Once again, I posting this on a burner account. If you want to take this with a grain of salt you can. I am hearing that Kyle Tucker is closing in on a decision to sign with the Mets, for a 4-5 year deal, reaching 50 Million AAV. Decision before Saturday is what I am hearing.
🚨This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.
Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react.
Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?
Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before.
Interviewer: And then the battle began?
Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything.
Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn't they help?
Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.
Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist?
Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.
Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans?
Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with.
Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America?
Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region.
Venezuelan man:
“Those who say that the U.S. is only interested in our oil, I ask you:
What do you think the RUSSIANS and the CHINESE wanted here?
The recipe for arepas?"

Juan Soto on how Carlos Beltrán helped him during his struggles;
“He shared that the exact same thing happened to him once when he was really struggling in New York. Everyone was piling on and the pressure was intense. To get through it, he started carrying a card with all his key stats written on it. Every time he looked at it, he reminded himself, This is who I am as a player, not the version everyone else is trying to paint. That simple mental reset helped him break out of the slump. Looking back, I’d say that was the last piece of advice that truly made a difference for me”

When someone on the left gets fired for what they said, it's: "Donald Trump wants to take away free speech".
When someone on the right gets fired for what they said, it’s just and makes sense. “They deserved it.”
This isn’t about being principled, they simply will use any tool to attempt to make Trump and the right look bad. That’s the goal.
