She describes the flooding of our country with fentanyl and expresses thanks that finally, someone has stepped forward (President Trump), to address the issue head-on and take decisive action to stop it.

She is saying this—Pete Hegseth you go right ahead and blast those criminals with their boatloads of drugs to smithereens. It is about freaking time someone stood up for American teenagers and protected them from criminals who make their fortunes on the lives of dead American kids. And these bleeding heart liberals who are clutching their pearls and fussing about the rights of the criminals while ignoring the dead American kids can go straight to Hades.

AI is who caught me up in its net at X and suspended my account for “breaking the rules” even though I never post on X and only use X to check the news. Now my “appeal” gets reviewed and ignored by AI.

Apparently, the lady is ignorant of the fact that fentanyl does not come here from or via Venezuela, and that Venezuela is way down the list of counties exporting illicit drugs to the US. No cocaine is grown in Venezuela and less than 15% of cocaine entering the US is trafficked by way of Venezuela.

I’m all for solving our drug problem, but going after little Venezuelan boats supplying islands off the shore of Venezuela that serve as hubs for export mainly to Europe sure would be a funny backwards way of going about it. Is Trump that stupid? Nah, this Venezuela Thing is obviously not about drugs. It’s all about regime change, but regime change is hard to sell to the American public these days.

It’s fine to like her. But she’s wrong about Venezuela exporting fentanyl to the US.

See my #10 on this thread.

OK Catherd, what is in the barrels on the drug runner boats that Hegseth is blowing up? Fish?

Apparently you have been spared the experience of losing a child or friend to street drugs cocaine etc…adulterated with fentanyl. The new combo killer.

And all servicing the financial empire run by mega cartels….the US intel community assessment being that Cartel of the Suns…is at the top of the food chain. An ex-cIA analyst estmated $2 Trillion worldwide from a web of drugs, sex and human trafficking, money laundering, weapons dealing…and fixing elections in up to 72 countries, globally, with proprietary code developed for insertion into electronic voting machines

Fentanyl may not be the primary thing on those boats. Likely cocaine and other things. So you may be right in that sense, CatHerd.

However, Venezuela is using their purloined oil facilities to drill for and produce oil, facilities and infrastructure stolen (nationalized) from US corporations that built them for Venezuel, taken with no recompense, and is using these facilities to finance biowarfare on the youth from drugs they send to this country via bootlegged oil sold to Communist China.

This is reason enough for me.

Cocaine, of course..

Most of the cocaine is grown in Columbia (none grown in Venezuela). Some transits Venezuela, and is then shipped on mainly to Europe via offshore islands. Some of the cocaine is then sent on to islands like Jamaica and onward to the US, some by land through Central America. According to the Trump’s own DEA report, less than 15% of cocaine comes to the US via Venezuela.

Fentanyl is mainly cooked up in Mexican towns near the border and enters by land. Some is smuggled through legal border crossings, some is simply passed through the gaps between the slats in The Big Beautiful Wall in lightly-patrolled areas — a very small packet contains enough fentanyl to kill every person in a mid-sized American city. It’s insanely potent stuff. Some is cooked up here using ingredients from China that arrives by mail(!), some comes over the border from Canada. But again, the great majority of the deadly stuff comes from Mexico. And it isn’t transported by the barrelful.

Back to the little boats. Most of the boats blown up were in the Pacific. Venezuela has no coastline on the Pacific. Those boats were launched from Columbia (or Ecuador or Mexico, depending on the location).

If my child or friend makes the CHOICE to abuse drugs, that's on me or on them. Without the demand there'd be no drug trafficking. That said, ALL drug dealers, traffickers and enablers from street/schoolyard to kingpin should be executed.

If you watch shows like OP Live, you will see that drugs are no longer a youth problem but an every age problem. It seems like most of the traffic stops end up with the people having drugs. And the folks are older as in middle aged or even older. It is very sad.
