Rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure could take up to $100 billion, and increasing production will take years. If Trump is so sure this won’t cost America a dime, let’s pass my legislation to stop U.S. tax dollars from rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.

Trump 2.0 has already hurt their economies. Now, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio will slammed again by Trump's tariff war vs. Canada which will hit US farm equipment manufacturers and badly monkeywrench the conjoined US/Canadian auto industries.

A year ago, Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington to fight crime. Thousands of troops are still there. It is anti-American. And a total waste. That is the bad news. My latest Early Warning on finding hopeful defiance in the boredom. earlywarningwithjuliette.substack.com/p/the-nation...

President Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Washington. A year later, they've barely made an impact and still don’t have a clear mission.

Memories: In 2016, Obama purchased 32 metric tons of Iran's excess heavy water for $8.6 million to help it stay within its allowed stockpile limits. Not only was that an excellent price, but he didn't have to go to war to get it. Diplomacy and cooperation can do wonders without murdering kids.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:
NYT on Feb. 13, 2026:

The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.NYT on March 16, 2026:

On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said.

Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.
