Caracas attacked. Successfully Trump says. Maduro captured and flown out of his country. Perhaps his wife also.
Not certain whether Congress contacted and advised by Trump first.
Trump appears happy at the moment. A brilliant victory from his perspective. He will make an announcement to the Nation at 11 this morning with details.
The attack was early this morning. Other locations in Venezuela were attacked also.
The attack pure stupidity from my viewpoint. For months we have been advised Trump’s claim of drugs coming out of Venezuela to the U.S. not true. No proof of the same.
As Trump is dying economically, it appears he is attempting to gain success and notoriety in another fashion. By actually initiating a war on another country’s grounds. He is a warmonger. Moving slower than Hitler did, but moving.
Attorney General Bondi said Maduro would receive “American justice on American soil in American courts.” She referenced an indictment in the Southern District of New York. Proper place to try Maduro?
I have a feeling Trump will come out of the attack as well as he has with his actions at the Kennedy Center.
Appears Trump is prepared to wage war against two Nations simultaneously. He is threatening to utilize American troops in Iran. His purpose to “protect Christians.”
Trump is crazy. He was not elected to wage wars. It was to help the poor, lower food prices, lower rental prices, and things of that nature. He spoke one way during the campaign and has acted in another since elected.
Key West weather warming up a bit. Not by much, however. High today will be 73. The night was in the mid 60s. Hopefully our day time temperatures will soon return to the 80s with the evenings in the 70s.
A Keys’ great is celebrating his birthday today. Howard Livingston. Happy birthday, Howard!
In his senior years, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has become a prolific writer. He calls them as he sees them. Right on!
Three recent observations.
First, an unasked for happening. The U.S. hit 2,000 measles cases for the first time in 2025. The first time in years. The U.S. hit the 2,000 number last years ago.
Another. Older adults are still sexually active. Not surprising. Surprise is sexually transmitted infection rates are on the rise.
Finally, the much older are enjoying sex. Even at 90, I am.
The problem diseases. Chlamydia has tripled in the 65 and older. Gonorrhea has increased six fold, syphilis tenfold.
The “why” clear. Only 3 percent of adults aged 60 plus use condoms. Keep in mind, more older persons are divorced, singles adopt a new life style. A new type dating. Safety forgotten. And most importantly, the elderly are enjoying sex at a time they feared they would not. They “go for it!”
Venereal disease in one’s golden years can make those years less golden.
So much for today.
I am anxious for 11 a.m. to arrive. Can’t wait to hear Trump lie and misrepresent.
Please continue to keep in mind Mark Kelley for President in 2028. He would not make the mistakes and create the problems Trump does.
Enjoy your day!
