In 2005, my cousin was the Honduran ambassador to the organization of American states. He met Hugo Chavez and shook his hands. He was protected by Cuban Secret Service. The US government had the audacity to ask him to not buy oil from Venezuela. He asked the US ambassador at the time under President Bush, why do you keep buying from Venezuela? LOL

This is so sad for the people. I worked with a fellow from Venezuela. He was upper middle class and had fled the country. Of course the oligarchy are rich, the rest of the people are living the socialist dream, suffering equally. Of course none of this is reported on the “World News “ because it is much more important to report on demonstrations about a policy Trump has ended.

They blame president Trump for Rising gas prices. They don't talk about the Democrats in California raising the price of gas about 25 cents a gallon every year. This is an example of a Canadian carbon tax Schedule based on a carbon tax rate which includes natural gas by the way. So even heating your homes, you pay carbon taxes period in the cold month of March, I paid $29 in carbon tax just on natural gas to heat my home. That's democracy Democrats or liberals as they call them in Canada. Conservatives are Republicans are totally against carbon taxes. If that's socialist New York democratic primary person becomes a congresswoman, you can foresee other socialist running as well and they will raise your fuel and natural gas prices just like this Canadian carbon tax Schedule here. Democrats in California don't want to tell you that it's them responsible for raising your gas prices aside from OPEC and Market forces. That's what the mainstream media doesn't tell you. Good thing I live in Canada and I am the canary in the coal mine warning you and others of the shape of things to come if you let extreme environmentalists into power.

When Nancy Pelosi says Ho Hum on wages
not going up enough, what about those wages in
California that are being made or impacted by carbon taxes to the Democrats force-fed to the people of California?
I don't think there was a referendum to approve a carbon tax by the local plebiscites. So
when Nancy Pelosi says "Ho Hum", she needs to look in the mirror and so does geriatric Governor Jerry Brown. He was my governor in 1980 when I graduate from high school. I think he has Jesuit dementia.
