U.S. forces have reportedly deployed over 10,000 troops to Puerto Rico, with additional 82nd Airborne units landing in Trinidad and Tobago, just off Venezuela’s coast. The sudden buildup has fueled speculation online that Washington may be preparing for military action against Venezuela. Some users claim the goal is to pressure or even oust Venezuelan President Maduro. Others suggest it could be part of routine training or regional exercises. Either way, tensions are rising in the Caribbean. (video)

- Make no mistake: The real reason digital ID is being pushed so aggressively in country after country, despite absolutely ZERO public appetite for it, is because CBDCs (and eventually social credit systems) can't be implemented without digital ID in place first. Since all the excuses about "convenience" and "stopping illegal migration" are fooling nobody, don't be at all surprised if, out of desperation, globalist technocrats manufacture some kind of huge global "crisis" (likely financial, some kind of "cyber attack", or both) as a pretext to impose digital ID and CBDCs as the only possible "solution".

- WOW! Democrats failed so miserably on the government shutdown even CBS is BRUTALLY calling them out now. BRENNAN: You've been critical of shutting down the government! 2018 and 2013. Here's what you said in 2018. SEN. MURPHY (D): "We shouldn't be having the discussion amidst a government shutdown, and trying to USE our nation's security and all of these federal workers and the work that they do as hostages!" BRENNAN: Aren't you doing today EXACTLY what you were criticizing then? SEN. MURPHY: No...that was long term... (video)

- America is rich in critical rare earth minerals and we must be able to responsibly mine them, in order to not only compete with China, but also for our independence and national security. President Trump and his admin are working to accomplish this however there are many obstacles such as lawsuits, environmental, and permitting issues blocking our ability to mine and process our own rare earth minerals.

- NEW: Former Congressman Dave Brat on Spanberger’s disastrous debate performance: “I think that little smirk at the end is all you need to see. The attitude, the conscious, the moral voice.. it’s just missing.” Smiling and gritting her teeth, refusing to even look at her. It was downright sociopathic. And everyone saw it live. (video)
