Critique of Senate votes, Trump’s Venezuela move, and leftist sanctuary ideas

The column lambasts Thom Tillis’s vote on a Defense secretary, Susan Collins’s Senate influence, Trump’s alleged coup in Venezuela, and proposes a left-wing sanctuary for Haitian migrants in Ohio.

In this opinion piece, the writer denounces Thom Tillis as the pivotal vote that installed a perceived buffoon at the helm of the Department of Defense, and expresses surprise at his later criticism of that official’s performance. He highlights Susan Collins’s repeated assertions of influence over Trump’s agenda, noting that her votes have often been symbolic. The author also alleges that Donald Trump carried out a coup in Venezuela with the help of a Jeffrey Epstein associate.

Additional commentary covers a mail-bag Q&A, Trump’s disdain for Ken Paxton, and a hypothetical scenario where armed left-wing activists create a sanctuary in Ohio to protect Haitian immigrants. The column ends with promotional information for upcoming events and subscription options.

Why it matters
