Irán acaba de ser nominado para presidir el Comité de la ONU para la protección de los derechos de las mujeres, los derechos humanos y la prevención del terrorismo.
SÍ, IRÁN. Y fue apoyado por el Reino Unido, España y Francia.
Esto no es broma. Es cruelmente real. Una tragicomedia.
Es ese régimen que asesinó en dos días a decenas de miles de sus ciudadanos que se manifestaron contra el régimen dictatorial teocrático.
La ONU es una basura como entidad y su secretario general un filo terrorista.
Análisis. El problema de María Corina hoy no es simplemente “volver o no volver”. Es mucho más profundo y sensible: Es asumir el rol histórico de refundar una república moderna y liberal
1.-Su misión es cómo pasar de ser el símbolo moral de la resistencia a convertirse en un actor político indispensable dentro de una transición política sin precedente.
2.-Los acontecimientos de las últimas 48 horas hacen esto especialmente evidente: mientras @MariaCorinaYA intenta regresar desde Panamá—su equipo habla de al menos siete intentos desde que salió del país—@realDonaldTrump se reunió en Nueva York con Delcy Rodríguez. Este contraste fue innecesario.
3.-La victimización no es buena. Puede convertirse en una trampa política.
4.-Dejar una impronta de contención con Trump puede resultar inconveniente y peligroso.
5.-La Casa Blanca presentó el acuerdo petrolero como parte de un esquema de estabilización, reconstrucción y eventual transición democrática, con una enorme apuesta de inversión privada en Venezuela. Esto importa y cuenta porque es el agente que controla la fase previa de liberación
6.-El encuentro Trump–Delcy del 22/09/26 confirma que ella se ha convertido, guste o no, en un interlocutor funcional para Washington. Por eso es un error interpretar la fotografía Trump–Delcy como: “Trump abandonó la democracia venezolana.”
7.-La lectura pragmática es otra:
Trump está negociando, controlando el régimen, exigiendo la ejecución de determinados acuerdos.
8.-María Corina debe plantear una estrategia [narrativa] de compatibilidad:
“Trump puede reconstruir Venezuela; nosotros podemos convertir esa reconstrucción en una democracia sostenible.”
9.-El dilema moral vs. el pragmático:
En lo moral se pregunta: ¿Quién tiene legitimidad? Lo pragmático agenda:
¿Quién puede hacer qué, con quién y cómo, considerando legitimidad de logro, cambio y transformación real
10.-La democracia no se construirá únicamente con los “buenos”. Se construirá administrando una realidad imperfecta. Eso no significa impunidad ni amnesia. Significa integración inteligente y plausibilidad de poder
11.-El regreso a Venezuela: el significado importa más que la fecha. Es un regreso para exigir elecciones y más. Es liderar un proceso restaurador histórico y modernizador, constructora de una transición única en la región. Y esto también debe entenderlo Washington.
12.-No implica abandonar la candidatura ni renunciar al mandato democrático.
Implica no reducir toda la estrategia al cargo presidencial, adoptando una visión histórica noble y profunda reparador de un vacío republicano sensible.
13.-La paradoja histórica. Encontramos una comparación interesante con Rómulo Betancourt y De Gaulle. Betancourt entendió que una democracia no se construye únicamente venciendo al adversario; necesita instituciones, alianzas, pactos y un Estado capaz de sobrevivir al líder.
14.-De Gaulle entendió algo diferente: la legitimidad histórica [refundar la república] puede permitir negociar con actores que ayer eran adversarios sin renunciar al objetivo nacional.
15.-María Corina representa un proceso de redención socio-político sin igual, cuyo valor moral no es personal sino colectivo. Esto es precisamente lo que debe entender Washington, y Machado debe seducirlos con inteligencia y paciencia.
16.-La respuesta estratégica no es elevar el volumen de la denuncia, sino subir el peso de la utilidad política.
17.-Debe convertirse en la interlocutora de la Venezuela post-petróleo no en un temor para el plan EEUU
17.-María Corina tiene una oportunidad enorme. Debe hablar de electricidad, agua, hospitales, educación, petróleo, gas, infraestructura, crédito, propiedad privada, seguridad, salarios, empleo y libertad para los presos políticos.
18.-En conclusión debe cambiar la narrativa de “yo regreso” a “regresemos a construir a Venezuela”. Yo no vuelvo a solas sino con todos mis compatriotas a casa, para recuperar nuestro sentimiento de pertenencia, amor y orgullo nacional.
A Secret Service agent who protected Trump recently said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me — I could never protect another President the same way again.” And before you assume he meant that as criticism, WAIT until you understand what he really meant by “ruined,” because his explanation of Trump has left people across the Secret Service deeply emotional.
Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”:
This Secret Service agent had protected several Presidents before Trump. He was professionally trained, followed every rule, and performed his duty with discipline, distance, and dedication. He protected each President the same way — until he was assigned to Trump. That’s when EVERYTHING changed.
The agent explained:
“Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult — but because he’s completely different. Trump knows my NAME. Other Presidents called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name.
He knows my WIFE’S name. He knows my CHILDREN’S names. He asks about my son’s baseball games. Trump notices when I’ve been standing for 8 hours and tells me, ‘Sit down, you need to rest.’
During long days, Trump makes sure EXTRA food is available: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’
When my FATHER passed away, Trump came to his funeral. No cameras. No reporters. No publicity. He simply came to honor the man who raised the person protecting him.
After being treated like THIS — how could I ever return to being just ‘agent’ to another President?
After Trump remembered my CHILDREN’S names, how could I protect someone who wouldn’t even bother learning mine?
After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how could I go back to feeling like FURNITURE?
Trump RUINED me.
He raised the standard so HIGH for how a President can treat the people protecting him that I could never accept the old standard again.
That’s what I mean when I say he ‘ruined’ me.”
Here’s what this confession supposedly shows: Trump didn’t simply have Secret Service agents protecting him — he made them feel VALUED, RESPECTED, and treated like FAMILY. Once someone experiences that kind of personal respect, it becomes impossible to accept being treated like nothing more than equipment.
¡Contundente mensaje de @SantiPenap, presidente de Paraguay, en la ONU!
“Aprovecho este escenario para decirlo alto y fuerte, con toda claridad. No fui a Venezuela a validar un régimen. No fui a validar absolutamente nada. No, señores, más bien todo lo contrario. El Paraguay ama la democracia y cree que el pueblo venezolano merece también la democracia.
Yo quiero para Venezuela lo que mi país, el Paraguay, logró después de 35 años de una dictadura en 1989 una transición democrática real y duradera.
No quiero una foto, no quiero un comunicado. Quiero una transición con instituciones, con seguridad, con economía y con un pueblo otra vez integrado a la comunidad internacional.
Hoy pido a todos mis hermanos latinoamericanos, pero también a estas Naciones Unidas, unámonos para ayudar a que Venezuela, ese país tan bello, vuelva a insertarse al mundo y que tenga un gobierno democrático y respetuoso de los derechos humanos”.,
RUBIO SAYS IT! 🔥
Rubio just told the world that under President Trump, the United States does not work for the “international order.” We work for the United States. 🇺🇸
That’s the break from the old State Department. No more lecturing Americans while chasing global applause.
Trump put America first, and his Secretary of State is saying it on camera.
Watch it. This is the doctrine.
Comparto el video entero subtitulado de las declaraciones del Secretario de Estado Marco Rubio sobre la reunión con la dictadora interina Delcy Rodríguez en la ONU.
Ver completo. 4 minutos.
Si alguien en Venezuela cree que Donald Trump decidió poner su carrera en riesgo con la Operation Absolute Resolve el 3 de enero, para "robarse unos barriles de petróleo" o para "saquear los ingresos de Venezuela" o para "mantener a Delcy para siempre", ....
... no está entendiendo bien.
El petróleo venezolano es PARTE FUNDAMENTAL de la estrategia de Seguridad Nacional de los EUA, para asegurar ser la primera potencia energética del planeta durante los próximos 100 años.
Los venezolanos tenemos que reflexionar y entender el significado que esto tiene para el futuro de nuestros hijos y nietos: ser el país más próspero del continente y uno de los más ricos del mundo, libre de socialismo y autoritarismo, y potencia energética mundial.
¿Estamos listos para asumir el reto o queremos regresar a los 27 años antes del 2 de enero?
¿Que desde el 3 de enero no se ha hecho nada? Repasemos algunos resultados concretos:
1. Maduro y Cilia Flores quedaron fuera del poder y enfrentan procesos en EE. UU.
2. Se instaló un gobierno interino con interlocución directa con Washington.
3. Comenzó el restablecimiento de relaciones diplomáticas con Estados Unidos.
4. Se produjeron liberaciones de presos políticos.
5. Se abrió el sector petrolero a nueva inversión extranjera.
6. Se firmó un gran acuerdo petrolero EE. UU.–Venezuela.
7. Ya está entrando maquinaria para reactivar la industria petrolera.
8. Se están impulsando proyectos para recuperar capacidad eléctrica.
9. Comenzaron negociaciones para reformar instituciones antes de futuras elecciones.
10. El líder del Tren de Aragua, “Niño Guerrero”, fue abatido en una operación coordinada entre EE. UU. y Venezuela.
11. Hoy se confirmó la captura en Venezuela de Aníbal Alexander Canelón Aguirre, alias “El Ingeniero” o “Prometeo”, uno de los 10 fugitivos más buscados por el FBI y señalado por una red internacional de fraude vinculada al Tren de Aragua.
12. Alex Saab volvió a quedar bajo la justicia estadounidense y está cooperando.
13. Venezuela ha comenzado a reinsertarse diplomáticamente.
¿Falta muchísimo? Claro que sí.
¿El problema eléctrico está resuelto? No.
¿La economía ya se recuperó? Tampoco.
Pero decir que “no ha pasado nada” no se sostiene.
En pocos meses han ocurrido cambios que durante años parecían imposibles.
Seamos pacientes, evaluemos los resultados y dejemos que el proceso avance. 🇻🇪🇺🇸
Fue el gobierno de TRUMP el que lo metió perdió finalmente , luego que BIDEN lo soltó - pero seguramente no le vais a dar crédito, como tampoco a los grandes logros de estos 20 meses
True ! I lived exactly the same you are describing in Venezuela back in 2003 and 2004 - then after you all already know what happened and how fast they destroyed the most prosperous country in South America
Lara Logan asks a question nobody wants to think about:
What happens if the midterms are stolen?
Her answer goes somewhere much darker than the election.
“Happy Birthday Dolores. You are in our thoughts, today and every day. Hopefully you are enjoying a lovely duet with Dolly Parton”.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 ¿POR QUÉ MARCO RUBIO NO VISITA VENEZUELA?
El Departamento de Estado acaba de anunciar que el secretario Marco Rubio viajará a Colombia, Ecuador y Perú del 8 al 10 de septiembre.
Venezuela, nuevamente, no está en el itinerario.
Después de haber trabajado durante años en posiciones diplomáticas estadounidenses, para mí la razón parece bastante clara, una cosa es que Washington mantenga relaciones de trabajo con quienes todavía forman parte de la estructura que quedó del régimen de Maduro, y otra muy distinta es que el Secretario de Estado viaje oficialmente a Caracas.
Una visita de Rubio tendría un enorme peso diplomático y simbólico. Podría proyectar una legitimidad política que Washington difícilmente querría conceder mientras Venezuela continúe atravesando este proceso.
Mi lectura es que no veremos al Secretario de Estado en Venezuela hasta que el país haya avanzado sustancialmente en una verdadera transición democrática, con condiciones que conduzcan a elecciones libres y legítimas.
Mientras tanto, observen algo importante: Rubio visita tres países sudamericanos y habla de un hemisferio “seguro, próspero y democrático”.
Venezuela todavía tiene que cruzar ese umbral.
Y cuando finalmente veamos a Marco Rubio aterrizar en Caracas, quizás la pregunta más importante no será cuándo llegó.
Será: ¿quién estará allí para recibirlo?

Los expertos petroleros venezolanos han reducido el problema de Venezuela a una simple discusión sobre petróleo:m de producción, inversión, barriles, infraestructura, Chevron, PDVSA.
Pero el problema de Venezuela es mucho más que un problema petrolero.
Lo que estamos viendo es la radiografía de un país después de más de dos décadas de una guerra ideológica que finalmente llegó a su agotamiento final.
No solamente destruyeron PDVSA.
Destruyeron escuelas, hospitales, infraestructura, servicios públicos, instituciones, seguridad jurídica y buena parte de la capacidad productiva del país.
Millones de venezolanos terminaron dispersos por el mundo en uno de los mayores éxodos de la historia.
Pero eso sí, nunca podían faltar las botellas de whisky escocés, las camionetas de lujo, las Mercedes, las grandes fiestas y las fortunas de una nueva élite que decía representar al pueblo mientras el pueblo abandonaba Venezuela.
Y ahora algunos quieren reducir todo ese desastre a una discusión entre expertos petroleros sobre cuántos barriles puede producir Venezuela.
No.
El petróleo será una herramienta fundamental para reconstruir el país, pero Venezuela no necesita solamente reconstruir su industria petrolera. Necesita reconstruir el Estado, sus instituciones y la nación.
Y allí está el punto que muchos todavía no comprenden: quienes hoy dominan la conversación petrolera venezolana no necesariamente serán quienes definan la estrategia norteamericana para Venezuela.
Porque Washington no está mirando solamente los pozos.
Está mirando el tablero completo. Los Venezolanos decidirán su futuro.
Trump’s Top 25 Achievements: The List Every Conservative Should Know and Use
Donald Trump doesn’t have an accomplishment problem. Republicans have an information problem. It’s on each of us to change that.
With the midterms coming, an astonishing number of Republican voters cannot name three things President Trump has accomplished. Which is remarkable when you consider that Donald Trump has accomplished more in a year and a half than any other president ever did in four.
Indeed, he has accomplished so much, so fast, across so many fronts that most people cannot keep up. The Enemedia buries the victories, while Republicans do an abysmal job of explaining them.
So here is the cheat sheet. It barely scratches the surface. And yet each and every item here is a game-changer, and your befuddled black-pilling friends need to know it.
This is not a list of promises. It’s a list of laws enacted, cases won, policies implemented, agreements secured, and measurable results.
You don’t have to memorize all 25. Learn five. And when somebody says Trump “hasn’t done much,” show them the receipts.
Trump Restored American Safety and Sovereignty
1. He made the border a real border again.
In a matter of months, Trump reduced illegal border crossings to their lowest level in half a century. Catch-and-release is finished. The wall is going up and even being expanded, “Remain in Mexico” is back, and the Administration reduced releases into the country by an incredible 99.9 percent.
2. He reversed mass migration.
America recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century. So far, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the country, whether voluntarily or involuntarily: more than 675,000 forcibly deported and the rest “self-deported.”
Many of those self-deportations were facilitated by the President’s innovative program to offer plane tickets and cash bonuses for illegals to leave, not only incentivizing good behavior but significantly reducing the cost of deportations. Citizenship and the law actually mean something again.
3. He signed the Laken Riley Act — and required detention of criminal illegal aliens.
Named for an innocent girl murdered by an illegal alien, the Laken Riley Act requires federal authorities to detain illegals arrested for theft, burglary, shoplifting, assaulting police, or any crime causing death or serious injury. It also lets states sue officials who refuse to enforce it.
Laken Riley should still be alive. This law will prevent tragedies like hers.
4. History’s biggest drop in violent crime, and the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.
According to FBI data, violent crime in America dropped an incredible 9.7 percent in 2025 — the largest one-year decline in history. Murder fell 18.1 percent, robbery fell 18.5 percent. And America’s violent crime rate is its lowest since 1900.
This is what happens when you put the National Guard on the streets in crime-ridden blue cities: fewer victims, safer streets, and better futures for America’s poorest.
Trump Launched an American Industrial Supercycle
5. He made the 2017 tax cuts permanent…and better.
The One Big Beautiful Bill locked in the largest tax cut in modern history, including the doubled standard deduction, the expanded Child Tax Credit, and 100 percent expensing for factories and equipment. It also delivered No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, an abolition of most taxes on Social Security benefits, and major relief for seniors.
Every Democrat voted no. With the 2017 act set to expire in December 2025, that would have resulted in the largest tax hike in American history.
6. He repealed 129 regulations for every new one.
In fiscal 2025, federal agencies finalized 646 deregulatory actions and just five regulatory actions: 129-to-1, and in nearly every case, the “one” was to repeal the others! OIRA says the savings exceeded those of Trump’s entire first term. That is more freedom, lower costs, and less bureaucratic sabotage.
Of these, the crown jewel was the repeal of Obama’s 2009 “Endangerment Finding”, the legal foundation for the Green New Scam’s vehicle mandates. EPA calls it the largest deregulatory action in American history and estimates that by itself, it will save Americans more than $1.3 trillion. Trump also killed the federal EV mandate, restored Americans’ freedom to buy the cars and trucks they actually want, and even eliminated the incentives behind the almost universally hated start-stop button.
7. He secured $18 trillion in announced investment commitments.
That’s nearly two-thirds the size of the entire American economy, building American factories, chip plants, data centers, energy projects, steel mills, shipyards, and supply chains employing American workers. Apple, Meta, NVIDIA, Micron, Hyundai, U.S. Steel, Ford, Taiwan Semiconductor, and many corporations and sovereign wealth funds are betting big on Trump’s America.
No President has ever done anything remotely like it. And it’s just getting started.
8. He made “reshoring” and “reindustrialization” real, not a slogan.
Ford is moving Lincoln production out of China. Toyota is shifting Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas. GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and others are expanding U.S. production. The capital equipment pouring into the country is the machinery that’s building the growing boom.
9. He replaced lopsided trade deals with balanced, reciprocal trade.
Trump used tariffs as leverage to reverse 80 years of lopsided trade deals that favored everyone but America, and to win new or improved agreements with trading partners accounting for more than half of global GDP. Those agreements open foreign markets, attack non-tariff barriers, defend strategic industries, and make it more profitable to build in America than to export American jobs.
10. He shifted global energy dominance from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of America.
Once the world’s largest energy importer — “exporting” $700 billion a year to our enemies — America now outproduces Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. The U.S. is also setting new records in oil, natural gas, and LNG exports, becoming the first country ever to export more than 100 million metric tons of LNG in a year.
Trump also opened land, accelerated permits, expanded pipelines and export terminals, and made American energy a tool for prosperity and peace.
11. After four decades of nuclear paralysis, Trump brought five new reactors online in a single year.
For more than 40 years, not one new privately developed non-light-water reactor reached criticality in America. Trump ordered at least three by July 4, 2026. DOE delivered four by the deadline, then a fifth just one month later.
Decades of zero. One Trump summer: five. That is a genuine nuclear renaissance.
Trump Made Elections Matter Again
12. He broke the Deep State’s power to defy the elected branches.
In Trump v. Slaughter, the Supreme Court ruled for the first time in 90 years that Article 2, Section 1 is still part of the Constitution: the President may fire subordinate officials in the executive branch, overturning the 1935 precedent that insulated “independent” agencies from voters’ control.
Ever wonder why elections often seem to change nothing? How about one President and 5,000 political appointees vs. 2.8 million unfireable, unaccountable bureaucrats? THAT is the “Deep State”.
Trump then made that victory real. For the first time in a century, all policy-making bureaucrats can now be fired for misconduct, incompetence, or defying lawful directives. The permanent bureaucracy no longer gets to veto the voters.
13. He ended nationwide injunction abuse.
In Trump v. CASA, the Supreme Court sharply limited nationwide injunctions. A single, local, district judge should not be able to block a national policy for everyone, everywhere; and yet that’s exactly what they’ve done, nonstop, ever since Trump (and only Trump) took office in 2017.
In restricting that unconstitutional power, the Court kneecapped the Black Robe Bureaucracy’s favorite tool of unlawful judicial supremacy.
14. He shut down USAID as a left-wing slush fund and shadow government.
USAID had become a taxpayer-funded machine for exporting abortion, gender ideology, censorship, and left-wing politics. It had a bigger budget than the CIA and the State Department combined, absolutely no accountability whatsoever, and a penchant for overthrowing governments.
Trump terminated it — completely — and moved real humanitarian aid under the State Department. Immediately, seven socialist Latin American governments lost re-election. Coincidence?
15. He shrank Federal employment to its lowest level in 60 years.
From a high under Biden, the federal workforce is now its smallest since 1966. Workforce reductions, agency closures, and spending cancellations mean fewer bureaucrats paid to resist the voters.
What’s more, when Biden left office, 94 percent of federal employees “worked” from home. The Trump administration cracked down: as Elon Musk put it, “you can work from the office or you can pretend to work somewhere else.”
16. He expelled DEI from the federal government.
Trump eliminated federal DEI offices and barred race- and sex-based preferences across the executive branch. Government hiring and contracting are returning to merit and equality under the law, ending the grotesque Democrat idea that “fighting discrimination” requires the federal government to discriminate.
He Defended Faith and Family
17. He delivered sweeping pro-life reform.
In his first term, Trump delivered the judges that overturned the abominable Roe v. Wade. Hardly anyone believed it could be done, or that Trump would do it. But he did, and a half-century nightmare finally ended.
Since returning to office, Trump has enforced the Hyde Amendment prohibiting the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy prohibiting federal funding of foreign abortions, ended federal fetal-tissue research, strengthened conscience protections, protected Medicaid from funding large abortion providers, and pardoned 23 pro-life activists prosecuted by Biden’s weaponized Justice Department.
He’s also done everything within the Executive Branch’s power to defund Planned Parenthood. It would be nice if Congress did likewise.
No President has ever done more to protect life. No one.
18. He got men out of women’s sports, and restored biological reality to federal policy.
The United States government once again officially recognizes two sexes: male and female. Trump ended federal support for the chemical and surgical gender mutilation of children, stopped taxpayer funding of such irreversible abominations, and forced more than three dozen health systems to end or suspend their programs as well.
Trump also enforced Title IX as written: women and girls deserve their own teams, trophies, scholarships, and locker rooms. The NCAA and other athletic organizations changed their rules in response. After years of Democrats doing everything they could to destroy women’s sports and ruin girls’ lives, Trump’s administration protects women and girls again.
19. He enacted America’s first nationwide school-choice program — and launched Trump Accounts.
As part of the President’s One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump enacted America’s first-ever nationwide school choice program. The new Education Freedom Tax Credit helps fund scholarships for tuition, books, and other educational costs.
That’s on top of the new Trump Accounts, which give every child a tax-advantaged stake in America’s future, including a $1,000 federal seed for eligible newborns. Parents gain power. Bureaucracies lose it. And children learn first-hand about free markets and future orientation.
20. He targeted anti-Christian bias and discrimination.
Trump created the White House Faith Office, Religious Liberty Commission, and Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. He restored conscience protections and made clear that Christians do not surrender their First Amendment rights merely by entering public life.
He Restored Peace Through Strength and Put America First
21. He forced NATO to stop freeloading and increase defense spending by 250 percent.
For decades, wealthy European governments underfunded their militaries, effectively sending America the bill and using American taxpayers to subsidize their bloated welfare states. Trump forced NATO to replace its old two-percent-of-GDP spending target with an enormous five percent by 2035.
Allied spending is rising, American defense orders are soaring, and Europe is becoming a partner instead of a dependent.
22. He drove China out of the Caribbean.
China spent years building strategic beachheads at both ends of the Panama Canal, in Cuba, and in Maduro’s Venezuela. Trump forced Panama out of Belt and Road, expanded American security access around the Canal, and captured Maduro, who now sits in a New York jail cell awaiting trial.
Beijing’s planned encirclement of the United States collapsed. The Monroe Doctrine is back. Call it the Donroe Doctrine.
23. He brokered eight peace deals in just eight months.
In eight months, Trump brokered peace in eight conflicts spanning four continents, including wars that had gone on for as much as 40 years. It’s a record unmatched by any other President.
24. He launched and funded Golden Dome, the first-ever true missile defense for the U.S. population.
Ronald Reagan dreamed of making nuclear missiles obsolete through his Strategic Defense Initiative. Today, Trump is actually building it: a layered homeland shield with space-based sensors and interceptors, conventional defenses, and new technologies including microwave systems to destroy drone swarms and directed-energy weapons (yes, lasers) that can replace an $11 million missile with $2 of electricity.
Congress has funded the initial $25 billion, with far more on the way once it passes the NDAA this fall. Better a shield than a sword.
25. He restored the warrior ethos — and reversed the recruiting crisis.
After years of missed targets under Biden, every active military component met or exceeded its 2025 recruiting goal. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refocused the newly renamed Department of War on actually winning wars, while pouring resources into shipbuilding, munitions, drones, missile defense, and America’s atrophied industrial base.
Young Americans once again believe their Commander-in-Chief is worth serving. And they’re showing up en masse.
Now Act Like It Matters
Those are not tweets or campaign promises. They are changes in law, power, investment, sovereignty, culture, and the structure of the Republic itself. And they’re just the top 25: I could give you hundreds more.
Midterms are turnout elections. We do not need to convince Democrats to love Donald Trump. We need Republicans and friendly independents to understand what is at stake — and to show up.
And let’s be clear. When you say (as some of you will) “the Republicans need to do a good enough job telling this story”, you’re pointing at yourself. You are “the Republicans.” The Democrats don’t rely exclusively on their elected officials to tell their story: everyone from their media lackeys to their lowest-level supporters are constantly spreading their “news”, whatever that “news” happens to be.
Today’s conservatives have more ability to find whatever you want to know than any group of people in human history, yet half of them couldn’t name any of the accomplishments in this essay, and if they were to read it, they would just complain that something else they wanted hasn’t happened fast enough to suit them.
This is called “black-pilling.” It’s a loser mindset, and if you engage in it, you deserve to lose: horribly, painfully, personally. And guess what: you will, unless people who are serious step up to save you. Which is frankly pathetic, but for the rest of our sakes, necessary.
So tell people our story. Donald Trump is delivering great things, whether or not heaven on earth has broken out quite yet. Do the work, send the team he needs to Washington to finish the job, and get ready for 2028 afterward.
Take the time to learn at least five of these victories. Share this list with someone who needs it. And vote as though the most consequential Presidency in modern history depends on what you do.
Because it does.
(Oh, and those receipts? Follow the link in my bio to get them all.)
This deal is a huge win for both the American and Venezuelan people.
It demonstrates how President Trump's bold foreign policy is driving America First wins: securing stable reserves and low-cost oil in our Hemisphere and lowering gas prices here at home.
For the Venezuelan people, this deal will bring nearly $100 billion in private investment, support thousands of high-paying jobs, and drive the reconstruction of Venezuela's economy.
Trump está a punto de quedarse, a precio de gallina flaca, con acceso privilegiado a una porción importantísima del petróleo venezolano.
Para esto se llevaron a Maduro y dejaron en Caracas a sus lacayos, ahora dispuestos a negociar prácticamente cualquier cosa con tal de conservar el poder y no terminar acompañándolo en una cárcel en Nueva York.
Y quizás esto también ayuda a entender por qué nunca quisieron a María Corina Machado, ni a una oposición independiente, cerca del gobierno venezolano. Para un acuerdo de esta magnitud resulta mucho más conveniente negociar con quienes necesitan de Washington para sobrevivir.
La ironía histórica es brutal. Las compañías estadounidenses fueron protagonistas fundamentales del desarrollo de la industria petrolera venezolana durante buena parte del siglo XX y durante décadas Venezuela y Estados Unidos mantuvieron una estrecha relación petrolera y comercial.
Después llego Chávez, las expropiaciones y casi 30 años de revolución que destruyeron buena parte de aquella industria. Ahora Venezuela necesita miles de millones de dólares de capital extranjero para recuperarla y Estados Unidos negocia desde una posición de fuerza extraordinaria.
A Colón se le atribuye aquello de cambiar espejitos por oro. Trump parece estar a punto de llevarse la finca entera.
