Donald Trump dramatically widened his rhetoric across Latin America following the high-profile U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, the U.S. president openly threatened possible action against Colombia, saying an operation there “sounds good,” while accusing its leadership of fueling cocaine trafficking. Trump also declared that Cuba is on the verge of collapse without Venezuelan oil revenues, insisting the island is “going down for the count” and may fall without direct U.S. intervention. Turning to Mexico, he claimed cartels are effectively running the country and revealed he has repeatedly offered to send U.S. troops to assist Mexican authorities. The remarks mark a sharp escalation after the Venezuela raid, signalling a far more confrontational U.S. posture toward Colombia, Cuba and Mexico.

The Venezuela Economy That Nailed Maduro (The Verdict)
Yesterday, history changed. Nicolás Maduro is in U.S. custody. But the handcuffs weren’t just forged by a Delta Force operation—they were forged by the most spectacular economic collapse in modern history.
In this forensic deep dive, we audit the "bills" that finally came due for the Venezuelan regime. From the 130,000% hyperinflation that destroyed the Bolívar to the "Maduro Diet" that starved a nation, we uncover the specific economic nails that sealed his coffin long before the arrest.
Why Chevron's Move to Texas is the Final Nail in the Coffin For California
California’s energy system is getting stress-tested in real time.
Chevron’s decision to shift its headquarters from California to Texas wasn’t just a corporate relocation — it was a warning sign. In this video, we break down why Chevron said California became too difficult and expensive to operate in, how refinery shutdown announcements from Phillips 66 and Valero compound the problem, and why California’s unique gasoline blend and limited supply options could translate into sharper price spikes and higher volatility at the pump.
We’ll also look at how shrinking in-state refining capacity can ripple into diesel, jet fuel, shipping costs, small business expenses, and the broader cost of living — and why importing fuel by tanker adds a new layer of risk when disruptions hit.
