President Trump is exercising a level of executive authority we haven't seen before.

I spoke with @ms.now on Saturday night to discuss the military actions in Iran.

I don't think Trump knows what asymmetrical warfare is. He is about to find out.

Doesn't the Venezuela model have Trump as head of the country?

It would be interesting to find out when Putin gave his blessing to Trump attacking Iran. No way Trump didn't check with his minder before giving the go-ahead

Add this to one of the things he never wrote. Not enough misspelled words. Somewhere is an LLM AI designed to see spit this shit out.

before we found anything else. We got in line and by the time we were in place to order, they were already out of some foods. I expect tomorrow will get better. People are out, but traffic has not returned to normal. Fingers crossed. Here is a narrative sent to me by a friend who knows a friend:

hotel and fortunately, she still had a room. We went out looking for something to eat. We came across a taco stand that was open and I told our group that this is what we were going to eat. There was already a line and I was concerned that if we passed this up, we could be looking for a long time

cancellations, we were able to book a couple of more nights. A woman that we met got notice that a flight on Air Alaska was still on, so she went to the airport. Of course, no flight, no food, no staff and she estimated a thousand people at the small airport with no place to go. She came back to

and people bought what they could get their hands on. The hotel staff cooked beans and rice for us. Some people moved to other hotels, we are staying put. We can't get to our final destination because the car rental is closed and roads are still closed. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. Because of

little traffic and few people on the streets. As the morning progressed, more people came out, but the traffic remained unusually light. The people coming out were looking for food, coffee and signs of normalcy. Most stores, of every kind were closed. When a bakery opened, a line quickly formed

scrap of information that would provide some hint of what was to come. When we went to bed, we fully expected to be woken up in the middle of the night by more chaos. Thankfully, nothing happened and we got a slept without interruption. The morning was calm and quiet. Around 7:00 a.m., there was

Puerto Vallarta is recovering. Yesterday, it was kind of like a seizure. Violent, unexpected and paralyzing. No really knew what was happening and how long it would last. The unthinkable quickly turned into the unknowable. All day, people were scrolling, calling and trading rumors for any

It does if the person making the statement is a fake Democrat

And now I hear a helicopter

Maybe shit starts blowing up. Everyone is on edge. There is a taxi driver who has been here all day. Can't get to his taxi. We have a go bag ready. It is exhausting. I don't think we are targets, but have to deal with blow back. I don't pray, but I do hope, and I hope for a quiet night.

Right now, Puerto Vallarta is quiet. Virtually no traffic. Only a handful of people on the street. The hotel is not letting people out. I talked to one Canadian who came in who reported one bar open that had a lively crowd. Maybe things calm down tomorrow and we can resume our trip.

I am in Puerto Vallarta where we are in lockdown at our hotel because of cartel violence and mayhem. 💥🔥💥 Seeing that old picture brought me feelings of peacefulness that have eluded me all day. Thanks

We are planning to pack go bags in case shit gets real tonight. Our room is on first floor and we hear there is an alternate way out should we need it. This is a very surreal situation. It is kind of like a horror movie. Waiting for the night.

My wife and two friends are stuck here. Here comes the night.

The sky that had been clear was half covered in smoke. A new fire had broken out. Maybe only a temporary calm before a new storm tonight

The hotel staff served guests rice and beans on the 4th floor. When I got there, the view to the east was clear. Looked good, but a few minutes later, a military helicopter started circling, and it was persistent and close. I had just received my portion and went out to look.

A few people ventured out this afternoon. The reports were grim. One person just said apocalyptic. Everything closed. Few people on streets. Burned out cars. Burned out convenience stores. Some looting of convenience stores. A roving band of young men. Nothing good.

Fire near or at Costco

They moved everyone on the patio to the sides to get people out of direct line of sight of entrance, which is a wrought iron gate. I think they are concerned about Molotov cocktails, which I have heard were used on OXXOs

I am surprised how calm everyone is. A lot of the tourists are on the patio, like me. Some reading books others, like me, searching for news. No panic, except those whose flights have been cancelled. The airport is shut down for now

Report of OXXO fire spreading to adjacent condo and hotel. Thankfully no OXXO near us. There are pharmacies nearby and they have been targets

Ok, have now heard that two OXXO stores near the hotel are burning. We can smell acrid smoke at times. Almost no one is moving. I say almost no one because some people are stupid

Not OXXO bombed near us. Reported that it was an art gallery. That explosion we heard
