With the former socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro behind bars, President Trump announced that Venezuela’s interim government would be giving the U.S. between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil.

From Breitbart:

In a post on Truth Social, Trump explained that the oil would “be sold at its Market Price,” and that Trump would ensure the money from the sales would be “used to benefit the people of Venezuela” and the U.S.

“I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America,” Trump said. “This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”

“I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately,” Trump added. “It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.”

Venezuela is known for its high quantities of oil. According to Breitbart, the nation has approximately $17.3 trillion in oil reserves, exceeding the collective global gross domestic product when excluding China and the U.S.

There is, however, trouble in paradise. According to The Telegraph, several oil tankers fled Venezuela following Saturday’s attack. The ships, most of which were loaded with oil and fuel, left the nation to avoid being boarded by U.S. forces.

It is unclear how these fleeing ships will affect President Trump’s promise of millions of barrels of oil. Let’s continue to pray for Venezuela in the wake of Maduro’s capture, and let’s thank God for the blessing of this oil!

No disrespect intended, but I’m still wondering how the vast majority of America sees nothing wrong with having a convicted felon as president and then, sitting back while our elected officials allow a South African emigrant, come here and run this country. American citizens have no power, but to pay their taxes and deal with outrageously high medical premiums. These are the blue-collar workers who keep this country moving while tax dollars are handed over to foreign countries for their good. Just saying.

Even though Venezuela may substitute someone just as bad, they GOT the message that unrighteousness will NOT be tolerated.

One more thing about oil. There is one other thing we can use. It’s called nuclear energy. Politicians could care less about nuclear meltdowns which, with advanced technology, should be a non-issue. They do care about “green” companies in which they invest or own directly which crash and are bailed out by
our tax dollars. See why only God can run this planet? And He will, I refer to the real
God, revealed by Jesus whose nature is God. Not the myriad of false gods we have imported into our country.

Time for the (ahem) environmentalists to admit that climate “change”, originally global “cooling”, then global “warming” now seen by honest scientists as cyclical and normal, is not the end of the world. And we can’t run an aircraft carrier with windmills or heat our homes with solar panels. We need oil. Civilization requires oil. The Solyndra scam should have been a tip-off but many more “non-profits” insured by taxpayer dollars have been allowed to crash and burn creating tremendous wealth for “stockholders” and members of “boards of directors”. All another scam. One good thing about Trump is he has plenty of his own money so doesn’t need to steal tax dollars.
We live in a county run by criminals. They skim, as we now see, billions from welfare and Medicaid fraud. They do inside trading. And as much as I admire the Ukrainians, their leader Zalenski is just a sophisticated money launderer. It everywhere. Why do politicians become filthy rich under the guise of being “liberal”. Why did Uncle Bernie stop whining about millionaires and start complaining about Billionaires? Because Comrade Bernie is, lo and behold, a multi-millionaire himself. Like Pelosii. Like Obama. Like Biden (that’s an easy one). And to be fair, like Lindsay Graham. And it wasn’t because they were frugal and saved their nickles and dimes. It’s because they are crooks. Long story short, Venezuela stole our oil and we are taking it back. If someone is to have energy, military and economic dominance it better be us. Otherwise, prepare for the gulag. And to hear the satanic wailing coming from mosques 5 times a day, starting VERY early. Like in Dearborn Michigan. It’s what happens when you don’t fight back.

Father, we pray that Venezuela repays U.S. seven times the amount of oil stolen from the U.S. (Proverbs 6:31). Father, You are the way maker. Make a way that the fleeing oil ships do not affect President Trump’s promise of millions of barrels of oil. Thank you Father that the U.S. is blessed with the oil to our country. Amen.
