Shortly after America’s “Seal Team Six” blew up a boat in the Caribbean that Pete Hegseth claimed had 11 “Narco terrorists” on board plus a cargo of drugs headed for the United States I wrote here that this was questionable at best, and OBVIOUSLY an illegal order. Within a day or so Hegseth was on Fox “news” bragging about the strike and pointing out he was watching it as it happened. There was a video released showing the boat cruising in the water (looked more like an elongated ski boat to me) along with the “hit” the boat took from a projectile dropped (likely Lazer guided) turning what was left of the boat into a burning inferno.

What the released video DIDN’T show was the two possible survivors who were clinging to the remains of the boat who were then EXECUTED with another “projectile.” Now, don’t get me wrong here because I believed (and still believe) the original strike was ILLEGAL. Worse than that the MURDER of the two apparent survivors amounts to a “war crime” despite the FACT there’s been no declaration of war with Venezuela where these (now dead) people originated. (Nazi’s were executed for similar actions after WW II) Up until today there have been over 80 people MURDERED in boats in the Caribbean (or Eastern Pacific) for allegedly carrying illegal drugs – in this instance, if that’s true, the drugs would be Cocaine.

Now, picture in your mind drugs being “imported” into the U.S. across one of our border crossings with Mexico – in this case picture the drugs being cocaine. Would whoever it was bringing the drugs across the border be EXECUTED on the spot? Wouldn’t they be arrested and tried in a court of law? Also, keep in mind the real danger of drugs coming into the U.S. would be Fentanyl not cocaine. It’s Fentanyl that has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of drug overdoses in America. There’s another interesting part of this “story” which adds to the pathetic absurdity of it all – Trump just pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, former Honduran president, who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for trafficking around 500 TONS (one MILLION pounds) of Cocaine into the U.S. So much for the “Narco terrorist” justification for MURDERING over 80 “suspected” people in possession of cocaine. Is Trump this STUPID or is he simply failing to get advice on what a bad look it is to pardon this dude?

One more thing. These suspected drug running boats would have needed to make several re-fueling stops in order to reach the American mainland. (They were operating via outboard motors) Therefore, it is hard to postulate they were headed anywhere other than maybe Trinidad or some other place in the Caribbean – and, if somehow they had supplies of fuel to get them to Florida is it rational to expect them to bring these alleged drugs to a port somewhere in Florida on these motor boats? If that was possible, what would it say about our Coast Guard or the Florida authorities. What I’m saying is NOTHING in the government’s explanation of these extra judicial MURDERS makes sense other than to call them MURDERS.

For years I’ve read in several different places that Vladimir Putin was operating the world’s largest organized crime syndicate from Moscow in Russia. Well, those of us paying attention to Trump through the years know that Putin is likely Trump’s idol. The reasons for this remain a secret to me (pee tape? – lots of rumors of “kompromat”) but Trump can’t seem to hide his predilection toward mob bosses. (AKA Juan Orlando Hernández above) He hasn’t hidden his contempt for what he calls “rats” – that would be people who agree to tell the authorities the TRUTH when involved in sketchy situations – like Trump’s former “fixer” Michael Cohen. Do you find it curious that the man who calls himself the top legal officer in the country claiming you’re a “rat” if you tell the truth to authorities who are investigating criminal conduct? Or, is it just me?

Of course, none of this SHOULD be surprising to anyone who’s been paying attention to Trump since he came down that escalator back in 2015. He’s been riding “roughshod” over our constitution ever since. In Trump 1.0 he actually had people working in his administration who believe in the constitution which seems to have P’oed enough right wing sycophants (like those involved in Project 2025) to make sure those people, or others who think like them, are not there in Trump 2.0. In other words, the guardrails are off. This for a 34 times FELON (credibly accused of about 50 more alleged FELONIES) who inspired an attempted coup by instigating an insurrection on the nation’s Capitol. To PROVE he has no idea what all this means Trump has accused six democrats of “sedition” for reminding military personnel of their obligation to refuse “illegal orders.” (like those referenced above)

So, should anyone in America be surprised that when “we the people” elect a 34 times FELON that he treats the constitution as a “suggestion” (like I’ve heard mentioned by others) instead of rules we are all obligated to follow? Should we be surprised that the level of corruption is off the charts? (I’ve read Trump’s “take” of the corruption is into the several BILLIONS of dollars – and, he wants another $230 MILLION because he was indicted after Trump 1.0 – for what was alleged to be PROVABLE criminal conduct) Honestly, considering the preceding few pardons, his ARROGANT corruption is a bit embarrassing. It reflects poorly on “we the people” who elected him.

Here’s the writing I see “on the wall.” Democrats are going to take control of the House of Representatives in November of 2026 (unless Trump figures out how to prevent a “free and fair” election – which is entirely possible) and he’s going to be IMPEACHED for the third time – I can actually envision more than one more IMPEACHMENT – unless the Senate FINALLY votes to convict. The lawlessness has been so brazen since virtually the day he took (lied about) the oath of office that the challenge will be “where to start.” Personally, I think a great place to start would be the MURDERS of these “boat people” in the Caribbean. But, what about the crypto scams? What about the jet? What about the shakedowns of American corporations? (Is there still an emoluments clause in the Constitution?) The list could go on well longer than my fingers would last.

Just like I wrote on my “No Kings” protest sign any IMPEACHMENT must include JD Vance. I want to say Trump is mentoring Vance into becoming a prolific LIAR but I feel that doesn’t give Vance credit for his own willingness to LIE out of ambition. I mean there are several republican members of the Senate who say one thing (about Trump) out of one side of their mouths and, then, when the cameras are rolling say something that’s the opposite – out of fear. Vance used to be one of them. (Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Marko Rubio, etc. etc.) But Vance has proven himself willing to say anything to anyone, even if it’s so absurd he’s got to hope Trump doesn’t pick up on it. Like for example, the immigrants “eating the cats and doges” in the past election. (Further evidence of how ridiculously stupid “we the people” can be)

Speaking of the MURDERS of the boat people mentioned above I have to feel Trump feels perfectly safe from any future prosecution – which could be facing others in the chain of command. I don’t know how anyone could miss the irony here because, apparently, it was “Seal Team Six” who carried out the extrajudicial slayings. Are they clear from responsibility, is Hegseth free from prosecution – once democrats control the “White House?” I think we’ll know how people are feeling when the next wave of Trump pardons come out. Will he pardon Admiral Bradley, who the “White House” today was “throwing under the buss?” Stay tuned!!!

Final Thought: I’ve been writing for some time now that Trump was going to do whatever was necessary to keep “we the people’s” attention off the Epstein files. There’s a new scandal every day, but “war crimes?” That seems to be getting people’s attention. Not the FACT Trump’s approval is down to around 36% in favor and 60% opposed – that’s a negative 24 point spread (for you non math people) – but, that’s not getting too much attention. “We the people” don’t seem to be approving of Trump in virtually ANY category. Then, what about the economy? Isn’t that something which will take people’s attention off Epstein?

Well, I have to admit when Trump took (lied about) the oath of office I predicted he would TANK the economy within six months. Several months ago I admitted I was wrong and amended my prediction to one year. That one year will be up on January 20th, 2026 and, honestly, I hope I’m wrong again. However, it’s beginning to look more and more like I might be correct. (this time) This I can guarantee you – it’s just a matter of time until Trump has succeeded in what could be called his seventh bankruptcy. He’s been shaking down corporations, law firms, and elite universities (to their sad future the complicity will be embedded in American History – which goes for the cowardly members of Congress as well) which reminds me of 1930’s Nazi Germany.

I’m not a fan of social media – seems to me the division in America dates right back to the beginning of the Social Media “boom.” So, now we have an oligarchy full of what I call the “tech bros” who will seemingly do ANYTHING for money. What we’re looking at is the bulk of the American “media” coming at us via these apps – like Google, Xwitter, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), and TikTok. TikTok was supposed to be “gone” unless offloaded to American interests – well, after something like nine months after its “drop dead” date Trump ushered in a “deal” for Rupert Murdoch (ie Fox “news”) and Larry Ellison the owner of Paramount via his son. Just assures further right wing control of our media.

Then there’s Peter Thiel and Palantir, the government’s intelligence/AI snooping software that we’re supposed to trust to be minding their appropriate business. Thiel, like his former partner in PayPal (f)Elon Musk, has figured out how to gain BILLIONS in government contracts and is sucking up to Trump. Maybe their origins make a little sense to me, but presently (knowing Thiel’s relationship to Trump) it feels a bit dodgy to think they’re not snooping on people like me. I mean, it appears there’s little Palantir can’t do when it comes to snooping – and “we the people” should be on high alert. Yikes!!!
