The U.S. military has been quite busy under President Trump. However, unlike previous administrations, the U.S. military under President Trump has been conducting strategic strikes from the air, thereby negating the need to send U.S. troops on the ground and initiate “forever wars”. On Saturday, the strategic strikes by the Trump administration continued, and U.S. CENTCOM reported it conducted an airstrike in Syria to take out a group of ISIS militants. The Hill provided the latest updates on the strikes in Syria: The U.S. military on Saturday carried out “large-scale” strikes against ISIS militants in Syria, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced. CENTCOM forces worked with partners in the region to carry out the strikes. “The strikes today targeted ISIS throughout Syria as part of our ongoing commitment to root out Islamic terrorism against our warfighters, prevent future attacks, and protect American and partner forces in the region. U.S. and coalition forces remain resolute in pursuing terrorists who seek to harm the United States,” CENTCOM wrote in a statement posted on the social platform X. “Our message remains strong: if you harm our warfighters, we will find you and kill you anywhere in the world, no matter how hard you try to evade justice,” the statement reads. The latest strikes mark the second time since Dec. 19 that the U.S. struck ISIS targets in Syria. During the previous strike, 70 targets were hit, including ISIS fighters, weapons sites and infrastructure.

The New York Post reported President Trump is being given preliminary plans on possible airstrikes on Iran: The Trump administration is reportedly preparing preliminary plans for an attack on Iran, including the option of large-scale airstrikes. Officials are considering how to follow through on President Trump’s recent elevated threats against the Islamic Republic, including what sites might be targeted, insiders told the Wall Street Journal. A massive aerial strike campaign on multiple Iranian military targets is one option being considered — although Washington has not reached consensus on a plan of action. No military equipment or personnel have been moved for a potential attack, the insiders said. The conversations do not indicate that the US will strike, with the sources explaining that the planning is routine.

One week ago, the U.S. military captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife in a highly-successful operation with zero American fatalities. Now, we have some more details on exactly how they pulled off such a feat. One of Maduro’s guards just shared his first-hand account on what went down that day. Before we get into it, I have to give a disclaimer: I’m not sure how much is to be believed about his story. A Venezuelan guard loyal to Nicolas Maduro doesn’t exactly have tons of credibility, and he may have over-dramatized or lied about some things. But, what he had to say is still extremely interesting — and, to his credit, it did not put Maduro or Venezuela in a favorable light, at all! To tell you the truth, his story is a terrifying warning to our enemies! Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt seems to have validated his account and recommends that every American read it: Stop what you are doing and read this… https://t.co/v9OsbdLn1q — Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) January 10, 2026 According to this guard, the technology our military possesses may be even more powerful than you might imagine. He claims that none of the Venezuelan soldiers saw the attack coming, and once it happened, their weapons were useless. The guard described it as a “massacre” with Venezuelans standing “no chance.” Very interestingly, he noted that it wasn’t just guns they were fighting against. At one point, the U.S. “launched something…like a very intense sound wave” that caused the Venezuelan soldiers to bleed from the nose and collapse to the ground, unable to move. Some even vomited blood.

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.” The Maduro loyalist went on to give all enemies of the United States a severe, direct warning… Don’t mess with Uncle Sam! “They have no idea what they’re capable of,” he said, “After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with.” I highly recommend reading the Venezuelan security guard’s full account right 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. Ultimately, around 100 Venezuelan security forces were killed in the raid — and zero Americans lost their lives. As for what this mysterious weapon was, it may have been a directed energy weapon. The U.S. military has had these for awhile now, but up until now, they’ve never been used in combat (that we know of.) The New York Post noted: The military has had directed energy weapons — which neutralize targets using focused energy such as microwaves or laser beams — for years, but this could be the first time it’s been used in combat by the US, an ex-US intelligence source told The Post. China reportedly used a microwave weapon in 2020 against Indian soldiers during a border dispute in Ladakh. The source noted that those weapons have capability to produce at least some of the symptoms, including “bleeding, inability to move or function, pain and burning.” “I can’t say all of those symptoms. But yes, some,” the source said. “And we’ve had versions for decades.” One thing is for sure: any country thinking about picking a fight with the United States better think twice after this — especially those in Latin and South America that President Trump has been calling out recently. No wonder Colombian President Gustavo Petro was so quick to drop his tough guy act and rush to appease President Trump!

Now that the nation’s attention has turned to Minnesota and its massive welfare fraud – fraud so large (referred to as “industrial-scale” by the assistant U.S. attorney, possibly as much as $9 billion) that Democratic Gov. Tim Walz felt compelled to end his bid for reelection—we should take the opportunity to investigate the possibility of a different kind of fraud, the fraud made possible by Walz’s signature on the so-called “Driver’s Licenses for All” law, which enabled illegal immigrants in Minnesota to receive driver’s licenses from the state. Let’s be clear about what this policy represents. It’s not compassion. It is not common sense. It is not public safety. It is an open invitation to chaos, fraud, and the further erosion of confidence in our civic institutions. A driver’s license is not just permission to operate a motor vehicle. In modern America, it is one of the most powerful identity documents a person can possess. It opens doors—literally and figuratively. It allows easier access to banking services, rental agreements, government buildings, employment verification processes, and, yes, in many cases, even voter registration systems. When a state hands out official credentials to individuals who are in the country illegally, it is effectively laundering unlawful status into something that looks legitimate. Walz and his allies insisted this policy would make roads safe. That claim collapses under even minimal scrutiny. Driving safely depends on focus and awareness, obedience to the rules, and vehicle readiness for the road, not on redefining who is eligible for official identification. Public safety does not require the state to reward illegal behavior with government-issued credentials. On the contrary, it requires the consistent enforcement of the law. Vehicle crash data from Minnesota strongly support the contention that granting illegal immigrants driver’s licenses, despite Walz’s assertion, does not increase public safety. In 2022, there were 444 traffic fatalities in Minnesota. In 2023, that number fell to  402. But in 2024—the first full year the new “Driver’s Licenses for All” policy was in effect—the number of traffic fatalities jumped almost 20%, to 475. But the most troubling consequence of this driver’s license policy is not traffic safety. It is the risk it introduces to the integrity of elections and public programs. Minnesota, like many states, increasingly relies on identity-based systems for voter registration. While supporters of this bill protest that non-citizens are already denied the ability to vote legally, that is not the point. The issue is vulnerability. When you dramatically expand access to state-issued IDs for people whose presence in the country cannot be legally verified, you dramatically expand the opportunity for misuse, error, and fraud. Confidence in elections depends on safeguards. It depends on citizens believing that only eligible voters are participating and that the system is not being manipulated. Policies like handing out driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants undermine that confidence—not because every recipient will act in bad faith, but because the system is being made more porous by design. This is not hypothetical. State IDs are routinely used to register to vote. They are used to access absentee ballot processes. Expanding eligibility without corresponding enforcement and verification measures creates risk. Responsible governance requires minimizing risk, not dismissing it – and certainly not enlarging it. Beyond elections, the policy opens the door to broader identity fraud. A state driver’s license can be used to obtain credit, enter secure buildings, and access public benefits. Once issued, it becomes exceedingly difficult to revoke. When the state blurs the line between lawful residents and those who entered illegally, it creates downstream consequences for taxpayers and communities who are already stretched thin. This is a pattern we see again and again from progressive leaders: redefine the law to accommodate illegal behavior, then scold anyone who raises concerns as heartless or extreme. But there is nothing heartless about expecting the law to mean what it says, and there is nothing extreme about insisting that citizenship and legal presence still matter. Americans are a generous people. We welcome legal immigrants who follow the rules, work hard, and contribute to our communities. What we cannot accept is a government that, rather than enforcing the law, finds ways to accommodate those who break it. Walz’s decision to sign that bill sent exactly the wrong message. It told illegal immigrants that the state government would step in to shield them from the consequences of federal law. It told citizens that their concerns about election integrity and public safety were secondary to ideological virtue-signaling. And it told taxpayers that they would be expected to absorb the costs—financial and civic—of policies they never asked for. The Tea Party movement was born from a simple conviction: government must be accountable to the people, and the rule of law must apply equally to everyone. Minnesota’s driver’s license policy violates both principles. If we want a country that works, we must stop pretending that laws are optional and borders are meaningless. Walz may call his driver’s license policy progress. The rest of us know better.Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation The post Minnesota’s Dangerous Surrender of the Rule of Law appeared first on The Daily Signal.
