Mary Bruce of ABC News Asks At 2:44 Below:

White House says recent questions related to the Epstein files are part of a manufactured hoax, fake news, an attempt to score political points, a distraction campaign coming from the democrat/liberal media, etc.

A White House meeting with Representative Boebert to ask her to vote to keep the Epstein files suppressed/sealed/ covered up, etc. shows transparency.

Swagger Is Gone – Tough Talk Before The Epstein Files Flip Flop

Below:

Pam Bondi and Kash Patel speak with confidence back before the flip flop on the Epstein files release.

All is well.

High levels of confidence in this businesslike event. Unfortunately, questions from the press were not picked up in the audio below.

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.”

Homeland Security Is Ineffective In The Drug War

More than six months back, Kristi Noem deployed her ass kicking drug war road show.

March 20, 2025

Public Affairs efforts commence – the word goes out.

Cartels have been placed on notice.

Secretary of Homeland Security delivers no nonsense statements in the March 20, 2025 video posted below.

Kristi Noem’s giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security appears to be completely irrelevant here:

Ford Carrier Strike Group arrives in Latin America

The aircraft carrier and three destroyers join several other ships and a Marine expeditionary unit deployed to the region.

“The Trump administration says that it is in an “armed conflict” with drug trafficking cartels it has designated foreign terrorist organizations.”

From comments:

“First time a carrier has been used to deflect news about
the Epstein Files.”

Drug Boat Body Count Now At 76

In the news:

KOMO News

Nov 10, 2025

Body count now at 76:

Since September, the U.S. military has conducted 19 strikes, destroying 20 boats and killing 76 people.”

“These vessels were known by our intelligence to be associated with illicit narcotics smuggling, were carrying narcotics, and were transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route in the Eastern Pacific.”

Still Waiting On Any Newsperson Anywhere

We are still waiting on any newsperson anywhere to ask:

Has any US community announced that local drug addicts are having any problem finding their cartel product of choice due to the Dept. of War Vietnam-style body count of 2025?

What US community will be first to announce that first responders are finding less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?

More questions:

Is Kristi Noem’s giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security completely irrelevant here?

Has the US Dept. of Homeland Security ever created any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?

Are the efforts of any federal agency or department causing local drug addicts to have any problem finding their cartel product of choice?

Is the Seattle fentanyl supply any different today than under Biden?

Have opioid lawsuits played any role in improving the situation?

How do cartels react to opioid lawsuits?

Any questions from newspeople?

Under Kristi Noem

Cartels move product into all 50 states.

DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:

“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”

Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.

Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:

The Northwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area chases after cartel product not stopped at the border by Kristi Noem.

Will Northwest HIDTA be shut down when cartel drugs stop entering the US? Have recent US Dept. of Homeland Security efforts reduced the need for Northwest HIDTA services?

Any questions from newspeople?

Possibly of interest:

The US federal government has been involved in decades of various events where records were sealed or redacted and files were kept secret.

As the years went by, the public found out they were lied to.
