Maduro is NOT the President of Venezuela and his regime is NOT the legitimate government. Maduro is the head of the Cartel de Los Soles, a narco-terror organization which has taken possession of a country. And he is under indictment for pushing drugs into the United States.
Peace be with you all! This is the first greeting spoken by the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd. I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, and among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world.
No dejo de rezar por los niños Ariel y Kfir, toda una vida presos, secuestrados por Hamas y apadrinados por mi siguiendo la iniciativa de

Ruego a Dios por su pronta liberación junto al resto de rehenes. Que el 2025 sea el año de su liberación #FreeTheHostages
And…this is why Democrats just lost.
Democrats need to act like Americans:
“CONGRATULATIONS to the winners @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance & MAGA! We look forward to working with you to heal our great nation after a hard fought, brutal and divisive campaign.”
God bless America.
One year ago today, I shared the tweet quoted below.
I left it there because sometime around October 11-12, after the initial shock of the Hamas massacre had worn off, I felt a deep dread that I had understood something truly horrible about its architect Yahya Sinwar.
When I wrote the tweet, Israel was still 11 days away from its invasion of Gaza. It hadn’t started.
What I thought I had realized was that Sinwar was a genius who was innovating at a totally diabolical level.
In effect, he had gone well beyond the suicide bomber. The point of co-locating your military and terror installations around schools, mosques, hospitals, residences, etc., is to use a so-called "Human Shield Strategy" to make it impossible for your enemy to hit your military infrastructure without harming civilians. This discourages military action.
But the purpose of the tunnels was closer to a "Crosshair Targeting System"...for which there is no name. The purpose was to use terror targets to guide the Israeli enemy's military force *towards* whatever would produce the most potent video. Sinwar was literally going to get his enemy to kill his own civilians in the most spectacular fashion possible. On video.
From an "Eye for an Eye" to "Land for Peace" the world of war has always been transactional. But this was a new trade: "Lives for Video".
Because what Sinwar saw is that if he used attrocities and hostages in tunnels, Israel would have no choice. It would have to kill his civilians. And in this war, the most potent weapon is neither planes, nor rockets, nor helicopters nor tanks.
It's video.
In the graphic below, you can see that no one was talking about "Suicide by Cop" before 1992. It was a mysterious concept. Why would anyone pull a toy gun on an officer or appear to threaten civilians when they would obligate a police officer to use deadly force?
Eventually the idea of "Police-Assisted Suicide" dawned on people. It initially seemed too crazy to contemplate. But it works.
I know very few young people read old Sherlock Holmes stories any more. But one reason we did was to learn how much creativity a diabolical mind can posses. I highly recommend "The Problem of Thor Bridge" from what I can recall of it.
In this remarkable story, the villain uses suicide as a tool, to frame her victim for murder. To the best of my knowledge, this story has not been connected to what has unfolded over the last tragic year. Please have a read. You will see it immediately.
I believe that Sinwar knew that he himself was commiting suicide. Such is in the nature of the region. This is not uncommon. But what he wanted was to force an artifical "Genocide".
What is thus unusual is the level of ruthlessness, genius and innovation in a world already hungry to blame his enemy:
Zugzwang.
Munchausen by Proxy.
Thor Bridge.
IDF assisted Suicide.
People say the Israeli Pager/WalkieTalkie attacks which forced Nasrallah to meet with his leaders in person were brilliant.
Perhaps. But I still think that Sinwar is even smarter. Consider after all just who he outsmarted. Genius.
One must give this devil his due.
Read the quoted tweet again a year later and tell me what you think. I think that all this was forseeable from before Israel ever crossed into Gaza. We just didn't have language for it. Just as in the graph below.
@NombreFalso1231 Si omites los homicidios en tentativa, y sólo cuentas los consumados, teniendo en cuenta que se ha avanzado mucho en primeros auxilios...
En fin, no hay más ciego que el que no quiere ver, y quienes no ven les dicen a los que ven, qué es lo que tienen que ver.
Les dijimos que íbamos a ganar y a cobrar; tenemos cada una de las actas y esa es la prueba irrefutable de que GANAMOS y @EdmundoGU es el nuevo presidente electo.
Así lo ratificamos hoy cívicamente en Caracas.
I don't think it's nice to lock rapists in with female prisoners, allow mediocre males to participate in women's and girls' sport, or for women to get death and rape threats for speaking up for their rights. When you've stopped all that happening, we can talk 'nice.'
