Machado Calls for Free Elections in Venezuela, First Remarks Since Trump Oil Deal

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado used an appearance at the Bled Strategic Forum in Slovenia on Monday to make one message unmistakably clear: Venezuela's political transition must end with free and transparent elections — and it should happen as soon as possible.

Machado's remarks were her first public comments since President Donald Trump announced Friday a sweeping new oil agreement with Venezuela that gives U.S. interests majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil reserves.

Yet Machado did not directly address the controversial agreement in her Bled speech. Instead, she focused on the political condition she has long argued must precede Venezuela's economic reconstruction: the restoration of democracy through legitimate elections.

"For democracy to be fully restored in Venezuela, free and transparent elections must be held as soon as possible," Machado said, arguing that only respect for the popular will guarantee peace and stability.

Machado is an industrial engineer with a master's degree in finance and began her political career as a founder of the vote-monitoring organization Súmate which was established in January 2002 as a non-governmental organization to defend the electoral and constitutional rights of all Venezuelan citizens.

DSA, barrelling over Democracy

Jimmy Lai the China political prisoner

Trump says Xi told him release of Jimmy Lai ‘would be a tough one’

China systematically suppresses democratic movements both domestically and abroad

After his two-day meeting in China this week, President Donald Trump said May 15 that Chinese leader Xi Jinping responded negatively when he raised the potential release of Jimmy Lai, the Catholic, pro-democracy advocate a Hong Kong court recently sentenced to 20 years in prison.

According to Reuters, Trump told journalists aboard Air Force One during his return flight to the U.S. that Xi was “giving very serious consideration” to releasing Zion Church founder Pastor Jin Mingri but indicated Lai’s case would be “a tough one.”

“He told ⁠me that would be a tough one,” Trump said.

In an interview with FOX News Channel’s “Special Report,” the President added that Xi’s response to the request “was not positive.”

Trump said that Xi “went through a whole thing and I said, ‘Well, we'd appreciate if you would release him. He's gotten old, and he's probably not ​feeling too well. It would be nice.’ And I did not feel ​optimistic. I have to be honest with you about that one,” according to Reuters.

Wikipedia: Lai Chee-ying, also known as Jimmy Lai, is a Hong Kong businessman, politician, and political prisoner. He founded the clothing retailer Giordano, the media company Next Digital, and the newspaper Apple Daily. He is one of the main contributors to Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp, especially to the Democratic Party.

Democrats and the Creator

The Numbers Explain Everything

The math is brutal for anyone hoping Democrats find religion before November

In the 2024 election, 80% of Trump voters were Christian.

Only 40% of Harris voters were.

Nearly one-fourth of every vote Kamala Harris received came from voters who identify as atheist or agnostic – more than any other single Democrat constituency, including black Americans.

Speaking at the Legacy Luncheon in Detroit, Booker went full revival preacher – minus the God part.

Democrat Senator Cory Booker is screaming at a Michigan Democrat women's event: "THERE IS A STORM IN OUR NATION! THERE IS DARKNESS AND WIND! WE NEED FOOT SOLDIERS OF DEMOCRACY! WILL YOU STAND FOR DEMOCRACY?"

"What we need is not from on high!"

He pointed his finger straight at the sky as he said it.

Booker then ended his remarks with "God bless you" – apparently unaware of the contradiction he had just created.

Keep Fighting for Western civilization

Vance and Orbán Declare War on the Globalist Left in Budapest

They lost

The Budapest rally was not a diplomatic formality.

Vance called Orbán "one of the only true statesmen in Europe" and told the arena crowd that the two nations together represent "the defense of Western civilization."

"We have got to get Viktor Orbán reelected as prime minister of Hungary," Vance told supporters to loud applause.

He put the choice to Hungarian voters directly: "Will you stand for sovereignty and democracy? Will you stand for Western civilization? Will you stand for freedom, for truth, and for the God of our fathers? Then, my friends, go to the polls in the weekend. Stand with Viktor Orbán, because he stands for you."

Vance described a worldwide conservative revolution with Washington and Budapest at its center – a movement facing what he called a "shared threat from within" in the form of far-left ideology embedded in universities, media companies, and government bureaucracies on both sides of the Atlantic.

His explicit targets: the EU bureaucrats who have withheld billions in funding from Hungary – not over genuine rule-of-law concerns, but because they hate a leader who put his own people first.

Why Democracies and Democratic Constitutional Republics always Fail

Ken LaCorte:

Socrates warned that democracy could become like a ship where the untrained passengers ignore the navigator and follow the smoothest-talking sailor. He was later killed — via democratic vote — for questioning the established order.

Again, I’m not unduly worried about the status of the United States, but there are troubling trends that none of us should ignore. Two constant refrains I found were tribalism and loss of faith, both of which are trending up, says Ken LaCorte.

The tribalism is strong already: 72 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats say the other side is “immoral.” And I can show you lots of charts about peoples’ declining trust in institutions. It’s real and it’s a problem.

Indictment of Deep State

Trump Drops A Bomb On Barack And Hillary

Obama Named in Treason Plot

President Trump isn’t holding back—and the liberal media is in full panic mode. In a bombshell Oval Office press event, Trump named Barack Obama as the “leader of the gang” behind what he called a “treasonous conspiracy” to weaponize U.S. intelligence against his 2016 campaign.

While the left-wing media scrambles to dismiss these claims as “baseless,” their hysterical reactions tell a different story. If there was nothing to hide, why are they so desperate to silence the truth?

DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s report, released Friday, has sent shockwaves through Washington. The document accuses Obama-era officials of manipulating intelligence on Russian election interference—and Gabbard didn’t stop there. She sent criminal referrals to the DOJ, with Trump promising “thousands” more documents are coming

This isn’t just vindication for Trump; it’s a direct indictment of the deep-state operatives who spent years peddling the Russia hoax. Yet, instead of demanding accountability, the liberal media is busy spinning this as a “partisan stunt.” Their bias couldn’t be more obvious.

Trump hasn’t forgotten about Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s sham investigation into his campaign. Back in March, he ordered the declassification of all related files, declaring that Americans “deserved to know how deep the rot goes.” Now, with Gabbard’s report in hand, Trump is proving this wasn’t just about him—it was an assault on democracy itself.

“What they did in 2016 and 2020 is very criminal,” Trump told reporters. “It’s criminal at the highest level.” The liberal media’s response? Crickets. Or worse—outright deflection.

Soros: Threat to Democracy

Italian PM Exposes How George Soros is ACTUALLY the Big Bad Evil Billionaire the Left Claims Elon Musk is

Ever since Tesla CEO Elon Musk came out in support of President Donald Trump the liberals around the globe have completely turned on him, attacking him relentlessly and claiming that he is a “threat to democracy.”

They’ve argued repeatedly that Musk is trying to use his considerable wealth and power to “interfere” in elections.

However, it certainly seems like the left is doing a bit of projecting there because this is more in line with what far-left Hungarian billionaire George Soros has been doing for YEARS – and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni just exposed that on the world stage.

Meloni revealed to the world that the true threat to democracy around the globe is NOT Musk as he has only financed the U.S. election, but rather the scumbag George Soros who has financed parties and associations, as well as politicians, all over the world to influence the political choices of states.

Chief Justice John Roberts speaks out

SCOTUS chief justice warns about defiance of court rulings

U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts wrote a warning in his year-end report on the federal judiciary that defiance of court rulings by elected officials and others could threaten democracy in the country.

"Within the past few years, elected officials from across the political spectrum have raised the specter of open disregard for federal court rulings. These dangerous suggestions, however sporadic, must be soundly rejected," Roberts wrote.

"Every Administration suffers defeats in the court system -- sometimes in cases with major ramifications for executive or legislative power or other consequential topics," Roberts said. "Nevertheless, for the past several decades, the decisions of the courts, popular or not, have been followed, and the Nation has avoided the standoffs that plagued the 1950s and 1960s."

For his part, President Joe Biden has advocated packing the court with more (liberal) justices to get around rulings and has repeatedly signed executive orders that went against them, such as the numerous attempts at student loan forgiveness.

MSN.com noted that Roberts typically stays away from commenting on politics and political topics, so the warning is particularly meaningful in that light.

Trump has the guts to knock on the door and negotiate

What will foreign policy be like under Trump II?

Biden-Harris hand over of a weakened global deterrence, with major wars in the heart of Europe and at hotspots in the Middle East, including Israel attacking on the ground inside southern Lebanon again for the first time since 2006. Iran is ever-closer to being a nuclear threshold state, and no one has talked to North Korea for four long years. American troops are on the ground in Israel.

There is increased Chinese provocation in Asia. Yet Joe Biden’s China policy is unnecessarily adversarial, impractical, and dangerous. China was artificially reimagined as an enemy-in-a-box as the wars of terror sputtered out.

Biden envisions China as an autocratic foe for democracy to wage a global struggle against. “On my watch,” Joe said, “China will not achieve its goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, and the most powerful country in the world.” (As if they had asked.)

Biden went on to claim the world was at an inflection point to determine “whether or not democracy can function in the 21st century.” In Biden’s neo-Churchillian view, the U.S. and what the heck, the whole free world he believes he is president of, are in a deathmatch with China for global hearts and minds.

As for Term II, Trump makes clear wrapping up the war in Ukraine is a top priority, going as far as to promise to end it in the months between being reelected in November and Inauguration Day in January.

While that timetable may not be possible (because, among other things, Citizen Trump would be violating the Logan Act by conducting diplomacy on behalf of the United States) it does make it crystal clear that Trump will not continue to feed weapons and money into the meat grinder outside Kiev that seems to produce no positive results.

Elon on Democrats Expediting Illegals into our country

Elon Musk @elonmusk

Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!

Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.

The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!

Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.

America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.

The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.

Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.

Argentine President Javier Milei expressed total support for Israel

President Milei of Argentina Condemns UN for Anti-Israel Bias

Milei denounces the UN’s stance on Israel while pledging unwavering support for the Jewish state

In a powerful address at the United Nations General Assembly, Argentine President Javier Milei sharply criticized the international body for its persistent bias against Israel.

Speaking at the 79th session in New York, Milei, a staunch supporter of the Jewish state, condemned the UN for consistently voting against Israel, “the only democracy in the Middle East, which protects liberal democracy,” he declared.

The libertarian leader further rebuked the UN for its inability to tackle global terrorism. “In this same house that purports to defend human rights, we have also included bloody dictatorships in the Human Rights Council, including Cuba and Venezuela, without reproach,” Milei remarked, highlighting what he sees as hypocrisy within the international organization.

Democrats and their Hypocritical Blame-Game

A Pathetic and Anti-American Attempt to Silence Elon

Shocking! Bill Clinton’s Former Labor Secretary Want’s Elon Musk Jailed!

Using power to silence opponents

It’s absolutely laughable how the left operates these days.

Take Robert Reich, for example, former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton. Reich, in his infinite wisdom, recently penned a column attacking Elon Musk, calling him “out of control” and claiming he needs to be reined in.

This, coming from a man who served in one of the most corrupt administrations in recent history, is nothing short of hypocritical. But it gets worse.

Reich’s entire argument against Musk reeks of the left’s typical double standards. If Elon Musk were a mouthpiece for the left, there would be no such backlash—no calls for regulation, no threats of arrest, nothing. It’s the ultimate hypocrisy, and frankly, it’s disgusting.

Democrats really want America to be a Banana Republic, not a democracy.

Democrats want Green Party candidate off the ballot

Democrats File Complaint to Keep Jill Stein Off Wisconsin Ballot

The Democratic National Committee is really spooked about the prospect of going up against independent and third-party candidates this year.

You’ve probably heard about the many lawsuits filed by the DNC against independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., so you may not be surprised to learn that a member of the DNC has now filed a complaint designed to remove Green Party candidate Jill Stein from the ballot in Wisconsin.

The Associated Press revealed on August 14 that a lawsuit filed by the DNC member argues that the Green Party is ineligible to run in Wisconsin. It matters, too; Wisconsin is typically won by just several thousand votes, and removing the Green Party candidate could give a huge advantage to the Democrats over the Republicans. In the last six presidential elections, the state has been won by a candidate with a margin as slim as 5,700 at the lowest and 23,000 at the highest.

Now imagine in 2024 if that margin is even smaller…you see why the Democrats want her off the ballot, right?
