Tyrant Nicolas Maduro Boasts That Venezuela Can’t Be Invaded, Holds Military Drill as a Show of Force, While US Navy Warships and Nuclear Submarine Lay Siege in the Caribbean Sea (VIDEOS)

Nicolas Maduro – AI-generated image by Grok.

Maduro is flexing so much that we notice it’s fear.

We have been reporting here on TGP how the US Donald J. Trump administration has fundamentally changed the balance of power in Latin America, sending the socialists into a panic.

The most visible aspect of this new era is the largest military detachment to the subcontinent in 25 years – 7 Navy ships, including a nuclear-capable submarine, all stationed off the coast of Venezuela.

The US has charged Maduro with sanction evasion and has branded him a Narco-Trafficker and a Cartel chief. A $50 million reward for his capture has been issued.

The board is set; the pieces are moving.

And the Tyrant of Caracas is boasting that his country can’t be invaded.

Newsweek reported:

“There is no way they can enter Venezuela,” Maduro said, calling the U.S. deployment of multiple warships, a nuclear-powered submarine, and 4,500 troops a siege that only strengthens his government. The move, part of President Donald Trump’s intensified anti-drug cartel operations, has sparked the most serious U.S.-Venezuela confrontation in years.

[…] The standoff signals Washington’s growing willingness to project military force in Latin America, under the banner of countering drug cartels, while simultaneously putting pressure on the Maduro regime.”

Watch: Maduro oversees massive military exercise as US warships closes in

“Maduro portrayed the U.S. naval presence as a hostile siege that violates the U.N. Charter. He thanked Colombian President Gustavo Petro for deploying 25,000 troops to support security along their shared border, framing the move as a joint effort to protect Venezuela and the wider border region.

Maduro said civil defense units would continue training weekly and vowed that no foreign power could touch Venezuela’s ‘sacred lands’. He also referenced the U.S. bounty on his head, noting that Washington recently doubled it to $50 million for his capture.”

“Admiral Daryl Claude, the U.S. Navy’s chief of naval operations, confirmed that U.S. warships were deployed to waters off South America, citing concerns that some Venezuelans were participating in large-scale drug operations, though Washington has made no public threat to invade.”

FBI Director Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Sues Podcaster for Alleging She’s Mossad Agent

Country singer Alexis Wilkins, who is dating FBI Director Kash Patel, has filed a defamation lawsuit against podcaster and former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, seeks $5 million in damages.

Wilkins filed her federal suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, located in Austin, a case assigned to Judge David A. Ezra, appointed to the court by President Reagan.

At the center of the dispute are explosive claims made during Seraphin’s August 22 podcast, where he told listeners that Wilkins was a “former Mossad agent” and a “honeypot” allegedly sent to compromise Patel. 26-year-old Wilkins is 19 years younger than Patel, 45.

The specific language complained about is found in paragraph 10 of Wilkins’ complaint against Seraphin, found here:

Wilkins’ attorneys say the allegations about her being a Mossad agent are flatly false. The lawsuit emphasizes that Wilkins was born in the United States, has never been to Israel, and is not Jewish. The complaint says Seraphin “acted with actual malice” by knowingly fabricating the story to build his audience and boost profits.

The Complaint notes that Seraphin did not name Wilkins by name, but simply referenced Patel’s girlfriend.

A national defamation expert exclusively tells the Gateway Pundit, “For defamation, one of the critical elements is that the defamatory statement be ‘of and concerning the Plaintiff‘ and if the identity is not clear exactly who he is referring to, then that’s going to be very difficult to prove defamation. The statements made would have to be obvious, to the people who knew her, to know it was her.”

“So, for instance, if he has multiple girlfriends, and if that’s not clear, and if the public listening to the show could not identify her with certainty, then that’s a major hole in their case. She likely has no damages as a result.”

Because Seraphin is a former FBI agent, Wilkins’ legal team argues that his accusations carried an added veneer of credibility that crossed the line far beyond speculation or hyperbole. The suit also points to the fact that Seraphin had personally met both Patel and Wilkins at a political event two years earlier, undermining his claim that he did not know her background.

On Twitter, Seraphin appears to be doubling down, and is retweeting threads that show a variety of suspicious facts about Wilkins.

Seraphin has also denied wrongdoing, telling listeners that he does not recall meeting Wilkins and that he never made the exact statements now cited in the lawsuit.

The case sets up a high-profile legal battle, pitting a rising Nashville singer and the current FBI Director’s partner against a podcaster who has built an audience by taking shots at his former agency.

Patel has been widely criticized by activists in both parties for continuing the ongoing cover-up about the 2019 death of Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier who is accused of running underage sex blackmail and an international human trafficking operation. Many believe Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell were  intelligence assets of Israel, and Epstein reportedly privately bragged to friends that he was a Mossad agent.

Last year, the New York Times also accused Israel of an ongoing ‘influence campaign’ to control lawmakers’ perceptions of the ongoing war in Gaza.

Seraphin first came to prominence as a 2023 whistleblower of internal FBI material to the journalism group Project Veritas which outlined how the Bureau planned to infiltrate and persecute traditionalist Catholics as potential ‘domestic terrorists.’ The FBI retaliated against the wrong FBI agent, Garrett O’Boyle, in a case that was finally settled this week, which say O’Boyle’s full reinstatement to his position, restoration of his security clearance, back pay, benefits, and additional damages. The Justice Department acknowledged that O’Boyle had engaged in protected whistleblowing activities by reporting concerns to Congress, rather than leaking information. The settlement also involves the reversal of prior disciplinary actions taken against him.

Wilkins is represented in the case by attorney Jason C. Greaves of Binnall Law Group out of Alexandria, Virginia. The case number is 1:25-cv-01375-DAE, and Seraphin has yet to respond to the case.

Kyle Seraphin was asked for comment for this article and did not respond.

SICK. Obama’s ‘Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award’ Recipient Who Claims to Be Apostle and Jesus’ Best Friend Arrested and Indicted in Forced Labor and Money Laundering Scheme – C

Barack Obama honored David Taylor with a lifetime achievement award in 2017 after leaving office.

In 2017, David E. Taylor was honored by the President Barack Obama as a recipient of the “President’s Lifetime Achievement Award”. This award is the highest award in the land for volunteer services given by the President and government of the United States of America. The award was bestowed upon David E. Taylor for his twenty-six years of volunteer services.

According to his website, David fed the poor, provided clothing and necessities to struggling families, offered free counseling to the community, runs a 24/7 toll-free call center providing prayer and guidance, free admission to all conferences and services, disaster relief to those in need, and so much more.

David E. Taylor was arrested and indicted on Wednesday in North Carolina. He is being charged in a forced labor and money laundering conspiracy investigation that agents said victimized individuals in Michigan, Florida, Texas and Missouri.

Taylor, a self-proclaimed apostle and Jesus’ best friend, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit forced labor. His associate Michelle Brannon was also arrested. They are the leaders of the Kingdom of God Global Church.

FBI Director Kash Patel commented on the arrests on Friday.

A Frail-Looking Bill Clinton Spotted at Airport Traveling With a Defibrillator Alongside Hillary Just Weeks Before Their Congressional Testimony Regarding Jeffrey Epstein

Former President Bill Clinton has raised questions about his health just weeks before he and Hillary are scheduled to testify before Congress regarding his old friend Jeffrey Epstein.

As The Daily Mail reported, a frail Bill was spotted with Hillary as they were leaving the Hamptons at the airport on Thursday with a Propaq MD Air Medical Bag. This is a lightweight transport monitor and defibrillator.

Wild Bill wore a tan hat and was accompanied by members of his security team as they carried the defibrillator. Crooked Hillary wore a black sweatshirt over her blue two-piece set.

This news comes as both Bill and Hillary are scheduled to testify in the coming weeks after being subpoenaed earlier this month by the House Oversight Committee as part of the congressional investigation into the government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Hillary was also named in the Epstein files.

Bill is scheduled to testify on October 14, while Hillary’s testimony is scheduled for October 9. That’s roughly seven weeks for Bill and six for Hillary, less two months for each.

The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported on the deep connections between Bill Clinton and Epstein, including the former president flying on Epstein’s Lolita Express 26 times.

Hillary’s name has also appeared in the Epstein files.

One could say this new revelation concerning Bill Clinton’s health is convenient timing, but perhaps it’s just a coincidence. After all, Bill Clinton has had his share of health scares over the years.

The Mail notes that the 79-year-old Bill Clinton has a history of heart problems. Back in 2004, he suffered a heart attack that required bypass surgery.

In 2010, he experienced discomfort in his chest and was taken to the same hospital in New York where he had his bypass surgery.

Just last year, Slick Willie was hospitalized with a fever two days before Christmas while allegedly suffering from the flu.

He was discharged from the hospital the following day.

Russian Defense Minister Belousov Says Moscow’s Pace of Territorial Conquest Almost Doubled, With Forces Now Advancing 270 Square Miles Per Month

Russian Defense Minister Belousov reveals the faster pace of advances by Russian forces.

Under the command of respected economist and former deputy prime minister Andrei Belousov, the Russian forces took a major technological step forward, and Moscow’s weapons industries are churning out artillery shells, drones and missiles in numbers the western powers can only dream of.

But under the new Defense Minister, the territorial advances have also surged in pace and intensity.

Today (29), Belousov said that the Russian army has quickened the pace of advance in Ukrainian theatre of operation, and have been conquering 600-700 square km (270 square miles) a month – almost doubling the 300-400 square km at the start of the year.

Reuters reported:

“Belousov also said that Russia had inflicted significant damage on Ukraine’s military and industrial infrastructure carrying out 35 mass strikes this year on what he called 146 critically important targets.

‘As a result, the infrastructure of 62% of key enterprises in Ukraine’s military-industrial complex has been damaged’, Belousov said.

‘I would particularly like to highlight strikes that reduce production capacity, as well as those targeting logistics centers and launch sites for long-range strike drones’.”

Belousov wants Russia to keep improving its own drone capabilities, including training drone operators more quickly.

“Another priority he identified was improving the speed at which tactical groups could move.

‘This year, 22,725 motorcycles, quad bikes and buggies have been delivered. By the end of the year, a further 12,186 units of this equipment are expected to be transferred to the armed forces’, he said.”

9 fortified bastions stand between Russia and the complete conquest of Donetsk region.

At a meeting of the Russian Ministry of Defense Collegium, Belousov also highlighted:

Lord Bebo reported:

“Since the beginning of the year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost more than 340,000 personnel and over 65,000 pieces of equipment. The combat potential of the Ukrainian army has been significantly reduced

Since the beginning of the year, the Russian Armed Forces have carried out 35 massive and group strikes on 146 critically important targets;

62% of key Ukrainian defense enterprises have been damaged;

The Defense Minister especially noted strikes on long-range strike drone launch sites, as well as their storage and production locations.”

RINO Sen. Lisa Murkowski to Face Primary Challenge from Governor Mike Dunleavy in 2028

Alaska’s swamp-friendly Senator Lisa Murkowski may finally be facing the reckoning that conservatives have been demanding for years.

Fox News confirms that Alaska’s Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy is preparing to announce a 2028 run for U.S. Senate, directly challenging the embattled Murkowski.

Murkowski, who has repeatedly clashed with President Donald Trump and sided with Democrats on critical issues, has long been a thorn in the side of conservatives. But this time, Alaskans may finally have a strong America First alternative ready to send her packing.

“He’s not going to quit his term,” a top source close to Dunleavy told Fox News Digital, emphasizing that the governor will complete his obligations before announcing a Senate run.

“But he knows that (being in Washington) is the only way to get things done,” the source added.

“He’s not about an ego and pushing himself in front of the cameras. He gets stuff done… He’s not like, ‘Please put me on this committee’ or ‘I have to attend this ball’. He doesn’t like those types of things,” the source continued.

Dunleavy, who endorsed Trump early in 2016 and has been one of the president’s most loyal allies, has reportedly been encouraged directly by Trump to run.

“Trump has talked to him before about running and wants him to run,” the source confirmed.

More from Fox News:

Despite being a red state, it is an “uphill climb” to get elected governor as a Republican, another source close to the situation told Fox News Digital Wednesday.

Former Gov. Jay Hammond was the last Republican to win re-election there, in 1978. Another Republican, Sean Parnell, who rose to the job after Palin’s 2009 departure, did not technically win re-election during the 2010 cycle that kept him in office.

“A lot of people have mentioned this (race) to him and … I think it is a very viable option for him,” the source said.

“Obviously there are a lot of frustrations with Sen. Murkowski,” he said, adding that the disparity in Trump’s relationship between the two Alaskans is “no secret.”

“Gov. Dunleavy has been not only a successful governor, but a pretty strong ally for him. So, it’s only natural that he’d be hearing that from Alaskans — but also from folks in the broader MAGA movement.”

PANIC IN THE SKY: HAZMAT TEAMS STORM LONDON FLIGHT After Passengers and Crew Suddenly Fell Ill Mid-Air — Plane Forced to Emergency Landing in Italy

A British Airways flight from London Gatwick bound for Egypt was forced into an emergency landing in Venice, Italy, after passengers and crew members suddenly fell violently ill mid-flight, triggering a full-scale HAZMAT response, The Standard reported.

The incident took place in December, though details have only now been reported.

The December 23rd flight, bound for Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, was met on the tarmac by firefighters in full hazmat suits with breathing apparatus and scanning devices.

Passengers described a scene of pure panic as emergency teams boarded the aircraft and began sweeping both crew and travelers for possible exposure to toxic fumes.

61-year-old passenger Melanie Wells, traveling with her 19-year-old daughter, recalled the terrifying ordeal in a statement to The Standard.

Melanie felt ill soon after the flight departed and thought the heat inside the cabin was to blame. But she says matters quickly worsened when other travelers and cabin crew also became ill.

“About an hour and a half in the air, crew members suddenly began running down the aisle backwards and forwards. I didn’t know what was going on,” she said.

Wells described the crew as being in “full panic mode” while passengers were left in the dark with no updates from the captain.

According to Wells, men in hazmat suits with breathing apparatus entered the plane.

“We were told nothing the whole time. Then, when we landed, the whole plane was surrounded by police, ambulances, and fire services. Men in hazmat suits came on board with testing devices. I was absolutely terrified.”

“And then men in hazmat suits with full breathing apparatus came on board with what I assume were [testing devices], running them over the stewards and stewardesses, then doing it to the passengers affected,” she continued.

“I was absolutely terrified – I was out of my mind with worry, I was really fearful. It was pandemonium. The staff were in pure panic mode. At no point did the captain give us any information.”

WATCH:

The Standard reported:

After an eight-hour delay in Italy, the flight – which had departed on 23 December – was sent back to Gatwick before passengers finally reached Sharm El Sheikh the following morning.

Melanie said the ordeal left her and her daughter “utterly exhausted” and claimed it ruined the start of their holiday.

“I hadn’t been very well, so treated me and my daughter to an ultra-high-end all-inclusive in Sharm El Sheikh. I hadn’t been away for ages, it was definitely much-needed,” she said. “We were travelling for 40 hours. We were utterly exhausted. The experience was horrific. It was definitely a flight from hell. BA have performed in the most cavalier manner. The distress and trauma we went through – it was utterly traumatic. It ruined the start of our holiday.”

She says British Airways has offered £2,130 to cover the cancelled flight, meals and expenses, but is refusing to refund the £500 she lost on the first night of accommodation.

“I want the £500 for the missed accommodation too. It was a horrific experience,” she added.

British Airways, however, said the diversion was “a precaution” after a technical issue and insisted engineers found no evidence of toxic fumes.

A spokesperson told the news outlet: “The safety of our customers and colleagues is always our top priority and our aircraft diverted as a precaution because of a technical issue.

“We’ve apologised to our customers for their experience and have offered compensation accordingly.”
