Special ops buildup?

As President Donald J. Trump has said, the US has deployed ‘the greatest armada ever seen’ in Latin America to fight drug trafficking and effectively topple Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

But new military assets are still being added to the formidable force.

Yesterday (24), we learned that the US military ‘has moved a large number of special-operations aircraft, troops and equipment into the Caribbean’.

The new arrivals up the pressure, as Trump decides if he will undertake military action to depose Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/romanias-globalist-regime-goes-full-police-state-masked/

Romania’s globalist-controlled government, widely seen as illegitimate after canceling the first round of the last presidential election and barring frontrunner Călin Georgescu, has crossed yet another chilling line as disturbing revelations emerge from inside Rahova prison.

What is unfolding looks less like justice and more like a coordinated campaign of intimidation against national-conservative figures who refuse to bow to thuggish globalist power.

Horațiu Potra, a key defendant in a politically charged case aimed at Romanian conservative, anti-globalist circles surrounding Călin Georgescu, winner of Romania’s last presidential first round, was brutally assaulted in his cell late at night, reports from the Romanian news outlet Realitatea has revealed.

U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said, “Cholo Abdi Abdullah was a highly trained al-Shabaab operative who was dedicated to recreating the horrific September 11 terrorist attacks on behalf of a vicious terrorist organization.” Continue…

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/china-sanctions-us-defense-firms-executives-over-record-taiwan-arms-sales-red-line

After sounding the constant warning that Washington is "playing with fire" in continually arming and supporting self-ruled Taiwan, China's foreign ministry announced Friday new sanctions on ten individuals and 20 American defense companies, mostly notably among them Boeing, specifically in response to American arms sales to Taiwan.

The ministry described that the sanctions freeze any assets that the listed people and firms hold in China and prohibit Chinese organizations and citizens from conducting business with them, and singled out Boeing's St. Louis-based defense branch, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and L3Harris Maritime Services - among others.

Also on the list is Palmer Luckey, the founder of defense firm Anduril Industries. The sanctioned executives are barred from traveling to mainland China, as well as Hong Kong and Macau. Continue…

Pax Germanica

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pax-germanica

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz last week decried the end of Pax Americana and declared that Germany will fill the void:

“The decades of Pax Americana for Europe and Germany are largely over for us. It no longer exists as we knew it. Nostalgia will not help us, and I would be the last person to give in to this nostalgia. This is a reality! The Americans are now very fiercely defending their interests. And that is why we must now defend our interests.”

What were the first acts in defending those interests? Germany approved a nearly $60 billion spending package—believed to be the largest in post WWII German history— that provided aboost to defense stocks, which have begun to come down slightly from their record highs. And on Friday the EU approved 90 billion euros in joint debt in an attempt to keep Project Ukraine limping along. Continue…

All We Want For Christmas Is A Return To Civility

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/all-we-want-christmas-return-civility

For many folks raised in the northern United States and Canada, the Christmas season evokes vivid childhood memories: fresh snowfalls, frosted windowpanes, the scent of a pine tree in a warm living room, and neighbourhoods aglow with coloured lights against the early evening darkness.

We recall midnight carol services followed by exciting Christmas mornings, the thrill of unwrapping a new pair of skates, and the delicious aroma of a roasting turkey.

For almost everyone, Christmas was a season of goodwill—a time when families reunited, neighbours dropped by for eggnog, and communities felt briefly stitched together by shared customs rather than pulled apart by grievance. Those memories help explain why Andy Williams’s early 1960s hit could so confidently proclaim, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”

Such fond recollections now sit in sharp contrast to the Decembers we inhabit today. Continue…

Jimmy Kimmel Attacks Trump, Warns of ‘Tyranny Booming’ in Christmas Address on UK TV: ‘We Won, the President Lost’

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/12/26/jimmy-kimmel-attacks-trump-warns-of-tyranny-booming-in-christmas-address-on-uk-tv-we-won-the-president-lost/

A comfortably smug Jimmy Kimmel sent a personal message to UK television viewers saying “tyranny is booming over here” when he delivered a fireside chat across the pond on Christmas Day.

The left–wing, late-night host was chosen to give an “alternative Christmas message” on Channel 4 to counter the British monarch’s much-viewed annual televised address, as Breitbart News reported.

The channel began a tradition of airing an alternative Christmas message in 1993. Channel 4 said the message is often a thought-provoking and personal reflection pertinent to the events of the year.

Kimmel was chosen after the presenter’s ABC talk show was yanked off air in September after he made despicable comments about slain conservative icon and free speech martyr Charlie Kirk.

He also poked fun at President Donald Trump comments about White House ballroom renovations after being asked about Kirk’s murder.

“You may have read in your colorful newspapers my country’s president would like to shut me up because I don’t adore him in the way he likes to be adored,” he said, per the Los Angeles Times.

He attributed the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live! to the “millions and millions of people” he claims fought to get him back on the air in the name of free speech.

Kimmel offered his UK audience no evidence to support the claim of “millions and millions of people” stood with him.

“And because so many people spoke out, we came back. Our show came back stronger than ever. We won, the president lost, and now I’m back on the air every night giving the most powerful politician on Earth a right, and richly deserved, bollocking,” he said in a nod to the British slang for scolding.

Edmonton man dies in hospital ER while waiting to see doctor

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/edmonton-man-dies-in-hospital-er-while-waiting-to-see-doctor/70034

Sreekumar's blood pressure continued to rise, and just seconds after finally being called in for treatment, he passed away of what appeared to be a cardiac arrest.

On December 22, an Edmonton man was rushed to the emergency room by a client after experiencing serious chest pains at work.

Just hours later, 44-year-old Prashant Sreekumar was dead.

According to Global News, upon arriving at Grey Nuns Hospital, Sreekumar checked in at triage and was sent to the waiting room. When his father, Kumar Sreekumar, pulled up a short time later, he told him and the the the pain was a 15 out of 10. Staff were informed as well.

An electrocardiogram was performed, which came back with no issues. As a result, he was told to sit tight and given a Tylenol.

Over the following eight hours, Sreekumar's blood pressure continued to rise, and just seconds after finally being called in for treatment, he passed away of what appeared to be a cardiac arrest.

Along with his father, Sreekumar leaves behind a wife and three children. He was a beloved member of the community, as well.

In a statement to Global News, Grey Nuns Hospital's parent organization Covenant Health said it would not comment on the case, but that it is before the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

"We offer our sympathy to the patient's family and friends," Covenant Health added. "There is nothing more important than the safety and care of our patients and staff."
