Trump Says US Military Destroyed Drug Boat from Venezuela: ‘A Lot of Drugs on That Boat’
Miami Herald
By Antonio María Delgado
Sept 2, 2025
“President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that U.S. forces had destroyed a boat carrying narcotics from Venezuela, framing the incident as part of a broader campaign against drug trafficking and foreign threats.”
Well done guys.
Please let us know:
In terms of fentanyl supply, is Seattle any different today than it was under Biden?
Please check with the Seattle public library:
Seattle libraries offer Narcan, fentanyl test strips to combat overdose epidemic

“Free nasal naloxone is available at all branch locations while supplies last. Fentanyl test strips are also available at the main downtown branch.”
“The library receives around 500 to 800 naloxone kits each month to distribute, depending on patron interest.”
“Naloxone is used to reverse an opioid overdose, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications. Naloxone is safe, works almost immediately, and is not addictive, according to medical professionals.”
“Fentanyl test strips can detect the presence of fentanyl in different kinds of drugs. They provide people who use drugs with information about fentanyl in the illegal drug supply so they can take steps to reduce the risk of overdose.”

Please Let Us Know When:
Puget Sound area first responders are finding any less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations.
Seattle area drug addicts are having any difficulty finding their cartel product of choice.
There is any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area.
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?
Did the advantage of designating cartels as terrorist organizations back on Feb 20, 2025 reduce the availability of fentanyl in the Puget Sound area?
Did the use of DOD ground units and US Navy assets lead to any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Old Drug War – Cartels Respond & Move More Product Into The US
Did General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger ever reduce 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.

“…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.

Trump Orders U.S. Military Action Against Terrorist Drug Cartels Flooding America With Fentanyl
All Homeland Security actions in the past several months result in Cartels Flooding America With Fentanyl? How could this be?
If a giant and expensive US Dept. of Homeland Security (since 2002) was ever meant to shut down cartels, why would DOD need to be involved?

Cartels designated as terrorists.
March 20, 2025 – Public Affairs Crackdown Is Launched
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.
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.
Another US Destroyer Deployed To Secure Southern Border
By Peter Aitken – Newsweek
Across The Nation
If you are on the Kristi Noem team, you are out kicking ass.
If you are part of a local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team, you are advertising the latest big drug bust after cartel product is able to move past the jurisdiction of federal agents at borders, border crossings and ports of entry, REAL ID checks and a barrier of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels prior to arriving in Hometown, USA.
If you are part of the DEA, you may hope for limited success coming from the Trump/Noem team because what would you do with yourself if cartel drugs could no longer enter the US? Please let us know when Seattle area drug addicts have any difficulty finding their cartel product of choice.
If you are part of a local health dept. you are handing out Naloxone as always, to deal with the stuff that doesn’t get reported in the big local drug bust.
If you are part of DOD you avoid barracks maintenance in order to pay for sending The Troops three states over to secure the border while failing to manage federal contracts related to TRICARE.
When all US efforts fail to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US:
Blame Mexico. Or, blame Canada.
A giant flag ritual at the next ball game will make it all good.

The Oak Bay Starfish take:
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.
People will say Biden turned his back on border security. Let’s go with that.
Those days are over now.
President Trump has given full support to a Homeland Security mission of keeping cartel product out of the US.
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002.
Love to see newspeople ask:
Has any US presidential administration since that time been able to use DHS to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?

2003 Iraq Mission Accomplished US Casualties
American casualties: 139 killed, 542 wounded
2015 update:
“Since the speech, 4,637 military members in the Iraq War coalition led by the U.S. have lost their lives, versus 172 prior, according to the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count.”
2016 update:
“As of June 29, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Defense casualty website, there were 4,424 total deaths (including both killed in action and non-hostile) and 31,952 wounded in action (WIA) as a result of the Iraq War.”
2018 update:
War in Afghanistan – Operation Enduring Freedom
2018 update:
“If You Forget About a War, It’s Time to End It”
“And a democracy that spends more time debating kneeling before the flag than the justification for issuing folded ones desperately needs to get reacquainted with the Constitution – and its moral compass.”
“Our loved ones didn’t sign up to serve a president. They signed up to serve the American people, most of whom have no idea what they’re fighting for.”
Whatever happened to the formal congressional declaration of war?
This would be the time to hear from elected leaders and top generals on all the issues that have doomed the Department of Defense track record for winning wars since DOD was established in 1949.
Any chance the midterm elections feature any talk of shutting down undeclared/unwon wars that never end?
Each November, school teachers across America host Veterans Day assemblies– and promote the idea to children that The Troops are in distant lands- fighting for American rights and freedoms- as if the US Armed Forces function as some sort of giant civil rights organization.
In Washington State, these assemblies are mandatory.
The VA tells teachers that The Troops are Defending Liberty and Freedom.
Love to see a student ask: If The Troops fight for your right to sit, stand, kneel, etc.- why were black people still riding at the back of the bus after the big WWII victory?
Love to see a student ask: If the wars aren’t won- how can they protect our freedom?
Love to see a student ask: When the US Armed Forces are sent to Lebanon, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Vietnam, etc.- how is that defending the US Constitution– or our rights and freedoms, or our physical security?
Love to see a student ask: Whatever happened to lessons about Armistice Day?
