Maybe working on "client States" first? Is Trump blowing up "random" ships? Fishing boats? Who's drooling now? I voted for blowing up drug boats to smithereens and destroying narco cartels. When done with Venezuela move on to the next one.
p.s. USA, USA, USA!
DAVID MARCUS: Trump's aggression toward Venezuela a warning to Putin
Trump's Venezuela strategy targets Putin's allies, potentially creating leverage to end the Ukraine war through weakening Russia's client states.

In re: the Adam Schiff case - serious concerns
I was subpoenaed before the grand jury in the Adam Schiff case. That investigation is still open. When I showed up in Maryland, the DOJ made a very deliberate choice: pull me out of the grand jury room, question me privately, and tell me I would be called back later.
And here is the red flag.
They did not ask about a single detail of the evidence against Adam Schiff. Not one.
They were focused on the "investigators", not the crimes.
That is the strange behavior we are now seeing with Letitia James.
And here is the part that should worry everyone.
The three government officials who questioned me in Maryland have "nothing" to do with the Virginia team handling the Letitia James case. These are separate cases, separate evidence, separate jurisdictions, separate prosecutors.
Yet both cases show the same behavior:
Key witnesses kept out of the grand jury.
Zero interest in the evidence.
Intense interest in the people uncovering it.
That does not happen by coincidence.
That does not happen by accident.
That comes from "higher up".
So the real question is not why Sam Antar was never called.
The real question is:
Who at DOJ is orchestrating this pattern across two states and two investigations?
Because the evidence is solid.
The documents are unmovable.
And the only thing that does not add up is the DOJ’s behavior.
And that tells you exactly where the problem really is.

The Trump Administration’s New Foreign Aid Model Cuts Out The ‘NGO Industrial Complex’
The United States is overhauling how it distributes foreign aid to prioritize direct investment in partner nations and eliminate waste by bypassing the “NGO industrial complex,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Thursday.
Rubio unveiled the new policy during the signing of a $2.5 billion Health Cooperation Framework with Kenya. The United States will provide up to $1.6 billion over the next five years to support priority health programs, while Kenya will increase domestic health spending by $850 million to foster its long-term health self-reliance.
Rubio said the previous system funneled aid through foreign or U.S.-based NGOs that absorbed funding through overhead and administrative costs while limiting host-country control.
“We would go to a country and say we are going to help you with healthcare needs and then we would drive over to northern Virginia somewhere and find an NGO, one of these organizations, and give them all the money and tell them to go to this country and do their healthcare program for them,” Rubio said. “By the time it got down to it, the host country had very little influence … and only a percentage of the overall money ever actually reached the patients.”
Instead, Rubio made the case for working directly with partner countries, such as Kenya, to cut out what he describes as the “NGO industrial complex.”
“If we’re trying to help countries, help the country. Don’t help the NGO to go in and find a new line of business,” he said.
State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told The Daily Wire that foreign aid funding should “not pad the pockets of overpaid executives in the NGO industry.”
Top executives at health NGOs backed by American taxpayer dollars frequently have very high salaries. In 2024, the president of Research Triangle Institute earned over $1.4 million, and two of its vice presidents earned more than $850,000 each. At Johns Hopkins University’s Jhpiego Corporation, one executive earned over $1.08 million. Other top salaries included $598,348 at Management Sciences for Health, $545,290 at Family Health International, and $506,371 at Pact Inc.
In 2023, the president of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation earned $577,275, and the president of PATH earned $703,405.
“Ultimately, the best aid is the aid that ends because it’s worked to solve problems or build capacity of partner countries. Our partnership with Kenya is an example of this approach in action,” Pigott said.
The framework with Kenya will direct American funding to go towards programs focused on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, maternal and child health, polio eradication, disease surveillance, and infectious disease outbreak response and preparedness, according to the State Department.
While Kenya is the first, Rubio said he hopes to sign 50 such agreements with other countries during the signing.

Trump admin has rescued 62K migrant kids from sex trafficking, child labor, border czar Homan says
WASHINGTON — More than 62,000 migrant children have been rescued by the Trump administration and saved from evil conditions, including sex trafficking and forced labor after they crossed the border without parents under the Biden admin, border czar Tom Homan said.
“Over half a million children were smuggled into this country under Joe Biden,” Homan said on “Fox & Friends” Sunday.
“They lost track of 300,000. President Trump committed on day one that we will do everything we can to find every one of these children.”
“We know many of them are in sex trafficking. Many are in forced labor. Many are being abused,” Homan added. “I can’t discuss some of the mistreatment we found out about. President Trump again proved why he’s the greatest president in my lifetime. Over 62,000 children rescued.”
Homan said that the Biden administration had ignored the migrant kids and wasn’t “looking for” them.
The 62,000 children had been rescued between the start of the Trump administration and last Friday, according to Homan.
