Things not going well in Venezuela
Was the oil already paid for? And where was it headed? Could be to rub a little salt in the wound for Ol' Xi. I think there is a lot more unseen animosity between the US and China than we know about. Probably three times as many classified documents coming in as non classified. Its halfway around the World, so its really tough to know what is happening in the South China Sea. CHIEF

Things not going well in Venezuela
I've been kinda going down a rabbithole. We are at war with China, just a non shooting war currently. They are actively trying to corner the market on precious metals, starting BRICS to topple the US Dollar as the World's Reserve Currency. They are in the process of dumping trillions in US bonds, to drive hyperinflation, here, in the US. Of course there is no access to the information from the West. But, I have seen estimates that the Chinese have spent around $200 million in Venezuela for military assistance, infrastructure (all siphoned off, more than likely), food and humanitarian aid (also likely siphoned off). ReutersChina's oil investments in VenezuelaChina is a major customer of and investor in Venezuela's oil sector, which President Donald Trump aims to revive following the U.S. military's ouster of President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday.China has invested heavily in Venezuelan O&G, enough to where they are purchasing approximately 700,000 BPD. All shipments have stopped since Maduro was nabbed. So, my theory, it was about oil. Not for the US to go steal it, since the economics wouldn't work. But to sink the Chinese investment, and a small portion of their supply (4.5%). Starving off oil was what won the WWII Pacific Theatre. That 4.5% might end up being crucial to China if they try to start shit on Taiwan. Venezuela was just the obvious choice to hit China and Russia in the nuts. China has been landing some haymakers lately. This was the closest place to kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, it was beef between the two World's largest Super Powers, poor Venezuelans were never thought of past this point. With US crop prices in the shitter, we could flood Venezuela with soybeans. CHIEF

Fort Worth is exploding
Ran over to Dayne's today. It was better eating at the restaurant than the time my son drove it home for 40 minutes. Everything was "on point", their sausage was smoked Havarti and jalapeño, spicy enough that you needed a drink after a bite. The Flamin' Hot Street Corn was killer. The wife had the Frito Pie Beans. We went at about 2:30 and the line was about 7-8 minutes long. Got their Trinity, which is a half pound of brisket, half pound of pork ribs, a link of sausage, and two sides for $45. Added another half pound of brisket, and the Frito Pie beans. Got out with a tip for about $100, so not bad at all for three. I have to say, they are one of the best bbq joints with set hours there is. Right up there with the sell it till its gone places. CHIEF

My wife mentioned going to Rio Brazos, but $36 chicken breasts, and a $37 pork chop caused me to “nope” out. You can get that mediocre shit for half the price, and for a lot closer of a drive. CHIEF

Christmas 2025
Anybody get anything cool yet? Only thing I really wanted was a Bighorn Infrared salamander grill. Steaks will be nice on it, but I really bought it for making chargrilled oysters. I looked to see if there was a video of someone grilling oysters yet, but nothing on Youtube. CHIEF

I have been told, by a reliable source, that as a guy you should never approach a girl with here phone out. Sit back and wait for an opportunity. If that opportunity never presents itself, consider it a dodged bullet. CHIEF
