I couldn’t have been prouder as an American as I watched Dan “Raizin” Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, outline in great detail the capture and extradition of Nicholas Madura. I get it that Democrats hate Donald Trump and suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, but it’s time these people stop nitpicking and finding fault when he does something so overwhelmingly beneficial to the American people, like reeling in a narcoterrorist animal like Madura.

Venezuelans celebrate freedom and call it National Liberation Day. This is why Americans get involved. This isn’t for the American people, it’s for the Venezuelians. If you try to make this about your hate for our President Donald J. Trump, like the Democrats are, then you are a royal POS.
I’m all for giving credit where credit is due, and the Democratic Party has made it easy-peasy to identify America-hating liberals. Just look at who elected a radical Muslim Socialist to run NYC, who’s supporting Antisemitism, who’s violently pro-Palestine, who’s in favor of open borders, who’s against blowing up narco traffickers, and who’s protesting the capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela. For this, we’re grateful to the Democratic Party.

It didn’t take long for the Democrats to go from “No Kings” to “leave that dictator alone.”
The Trump administration destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities in June and captured the narco-terrorist leader of Venezuela this month. Compare those two flawless military operations with Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Competent leadership is the key to success!

The POTUS ordered that we go into Venezuela and kidnap their brutal criminal dictator president and his wife, now will someone please return the favor!

Please, please, all you communist sympathizers, did you know there are a few countries that can accommodate you so you can live in communist comfort? Why are you not there? Please go.
Isn’t it amazing that the more successful President Trump’s policies become, the more crazed attacks on Trump by Democrats? As Trump’s drug interdiction efforts bear fruit, Democrats are going bonkers over the elimination of drug-running death merchants on the high seas. You can almost hear the wailing of Diana and Non-Logical Lady through the night.

Hey Lefty, you are the one pretending that we aren’t getting a tax cut. You are the one pretending that eggs, gas, heating oil, groceries, and even housing aren’t coming down in price. You are a fake.

To No Fact Jack — Trump cronies bought CBS, settled Trump’s bogus $16 million lawsuit regarding “60 Minutes” and installed 2 deeply conservative and highly unqualified people to “oversee editorial standards.” This meant pieces shedding light on Trump’s inhumane treatment of deportees would never be aired, hence the pulling of the piece on the abhorrent treatment of those people sent to an El Salvador prison. You MAGA are so easy to manipulate, it’s sad.

The real question about the US deposing Maduro is not how it works out for the Venezuelan people, but how big a house Maduro gets in Palm Beach.

Trump claimed Venezuela had “stolen” oil from the United States. That’s how he worms into the minds of the uneducated he “loves.” In 1976 (50 years ago), Venezuela nationalized privately-owned oil company infrastructure. America didn’t own those companies. The companies pumped oil bought from Venezuela to sell for big profits. While those companies might be owed compensation for their investment, America is owed nothing. Venezuela did not “steal” its own oil.
Having an America-hating Islamic Mayor of NYC is a slap in the face to everyone who was murdered on 9/11. And, taking the oath of office with a Quran should be illegal. Are people that blind as to what is happening to our beloved country? Wake up!

Hey Liberal Loons, before you lose your minds over the Maduro capture and so forth, read the Constitution, dummies, just so your political sound off doesn’t look stupid.
Lefty, I have news for you, you don’t know how Social Security increase is figured. Under Obama and Biden, the cost of living went up so much that S/S got a higher cost-of-living raise, and you say they took good care of you. They sure did take care of S/S plus everyone else with the increased prices that Trump is left with to try and get back to manageable. Informed, try again.
To the fool who said that I’m a liar in stating that Felony Don the Lying Con has over 30,000 verified lies, you are correct. He actually has over 31,000 verified lies now. A little thing called a Google search would prove it to you, but you’re obviously not smart enough to do that. TDS — Trump Devotion Syndrome is rotting your brain. Just one more head in the sand.

Wow! That was quite an inauguration for Mamdani in New York. He is really a good speaker. He doesn’t repeat himself and go off on tangents like we’re used to seeing in speeches from the White House. But then, he doesn’t have dementia. And he didn’t attack anybody as Trump does! And the crowd size! It looked bigger than Trump’s inauguration.
To the unnamed idiot in Sound Off crying about Hegseth violating the American War Crimes Act and International Law, for many years, we’ve been fighting the war on drugs by throwing money at it and investing in the drug-producing countries to no avail. Now we have an administration that is fighting fire with fire and getting results! We don’t answer to the UN or anybody else. We should throw the UN out of the country!

Venezuela has $17 trillion in oil reserves. If we sell it at just 25% if it’s value, we get $4 trillion! That’s enough to open 4 more new Somali daycare centers in Tim Walz’s Minnesota!

In 2001, Muslims attacked New York City by hijacking jets and flying them into the World Trade Center towers. In 2026, a Muslim took the oath of office for Mayor with his hand on a Quran. The question is: Will Zohran Mamdani do more or less damage than the terrorists in 2001 to New York City?
