This is one of our ships and crew.

They are every bit American and a source of pride for this country and admired by all others.

The Trump Administration committed and continues to commit war crimes.

This was never necessary. This is a precursor to a premeditated war. If I can find the video on YouTube of the USA Coast Guard stopping drug runners in the Pacific Ocean I will post it here. The USA Coast Guard are magnificent.

Here is basically the PROTOCOL to stop drug runners. 

The speed boat is full of drug contraband and is moving with four marine engines at full throttle. Their goal is to make it to a destination for distribution of the contraband with four hours of fuel.

The drug runners are spotted by the USA Coast Guard on patrol no different than the spotting Hegseth is doing in the Caribbean. Once spotted the Coast Guard cutter ( click here) sets an intercept course. There is one problem, the speed boat has an advantage in distance and increasing the distance from the cutter. 

The commander of the ship is not worried because on board of the cutter are sharp shooters and a helicopter. The helicopter lifts off with a full compliment of competent soldiers specially trained for this mission. In no time the helicopter catches up with the speed boat. What happens next only speaks to the magnificent expertise of the USA top brass in preparedness and respect for life.

The helicopter pilot announces their arrival and demands the speed boat to stop. It does not. The second warning is blasted from the helicopter but this time it is stated there will be consequences if the boat does not stop. It does not. 

An order is given to the crew on board to prepare to fire. A third warning is announced and the speed boat does not stop. The side door of the helicopter is opened to reveal a gunman with a 50 caliper rifle. He takes aim at the speed boat’s first engine and fires. The first of four engines is penetrated by the 50 caliper bullet and ceases to operate.

This is a near impossible task. The speed boat is moving and even changing course to get away from the helicopter. The helicopter is flying in a trajectory to end the forward progress of the speed boat. The boat is on the ocean with waves and wakes from those engines. The engines are a moving target on an ocean with many moving parts.

The USA Coast Guard sharpshooter takes aim at the second engine and fires. The boat continues to try an evade the helicopter. The second engine is penetrated by a 50 caliper bullet, then third and then the four. The boat finally stops adrift on the ocean.

The helicopter hovers and announces all on board are under arrest and are to stand down. The sharpshooter remains on alert to end any thought of firing back at the helicopter. The cutter arrives to arrest the drug runners as members of the cutter crew populates the speed boat escorting the men to their ship and then confiscates all the contraband as proof to their mission. 

The drug runners are intercepted, the contraband in government hands with no bloodshed or threat to human life. This is an absolutely true scenario that occurs with the USA Coast Guard all the time. These ships are specially outfitted with taxpayers dollars, the crew is specially trained by taxpayers money, and the missions are paid for by taxpayer money. At no time along the way is there ever an understanding that the speed boat crew is expendable. The drug runners have no respect for human life but that does not mean the USA military shouldn’t either.

This country and it’s soldiers are honorable with a clear understanding life is precious and the USA respects international law.

Mr. Hegseth is violating international law in international waters and is committing heinous crimes against humanity. Mr. Trump is demanding these missions, boasting about them for his own deranged purposes. The Congress needs to act to end this brutality. Bloodshed is not a political advertisement. It’s however failed diplomacy.

Be fearless, not lawless. Thank you, Elissa.

Incompetence

Add to the shenanigans of the DOJ and Noems unlawful revelations the fact Hegseth is violating human rights as well as the Geneva Conventions addressing the treatment of prisoners there is a great deal of wrong doing within the Trump administration. Additionally, Trump only offers lies and cover-ups in order to hide all the violations of USA policy.

When is Congress going to act to stop these enormous abuses of power causing escalation in violence domestically and internationally? 

There are a lot of theatrics with this administration, but, no substantive policy or methods to bring these wrongful actions to an end.

Trump is lawless and demands the same of his cabinet. Congress must act and these unhinged tactics must end. Trump is NOT allowed to act against our allies in the way he is demonstrating such departure from negotiations within NATO regarding Ukraine.

None of these scenarios are acceptable. All are outside the policies of the USA Rule of Law and long held treaties. Congress is negligent at the very least if not in contempt of the USA Constitution itself. Has everyone gone mad? This is the country, its governance and the balance of power throughout the world. Trump and his administration is way out of line.

Stating this brash administration is incompetent is being generous.

Not persecution, prosecution.

The DOJ appears unable to function within the Rule of Law. The case Scott MacFarlane is referring to has already gone to court and Taylor Toronto was found guilty of insurrection on January 6th. He was to appear in a pleading to set his sentence. In order to stop the sentencing as the DOJ was unable to stop the trial, two prosecutors handling the case are placed on leave. 

Amazing.

Taylor Toronto is a very dangerous person known to seek violence against President Obama. Yet, rather than have him sentenced and placed in jail/prison the Trump DOJ is moving to end his sentencing. That is interference in Due Process and negating a jury’s decision and is unlawful and corrupt.

That is not all that is bizarre with this administration, Kristi Noem appeared on Face the Nation and clearly stated the USA would find all involved in the violence resulting in death and maiming of two national guard troops and PERSECUTE them. She said it and meant it. 

She also seemed to know clearly the murderer was radicalized within the USA to act against the National Guard. What does that mean exactly? Her statements were all inflammatory and offered no reassurance about this case at all.

The Outlaws

 

Yanukovych Model

Trump is following the communist playbook.

This is what Viktor Yanukovych did in Ukraine. He allowed the oligarchs militias to control the people and then dismantled the military.

It creates vulnerabilities.

Old style Russian corruption

(Click here)

The Zelenskyy investigation agencies were set up after he was elected President. The corruption investigation has been ongoing for 15 months. It includes cash and plenty of it being transported out of Ukraine. Russia is involved in receiving the cash. This is nothing new. Ukraine has been fighting corruption since Yanukovych left. 

This is an ongoing process in Ukraine. It is unfortunate. Putin will propagandize this to discredit Zelenskyy. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cash went to Putin himself.

More Lawlessness by Trump

There is a judges order protecting DACA and they are being deported. To where? 

(Click here)

What?

How much did Hernandez pay Trump for his pardon? This negates any war on drugs. Hernandez was paid to protect drug shipments and Trump says he was treated unfairly? What happened to all the Americans that die every day because of Venezuelan shipments? Because it was Hernandez protecting the shipments the conviction is unfair? I am certain Hernandez has plenty of drug profits to pay well for his pardon.

Out of the question.

We are the USA military and not soldiers of fortune. Lithuania is a NATO partner and Article 5 has already been invoked. This price gouging for USA presence is exploitation. On one hand Trump is courting Putin to increase Russia’s push into Ukraine thinking Trump is in his back pocket, and then when NATO borders are being impinged by Russia, Trump decides to charge for USA services. Absolutely not in any capacity.

The USA takes care of its own. There is no invoice for their service when allies are in need. That is outrageous. There is a reason why a percentage of GDP is required in the alliance. I don’t care if Lithuania is up to date on their percentage GDP or not; Lithuania is not to be held hostage when the alliance is in need.

Post 9/11 there was a program for refugees.

The USA has been appreciative of those that helped the military during war. It is wrong to have a knee jerk reaction to violence Trump has inspired.

Trump’s folly

Every time something goes wrong in the country involving immigrants Trump will blame the law and seek more authority to justify his abhorrence of the USA Constitution.

He will not abide by the law and remove the National Guard as ordered. He will seek to inflame the circumstances and continue to attack the law and judges. 

He will never reassess.

He has no reason to blame the law as he ordered new legislation defeated last year so he can play god.

USA Immigration Policy

The law of the land is the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

It is the very sound basis of USA immigration. It has been amended over the decades but it was enacted in 1952. So while amendments are always interesting the MISSION of the LAW is to FACILITATE immigration INCLUDING bringing families together, and enforcement of immigration law.

While the six pansies of the Supreme Court seem to think deportations “at will” is constitutional that is incorrect through stare decisis. 

The USA immigration law has existed more than 70 years. It takes an act of Congress to completely change the law. Banning Third World countries is more lawlessness intended to impress those scared after the assassination attempts of two national guard members. It is a “hero worship syndrome” Trump is attempting to carry out. Father knows best and he has the power to make it happen.

Shooting people in the head is inflicting permanent injury leading to death. Assassinations. One has been successful and the other is clinging to life with hopes of consciousness and a return to his family. His life will never be the same and recovery is lengthy. Their lives were affected while on active duty.

Congress needs to resume a return to adopting a new immigration law, but, if they do not that means stare decisis still reigns including decades of law that encouraged immigration including uniting or reuniting families.

Immigration lawyers have long standing law to justify their practice. That is why Trump is attempting to intimidate them. The law is on their side.

Venezuela

Trump has created a war theater with Venezuela to refuse NATO. He can’t and at a time when it appears NATO needs us most he is pretending a peace plan will actually happen between Russia and Ukraine allowing him to justify his planned assault on Venezuela. 

Trump is an ex-patriot in a seat of power used to the detriment of the USA Constitution.

More lawlessness.

Russia is assaulting NATO borders. The last thing our ALLIES in Europe need is Trump behaving badly. But, he doesn’t care. He has a lawless agenda that involves attacking an ally. That is completely unconscionable.

The same dynamics exist with our neighbor to the north, Canada. We will never invade them.

These are two wonderful allies that love democracy as much as we do. Trump has been and continues to be the most horrendous president this country has ever experienced. He continues to build tensions domestically seeking control of the 2026 elections. 

The demolition of the East Wing of the White House is a declaration of permanence as Trump’s place of residence. He is moving Maralogo to the White House because he can’t afford the Florida estate when he leaves DC power brokerage. He has been assailing universities and companies to increase his wealth which is completely against the law. All those intimidation tactics will end when he leaves power. His plan is to make power brokering his domain from the White House forever. He is a sick man.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal

He needs a psychological evaluation. He could have been suffering from untreated PTSD. 

If he murdered out of pure will he will face at the very least life behind bars.

Two West Virginians were shot under Trump.

Now one has died. This is not about immigration or when the murderer entered the country or when he received a green card. This is about the lawlessness of the Trump administration and the element of fear instilled by the son of a bitch. Trump broke the domestic peace in this country and is pitting American against “the other.”  

January 6th insurrection began a campaign of hate by Trump to find what sticks to the wall. It started then and continued through today.

The National Guard troops were shot ON HIS WATCH.

End of discussion!

Snow leopard cub, a story of hope.

The Snow Leopard is an endangered species. This is a story about saving the life of a very injured cub. In the early days of recovery it is easy to see the pupils of his eyes are unequal. Besides his other injuries he had a cranial injury as well. In the last scenes his pupils are equal and he is mobile. The care team is magnificent.

Lawlessness

While the Supreme Court believes everything is politics, this is not. This is lawlessness. 

Maybe that wasn’t clear. This is lawlessness.

Lawlessness. 

Also known as anarchy. 

Lawlessness orders are illegal.

Lawlessness.

Anarchy.

Illegal orders. 

Pretty simple really. Lower court judges are getting it right.
