Hot Teacher Breakin' Bad!

Hot teacher and husband trafficking the crowns.

A real Breakin Bad moment in Ohio. 

A "hot teacher" and her "mercenary" husband are trapping.

It's 2026, don't be like them. 

If you want to be like them, just don't get too comfortable. Cause the people you sell to or associate with may often snitch or maybe a fed.

Oh well, she can at least flex some muscle.

Ruthanne Rankin of Columbus, Ohio and her husband Justin Salsburey are in federal time out awaiting trial for distribution of Roids, Molly, Ice and Fetty.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

Now think about it, had it been Black.... cue the outrage.

While President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel want to throw trumped up charges to Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, the real distributors are your suburban white couple.

Venezuela only makes less than 1% of the illegal drug trafficking. Yet, at the behest of Israel, the president starts an illegal war against a nation that has a large oil reserve on the claims of narco-terrorism. 

Rankin is a teacher at Urbana City Schools. 

Salsburey is a mercenary who specializes in combat. He is a former military official.

The U.S. District Attorney for Southern Ohio announced their arrest. 

Federal authorities charged a husband and wife in Logan County, accused of using the U.S. mail system for drug trafficking.

Justin Salsburey still in federal time out.

Justin Salsburey, who court documents said worked for an armed security services company, was arrested last week on federal charges of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl and possess with intent to distribute a detectable amount of fentanyl and methamphetamine.

His wife, Ruthann Rankin, a teacher at Urbana City Schools, was similarly charged in federal court on Monday.

A United States Postal Inspector (USPI) said they received information in November 2025 from detectives with the Logan County Sheriff's Office about Salsburey and his wife receiving shipments of bulk narcotics via the postal service.

Are these individuals narco-terrorists?

Yes

No

Created with Poll Maker

Investigators said their records showed 261 parcels from throughout the U.S. went to a location in Bellefontaine between August 1, 2024, and December 22, 2025, using Salsburey's name or his initials.

Thirty-one of those packages were mailed using postage generated from websites that sell USPS postage in exchange for cryptocurrency. Some of the return addresses for those packages matched those connected to previous kilogram-amount drug seizures in other areas.

State and federal law enforcement surveilled Salsburey's residence. In November, Logan County Sheriff's investigators said they pulled trash from the Bellefontaine location that tested positive for the presence of fentanyl.

Court documents noted that two packages were intended for the Bellefontaine location, with a third having been sent from there. Among the first and third packages were counterfeit OxyContin pills that tested positive for fentanyl and orange bill pills that tested positive for meth and fentanyl. The second package was believed to be a replacement for the first, which postal inspectors seized.

That school badge gave it away.

Officials executed a search warrant in Bellefontaine on December 30, where they found "approximately 264 grams of blue pills which field tested positive for the presence of fentanyl, approximately 938 grams of orange pills which field tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine, approximately 19 grams of triangular shaped orange pills which field tested positive for the presence of MDMA, along with various other suspected controlled substances and steroids."

Earlier, investigators surveilled Rankin placing an object into a cooler and later observed a man retrieve the object from the cooler. During the search, investigators said they found a nicotine pouch container inside the cooler with approximately 13 grams of orange pills, which tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine.

They found other pouches inside Rankin's purse with similar pills and her Urbana City Schools badge.

Rankin reportedly told investigators she helped her husband by putting steroids and orange meth-laced pills she said she believed were Adderall in her mailbox for people to pick up. She believed the blue pills that tested positive for the presence of fentanyl were “Benzos.”

Don't be surprised.

Additionally, she said she had been placing vials of steroids, blue pills, and orange pills in the mailbox or cooler a couple of times a week for the past six months at the direction of Salsburey.

She reportedly told investigators that her husband started selling steroids, and later progressed into selling other drugs.

Salsburey was booked in the Franklin County Jail on December 30 and will remain in custody pending trial. Rankin was charged on Monday, but a future court date was not yet available on the docket.

So here we go again. 

The hot teacher either sleeping with a student or doing something you never thought they would ever do.

The hot teachers are another issue the junk food media obsess with. An attractive white woman who is a teacher, a coach, a counselor or principal is arrested for having sex with a student.

Inside Edition, Fox, Heavy, The Sun, TMZ, HuffPost, The New York Post, The Daily Mail and CourtTV obsess over the teacher and how a promising future was ruined by a rape of a minor.

I am for one am not amused about the amount of attention these stories get.

I am really getting tired of these female teachers being propped up like they're hot models.

They are not hot!

They are people who abused their powers to take advantage of students who were troubled. Instead of reporting the situation to the school administrators, the teacher gave into their lust to give their victims their first notch.

Mind you, if Robert Sylvester Kelly or Sean Justin Combs were teachers instead of entertainers, the junk food media would have vilified them and make them the poster children of anti-Black aggressors. 

They offer that smoke for every teacher who is accused of sexual abuse towards their students.

What they are doing is pedophilia!

But that's my opinion. What's your opinion about this?

As explained before, "hot teachers" busted for sleeping with students is becoming a junk food media sensation. Do you believe the junk food media is giving credence to pedophiles in the classroom? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answer)

Every time a story about a teacher having sex with a student I often see its a white woman. I am tired of the media putting these stories on.

I do not see anything wrong with a teacher sleeping with a student. As long as the student is of consenting age the teacher could pursue a relationship.

When these stories appear in the media, the perception is give the accuser the benefit of doubt. The teacher makes mistakes but it shouldn't ruin her career.

This is straight up pedophilia. I don't care if the teacher is attractive, this person has no business being in the classroom. If you're a parent, you should be concerned about your child's safety.

Every one has an opinion. I find it amazing that all these women are hot. They should be models not teachers.

Hold these women to the same standard of men. Male teachers who are arrested face lengthy bids in prison and sexual offender status. It should be applied for female teachers.

Other

Please Specify: 

What they are doing is sexual abuse of a child!

What they are doing is putting American youth at risk!

Like with missing white women, the junk food media often portrays white women as "damsels in distress" and give them the "benefit of doubt."

If this was a male or a Black teacher, it will be controversy. They will automatically assume the politics of predator, call for the death penalty when it comes to the predator, and push for tough on crime laws.

I am like amazed how many educators find sexual attraction to children.

LibsOfTikTok (Chaya Raichik) barely covers it because the predator is a white woman and she is likely from a Republican or conservative home.

To this day, the junk food media fantasizes about the late Mary Kay Letourneau. The sexual offender who was a married teacher of four who gave it all up to engage in an affair with a 12 year old boy.

Her victim, Villi Fualaau had ended up having two daughters. They got married shortly after she got out of the iron college. They divorced in 2020 before she passed away later that year. He is a grandfather at 42. 

His daughters became mothers. 

He has another child with woman, years after Letourneau died.

He is struggling as a father. He tried at being a hip hop deejay, podcaster, a laborer and numerous other side hustles.

The sentencing of the female teachers is too lenient. Male teachers often are hit with charges that could put them in the iron college for LIFE. Female teachers are often slapped on the wrist or the butt. They lose their educators license, slapped with a heavy fine, restricted from computer or internet access. Some might have to register in Offender U and serve in-house. Usually female teachers are granted freedom from the iron college.

I am sick of the junk food media being sympathetic to these women who get caught sleeping with children. I don't care if she is a "10." She is a sexual predator and the U.S. Department of Education and Justice should require more stringent requirements to become a teacher.

I don't want to hear the life story of these pedophiles. The junk food media is so obsessed with "Hot for a Teacher" stories.

Gun violence is the biggest problem facing teachers and students. Sexual assault in schools should be ranked one of the biggest problem as well.

Doug LaMalfa Passed Away!

Doug LaMalfa dies. 

With Marjorie Taylor Greene gone and now this, the Republicans are quickly losing members and it could tip the scale on how President Donald J. Trump moves forward with his incompetent agenda.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) has passed away. The 65 year old Trump supporting white nationalist who backed most of the president's incompetent agenda died unexpectedly.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the president and Vice President JD Vance were informed.

His death, confirmed by Majority Whip Tom Emmer and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson, trims the Republicans’ margin of control of the House to 218 seats to Democrats’ 213.

Trump expressed “tremendous sorrow” over LaMalfa’s death on Tuesday as he addressed a meeting of House Republicans, lamenting the loss of a lawmaker he championed as an ally for his agenda.

“I was really saddened by his passing,” Trump said.

The president said he considered not giving the speech to honor LaMalfa but decided to go ahead with it “because he would have wanted it that way.”

Trump said the late congressman “wasn’t a 3 o’clock in the morning person” like other lawmakers he would call in the wee hours to lobby for their votes.

“He voted with me 100% of the time,” Trump said. “With Doug, I never had to call.”

Meanwhile, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York called for a moment of silence in honor of LaMalfa at the start of a panel at the Capitol commemorating the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.

Details surrounding LaMalfa’s death were unclear.

LaMalfa represented Northern California’s 1st District, along the Oregon border, including Redding and reaching just north of Sacramento. He had planned to run for reelection despite his district being dramatically redrawn under a ballot measure passed by California voters in November. The measure, backed by Democrats, was designed to make it harder for LaMalfa and four other Republicans to win reelection.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, must call a special election to replace LaMalfa, his office said. The election could happen as late as June, when California will hold its primary for the 2026 midterm.

Hudson, the NRCC chairman, called LaMalfa “a principled conservative and a tireless advocate for the people of Northern California.”

“He was never afraid to fight for rural communities, farmers, and working families,” Hudson said. “Doug brought grit, authenticity, and conviction to everything he did in public service.”

First elected to Congress in 2012, he was a regular presence on the House floor, helping GOP leadership open the chamber and offer his view local and national affairs.

C-SPAN in a recent compilation said he gave at least one set of remarks for the record on 81 days in 2025. Only two other lawmakers spoke on the House floor more frequently.

Like It Never Even Happened!

Five years later, the man who sparked this is back in the White House.

Five years ago, the United States officially entered into a decline.

The 45th/47th President of the United States of America deliberate sicced a mob of his supporters on the U.S. Capitol to harm the 52nd Speaker of the House and 48th Vice President of the of the United States.

Donald J. Trump is the very definition of white privilege, America's decline, democracy threatened globally and entitlement. He is an elitist who portrayed himself as the "blue collar" billionaire. The 79 year old president will not honor the victims of Jan. 6.

In fact, he literally ignores it.

He still thinks he was robbed of his victory. He clearly denies he lost to the 46th President of the United States.

Yet, he continues to blame him and the 44th President of the United States for things that happened under his watch.

With the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro being the international story, the junk food media has ignored the five year anniversary of Trump almost succeeding in destroying the United States.

And we're suddenly claiming that Maduro was trying to destroy Venezuela.

Under James Michael Johnson, the 56th House Speaker, he chooses to ignore the honoring of U.S. Capitol Police and National Gaurd officers saving the lives of thousands. The whole ordeal was a moment in U.S. history that will never be erased.

The American people rewarded a white man with so much privilege and lack of compassion for human life. A man who is a convicted felon and sexual predator. A man who played the victim ever since he came down that gold escalator in Trump Tower in 2015.

The white man thy name Trump.

He is the definition of white privilege, ignorance and the uneducated.

A senile semi autistic 79 year old man who is in rapid cognitive decline with his vice president, James David Vance. The two are the emboldenment of white supremacy and status quo politics.

I said I want them to fail. I meant it.

Jan. 6, 2021.

I was working at my previous job. They eliminated full time work during the pandemic. They ordered workers to work during the afternoon and be out of the building at 12am. It was a 24/7 operation before the pandemic. It has since returned to the format.

I was nursing my wounds from a lye incident on Dec. 31, 2020. I poured lye into the drain of my kitchen sink and the shit blew up in my face. I have first and second degree burns on my face. I now have psoriasis thanks to this. But I at least healed where the scars are not visible to most.

Nonetheless I was scheduled off on Wednesday. I had to watch the results of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock winning their senate elections in Georgia. They ended up flipping the senate with Kamala Harris being the tie breaker.

It was a great day for democracy. Now four years later, I am sick of Joe Biden and definitely sick of Donald J. Trump.

Anyway, I watched the electoral college count on NBC News Live and started to notice some commotion in the House and their abrupted departure. I also saw the Trump rally at the Eclipse.

Trump made his infamous speech where he told his followers to "fight like hell" and demanded that then vice president Mike Pence stop the counting of electoral votes. He also called out then speaker Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney. It lead to a violent insurrection where thousands of his supporters marched to the Capitol.

They broke windows, violently attacked police officers, defaced, vandalized and stole property.

They even defacated in Nancy Pelosi's office. Some came away with property. They threatened to sell it to foreign actors. It cost over $2.4 million dollars in damages. Four people died in the mob. Five police officers had died through the violent acts or suicide. 

The injuries on many were great.

Encouraged by Trump, on January 5 and 6, thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., to support his false claims that the 2020 election had been "stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats", and to demand that then-vice president Mike Pence and Congress reject Biden's victory. Starting at noon on January 6 at a "Save America" rally on the Ellipse, Trump gave a speech in which he repeated false claims of election irregularities and said, "If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore". As Congress began the electoral vote count, thousands of attendees, some armed, walked to the Capitol, and hundreds breached police perimeters. Among the rioters were leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers militia groups.

The FBI estimates that between 2,000 and 2,500 people entered the Capitol Building during the attack, some of whom participated in vandalism and looting, including in the offices of then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Congress members. Rioters also assaulted Capitol Police officers and journalists. With building security breached, Capitol Police evacuated and locked down both chambers of Congress and several buildings in the Complex. Rioters occupied the empty Senate chamber while federal law enforcement officers defended the evacuated House floor. Pipe bombs were found at both the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters, and Molotov cocktails were discovered in a vehicle near the Capitol. Trump resisted sending the National Guard to quell the mob. Later that afternoon in a Twitter video, he restated false claims about the election and told his supporters to "go home in peace". The Capitol was cleared of rioters by mid-evening, and the electoral vote count was resumed and completed by the early morning of January 7, concluding with Pence declaring the final electoral vote count in favor of president-elect Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris. Pressured by his cabinet, the threat of removal, and many resignations, Trump later conceded to an orderly transition of power in a televised statement.

We rewarded an unapologetic white supremacist back in power.

A week after the attack, the House of Representatives impeached Trump for incitement of insurrection, making him the only U.S. president to be impeached twice. In February, after Trump had left office, the Senate voted 57–43 in favor of conviction, but fell short of the required two-thirds, resulting in his acquittal. Senate Republicans blocked a bill to create a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the attack, so the House instead approved a select investigation committee. They held nine televised public hearings on the attack, voted to subpoena Trump, and recommended that the Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecute him. Following a special counsel investigation, Trump was in August 2023 indicted on four charges, which were all dismissed in November 2024, following his reelection to the presidency. Of the 1,424 people then charged with federal crimes relating to the event 1,010 pled guilty, and 1,060 have been sentenced, 64% of whom received a jail sentence which was commuted or pardoned.

Some participants in the attack were linked to far-right extremist groups or conspiratorial movements, including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and Three Percenters, some of whom were convicted of seditious conspiracy. They were pardoned and commuted. Enrique Tarrio, then the chairman of the Proud Boys, received the longest sentence, a 22-year prison term which was commuted by the president. 

Trump and elected Republican officials have since promoted a revisionist history of the event by downplaying the severity of the violence, spreading conspiracy theories, and portraying those charged with crimes as hostages and martyrs.

Of the mob.

94% white.

3% Black

1% Asian

1% Latino

1% other

To this day, there are over 5,000 suspects involved and they haven't been arrested yet.

Trump officially pardoned and commuted most of the participants of this. This will be one of the most dumbest and yes, facsist moves yet. It will also set the U.S. back further in leadership, morality and diplomacy.

It's bad already thanks to Biden's willingness to back Israel and threaten attacks on Iran for defending itself from Israeli attacks.

Trump and Republicans are rewarded with this moment of shame. It makes me more likely to root for America's downfall than successes.

America is on the decline and we can thank Donald J. Trump and Joseph R. Biden II for this.

By the way, most of those pardoned or commuted by Trump have no remorse, no sympathy or self reflection. 

Still No Suspect In Acid Attack Of Savannah Woman! I Want To Make That Call.... [NSFW]

Still no suspects in December 2025 acid attack.

Can we please figure out who threw acid on that woman in Georgia?

I know the obvious but I just want to close the case of the Savannah woman who got severe burns from an acid attack. The most caustic liquids would be drain cleaner, battery acid and rust remover.

Put that on skin and boom, instant third degree burns.

The victim is a white woman and the person of interest was initially a Black man but he was cleared and is no longer that individual. 

The FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation are investigating this. The FBI botched up other events in recent times under Kash Patel. So I expect another epic fail.

But something tells me it smells like an op. A Bethany Storro incident.

Bethany Storro was the woman who self inflicted acid burns on her face and accused a Black woman of causing the injury. It generated outrage from the far right and put a target on Black women.

Bethany Storro made me question every acid attack on white women. Storro staging her attacks has me questioning Wasielewski.

She confessed to making it up because she was partially disabled and she was rejected by a guy.

The woman would served no jail time. She was given mental health treatment and eventually a book deal.

I want to give this the benefit of the doubt. Since the far right has now included this into their distractions from President Donald J. Trump's failures as a leader, they need a random crime and an allegation of it being committed by a Black person to drive a wedge issue into the public.

It's been over three weeks since someone left 46-year-old Ashley Wasielewski with third-degree burns covering half her body, and officials are trying to search for any leads to identify her attacker.

She has been released from the hospital. She is in an intensive burn center recovering.

Wasielewski had gone for a walk after attending a Christmas program at a nearby church. She was walking laps at Forsyth Park when the attack happened. Her son, Westley Wasielewski, said he learned about what happened through a phone call from a bystander who stopped to help his mother. He said he could hear her screaming in pain over the phone.

Woman attacked by caustic acid. No suspects. I want call it a hoax but that is jumping to conclusions.

From her hospital bed, Wasielewski told family and friends that she was walking along the sidewalk near the edge of the park when she noticed a shadow coming up behind her, said close friend Connor Milam. As she turned around, the person poured a liquid that police now say was acid over her head.

"She was instantly like, 'Why are you pouring water on me?' And then her skin started to burn," Milam told the Associated Press. "She looked down, and her pants were starting to burn off her body. She started screaming."

The GoFundMe page that was started for her raised nearly $300,000.

As part of the investigation, the FBI and Savannah Police are asking anyone with doorbell or security camera footage from any residences in an area near Forsyth Park between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 10.

The agency said they were specifically looking for footage focusing on pedestrian traffic during that time.

The FBI has also announced a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the attack. The agency also set up a digital tip line for photos and videos that may aid in the investigation here.

Walz Out!

So much for 2028. Tim Walz opts out a third bid for governor.

When distractions become burdens. Why did the governor of Minnesota just counter the false and slanderous rumors?

He rather just give up than stand up to some punk ass white loser from Utah who made a viral video about fictitious fraud in Somali-American daycare centers.

Nick Shirley is definitely at risk for a class action lawsuit. His pranks will only cause harm to those affected. Thus, he may end up catching a Kirk moment if he fucks with the wrong people.

Democratic-Farmer-Labor governor and 2024 vice presidential nominee Tim Walz announced he will not seek a third term. His lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan is running for U.S. Senate. Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) also is running for the seat as well.

Neither has interest in the governor seat.

Minnesota now turns to toss up.

It leaves an election denier, a Republican state speaker who has ties to Shirley and handful of white nationalists as the Republican frontrunner.

The DFL will have to scramble to find a person who will likely be a sacrificial goat.

Another senator wants to be governor apparently. That would put two U.S. Senate seats up for grabs and Trump made inroads with white voters in the Democratic leaning state.

Less than four months after announcing his reelection campaign, Walz said Monday that he could no longer devote the energy necessary to win another term, even as he expressed confidence that he could win.

Walz said in a statement Monday that he “can’t give a political campaign my all” after what he described as an “extraordinarily difficult year for our state.”

“Donald Trump and his allies – in Washington, in St. Paul, and online – want to make our state a colder, meaner place,” Walz said, referring to the Trump administration withholding funds for the programs. “They want to poison our people against each other by attacking our neighbors. And, ultimately, they want to take away much of what makes Minnesota the best place in America to raise a family.”

Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is considering running for governor, according to a person close to her. The person, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Klobuchar has not made a final decision.

No Zionists. 

Get a person who will focus on Minnesota not Israel.

Around a dozen Republicans are already in the race. They include MyPillow founder and chief executive Mike Lindell, an election denier who is close to Trump. They also include Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, of Cold Spring; Dr. Scott Jensen, a former state senator from Chaska who was the party’s 2022 candidate; state Rep. Kristin Robbins, of Maple Grove; defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor Chris Madel; former executive Kendall Qualls; and former Minnesota GOP Chair David Hann.

Walz is a military veteran and union supporter who helped enact an ambitious Democratic agenda for his state, including sweeping protections for abortion rights and generous aid to families.

Former vice president Kamala Harris picked Walz as her running mate after his attack line against Trump and his running mate, then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance (current vice presidenr) — “These guys are just weird” — spread widely.

Walz had been building up his national profile since his and Harris’ defeat in November.

He was a sharp critic of Trump as he toured early caucus and primary states. In May, he called on Democrats in South Carolina to stand up to the Republican president, saying, “Maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner.”

Through two terms as governor, Walz has moved a liberal agenda through a closely divided legislature. In his first term, he navigated a Democratic-led House and a Republican-controlled Senate that resisted his proposals to use higher taxes to boost money for schools, health care and roads. But he helped broker compromises.

He used the office’s emergency power during the COVID-19 pandemic to shutter businesses and close schools, prompting Republican pushback.

This doofus Nick Shirley and his father are at risk of a lawsuit.

Republicans also were critical of Walz over what they saw as his slow response to sometimes violent unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020.

In his second term, Walz worked with Democratic majorities in both legislative chambers to chart a more liberal course in state government, aided by a huge budget surplus. Minnesota eliminated nearly all of the state abortion restrictions enacted in the past by Republicans, protected gender-affirming care for transgender youth and legalized the recreational use of marijuana.

That, combined with Walz’s rural background and experience representing southern Minnesota in Congress, landed him on cHarris’ radar as she considered potential running mates in her 2024 presidential bid. After a whirlwind search, she opted for Walz over other candidates including North Carolina’s Roy Cooper, Kentucky’s Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Walz got a warm welcome from Democratic voters but drew mixed reviews for his lone debate against his Vance.

Minnesota has leaned Democratic in presidential and statewide contests in recent decades. Walz won his second term in 2022 by nearly 8 percentage points, but Trump narrowed Democrats’ advantage to less than 5 points in 2024.

Truly sad when a sexual predator president's actions don't result in him resigning. 

However, a conspiracy theorist can make up bullshit put millions of Minnesotans at risk of losing federal benefits, punch down on the immigrants who want to mind their business and push for the status quo. All that can make actually good people quit.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tim Walz: You chicken out when the pressure is on.

Pathetic.

Graham: You’re Days Are Numbered!

Trump and Lindsey Graham threaten Cuba, Panama, Iran, Greenland and Colombia.

While on Air Force One, President Donald J. Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee and the junk food media flew with utter caution.

The president knows that his life in danger increased over the weekend. He, Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu have targets on their backs. They know it.

Some man vandalized the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance over the weekend.

Minor issue but showing the threats on politicians lives increased since Trump returned to office.

They also showed the world that white men are the cause of the world's problems.

On Saturday, the president ordered the U.S. military and Drug Enforcement Agency to invade Venezuela and capture its president, Nicolás Maduro and wife Cilia Flores.

This was an unprecedented move. It was an illegal war crime and an unauthorized attack without Congressional oversight. Trump and Republicans (the neocons) loved it.

Those who said that we don't care about past presidents who are war criminals too, are wrong. We are questioning everything.

Oh yes, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and all the deceased past presidents have blood on their hands too. Since its establishment 250 years ago, white men lead the United States through bloodshed coast to coast and worldwide. Obama is the only Black president to have lead the country. 

That's why they want to cancel critical race theory. They know that if the truth is revealed, we would start questioning why we need all the military bases in other countries. Why are we give slave owners honors, holidays and dedication?

Delcy Rodríguez refuses to bow to American imperialism.

Why are we not following the Constitution when it comes to separation of church and state?

Why are we paying more in taxes and yet only getting little from the returns?

Why are we working more for less pay?

Why is Congress doing far less work than the American workers?

Why are we concerned with the ethics of other countries?

Our country is declining in democracy as we speak with all these nanny state laws, this punch down politics, targeting the vulnerable and eliminating the inevitable.

In 20 years, white people will decline in population. Biracial people, Hispanics and Blacks will see a significant growth come 2055.

What Trump did was what I predicted. Flew right into the second term curse. I want Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Israel to fail. And fail they shall.

This was straight up imperialism, regime change and an act of war.

Israel had launched another series of attacks in Gaza despite this farce of a damn ceasefire. The apartheid regime is preparing for another attack on Iran.

They are in negotiations with Somaliland (the unrecognized breakaway) to ethnically cleanse Gazans and West Bank Palestinians.

Graham openly warned Cuba, Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Iran and Yemen, "you're next!"

This is a showboating of a war crime.

Katie Miller, a far right agitator and wife of White House advisor Stephen Miller had posted that Greenland is next.

Delcy Rodriguez, interim president declared a state of emergency. She demands that Trump returns Maduro. Rodriguez also said that this whole thing is the work of Zionism.

Israel has major beef with Venezuela. The Maduro government and previously Hugo Chavez government declared the Israeli government a terrorist regime.

Graham said that Cuba's "days are numbered", following a U.S. military operation that Washington described as a "large-scale strike", which resulted in the abduction of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.

"Just wait for Cuba. Cuba is a communist dictatorship that has killed priests and nuns, they have preyed on their own people, their days are numbered," Graham told reporters on Sunday on Air Force One while traveling with Trump.

"We're going to wake up one day, I hope in 2026, in our backyard we're going to have allies in these countries doing business with America, not narco-terrorist dictators killing Americans," he added.

Maduro and Flores were brought to New York late on Saturday and are being held at a detention center in Brooklyn. They face U.S. federal charges tied to drug trafficking and alleged cooperation with gangs designated as terrorist organisations.

Maduro has denied the accusations, and officials in Caracas have called for the couple's release.

Cuba also announced on Sunday that 32 of its citizens were killed during U.S. intervention in Venezuela, with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel declaring January 5 and 6 national days of mourning.

Out The Greene!

It's a wrap for the controversial white nationalist Marjorie Taylor Greene.

On Monday (well technically last Friday) will be Marjorie Taylor Greene's last day in Congress. She will leave Congress a broken but independent conservative. Her years of chaos abruptly ended when the president she spent damn near six years supporting turned on her. He literally called her a "traitor" because she held him accountable to the promises that he made. Greene knew she would not survive a primary challenge if the president backed her opponent.

Now Greene will ended up a public figure who will fight like hell to prevent President Donald J. Trump and his acolytes from destroying the United States. She will marry her boyfriend Brian Glenn and soon be called Marjorie Taylor Glenn.

As the news broke the president conducted an invasion of Venezuela and apprehension of its president, Nicolás Maduro. Trump not only violated international law but went over Congress to conduct this. This whole incident is not only split among Americans but broke the precedent of respect of sovereignty.

Now any country can apprehend a foreign leader at any given time. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi have introduced her criminal indictment. It claims that Maduro is accused of distributing cocaine, machine guns and plots against the interest of the United States and its allies. These charges are a damn stretch because they will literally have prove that a foreign leader conspired with 35 million Venezuelans to cause harm to the United States. The accusations were that Maduro was a leader in the distribution of fentanyl. 

I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.

Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug…

Almost every Trump voter I see on X is so fed up they are planning a 2026 tax revolt.

And rightfully so!

It’s because Americans work their asses off, barely make ends meet, and the government consistently gives their hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries, foreign wars,…

While I normally will say the suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, the charges against Maduro and Cilia Flores are trumped up. They will find it difficult to prove their case. 

Venezuela has demanded the United Nations to hold the U.S. accountable. It will likely be brushed off like every resolution to hold Israel accountable. Hell every resolution to hold Russia accountable has not crippled the federation. In fact, it made them even more extreme as they continue to destroy Ukraine.

Greene, 51 has officially turned on Trump. She is disappointed that she worked tirelessly for nothing. She stated that Republicans need to get their act together when it comes to women and people of color. She even dropped the scary Muslim rhetoric for now. Still attacking transgender Americans and demonizing people who are not Christian.

In a statement released on X on Saturday, Greene said her three years on the Homeland Security Committee had reinforced her belief in border security while exposing contradictions in U.S. foreign and security policy.

“I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong, safe, secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America,” she said.

Greene cited fentanyl as the leading cause of drug overdose deaths in the U.S., adding: “Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S.-Mexico border.”

She argued that Mexican cartels bear the greatest responsibility for drug related deaths in the U.S., saying they are “primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.”

Questioning Washington’s foreign policy priorities, Greene asked why U.S. military action had focused on Venezuela rather than cartels operating across the southern border.

“If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?” she asked.

She also criticised the decision to pardon former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, stating: “Why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America?”

Greene claimed efforts to remove Maduro were driven by energy interests, saying: “By removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.”

She further questioned what she described as double standards in global conflicts. “Why is it ok[ay] for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan?” she said, adding: “Is it only ok[ay] if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China).”

The congresswoman said growing public anger was linked to rising living costs at home while taxpayer funds are directed abroad. “Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes… while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare… is what has most Americans enraged,” she said.

Greene argued that younger generations in particular are rejecting what she called “never ending military aggression”, concluding that neither major U.S. party currently offers solutions focused on domestic economic prosperity.

Trump has a job approval of 34%. This latest distraction will not change much. 

Republicans give him at least 80% favorably. Democrats give him 10% favorably. Independents give him 14% favorably.

Greene's departure will be in the Midway Wrap Up.

The greenlight for a potential attack on U.S. soil and it will be the fault of white men.

The cat's out of the bag. It was never about drugs. It was about oil and occupation at the behest of Israeli interest.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Joint Chief of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine (whom Trump and Hegseth labeled Raising Caine) and the aftermath of this international crisis.

This was straight up imperialism.

This is why white men cannot lead the United States as president no more. Once Trump is out of office, y'all better start vetting these replacements. 

If they back Israel, resort to neverending distractions, continue to support punch down politics, worry about the personal lives of their opponents instead of the policies put forth and were born after 1979, you cannot back them, period.

This will not sit well with America First.

Another trove of Jeffrey Epstein files were released and portions of them were heavily redacted again.

Israel has killed 20 so far and its only three days into the new year.

Protests erupted in Iran over their economy. The U.S. sanctions have stressed the Iranian people and the country has pockets of unrest. Iran claims the Israeli Mossad is trying to stir up unrest in preparation for another series of airstrikes. Iran warns if the Israelis attack, they will end all ceasefire talks and begin aggressively attacking Israel.

Three mass shootings in the United States so far. 70 people have died from gun violence.

We are at $38.5 trillion in debt.

Trump’s current job approval is 34%. This will not change it. 

The attack will accelerate the boycotts against the United States. More countries will abandon the U.S. dollar. 

The president said our tax dollars and military presence will be in Venezuela for an indefinite period.

Trump openly bragged the arrest of Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. They were abducted by the United States Armed Forces and Drug Enforcement Agency. They will be heading to New York to face criminal charges that Trump's Department of Justice imposed on him in 2020.

The whole incident sparked outrage worldwide.

While Republicans, some Democrats and these moron agitators think this was a moment of strength and leadership, the rest of us believe it was a horrible act of aggression.

How the fuck are we to call Maduro a dictator when our own fucking president is acting like one in real time?

If this was strength looks like, I can't wait til someone does it to us?

Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin are the three most hated world leaders. These white men represent a chronic problem with the status quo.

Maduro may have been hated by the West but he was loved by his people and the Global South. This will not go well when the world is seeing Israel, Russia and the United States act like this with impunity.

Trump said Saturday that the United States would run Venezuela at least temporarily and tap its vast oil reserves to sell to other nations.

The dramatic action capped an intensive Trump administration pressure campaign on the South American nation and its autocratic leader and months of secret planning resulting in the most assertive American action to achieve regime change since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Speaking to reporters hours after Maduro’s capture, Trump revealed his plans to exploit the leadership void to “fix” the country’s oil infrastructure and sell “large amounts” of oil to other countries.

Venezuela’s vice president demanded in a speech that the U.S. free Maduro and called him the country’s rightful leader.

Maduro and his wife, seized overnight from their home on a military base, were aboard a U.S. warship on their way to New York to face prosecution for a Justice Department indictment accusing them of participating in a narco-terrorism conspiracy.

The legal authority for the operation was not immediately clear, though the Trump administration described it — and earlier deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea — as necessary to stem the flow of dangerous drugs.

Trump also claimed the U.S. government would help run the country and was already doing so, though there were no immediate signs of that. Venezuelan state TV continued to air pro-Maduro propaganda, broadcasting live images of supporters taking to the streets in Caracas in protest.

“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said at a Mar-a-Lago news conference where he boasted that this “extremely successful operation should serve as warning to anyone who would threaten American sovereignty or endanger American lives.”

Maduro and other Venezuelan officials were indicted in 2020 on “narco-terrorism” conspiracy charges, but the Justice Department released a new indictment Saturday of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, that painted the regime as a “corrupt, illegitimate government” fueled by a drug trafficking operation that flooded the U.S with cocaine. The U.S. government does not recognize Maduro as the country’s leader.

Trump posted a photo on social media showing Maduro wearing a sweatsuit and a blindfold on board the USS Iwo Jima.

Early morning attack

The operation followed a monthslong Trump administration effort to push the Venezuelan leader, including a major buildup of American forces in the waters off South America and attacks on boats in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean accused of carrying drugs. Last week, the CIA was behind a drone strike at a docking area believed to have been used by Venezuelan drug cartels — the first known direct operation on Venezuelan soil since the U.S. began strikes in September.

Maduro had decried prior military operations as a thinly veiled effort to oust him from power.

Taking place 36 years to the day after the 1990 U.S. invasion of Panama that led to the surrender and seizure of leader Manuel Antonio Noriega, the Venezuela operation unfolded under the cover of darkness early Saturday as Trump said the U.S. turned off “almost all of the lights” in the capital city of Caracas while forces moved in to extract Maduro and his wife.

Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. forces had rehearsed their maneuvers for months, learning everything about Maduro — where he was and what he ate, as well as details of his pets and his clothes.

“We think, we develop, we train, we rehearse, we debrief, we rehearse again and again,” Caine said. “Not to get it right, but to ensure we cannot get it wrong.”

Early Saturday, multiple explosions rang out and low-flying aircraft swept through Caracas. Maduro’s government accused the U.S. of attacking civilian and military installations, calling it an “imperialist attack” and urging citizens to take to the streets.

This is an image of Maduro being blindfolded and handcuffed by the U.S.

The attack lasted less than 30 minutes and the explosions — at least seven blasts — sent people rushing into the streets, while others took to social media to report what they saw and heard. Some Venezuelan civilians and members of the military were killed, said Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, without giving a number. Trump said some U.S. forces were injured but none were killed.

Video obtained from Caracas and an unidentified coastal city showed tracers and smoke clouding the landscape as repeated muted explosions illuminated the night sky. Other footage showed cars passing on a highway as blasts illuminated the hills behind them. The videos were verified by The Associated Press.

Smoke was seen rising from the hangar of a military base in Caracas, while another military installation in the capital was without electricity.

Under Venezuelan law, Rodríguez would take over from Maduro. But Rodriguez made clear during a Saturday appearance on state television that she did not plan to assume power. She called for Maduro’s release and pronounced him president.

“There is only one president in Venezuela, and his name is Nicolás Maduro Moros,” she said.

Some streets in Caracas fill up

Venezuela’s ruling party has held power since 1999, when Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chávez, took office, promising to uplift poor people and later to implement a self-described socialist revolution.

Maduro took over when Chávez died in 2013. His 2018 reelection was widely considered a sham because the main opposition parties were banned from participating. During the 2024 election, electoral authorities loyal to the ruling party declared him the winner hours after polls closed, but the opposition gathered overwhelming evidence that he lost by a more than 2-to-1 margin.

In a demonstration of how polarizing a figure Maduro is, people variously took to the streets to protest his capture and celebrate it.

At a protest in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas Mayor Carmen Meléndez joined a crowd demanding Maduro’s return.

“Maduro, hold on, the people are rising up!” the crowd chanted. “We are here Nicolás Maduro. If you can hear us, we are here!”

Earlier, armed people and uniformed members of a civilian militia took to the streets of a Caracas neighborhood long considered a stronghold of the ruling party.

If the U.S. does this to foreign leaders, what does it say to the rule of law?

In other parts of the city, the streets remained empty hours after the attack, as residents absorbed events. Some areas remained without power, but vehicles moved freely.

“How do I feel? Scared, like everyone,” said Caracas resident Noris Prada, who sat on an empty avenue looking down at his phone. “Venezuelans woke up scared, many families couldn’t sleep.”

In the Chilean capital of Santiago, people waved Venezuelan flags and banged pots and pans as vehicles passed by honking at them.

In Doral, Florida, home to the largest Venezuelan community in the U.S, people wrapped themselves in Venezuelan flags, ate fried snacks and cheered as music played. At one point, the crowd chanted “Liberty! Liberty! Liberty!”

Questions of legality

Some legal experts raised immediate concerns about the operation’s legality.

Lawmakers from both political parties in Congress have raised reservations and flat-out objections to the U.S. attacks on boats suspected of drug smuggling near the Venezuelan coast. Congress has not specifically approved an authorization for the use of military force for such operations in the region.

Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said he had seen no evidence that would justify Trump striking Venezuela without approval from Congress and demanded an immediate briefing by the administration on “its plan to ensure stability in the region and its legal justification for this decision.”

Congressional leaders were not notified by the Trump administration about the military action until early Saturday morning, after it was already underway, which Secretary of State Marco Rubio said was necessary to preserve the operation’s integrity.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, called it a “decisive and justified operation that will protect American lives” and said the Trump administration was working to schedule briefings.

You Hungry For Another Road Diet?

Declining lanes for a declining city. West Third Street is going to have a road diet. It may be controversial given that Dayton has gun violence and blight issues to deal with.

On Monday, the rust belt city of Dayton, Ohio will swear in its new mayor. 

Is there hope for her or another flop ahead?

Shenice Turner-Sloss, you know why Jeff Mims lost?

He was tone deaf.

She better be ready for this.

Looks like history may repeat itself if this proposal is initiated. If the West Dayton Forward Revitalization isn't moving forward, then there's no need for this proposed road diet for West Third Street. 

Focus on gun violence in the city. Three people died on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2 in Dayton and Trotwood. Look, we need to deal with taggers, arson, vandalism, homelessness, affordability, bringing new jobs to the community and revitalize our neighborhoods.

I get it, speeding is a major issue on the city roads. But if you're that desperate to lower speeds and make unnecessary congestion on Third Street. So be it.

Just remember, it's going to affect the job approval.

Dayton needs to make the city attractive by doing less of road diets and more of bring attractions to the city.

The corridor carries about 2,000 vehicles daily. There is nothing but the West Dayton Recreation Center and the Roosevelt Elementary School. For about a mile between Abbey Avenue/Brooklyn Avenue to James H. McGee Boulevard is blight. Massive blight.

What is needed is not a road diet. What is needed is a federal grant to have the city build new homes and businesses to solve the food deserts. 

Dayton is also proposing a move for its west division of the police. The Dayton Police will move out of the old Reynolds and Reynolds building. They will relocate to Third and Abbey near the West Branch Dayton Public Library.

David Escobar, city enginer believes the decision will improve the corridor.

The project will start in 2027 if the citizens agree with the proposal.
