Disappointed (to say the least) that Adm Bradley carried through on an illegal order &/or issued an illegal order. His *long* previously spotless career is shot to hell. This is what happens to all who cozy up to DT.

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

I hope next year everyone will avoid going to a National Park on his birthday and pay the regular fee to go en masse on MLK, Jr Day + Juneteenth.
National parks visitors will receive free admission on President Donald Trump’s birthday next year, but will have to pay a regular fee on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth, after the National Parks Service overhauled its free admission calendar.

Trump’s fixation on edifice and legacy monuments and awards has escalated (honorific building naming, peace awards, birthday holiday) because even if he’s not consciously aware, this is the narcissist’s grandiose manner of facing his own mortality. This will be the least odious reverberation.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.
