For the opening message of 2026, I am going to be unkind.  George Stephanopoulos has recertified his status as a nitwit, which has been growing ever since Donald Trump entered politics.

George, who cost ABC News about $16 million dollars in legal costs last year after calling the President a rapist, is very concerned that there is no legitimate basis to justify the removal of Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro.  

Apparently, all the ABC producers who tend to George couldn’t find the time to research the story, most likely because ABC now does so many weather-related reports, the staff has fallen out of touch with real news.

If you want to know whether it was cloudy in Caracas when U.S. Special Forces grabbed Maduro, ABC is your go-to.  But if you’re looking for actual facts, keep your focus here.

On November 24, 2025, the Trump administration designated the “Cartel de los Soles” as a terrorist organization.  That means the United States can legally use military force against it.

Los Soles smuggles narcotics into the USA and does a number of other criminal things.  Nicholas Maduro is allegedly involved with the group. At least that’s what the Justice Department is alleging.

That’s the legal basis for Trump’s action against old Nick, who the CIA believes has $200 million stashed away.  Wow, who knew being the dictator of Venezuela paid so well?

Do you think George Stephanopoulos knows any of this?  I don’t.  But I could be wrong.

If so, I’ll apologize for calling George a nitwit.  It’s the least I can do.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
