Maduro Has Ignored Reagan's Response to American Medical Students at Risk Due To Communist Takeover of Grenada

 

Maduro seems to have learned squat in his dispute with the U.S. as tankers laded with Venezuelan oil are being seized and the U.S. is sinking his narco ships
Instead of seeking asylum in Cuba with Venezuelan gold reserves, he is aping Hamas and holding Americans hostages as bargaining chips
Oblivious to the fact that when American medical students in Grenada were in danger after its new Communist leader had taken office and Cuban military forces on the island were landing
Reagan could not allow a Cuban military presence on the island with an expanding runway for Soviet bombers and war planes
With the Cold War still hanging over our heads, he could not from military action refrain
He did not ape Biden and complain to the Security Council at the United Nations
Which would cause a Soviet veto causing delay and frustration
And he moved without hesitation
In an all hands deck hurry
He ordered the military to launch Operation Fury
The medical students were saved and Grenada and Cuban forces defeated in 4 days
Maduro is thumbing his nose to Trump and thinking he will not act in the same way
He is making a big office ending mistake
An invasion to remove Maduro to protect American arrestees is a valid act for Trump to take
Maduro has refused to abide by election results, ignoring the Venezuelans’ will
His shipment of fentanyl and other deadly drugs our citizens kill
Arresting Americans on false charges is the last straw
Trump would be justified in removing this blatant outlaw

New Year's Day 2026

 

NEW YEAR’S DAY 2026

Old Man 2025 was slowly on his walker moving across the stage
The Babe 2026 was crawling as he entered to face the partisan rages|
Seeing the growing number of fingers of blame|
He was tempted to turn around and forfeit his 2026 reign
But the Babe knew time must march on
And that it was too early to rest in Forest Lawn
So he crawled forward with newfound resolve
To bridge the divide by ending partisan stands with compromise to problems solve
No longer could Blues shut down the government ignoring peoples’ need to try to get their way
And compromise killing disease of TDS Stage 4 they must learn to slay
And Trump’s over the top demeaning  rhetoric must come to an end
Both sides should add to Lincoln’s warning that “a house divided against itself cannot stand”
With “or achieve the prosperity and economic growth needed to solve many of the issues facing this land”
It will be a difficult undertaking but compared to overcoming the Great Depression, winning WWII or putting and returning men from the Moon, a piece of cake
A path our elected officials if they want to remain in office must without hesitation take

Lawyers Picked by Mondani Have Leftist Bent

 

If residents of the Big Apple had any hopes that Mayor-Elect Mondani had mollified his Socialist agenda those hopes came up short
As he appointed as NYC’s top attorney Ramzi Kassem, who defended al Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Darbi in court
Darbi had planned to blow up a French tanker off the Yemen coast but was foiled,
By actions by authorities who were able to have the plan spoiled
A civilian was killed  and most likely to avoid a death sentence Kassem must have negotiated a plea deal
Darby pled guilty to avoid being served his last meal
Released from U.S. custody to serve in Saudi Arabia his time
A warning but everyone in the U.S. is entitled to legal representation when charged with a crime
But he also was top advisor to Biden on immigration matters|
Which will mean continuation of sanctuary city status and policies designed to border security shatter
With California contemplating a wealth tax of 5 percent
And Texas and Florida bracing for an influx of wealthy taxpayers as their destinations were where most fleeing California went
The question will be raised as to which state loses the race|
Of wealthy taxpayers fleeing to a business and tax friendly place?

Long Term Baseball Contracts Are a Crap Shoot as Angels Spent $208 Million to Learn

 

When a sports team signs a player to a contract with a several year term
It’s a crap shoot he will perform at past years’ levels or above to  justify the salary he will earn|
He must avoid injuries that keep him off the field
And when on the field his stats and stellar record must yield
In 2019 Anthony Rendon who propelled the Washington Nationals to a World Series victory
Their first World Series win in the team’s history
The Angels signed him to a 7 year $245 million contract thinking MVP’s he would win|
Instead a string of injuries sending him to the sidelines would begin
In the first six years of his contract he played in  only 257 of 1,032 games
And when on the field his stats fell far below his 2019 fame
In 2025 because of hip surgery the entire season he missed
After 60 days on the injured reserved, he will no longer be on the Angel’s roster list
He will lose the $38 million if he were to in 2026 play
But given his injuries he must have put a good chunk of the $208 already paid put away

Minnesota AKA New Somalia Is Hot Bed of Fraud and Abuse

 

We seem to have 49 states with allegiance the Constitution
New Somalia leaning to Sharia Law with a large number of Somalis seeking its dilution
New Somalia has become the hot bed of fraud and abuse||
Where federal grants lack countability and are spent without controls fast and lose
Somalis here in New Somalia must feel stealing from the government is an Allah given right|
Exercisable every morning, noon and night
The feds now controlled by Reds|
Are on a crusade to fraud, abuse and inefficiency shed
So far the total under Walz’s tenure is near 18 billion bucks
After the fed dollars have been spent Walz is now an anti-fraud crusader seeking to fraud shuck
“Coach” Walz in 2024 lied about his service record, campaigning in combat gear
Like Harris he is a like a leopard who cannot change his spots
His credibility on fighting fraud and abuse is totally for naught
With Somalis able to vouch for the voting eligibly of 8 Somalis
And Omar the leading voice of Somalis doubtful that many Red elected officials we will see|
But if elected officials allowing fraud and abuse are tried and sent to prison cells
We will be amazed on how quickly fraud and abuse fell

30,000 Dead Tenants Receiving Federal Housing Aid Is 0nly the Tip of the Federal Federal Fraud and Abuse Iceberg

 

Watching Biden’s cognitive decline and the need for plenty of rest and sleep
It should have been clear that fraud and abuse in federal spending must have must have grown in great leaps
The Biden motto that trust from spending recipients was all the feds would need
Verification was a past standard that quickly went to seed
We now find from HUD’s annual report that 30,000 deceased tenants were receiving federal aid
Any idea of verification and accountability was a complete charade|
No wonder Musk was being attacked for fraud, abuse and lack of efficiency
Blues were ecstatic to maintain Biden status quo along with its checks and balances deficiencies|
The HUD report indicated in addition to deceased tenants, illegals were beneficiaries of federal aid housing dollars
From Blues only sounds of silence while the Reds with majorities try to fraud and abuse collar
Blues must be overjoyed that Trump is killing Narco-terrorists, tracking down criminal illegals and spending much time trying to bring peace to conflicts
Instead of focusing on the economy, hoping in 2026, Blues will a loss of Red majorities inflict

Finally One Issue Swalwell AgainstTrump Will Soon Be Gone As He Runs To Replace Termed Newsom

 

Finally we are rid of the likes of Eric Swalwell
And his false House anti-Trump bombshells
He is running in a crowded field to replace termed Governor Newsom in 2026
Running against billionaire Tom Steyer who wants to build a million houses to housing affordability fix
Not sure where the lumber, homebuilders and drywallers will be found
If Trump has his way to deport migrant homebuilders with needed skills will no longer abound
With raw materials like lumber and skilled workers mostly migrants necessary labor and non-migrants in short supply
Prices for new homes will be sky high
Steyer may with his cash distort economic reality
But Swalwell has no programs other than anti-Trump enmity|
No programs to help Californian in their prosperity and security advance
So it is quite clear in the Blue Primaries he has no chances

This has been a bad year for the Kansas Chiefs
After playing in Arrowhead for many years they are moving to the fans grief
For the first time since 2014 they will not be in the playoffs 
Their star tight end Kelce seems ready to on the roster take him off

But at least Head Coach Gibbs have giving no signs of not choosing to return
With a repaired Mahone and Kelce in the lineup he wants another Superbowl win to earn

Enough Is Enough As $400,000 Worth of Maine Lobster Bound For Cosco in the Midwest Is Stolen

 

Americans who have struggled with inflation which is seeing slow decreases
And tariffs that have defied the MSM’s rants they would lead to a recession due to expected price increases
And endured prices increases caused by shoplifting of over 123 $ billion a year
Now face the threat of $15-$31 billion dollars a year to add to their price increases to fear
The new form of theft is aimed at stealing in transit high value goods such as electronics, jewelry, copper, and food items with high worth
t’s called  cargo theft the latest theft made off with one of the more expensive meal items on Earth
Cosco in the Midwest was supposed to receive a shipment but $400,000 of Maine lobster never made it there
Already the price of a lobster is so high a lobster dinner most Americans  cannot bear Losses from theft will be covered by insurance
But cost of premiums will rise and food prices will advance
Not sure of the identity of the thieves or the chances they will be caught
Although it would violate our 8^th Amendment would be nice to tie them up and toss them into a pit of lobsters and there chances of thievery again would be naught

On KLM THE BED BUGS SOMETIMES DWELL AND JOIN THE PASSENGERS TO FLY WELL

 

The airline business is very competitive using mottos to their seats try to sell

Delta Airlines uses “No One Connects the World Better” and KLM’s is “Fly Well”

A family of 4 flew from Albuquerque on Delta to connect with KLM to Serbia fly

Looking forward to visiting relatives and enjoying their time in the sky

But two hours into the flight they became a bedbugs meal

Bitten in various parts of their bodies with KLM having no insecticides to with the bed bugs deal

The family landed in Amsterdam to board another KLM flight

To Serbia relieved beyond belief there were no further bed bug bites

May be time to add to the motto “On KLM The Bed Bugs Dwell”

Pack a small container of insecticides to the bed bugs bites quell

To no one’s surprise the family has sued Delta and KLM for 200 grand

Maybe in the future KLM douse the plane’s interior each time it lands

Japan's Hall of Fame Golfer Who Won 114 Golf Tournaments Dead from Colon Cancer At Age 78

 

Cancer  knows no national boundaries, sex or profession granting immunity

As one becomes a senior one cannot ignore colon tests and assume golf results in impunity

Jumbo Ozaki of Japan who won 114 tournaments, 94 of which were in Japan

To dominate completely golf in that land

Discovered to his dismay that colon cancer if not detected early

Leads to a fight where recovery chances  fare poorly

Colon cancer is like a golf hole with a very small green

Ringed by deep sand traps and water holes, where birdies or pars do not exist only quintuple bogeys or higher are seen

No matter how much practice on the driving range or putting green a golfer spends

His or her chance to putt or chip the ball into the hole will fail and his survival chances will come to an end

And so after a long fight with colon cancer failed

On 12/23/2025 colon cancer against Jumbo Osaki age 78 had prevailed

Where Has Celebration of Birth of Christ Gone? Buried By the Orgy of Christmas Season Shoppers

 

The three Wise Men, Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar, must be rolling in their graves

Their symbolic gifts to the newborn Jesus-, Gold (for kingship), Frankincense (for divinity), and Myrrh (for his sacrificial death) have morphed into 2 month buying season to retailers save

As shoppers engage in an orgy of buying Christmas gifts

More and more from Christianity and the teachings of Christ they drift

Any attempt by shoppers to celebrate the birth of Christ during the Christmas seasons

Is viewed by retailers looking for sales to put them in the black is pure treason

The air waves are crowded withs for all manner of toys, cars, jewelry, spirits and  Steyer pushing his gubernatorial campaign

Any mention of celebrating  the birth of Christ are not to seen and seemed to have been flushed down the drain

Charlie Kirk with TP USA was seeking to bring the youth back to Christ

A modern day John the Baptist causing more youth to accept Christ which was a voice the War on Christianity zealots wanted to silence so Tyler Robinson caused Charlie to suffer the ultimate sacrifice

A major mistake for Erica Kirk picked up the gauntlet to further energize TPUSA

Increasing the number of youth accepting Christ each and every day

FBI Reports Arrests For Violent Crimes Have Doubled From Biden Years

 

Trump campaign emphasized the need to close the border, inflation and violent crime

As 2026 nears he has closed the border, lowered inflation as he walks a tight rope of when the millions of dollars of foreign investment and trade deals come before 2026 election time

But when it comes to reducing violent crime

He has hit a home run as arrests for violent crime at a doubling climb

In our capital with the National Guard the streets are safer than they have been in a long time

Too many states have created “Sanctuary Cities” where illegal aliens commit criminal a even in daytime

Blue state governors have fought ICE tooth and nail and refused to allow the National Guard to assist local police

Now are emboldened by SCOTUS who ruled Trump could not deploy them without the governor’s consent so Trump’s efforts in that regard may cease

While the governors are protected by the police

Ordinary residents must be packing and hope they have acted in self-defense or rely on 911 as police numbers need to increase

Arrested 8 times in 2025 serial misdemeanor criminal spent no time in jail and celebrates near end of 2025 by vicious attack on 75 year old womaning blind in one eyed women on a

 

In Seattle in 2025, Fale Vaigalepa Pea was arrested 8 times

All for misdemeanor crimes

Referred to the City Attorney who handles non felony cases

He became the poster child for arrest and release which had become commonplace

This thug with proclivity for violent random attacks

Clearly had a mental system that is out of whack

He without warning hit 75 year old Jennette Marken with a board with a nail sticking out the other side who was waiting at a crosswalk

Then walked away as bystanders rushed to Marken’s aid, called 911 and pursued Pea instead of being frozen by shock

Pea was quickly arrested and charged with first degree assault with a weapon with the D.A.’s requesting 1 million $ bail

And an electric monitor if granted so his criminal activities before trial are curtailed

If convicted this thug must be confined to prison for a long time or confined as a person criminally insane

No longer can he be arrested, charged and released if his criminal acts are to be restrained

Such a sentence may see too harsh a sentence to Pea

But the sentencing judge must not forget Marken’s broken bones and a right o see

Instead of the teachings of Christ we are exposed to all manner of ads involving red cars for sleighs, Clydesdales, and Santas pushing gifts

Chicago Facing B/K if Mayor of Chicago Veto's City Council Act Not Containing Head Tax; SCOTUS Rules Against Trump on Sending National Guard W/O Pritzker's Approval

 In Chicago with its City Council that that has not a single Red Alderman

Is the “Windy City” is facing the bankruptcy winds of a $1.2 Billion deficit which Mayor Johnson wanted to solve with a $22-$33 monthly head tax plan

The City Council rightfully believed the tax on employers with a 100 or more employees

Would cause them to reduce number of workers or close their offices and from the city flee

Instead it passed a budget allowing video gaming machines at eateries and airports

And despite the howls of social media companies a monthly tax on platforms in excess 0f 100,000 which Zuckerberg and his cronies don’t support

Mayor Johnson has threatened to veto the City Council Act

If he succeeds Chicago is without a budget steaming on the bankruptcy track

Now facing a one two punch-- one fiscal and the other attacking safety on Chicago streets

SCOTUS ruled Trump cannot deploy National Guard troops without the consent of Governor of Illinois

Pritzker assuming he doesn’t die from cardiac arrest will run in 2028 with his anti-Trump creds oblivious to opposition to the safety of National Guard Chicago were able to enjoy

U.S. Tracking 3rd Maduro Tanker Transporting Illegal Oil

 

The ocean is fairly large but in terms of searching satellites can reduce it to the size of a pond

News are that the Coast Guard is actively searching for a third oil tanker illegally transporting Venezuelan oil that a defiant Maduro with has absconded

The chances of the third tanker escaping seizure are not great

Even if flying false flags, destroyers or armed helicopters on the horizon await

China is Venezuela’s number one customer for oil breaking UN sanctions

Looks like China will be in the market for another seller to accomplish its illegal transactions

The Northern Sea Route lies in International waters portions of which Russia claims as its territory

Maduro is powerless dictator but Russia another story

Seizing a Russian tanker or one flying a “false flag” could move us to a repeat to the Cuban Missile Crisis moving us closer to nuclear war than ever before

Another pressing reason why the Russian-Ukraine War come to an end

Which stands a clarion call to resurrect The Cold War trend

Massive Great White Shark dubbed Contender Migrating to Coast of Florida--Swimmers and Surfers Beware

 

Anyone living in Florida along the Atlantic coast may want to any thoughts of swimming defer

Until at 13.8 feet long and weighing an estimated 1,653 lbs., Contender‘, until we know that a diet of swimmers or surfers shark does nor prefer

A great white shark of Contender’s size

Is immense with an huge appetite makes going into the ocean somewhat unwise

Fortunately scientists have planted a tag to its movements track

If the scientists relay the tracking data one could avoid a Contender attack

But if the data is not relied or the tag falls off Contender disappears

Leaving the swimmer or surfer unaware where Contender will reappear

And if near Contender in search of a meal

Would be ripped apart without time to utter a squeal  

Shark attacks may be rare and smaller sharks may insure human targets may survive

But a bite by Contender’s huge teeth will mean a very slim chance to remain alive

With Contender swimming loose entry into the ocean seems an act of fools

If one needs to enter the water the wise person uses a pool.

Bondi Beach Jihadist Shootings Raise Question of Need of War on Radical Islam

 

At first the article about the shooting at Bondi Beach seemed to be in error

How could the “Land Down Under” be a site of antisemitic terror?

antisemitism reared its ugly head leaving at least 40 wounded and 16 Jewish celebrants dead  

From 10 year old Matilda Britvan who will waltz or dance no more

To 87 year old Alex Kleytman, a Holocaust survivor celebrating his remining years hearing the ocean waves roars

People of faith must be praying that antisemitism will be shed

As antisemitism has grown with passed hate laws instead

In the carnage of innocents a true  hero emerged

Attacked this fanatic jihadist who was hiding while reloading behind a tree                                                                                                                 he

Trying to prevent more harm from this age old scourge

Allowing many of the innocent targets to safely flee

The shooters were a 50 year old father and son team

Believed to be from a Jihadist group from the Philippines

The father was sent to Paradise by the police

Critically wounded son was induced into a coma to heal and enjoy his last moments of peace

Upon awaking the son will be charged with murders and violation of hate crimes which if convicted will serve a long period of time

Spending Christmas with Broken Arm a Pelican Ridge Is Not a Bad Place to Stay

 

Christmas at Pelican Ridge

There are many hospitals that claim to be in the top of any list

Where a patient goes for severe compound fractures, strokes, heart attacks and fatal diseases hard to resist

Hoag, Cedar-Sinai, UCLA, Stanford and Scripts

More often than not preventing an early placement in a crypt

If successful the patient is sent not home but to a rehab facility

To continue the healing process and restore a patients capabilities

Pelican Ridge is a medical facility providing rehabilitation and long term care

To the damaged mental and physical conditions repair

An excellent staff from the doctors, nurses, vocational, nurses’, janitors and to staff exceling in performance of their craft

But the band of those rehabilitators who teach patients how to walk, use their arms and hands achieving a recovery path take the cake

Safely urging and insuring a patient can learn again to stand and get out of bed

And any barriers to recovery shed

There should be a wall with the rehab personnel engraved—Aubree, Karen, Mo (out of bed and to rehab go); Ethan, Jesse, John

 (So hard to assist a patient to on the commode get on);

Ankini, Esther and Emilie

(When a patient does another rep her smile will make you feel silly)

Last but not least Brandon, Jessica, Sara  

(Who obtains more reps than taxes levied by the Irish kings at Tara)

Kesha Straker is the head nurse

(The glue that holds Pelican together and prevents recoveries from sliding back in reverse)

There is no better place to spend in recovery during the Holidays than at Pelican

Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men to at Pinecreek to the Christmas tranquility you seek

Army Navy attends to toss the coin and learn of Isis attack killing 2 U.S. U.S. soldiers

 

The Annual Army Navy Game was played today

Marred by the sad facts that are troops are still harm’s way

In Syria troops are on duty to insure that ISIS does not rear its jihadist head

3 soldiers were wounded and an interpreter and  2 soldiers are now dead.

Syria does not control ISIS which would call for killing all of Medusa’s heads

A difficult task but one that ISIS should dread

Trump has warned Isis of very serious retaliation against Isis if attacks reoccur  hopefully shall not sever

The growing U.S., Syrian relations aimed at anti-ISIS endeavors

Trump attended the Army Navy game to toss the coin and spent equal time with both sides

Navy won 17-16 in which the pass for both teams and rush seemed to have died
