Maduro has allegedly been planning for a long time to invade his neighbour, Guyana. The Barima-Waini region and the Cuyuni-Mazaruni region are rich in gold, diamonds and oil, and there is oil off the coast as well. In that sense, Guyana is probably lucky that Trump has set his evil eye on Maduro.

It could be a collection bag for a stoma, which might explain the odours people attribute to him. Personally, I think he carries an extra-large box of Tic Tacs, for the, you know, kissing and pussy grabbing opportunities he has now that he is the biggest star.

I now read that Trump is waffling again on the subject of those Tomahawk Missiles. I suspect Donald has been on the phone again with his bff Vlad. I can picture him in bed, under his blanket, whispering endearments.
The suspense must be awful for the Ukrainians.

Those power boats on the high seas north of the Venezuelan coast are certainly not fishing boats. The US Navy could and should easily intercept and search (and provide proof).

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards!

I like that:

Keep calm and Carney on.

I wish I could come up with a slogan like that!

Great cartoon by Theo Moudakis

The despicable far-right Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, is mocking Hamas prisoners. Ben Gurion and Golda Meir are turning in shame in their graves over this rabble-rouser's behaviour.

Now Donald Trump is turning the screws. After frustration over a lack of progress to end the war in Ukraine, the US president announced new sanctions on two of Russia’s biggest oil companies on Wednesday.
Could this mean that there is no golden shower tape?
