Those of us close to geopolitical realities know the war in Ukraine didn’t happen in a vacuum. There are enormous financial interests tied to global energy markets, particularly LNG exports to Europe, which raises a simple question: who benefits?
When billions of dollars are changing hands andd entire industries stand to gain, it’s reasonable to ask whether the public is being told the whole story.
While Ukrainians and Russians continue to die, defense contractors, energy companies, and political insiders are making billions. Taxpayer money keeps flowing, the war keeps going, and the profits keep growing.
Did you know that Warren Buffett has invested in LNG-related businesses and shook @ZelenskyyUa hand right after? If not, look it up and draw your own conclusions.
Ordinary citizens are told to pay more, sacrifice more, and fund more. Meanwhile, the children of the political and corporate elite rarely seem to bear the same risks or make the same sacrifices.
As for @TuckerCarlson and @mcuban , their public exchanges have highlighted just how divided and politically driven this debate has become. Critics argue that many influential figures selectively champion principles when it suits their political agenda.
The real qestion isn’t whether someone supports Ukraine or Russia. The real question is: who is profiting from a war that has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and why are taxpayers expected to keep footing the bill?
@ConVzlaComando Mas de lo que ustedes se han burlado de la gente? De la gente que fue a la cárcel por ustedes? De la gente que aún está en la cárcel? De la gente que perdió la vida???
No imagino como no los atrapan en la calle…

Acabo de mostrar este video de @MariaCorinaYA a miembros del gabinete del Gob. de los Estados Unidos, muchos están de acuerdo que la poca credibilidad y seriedad de esta señora es un riesgo político enorme. Su entorno, repleto de los delincuentes del interinato que están siendo activamente investigados por malversación de fondos públicos, y su tono altanero está siendo visto como un desafío abierto a la administración Trump. Este video lo van a llevar a @realDonaldTrump HOY!
Palabras que escuché hoy “Nunca he visto a alguien que mienta a la cara de las personas que han sacrificado libertad y vida por el negocio electoral en Venezuela”.
Es triste en verdad!
And she is functional to Chavismo. With her in power, the worst criminals in the history of Venezuela will not only go unpunished but will also be rewarded, and in a couple of years they will return to power through elections.
🚨 The SAVE Act is fundamental for several obvious reasons.
https://t.co/0JuObXFwIC prevents non-citizens from voting.
https://t.co/U08eqjRUGS standardizes verification nationwide.
https://t.co/W3UiMQVWIt improves public confidence in elections. According to multiple 2025 polls, only about 60% of Americans, on average, said they were confident in the vote-counting process. That is a huge problem from a legitimacy standpoint.
https://t.co/p8PBB2K0xX protects election administration.
And yet, Congress is unable to pass it. We The People must take to the streets and demand that those politicians—who are supposed to be working in the best interests of the country—pass this critically important legislation.
Kudos to @ScottPresler, who is working day and night to protect our electoral system from future fraud. He’s the kind of person who should be in Congress making decisions, instead of those compromised politicians who only talk on @X.
Without the SAVE Act, our country is lost.

I couldn’t find any public comments, press releases, official social‑media posts, or statements from @RepMariaSalazar regarding abolishing or eliminating property taxes in Florida by @GovRonDeSantis — either in support of or against the state‑level proposals currently being discussed in Tallahassee.
Even though Salazar doesn’t vote on Florida state laws, a proposal to eliminate or reduce property taxes would directly affect many of her constituents in the 27th Congressional District by potentially lowering their home tax bills. You would expect AT LEAST a public statement, endorsement, or social‑media comment from her office explaining her stance.
Why haven’t there been any statements or endorsements from her? Maybe @LauraLoomer can answer that question.
The S&P 500 took more than five years to climb back to its level before the financial crisis. After falling about 57% between October 2007 and March 2009, the index did not return to its previous peak until around 2013.
Whoever wasn’t admitted to the College of Dental Medicine because alleged Epstein’s girlfriend Karyna Shuliaktook that spot through an “irregular process” should sue the fvck out of Columbia and CDM.
Ask a regular applicant how hard, demanding, and selective this process can be—and how much stress it puts on truly qualified candidates.
Preguntenle a @carlosvecchio de donde saco una casa que cuesta 1.6M, con que la pago? (se vendio en 1.1M en 2021...)
Vamos a dirigirnos al tesoro estadounidese con esta pregunta tambien.

Otro mas por aqui...
Les suena el nombre?
BamosVien!
Todo esto y mas se estara entregando al Tesoro Estadounidense. Ya es hora de que paguen.. No creen?
This is exactly why I’m dead against private political funding and lobbying. Politicians become vessels for their donors—shielding them from consequences, hijacking the decision-making process, and pushing private agendas under the false banner of “government of the people, by the people, for the people.
It’s sad and infuriating that our so-called leaders are exploiting the SAVE Act—legislation that is fundamental to protecting the integrity of our republic—as a bargaining chip to justify massive spending of our tax dollars on priorities that do not benefit the American people.
Instead of treating this law with the seriousness it deserves, they are using it as leverage to push through bloated spending packages, backroom deals, and political favors that have little to do with safeguarding our democracy or improving the lives of citizens here at home.
Americans are struggling with the cost of living, healthcare, housing, and education, yet our representatives seem more focused on political gamesmanship than accountability. A bill meant to protect the republic should not be held hostage to irresponsible spending or used as cover for waste. That’s not leadership—that’s a betrayal of public trust.
At a 7% interest rate on a 30-year mortgage, total payments approach twice the principal, meaning interest alone can equal the cost of the home itself. In other words, you pay for two houses, one for you and one for the bank.
Every single politician in office should be subject to random drug testing for cocaine and other illegal substances. If they test positive, they should be immediately removed from their duties. You would be shocked by how many people are running this country and its institutions while under the influence.
We simply cannot afford to have members of our government on drugs while we are at war with cartels and drug trafficking.
Socialism cannot be dismantled by politicians who believe in it.
Any leader who flirts with socialist ideas is not an alternative to chavismo—they are its insurance policy.
If @realDonaldTrump were to endorse @MariaCorinaYA despite her socialist positions, it would be a strategic mistake.
A fake or controlled opposition in Venezuela would restore chavismo in days, not years.
Venezuela doesn’t need rebranded socialism. It needs a total rupture with the ideology that destroyed the country.
Thanks for the picture @salgadostocks
30–50 million barrls of Venezuelan oil is not symbolic — it is strategic volume enough to influence regional oil markets short term, and generate billions in liquidity
The Oil is described as “sanctioned” but still sold at market price, that implies that the U.S. would act as a custodian of Venezuelan assets something similar to frozen accounts, but applied to physical commodities…
IMPORTANT: ‼️
Funds would be controlled by the U.S. executive to prevent diversion by the chavista terrorist regime and… more importantly to BYPASS corrupt intermediaries and the so-called “opposition”.
God Bless 🇺🇸 and @realDonaldTrump
