Maduro talks, the US acts.

Under the extreme pressure of the US authorities and military, Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro makes bombastic speeches every day, is trying to unite his broken ‘Bolivarian’ Republic and mobilize his military against what he expects is an imminent attack/invasion of the US forces besieging him.

On the US side, very little is being said, but a lot of activity can be seen.

Watch: Strike on alleged Venezuelan drug boat.

After an alleged Venezuelan drug boat was pulverized by an airstrike on September 1st, marines from the destroyer USS Jason Dunham boarded and seized a Venezuelan boat on Friday (12).

Described as fishing vessel, it was the object of an inspection related to suspected drug trafficking. No drugs were reportedly found, and the action has been condemned by Venezuela as an act of ‘piracy’ and a violation of sovereignty.

ABC News reported:

“The Venezuelan government accused U.S. personnel of boarding and occupying a civilian fishing boat on Friday, in the latest example of tensions as the U.S. carries out ‘counter narco-terror operations’ in the Caribbean.

A U.S. official told ABC News that Coast Guard personnel stationed aboard the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Jason Dunham searched the fishing boat for drugs following a tip but did not locate any contraband.

Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry office claimed Saturday that the U.S. Navy deployed ‘eighteen personnel with long-range weapons who boarded and occupied’ the Venezuelan fishing vessel in waters within Venezuela’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). ‘This operation lacks any strategic proportionality and constitutes a direct provocation through the illegal use of excessive military means’, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

A U.S. official with knowledge of the incident confirmed to ABC News that the Jason Dunham received information to board the Venezuelan small craft to see if it was carrying drugs.”

F-35s heading for Puerto Rico.

While that was going on, stealth F-35 fighter jets are en route to Puerto Rico, and were spotted over Florida.

The modern Jets will support the operations against the drug cartels.

Van Jones

During a segment on CNN, leftist Van Jones asked three Black voters who have supported President Trump in the past if they could do it over, would they vote for him again.

The responses were yeses across the board, with one noting emphatically, “1,000% absolutely yes!”

Jones: If you had to do it all over again, would you vote for Donald Trump again, yes or no?

Voter one: Yes, I would. Now, in the future, I am not a diehard Democrat or diehard Republican. If there were a Democratic candidate who was more aligned for me, then I would vote Democrat.

Jones: If you go back in time, would you vote for Donald Trump, yes or no?

Voter two: Yes.

Jones: I think I might know the answer on this.

Voter two: She said yes. It’s immediately yes.

Jones: If you had to draw over again, would you vote for Donald Trump, yes or no?

Voter three: 1,000% absolutely yes!

President Trump Absolutely TORCHES Spoiled U.S. Olympic Athlete Who Whined That It was “Hard” to Represent America Due to ICE Crackdowns

President Trump is livid over a handful of ungrateful U.S. Olympic athletes trashing the greatest nation in the world in front of a global audience and has responded accordingly.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, 27-year-old Hunter Hess, who is competing in freestyle halfpipe, whined to reporters that wearing the American flag “brings up mixed emotions” and is “a little hard” right now because of ICE going after illegals.

Hess added that he’s not the “biggest fan” of much that’s happening in the U.S.

“Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S. I just kind of want to do it for my friends and family, the people who supported me getting here,” Hess said.

His teammate Chris Lillis, a 27-year-old aerials specialist and gold medalist from the 2022 Beijing Olympics, told reporters he also feels “heartbroken” about ICE raids and protests.

He went on to add that he feels the country needs to “focus on respecting everybody’s rights and making sure that we’re treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect.”

The two’s comments were made during a press conference on Friday, just after the Games’ opening ceremony.

When Trump got wind of these remarks, he absolutely went off on Truth Social.

The president decided to focus his ire on Hess, whose comments were the most anti-American. He called Hess a “real loser” who “should have never tried out for the team.”

Trump added that it was “very hard to root for someone like this.”

“U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics,” Trump wrote.

“If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this,” he added.

MN Dem Candidate Shares’ ICE Fear’ Food Deliveries — Mom of Daughter Left Disabled by Illegal Hits Back

Minnesota Congressional candidate, Democrat Kaela Berg, perhaps inspired by Olympic fever, is certainly competing for woke-gold, and the mother of a young woman permanently disabled by an illegal was not impressed with Berg’s virtue signalling.

On Saturday, Berg shared a self-congratulatory video delivering food to people “scared to leave their homes because of ICE.”

“We just finished delivering groceries to folks too afraid to leave their homes because of this ICE occupation in our community,” she preened on camera.

“An amazing amount of people have put together their boxes of produce and meat as well as toilet paper and diapers for those that need it….to dry goods…even some treats to help our neighbors. And we will continued to do this as long as we need to.”

Berg’s self-aggrandizement fell flat for the mother of 22-year-old Colorado woman Carissa Aspnes. On March 28, 2025, Carissa was catastrophically injured in a hit-and-run crash on March 28, 2025. The suspect, an illegal who entered the U.S. during the Biden administration, allegedly crashed into her vehicle and fled the scene.

Carissa survived but suffered permanent, severe disabilities: she is wheelchair-bound, nonverbal, minimally conscious, unable to smile or laugh, and requires full-time care.

Carissa’s mother responded to Berg’s post, noting, “My daughter could use a meal since she can no longer go to the grocery store for herself after she got hit by an illegal alien that fled and left her for dead.”

“While you’re at it, you can stay and feed her a meal through her g-tube since she can no longer eat by mouth.”

Carissa’s mother shared the devastating details of the incident.

Watch:

Republican Colorado State Rep. Brandi Bradley introduced the “Carissa Amendment,” which would crack down on crimes committed against US citizens by illegal aliens, yet not a single Democrat voted for it.

Carissa’s family has a GoFundMe to help cover her extensive medical bills.
