election in 2020.
"Uh... er... Candygram."
Before Maduro in a plea bargain sings like a canary about how Smartmatic successfully rigged the 2020 U.S. election and tried to but failed (thanks to Elon’s efforts) to rig the 2024 one as well, we need to be very careful another Jack Ruby isn’t getting ready in the wings to shut him up.
There’s a hell of a lot at stake including disclosure of Maduro’s links to Democrat Party operatives in the U.S.
The left and the deep state will stop at nothing to protect itself like it did in 1963 with Lee Harvey Oswald.
I almost forgot about that
This.
Maduro knows Venezuela’s role in rigging elections worldwide. Will he sing like a bird?
I haven’t heard the name Sydney Powell since the “release the Kraken” quote back in 2021. Where has she been?
DISAGREE
All politics are local.
Review the 2024 electoral map.
Trump WON 90 per cent of the counties, yet it barely translated to a house majority.
Why?
The Republican wing of the uniparty ran candidates who were mice and TOO TIMID to double down on the issues Trump won on like perverts pretending to be women.
How many house candidates smoked Dems out and got them to go on the record of defining a woman or whether they supported having their daughters and granddaughters competing against biological males and having to dress and undress in the same locker room as these perverts?
That issue HITS HOME with a lot more independent voters than foreign policy.
Trump kept running and running that commercial of Kamala is for they/them, Trump is for you.
That commercial may not have won the electoral college for Trump but I suspect it did cause him to win the popular majority.
“It’s FREE!!”
As a matter of culture, Hispanic voters tend to respect strength and accomplishment, which helps draw them to Trump and the GOP. In addition, Trump’s skilled and almost bloodless takedown of Maduro’s regime gives the national elements of the Hispanic diaspora reason to hope for US interventions in their homelands.
25% of Venezuela’s population is living outside the country.
I’m still undecided on this operation to grab Maduro, but this fact alone tells you something was very wrong with the country.
I believe President Trump is extracting USA from European and Asian squabbles to focus on North and South America.
Somehow, many South and Central American countries voted in conservative gubmints
The CCP may want to extract resources and food from Brazil, Venezuala, Argentia, and Peru.
They will have to fight their way into the Gulf of America and Carribbean sea, load up, and fight their way back to China. Or, pay a fair price to Citizens of North and South America
