Never apologize.

Santa Trump. Tariff checks announced as happening probably.

What would be funny, and absolutely classic Trump, is if he promises them as such, but then notes that if SCOTUS makes him refund them otherwise to break the profits from his trade policies, then it's their fault and he will have to reduce them.

That would be my expectation.

Among which are all of the sealed grand jury materials from Epstein's and Maxwell's criminal trials, which Trump's own DOJ asked the judges to release before the Epstein Transparency Act was signed by Trump. Those judges (Dems all) denied the DOJ request until after Trump signed it. If anyone is playing games with the Epstein files, it's not Trump. There are going to be a lot of very disappointed and confused Democrats on Dec 19th.

Terror plots and staying vigilant?

So word is he is doing this National Address to mostly brag about what a great job he did in Year 1? Zzzzzzzzzz…

The grand jury material is pretty much common knowledge at this point (it was so noted in one of the orders), and there was no way in hell a judge was going to rule in favor of DOJ prior to passage of the new law. The bulk of the stuff people want to see is "sitting on Bondi's desk." Blaming this on the dims when the overwhelming majority of the information is within control of the DOJ is just cope.

I like Trump but only "pep rally" happening this week for this kid is midnight Friday at Kyle Field.

This. Though if you can "pep rally" for our girls in the volleyball team, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

So to be clear, do you explain to your children the virtue in apologizing and then also explain why it's necessary for your tribal leaders to never exercise this virtue?

He just posted this:

Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.

The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace.

America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

To be clear.

I don't talk politics with my children period. Or I should say that I did not, as my children are grown adults now and have their own opinions anyway.

Not that it is any of your business. We don't talk politics in our family generally speaking anyway. I didn't need to brainwash my children, they can make up their own minds politically.

What dumb strawman attempt anyway to conflate the two.

I also don't have tribal leaders. Maybe that's your problem.

I'll tell you what I believe you can do with it what you want.

• 100% of politicians are corrupt without exception
• 100% of politicians are liars without exception
• 100% of politicians do what they need to to get re-elected and that is their ONLY goal
• government does not serve the people it serves itself

I taught my children morals and values by EXAMPLE. Not on the basis of politicians. media or talking heads.

Hope That Helps

Don't need military strikes to institute a naval blockade.

I'll have to check later, but I'm sure Sal at What's Going on with Shipping on YouTube will have something about this.

China gets a lot of oil from Venezuela.

Beats the heck out of watching addresses where we wondered if Biden was about to Zzzzzzzz

Today President Trump announced a total naval blockade of Venezuela for all oil tankers, coming or going. That is an act of war (involving China, Iran and Cuba) and tomorrow he is going to explain his decision. He already said that one condition is that Venezuela return all of the oil infrastructure that was stolen from American companies 20 years ago.

Give this man a peace prize! This is a pro peace president obviously

I like blockades. Should have done that in Iran decades ago, IMO.
