BREAKING: Donald Trump announces a horrifying new murderous strike on a boat in the Caribbean and releases the footage bragging about it — digging a deeper hole for himself with future investigations.
This monster really thought that he was going to win a Nobel Peace Prize...
"Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route," he continued. "The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!"
As with the previous strikes, Trump provided no evidence for his claims that the victims were narcotraffickers. For all we know, they could have been innocent migrants or — as has been suggested by reports about previous strikes — they could have been fishermen simply trying to ...

They were most likely just fishermen trying to support their families
Sickening!
Some of the previous video I've seen of similar-sized vessels traveling about 30 knots in open ocean may have been more likely to be narco-traffic. BUT !
Even so, blasting them out of the water is still piracy, an act of War.
The 3 images in the #1,602 meme do not suggest a vessel traveling at that speed. This is a horror !
If this is at all as it appears to be, the President of the United States of America is overdue for a change of address, from Mar a Lago to San Quentin prison.

Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n—ga” and “n—guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”
“Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic,” Joe Maligno, who previously identified himself as the general counsel for the New York State Young Republicans, wrote back.
“I’m ready to watch people burn now,” Annie Kaykaty, New York’s national committee member, said.
The exchange is part of a trove of Telegram chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than seven months of messages among Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont. The chat offers an unfiltered look at how a new generation of GOP activists talk when they think no one is listening.
The 2,900 pages of chats, shared among a dozen millennial and Gen Z Republicans between early January and mid-August, chronicle their campaign to seize control of the national Young Republican organization on a hardline pro-Donald Trump platform. Many of the chat members already work inside government or party politics, and one serves as a state senator.
Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely…

Vile text messages sent by Young Republican leaders have been leaked, exposing how rampant racism, antisemitism, misogyny and violent discourse were allegedly the norm in the chat group.
Members of the Telegram chat group titled “RESTOREYR WAR ROOM” reportedly said that rape was “epic,” referred to Black people as “monkeys,” praised Adolf Hitler, and suggested that their political opponents should be sent to the gas chambers in leaked messages obtained by Politico.
The Young Republican leaders in the chat were from the New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont chapters of the national movement, according to the outlet.
The 2,900 pages of text messages sent between early January and mid-August this year laid bare how those who represent the future of the GOP talked behind closed doors as they plotted for control of the national Young Republican organization, Politico reported, on a hard-right pro-Donald Trump platform.
Former president of the New York State Young Republicans, Peter Giunta, a staunch supporter of Trump, created the group and was one of the most prolific members, according to Politico.

Members of Congress growing concerned over lack of information from administration about Venezuela strikes, sources say
Republicans and Democrats say the administration is failing to share basic information with Congress about the intelligence, rationale and goals of its war on drug trafficking.Oct. 15, 2025, 4:00 AM GMT-5
By Dan De Luce, Gordon Lubold and Courtney Kube
WASHINGTON — Members of Congress are growing concerned over a lack of information from the Trump administration about the intelligence and strategy underlying its strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean, six sources told NBC News.
Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill have left briefings about the strikes frustrated with the lack of information, said these people: five congressional sources and an additional source with knowledge of the matter. Some have asked for unedited video of the strikes, reflecting the kind of basic information they seek, but the administration has so far refused to provide it.
At a briefing a few weeks ago, Republican lawmakers were clearly upset with the answers they received, one of the congressional sources said.
“The Republicans were mad that the briefers were unable to answer questions about the legal basis for the operations,” the source said.

BREAKING: Jack Smith just TORCHED Trump’s Justice Department — and revealed he had “TONS of evidence” that Trump knew he was breaking the law.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith — the man who took on Donald Trump and refused to back down — just broke his silence, and his words are scathing. In a rare, unfiltered interview with former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, Smith exposed the Trump Justice Department for what it’s become: a corrupt political machine hellbent on protecting Trump and punishing his enemies.
Smith made it crystal clear — his prosecutions of Trump were never political. “The idea that politics would play a role in big cases like this is absolutely ludicrous,” he said. But now?
Trump’s DOJ has turned the rule of law into a loyalty test — and America’s justice system is collapsing under ....

Friends,
You know Trump Republicans are worried when they slam a planned protest — more than a week before it occurs.
Last Friday, Speaker Mike Johnson described this coming Saturday’s No Kings rally as the “hate-America” rally that would draw “the pro-Hamas wing” and “the antifa people.”
I’m sure these phrases have been distributed to senior Republicans by the White House. They’re all delivering the same lines.
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) claims Democrats are refusing to vote to fund the government “to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold ... a hate-America rally” on Saturday.
So what is the White House worried about? Why are they trying to discredit the rally before it’s even occurred?
Because it’s likely to be even larger than the first No Kings rally — which was the largest demonstration against Trump since his return to the Oval Office.
And it will happen all over America, so it’s likely to generate a huge number of news clips on local television.
Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that most Americans (apart from those he and his lapdogs label “pro-Hamas,” “terrorists,” and “antifa”) adore him.
But that illusion is harder to maintain if a significant part of the population of every town and city is .....
