Never Forget!

Waiting…

Terrible and sad. Rest in peace, Jim. 🇺🇸

SAD NEWS! 💔😢 James “Jim” Copenhaver, one of the innocent people shot during the assassination attempt at President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, has died from complications related to the injuries he suffered that day. Jim was shot twice and endured life-altering injuries, multiple surgeries, and lasting complications. Reports say he continued to live with bullet fragments in his body. He was 76. Jim’s death is a heartbreaking reminder that the consequences of that horrific day didn’t end when the gunfire stopped. Rest in peace, Jim. Prayers for his family and loved ones. 🙏🙏

Es inhumano pedirle a gente que pasa 15 horas sin electricidad en su casa, que gana 5 dólares al mes y que los 20 gramos de proteína que tenía para la semana se le están pudriendo por la falta de energía, que no proteste, que calle y que se aguante a los asesinos que les llevaron a vivir en esa situación.

Never Forget!

I want to address something that was published by Axios, quoting a senior U.S. official as saying that no election timeline has been presented because they want to prevent a new democratic government from facing protests over the economy. Respectfully, please do not insult the intelligence of Venezuelans. Approximately 85%–90% of Venezuelans despise communism, reject the dictatorship led by Delcy Rodríguez, and want a change in our country. Venezuelans know that the country has been destroyed by communism and that rebuilding and recovering the economy will take time. They understand that the responsibility for all this damage lies with 27 years of communist rule, and they are not going to take to the streets to protest against the very change they have been demanding for decades. Looking ahead to the future of U.S.-Venezuela relations, it would be far more constructive for communication to be honest, accurate, and tied to clear, tangible objectives. Otherwise, anti-American sentiment in Venezuela will only continue to grow, and I fail to see how that serves U.S. strategic interests or national security in the long term. There are many people here, myself included, who have supported stronger relations between the United States and Venezuela for more than a decade, and who were precisely persecuted by figures like Delcy Rodríguez and labeled “lackeys of the empire” for promoting these alliances. We are watching with tremendous concern as this could damage our future relationship with the United States. I sincerely hope this is taken into consideration.

Told you!

🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA Hay protestas en Venezuela en este momento en contra de la dictadura de Delcy Rodríguez. Hace más de una década el empresario chavista Alejandro Betancourt desfalcó el erario público vendiendo turbinas chatarras con sobreprecio que generaron tan solo un 20 % de la electricidad contratada; hoy millones de venezolanos sufren las consecuencias con apagones que van de 8 a 14 horas diarias.

María Corina Machado was denied three times in less than 24 hours in her latest attempts to continue her return to Venezuela. I was with her in Panama and witnessed the refusals firsthand. First, a planned two-day journey by sea was cancelled hours before departure after the company providing the boat reported a major engine failure. Then came attempts to fly through Aruba and Curaçao, which were ultimately denied. @abc_es can now reveal these were attempts five, six and seven. Since June, Machado has tried to return seven times, by air, land and sea. I also saw the special diplomatic travel document issued to her by Panama on humanitarian grounds because her Venezuelan passport is expired. Contrary to claims circulating online, it does not grant her Panamanian nationality or mean she renounced her Venezuelan citizenship. Our full account from Panama City. abc.es/internacional/maria-c…

In California, an undocumented migrant couple with an undocumented grandparent and two U.S.-born children can collect up to $100,000 per year in welfare benefits. All funded by taxpayers.

I have many thoughts on the Nikole Hannah-Jones story, especially having attended the kind of schools she sent her daughter to, but if we're looking for takeaways, here's a simple one. When an expert in education so thoroughly demonstrates a jarring and near complete lack of expertise in the act of getting an education for her own daughter, we should stop taking advice from her on curriculum, instruction, and all other fads disguised as wisdom she offers. That seems like the least we could do. Her daughter's personal struggle, which is indeed sympathetic, wasn't much of a teachable moment for her, as she doesn't seem to have updated any of her priors (and actually fudges funding facts, so as not to disrupt the narrative of under-resourced schools). But it should be a teachable moment for us, about the outsized influence of a scholar who claims to know better than anyone what her daughter would be up against in the school to which she chose to send her, but was inexplicably surprised and left her daughter completely unprepared for it.

Hemos trasladado los restos de Francisco Morazán a un nuevo mausoleo, construido especialmente para custodiarlos por siempre. El mausoleo se encuentra a un costado del Palacio Nacional, dentro del nuevo Jardín Centroamérica. Estará abierto al público a partir de mañana, jueves 24 de septiembre, a las 7pm. La entrada será gratuita.

I leave the @UN with the hope that our efforts will continue to advance the reform of this institution that the U.S. helped found. We are committed to eliminating bureaucracy, waste, and holding international institutions accountable to the American taxpayers who fund them.

Una foto habla más que mil palabras. Esta foto va a legitimar a Delcy Rodríguez ante el mundo. Sienta un precedente para que otros jefes de estado la reciban de igual a igual, como si fuera una presidenta democrática. Que ironia: Mientras Trump la recibía sonriente en Nueva York, no dejaban regresar a su Venezuela a María Corina Machado, la líder del movimiento opositor que ganó las elecciones del 2024. Una bofetada a la democracia.

Our goals are transparent: a fully demilitarized Gaza, governed responsibly by Palestinians, where people can live with dignity, opportunity, hope and peace. Much of what we presented today did not exist a year ago. Today, there is a ceasefire, the hostages are home, a Palestinian technocratic government is ready, a security and demilitarization framework has been developed, and 66 projects are ready to begin rebuilding Gaza and improving people’s lives. Grateful to our partners across the region, and to the incredible team that has worked tirelessly to transform these plans into reality. President Trump challenged us to break the old cycle and build something different. We have made real progress. Now we will move forward to the next phase.
