A fishy reek is emanating from the latest scandal about President Donald Trump’s military campaign against drug runners in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. U.S. forces have so far attacked more than a dozen fast boats on known drug routes, destroying them and their cargo and killing some 80 members of their crews.

One might assume the fishy thing is the lack of full video of the first attack on Sept 2 that triggered the latest controversy. One might jump to this conclusion because the Pentagon has proudly distributed other videos of successful operations in which boats are seen on grainy video in the crosshairs of missile guidance systems and are suddenly incinerated in a flash of sophisticated ordnance.

In the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election, President Donald Trump was doing nonstop rallies, many of them outdoors despite an assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, that left him bloodied after a bullet struck his ear.

The rallies felt more like festivals than political events, with crowds gathering hours early amid music and pageantry. Local heroes, union leaders, elected officials, and retired military officers cycled through as warm-up speakers, firing up the audience between tracks like Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond,” Village People’s “YMCA,” and Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” Trump’s walk-out anthem.
