The issue about killing the last 2 survivors is secondary: Trump and Hegseth have ordered *83* murders, not 2.
None of these people were ‘enemy combatants’.
They were suspected drug smugglers until proven to be guilty in a fair trial.
Without that, they were murdered.
That is all.

Why should Ukraine ever TRUST the US AGAIN on "Security Guarantees" when the US had PREVIOUSLY guaranteed their "security" IF Ukraine gave up their Nuclear Weapons, which they did ?
All that RE Developers Trump, Witkoff & Kushner re are really negotiating are their own Biz Interests in Russia. 🤬

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

We must understand the context for all this. Trump needs Hegseth to be in exactly the position he is in now in 2026, 2027, and 2028, as it is not clear that anyone but a committed white nationalist, Christofascist militant would help Trump with the martial law he intends. So Hegseth *can't* go down.
President Trump said that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not give a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea in September.
Trump says Hegseth denied issuing order to kill boat crew
The president also said he would not have wanted a second strike on a boat allegedly carrying drugs, which occurred after U.S. forces realized the initial attack left two survivors, as The Post report...

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Very little U.S travel
