My goal for my immediate future is to not become my enemy. We tend to behave in the same way that turned us against them. Do not spare the reach of wisdom before making decisions that can not be retracted. Opinions are not facts.. hesitate before hate. Thats just my goals… feel free to adapt.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

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?

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

REMEMBER: It’s Secretary of DEFENSE & NOT War! It was changed from War to Defense for a REASON. Bravo Senator Captain Kelly. You are a true PATRIOT!🙏💙
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
