The Trump regime continues its bloody attacks on alleged drug smuggling boats off the coast of South America. Since the attacks began on September 1, the US Navy has killed at least 69 people on 18 vessels—10 in the Caribbean and 8 in the Pacific.
President Trump justifies the attacks by saying the United States is in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels and vowing to “destroy Venezuelan terrorists and trafficking networks.” Nevertheless the Trump regime has not provided any positive identification of those killed, nor evidence that the boats were carrying drugs. Neither have they sought congressional approval as constitutionally required.
This body count off South America compares to the killing of 18 merchant mariners by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since 2023. The Trump regime has killed almost four times as many civilians in two months as the Houthi terrorists killed in over two years.

An updated repost. There is a line from a Paul Simon song, “These are the days of miracle and wonder.” One might not think to apply that lyric to the events of 9/11, 24 years ago today. Yet for at least part of that strange and horrible day, the lyrics fit.
