Glad to not have to shop at big box stores and Amazon today through Tuesday to celebrate the purchasing power of the American people! I woke up late and going to work out at the gym. Life’s good and I don’t need anything. Friends & family know I love them.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US.
In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US.
Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez.
Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?
