White House Finds Perfect Scapegoat for Second Drug Boat Strike The White House is ready to throw a top military commander under the bus in order to save Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Looks like Trump and Hegseth are searching for a scapegoat.

Are there any diverse members of the military left so they can blame it on β€œWoke”?

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Reporter: Why won't the administration confirm or deny whether or not there were a survivors after that initial first strike? What imminent threat would survivors pose who were clinging presumably to the wreckage of that boat?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?
