Top military lawyer raised legal concerns about boat strikes The lawyer at U.S. Southern Command, which oversees the operations against alleged drug-smuggling boats near Venezuela, disagreed that the strikes are legal and was overruled, according to six sources...

โ€œThe JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Oceanโ€ฆcould amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.โ€

FLASHBACK: โ€œYou spend all this time working with Saudi Arabia, you leave officeโ€”6 months later you get $2 BILLION.โ€

Trumpโ€™s son-in-law Kushner was asked about his corrupt SA deal, and to his annoyance, Khashoggiโ€™s death. Feels relevant.

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

Most Small Businesses Planning Price Hikes As Inflation Escalates, Report Finds Despite mounting pressure from tariffs and rising costs, small businesses remain โ€œcautiously optimistic,โ€ according to a Bank of America report.

Almost two-thirds of small and mid-size business owners say they plan to increase prices next year as nearly all wrangle with inflation hitting their operations, a Bank of America report finds, yet many owners still expect higher revenue and plan to expand in the year ahead.

Trump had a thousand FBI agents go over the Epstein files and remove any mentions of his name.

In other words, Trump has given Congress the opportunity to subpoena a thousand eyewitnesses to a crime.

That doesn't sound very smart to me.
