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.
Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted that the remarks are “making headlines all over the world,” highlighting the unprecedented nature of a U.S. president openly stating that America will temporarily run a foreign nation of roughly 30 million people. Baier emphasized that while Trump said the transition plan is being worked on, many details remain unclear, raising immediate questions about scope, duration, and execution.
Drawing on his experience covering the early days of the Iraq War, Baier raised concerns about historical parallels, including fears of prolonged U.S. involvement and the risk of instability following regime collapse. He referenced the period under Viceroy Paul Bremer, when displaced Ba’athists later became insurgents, warning that Venezuela could present similar challenges if not handled carefully.
White House correspondent Jackie Heinrich added that the announcement is already stirring debate within Trump’s own America First base. While many supporters have justified the operation to capture Maduro, Heinrich noted that Trump initially framed the action as closer to an extradition—bringing Maduro to justice for alleged crimes—rather than a traditional regime-change war.
However, the unfolding press conference suggested that regime change is now a central component of what comes next. According to Heinrich, the president made clear that the United States intends to play an active role in shaping Venezuela’s post-Maduro future and that Trump “is not afraid of taking a strong role in showing up to that effort.”
The result, analysts say, is a coming political and strategic debate over how direct U.S. control of Venezuela aligns with America First principles. Trump, for his part, forcefully defended the approach, arguing that preventing chaos and ensuring accountability outweighs the risks of disengagement.
As global leaders and U.S. lawmakers react, Trump’s declaration marks one of the most assertive foreign policy statements of his presidency—signaling that the United States intends not only to remove hostile regimes, but to oversee what replaces them.

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.

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 ...
