America rarely announces turning points while they are happening. Most are recognized only in retrospect—when a sentence, a posture, or a decision quietly redraws the map of expectation. President James Monroe did that in 1823. President Donald Trump may be doing it again now.

In a decisive strike against the forces eroding the American Dream, President Donald Trump has announced plans to ban large Wall Street investors from purchasing single-family homes, ensuring that everyday families, especially young ones, can once again afford to own a piece of the nation they love.

In the early hours of January 3, 2026, American forces executed a daring raid deep into Venezuelan territory, capturing the tyrannical socialist leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. This operation, dubbed "Absolute Resolve," involved elite troops breaching Maduro's fortified compound with the aid of spies, drones, and precision strikes from 150 jets launching from 20 airbases.

In the early days of 2026, the world witnessed a dramatic turn in Venezuela's long saga of political turmoil. On January 3, Nicolás Maduro, the embattled leader who had clung to power amid allegations of election fraud, economic collapse, and human rights abuses, was captured in a U.S.-led operation and extradited to face charges of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking in a New York courtroom. Maduro pleaded not guilty, but the event has ignited a firestorm of reactions that expose deep fissures in how we perceive dictatorship, intervention, and justice.
