(Perhaps I should say whatever the Administration does that&nbsp;<strong><u>is not<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;objectionable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Across the Bow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In other discussion forums, I\u2019ve been waging a debate over the American actions on the \u201chigh seas\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are sending both drones and USAF Fighters to destroy boats in international waters.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administration claims those boats are transporting illegal drugs, mostly Fentanyl.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since Trump has declared a war (a Presidential action not sanctioned by Congress) on both drugs and on international gangs like Tren de Aragua, he claims that those boats are \u201cfair game\u201d for destruction.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dozens on those boats have already been killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Coast Guard has \u201cinterdicted\u201d drug boats for centuries.&nbsp;&nbsp;Before it was drugs, it was illegal alcohol in the \u201crum runner\u201d days of&nbsp;&nbsp;Prohibition.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact,&nbsp;&nbsp;the Coast Guard was established in the 1790\u2019s to collect taxes from incoming commercial shipping. Interdiction means stop, search, seize and arrest.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s the ancient Naval action of \u201cfiring a shot across the bow\u201d, threatening destruction unless the boat allows the Coast Guard (or Navy) to board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a matter of humanity.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even drug dealers in the United States aren\u2019t subject to the death penalty.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There should be some form of \u201cdue process\u201d, of providing evidence of criminal activity.&nbsp;&nbsp;And the Coast Guard interdiction is that same process, this time under \u201cInternational Law\u201d on the high seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But just blowing up a boat; without any \u201cshot across the bow\u201d, without direct knowledge of their actions and cargo, is barbaric.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s not the action of a civilized nation, in fact, it the kind of rogue behavior we\u2019d attribute to terrorists of the past.&nbsp;&nbsp;Add to that; the Trump Administration then proudly shows video of these executions on television for Americans to be \u201cproud of\u201d.  It&#8217;s just another part of the tsunami of actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kerfuffle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Schmidt is a former Republican campaign operative, including as senior advisor to John McCain.&nbsp;&nbsp;After the rise of Donald Trump he led the Republican opposition, then left the Party to help found the \u201cLincoln Project\u201d opposing Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since that time he set up another political opposition group, called the \u201cSave America Movement\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the moment, Save America is trying to be a gadfly to Trump\u2019s advisors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Save America plastered Washington, DC with posters of Trump Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller, with the phrase, \u201cFascism Isn\u2019t Pretty\u201d across the bottom.&nbsp;&nbsp;It worked. Miller \u201cordered\u201d the posters removed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now Save America has come back with posters that are glued to poles and locations in DC, requiring them to be scraped off, instead of just pulled.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s all \u201clight hearted\u201d, but of course it\u2019s not.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, at least this time, it\u2019s keeping the Trump folks dealing with \u201cnonsense\u201d, instead of the rest of the Nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EPSTEIN FILES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And, like a riptide off the beach, the EPSTEIN FILES still lurks below the waters.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is Speaker Johnson keeping the House closed because of the shutdown (not required)?&nbsp;&nbsp;Or is he just avoiding swearing in the newly elected Democratic Congressman from Arizona, to prevent a majority vote requiring the Department of Justice to release the full EPSTEIN FILES.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States is in crisis.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Government is shutdown.&nbsp;&nbsp;Most Federal employees are furloughed, and most of the ones still working aren\u2019t getting paid.&nbsp;&nbsp;Air Traffic Controllers, the US Military, the FBI, all \u201cessential workers\u201d, are missing paychecks.&nbsp;&nbsp;And what is the President of the United States doing?&nbsp;&nbsp;He\u2019s leaving town, going to Asia for a week, allowing the shutdown to fester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly that\u2019s not in the Nation\u2019s best interest.&nbsp;&nbsp;But maybe it\u2019s in the best interest of Donald Trump, when it comes to the EPSTEIN FILES.&nbsp;&nbsp;How much is Trump involved, and how many of his friends are involved as well?&nbsp;&nbsp;We don\u2019t know.&nbsp;&nbsp;But one concern is that American actions in the world, from Venezuela to the East Wing of the White House, might be to cover his involvement.&nbsp;&nbsp;And for those who say Trump wasn\u2019t involved \u2013 the answer is simple.&nbsp;&nbsp;Release the EPSTEIN FILES and prove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>PS &#8211; this just in:  Steve Bannon says Trump is running in 2028 &#8211; the Constitution be damned!!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Week\u2019s List Firehose One thing for sure \u2013 Donald Trump leads by \u201cvolume\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;There\u2019s an overflow of information and events, so much that\u2019s a difficult to \u201ckeep up\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The public impact of the&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cNo Kings March\u201d just six days ago, with more than seven million Americans protesting this President, is drowned in the flurry of events since.&nbsp;&nbsp; &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2025\/10\/24\/the-politics-of-exhaustion\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;The Politics of Exhaustion&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
