US announces attack on Colombia rebel
group boat as Trump ends aid
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/20/2025 12:08:06 AM
WASHINGTON - The United States announced Sunday another strike against what it called a drug-running boat, this time attacking an alleged Colombian leftist rebel vessel in an apparent expansion of a US military operation off the coasts of South America. Word of the attack from Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth came as President Donald Trump said the United States is halting financial aid to Colombia and will announce tariffs against it on Monday. The United States has had warships deployed in the Caribbean off Venezuela since August and has attacked at least six boats it said were running drugs toward the United States, killing at least 27 people so far.

Railroad Freeway Overpass — Homicide
Suspected, Say Police 0 replies
HOUSTON, Texas — A Union Pacific railroad employee reported the discovery of a brush fire near a storage facility along an interstate highway in Houston. Firefighters responded and found the partially burned body of a man hanging by a rope from the overpass, police officials stated.
The grim discovery of a man found hanging and partially burned beneath a Houston freeway Thursday night has drawn chilling parallels to cartel-style executions long documented by Breitbart’s Cartel Chronicles Project in northern Mexico, where bodies are often displayed in public as a message. While Houston police have not confirmed any connection to organized crime, investigators say the circumstances strongly suggest homicide,
Playing Mind Games With Maduro

There's applying pressure, and then there's PRESSURE.
Donald Trump is an expert on both, and he is dumping tons of the latter on the tinpot tyrant of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.
The raging authoritarian in charge of the failed narcostate has been a key portrait in the Trump bullseye ever since the administration was sworn in. Even though Maduro was a priority during his first administration, Trump Part Deux has a new focus and determination to not only shut down the drug and human trafficking pouring out of the country, but to do everything in his power to rid the country of Maduro's evil influence entirely.

Biden Title IX Rule Expanding 'Sex' to
Gender Identity 10 replies
Tennessee's Attorney General, Jonathan Skrmetti, announced a significant legal win Thursday in a case involving a Biden-era redefinition of the word "sex" to include gender identity.
Tennessee and 14 other states brought suit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in May 2024, challenging the Biden administration's "Final Rule" which included an interpretation of the non-discrimination provision in § 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to include gender identity (and thus, to mandate the provision of "gender affirming care").
No Bigots Allowed!

Liberal Matthew Yglesias delivers a tough message to his fellow Democrats: our party is too pure! His theme is that, by rigorously excluding bigots, the Democrats have condemned themselves to minority status.
His lack of self-knowledge is remarkable. It never occurs to Yglesias that the Democratic Party is already teeming with bigotry–hatred of Jews, Christians, free enterprise and conservatives, among others, that is so intense that people are being shot by members of the “pure” party.
The Department of the Interior (DOI) announced Thursday that it is moving to open up oil and gas development across large swaths of resource-rich land in Alaska, with some Native communities celebrating the sharp departure from the Biden-era crackdown.
The DOI announced Thursday that it is reopening the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil and gas leasing and is seeking lease sale location opportunities on the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A), both expansive and energy-abundant tundras in the state. The Trump administration’s moves to unleash Alaska’s rich energy resources stands in stark contrast
President Trump said Thursday he would not deploy federal troops to San Francisco, reversing course on plans to implement anticrime and immigration enforcement in the Bay Area.
Trump in a post on Truth Social said friends of his called him to ask him not to go forward with the surge after arguing the city’s Democratic Mayor Daniel Lurie “was making substantial progress.”
The president said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff were among “great people” who urged him not to deploy the National Guard to the city.
He added that he spoke to Lurie on Wednesday evening

President Trump has pardoned Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the billionaire founder of cryptocurrency exchange Binance — concluding a months-long lobbying effort by the crypto mogul to erase his US felony conviction and reopen the door to his company’s return to the American market.
Trump signed the pardon Wednesday, as The Wall Street Journal first reported.
The president “exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post.

Suffering Under Shutdown Create Bargaining Leverage 13 replies
Rep. Katherine Clark (D-CT), the number two ranking House Democrat, is admitting that allowing families to suffer under the shutdown is all about leverage.
“Shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will be families that are going to suffer,” she told Fox News Thursday. “We take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the few leverage times we have.”
She added: “It is an inflection point in this budget process where we have tried to get the Republicans to meet with us and prioritize the American people.” So there you have it. Even though Republicans have made clear
The "No Kings" weekend of absurdity has ended, and many of us are still pointing and laughing at videos of aging Boomer hippies and Gen Z nitwits, both of which groups are shrieking incoherently about "tyranny" when in a real tyranny they would not be allowed to shriek incoherently about "tyranny." A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech.
You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all. But now the raging of the nitwits has some Democrat Senators worried about holding the line in the ongoing Schumer Shutdown - worried, not about Republicans,

Dems About the Schumer Shutdown and Trump's Numbers 10 replies
The Democrats have been trying to blame President Donald Trump and the Republicans for the government shutdown.
The Dems were hoping that the "No Kings" protests would provide them with some ballast for their fight against Trump. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was hoping that he would appease the radical leftist base so he could hold onto his seat.
The problem with that? The ridiculous "No Kings" exercise is now over, and we still have no kings. All this did was expose how the Democrats were focused on something that isn't real, versus the real issue of opening the government and doing something for the American people.
Like many Americans, I watched with interest as the “No Kings” spectacle unfolded. It was rather like a box of Monty Python's chocolates. I had no idea what I was going to get, but I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like it much. In this, at least, I was not disappointed.
So, what, exactly, did this crunchy frog of a “No Kings” thing accomplish? We haven’t had any kings since the day we declared our independence. And before I had my coffee made this morning, I was deeply concerned, so I checked. Turns out, we still don’t.
The Democrats (and their socialist and Communist allies) mounted “no kings” protests yesterday, just as they did in July. The July protests accomplished absolutely nothing, and yesterday’s will be no different. The New York Times kept up a brave front, headlining “‘No More Trump!’: Protesters Denouncing the President Unite Across the Country.” But in fact, the protests were mostly the occasion for epic trolling.
We could consider this a supplement to yesterday’s Week In Pictures:

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan lashed out online after Americans pushed back against his defense of the Islamic call to prayer being played in U.S. neighborhoods.
The Islamic call to prayer, or adhan, is broadcast five times daily and serves as a prominent auditory reminder of faith across Muslim communities. Hasan went on an extended rant on X, blasting what he called right-wing intolerance and claiming Muslim Americans face growing hostility from conservatives. “I think that if you can play church bells you can pray the [Islamic] call to prayer. We are as American as anyone else
Senate Democrats aren't satisfied yet with the amount of violence directed at ICE and CBP agents, so they are planning to create what they call a "Master ICE Tracker to warn illegal aliens about ICE activity, and give Antifa militants more information about where exactly to position themselves for ambushes.
Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 1000%, and the violence directed at them has escalated from throwing Subway sandwiches to taking potshots at them and ramming cars into agents. But, to Democrats, ICE is the modern Gestapo; it seems like this level of violence and resistance to law enforcement officers is not nearly enough.

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said members of the U.S. military may be exposed to “serious charges” for allegedly killing civilians during the strikes on alleged drug boats.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “Have you in a classified or unclassified setting, seen any evidence before, during or after the strikes to prove what they’re saying about the strikes that drugs are or were on board?”
Blumenthal said, “No evidence and no information. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I would expect that we’d be given some briefing about the facts here
Just in time for Halloween, former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot allegedly wants Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to take off their masks, causing her critics to wonder if it’s an attempt to to make them easier to dox.
Not content to live off of her legacy of skyrocketing murder and street crime in Chicago, the leftist pol is now part of a team that includes equally morally dubious attorneys who are forming a not-for-profit organization called the “ICE Accountability Project.” She told Chicago’s Fox 32 that the objective is to “unmask” ICE officers who are assigned to work on ICE’s Operation Midway Blitz.

New York's infamous crime families are making headlines again. As the Oct. 23 arrests and indictments allegedly show in stunning detail, the old-school Italian mafia – La Cosa Nostra with its loyalty oaths, nicknames and lucrative gambling rackets – haven't gone away. (Snip) Patel − and the charging documents − detailed how mafia members used high-tech tools, along with their old-fashioned racketeering schemes, to help orchestrate major aspects of the criminal operation. "Not only did we crack into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage of the NBA, but we also entered and executed a system of
New York Attorney General Letitia James, even as she already faces fraud charges and an ever-expanding scandal of criminal allegations, has launched a portal for Democrats to report and therefore dox ICE agents.
After an ICE raid where federal officers arrested nine illegal aliens with criminal records in New York City, James and other Democrats flipped their lids, screaming about alleged abuses. Following the example of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and his fellow House and California Democrats, James launched her own ICE reporting portal, which could potentially justify yet more charges against her for violating federal immigration law.
James proudly announced in a press release on Oct. 22 that she is
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas said Wednesday she is “strongly considering” running for the U.S. Senate, and she claimed her decision could serve as “karma” against Republicans.
Crockett made the comments during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Lurie Daniel Favors Show,” Axios reported.
Her remarks came as she railed against GOP-led redistricting in Texas while ignoring the fact that Democrats have long gerrymandered districts in their own states. And then the other option is every other day there’s a poll that comes out that makes it clear that I can win the primary for the U.S. Senate race in Texas,” Crockett said. “And I am looking.
New York Attorney General Letitia James was photographed Thursday exiting her Brooklyn brownstone for a federal arraignment on mortgage fraud charges in Virginia — where her “fugitive” grandniece will also be facing a possible restraining order for threatening to “punch” a school official earlier this month.
James, 67, will appear at the Walter E. Hoffman US Courthouse in Norfolk at 11 a.m. Friday, after being indicted by a federal grand jury on Oct. 9 for bank fraud and making false claims to a financial institution — in a case that former prosecutors have said will be difficult to defend.
Our nasty Democrats

Perhaps the most characteristic quality of our historical moment is the sheer nastiness of the Left. And by Left, I don’t mean the socialist extreme, I mean the entire Democratic Party. We see it all the time, literally every day.
This is one of thousands of instances: Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary, now a professional representative of the Democratic Party, insulted Usha Vance, wife of the vice president:
She asserted that Mrs. Vance, 39, mother of 3, was afraid of her overly “ambitious” husband, 41, who’s even worse than the 79-year-old Trump.
Vance is overly ambitious because Psaki thinks he wants to be president. Unlike, among many other vice presidents,
Two national public employee unions sued the Trump administration over its restrictions preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial drivers licenses. The American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees filed a petition for review against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The employee unions challenged a rule implemented by Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy restricting foreign individuals from receiving commercial drivers licenses. Commercial drivers licenses are used for operating large vehicles such as tractor-trailers and buses. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia allow unauthorized immigrants to receive commercial drivers licenses.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Thursday released documents revealing that Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI Director Chris Wray and corrupt DOJ official Lisa Monaco personally approved opening the “Arctic Frost” investigation into President Trump.
Arctic Frost led to Jack Smith’s Trump 2020 alternate electors case.
Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson earlier this year released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump.
Grassley and Johnson previously blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s
