a COMPLETELY mad man runs the white house....

Guests at the White House Christmas reception fell silent Sunday as President Donald Trump veered way off topic to deliver a cozy holiday tale about … poisonous snakes?

“Tale” is probably giving him too much credit. During his address, 79-year-old Trump turned his attention to Peru, which he said “is known to be a rather rough place in terms of physical creatures crawling around.” 

“Twenty-eight thousand people die a year from a snake bite, a certain snake. It’s a viper. It’s said to be the most poisonous snake in the world,” Trump said. “But the venom rarely works, it’s so powerful, the snake. It’s said to be the most poisonous. That, the black mamba, the brown mamba, and the viper from Peru.”

Trump tried to explain that he was telling this “story” because his son Donald Jr. was sitting in the audience, but he didn’t end up telling any story at all. 

“And so, he’s being read his rights and his—this is, they thought he was dead three times, three different times, they carried him out, feeding him the anti-venom, and over a period of months he was unconscious for a long time, many weeks, and he made it. I asked him, ‘How ya doing today?’ And he said, ‘Is it perfect?’” the president rambled incoherently. 

Suddenly, Trump seemed to notice that he’d lost his audience. 

“Look how quiet everybody is,” the president said. “You know, it’s funny when you talk about snakes and things like that, people find it interesting.” 

Interesting? No. Deeply concerning? Yes.

Conservative US journalist Tucker Carlson has suggested that President Donald Trump could be preparing to announce military action on Venezuelan soil, while stressing that his information is limited and unconfirmed.

Asked on the Judge Napolitano podcast on Wednesday whether Trump was “going to start a war in Venezuela,”Carlson said he had been told by a member of Congress that lawmakers were briefed about a potential conflict.

“What I know so far is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming, and that it’ll be announced in the address to the nation tonight at nine o’clock,” he said. “Who knows if that will actually happen? I don’t know.”

However, in his prime-time address Trump focused almost entirely on domestic issues, highlighting his administration’s achievements in fixing the “mess" inherited from his predecessor, while making no mention of Venezuela, Ukraine or other international crises.

Putin: "European Little Pigs" /Larry Johnson & Lt Col Daniel Davis

 

Larry Johnson argues that the war in Ukraine was initiated by internal Ukrainian forces backed by the West, not Russia, and that Russia initially sought to resolve the conflict through diplomacy (the Minsk agreements) before turning to military action after feeling deceived. Putin’s increasingly harsh language toward Europe—calling it subservient to the United States—signals growing disdain and confidence rather than frustration.

According to the analysis, Russia now holds a clear military advantage due to expanded mobilization, numerical superiority, and steady territorial gains, especially in recent weeks. Western and Ukrainian claims that Russia is weakening are dismissed as propaganda aimed at keeping Western financial and political support flowing. On the ground, Ukraine is described as overstretched, suffering heavy losses, and lacking reserves along a very long front line.

Russia’s strategy is portrayed as patient, attritional, and time-oriented, contrasting with what is described as Western impatience. The speaker contends that Russia is advancing faster than before, particularly in areas lacking strong Ukrainian defenses, and that casualty ratios strongly favor Russia.

Diplomatically, Russia is said to believe a negotiated settlement is still possible but warns that delaying talks will raise the eventual cost to Ukraine. If the war continues, the speaker predicts Russia will eventually seize major cities including Kyiv, Odessa, and Mykolaiv, cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea, and leave the country economically nonviable. In that scenario, neighboring countries may reclaim historically contested territories. Overall, the conclusion is that Ukraine’s future is bleak unless it accepts a negotiated settlement soon.

Bill To Block Trump From Launching War With Venezuela Fails in the House
The House also killed a War Powers Resolution aimed at stopping Trump's bombing campaign against alleged drug boats

by Dave DeCamp | December 17, 2025 at 6:25 pm ET | Venezuela

The House on Wednesday voted down a War Powers Resolution meant to block President Trump from launching a war with Venezuela without congressional authorization, as required by the Constitution.
The bill failed in a vote of 211-213, with nine representatives not voting. Just three Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the bill: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), and Don Bacon (NE). One Democrat, Henry Cuellar (TX), voted against the legislation.
The legislation would have directed the president to remove “United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.”
Before the Venezuela bill, another War Powers Resolution aimed at stopping President Trump’s bombing campaign against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific Ocean also failed. That bill failed in a vote of 210-216, with two Republicans (Massie and Bacon) voting in favor and two Democrats (Ceullar and Vicente Gonzalez (TX) voting against.
The votes came a day after President Trump declared a “complete and total blockade” on “sanctioned” tankers going into and leaving Venezuela, an action that’s widely considered an act of war under international law. President Trump and his top officials have also been clear that their goal is regime change.
“Do we want a miniature Afghanistan in the Western Hemisphere?” Massie, a co-sponsor of the bill, asked on the House floor before the vote.
“If that cost is acceptable to this Congress, then we should vote on it as a voice of the people and in accordance with our Constitution,” Massie continued. “And yet today, here we aren’t even voting on whether to declare war or authorize the use of military force. All we’re voting on is a War Powers Resolution that strengthens the fabric of our Republic by reasserting the plain and simple language in the Constitution that Congress must decide questions of war.”
Several polls in recent months have found that the idea of the US going to war with Venezuela is extremely unpopular among Americans.
