Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump is rising in the polls, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Just so you know what you’re looking at here, let me break it down for you. Liberal news organ ABC News took a poll among likely voters for the time period of October 24-27, and it showed Trump up by 7 points and Crooked Hillary down by 3. That’s a 10 point increase for Donald Trump, all that happening before the game-changing announcement by the FBI on reopening the investigation on Crooked Hillary and her illegal emails. Bazinga!
Donald Trump is now at 45 percent with likely voters, up seven points from his low of 38 percent earlier in the month. Hillary Clinton is at 47 percent while Gary Johnson is at four percent and Jill Stein is at two percent.
Newt Gingrich: Trump is likely ahead in the polls
That marks a seven point jump for Donald Trump in just four days. Trump’s opponent Hillary Clinton has seen her numbers drop three points in the same time period, making a 10 point swing in Trump’s favor.
According to the poll, Republicans appear more energized, as 81 percent of registered Republicans signaled that they are likely to vote, up six points from last week.
Eighty-six percent of Republicans now support Trump, up from 82 percent last week, and 84 percent of Republican leaning independents are now supporting Trump, up six points from last week.
The poll was conducted Oct. 24-27 among a random national sample of 1,148 likely voters with a margin of error 3 points. Partisan divisions are 37-29-29 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents. source
President Trump told the nation earlier today that the US would now take over running Venezuela, and control its oil calling the the ‘Donroe Doctrine’
President Trump stepped to the microphones on January 3, 2026 and said the quiet part out loud: the United States would run Venezuela during a “transition,” and would “get the oil flowing.” That’s not “foreign policy.” That’s the language of occupation, the kind of talk you hear right before lawyers start arguing about “authority,” “stability,” and “temporary measures” that have a way of becoming permanent.
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”James 4:1 (KJB)
And here’s the part you can’t miss: the oil isn’t a side-note in this story, it’s a theme. Reuters reported Trump saying U.S. oil companies are ready to invest billions to revive Venezuela’s oil sector after Maduro’s capture, while the U.S. military would stay “until demands are fulfilled.” Another report describes Venezuela’s oil infrastructure as decayed and difficult to revive quickly, meaning this isn’t a “weekend project” — it’s a long entanglement. For all of you MAGA followers an QAnon supporters, if Barack Obama and Joe Biden were doing what Trump is doing right now, would you still be cheering as loudly as you are now? Would you even be cheering at all? No, you would be denouncing it and demanding they stop. Trump is just getting started with the upcoming series of wars and military campaigns he has planned, so get ready for war, and lots of it.
Trump says US will ‘temporarily’ run Venezuela, ‘not afraid of boots on ground’ if necessary
FROM THE NY POST: “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said at a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort as he provided new details on the stunning military operation.
“We’re going to run it, essentially” through the transition, he said.
The logistics of a US-run Venezuela were still being worked out, but Trump said it might involve military “boots on the ground.”
BREAKING NEWS: President Trump announces the United States will seize control of Venezuela and all of its oil for the foreseeable future, and will do so with boots on the ground. In short, a complete military takeover of a foreign nation. #donroedoctrinepic.twitter.com/xIUsNhF0hm
“We’re not afraid of boots on the ground if we have to,” the president said. “We had boots on the ground last night, at a very high level, actually.”
Later, Trump added, “We’re going to have a presence in Venezuela as it pertains to oil.”
In a strong assertion of US national prerogative in the hemisphere, Trump said he had one-upped the Monroe Doctrine of the nation’s early history. “They now call it the Donroe Doctrine,” Trump quipped, while flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
He brushed off questions about the US’s record of running countries in Latin America over the last century and even whether it was consistent with his “America First” mantra. “We’re going to run the country right, it’s going to be run very judiciously, very fairly,” Trump said. READ MORE

Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has been ‘captured and flown out of the country’ to stand trial in the United States, Donald Trump has said.
On our Podcast yesterday, we asked a question. We wanted to know why the man who calls himself the ‘president of peace’, Donald J. Trump, was at the same time creating a Department of War, appointing a Secretary of War, if peace was his goal. In the early morning hours of Day 3 of 2026, we have our answer. Donald Trump is the war president, and Venezuela is his first stop.
“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.”Psalm 55:21 (KJB)
The reports coming over the wire are showing that Maduro has been captured, leaving Venezuela a leaderless nation, just waiting for some nation like the United States, or Russia, to swoop in and take control. As exciting as the headlines are right now will pale in comparison to what will come in the aftermath. Just for fun, I went to AI and asked this question, “What is it called when one nation launches a military strike on another sovereign nation and captures their leader?” This is how it responded.
When one nation launches a military strike against another sovereign nation and captures that nation’s leader, the act is generally described using a combination of established terms rather than one single universal label. The most accurate terms are:
1. Act of War
This is the broad and primary classification.
A direct military strike against another sovereign state constitutes an act of war, regardless of the stated justification.
2. Invasion
If armed forces enter the territory of the other nation, it is an invasion.
Capturing the leader during such an operation does not change this classification.
3. Regime Change Operation
When the purpose (explicit or implicit) is to remove or neutralize the ruling government or head of state, it is often described as a regime change operation—especially in political, diplomatic, or historical analysis.
4. Decapitation Strike
In military doctrine, targeting and capturing (or killing) a nation’s leader is called a decapitation strike.
This term emphasizes the removal of leadership to cripple command, control, and morale.
5. Violation of Sovereignty
In international law and diplomatic language, such an action is described as a violation of national sovereignty, unless conducted with:
UN Security Council authorization, or
The consent of the nation involved (which is rare in such cases)
6. Kidnapping / Unlawful Seizure of a Head of State
If done without international legal authority, the capture of a sitting leader may also be framed legally as:
Unlawful detention, or
Abduction of a head of state
In short, Trump has launched what looks like for all the world, an ‘unauthorized military action’ against Venezuela after months of attempting to provoke them into open war. Congress did not vote, the Senate was not consulted, and the American people had no say in the matter. Prediction? Buckle up, Christian, wars and rumours of war have begun.
US ‘ peace president’ Donald Trump has launched a ‘large scale attack’ on Venezuela
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: President Trump released a statement that said the US had ‘successfully’ carried out a military strike after several explosions rocked in the capital of Caracas early Saturday.
‘The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country,’ Trump said. ‘This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement.’ Trump announced that he would hold a press conference at Mar-a-Lago later in the morning to release more details.
Airplanes, loud noises and at least one column of smoke were being heard and seen in Venezuelan capital Caracas in the early hours of Saturday morning, witnesses told Reuters. Smoke could be seen rising from the hangar of a military base in Caracas. Another military installation in the capital was without power. Blasts began at 1:50am local time and one targeted Fort Tiona, which is where the Venezuelan ministry of defense is headquartered. People in various neighborhoods rushed to the streets. Some could be seen in the distance from various areas of Caracas.
‘The whole ground shook. This is horrible. We heard explosions and planes in the distance,’ said Carmen Hidalgo, a 21-year-old office worker, her voice trembling. She was walking briskly with two relatives, returning from a birthday party. ‘We felt like the air was hitting us.’
Venezuela’s government, in a statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.
People to the streets!’ the statement said. ‘The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.’ The statement added that President Maduro had ‘ordered all national defense plans to be implemented’ and declared ‘a state of external disturbance.’ Venezuela’s communications ministry told The New York Times it ‘rejects, repudiates, and denounces’ US military aggression.
