“As a Venezuelan American I got some sh*t to say…”

We’re guessing this guy (a Venezuelan American actor) is pretty happy at what happened. Listen as he passionately outlines what a shitshow his home country has become.

What a difference a day makes!

Here’s the narco boss promising the earth to President Trump in a groveling attempt to stop the inevitable.

Daring Extraction in Caracas

Last night, in a swift and decisive military operation, U.S. forces struck key targets in Caracas and extracted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from the presidential palace. Elite units, including Delta Force, conducted the raid amid explosions that lit up the night sky over military installations and the capital. Maduro, the long-entrenched leader accused of turning Venezuela into a narco-state, was detained and flown to U.S. custody, en route to New York to face long-standing federal charges.

Roots in the 2020 Indictment

This action builds on the 2020 indictment unsealed during Donald Trump’s first term, when the Justice Department charged Maduro with narco-terrorism, drug trafficking conspiracy, and corruption. Prosecutors alleged he led the Cartel de los Soles, flooding U.S. streets with cocaine while enriching himself and his inner circle. Pressure escalated under Trump’s second administration as demands mounted for his removal.

Article II Authority Invoked

President Trump invoked his Article II powers as Commander-in-Chief to authorize the operation without prior congressional approval, citing national security imperatives and the need to enforce U.S. indictments against a foreign leader harboring criminal enterprises. Supporters compare it to historical precedents like the 1989 Panama intervention, arguing it’s a legitimate executive prerogative to protect American interests from transnational threats.

Predictable International Outrage

As expected, fierce condemnation poured in from the American left and Maduro’s authoritarian allies abroad. Progressive voices decried it as unlawful aggression and imperialism, while Russia vowed retaliation, China protested economic interference, and Iran branded it terrorism—united in defending a regime that has long served their geopolitical interests against the West.

Relief for a Suffering Nation

For millions of Venezuelans, however, the news brings overwhelming relief after decades of socialist mismanagement, repression, hyperinflation, and starvation. Streets in exile communities erupted in celebration, with hope flickering for a return to stability. Over 25% of Venezuela’s population—more than 7.9 million people—has already fled persecution and collapse since 2014, scattering across Latin America and beyond in one of history’s largest displacement crises.

The Successor Question

With Maduro removed, attention turns to succession and transition. Under Venezuela’s constitution, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez would normally assume interim power, but her whereabouts remain unclear amid the chaos, and she has demanded proof of life for Maduro. U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have signaled no further military action is planned, emphasizing support for a democratic handover. Opposition leaders like María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, widely seen as the legitimate winners of the disputed 2024 election, are poised to play key roles in forming an interim government, backed by international recognition and U.S. aid to stabilize the nation.

A New Chapter Begins

With Maduro facing American justice, interim governance emerges amid U.S. support. This marks not invasion but accountability, ending a tyranny that devastated a once-prosperous nation and offering its people a chance to rebuild.
