Opinion | The 2024 election was always about pardoning Honduran drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández. If Kamala Harris and the Democrats didn't understand that, shame on them.

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.
"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Once I was dealing with harassment from a colleague and a prominent baseball player you all know pulled me aside and said he couldn’t believe it because if someone did that to his wife he’s beat his ass.
