Contrast this to Biden's botch exit from Afghanistan! Was Maduro’s capture the greatest special forces raid in history? By Gavin Mortimer, The Spectator 5 January 2026 On this occasion no one can accuse Donald Trump of hyperbole. The American president praised the Delta Force team that seized Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro as ‘incredible’. The operation to capture Maduro – codenamed ‘Absolute Resolve’ – was months in the planning, and Trump watched it unfold in real time. ‘

For decades Alta used military artillery to blast for avalanches. Then the US gov decided that was too dangerous. What a bunch of pussies. The resort recently was forced to install 14 Wyssen towers instead which remotely deploy explosives. Each of these towers is estimated to cost approx $430,000 including installation using helicopters. So that's $6 million up in smoke. Of course these towers need to be regularly filled with explosives. That's not cheap! I'm not happy!

I know what you're thinking. This crazy beach isn't a major player in the Mamdani administration. Right? He wouldn't install someone that doesn't believe in individual property right to oversee housing? Wrong! Cea Weaver is the new Director of the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants.

How about that! Over his lifetime, Spielberg's films have grossed over $10.7 billion. Cameron's almost as much! How's that for a lifetime of work. BTW, Nvidea in 2025 grossed $130.5 billion and netted $73 billion (56%) profit margin. “Avatar: Fire and Ash” surpasses $1 billion globally after 18 days Chart R Just over two weeks after its release, the third movie in James Cameron’s blockbuster “Avatar” franchise has officially reached $1 billion at the global box office.

What all these guys are missing? Voldemort isn't interested in building a new government in Venezuala, he's interested in having them do what we want. Those aren't the same? His message to whose ever in charge. "Maduro didn't follow orders and he will spend the rest of his life in an American Prison. Want to join him? Or would you rather partner with us and make money in the oil business". Meanwhile, the USS Gerald Ford Carrier Strike Group is deployed down there. Narco b

Bernie, Mamdani, Progressives and many in Gen Z believe our nation should adopt some sort of socialist model. Several EU nations have experimented with this with pretty dismal results. Poland has moved in the opposite direction. I fired up a chart (ClaudeAi) to illustrate. Poland’s economic transformation began with the fall of communism in 1989, moving from a centrally planned system to a dynamic market economy. Structural reforms, privatization, and integration into globa

Here’s America’s Stock Market Cap Fell Behind in 2025: Stock Region Jan 4, 2025 In 2025, the U.S. stock market ranked 8th out of the 10 largest global markets by market cap, a surprising underperformance for a country accustomed to leading the pack. The S&P 500 gained 16%, and the Nasdaq rose 19%, but these numbers paled in comparison to the MSCI All Country World ex-USA index, which surged 29.2%.

Maduro's fall could galvanise Iran's opposition By Charlie Gammell, The Spectator January 2026, 12:44pm On the afternoon of the 28 December in a Tehran electronics bazaar, shopkeepers (known as bazaaris) shuttered their shops and walked out, outraged at a planned gas price rise and crippled at the continuing slide in the value of the Iranian currency and the government’s powerlessness to shepherd Iran’s economy towards something better than corruption, unemployment and inflat

Our objective isn't to "change" Venezuela. It's too scare the crap out of them so we can buy/extract and refine their oil. Plus stop the flow of drugs. Can we do that? I wouldn't be against it. This isn't Iraq and Voldemort isn't Bush. PS. Another Venezuelan economist explains the Narco state. And why the US has strategic reasons other than oil to stop Maduro (also his dealing w Russia, China and Iran which also involves supporting terrorist actors). Can the ‘Donroe doctrin

Oh, there a long line of idiots and douchebags who'd rather have this despot in power than see Venezuela's government thrive and the US get the benefit of refining and distributing their oil (20% of the world's supply). Who care's the if the US becomes with world's oil baron? We're too "nice" for that. So our rouges gallery starts with Russia, China, Cuba, Brail, Mexico who are whining like little crybabies. F-ck them. And of course all the key Congressional Democrats are

I love watching these guys duke it out. The race is changing weekly. Suspect there will eventually be a shake out or some merger activity. As you may notice I use many of these chatbots to do some content research for the Report, however I find Claude has a slight edge in producing charts/graphs. Truth is. There’s no single best AI. There’s a best one for your use case. ChatGPT for creating, coding, and getting work done fast. Grok for real time trends and spicy takes. Gemi

Japan still has a larger economy ($4 trillion GDP vs Korea's $1.71 trillion). However South Korea spends more in R&D. Samsung, SK Hynix, and other Korean companies captured critical positions in memory chips, displays, and batteries. Did I mention their advances in the auto industry? So South Korea has surpassed Japan on a per capita GDP basis. Japan is facing some steep headwinds as it's population ages out. Our World In Data The economist Paul Krugman once said, “Producti
