President Donald Trump said the United States will be “very strongly involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry in an interview just hours after he announced that the military had conducted a strike against the country and captured its leader, President Nicolas Maduro. Speaking to “Fox & Friends” by phone Saturday morning, Trump was asked about “the future” of the oil industry in the South American country, which houses the world’s largest oil reserves. “Well, I see that we’re going to be very strongly involved in it, that’s all,” the president responded. The Justice Department released an indictment Saturday morning of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on narco-terrorism conspiracy charges. In previous weeks, the Trump administration has killed at least 115 people in military strikes on boats it said were involved in drug smuggling.

That’s how I found myself, earlier this summer, putting a safe-enough-looking black plastic tub of micronized creatine monohydrate powder in my Amazon cart. “I’m a big, big proponent of creatine,” Fredericson said. There are even some early studies, Fredericson told me, that suggest creatine could be helpful in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, though he cautioned there aren’t enough studies to say so conclusively. I was reminded of the main downside of taking creatine: You kind of have to take it forever. To achieve the arms that launched a thousand home-workout magazine articles, you need a lot more than creatine and CrossFit.)
