đTrump Captures Venezuelan Dictator Maduro in Flawless Legal Op
President Donald Trump ordered a large-scale military strike on Venezuela early on January 3, 2026, resulting in the successful capture of socialist dictator NicolĂĄs Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores by U.S. elite forces, including Delta Force. Explosions rocked Caracas as the operation unfolded, with Maduro and his wife extracted and flown out of the country to face long-standing U.S. indictment charges related to narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and weapons violations. Trump confirmed the action on Truth Social, describing it as a brilliant operation executed in conjunction with law enforcement to hold accountable the leader of the Cartel de los Soles responsible for flooding America with deadly drugs and violence. Venezuelans in exile erupted in joyous celebrations across cities like Doral, Florida, and Santiago, Chile, waving flags and declaring freedom from the oppressive regime that drove millions to flee economic collapse and tyranny. The operation drew comparisons to the 1990 capture of Manuel Noriega, affirming Americaâs resolve to confront narco-states in the Western Hemisphere without congressional approval under executive authority.

đJustice Department Scrutinizes Minnesota Voter Vouching Practices
The United States Department of Justice has taken decisive action to safeguard election integrity by demanding comprehensive voter registration records from Minnesota, focusing on the stateâs longstanding vouching system that permits registered voters to attest to the residency of others during same-day registration without standard proof of address. On January 2, 2026, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon formally notified Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon that the department views this practice as potentially inconsistent with federal requirements under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and the Civil Rights Act of 1960. The request encompasses all documentation related to same-day registrations, votes cast thereunder, and specifically those involving vouching by registered voters limited to eight individuals or unlimited by residential facility staff, covering elections over the past 22 months, including the 2024 cycles. This measure reflects a commitment to ensuring compliance with federal law and preventing any vulnerabilities that could undermine the security of American elections.

đSchumer Deafeningly Silent on Mamdani Pro-Islamist Antisemitism Policy Reversals
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, on his first day in office, revoked executive orders issued by predecessor Eric Adams, including Executive Order 61 that enhanced NYPD security for synagogues and the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism. Mamdani also lifted restrictions on boycotting Israel. These actions prompted sharp condemnation from Israelâs Foreign Ministry, which stated that Mamdani showed his true face by scrapping the IHRA definition and boycott limits. Israelâs Consul General in New York warned that the changes pose an immediate threat to Jewish community safety and could increase violent antisemitic attacks. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish elected official, has remained silent despite inquiries about whether he supports the revocations or their implications for Jewish New Yorkers, even as he has recently emphasized the need to forcefully rebuke antisemitism worldwide.

CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil, in a direct message to viewers ahead of his debut hosting the CBS Evening News, acknowledged that legacy media outlets have frequently missed key stories by prioritizing the views of advocates, academics, and elites over those of average Americans.

Addressing the Surge of Hatred in American Society
ââŚThe primary cause lies in our own willingness to embrace hatred and division, accepting it as justifiable and normal behavior. Disagreement is acceptable, and even passionate disagreement serves its purpose at timesâthat drives democratic and societal progress. But allowing it to evolve into hatred that encourages violence or murder or, worse yet, genocide, thatâs just succumbing to weakness that metastasizes into a harmful force we should actively resist.âŚâ

đĄJapan Strengthens South American Maritime Defenses Against Chinese Illegal Fishing
Japan has allocated 300 million yen, approximately $1.9 million, to provide surveillance drones, inflatable patrol boats, and drone footage analysis tools to Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, and other South American nations through the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. This assistance aims to enhance maritime patrol capabilities and identify illegal fishing vessels by determining their nationality, crew size, and routes. Chinaâs massive distant-water fishing fleet, the largest globally, frequently engages in illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing by deactivating GPS transponders while operating near the Galapagos Islands off Ecuador, along Peruâs coast, and in Atlantic waters near Argentina and Uruguay. These activities involve poaching in sovereign waters, potential intelligence gathering, seabed mapping, and gray-zone operations that threaten regional sovereignty, ecological balance, and maritime security. Japan seeks to bolster joint enforcement efforts among affected countries facing these persistent violations.

đ¨Far-Left Radicals Sabotage Critical F-35 Supply Chain Facility
In the early hours of January 1, 2026, far-left radicals executed a deliberate act of sabotage by breaking into Bruntons Aero Products, an aerospace manufacturer in Musselburgh, Scotland, where they smashed precision machinery and equipment essential for producing components integrated into electronic-warfare and survivability systems for the F-35 stealth fighter jet program.
