Venezuela’s Maduro declares ‘an early Christmas for October 1’
Christmas has come early in Venezeula whether the people want it to or not.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared Monday that this year’s Christmas will start on October 1. The announcement was made at a time of extreme political escalation following the highly-contested July presidential election, in which both Maduro’s regime and the opposition party declared victory.
“It’s September, and it already smells like Christmas,” Maduro said during a television interview, according to the AP. “That’s why this year, as a way of paving tribute to you all, and in gratitude to you all, I’m going to decree an early Christmas for October 1.”
Not all are on board with the president’s declaration.
Jose Ernesto Ruiz, a 57-year-old officer worker, told the Associated Press: “Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, family reunions, parties, presents. But without money, and with this political crisis, who can believe that there will be an early Christmas?”
Maduro claimed the season would come “with peace, happiness, and security,” but the political climate has citizens fearful and living on edge.
Ruling party-loyal electoral officials declared Maduro, who first became president in 2013, the winner on election night without providing election data results to back up Maduro’s reported win. The United States recognized Maduro’s opponent, Edmundo Gonzalez, as the winner of the election in August, rejecting Maduro’s claim of victory. This, after Gonzalez’s faction supplied electronic copies of electoral tallies that showed Gonzalez had won the most votes.
Mass protests erupted in opposition to Maduro after the election, which has since resulted in the arrest of roughly 2,000 people including politicians, journalists, and aid workers.
Just moments before Maduro’s holiday announcement, a judge ordered the arrest of Gonzalez on charges of usurpation of powers, conspiracy, and falsifying documents.
Ines Quevedo, a 39-year-old mother of two children, suggested to the paper that it’s hard to be jolly when “we are all worried about how we are going to put food on the table.”

PHOTO: Tim Walz’s Family Members Reveal Support for Donald Trump
Several family members of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrat Party’s vice presidential nominee, have come out in support of Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump.
A photo shared by Charles Herbster, a former Republican gubernatorial candidate for Nebraska, showed several people wearing blue t-shirts with the words, “Nebraska Walz’s for Trump.”
The people in the photo wearing shirts supporting Trump are related to Walz on his grandfather’s brother’s side, a representative confirmed to the Daily Mail.
Former President Donald Trump responded to the photo in Truth Social post by thanking Jeff Walz, the brother of the Minnesota governor.
“Thank you very much, Jeff,” Trump wrote in his post. “It is a Great Honor to have your Endorsement. I look forward to meeting you soon!”
The photo of the Walz family supporting Trump comes after Walz’s brother described him as “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future” and added that he “opposed” his brother’s ideology.
In a Facebook post from March 2023, Jeff Walz responded to several comments from people.
“We’ve just become a third-world banana republic,” Walz said in the post.
One of the people encouraged Walz to “have a talk with his brother,” to which Walz revealed that he had not spoken to him “in 8 years.”
“Haven’t spoke to him in 8 years,” Jeff Walz wrote in a comment. “I’m opposed to all his ideology. My family wasn’t given any notice [that] he was selected and denied security the days after.”
Another person encouraged Walz to “Help MAGA” and to “Get on stage with President Trump and endorse him.”
“I’ve thought hard about doing something like that,” Jeff Walz responded. “I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it. The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”
Tim Walz has three siblings: Sandy Dietrich, Jeff Walz, and Craig Walz. Dietrich is reportedly living in Nebraska, while Jeff Walz lives in Florida.
Craig Walz died in June 2016 while camping at Duncan Lake after a powerful storm rolled through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) and Cook County, leading to a tree falling on his campsite, according to KARE11 News.
Breitbart News reached out to Jeff Walz for a statement but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

‘Perfectly evil’: Alarm sounded as 4 of 5 predictors of coming civil war have already happened!
from WND:
An author who is known for coining the “Millennnial” descriptive and has seen his predictions for the future actually happen is warning that America is blundering down the road to another civil war, and four of five predicates for that calamity already have happened.
It is demographer and historian Neil Howe who was interviewed for an analysis by the Daily Signal, and who explained internal divisions so deep they can lead to a reprise of the war between the blue and the gray is more plausible than most people think.
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
“In 1997, he published a book with Bill Strauss, ‘The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy—What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny.’ In that book, he suggested five catalysts for a major crisis—and four of the five have already come to pass,” the analysis explained.
On the Daily Signal Podcast, he explained one predictor was a crisis over debt, and he called it a “new tea party movement,” a label that subsequently was used during the 2010 fights by that name.
“The other one was a WMD [weapon of mass destruction] attack on New York City,” Howe explained, citing how the catastrophe of 9/11 paralleled that worry.
“The other one was the [COVID-19] pandemic, and the fourth one was Russia invading a former Soviet republic,” such as Ukraine, he explained.
What’s left?
“A nullification crisis, where one or more of the states would actually nullify federal regulation, which would lead to a new secession movement,” he warned.
His theory is that the United States can expect a major crisis about every 80-100 years, like a Great Depression or a World War II, events that he calls “fourth turnings.”
And he says already in America the divisions between “red” and “blue” are so deep each considers the other “perfectly evil,” the analysis explains.

US Steel Shares Melt Down After Biden Reportedly Prepares To Block Deal With Japan’s Nippon
Update (1433ET):
Shares of US Steel in New York crashed around 1343 ET after a Washington Post report, citing three people familiar with the matter, revealed that President Biden intends to formally block Nippon Steel’s proposed $14.9 billion deal with the Pittsburgh-based steelmaker.
Shares crashed 21% to the $27 handle, erasing all gains made in late 2023 after Japan’s largest steelmaker said it would buy US Steel for $55 per share in an all-cash transaction.
If losses hold through the end of the cash session, this would be the largest daily loss since -26.8% on April 26, 2017.
Financial Times said Biden’s formal decision could come in just a few days. Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris revealed on Monday that she opposed the deal, and President Trump has also vowed to block it.
Earlier, WSJ cited US Steel CEO David Burritt as warning that a blocked deal with Japan’s Nippon would result in plant closures.
* * *
Just days after Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris publicly opposed Nippon Steel’s $14.9 billion bid for US Steel, the CEO of the Pittsburgh-based steel giant told the Wall Street Journal that the company would be forced to relocate its headquarters and shut down steel mills if the deal falls through.
CEO David Burritt told WSJ that Japan’s Nippon plans to invest $3 billion in the company’s older mills, ensuring the plants remain competitive in domestic and global markets. The investment will also secure the jobs of thousands of steelworkers.
“We wouldn’t do that [upgrade plants] if the deal falls through,” Burritt said in an interview, adding that US Steel doesn’t have the money to afford upgrades.
The timing of Burritt’s comments comes days after VP Harris said in a speech on Monday that she opposes Nippon’s deal to purchase US steel, arguing that the Pittsburgh steelmaker “should remain American-owned and American-operated.”
Since the deal was first announced in December following a multi-month bidding process, CEO Burritt has mostly refrained from making public statements. In the interview, he said Nippon would bring much-needed investment and the latest steelmaking technology to older mills in Gary, Ind., and its Mon Valley Works near Pittsburgh. He called the mounting opposition to the deal highly “puzzling and confusing.”
Spending on mill maintenance and equipment upgrades was deferred over the last decade because US Steel was losing money as it struggled with elevated costs and low steel prices. Higher steel prices in recent years have helped restore profits despite some Wall Street analysts forecasting dismal demand in the quarters ahead amid recession threats.
US Steel owns two modern steel mills in Arkansas near Osceola in Mississippi County. Without investment from Nippon, the company could shutter Mon Valley, the company’s last steelmaking operation in Pittsburgh.
“If that mill won’t make it to the next decade, why would we stay there?” Burritt said, adding more of its steelmaking capacity is shifting to the southern part of the US, and with that, so could the headquarters.
Besides VP Harris and President Biden, former President Trump has also vowed to block the deal if re-elected. Both candidates are fighting for the votes of Pennsylvania steelworkers and blue-collar folks in this crucial battleground state.

French authorities urge sex workers and homosexuals to get mpox booster vaccine
On Monday, the French National Authority for Health (HAS) urged at-risk populations to get a mpox (monkeypox) booster vaccine. This includes sex workers, people working in sex locations, men who have sex with men, trans people who have multiple sex partners, and people who reside in the same living space as those previously mentioned.
The country is reportedly “facing a real pandemic risk,” according to Anne-Claude Cremieux, the President of the HAS technical committee on vaccinations, who cited an increase in infections in the recommendation, as per Le Monde.
“This is perhaps one of the rare occasions when, faced with a potentially pandemic virus, we are in a position to intervene with the disease is still confined to a limited target population. We need to learn from the past,” said Cremieux.
There have been 126 reported monkeypox cases in France since the beginning of the year, and health officials are concerned the disease could spread without taking measures. In 2022 and 2023, there were 100,000 cases of the disease, which affected 117 countries. The disease originated in Africa and had only affected a few African countries before it spread across the world.
The cause of concern is a new variant (1b), which was identified in the Republic of Congo before it rapidly spread to neighboring countries. The first cluster of 1b to be identified in France occurred in April.

Turkey becomes first NATO member to apply for BRICS membership
NATO member Turkey has submitted its application to join the BRICS alliance, the Kremlin said Wednesday. This comes as Russia and China strive to strengthen their partnerships with developing countries to challenge the West’s global dominance.
The move reflects Turkey’s dissatisfaction with the West over the prolonged negotiations to become a member of the EU, which have been stalled since 2005. Russia said BRICS would discuss taking in new members during a meeting next month, as per the AP.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has established himself as a mediator between the East and the West to strengthen Turkey’s global influence by establishing a more independent foreign policy. Despite joining the US-dominated military alliance NATO in 1952, Erdogan has rejected Western sanctions on Russia over its war against Ukraine and has criticized America’s support for Israel.
He also recently played a crucial role in prisoner swap negotiations between Moscow and Washington.
“Turkey can become a strong, prosperous, prestigious, and effective country if it improves its relations with the East and the West simultaneously,” Erdogan said during a press brief in Istanbul last week.
“We have to develop our relations with both these and other organizations on a win-win basis,” he added. “Any method other than this will not benefit Turkey, but will harm it.”
The BRICS alliance, which rivals the US-led G7 nations, poses a threat to the United States. Next month, 126 nations are set to meet in Russia to contemplate abandoning the US dollar. BRICS is made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and has a no-limit membership. The United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Egypt joined earlier this year.
Sinan Ulgen, the head of the Istanbul-based think tank EDAM, told Newsweek that Turkey’s decision to apply for BRICS was “a strategy to strengthen relations with non-Western powers at a time when the US hegemony is waning.”
He added, “The bilateral relationship with the US has also been problematic.”

AVI ABELOW: Biden-Harris are complicit in the death of Hersh Goldberg-Polin
In the wake of the recent tragedy where six Israeli hostages were found executed at point-blank range, the world must confront a painful reality: the Biden/Harris administration bears a significant part of the responsibility for these deaths, including the death of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a US citizen. These hostages were discovered in a tunnel beneath Rafah, a city that the Biden/Harris government had persistently warned Israel against entering for months. Had Biden/Harris supported Israel’s efforts to penetrate this critical location to destroy Hamas, it’s tunnels and it’s smuggling network, it’s plausible that these hostages could have been freed alive by Israel months ago. Instead, the Biden/Harris administration’s interference and warnings to Israel have directly contributed to the continued captivity of Israelis in Gaza and to the death of these recent captives, including a US citizen.
The tragic irony here is stark. The Netanyahu government and Israel’s military, in its determined effort to locate and rescue the hostages, were impeded by the Biden/Harris administration. By literally threatening Israel from entering Rafah, including by withholding Congress-approved weapons, the actions of the Biden/Harris administration essentially enabled Hamas to continue their brutal campaign without giving Israel any chance of saving the captives held in the Rafah tunnels. The recent murder of a US citizen, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, by Hamas should serve as a wake-up call to the freedom-loving American people. The inaction and appeasing policies of the Biden/Harris administration not only jeopardized Israeli lives but have now claimed the life of a US citizen as well.
If the Biden/Harris administration had any integrity, now is a good time for this administration to reassess its approach. Instead of pressuring Israel to appease Hamas, the Biden/Harris administration must stand in unequivocal support of Israel’s right to protect its citizens and to take all necessary actions to destroy Hamas and save all the remaining captives. The insistence on negotiating with Hamas, using Qatar and Egypt as intermediaries, as if they were legitimate partners in peace, is not only misguided but dangerous. Qatar is complicit in funding Hamas, while it is known that Egypt allowed Hamas to dig and use a network of tunnels to smuggle weapons and rockets into Gaza, for military use against Israel. Both Qatar and Egypt are directly complicit in the arming and empowerment of Hamas, and it is a strategic mistake to continue treating them as neutral mediators, a misguided act that only emboldens Hamas and other enemies of Israel and America.
The Biden/Harris administration’s pressure on Israel to make dangerous concessions to Hamas plays directly into the hands of Hamas, allowing them to continue their campaign of terror. It is crucial for Biden/Harris administration to cease these harmful pressures and instead support Israel’s strategic decisions to ensure the safety of its citizens. From day one, the Biden/Harris administration should have placed all the pressure on Iran, Qatar, Egypt and Hamas for them to surrender and free all of the remaining captives, not on Israel.
If the Biden/Harris administration had truly cared about ending the war and freeing the Israeli captives in Gaza, they would have granted Israel the freedom to carry out military operations that are essential for neutralizing the threat posed by Hamas, causing them to surrender, and ensuring that no further violence is inflicted upon Israeli citizens.
It is vital for the international community, especially democratic nations like the United States, to recognize the gravity of the situation. The moral responsibility of supporting a nation under siege is paramount. The Biden/Harris administration must stop its attempts to force Israel into appeasement and instead back Israel’s right to crush Hamas until it begs for surrender and frees our captives. This is not just about international diplomacy; it’s about standing on the right side of history.
If the Biden/Harris administration continues its current course, prioritizing diplomatic negotiations over effective military action against Hamas, it will have serious implications for its moral standing. No American, and certainly no Jew, should support a Biden or Harris leadership that fails to stand firmly against the genocidal demands of Hamas and that pressures an ally to make concessions that endanger lives of the side that is standing up against the evil of an Islamic jihadi enemy. Supporting or voting for a Democratic White House with Biden or Harris leadership, that compromises with genocidal terror entities and fails to support the actions necessary to protect innocent lives of free democratic countries, is not only morally indefensible but also an affront to the values of justice and security that underpin democratic societies.
The Biden/Harris administration’s failure to support Israel effectively and its misguided attempts to negotiate with entities complicit in terrorism have directly contributed to the suffering and deaths of Israeli hostages, and the destabilization of the whole Middle East. They must rectify their approach, cease its pressure on Israel to appease Hamas and instead offer complete support for Israel’s efforts to destroy Hamas in Gaza to end their terror threat to Israeli society. The time for moral clarity is now, and it is imperative that democratic nations stand firmly against terror and support their democratic allies in the fight for justice and security against the growing Islamic jihad that is first going for the Saturday people before setting their sights on terrorizing the Sunday people around the freedom-loving world as well. If Americans want to save America from the coming tsunami of Islamic jihad in America, they must stand strong and support Israel and the Jewish people, because Israel is the frontline of the freedom-loving world against the growing Islamic jihad worldwide.
