When Scheinbaum was elected, they killed 27 different conservative candidates, largely

assassinated by the cartels, and in many cases, it was funded by the Chinese Communist Party,

trafficking, and with other aspects of trade, the CCP is trying to put their hooks in at all levels

because they're immediately met by overwhelming force, which wipes out not just them, but their

family, and it kills their entire family ugly. So, yeah, at some point, some greater force

is going to have to be unleashed.

The New York Times has new reporting that the president has signed off on new ways to put even more pressure on Venezuela,

including authorized covert CIA action inside the country.

weren't any concrete plans. And now what we have is the president not saying the plan should

necessarily start, but approving the specific development.
