It’s that time again where Democrats throw their full weight behind a cause of absolutely no benefit to Americans for the sole purpose of placing themselves at odds with the Trump administration. This time they’re not only going to the mat on behalf of foreigners, but suspected drug traffickers too!

For almost a week Democrats and their content creator friends in the dying news media have been pressing the White House and the Department of War to lay out the second-by-second, word-for-word timeline of a military strike from months ago, in which a Venezuelan motorboat and crew suspected of transporting narcotics to the United States were targeted. 

Based on anonymously sourced reports, congressional Democrats are accusing War Secretary Pete Hegseth and the admiral who oversaw the attack of potentially committing a “war crime” by hitting the target in a follow-up strike that killed two survivors from the initial hit.

If this sounds exceedingly trivial, that’s because it is. To spin this into a scandal, Democrats are simultaneously suggesting the administration might have attacked innocent fishermen; or might have violated rules of engagement by striking survivors who were effectively surrendering; or might have violated the law by conducting the strike at all because the U.S. is not in armed conflict with Venezuela.

All of those positions are laughable and not just because Democrats for the previous four years have exhibited nothing but bloodlust for international violence, regardless of whether America was a formal party to the conflict. But thinking through each scenario invariably leads to an absurd conclusion.

First, it’s not unheard of for our frequently incompetent government to kill the wrong person. It happens. But the chance that our military is unable to tell the difference between some country fishermen and designated narco-terrorists crossing the ocean with cargo is pretty remote. Venezuela is effectively a failed state, and the drug trade and other illicit activities account for around a fifth of its entire economy.

LET'S ARREST HERE THIS BULLSHIT FROM THE FEDERALIST. THERE ARE VERY CLEAR LAWS THAT PREVENT PIRATING WHATEVER THE PRETEXT. THE LITTLE BOATS ARE NOT ATTACKING THE MASSIVE US FLEET, NOR ARE THEY CARRYING DRUGS TO THE USA EITHER..

Report: Hegseth Ousted Head of US Southern Command Who Raised Concerns About Boat Strikes

by Dave DeCamp | December 4, 2025 at 6:30 pm ET

Adm. Alvin Holsey, the commander of US Southern Command who abruptly announced he was stepping down in October, was pushed out by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday..

The report said that Hegseth and Holsey were at odds during the first months of the Trump administration, and the tension intensified when Holsey expressed concerns about the “murky legal authority” for the bombing campaign against alleged drug boats in Latin America, which is clearly illegal under US and international law.
