Why Arresting Maduro Was Legal, Lawful, and Long Overdue
https://newsletter.amuseonx.
The arrest of Nicolás Maduro has been described by critics as an act of war. That description is mistaken. It misunderstands both the legal posture of Maduro himself and the nature of the action taken against him. The operation that resulted in Maduro’s capture was not a declaration of hostilities against Venezuela. It was the execution of a long-standing criminal indictment against an individual who, under US law and widely accepted principles of international law, was never entitled to the protections of a lawful head of state.

Biden’s ‘extravagant’ pension is largest of any president in history – and even more than what he earned as prez
https://nypost.com/2026/01/04/
Former President Joe Biden’s long career in politics allowed him to retire with the largest taxpayer-funded pension of any ex-prez in US history — $417,000, or more than his presidential salary, an expert says. Biden, 83, was in line to rake in the massive amount from two pension funds in his first year as former president, according to an analysis by National Taxpayer Union Foundation Vice President Demian Brady.

Sunday 2A: Seconds Count
https://wilderwealthywise.com/
When seconds count, the cops are minutes away. If you say this to a cop, it tends to irritate them. Along with calling them “second responders”. But those are both true statements.
All the songs so far are here (LINK). You can pre-purchase all the rock songs now wherever you buy music electronically – do a search for Wilder’s Hammer. I’ll get the country songs up when I have a few hours of free time.
I hunted until the last minutes, of the last day, of the last month of the 2025 deer season in Texas.
The 2025 Texas Deer season count is: 3 in the freezer(60#+, mostly 1#chubs of ground deer, and 4″ vacpaks of backstrap), 15+ seen over the 9 week +2 days season, 2 missed shots right at sundown+30 minutes, and I let 2 doe walk away today. Next year I hope to max out my deer license.

Out of all the dumb protest signs, the middle one takes first place in the Tim Waltz championships. By the time they designed, printed and marched with this sign, Maduro was well on its way to breakfast in America and all military personnel were back to their transports or points of origin. There was no bombing to be stopped, but never let an old worn out slogan go to waste.

Why We Need the Gold Standard
https://www.lewrockwell.com/
“It is easy to understand why people viewed the gold standard as the symbol of this greatest and most beneficial of all historical changes. All those intent upon sabotaging the evolution toward welfare, peace, freedom, and democracy loathed the gold standard, and not only on account of its economic significance. In their eyes the gold standard was the labarum, the symbol, of all those doctrines and policies they wanted to destroy.”

Oil and gas prices expected to stay significantly lower through 2026

The national average for gasoline fell to $2.83 per gallon to start 2026, marking the fifth straight week of declines and the lowest prices Americans have seen so far this year. Hawaii remains the most expensive state at $4.42 per gallon. (almost EVERYTHING, except sand, coconuts, hot lava, pineapples, and fish is imported to Hawaii – jlr)
Oklahoma is the cheapest at $2.24, and the lowest-priced markets are now in the low-$2 range as refineries boost output and demand remains seasonally soft.

I have maintained the Clock O’Doom at 9., given the open support of assassination and criminality by the GloboLeft and the increase in violence as well as direct interference with ICE and the insertion of the military into law enforcement. Beware: the number can climb quickly.
My advice remains. Avoid crowds. Get out of cities. Now. A year too soon is better than one day too late.
