Imagine the Supreme Court stopping the count after polls close and ordering polls reopen for two hours ONLY in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Atlanta, and you sort of get the scope of what's currently happening in Brazil.

An excellent article by @vrk_rick Rick de la Torre, a senior (retired) CIA officer. I highly recommend reading it. "Cuba spent decades recruiting American spies. Now Washington is turning the tables on Havana." foxnews.com/opinion/cuba-spe…

There can be no reconciliation without justice first.
This little prayer card to Our Lady of Coromoto, patroness of Venezuela, was in my late father’s wallet for years. I pray today, now that María Corina Machado is back in her homeland, for peace, justice, and reconciliation in Venezuela. 🇺🇸🙏🇻🇪

They need to make their voices heard loud and clear in Miraflores. All those in the service of the Venezuelan government and military need to do the right thing and peacefully support the transition of power immediately.
. @realDonaldTrump must call the current unelected president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez and tell her to step down now and allow Venezuela to immediately hold elections. During an interim period, place the nation into a caretaker status (no more than 30 days) under a council of elders who exist and are ready to step into place to help transition the nation from a criminal cartel to a top economic superpower (overnight if the CIA stays out). The WH and State department are aware and have the ability to do this. We should get behind the duly elected president of Venezuela, @MariaCorinaYA . End this nightmare for the people of Venezuela and begin to set our nation (America) up for a long term economic and security boon for decades once Venezuela stabilizes…and it will with the right leader.

People need to know that @MariaCorinaYA return to Venezuela occurred because of the strong work @marcorubio and of folks like @MaElviraSalazar and @RepCarlos and @MarioDB. Remember that when you vote in a couple weeks.

Pathetic spin claiming @MariaCorinaYA return was some master-timed plan. Admin is purging lobbyists and advisors who led them astray: some tied to Cuba’s GAESA, Putin-aligned Serbia/Sprska operators, and Turkish/Chinese cash. The press exposures of these guys has forced the housecleaning; those who took regime/foreign money and illegally influenced the public may face DOJ. Next: fix the NABEP deal without the compromised players
Estados Unidos decidió el regreso de Maria Corina Machado después de varios meses donde creyeron conveniente que no volviese para evitar tensiones sociales. De hecho le dijeron a varios presidentes que no facilitasen su llegada y ahora han dado luz verde. Todo tiene su timing. Y hay que confiar en la agenda de los americanos.

This is what happens when you abandon the principals of free market capitalism and and expect the government to solve all your problems.

She won the Nobel. Rubio co-nominated her. She handed Trump the actual medal. Co-founded Súmate, won the primary with 90%+, and documented the 2024 fraud. “Nothing in 20 years” is pure cope.
🚨Trump y Rubio NO quieren a Maria Corina Machado🚨 MCM no merece el Premio Nobel De La Paz. Ella merece ganarse el Óscar🏆 Esa vieja no ha hecho nada en 20 años de politiquería.

Looking at the photos of the men and women in that room and knowing many of them, I’m very confident that Diaz-Canal will be betrayed by at least 3 of them when the time comes. The Cuban people will be free.
En la Zona de Defensa de Los Sitios comprobamos cómo, en tiempo de paz, las estructuras para tiempos de guerra consolidan la defensa y atienden con prioridad los temas sociales y económicos en las comunidades. Esa es la integralidad que necesitamos. #Cuba

22 U.S.C. § 612(a) prohibits acting as an unregistered foreign agent when registration is required. Section 618(a)(1) makes a willful violation criminal.
Si el fracaso en Caracas ha sido visible no se pueden imaginar lo que ha sido la convocatoria de @MariaCorinaYA en Zulia, el estado más importante electoralmente del país. Ahí estaban Vente Venezuela, Primero Justicia, Voluntad Popular y Un Nuevo Tiempo. En fin, esto es lo que hay.

¡Asere, qué bolá, mi ambia! Métele pa’ la calle a recuperar lo tuyo, pero en talla pacífica siempre, sin caer en la violencia. Tu familión y tus consortes regaos por el mundo entero estamos puestos pa’ ti. ¡No estás solo, mi herma!
“A aquellos que buscan crear un cambio positivo en Cuba – Este es el momento. La decepción de las promesas fallidas, la corrupción, y las vidas privilegiadas de unos pocos – Aprovecha esta oportunidad de crear el cambio que deseas a través de una asociación discreta con la CIA.”

DSA are pussies
The Democratic Socialists of America is not happy about my upcoming debate at UGA tonight. They say I am part of a "hate group with a history of bigotry." They are worried about too many people coming it seems.

Diosdado is desperate because he knows he’ll be handcuffs soon.
Wow. Diosdado Cabello directly targeted me in his latest livestream, questioning my competence as an analyst. I don’t accuse him of anything. But his documented record of corruption, human rights abuses, and drug-trafficking allegations already speaks for itself.

Chinas been doing this to the US for decades. If you’re in manufacturing or defense you need to have a plan to protect your IP.
What do Tesla and Coca-Cola have in common? The CCP has stolen critical intellectual property from both. I asked David Shedd to explain how. He’s the former acting director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and co-author of “The Great Heist: China’s Epic Campaign to Steal America’s Secrets.” In 2018, Elon Musk got a first-of-its-kind deal: Tesla could operate in China without a joint venture partner, something no other American automaker had. There was much fanfare about it all. But what Musk and others at Tesla didn’t know was that an engineer inside the company was preparing to secretly hand Tesla’s golden goose, its autopilot technology, to the CCP. That technology is “now currently found in…the BYD, EX Motors, and others.” “That's a billion-dollar heist.” Or again with Coca-Cola: “Why would China be interested in Coca-Cola?” “The Chinese weren't interested in the secret formula. They were interested in getting the chemistry behind the inside of the cans of Coca-Cola.” “Why?” “Because those cans have a formulation to prevent oxidation, while those cans sit on the grocery shelf or in your home, for the Coca-Cola acidity not to eat through the can.” “It's the lining now that is inside their ballistic missile fuel containers in order to protect against that oxidation.” Americans need to understand, says Shedd, that “every aspect of the Chinese economy supports the state…it is intended to both aggregate power to the state, but also to maintain the power of the state.”
