Caracas, Venezuela / Mar-a-Lago, Florida — January 3, 2026 — U.S. military aircraft struck Caracas in the early hours of the morning as a coordinated American strike force assaulted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s compound, culminating in the capture of Maduro and his wife and their removal from the country. The operation followed airstrikes reported around 2:00 a.m. local time (1:00 a.m. Eastern), marking the most dramatic escalation yet in the showdown between President Donald Trump and the Venezuelan regime.
President Trump confirmed the operation in a Truth Social post, stating that the United States had “successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela” and that Maduro and his wife had been captured and flown out of the country in an operation conducted alongside U.S. law enforcement. Trump announced that additional details would be released during an 11:00 a.m. news conference at Mar-a-Lago.
The strike came just one day after Maduro appeared in a dash-cam-style video saying he was open to a deal with President Trump and willing to cooperate on combating drug trafficking. That outreach followed days of intensified U.S. sanctions against Maduro’s government, which has been labeled a cartel-backed regime and designated a foreign terrorist organization by the United States.
In the days leading up to the operation, U.S. forces carried out dozens of strikes against drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Military movements in the region included the deployment of F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico, F-22 stealth fighters operating in the region, and B-1 bombers observed conducting flights over the Caribbean just hours before the assault.
Video and eyewitness accounts from the operation show dozens of U.S. Army helicopters entering Caracas, widely believed to belong to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment — the Night Stalkers — the elite aviation unit responsible for inserting Tier One forces into hostile territory. The ground assault is reported to have involved Delta Force operators, elements of the Ranger Regiment, and possibly SEAL Team Six.
From the American side, the mission appears to have been executed without U.S. casualties, with all aircraft and personnel successfully exiting Venezuelan airspace after securing their objective. The operation represents the culmination of a prolonged confrontation between President Trump and Nicolás Maduro — a confrontation that, as former Trump envoy Elliott Abrams previously stated, could only end one way.

NYC — January 3, 2026 — Demonstrators took to the streets this weekend following President Donald Trump’s arrest of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and his wife, prompting pointed questions from Fox News reporters during The Big Weekend Show about why Americans were protesting on behalf of a foreign dictator.
When asked for their reaction to Maduro’s arrest, one protester called it “a criminal act by U.S. imperialism,” insisting the United States had no right to detain the Venezuelan leader. Another directed a warning at President Trump, telling him, “You’re digging your own grave.”
Reporters observed signs reading “Free Maduro” and “Hands Off Venezuela,” while protesters chanted slogans including “No boots on the ground” and “No bombs in the sky.” The display drew sharp criticism from panelists, who questioned why Americans were publicly defending a figure long accused of narco-terrorism and election rigging.

Mar-a-Lago — January 3, 2026 — President Donald J. Trump ignited global headlines Friday after stating that the United States will assume temporary control of Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, pledging that U.S. oversight will remain in place until a stable transition of power can be completed.
“So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said during a press conference that immediately reverberated across international media. “We don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in and then have the same situation that we had for a long period of years.”
The president repeated the point for emphasis, underscoring that U.S. involvement is intended to prevent a repeat of Venezuela’s long-standing corruption and instability. “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said.

Describing the mission as "extremely complex" and executed with unprecedented precision, President Trump praised the U.S. military's professionalism and capability. "The team did an incredible job.

AUSTIN, Texas — December 28, 2025 — Alex Jones issued a fiery and unusually self-critical statement during his broadcast yesterday, apologizing to his audience for what he described as a failure to properly investigate Candace Owens sooner, while simultaneously launching a full-scale rebuttal of the claims she has promoted surrounding TPUSA, Charlie Kirk, and alleged assassination plots.
Jones said his concerns did not come from personal animosity but from what he called a responsibility to verify information before allowing it to spread unchecked. “I dropped the ball. I apologize,” Jones told listeners, explaining that he initially overlooked Owens’ claims due to other pressing matters, but later felt compelled to investigate them directly.
After reviewing the allegations in depth, Jones said he found them deeply flawed and unsupported. He specifically rejected claims involving mysterious flights, Fort Huachuca, and supposed high-level ...
CANTON, Ohio — December 20, 2025 — Body-camera footage has revealed a chilling near-execution attempt inside a Walmart loss-prevention room, where a convicted felon pulled a gun on a police officer’s head and pulled the trigger — only for the weapon to fail.
The incident occurred around 1:45 p.m. Thursday at a Walmart on Atlantic Boulevard NE. A Canton Police Department officer had responded to a shoplifting call involving 21-year-old Shane Newman and 23-year-old Katerina Jeffrey and escorted the suspects to the store’s loss-prevention office.
Once inside, the encounter took a terrifying turn. Newman suddenly raised a handgun, aimed it directly at the officer’s head, and attempted to fire. The gun malfunctioned, sparing the officer’s life.
In an act of extraordinary courage, a Walmart asset-protection associate immediately tackled Newman, preventing a second attempt. The officer then subdued Newman and placed him under arrest. Body-camera ...
