As far as I can tell, the current status is: There are no U.S. civilian officials or conventional infantry units governing Venezuelan cities. There are no US troops of any kind on the ground in Venezuela. While not legitimately elected, the Maduro government officials retain the Venezuelan...

Trump Says "We're Going to Run Venezuela." I don't know that that means. Does anyone in this forum know what that means? Does Trump know what that means? If so, how do we know?

What $3,000 tax cuts exactly? Until you tell us exactly what tax cuts you are talking about, you're talking about nothing. Since you're not going to substantiate anything, why not say Trump is giving $10,000 tax cut to every working American. It makes Trump look even better. Also, if so many...

Trump Invades Venezuela, Kidnaps Head of State Epstein files distraction

That's true.

It's nonsense if the claim cannot be substantiated. As an employer, I have reasonable insight into how workers are taxed. Can you tell me what workers exactly will receive the $3,000? Or at least what type of worker? And whoever they are, what percentage of the workforce do they represent?

Again, projections that are meaningless until we see what actually develops. At present -- in the real world -- the US bankruptcy rate is soaring. That's not projected. That's a direct result of Trump's policies to date, which show no sign of changing as long as Trump remains in office. You can...

At present, how do the American People feel about Donald Trump? Grox response above. -------------------------------------- Gemini: Public opinion of Donald Trump at the start of 2026 reflects a significant decline from the relatively strong support he enjoyed at the beginning of his second...

The problem with projections is you have to wait to see if they turn out to be true. I'm not evaluating Trump's performance by what may happen in the future. I'm citing what actually happened to date. So are the American people and in the polls and in the special elections they say Trump and his...

Does the "great job" include: Record bankruptcies? Higher grocery prices? Committing dozens of murders in the Caribbean? Pricing millions of Americans out of their health insurance? Naming government properties and programs after himself? Covering up the Epstein files? Declining US Dollar...

Understood and agreed. I had not heard of any formal action being taken this session. Your post prompted me to look and I found: "In the most recent vote on December 11, 2025, 140 House Democrats voted against a motion to table (kill) Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution, effectively voting...

Unless he dies, is removed under the 24th Amendment, is impeached and convicted, or resigns.

With Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, Republican power would be greatly diminished there, but the madness would continue in the White House if Trump's health holds out that long.

Sadly, the midterms will not end the madness. It will likely put the Democrats in control of the US House and possibly the US Senate, but Trump will still be president. It falls immediately to the Cabinet to remove the madman from office under the 25th Amendment. Failing that, impeachment is...

US Bankruptcies Under Trump In 2025, U.S. bankruptcy filings surged to their highest levels since 2010, with total cases increasing by roughly 10% to 15% compared to the previous year (when Biden was in office, so, no, you cannot blame Biden for 2025 results). Corporate bankruptcies were...

Trump Plays With Boats in the Caribbean, China Encircles Taiwan Trump is playing a really stupid game with China here. One of the Venezuelan tankers he seized had oil going to China. China understands Trump's blockade sets the stage to potentially deny South and Central American resources to...

It's not that simple. You would do well to read up on the implications of the SCOTUS ruling.

US Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Bid to Deploy National Guard Troops in Illinois This should stop Trump's National Guard nonsense in all states. It's nice to see SCOTUS curb this abuse of power.

I was surprised by the number. I was thinking tariffs would have slowed the economy down by increasing prices. While the price increases are indeed evident, economic activity has not slowed. If you consider that number alone, the US economy is robust. One odd thing about this "robust" economy is...

What Happened to Trump's BRICS Threats? On Nov. 30, 2024 Trump made a threat and reiterated it with greater force on Jan. 30 2025. Trump's Nov. 30 Truth Social post was: "The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. We require...
