23+ min ago (413+ words) Former U.S. Rep. George Santos, a convicted felon, threw an exclusive Christmas party in Washington, D.C. In a Washington holiday tableau where politics blurred seamlessly into spectacle, the former congressman once again proved he understands the value of infamy. The guest list, as Santos teased online, would be particularly strict, a standard enforced by a bouncer who happened to be a former aide, Vish Burra, known for his own online bravado. Related: Donald Trump commutes fraudster George Santos's prison sentence Santos posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) earlier in the day in which he said, "If I don't see you, that means you didn't work hard enough."

26+ min ago (324+ words) The Trump administration's killings of scores of Venezuelans are provoking outrage across the Western Hemisphere. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently proclaimed, "We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists." President Trump and Hegseth are cashing a blank check for carnage that was written years earlier by President Barack Obama. In his 2017 farewell address, Obama boasted, "We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists." Drone strikes increased tenfold under Obama, helping fuel anti'U.S. backlashes in several nations. As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007, Sen. Barack Obama declared, "We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers."

Molly Olmstead, a senior writer for Slate, noted in a new report on Thursday that Lindell's efforts were "core to the movement to overturn a democratic election." Even though Lindell's efforts appeared comical at times, Olmstead warned that Lindell needs to be taken seriously.

27+ min ago (280+ words) Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked President Donald Trump if U.S. actions against Venezuela are more than just about drugs. On Thursday, the president answered questions from reporters in the Oval Office, where Doocy asked about oil. "Now that we've seized this tanker, is the campaign against Venezuela still just about drugs, or is it now also about oil?" he asked. "Well, it's about a lot of things," the president replied. "But one of the things it's about is the fact that they've allowed millions of people to come into our country from their prisons, from gangs, from drug dealers, and from mental institutions." Trump went on to dubiously claim that nearly 12,000 murders entered the U.S. and that "many of them are from Venezuela." He then reiterated his previous pledge about bombing Venezuela itself. "If you look at drug…...

Venezuela has accused the US government of "blatant theft" and "piracy," following Washington's seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker off the Latin American country's coast on 10 December. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry strongly condemned what it said was a "blatant theft and an act of international piracy, publicly announced by the President of the US, who confessed to the assault on an oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea." "Already in his 2024 campaign, [US President Donald Trump] openly stated that his objective has always been to keep Venezuelan oil without paying any consideration in return, making it clear that the policy of aggression against our country responds to a deliberate plan to plunder our energy wealth," the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry added. "The true reasons…...

On one side stands Tucker Carlson " arguing that America must not be dragged into foreign wars on behalf of foreign states " more specifically, Israel. On the other stands a cluster of hawks and Israel First Jewish religious nationalists among them Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Josh Hammer and Christian Zionists figures such as senators like Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz & Lindsey Graham who treat U.S. support for Israel as non-negotiable, or rather as a God-ordained right.
