"At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua..."

"... one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.... This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Writes Trump, at Truth Social.

Here's the background material that formed the center of Trump's post (where I have an ellipsis above): "Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity. During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls. With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones. Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive."

We’re a hair breath away from bread and circus’s.

I woke up with hair breath this morning.

I would rather hope he doesn't think he is finished with Tren de Aragua.

This is a happy day. There better be more. What about their allies in the Biden administration and the open borders democrats/republicans that committed treason with TdA?

Emigration reform.

"Hair breath" ... "hair breadth". Whatever.

Good.

In the sanctuary county next to mine, they assassinated a young cop. But I guess some of you human scum like this sort of thing.

Dave Begley said...

We should have been doing these hits decades ago.

Between Cuba and Venezuela, several thousand political prisoners have been released. I haven't seen or read any human interest stories about tearful reunions with their families or whatever. A Pulitzer, however, will go to that reporter who can track down the family of someone killed in one of those drug boat sinkings and document their sufferings.

Remember the video of this same gang taking over an apartment building at gun point in Denver? City and state officials ignored the evidence let these immigrants run wild. Why? They gangsters provided a safe pathway for fellow Venezuelans (read: voters) to enter America.

Aye! Que lastima!

Yes, Tina. They would never dirty their hands. But they are very happy that there is someone to do it for them.

James K said...

Good news, but we've learned from dealing with jihadists that playing whack-a-mole doesn't finish the job. A broader extermination is necessary.

Say what you will, Orwell would have to give Trump high marks for his clarity of language.

In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.

It sounds like a movie. In the movie, the son of Guerrero would declare war on America and wreak vengeance. It would be up to [insert star's name here] to go to Venezuela and finally put an end to the gang.

narciso said...

In present danger they miss the cartel leader, much like we did in kandahar a few later with bin laden

This Strong Strong Conservative D who votes R always LOVES this type of stuff from DJT.
"We will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong." - that gave me a political hard on.

You’ve got to kill at least the top 5 layers.

Unfortunately Chuck Norris is no longer available for the roll.

No World Cup for you, Nino!
