Congressman Salud Carbajal condemns Trump’s Venezuela raid

January 5, 2026

Congressman Salud Carbajal

OPINION by CONGRESSMAN SALUD CARBAJAL

The Trump administration’s decision to attack Venezuela was a reckless and deeply destabilizing action. Launching unilateral military strikes and seizing Maduro without a clear plan for what comes next risks creating a dangerous power vacuum — one that could plunge the entire region into chaos and endanger countless lives.

Today’s military action undermines the United State’s global standing and weakens the international rules-based order our country helped build decades ago. Maduro is an illegitimate leader, but these actions risk pulling our nation into yet another open-ended conflict at a time when the American people are demanding an end to forever wars abroad.

At the same time, these actions do nothing to put the interests of the American people first and fail to address our current cost-of-living crisis.

The Trump administration must immediately brief Congress on today’s strikes and its plans for the region. I also call on Speaker Johnson and other congressional Republican leaders to reassert Congress’s oversight and war-making authority. The American people deserve answers immediately.

Salud deserves no salute. Imagine what would have happened if Trump’s administration had consulted with Congress before taking action. Shumer, Schiff, AOC, Ilan Omar, etc. would have been on the phone warning Maduro in time for him to respond against our troops. The Dems have shown their anti-American positions in spades.

There’s a video on u tube where up-Chuck Shumer, in 2019, criticizes Trump for failing to remove Maduro from office.

But the Sacklers and Vicodin epidemic get a free pass and avoid Jail.

So Carbajal assumes there is no follow up plan? Hmmm, well, I did hear they have a follow up plan, on MY news feed! He should be reeling his influence at his favored media, telling them to tell the truth! Instead he supports the degraded news that only presses their agenda. And is solely designed to belittle the President. The American people DO deserve answers, as to why the borders were wide open so he could set up shop here in America, and flood our streets with this deadly drug?

If the Trump administration cured cancer and all age related illnesses, Salud would accuse them of undermining the medical industry.

They did,just get a bleach injection magas.

Carbajal was “elected” in with the assistance of the Dominion electronic voting machine in use in SLO County. Maduro was “elected” in with the help of the Smartmatic electronic voting machine, a precursor to the Dominion machine following Hugo Chavez, which was key to undermining of the once prosperous country of Venezuela.

Fox news settled a lawsuit over its Lies with dominion for 800million roughly. Please stop stating misinformation. Who said before his second term” we are not the world police, endless wars?” Attacki g a sovereign nation regardless of corruption without congressional approval and telling oil firms first, is insanity, on top of Pedophelia and rape.

Wrong. UCSB students keep getting him elected.

Go away already, Carbajal. That’s “Vete, Carbajal” if you need a little native-born translation.

Hmmmm, what’s ‘deeply destabilizing’ AND demoralizing (!) is leaving a dictator in power who refuses to pay the billion$ he owes the US; and has singe-handedly destroyed Venezuela for personal gain. Wait, Venezuelans around the world are dancing in the streets rejoicing (yeah, people dance in the street when there’s a war, right!), and you condemn his capture? Biden, at least publicly, was all in-favor of Maduro’s capture, but didn’t lift a finger to make it happen. Unfortunately, your opinion Salud shows your true colors and allegiance, and it’s not to the USA nor Venezuela.

If our president was taken people around the world and half the U.S would be dancing in the streets.

For finishing what Biden started? Probably. Make up your minds on policy.
