Vicious wildfires have swept through Argentine Patagonia, burning more than 5,500 hectares. Hundreds of firefighters and volunteers are battling the inferno, which threatens local communities and a popular tourist destination in the Andes Mountains. “Officials in Chubut province said helicopters, amphibious planes, and air tankers have been helping workers to extinguish the flames, their efforts hampered by massive columns of smoke, which have reduced visibility for ground crews,” Sky News reports. Footage below: Horrific images coming out of Chubut Province in Patagonia Argentina. The forest fire is completely out of control and has now reached Route 40. At least 3,000 tourists had to be evacuated this week from several forest areas near the Andes mountains in Chubut province, in… pic.twitter.com/LXrx1VVor1 — Volcaholic (@volcaholic1) January 9, 2026 Fires continue to rage across 3000 hectares of forests in parts of the Argentine Patagonia, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate. The blazes come one year after the region suffered its worst wildfire season in three decades. https://t.co/3iCHJYlYL4 pic.twitter.com/NL4LwofUhP — Sky News (@SkyNews) January 10, 2026 Sky News shared further: The province’s governor, Ignacio Torres, warned on Instagram on Saturday that “the next 48 hours are vital” as he urged the entire community to remain alert. Mr Torres, who said on Wednesday that “more than 3,000 tourists” had been moved away from the Puerto Patriada lake resort along with a few dozen locals, said “eight aircraft are operating in different sectors of the [Puerto Patriada] fire” along with “additional aircraft and support firefighters from Chile and Cordoba.” His post gave different details on the firefighting effort and the spread of the fires, saying nearly 500 people, including firefighters, rescuers, security forces, and support personnel, are fighting the blazes, which have consumed “more than 5,500 hectares (55 square km) of fields and native forest.” Their efforts in the most critical sectors include “reinforcing firebreaks, cooling hotspots, and opening and widening roads,” he said. There are unconfirmed reports that the blaze was the result of arson. Investigators are looking into the allegations. Wildfires sweep across parts of Patagonia Read more https://t.co/kN0yKfxjfH — Sky News (@SkyNews) January 10, 2026 More from Prensa Latina: The newspaper quotes the lament of Chubut’s Secretary of Forests, Abel Nievas, as he describes the impact of the blaze, which broke out on January 5, as “the worst environmental tragedy in 20 years” in that province, where the flames have consumed some 7,000 hectares of native forest. The main fire front is concentrated in the Epuyen and El Hoyo area. In Puerto Patriada, at least ten homes were destroyed by the fire. The municipality of El Maiten asked its residents to be prepared for a possible evacuation. Other nearby towns, such as El Coihue and Buenos Aires Chico, remain on alert, with municipal facilities already prepared as a precaution to receive evacuees. The Municipality of El Hoyo implemented a preventative self-evacuation for residents, tourists, and visitors of the El Pedregoso area, as well as for the Aldea San Francisco area, while traffic on Route 40 remains restricted. Authorities in Chubut believe the fire was intentionally set, and judicial investigators are working to corroborate the charge. Watch additional footage below:

by Lindsey Hough Satellite giant EchoStar just sold off a block of radio frequencies to Elon Musk’s SpaceX for a jaw-dropping $17 billion. To most investors, it looked like another headline in the crowded 5G race. But to legendary tech investor Jeff Brown it was something else entirely: A signal. One that confirms a thesis he’s been writing about for years… That SpaceX isn’t just a rocket company. It’s quietly positioning itself to become America’s next great mobile network operator. If he’s right… this could be the final “tell” before Musk unleashes what may become the second $10 trillion company in history. And the opportunity is massive for those who know how to position themselves now. That’s the real story the mainstream press isn’t telling you. In light of this recent news, Jeff has issued an urgent briefing. Click here to see it now.

Did Peter Doocy show us a demonstration of the “Active Denial System” likely used in the Maduro raid back in 2013? It seems so. Or, perhaps maybe even more accurately, I might suggest that if this is what they were publicly showing us back in 2013, can you imagine what we actually have now 13 years later? Because honestly folks, do you think the stuff the USMIL shows on Fox News is really their latest and greatest? Or is it still stuff lightyears ahead of other countries and sneak peaks are given on Fox News as a deterrent to other nations, but do you really think we don’t have stuff 10x more powerful than this that we are not telling anyone about? Still, absolutely fascinating — check this out from 13 years ago: NEW: Peter Doocy shows footage of himself being hit by an ‘Active Denial System,’ similar to what was allegedly used during Maduro’s capture.

According to an alleged witness account, Venezuelan soldiers started bleeding through the nose and vomiting during the capture. “At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it. It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside,” a guard reportedly said. “We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was…” “We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it.” Doocy himself posted today he’s been waiting 13 years to have a reason to play this video again: I’ve been waiting 13 years to have an excuse to play this video again https://t.co/6waJUSCywc — Peter Doocy (@pdoocy) January 11, 2026 Backup video here if needed: RELATED REPORTS: CHILLING: Venezuelan Guard Claims U.S. Used ‘Mystery Weapon’ that Brought Maduro’s Soldiers to Their Knees Incredible New Details Emerge About “Next Gen Weapons” Used By USMIL In Venezuelan Operation A post is going viral on X today from someone named Mike Netter. And it's easy to see why -- the post gives stunning details about the next generation weapons we deployed in Venezuela that allowed the USMIL to swoop in, extract Maduro from his fortress, and not even have a single hair on any soldier's head touched. Take a look here: ?This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.

Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before. Interviewer: And then the battle began? Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything. Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn't they help? Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist? Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with. Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America? Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region. Absolutely incredible, right? But if you've been around here for a while, you know we do our homework and we don't just write articles based on random posts on X. So why am I showing you this? Because Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt essentially just gave it her stamp of approval, seemingly confirming the details are accurate: Stop what you are doing and read this… https://t.co/v9OsbdLn1q — Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) January 10, 2026 So there you go! At Press Sec's request, I am bringing it to you! We also have this from President Trump last year... Do you remember when he flat out told us we had weaponry that no one even knew about? See here: BACK IN APRIL OF LAST YEAR... .@POTUS TRIED TO TELL EVERYONE... pic.twitter.com/KfKZI63uhK — SirOliverPollock(KAIZER) (@SirCensorLot) January 10, 2026 It seems like SOME of that weaponry was finally put on display in Venezuela and indeed no one had any idea it was coming or even what it was once it hit. Truly a remarkable job by our Department of War! You also need to understand that this victory did far more than just get us a win in Venezuela... It also put the entire world on notice that things have changed. Suddenly, President Trump caught Russia and China completely flat-footed and now not only are they caught off guard but every country in the BRICS or CRINK that thought they were safe partnering up with Russia and/or China is suddenly re-evaluating. The Venezuelan strike will play dividends far in to the future, and it likely also just secured the Greenland deal. Glenn Beck explains more here: Share! Any thoughts?

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said Vice President JD Vance would be a “great nominee” in the 2028 presidential election. “As people speculate on what’s going to happen down the road in 2028, I agree with President Trump and [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio. I think JD Vance would make a great, great presidential nominee,” the Republican governor said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday.” BREAKING: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin throws his support behind VP Vance — calling him a “great” Republican nominee for a potential White House run in 2028. pic.twitter.com/BT7TrPwsrP — Fox News (@FoxNews) January 11, 2026 Fox News has more: The answer by Youngkin, who’s been viewed the past two years by political pundits as a potential contender for the 2028 GOP presidential nomination, was the first time he’s publicly weighed in the next White House race. Youngkin’s “Fox News Sunday” interview came just days before completing his single term as governor of Virginia, which by law prevents governors from running for re-election and serving consecutive terms. While Vance has yet to say anything publicly on whether he’ll launch a 2028 campaign to succeed Trump, he is considered by many on the right to be the president’s heir apparent to eventually take over the MAGA and America First mantles. Vance was endorsed last month by Erika Kirk at an annual summit hosted by Turning Point USA, the increasingly influential and politically powerful conservative group. Vance is currently the overwhelming favorite to be the 2028 GOP presidential nominee. Some early 2028 GOP primary polls have Vance leading by 40+ points. Here’s a breakdown: CNN’s pollster Harry Enten reports JD Vance is the clear favorite to win the 2028 GOP nomination, according to prediction market odds. “Nobody else is even close.” “JD Vance is like Mario Andretti and the rest of the GOP is going around in go karts when it comes to 2028.”… pic.twitter.com/hzV4kJsrp9 — TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) December 30, 2025 Newsweek noted: While Vance is certainly storming ahead in early polls, there is still everything to play for as the primaries are around a year away. Rubio is still seen as a rival to Vance when it comes to the GOP nomination, however he has said that if Vance enters the race he would rule out entering himself. He said to Vanity Fair: “If JD Vance runs for president, he’s going to be our nominee, and I’ll be one of the first people to support him.” That said, there is still want insiders have called a “proxy war” between the ‘Make America Great Again’ activist base and the camp of Rubio and Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles. Also, no Republican vice president has become the party’s presidential nominee in the 21st century, as former Vice President Dick Cheney decided not to run and Mike Pence’s campaign in 2024 only lasted for a few months. George H. W. Bush was the last Republican vice president to become the presidential nominee.
