Dems wanted the world shut down if it even meant saving 1 life from a virus. They want guns taken away from citizens, if it will save even 1 life.

But they are really upset that we have stopped the steady stream of drugs in our country. Who cares if it will save thousands of lives, right?

Dems are picking some interesting fights. The next election is going to be pretty clear. Do you support open borders and criminals, or do you support the American people and safety?
I have no problem with stopping drug trafficking. If Hegseth wasn’t an incompetent tool, this wouldn't even be a topic anyone was talking about.

So now it's not that they bombed the boat and killed the people, it's just that Hegseth is in charge? And this is an opportunity to go after him?

Maybe we should focus on the fact that overdose deaths are plummeting. Been nice seeing all the huge drug busts here, and the shutdown of the flow through the border.

Nah, let's go after the people that are working to shut down the flow of drugs into our country.

Trump approval rating started high at 56% in January 2025 but has declined to 43% amid economic challenges, a government shutdown, immigration controversies, and scandals like the Epstein files. The -19 net index matches Biden's end-of-term negativity, driven by a 19-point gap in strong opinions. This is Trump's second-term low, though still higher than Biden's absolute approval.

OT-Movie Theaters. Netflix is buying the movie studios and streaming assets (HBO, Discovery) of Time Warner for a mere $72 billion. The immediate concern is that this will cut into the already troubled outlook for movie theaters across the country and beyond.

I think the lesson learned is that technology is changing everything from retail stores to movie theaters. I don't particularly like it but it is happening and accelerating. If we just would elect Democrats all would be well...

ps. I remember when Netflix was considered on the ropes with declining viewership. Maybe ten years ago? Apparently they now have an extra $72 billion.

Yes. I think it’s pretty obvious all the political theatre around this “double-tap” topic is fake outrage and 100% to target Hegseth.

It is a nice distraction. No need for the media to cover all the heinous crimes committed by illegals brought in and supported by the Biden admin. Just in the last couple weeks, national guards shot and killed in DC, man arrested who was planning an attack in Delaware, and multiple police officers shot in Omaha. Who cares about the horrible things happening here, let's talk about the drug traffickers getting blown up in the ocean.
