If you haven't heard of Diosdado Cabello, Venezuela's detested interior minister who commands an army of motorcycle goons, and who has a $25 million reward on his head, second only to former dictator Nicolás Maduro, now's a good time to get a whiff of what he's about. He actually said this on Venezuelan state television, with his motorcycle goons all around him:[X post in Spanish] Grok translate: BREAKING NEWS | Diosdado Cabello: "The country is calm because the monopoly on arms in Venezuela is held by the State". "Holding the position of arms has allowed us the control so that...

Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Venezuela's government has begun to release Venezuelan and foreign political prisoners, less than a week after its former head, Nicolas Maduro, was seized in a U.S. military operation. It was unclear how many prisoners were released on Thursday, but among them was former National Assembly vice president and opposition leader Enrique Marquez. Henrique Capriles, a deputy of the National Assembly, posted a video of Marquez and Biagio Pilieri, a former deputy of the National Assembly, embracing loved ones in the street after being released from prison. "This is one more step toward justice and the future,"...

At what point will civil society pull the plug on a policy that systematically extracts its economic base? As of January 1, imports into the EU are now subject to the comprehensive CO2 certification regime. Brussels is closing existing gaps in its protectionist extraction scheme. At the same time, the European Commission has established another autonomous revenue source. For aficionados of the lean state and free markets, 2025 was already a disaster. And there is every reason to believe that further bitterness awaits in the coming months. The kickoff of the 2026 fiscal raid is now being led, once again,...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him.” John answered and said, “No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said that I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete.

The pattern is clear: foreign born, Neo-Marxist academics come to America, work at major universities, teach Neo-Marxist ideas to their students, and their children, inheriting their parents’ ideologies, enter politics. Pattern recognition -- the brain’s ability to perceive similarities and relationships between objects, numbers, and events -- is used in IQ tests as a way to help measure cognitive intelligence. Here’s a pattern to consider. Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor of New York City on the steps of an old, abandoned City Hall subway station early on New Year's Day. His father, Mahmood Mamdani FBA (Fellow of the...

Responding to the Trump administration’s announcement that the United States is withdrawing from 66 international organizations, conventions, and treaties, Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director of Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, said: “This is a vindictive and reckless assault on the legitimacy and integrity of the United Nations and the rules-based international order that has been the bedrock of global cooperation for the past 80 years. With this latest in a series of damaging attacks, President Trump is shamefully doubling down on his efforts to destroy the multilateral system that the United States helped to build from the ashes...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration says it’s going to depart 66 international organizations, nearly half them affiliated with the United Nations. Many focus on climate, labor, migration and other issues the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives. Here is a list of all the agencies that the U.S. is exiting, according to the White House:

President Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark fits into a long, little-known pattern in U.S. history. From quiet discussions after the Civil War to a $100 million offer in the wake of World War II, American leaders have repeatedly seen Greenland as a strategic prize. Here's a look: 1867–1868: Early US interest after the Alaska purchase After the U.S. bought Alaska from Russia, officials under Secretary of State William Seward discussed acquiring Greenland as part of a broader push into the Arctic. Seward noted the territory was rich in natural resources, including coal. But the idea never...

Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) said that in his last stretch in office he is considering clemency for Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk who was jailed over an unauthorized breach of voting systems when seeking to validate President Donald Trump’s claims of fraud in the 2020 election. Peters, 70, was convicted last year on state charges after participating in the 2021 breach and is serving a nine-year sentence in a Pueblo women’s prison. In an interview with CBS Colorado on Thursday, Polis told journalists he was weighing clemency and described the prison sentence handed to Peters as “harsh”...

The mysterious “flying Pentagon” was spotted in Los Angeles, igniting a flurry of social media speculation and conspiracy theories about serious trouble ahead. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was aboard the aircraft, commonly known as the “Doomsday Plane” when it touched down at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday night. Hegseth is currently traveling on his “Arsenal of Freedom” tour, which aims to spotlight the U.S. defense industrial base and boost military recruiting, the Department of Defense confirmed to the Post. Also aboard the plane was right-wing internet personality Laura Loomer. Posting on social media, Loomer said Hegseth called enlistees at...

Illinois leaders and lawmakers spoke out on Friday about the Trump administration's move to withhold billions of dollars in federal childcare funds for Illinois and four other states run by Democrats. The move will freeze nearly $2.4 billion for the Child Care Development Fund, and billions more in funding for other social service programs in Illinois, Minnesota, New York, California, and Colorado. However, on Friday, a federal judge in New York issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from freezing those funds for now. The order will last for 14 days, while the court considers a request for...

Indiana is an overwhelming early favorite against Miami in the national championship game. The No. 1 Hoosiers have opened as 7.5-point favorites at BetMGM against the No. 10 Hurricanes on Jan. 19 in Miami. Though Miami would appear to have a home-field advantage, Indiana fans took over Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the school's Peach Bowl win over Oregon in Atlanta and should be well-represented in South Florida. ---SNIP--- A victory for the Hoosiers would be a third straight national championship for the Big Ten.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration on Friday from cutting off more than $10 billion in social services and child care funding to five Democrat-led states over fraud concerns. New York District Judge Arun Subramanian, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, issued the 14-day temporary restraining order in response to a lawsuit filed by state attorneys general in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York – the states targeted by the Trump admin’s funding freeze. “This relief is preliminary in nature and is designed to protect the status quo while plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is...
