Eyder Peralta, a correspondent for far-left NPR, shared in a recent interview that he is ‘surprised’ by what he saw during a recent visit to a post-Maduro Venezuela.

In January, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and brought to the United States.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Maduro was indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges of Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X at the time, “Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States.”

On Friday, Peralta shared his amazement following his recent trip to the country during a conversation with Steve Inskeep.

“It is absolutely surreal because you land at the airport, and the signs are in Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Chinese, which tells you just where this country was facing a few months ago,” he shared.

“And then you go out on the streets, and people here tell you that they feel like a weight has been lifted. For the first time in a long time, there are street protests. Opposition groups are holding public meetings.”

“I was at the Justice Department building yesterday, and there was a group of protesters calling for all political prisoners to be released. Venezuela has passed an amnesty law, but it excluded anyone who called for a foreign intervention.

“And I met Edward Ocariz there, and he’s a former political prisoner. He has faced the wrath of this government. But then, right there in public, he taunted the government, ‘They call us traitors, he said, but look at them now.'”

“‘Now, it’s them who are not only kneeling,’ he’s saying, ‘but sleeping with the United States.'”

Listen here.

While leftists consistently side with tyrants over the people who suffer under their brutality, following Maduro’s capture, Venezuelans both inside and outside their homeland erupted in celebration.

From South Florida to Chile to Madrid, Venezuelans and all from all around the world took to the streets to rejoice.

For the Second Time in a Week, NATO Forces Intercept Iranian Missile Entering Turkey Airspace

Iranian ballistic missiles are targeting everyone around them.

NATO is getting into the action.

As the military conflict between US-Israel and Iran progresses in an ever-more-brutal way, the Islamic regime of the mullahs continues to strike everyone around it – friend or foe.

As much as the civilian leadership apologizes for the attacks on neighboring countries, nothing has really changed.

Now, even NATO member Turkey has started to get targeted.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization ‘stands ready’ to defend its members’ territory, it said, after Iranian ballistic missiles entered Turkish airspace.

Ankara said today (9) that it shot down a second missile in a week.

Euronews reported:

“NATO forces have intercepted an Iranian missile heading to Türkiye for the second time in less than a week, as US-Israeli strikes on Iran throw the wider Middle East into conflict.”

Both the Turkish Ministry of Defense and NATO spokesperson confirmed the incident.

The intercepted Iranian ballistic missile was reportedly headed toward Turkish airspace close to the Syrian border.

“According to NATO sources, there is as yet no indication Turkey is triggering formal proceedings within the alliance to initiate action against Iran.”

Watch: Erdogan criticizes Israel ‘pitting brother against brother’.

Bill Maher Slams Kamala Harris Over Comments Against Iran Strikes: ‘Who Knows More About What the American People Don’t Want?”

Bill Maher  – Screencap of Twitter/X video.

During his opening monologue on Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher slammed Kamala Harris for her stance on the current conflict in Iran.

The Gateway Pundit reported that the United States and Israel launched ‘Operation Epic Fury’ against Iran last weekend.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was eliminated in a joint military operation conducted by Israel and the United States. At least 40 other senior Iranian regime leaders were also killed in the strikes.

Harris can’t keep her stance straight on Iran straight.

In October 2024, when asked which foreign country she considers the be our greatest adversary, the failed presidential candidate Harris responded, “Well, there are different reasons we should, um, we should be thoughtful about each. Most recently, I think there’s an obvious one in mind, which is Iran.”

“I mean, look, Iran has American blood on their hands.”

On Sunday, Harris flip-flopped saying, “Donald Trump has dragged us into a war the American people don’t want.”

Following news of the strikes, Harris wrote on X, “Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.”

Maher slammed Harris, noting, “Kamala Harris made a statement. She said, ‘This is a war the American people don’t want.'”

“Who knows more about what the American people don’t want?”

“She’s right. Like 6 out of 10, the American people don’t want this war. Okay, it doesn’t mean they’re right. We’ll see. What’s bizarre is, Don, I’m one of the few people on your enemy’s list who is backing you on this, we’ll see.”

“And yet today, today, this is today, March 6th, at 8: 50 AM, he tweets about the war, ‘There will be no deal until we have unconditional surrender.'”

“Important statement to be put out.”

JUST IN: Arizona Senate President Confirms “the FBI Has the Records” After FBI Seizes Maricopa County Election Records in Criminal Probe

The FBI has reportedly expanded its investigation into election fraud in Maricopa County, Arizona, obtaining election records through a subpoena in the state’s largest county. 

This comes after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to Arizona last month, just weeks after the FBI executed a search warrant in Fulton County, investigating fraud in the 2020 election.

Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman at the time had teased a major breakthrough in Arizona’s elections, saying he’d been in contact with the Department of Homeland Security for the “last 72hrs,” adding, “Stay tuned America.”

Now, the FBI has quietly seized Maricopa County election data and voting records via a grand jury subpoena, according to Just the News.

The probe reportedly involves allegations from the 2024 election that Runbeck Election Services, the private company that provides ballot printing and mail-in ballot services in 31 states and 54% of the nation’s voters, allegedly commingled voted ballots with blank ballots in multiple states. US Rep. Abe Hamadeh previously alerted the Department of Justice to these findings and demanded an investigation.

This also comes after the 2020 and 2022 elections, during which hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots were counted without chain-of-custody documentation and with mismatched signatures.

Per Just the News:

The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.

...

Sources said the FBI is likely to execute searches and subpoenas in other states beyond Georgia and Arizona in coming weeks.

The bureau has been coy about the full extent of its probe, but the unsealed affidavit from its raid of Fulton County’s election center made clear the bureau is looking at possible violation of federal laws that require election administrators to follow state laws when sending out and counting ballots.

FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans told the court the bureau has "substantiated" some major irregularities in how votes were counted in Georgia's largest urban area in the aftermath of the 2020 election and is probing whether those failures were intentional efforts to violate federal election law.

Trump shared the report on Truth Social, commenting, "Great!!!"

Arizona State Senate President Warren Peterson further confirmed that the investigation is ongoing. "Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County. The FBI has the records. Any other report is fake news," he said on X.

This is a developing story.
