The Trump administration is dealing with the problem of drugs coming into America by stopping the shipments close to the source. Essentially that means blowing up the drug boats as they head this way. Recently there was a controversy about a second shot fired at a drug boat as the survivors tried to radio for help to save their cargo. They were stopped mid-transmission (as well they should have been). I don’t mean to sound harsh, but I don’t think a slap on the wrist in the American court system would have any impact–blowing up the boats and the crews has impact. There are, however, some people in our government who see this very differently. Their use of language gymnastics is close to laughable.

On Monday, Townhall reported:

Operation Southern Spear is taking out narco-terrorists in the Caribbean. Democrats have a problem with this, though not any of the terrorists Barack Obama wiped out through drone strikes—500 total during his presidency, and yes, civilians were killed. Americans were on these kill lists. Yet, Democrats and the media are trying to frame this campaign as some illegal war seen out of Tom Clancy’s Clear and Present Danger. It’s not, and these aren’t sailors on a day trip, guys. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) tossed out a new phrase for these narco-terrorists: “shipwrecked survivors.”

This campaign has hilariously been dubbed “boatgate” by the Left, since we blew up a narco boat twice. The first strike killed some terrorists and disabled the craft, while the second wiped out the remaining terrorists. They were trying to signal for assistance. Either way, the strikes will continue as they did last week. Even with ‘boatgate’ becoming a national story, the Pentagon blew up another narco boat. However, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth admitted that fewer narco boats are taking to sea since we’re turning them into ashtrays.

How many people who have lost loved ones due to the drugs being brought into America by these boats are willing to let the boats continue their routes unhindered?
