[]The MDLEA is a U.S. domestic law that expanded the jurisdiction of the United States to conduct law enforcement operations against vessels suspected of drug trafficking on the high seas, especially those without nationality or whose flag nation consented to U.S. enforcement. The primary purpose of the Act was to address jurisdictional challenges in prosecuting drug smugglers in international waters.[]
[]The Act itself does not explicitly authorize the summary destruction of vessels. Recent military actions involving lethal force against suspected drug boats (in late 2025) have been highly controversial and have drawn criticism from legal experts and lawmakers, who argue that such strikes, absent an imminent threat to life or an active armed conflict, may constitute unlawful killings.[]
[]The justification for recent lethal strikes has been based on the assertion that certain drug cartels are "foreign terrorist organizations" and pose an immediate threat, allowing the use of force under the laws of armed conflict.[]
Lots of hemming and hawing here but what stands out to us is: These Drug Traffickers are Violent, Armed and in the act of evading arrest.
Trust that they were hailed prior to a Lethal Strike.

I missed this one 'til now. She's a far left wing DEI Swiss army knife! Good luck getting rid of her.

The cynical part of me had whip came to mind first, but I suppose it could be some kind of carrot.

Maybe she 'Galted' after she submitted it? Hmmm.

You think it is a whip, and not a carrot?

Popcorn, bacon, and the autopen! Yep they're all good ones this week! Thank you, OUC!

"Notice how many arrests Bondi made after DOGE discovered all that fraud, that just about all our tax dollars are stolen? No arrests. Zero." THAT is entirely frustrating, Abaco! So far all show and no substance.

I wonder what "they" have on that judge to get a ruling like that from afar?

Overwhelming evidence!

Better than poking the Bear is Poking the Donkey!

Even a Jackass Party sycophant can somehow get a law degree and put on a black linen robe.

And a touch of Wiley E in the morning! Thanks for a great collection OGC!

It takes a warped mind to come up with a bacon thong for anti-jihad. Love it. Keep 'em coming. The last one pretty much says it all.

Well said. However, we are beholden to these miscreants. That is different than noting that that are foolishly feeding their psychological parasites

Great read. In reading the part where nobody gets called on the carpet for all the lies….moral hazard. Notice how many arrests Bondi made after DOGE discovered all that fraud, that just about all our tax dollars are stolen? No arrests. Zero. I’m thinking about setting up an office in DC for sending money to Patagonia to study how to turn the sea run brown trout gay. Why not? It’s free money. A lot of it. If we’re not going to have consequences…

Pass the popcorn.
Another great bunch. Thanks!

"It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence."

Ayn Rand

Mrs Wiley Coyote said it well... Jihad proof lol

Never mind me silly dino bit. A long time ago in a savage land far, far away, an unknown portion of half my ancestors may have been Scandinavian tourists, who lived to die Valhalla dreaming with a sword in one hand while screaming, "Odin!"
As for the AUTOPEN meme, that sight is almost precisely how I always thought that Puppet-In-Chief obediently took his orders.
In other news, I yam an old half Swedish Alabama man would be most happy to have a cup of coffee with that lady in the very last meme. We'd be big time laughing it up!

Thanks for posting. Always good to hear that there are others out there that recognize reality is often very different than what we are being expected to believe.

Caution! Their experience may be different from our own.

I encourage Gulchers to read this. After all, isn't this how we became Gulchers?

Thank you for posting, UncommonSense!

Never heard of SOTT before. I'll have to check it out later.

Ah yessss, the 16th amendment. A one-liner that grew into thousands of pages of tax code that nobody can comprehend. Marx would be proud.

Well crafted article, LibertyPen! Thank you for posting it.

I'm thinking how proud treasury was in using tax evasion to bring down Al Capone, but come to think of it the IRS makes Al look like an amateur. Maybe it would be better to have a few Capone's slip through the cracks of justice than to create a tax system that enslaves the whole nation. Hmmm, also come to think of it, if there was no income tax Al wouldn't have broken any tax laws. Justice would have to get him some other way.

OGC - every time I think that you will not outdo your last posting, you pull something like this.
The ones pointing out where timmy gets his monies and we all know what he does with the monies - just wondering how much that Somali congresscritter got out of all of that - and the voter fraud has got to be off the wall as pointed out in #5.

And the panels on the drugs...I liked #7, that is the only way to get that done! That and taking oil tankers!

And the Qomments.... again an excellent collection.

Thanks again OGC!

Without any human contact, we can't have humans either.
