Good news! The stock market is up!

Oil-related stocks held eight of the 10 leading positions on the S&P 500 in Monday's early trade. Refiner Valero Energy (VLO), and oil services leaders Halliburton (HAL) and Schlumberger (SLB) led the early gains, all trading up more than 7%. Chevron (CVX) topped the Dow Jones Industrial Average, up more than 6%.

Its just a matter of installing the right completely complicit puppet government now.

The perspective leaders need oil investment portfolios, not drug bribes. They need to pivot their narco-corruption to crony capitalism. The western way to obscene fotune..

For now, many Venezuelans really are too happy to care. They think we are going to transition their government to the person they actually elected, or at least someone of their choosing. So we need to promote someone they also think they are choosing.

And then pretend/hope this will stop at Venezuela. The muslims wont be as easy as the catholics that already largely disliked their government.

I will never say "yay" to any government/military action as long as corruption remains a key (yet ignored) underlying issue

My problem with Trump is he isn't clean therefore, not trustworthy 

I'd be just as critical if this was done by Biden, Obama, Clinton or any other Democrat administration 
Conservatives would be critical, too

Biden had to pardon his entire family from crimes committed while he was in office, were you critical of that too.  I didn’t hear the usual whining from the left when he did.

I knew you'd get a kick out of that. lol

They haven't proved anything yet, have they? It was back in Dec. 2024 it is now Jan. 2026.

More smear campaigns by the looks of it.

"Ocasio-Cortez had dismissed concerns about the two December 2024 payments and seemingly implied they were campaign expenses, which the watchdog argued supports its case that the funds were misappropriated.“100% wrong. None of this is taxpayer money, this is an FEC filing. Be loud and wrong about something else. Try again next time,” she wrote on X Saturday in response to a critique."

You could’ve stopped at AOC says…..she’s always on the wrong side of history, she just rants a lot.  Feel the noise

[KrustyKrab]

Watch it, your post count will rise substantially if you start calling out the BS here. lol

And there go trying to discredit others with a self validating post.  

You going to be doing this all day….again?

Will Biden or anyone in his administration be arrested the same way Maduro was?

Maybe your government should go after the rare earth minerals, instead?

"Mukesh Sahdev, Founder CEO & Chief Oil Analyst at energy markets consultancy XAnalysts, says there's been a lot of "hot talk and wrong analysis" on the significance of Venezuela's oil reserves. He says chemistry matters more in analyzing the oil market impact of the nation's political uncertainty. He also explains China's role in stabilizing oil markets. (Source: Bloomberg)"

Watch Venezuela Oil Too Heavy to be Desired, Analyst Says - Bloomberg

Venezuela's oil is too heavy to produce says analyst and China's EV industry it taking off. The world is starting to need less oil, gas, diesel, etc.

The winners are in the medium sour oil in the Middle East, says analyst.

China prepared itself for this situation. No impact on China.

They should be. Do you think an attorney is really going to go after someone that’s been pardoned for a crime that they’ve committed?  Hunter comes to mind…..

Thats completely different, says the Democratic flock

I could've done a lot of things, but in the end I make the choice. I don't know whether she is right or wrong, I haven't bothered to pay attention much. If she runs for President, then I'll pay attention.
