I don't think the Trump administration really thinks those boats have drugs aboard. The point is not interdicting drugs, it's killing people and bragging about it.

I think the secondary purpose is weeding out the career military officers who might be squeamish about killing civilians.

Capturing and interrogating the people on the boats would interfere with the mission.

Today's pumpkin photo: Large pumpkins, previously marked as sold, are being moved via tractor yesterday. I guess the purchasers came to claim their pumpkins.

Nazi Noem set up a sniper unit on a rooftoop in Chicago overlooking ICE protestors below. She visited it this weekend. Trump and his thugs are going to gun down US citizens.

A federal judge late Sunday temporarily blocked the #Trump admin from deploying any #NationalGuard units to #Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when Trump mobilized #California troops for #Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before.

During a hastily called evening telephone hearing, US District Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order sought by CA & OR.

As the data shows @GovBillLee’s vouchers are going to wealthy families with kids already in private (Christian) schools, Lee wants to expand it and hand out more money to wealthy families: www.tennessean.com/story/news/p... (His goal is for every wealthy family to get this handout)

Pete Hegseth was barred from attending Biden’s 2021 Presidential inauguration because he was identified as an insider threat.

The current Secretary of War is an insider threat! Let that sink in.

The Secretary of War is under investigation by the DoW Inspector General for his actions during the Signal Gate 1 & 2 incidents.

It’s why Hegseth wants to fire all the IG’s investigating him.

Pay attention. This is serious.

“Today,💙our family braved the "warzone" streets of #Chicago to scavenge lunch.

The quiet. The relaxing parks. The comfortable seats in the rest. The kind people who held doors & helped us get the strollers down stairs. I can hardly believe we made it back home alive...

The big problem facing Chicago? The same problem facing the rest of the C:🚨Trump being in power & wanting to distract from his endless failures by deploying the MIL into city streets to intimidate US citizens.”
