Tonight is the official planned debut of the new CBS Evening News, though they actually moved up the debut to two days ago to cover the capture of Maduro. Is it worth watching? I have no idea.

A leftist revenged-doxxed a man who he claimed was Delta Force's (secret) commander.

Apparently he doxxed the wrong man. Leftist media had already gotten into bed with him; maybe he'll lose his HBO show.

He's rabidly anti-american and anti-military:

Recap for those who missed it: Seth Harp is a prior Army Reservist with an Iraq deployment to his credit, who parlayed his civ law career into a political "world conflict journalism" gig. Has a bestseller and swanky mag bylines to his credit. Claims SOF is full of murderous coke-heads. Hates Israel. Decided to doxx what he thought was a Delta Force senior officer. Doxxed literally the wrong man. Promptly went into digital hiding as a result. Will his swanky mag bylines keep his HBO option intact, or will they scuttle him due to the bad optics?

Guess who just had this Solid Citizen on his podcast to spread his lies about drug- and murder-crazy soldiers? That's right, of course, unregistered foreign agent Tucker Carlson.

One of those totally-legitimate taxpayer-funded daycare services made so much money from babysitting -- you know, like a 13 year old girl's job -- that they bought a $93,250 Porsche, paid in full with a single check.

Some Democrats, including the Democrat activists at the Politico knock-off Axios, aren't sure Democrats should support tyrannical narcoterrorists just to reflexively oppose Trump.

Some Democrats are grumbling at their party's largely oppositional stance to President Trump's raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying privately that their colleagues should be celebrating. Why it matters: These lawmakers argue it could be a major political miscalculation if the party fails to applaud the downfall of a brutal dictator with sufficient volume, even given grave concerns about the operation's legality and longer-term ramifications.

Party leaders have raged at Trump for bypassing Congress and leaving them in the dark about the operation to capture Maduro, which involved striking several military targets in Venezuela's capital city.
And many rank-and-file lawmakers, buoyed by polling that shows Americans largely oppose a protracted intervention in Venezuela, have also seized on Trump's comments that the U.S. will temporarily "run" the country.
Some centrists and battleground-district members -- who spoke to Axios on the condition of anonymity to offer candid criticisms of their party's messaging -- have a different view.

What we're hearing: One swing-district House Democrat told Axios in a text message on Saturday, "Nuance is dead in politics."

"Maduro is bad, glad he is gone ... You can't have it both ways," the lawmaker said, venting that "everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base."
Another vulnerable House Democrat told Axios in a phone interview: "As Democrats we can't just condemn what happened ... I wish the Democratic Party would be a little bit more measured on this."
"I think it looks weak," a third centrist House Democrat said. "If you don't acknowledge when there is a win for our country, then you lose all credibility."

Between the lines: It's not just about politics. The second lawmaker who spoke to Axios noted that Democrats widely condemned Venezuela's sham elections last year and have long advocated for democracy abroad.

"What happened to when they had the election and Maduro stole the election? There were Democrats condemning that," the House Democrat said.
"Have we forgotten what's happened ... in that country?"
The third House Democrat told Axios they were surprised "how negative the response has been" from their colleagues.

Boasberg alert: He wants to return all of the deported Venezuelan gangsters and drug-dealers back to the US.

DOJ requests delay of court deadline to return deported Venezuelans to US after Maduro arrest

The DOJ said that the extension is necessary because the military operation over the weekend has led to "substantial changes" in the country

The Justice Department requested a week-long delay of a court deadline to return deported Venezuelans to the United States after the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a U.S. military operation.

The DOJ is facing a Monday deadline from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to either "facilitate the return" of the deported Venezuelan nationals to the U.S. or "otherwise provide them with hearings that satisfy the requirements of due process," the Washington Examiner reported.

A Venezuelan says that 'international law' didn't care when Maduro imprisoned him and tortured him, so he doesn't think 'international law" should protect his torturer, Maduro, either.

Oh great, they race- and gender-swapped Wallace from Wallace and Grommit, and turned him into an anti-white racist to boot.

"Get off me cheese!"

The entire Democrat Party is "forgetting" that Biden and Harris offered a $25 million bounty for information leading to Maduro's arrest, or that Chris Murphy attacked Trump in 2019 for failing to depose Maduro.
