THIS caught my attention this morning....
Updated 1 hour ago
The US has seized an oil tanker that had recently departed from Venezuela, according to the US Department of Homeland Security. It is the second time this month that the US has seized an oil-carrying ship off the country's coast. The move comes after US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was ordering a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela. Venezuela has condemned the latest US seizure, describing it as "theft and kidnapping". Venezuela has previously accused the US of trying to steal its resources. "These acts will not go unpunished," a statement from the Venezuelan government said, adding that it intends to file a complaint with the UN Security Council and "other multilateral agencies and the governments of the world".

I notice in that news report that US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X that: "Violence, drugs, and chaos will not control the Western Hemisphere." No, but he and Trump intend to `control the Western Hemisphere'.

52% off a Tower air fryer on Amazon, they weren't that much of a bargain with the Black Friday deal. It has two drawers, a 5l and a 3l, which work independently of each other. We've had the single drawer one for 3 years now and decided we needed a bigger one.

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Peter.... I think you are spot on and can anyone tell me why Hegseth keeps being referred to as 'Defence Secretary' when I thought Trump had renamed him 'War Secretary'. Is the title a moveable feast?
See THIS BBC report about another tanker under threat.
The US Coast Guard is in "active pursuit" of another vessel in international waters near Venezuela as tensions in the region continue to escalate. US authorities have already seized two oil tankers this month - one of them on Saturday. Sunday's pursuit related to a "sanctioned dark fleet vessel that is part of Venezuela's illegal sanctions evasion", a US official said. "It is flying a false flag and under a judicial seizure order." Washington has accused Venezuela of using oil money to fund drug-related crime, while Venezuela has described the tanker seizures as "theft and kidnapping". US President Donald Trump last week ordered a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving the country. Venezuela - home to the world largest proven oil reserves - has accused the Trump administration of trying to steal its resources.
