Op-ed:
Venezuela...A 'Hostile Act' in the Making?
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

There's a song by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice about the life of Argentinian leader Eva PerĂ³n called “Don't Cry for Me Argentina”...and today there should be a new song called “Do Cry for Me Venezuela” for the country once referred to as the “Venice of the Americas” has turned into a third world cesspool and done so solely in the name of socialism.

Socialism...where other people's money fuels an economy and drives societal norms...that is until you run out of said other people's money or in the case of Venezuelan dictator Nikolas Maduro you don't see the handwriting on the wall...handwriting as in the Venezuelan people have had enough.

Gotten into power in what many believe was a rigged election, Nikolas Maduro...who followed the infamous Hugo Chavez into power...started a second term in office on January 10th of this year in what Venezuelans called a “boycotted election”...with many foreign governments refusing to recognize the election results. In fact, on January 23rd, Maduo's challenger National Assembly opposition candidate Juan Guaido...whom Maduro describes as a U.S.-backed puppet...invoked article 233 of the constitution to assume an interim presidency thus declaring Maduro a usurper. Then he declared and swore himself in as Venezuela's rightful interim ruler, at which time President Trump publicly recognized Juan Guaido as Venezuela's duly-elected leader as did other Western nations, all while Maduro accused Guaido of staging a coup and ordering his arrest.
