The claim:
At 5:00 in the video above, the FBI director clams that various federal agencies will “…get all the drugs off the streets…”
“Almost 45,00 pounds of pure, uncut cocaine were seized and 3,800 pounds of marijuana, Bondi said.”
Public Affairs Success Is Already Here:
March 20, 2025
Homeland Security Vision of Success
Promotional events crafted and controlled by public affairs professionals, staged with major drug hauls, patrol boats, helicopters, etc.
The big campaign features top level team leaders thanking each other.
Well done.
Announcing the number of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels sent towards the US/Mexico border demonstrates a sense of commitment.

President Trump may get a good handle on the drug problem in the months ahead.
Some newspeople may ask:
How do cocaine and marijuana rank for causing overdose deaths in places like Clallam County and Seattle?
The US Coast Guard has been involved with high seas drug seizures for decades. Has this effort ever created any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?
Port Angeles – 2023

Coast Guard cutter Active returns to Port Angeles
Crew back from 58-day patrol that included counternarcotics
“The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Active and crew returned to Port Angeles after the crew seized 130 kilograms of cocaine, aided in a search of a missing sailor and rescued three sea turtles during a 58-day counternarcotics patrol in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.”
Love to see newspeople ask:
Have long range drug patrols out of Port Angeles been able to keep cartel product out of local correctional facilities?
Correctional facility security screening protocols fail to keep meth use from happening inside the facility:

OLALLA WOMAN ARRESTED IN OVERDOSE DEATH OF CLALLAM COUNTY INMATE
“Lauren Smith was booked into the Clallam County Jail after being identified as the person who provided methamphetamine to an inmate at Clallam Bay Corrections Center, causing his overdose death.”
Port Angeles – 2024
With a significant Homeland Security/CBP/Border Patrol presence at Port Angeles:
“Clallam County has one of the highest per capita rates of drug overdoses in the state…”
Old Drug War
Has General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger reduced access to cartel product anywhere in the US?
When is the last time DOD/DHS was able to create any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Has there been enough time for newspeople to ask questions?
Newspeople remain silent.

WWII costume reminds us of a time before decades of undeclared/unwon wars stacked up.
The Department of Defense track record goes back to 1949.
Old War On Terror
In the old War on Terror, cartels were not designated as terrorist organizations.
Did the advantage of designating terrorist organizations in Iraq and Afghanistan allow those undeclared wars to be prevented, won or shut down?
In The New Drug War, Success May Take Time
Let’s give it six months. Let’s see if any newsperson or Homeland Security leader travels to the streets of Seattle or Port Angeles to speak with drug addicts and see if they have experienced any difficulty in finding their cartel product of choice.
Speak to first responders and find out if there is less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations.
Speak with transit bus drivers to find out if less people who are under the influence of cartel drugs are present around bus stops and attempting to ride on transit busses.
Visit emergency rooms to find out if drug overdose numbers have gone down. Find out and report to the public what sort of drugs people are overdosing on.
Visit the office of the medical examiner to find out where things are at with drug overdose numbers. Find out and report to the public what sort of drugs people are overdosing on.
Remember,
No matter what elected officials have decided to do Re: enabling drug use in WA, a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security has been on the job in recent years.
Any cartel product arriving on the streets of Whidbey Island, Seattle or Port Angeles made its way past the jurisdiction of federal agents at borders, border crossings and ports of entry prior to arriving in the Puget Sound area.
Are newspeople forbidden to ask questions related to Homeland Security funding and performance in the Puget Sound area?
