Venezuela

As we gather this Thanksgiving, it’s easy to take abundance for granted. Leftovers are practically guaranteed. It wasn’t always this way. For most of history, there were no Thanksgiving feasts. Hunger, if not starvation, was the norm. Today, supermarkets are stocked with exotic foods from all over the world. Most of it is more affordable than ever. Even after President Joe Biden’s 8% inflation…

While ABC, CBS, and NBC have still yet to cover the rise of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua setting up shop in U.S. cities (thanks to the Biden-Harris border policies) on their flagship morning and evening shows, the New York Post has been on it every step of the way and, on Friday, their indefatigable Jennie Taer revealed two suspected gang members have been released from custody…

The New York Times had the temerity to actually blame free markets for Venezuela’s descent down the economic cesspool under socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Coverage of the ongoing unrest in Venezuela, in the wake of dictator Nicolas Maduro’s claim to re-election via rampant fraud, was mixed at best, and left out a very significant detail: the various Biden policy failures that directly led to this moment in history.

The network evening newscasts were unsure whether to hail, cover neutrally, or condemn the latest U.S. prisoner swap with an authoritarian regime. In this case, the exchange with Venezuela’s Maduro dictatorial regime, which returned his notorious bagman, Alex Saab, in exchange for fugitive “Fat Leonard” and 10 additional hostages.

With Title 42 set to expire, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell welcomed on two former Obama officials to discuss the border crisis on her Thursday show. One of those officials was former deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes who claimed that one reason the border crisis is so bad is because the U.S. is just too mean to the communist and socialist dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela.

There’s a socialist wave in Latin America. Mexico, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil recently elected leftists. These politicians at least distance themselves from thugs like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, but all propose socialism-lite policies giving government more control over more people. Why don’t people in Latin America learn from the mistakes of the past? Gloria Alvarez, a social media…

On Monday’s episode of the White House press briefing, numerous White House reporters challenged National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby on the Biden administration’s milquetoast response to the growing and potentially seismic protests in China over the communist regime’s ongoing lockdowns and human rights abuses.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – After refusing to do anything substantive about stopping the flood of migrants entering the country illegally, President Biden has acted, sort of. Only a cynic would say his order to deport certain Venezuelans, but not migrants from 40 other nations, is timed to influence the November election. Call me a cynic.

Twitter, Facebook and YouTube allow seven dictators, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, unfettered access to post on their platforms, influencing approximately 50 million followers as of March 28. Meanwhile, former leader of the free world President Donald Trump is still banned.

On Morning Joe, NBC correspondent Marc Caputo says that Biden and the Democrats have failed to reach out to the huge Venezuelan exile community in Florida to sell the concept of lifting sanctions on Venezuela to permit the importation of oil. Caputo says that the negotiations that Biden has begun with Venezuela have gone over like a "lead balloon" with the exiles.

Politico, apparently tired of being mocked for overusing "Republicans pounced" have found a new replacement word: "pile."

Before President Biden gave a speech on Tuesday announcing the ban of Russian oil imports, the cast of At This Hour on CNN warned that gas prices will go up and that Biden has no good options to fix that problem -- as if his own policies have no impact on the situation.

Prior to Monday’s explosive post-briefing kerfuffle (which NewsBusters was able to obtain from a source), the regularly scheduled Psaki Show featured the return of Doocy Time as the Fox News correspondent battled the press secretary over who or what’s to blame for high gas prices and why there’s been, at best, an apprehension to increased domestic oil and gas production as Russia’s war on…
