@Smapti Doesn’t Venezuela recognize it? Hey, it woudln’t bother me if the felon and his co-conspirators had to hide somewhere. The more countries refusing their entry, the better.
And War Criminal Hegseth’s response to the latest fiasco is, “Sure did”.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded to a report that he ordered the military to kill all passengers aboard a boat suspected of ferrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea in September.
According to The Washington Post , the Sept. 2 boat strike initially left two survivors clinging to the boat. The Post alleges Adm. Mitch Bradley, head of Special Operations Command, then ordered a second strike in order to comply with Hegseth’s orders and to ensure the survivors couldn’t call on other traffickers to retrieve them and their cargo.
In a post on X on Friday, Hegseth said the strikes were intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.”
“Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command,” Hegseth said.
The best lawyers according to whom, your idol, the convicted felon?
The felon tries his hand at writing a country song.
President Donald Trump fired off an endorsement for MAGA Republican Matt Van Epps (R) in a Tennessee congressional race Sunday by making some bizarre claims about the Democratic opponent.
Aftyn Behn (D) currently serves as a state representative for the Nashville area, and is running in a special election against Van Epps to replace Rep. Mark Green (R). The race is being closely watched nationwide since it has the potential to flip a red seat blue.
Trump posted to Truth Social, “I am asking all America First Patriots in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, who haven’t voted yet, to please GET OUT AND VOTE on Election Day, Tuesday, December 2nd, for a phenomenal Candidate, Matt Van Epps. Matt is fighting against a woman who hates Christianity, will take away your guns, wants Open Borders, Transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, and openly disdains Country music.”
Pete’s Press Corps performs obeisance to senior Department of Defense personnel.
The Department of Defense is set to welcome its new gaggle of press loyalists with a meet-and-greet and access to senior DOD personnel.
The new MAGA press corps will pick up their press badges and interact with senior Pentagon officials at a three-day fair running Dec. 1-3. They will also be part of a rare Pete Hegseth press scrum. One attendee, Laura Loomer, said the festivities are dubbed “New Media Week.”
Ah, yes. It’s a New Media Week, a Brave New Media Week.
Seriously, by this point, the only reason the cheater-in-chief is pardoning people is because they did it better than he did.
President Donald Trump sprung a fellow convicted fraudster from prison this week after the man had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for a $1.6 billion Ponzi scheme.
David Gentile first reported to prison on Nov. 14 following his sentencing in May for using funds controlled by his company GPB Capital to scam around 10,000 investors over a period of several years, the New York Times reports .
He was freed Wednesday, after just 12 days behind bars.
In securing Gentile’s conviction last August, prosecutors had cited victim statements from more than 1,000 “hardworking, everyday people”—among them veterans, farmers, teachers and nurses—who’d lost money as a result of his crimes.
Or maybe he’s just flipping a coin.
It is unclear why the president chose to commute Gentile’s sentence, or why the latter fraudster’s co-defendant in the case, Jeffry Schneider, remains behind bars.
Have you wondered why the felon pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez? His response to that very question will muddle your mind.
President Donald Trump was grilled about his decision to pardon former president of Honduras and convicted drug trafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez on Sunday while simultaneously boasting about his efforts to crack down on drug trafficking.
During a Q&A with reporters on Air Force One, Trump was asked by a reporter about his decision to pardon Hernandez, who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for drug trafficking and weapons charges in June last year.
“You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S. Can you explain more about why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?” questioned the reporter.
Now, that’s a great question, but not clear enough for the felon.
After Trump replied, “Well, I don’t know who you’re talking about,” the reporter specified, “Juan Orlando Hernandez.”
Now that we’ve discovered the felon just maybe thinks he’s pardoned more than one notorious drug trafficker, he launches into what passes for an answer to his gelatinous mind.
“Well I was told– I was asked by Honduras, many of the people of Honduras, they said it was a Biden setup,” responded Trump. “I don’t mean Biden– look, Biden didn’t know he was alive, but it was the people that surround the Resolute Desk, surround Biden when he was there, which was about very little time, and the people of Honduras really thought he was set up and it was a terrible thing.”
Trump continued, “He was the president of the country and they basically said he was a drug dealer because he was the president of the country, and they said it was a Biden administration setup, and I looked at the facts and I agree with them.”
Asked, “What evidence can you share that he was set up?” the president replied, “Well, you take a look. I mean, they could say that you take any country you want, if somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”
“I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly,” announced Trump in a Truth Social post last week. “CONGRATULATIONS TO JUAN ORLANDO HERNANDEZ ON YOUR UPCOMING PARDON.”
Why does this look like he’s laying groundwork to declare his own innocence in the murders at sea?
I’m thinking it’s not the Afghanis believing in witchcraft here.
President Donald Trump shared a post from Robert O’Neill , the Navy Seal Team 6 member credited with killing Osama bin Laden , saying Afghans would “chop your head off” if they saw a coffee machine because they would believe you are a “witch.”
The president shared the post on Truth Social on Saturday, a day after O’Neill posted it to X.
“If you’ve never been to Afghanistan, you wouldn’t understand. If you showed these people a Nespresso machine and gave them free coffee, they would assume you were a witch and chop your head off… But let’s bring ’em in!,” O’Neill wrote .
Trump endorsed the take a few days after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.
And O’Neill? Yeah, he’s all kinds of trustworthy. (I’ve left the footnotes in.)
After separating from the US Navy, O’Neill began working as a motivational speaker .[10] In 2015, he became a contributor to the cable news channel Fox News ,[9] though had left the company by August 2021, instead appearing on competitor Newsmax TV that October.[21] O’Neill has also published two books:
A fan of the Washington Redskins ,[4] O’Neill was able to meet the team[24] a week after his claim of shooting bin Laden was publicized in 2014.[2]
In 2016, O’Neill was charged in Montana with driving under the influence ; prosecutors dropped the charges.[25]
On 23 August 2023, O’Neill was arrested in Frisco, Texas , on “a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication ” after allegedly assaulting a hotel security guard. He was booked into the Collin County jail, and released on a bond of $3,500 (equivalent to $3,612 in 2024).[25] In August 2024, O’Neill sued the security guard—Johnny Loomis—for defamation , saying the 2023 claims were fabricated; he also filed suit against Omni Hotels & Resorts for negligence, saying they hired a guard who “lacked adequate qualifications.”[18]
In December 2023, O’Neill held a small share of the Armed Forces Brewing Company in Norfolk, Virginia , and served as its brand ambassador . His previous comments about Joshua Kelley, and his legal trouble in Frisco, prompted public opposition to a proposed brewery a few miles from Naval Station Norfolk ; the planning commission voted four-to-two against recommending the brewery permit. The company removed O’Neill as the company’s director of military services and “toned down O’Neill’s public-facing role.”[26]
On November 4, 2024, O’Neill was criticized online for his sexually charged reply to a tweet by Harry Sisson publicizing five young men’s vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States presidential election . To the original tweet stating that “real men support Harris”, O’Neill replied: “You’re not men. You’re boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines .” He followed up, saying, “These liberal, pussy ‘males’ will never defend you. I got you .. they don’t.”[27]
The felon’s updated the White House webpage for a very dictatorial stunt.
Donald Trump isn’t just content this week with personally demeaning female journalists , POTUS has now decided to make his war on the so-called “enemy of the people” online official with a new White House website page .
Amidst the tragic shooting of two West Virginia National Guard members in DC on November 26 and a flurry of Truth Social posts and more attacks on Joe Biden’s legacy Friday from the ex-Apprentice host, the Executive Branch launched a digital pummeling of “the Media Offender of the Week.” Promising to chronicle a “record of the media’s false and misleading stories
And Cruell de Vile joins in with the “Sure did!” chorus.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday confirmed that she instructed the federal government to carry out the deportation and transferring of Venezuelan detainees to El Salvador despite a court order halting the flights.
“The decisions that are made on deportations, where flights go, and when they go are my decision at the Department of Homeland Security,” Noem told NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press .” “And we will continue to do the right thing and ensure that dangerous criminals are removed.”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) last week indicated in court filings that Noem directed officials to continue deportations to a Salvadoran megaprison amid an ongoing review of whether the Trump administration could be held in contempt after defying a judge’s oral order seeking the return of more than 100 Venezuelan detainees to the U.S.
