Champs! 2 sweeps in Kansas City!

This article is from June of this year….old news. All who are guilty of wrong doing in the Epstein Files need to be exposed and prosecuted including Trump.

Trump’s been signaling a return to Monroe Doctrine since his first term. That’s why he’s been pressuring Europe to spend more on their own defense. That’s pure MD philosophy. Like I said, people just can’t seem to connect the dots. I’ll admit to having a little advantage in some government activities. But, it should be becoming pretty clear to all by now with a minimal amount of effort.

I have read some on the subject, but you explained it better than what I was reading.

Basically, Venezuela owns natural resources of crude. They weren't capable of refining it and turning it into petroleum products--including oil. So, they arranged business agreements and leases with American oil companies. Venezuela supplied the crude to the American refiners and made their money off those sales. The American refiners did their refining, and produced the petroleum products and derivatives. At that point, the resulting products were owned by the respective refiners. The assets used to produce said products were owned by the refiners, and the land they sat on was under contract to them as a long-term lease. Venezuela seized those assets, and the resulting products and technology when their economy was in a shambles. They broke the land leases. The refiners weren't compensated for their value, and still haven't been to this day. The oil in the tankers is refined by the seized refineries. Technically, it belongs to the refiners until they've been fairly compensated. The Trump Administration has also--apparently--been tracking 30-40 tankers that are violating sanctions against Iran, and these first 2 tankers are among those violating the sanctions. Trump--and media chatter boxes--are conflating different things. First, crude is the natural resource owned by the Venezuelan people--not the refined petroleum product if it came from a seized refinery. Second, the only reason oil is in the conversation is because it's being used as leverage to remove Maduro's regime, which is very friendly with China and Russia, and the Trump Administration is trying to block any further advances by those militaries into our direct hemisphere. He is using any justification necessary to accomplish this goal. Personally, it would be easier to just stick with the sanctioned oil being sold to help fund the drug cartels via government proxy story, and be honest about removing Maduro and why. Yes, drugs are a major reason. But, also explain to the American people the advances by Russia and China. Most aren't aware at all. Some media--and others--are too shallow thinking to see these issues even though the renewal of the Monroe Doctrine was just verbalized a couple of weeks or so ago. They only focus on the oil angle, and can't even get that part right. NOTE: No AI was harmed or used in the creation of this post. Merely a brain and experience.

Just because he felt like it!! Excellent! @thetragichippy

WOW. Seems like you’re very excited. Are you saying that you coached a few of these players?

I just don’t understand why anti-Trumpers on the fraud investigations just don’t say, “Good, if there is fraud going on it should be found and fixed, and those responsible go to jail.” I can only go on what I have witnessed, and I remember folks selling foodstamps for 50 cents on the dollar…..they have cards now, and I can think of several ways to turn that balance on the card to cash…. So, I personally think there is fraud in every government handout, and even if it is a small percent, investigating and fixing the problem will reroute that money to someone who actually needs it.

🤦‍♂️

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were speaking in general terms and not directing that to someone personal. It would far serve this forum for you to debate the facts. We all can agree to disagree.

I don’t have 30 years in the business, but I do know the U.S. has shown countries worldwide how to extract crude, refine it, while building the actual refineries for them. I’m sure it has hit them deep in their pockets, but I have never purchased Citgo gas. Lol

Here ya go. Musk says there are ~20 million fraudulent SS numbers. Some, not all, are receiving payments. But this is where the fraud comes into play: Our SS number is our defacto national ID. ALL payments, medicare and medicaid for example, uses a SS number to "validify" an individual to receive payments. He said there are many that are 300 years old. Plus, there are many that are born in the future with birthdates like 2100. There are hundreds of government programs that can be exploited so long as the SS database says this person is alive. So, he said why the Dems are opposed to declaring someone dead who is dead is because it would stop all the other fraudulent programs from happening. Why? Because it would turn off the money magnet for all the illegals. All you have to do to stop this is to call these people with impossible birthdays. Call them and say, we seem to have your birthday wrong. It says you are 200 years old. Once you realize it's fraudulent then you remove that SS number. Now all the fraudulent payments associated with that number goes away. Musk says there hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in fraudulent payments. @Big girl @UT alum @Boyz N Da Hood Thoughts?!

Are you calling me delusional?

A person who lies and has others to agree with the lies to an extent that fogs their reality can be described as delusional. I’ll leave it there. Have a blessed day sir.

I didn't vote. You also need to learn the difference--as do the writers of the articles you're posting--between crude and oil. They're vastly different animals. Perhaps you may be wise to listen to someone that was in the business for 30+ years, and also has experience and history in the region. First-hand knowledge your AI answers can't provide.

You are definitely MAGA. Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. AI Overview No, Venezuela is not American land; it's a sovereign South American country, but recent political tensions, particularly from the Trump administration in late 2025, have involved claims that Venezuela "stole" U.S. oil and assets, leading to threats of blockades and intensified rhetoric, though these claims lack basis in international law . Venezuela became independent from Spain in 1830, and while U.S. companies had major oil interests before nationalization, international law affirms Venezuela's ownership of its resources.

I'm not MAGA, and you can't even seem to read your own articles. I'll waste no more time on you.

You as a MAGA are in denial. [Hidden Content]

Again...clueless. You're as bad as the 'news' you quote. Oil is the end to a means. Yes. Venezuela seized American assets of Exxon & Conoco Phillips. But, that's the side show. The purpose is to get China & Russia's influence out of the Western Hemisphere where they've made steady inroads into South & Central America while U.S. Administrations have been stupidly focused elsewhere. Thus, a renewed focus on Monroe Doctrine principles--which means more focus on the Americas & Caribbean, and less on Europe. Reagan was the last POTUS to really focus on this in recent history. Americans have forgotten (or never knew) how close communism came to overtaking much of Central America in the 80's. No lie from Trump on this one. Venezuela has stolen U.S. oil, land, and assets since Chavez. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt on the 'baiting.' I was wrong.

His legacy will be a safe border, one of most important responsibilities of the federal government. That will stand until the next democrat is elected.

The moment for CE KIng especially early was just too big.....they ALMOST climbed back in it before half, but the pick six ended it...

Trump has said that Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Just another lie. Trump, on Dec. 18, told NBC News ([Hidden Content]) that a war between America and Venezuela is possible while not-so-slyly hinting that his focus on that country's oil was linked to the potential for regime change there. He sounded more like a venture capitalist plotting a corporate takeover than an American president looking out for his country.
