In Latin America, in China, in the Middle East, the outline of Donald Trump's plan of action is becoming clear. It is of a scale to take the breath away.
It’s obvious to me that during the four-year hiatus from the White House occasioned by a stolen election, President Trump gave thoughtful consideration to what had to be cleaned up domestically and internationally. It’s equally clear that he mapped out how he planned to do that, and despite media, congressional, and judicial intransigence, he plowed ahead. We are at a point now where the blueprint is obvious. It’s a continuing, ascending trajectory.
The Americas
Having hoisted Maduro out of Caracas to stand trial here for his crimes, the U.S. made it perfectly clear that Russian and Chinese security personnel and military equipment were no match for a determined U.S. military. As an impoverished, abandoned Maduro pines away in prison awaiting trial, Cuba is next on the list of places that need fumigation.
The U.S. has offered $100 million worth of humanitarian aid for Cubans who are starving in a country that, absent free oil from Venezuela, is in almost perpetual blackout. Raul Castro has rejected such aid because we insist that it be distributed through designated private charities rather than the Cuban government, which would use it to sustain itself.
This Thursday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited there with a message demanding that Cuba open up its economy and send Russian and Chinese listening posts packing. There are increasing riots in the streets, and on Friday, the communist party headquarters in Havana was set on fire. The day after Ratcliffe’s visit, the press reported that Raul Castro was likely to face U.S. criminal indictments.

There is much clean up to be done. The problem is that it will pop up somewhere else.
Raul would be wise to make a deal. Madero laughed at Trump after Trump offered him a deal. It is like refusing an offer from the ultimate Godfather!
That plus Trump doing what is necessary will likely sweep the globalists back into power in 26 and 28.
I wish the US Senate would help, but Democrats are in control.
Is John Thune a Dem?
On a side note, Ms. Feldman reports that Iran is dumping oil in the Strait.
Any word from the environmental scammers?
Has a cat got their tongues?
Their silence speaks volumes.
The definition of RINO.
From 2 weeks ago...
The definition of Deep State.
The letter after the name means bugger all anymore.
Yes. John Thune is a Dem.

Boy, aren’t you a bundle of cheer this morning. They are finished. They will rend their clothes and stomp their feet to no avail. There is no climate change, no plandemic, no threat to scare us into submission. I don’t expect to see them goose stepping down Main St anytime soon.
Communist party headquarters in Havana was set on fire.
True justice in action Cuban democrats seen getting on boats.
Excellent piece by Clarice.
Just a realistic take. In order to change the direction of the nation you have to win elections. .
The problem is that there is always a problem. Why bother?
Uh oh, tomorrow they’ll say this is him portraying himself as Jesus walking on water.
