Some people are losing their minds over what’s happening in Venezuela. Team Trump is interested in oil. However, Venezuela has been ground zero for multiple bad actors in recent years. China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba all have their nose in Venezuela. While the U.S. is blowing up narco boats in the Caribbean, it’s difficult to see Americans having sympathy for the deaths of drug dealers ruining lives, families, and communities in America.

Stew Peters of Stew Peters Television had an ignorant response to Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Huckabee did an interview in late November. Peters called Huckabee a heretic for defending Christianity’s connection to Judaism.
