Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
From Washington, DC to Hollywood all the way to Near-Earth Orbit, Don Surber examines the events of last week and of course gives us his very own take on them.

What Trump wants from Greenland; And yes, their military includes dog sleds.
The USA has been defending Greenland longer than Denmark because on August 9, 1940, the Danes fought the Germans valiantly for 6 hours but threw in the towel because Denmark did not want to be annihilated.
Venezuela raid leaker jailed. WaPo worried.
You may recall that both the Washington Post and New York Times knew about the military’s plans to arrest of Maduro and his wife shortly before the January 3 raid. Both papers declined to use the story.
5 little girls may have ended trans madness
As BPJ of Bridgeport Middle School stood waiting for his turn, Emmy Salerno and four other girls from Lincoln Middle School took their turns at the shotput. Each stepped into the ring and then stepped out, forfeiting the match in protest to having to compete against a boy.
Rubio for president of Cuba; Will the grandson of Cuban exiles get his dream job?
The arrest of Nicolás Maduro in the wee hours of Saturday, January 3, introduced the planet to the Trump World Order. He is the captain now. He will extract your dictator in 88 minutes or less or your next one is free.
Beat the Press; In this administration, everyone pushes back against reporters
Meet the Press began as a weekly show where a group of reporters interviewed a Washington politician, politely taking turns asking questions. It devolved into the mess you see these days. For years Republicans never pushed back.
Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
It’s been yet another exciting week and Don Surber is here to review the events and put his own particular take on them.
Media outlets tell ICE’s side of the story; “You use deadly force because you don’t want to be run over.”
Tim Walz and the rest of the Democrats finally got what they wanted—someone killed by ICE. The party line is the woman was protesting. The law says she was interfering with an official act.
Temu Radar Failed; Venezuela, Chairman Xi lost the war without Trump firing a shot at him
By arresting Maduro for crimes far greater than paying off a hooker (excuse me, porn actress) Trump cost Russia and Red China dearly.
CEO saves Hilton
Conservatives don’t carry signs. They don’t organize boycotts. They are too busy to picket. They just make life hard for companies that go woke on them. Remember the gay protest day against Chick fil A? Conservatives didn’t chicken out. They responded by helping the fast food chain set a single day sales record.
America feared again; President Trump IS the new world order now.
Trump is the bane of the elitists but the champion of the people. Hungary’s Viktor Orban spoke for all of us when he said, “I will not shed a single tear over the fall of any narco state ever. The fewer there are, the better.”
Enjoying the Three Hour War; Marco Rubio sure did!
The big winner las weekend was Marco Rubio. He handled Sunday talk shows like Tiger Woods handles a nine iron.
The Three Hour War in Venezuela; Trump won the war first and then had the military fight it.
While most Americans were sleeping, the American military dropped a few bombs on Fort Tiuna—Venezuela’s largest military base—and arrested Nicolas Maduro and his wife, who face a federal indictment in New York for narco-terrorism and related charges. Peace through strength works best when you add stealth and speed.

Reviewing the ‘year in review’ stories
’Tis the season for year for the media to look back and write about old news. The lists tell more about the compiler than the stories themselves.
Shah back in 2026?
After 46 years of people predicting this, I am beginning to doubt that 92 million Iranians are about to topple their theocracy, considering 78 million of them were born after the ayatollah took over in 1979. This is the only life they have known.
A reply to NYT; What America Might Look Like With Zero White Males
One-third of the labor pool now are native white males. They are the ones who climb the poles on snowy nights to restore your electricity. They are the ones who fight the arctic seas to put fish on your table. They are the ones collecting your trash in the early morning rain. They are the ones braving snowstorms to feed the livestock.
Bardot sadly was right; The Islamization of France proves Islamophobia doesn’t exist because the fear is real
The death of Brigitte Bardot was so important that the New York Times gave her two obituaries, which is not bad for a French sex kitten from the 1950s and 1960s.
Running reporters ragged; Trump’s White House South gives him time to golf, talk to heads of state, and blow up ISIS encampments
In Trump’s second presidency, the nation marches on and the twits in the media have to work over the holidays. The poor silly saps have had to come up with their own lines because the DNC doesn’t have enough money to staff peddle their talking points, narratives and lies.
Means test Congress first; Social Security really is an entitlement. You paid in. Congress owes you.
The panic about Social Security running out of money is all blue smoke and mirrors done with the goal of giving Congress more control of the American economy. We have seen how well Congress handles money. For every $2 we give in taxes, Congress spends $3.
