AMERICANS in Venezuela should “leave the country immediately” as armed militias hunt for Trump fans, authorities have urged.
Although international flights have resumed, US officials have advised citizens to “depart immediately” after the streets of Caracas have been taken over by Maduro supporters in solidarity of their toppled tyrant.
Motorbike gangs and armed security forces have wreaked havoc across the city in the aftermath of the brazen capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US forces.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is in prison, possibly for the rest of his days, and while opinions differ on whether he murdered George Floyd in 2020, the actions of Minnesota’s political leadership this week put his conviction into question, and clearly show they have no place in any further investigation of the death of Renee Good.
No sooner had Wednesday’s tragic shooting occurred, than Minneapolis mayor and famed BLM kneeler Jacob Frey came out to say it was murder! Frey didn’t wait for evidence, much of which is on video. He immediately offered up the federal ICE agent as a sacrifice to the woke gods of the Minnesota lakes.
Similarly, Gov. Tim Walz, fresh off the humiliation of ending his reelection campaign because his office failed to police massive fraud by the very Somali migrants the federal government is investigating, railed against President Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Minneapolis city council members, who are so far left that Chairman Mao might say, “Hey, slow your roll,” all condemned the ICE agent, proudly calling what is now clearly a justifiable shooting as cold-blooded murder.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, echoing Frey, said he could not be sure the government’s account was grounded in fact without an independent investigation.
The deployment of agents to Minneapolis follows Trump’s recent denunciations of Walz and his state’s large population of Somali immigrants over allegations of fraud dating back to 2020 by some nonprofit groups administering childcare and other social service programmes.
Good was shot dead just a few blocks from where George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer crushing his neck into the pavement with his knee during a videotaped arrest in May 2020. Floyd’s death sparked months of nationwide racial-justice protests during Trump’s first term in office.
Bystander video of the Minneapolis incident showed masked officers approaching Good’s Honda SUV while it was stopped at a perpendicular angle to the street, partially blocking traffic.
Masoud Pezeshkian expressed sympathy for protesters’ economic pain, but said the state must respond to “rioters.”

Hospitals across Iran are struggling to cope with a surge of patients as large-scale anti-government protests continue to spread nationwide, medical workers said. Emergency wards of multiple hospitals, including in Tehran, are reporting “bodies piled on top of one another” following a violent crackdown by security forces.
At Poursina Hospital in Rasht in northern Iran, 70 bodies were brought in on Friday night alone. A hospital source said the morgue reached full capacity, forcing staff to remove bodies to make space. “The bodies were placed on top of one another,” she said, adding that after the morgue filled up, bodies were stacked in the hospital’s prayer room.
A medic at a Tehran hospital told the BBC that many young protesters arrived with fatal gunshot wounds. “Around 38 people died, many as soon as they reached the emergency beds,” she told the BBC, adding they couldn’t even perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on them. “There were direct shots to the heads of the young people, to their hearts as well. Many of them didn’t even make it to the hospital.”
On January 3, 2026, U.S. armed forces and law enforcement extracted Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. I join President Trump in praising the men and women who led “Operation Absolute Resolve” and brought Maduro back to the United States to stand trial—all without the loss of American life.
Maduro is an indicted narco-terrorist who poisoned over 100,000 Americans. His “rap” sheet also includes involvement with transnational criminal organizations and befriending our foreign enemies like China, Iran, and Russia.
President Trump wants to fight this corruption, as do I. Operation Absolute Resolve made real progress on that front. Now people are asking, “How do we move forward?” My bill, the Americas Act, gives us that path forward.
The U.S. needs a clear plan for the Western Hemisphere that supports U.S. manufacturing, ends corruption, and counters foreign powers trying to muscle their way into our neighborhood. Look at Venezuela. Under Maduro, China was moving in fast, locking in influence while the country fell apart. If we don’t get a unified strategy together, we risk letting the Chinese Communist Party shape the future of our hemisphere instead of us.

Anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement extremists have come out of the woodwork after the lethal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, and Blaze News has exclusive footage of some of their unhinged demonstrations.
The footage shows chaotic chants and epithets tossed by dozens of activists against agents outside of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in the Minneapolis area.
‘What have you done?! What have you done?! You terrorize our community! What do you know? Bunch of cowards!’
The video was recorded by Blaze News on the ground among the protesters.
“F**k you, you fascists pigs!” yells one protester.
“You murderers!” yells another.
New York City (NYC) Mayor Zohran Mamdani has condemned pro-Hamas chants during a heated protest outside a synagogue in Queens on Thursday night. The protest was led by the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation (PAL-Awda). A report by The New York Times (NYT) said that during the protest, pro-Palestinian demonstrators chanted in support of Hamas while pro-Israel demonstrators shouted racial and homophobic slurs. The protest included chants of “Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here.”
On being asked about the protest and the slogans chanted, Mamdani told The NYT in a statement the rhetoric and displays that were seen at the protest were wrong and have no place in New York City.

The U.S. Military on Saturday launched a series of large-scale airstrikes targeting Islamic State (ISIS) positions across Syria.
These operations, conducted under the broader Operation Hawkeye Strike, involved more than 20 aircraft, including F-15E Strike Eagles, A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, AC-130J Ghostrider gunships, MQ-9 Reaper drones from the U.S. Air Force, and F-16 fighter jets from the Jordanian Air Force. Over 90 precision-guided munitions were deployed against at least 35 targets, which included weapons caches, supply routes, and other infrastructure supporting ISIS activities.
The strikes commenced around 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time and were coordinated with partner forces on the ground. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported no immediate civilian casualties or collateral damage assessments, emphasizing the actions as part of an ongoing effort to degrade ISIS capabilities and prevent attacks on U.S. and allied personnel.
Israel is on high alert for the possibility of any United States intervention in Iran as authorities there confront the biggest anti-government protests in years, according to three Israeli sources with knowledge of the matter.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene in recent days and warned Iran’s rulers against using force against demonstrators. On Saturday (Jan 10), Trump said the US stands “ready to help”.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent actions in Venezuela and his overall strategy for the Western Hemisphere should serve as a warning to all Canadians and require a more fulsome response from its political leaders, Canada’s former ambassador to the United Nations says.
Bob Rae, who finished his five-year ambassadorship last November, told Global News in an interview that the U.S. under Trump is rejecting multilateralism in favour of asserting its dominance over the hemisphere, without “any notion of legality.”

As a wave of protests swept across Iran last night, the internet was completely shut down.
I have no idea what is happening to my friends, my family, or anyone else.
My best friend Champ was at the demonstration.
I desperately hope he is safe.
Iran is a nation wanting its soul back.
The exiled son of Iran’s last shah, who has emerged as a prominent voice in the fragmented opposition, made his strongest call yet for the protests to broaden into a revolt to topple the clerical rulers.
State media said a municipal building was set on fire in Karaj, west of Tehran, and blamed “rioters”. State TV broadcast footage of funerals of members of the security forces it said were killed in protests in the cities of Shiraz, Qom and Hamedan.
Footage posted on Friday on social media showed large crowds gathered in Tehran and fires lit in the street. In one video verified by Reuters showing a nighttime protest in Tehran’s Saadatabad district, a man is heard saying the crowd had taken over the area.
“The crowd is coming. ‘Death to the dictator’, ‘Death to Khamenei’,” he said, referring to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Protests have spread across Iran since Dec 28, beginning in response to soaring inflation, and quickly turning political with protesters demanding an end to clerical rule. Authorities accuse the US and Israel of fomenting unrest.

VLADIMIR Putin has lost at least 19 generals since launching Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This staggering toll has ripped through the upper ranks of his military and laid bare the brutal cost of war at the very top.
The unprecedented losses have hollowed out Russia’s senior command, exposing a leadership crisis rarely seen in any modern conflict.
US Vice President JD Vance has launched a scathing attack on Europe’s handling of “critical” Greenland as its locals reject both Danish and US rule.
Vance told Fox News that Europe and Denmark have “not done a good job” in securing the area, claiming they underinvested in defences and failed to engage with Trump on the matter.
