China today urged Donald Trump to stay away from Venezuela's oil after the US said it would run the country following an operation to capture president Nicolas Maduro. Its call came as the captured Venezuelan leader was driven to a court in New York this morning after being indicted alongside his wife on charges of 'narco-terrorism'. The US president revealed American oil firms will 'go in and rebuild this system' as he signalled a plan to take control of huge and largely untapped reserves in Venezuela.

A theater professor in Tennessee is back on the job — and $500,000 richer — after being fired over a social media post in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Darren Michael, an associate professor of acting and directing at Austin Peay State University, was reinstated last month and the school will pay him half a million dollars as part of a settlement agreement related to his termination, local outlet WKRN News 2 reported Tuesday. The public university in Clarksville will also reimburse Michael for “therapeutic counseling services.”
It’s not shocking that some clown from Rolling Stone did this, but here we are. Seth Harp decided to doxx the commander of Delta Force following President Trump’s elite, justified, and totally legal raid that led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro on January 3. He beat his chest, saying what he did was legal, described the Maduro capture as a kidnapping, and made other moronic points only found in this publication that got successfully sued for defamation over their fake news piece about a gang rape at the University of Virginia.
Dan Bongino, former NYPD officer turned US Secret Service Agent, turned popular podcaster, turned FBI Deputy Director, has finally resurfaced after the announcement of his stunning exit from the FBI after less than one year on the job. His time as second in command at the helm of the FBI was anything but quiet:[snip] His first message was posted on “X” only a few hours ago:[snip] We are a movement guided by truth. The essence of conservative ideology is the preservation of eternal truths. We are not the “latest thing” group. We are not political cannibals…
It was a chaotic day for staffers inside the Arizona Supreme Court building, which had to be evacuated over a suspicious package that tested positive for explosives. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is on the scene, with assurances from authorities that the package will be safely dealt with, though details remain scarce (via 12News):[snip] This region of downtown Phoenix, located near 15th Avenue and Washington Street, is the site of several state government buildings.
Margaret Brennan is one of the most controversial and adversarial "journalists" working in media today. Earlier, we told you how she pushed Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the Venezuela raids, asking why we didn't arrest more of Maduro's comrades. Rubio shut her down in his usual brilliant fashion, of course. Earlier this year, Brennan was the journalist who blamed the Holocaust on free speech, showing both her disdain for the First Amendment that protects her job and her historical ignorance of what led to the rise of the Nazis in Germany (hint: the Weimar Republic's strict speech codes were a contributing factor).

A hammer-wielding maniac who smashed four windows at JD Vance's Cincinnati home has been arrested by the Secret Service after an overnight break-in. William DeFoor, 26, was charged early Monday morning with one count each of obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass and vandalism. Secret Service agents heard a loud noise at the home around midnight and spotted DeFoor running from the home, which is the secondary residence for Vance, his wife Usha and their three young children, who were out of town at the time.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed tenant advocate called to “seize private property” and blasted home ownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in a series of pro-communist social media posts.
Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, made the statements and urged her followers to elect more communists in several lecturing posts on her now-deleted X account that were unearthed by internet sleuths. “Seize private property!” she said on June 13, 2018. She later doubled down on that in a mini-manifesto on August 2019.
Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, who was sworn in on Saturday, is not the country’s legitimate leader, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. Rubio spoke with Rodriguez — the country’s vice president — after the US conducted a daring military operation to capture the former Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro. However, he suggested the US will not support her staying in power. He called for elections to determine the next leader of the beleaguered South American country.
President Trump and other top officials were caught watching the Venezuelan raid in real-time. Obama watching the bin Laden raid in the Situation Room was a similar moment and photo op. But someone was missing in the Trump photos: Vice President JD Vance. Where was he?[snip] Vance was kept away because the administration was becoming uneasy about having both men in the exact location, given the security conditions. It was a designated survivor scenario. Vance was involved with the raid:
SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service has stepped in to offer free broadband access across Venezuela until February 3, 2026, aiming to maintain vital connectivity for citizens amid unprecedented political chaos triggered by a US military strike that captured former President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The announcement, which was posted on X by Starlink, stated, “Starlink is providing free broadband service to the people of Venezuela through February 3, ensuring continued connectivity.” Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO, reposted the message with strong endorsement: “In support of the people of Venezuela.”

In one of his autopen’s last acts before Joe Biden left office was to pardon Capt. Mike Byrd, the DC officer who shot and killed January 6 protester Ashli Babbitt in cold blood during the protests on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021.
As TGP’s Brian Lupo noted, video evidence captured Byrd shooting an unarmed Babbitt without warning as she attempted to climb through a narrow window near a barricaded entryway to the Speaker of the House’s office area in the U.S. Capitol.
Following an investigation, Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing, although questions remain about the escalation to lethal force without attempts to subdue or detain Babbitt.
A Minnesota hotel operating under the Hilton Hotels brand canceled reservations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Department of Homeland Security agents earlier this month, a decision that led Hilton to cut ties with the independently owned location.
“The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this,” Hilton said in a statement Tuesday morning. “A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values. As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems.”
Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Mike Lee (R-UT) have balked at the billions of dollars included for refugee funding in one of the nine appropriations bills for fiscal year 2026.
The appropriations bill for the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) contains $5.69 billion in funding for refugee assistance services, which is three times higher than it was prior to President Joe Biden’s time in office.
Paul, the chair of the Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee, said, “The big spenders in Congress are back in DC, hoping to pass a bill that spends billions on refugee benefits despite widespread reports of fraud.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Monday an American takeover of Greenland would amount to the end of the NATO military alliance. Her comments came in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed call for the strategic, mineral-rich Arctic island to come under U.S. control in the aftermath of the weekend military operation in Venezuela.
The dead-of-night operation by U.S. forces in Caracas to capture leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife early Saturday left the world stunned, and heightened concerns in Denmark and Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of the Danish kingdom and thus part of NATO.

A lawsuit filed late last month took Chicago-based McDonald's to task over the McRib sandwich, calling its name a form of false advertising. (snip) The lawsuit said McDonald's has "cultivated a sense of anticipation around the McRib, leveraging its scarcity to drive sales across its many locations."
As CBS News has reported before, the notorious 520-calorie sandwich contains just five simple ingredients: seasoned boneless pork dipped in BBQ sauce, sliced onions, and dill pickles in a toasted homestyle bun.
There is some good news within this announcement as Justin Trudeau’s former Deputy Prime Minister to Canada is well known to both President Donald Trump and North American political followers for a decade.Chrystia Freeland was the former lead of the Canadian trade delegation when Trudeau realized he needed to try and offset the economic damage within the renegotiated NAFTA agreement known as the USMCA. Freeland was also the lead attack agent behind the debanking effort against Canadian truckers who opposed the vaccine mandate.
In addition to holding Ukraine roots, the ideology of Chrystia Freeland as a multinational globalist and promoter for the World Economic Forum’s ‘new world order’ is well documented.
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Beat,” Democratic strategist James Carville predicted Democrats will “have a massive win” in the November midterms.
Carville said, “He knows he is going to lose in November. He’s saying the Democrats are going — and of course, the Democrats are going to investigate you. Why wouldn’t they? It’s closing in on him. And what I’m fearful of, and I think everybody should be, today it’s Venezuela, I don’t know, now they’re talking about Greenland and Mexico, but who knows what they’ll do to try to save him and try to get between the Epstein scandal and Donald Trump, which is going to be hard to do.”
DHS says the person shot by an ICE agent has died.
In a statement to FOX 9, ICE says officers were conducting its operation when protesters began blocking officers.
"One of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism," the statement reads. "An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers."
The Senate confirmed journalist Sara Carter in a party-line vote Tuesday as the United States' new "drug czar," who will help with the administration's efforts to curb the fentanyl crisis in the country.
President Donald Trump nominated Carter, an investigative journalist who has covered the fentanyl crisis and border security, for the post last year. She will officially serve as the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Carter was confirmed in a 52-48 split. Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul voted against the confirmation.

The left-wing candidate in the Democratic primary for Michigan's open Senate seat, Abdul El-Sayed, compared a move to ban Sharia law in Oklahoma to the Trail of Tears.
"You can't understand a Sharia ban without understanding the Trail of Tears," El-Sayed told the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in October of 2022. "You cannot understand the challenges we face today without understanding white supremacy." El-Sayed, whose remarks have not been previously reported, was commenting on a 2010 Oklahoma ballot measure that prohibited judges from considering Islamic and international law in their rulings. He described the initiative as a part of the "history of racism" in Oklahoma
The Pentagon has ordered an investigation into whether the presence of women in 'tip of the spear' combat roles is damaging the military's ability to win wars. A leaked memo obtained by NPR reveals that defense bosses are launching a grueling six–month review of thousands of female soldiers and Marines currently serving in infantry, armor and artillery units. In a private online support group leaked exclusively to the Daily Mail, one service member raged against the double standard, writing: 'You mean your guys can't focus on the mission without trying to stick it in... not my problem.'
