We reflect on the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro, a deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota, and what responsible power looks like in a polarized country. We weigh deterrence abroad, rule of law at home, and the role of faith, media, and policy in restoring trust.
• limited, targeted use of force in Venezuela
• deterrence versus forever wars
• international law, sovereignty, and enforcement
• Minnesota ICE shooting and dual truths of grief and law
• polarization driven by media ecosystems and algorithms
• War Powers debate and constitutional roles
• leverage through energy, allies, and signaling
• defense waste, fraud, and smarter strength
• Virginia amendments on abortion, marriage, voting, maps
• faith, prayer, and the witness of martyrdom
Go to church, read your Bible, evangelize the people
