'Advocating state terrorism': Stephen Miller shocks after 'troops on the ground' question

10/24/25 9:33 PM

President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff didn't discount the idea of sending American soldiers to fight on the ground in Venezuela. Speaking to the press on Friday, Stephen Miller was asked, "Would the administration consider putting troops on the ground in any capacity in Venezuela?"His answer wasn't "no," remarked influencer Joanne Carducci, whose X handle is @JoJoFromJerz. Instead, Miller said, "These are terrorists and they're gonna be killed.""My kingdom for ANY journalist to follow up on a @stephenm comment abt terrorism w/Q about: 1) The adjudged terrorists who attacked the Capitol who Trump freed on his first day on the job, 2) The terrorists that Changpeng Zhao, whom Trump ALSO pardoned, helped launder money," remarked national security expert Marcy Wheeler. "If @StephenM believes he can just kill terrorists will no due process, will he do that to Joe Biggs? Stewart Rhodes? Donald Trump did not PARDON either of them, leaving the terrorism judgment intact," she added."They are going to start war over oil and say it is to protect the USA from 'Narco Terrorists,'" commented lawyer Alvin R. Garcia.CNN reporter Kit Maher wrote on X, "Miller doesn't say whether the administration would consider putting US troops on ground in Venezuela in any capacity, but reiterates position on 'fighting terrorists in the Western hemisphere:' 'These are terrorists and they're going to be killed.'""What Miller is advocating is state terrorism. He should be behind bars," retired diplomat Frank Cogan said on X. Author Jennifer Erin Valent wrote, "You don’t have to be a pacifist or naive about the realities of evil in this world to believe that there is something wrong with people who flippantly speak about killing people. I will say again and again, this administration is sadistic."

'Fell for it again': Pete Hegseth ridiculed by both sides over 'God bless China' comment

11/02/25 2:24 PM

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was ridiculed over the weekend after a statement in which he announced closer cooperation with China and declared, "God bless both China and the USA!"Hegseth on Saturday took to social media to disclose the new stance toward a nation previously treated as an adversary by the administration."I just spoke to President Trump, and we agree — the relationship between the United States and China has never been better. Following President Trump’s historic meeting with Chairman Xi in South Korea, I had an equally positive meeting with my counterpart, China’s Minister of National Defense Admiral Dong Jun in Malaysia. And we spoke again last night. The Admiral and I agree that peace, stability, and good relations are the best path for our two great and strong countries," Hegseth wrote. "As President Trump said, his historic 'G2 meeting' set the tone for everlasting peace and success for the U.S. and China."Hegseth added, "The Department of War will do the same — peace through strength, mutual respect, and positive relations. Admiral Dong and I also agreed that we should set up military-to-military channels to deconflict and deescalate any problems that arise. We have more meetings on that coming soon. God bless both China and the USA!"That comment led to some outrage from critics and observers who support the administration.Conservative ex-GOP lawmaker Adam Kinzinger replied with this quote, “Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia," along with a meme of a man wearing a MAGA hat and the words "fell for it again.""God bless both China……. wtf???? Dude" he added.Trump-supporting I Love America News wrote "Meanwhile in China," along with the Chinese leader appearing to read "The Art of the Deal" by Trump. Several other accounts shared similar memes.Gary P. Nabhan, a user who frequently shares and supports comments made by Hegseth, asked him, "How will you deconflict when China invades Taiwan? Or have you already signaled China that you won’t oppose the invasion?"Michael D. Swaine of the Quincy Institute said, "Golly Gee, that's just great Petey. All problems and bad blood gone, poof. We are now bosom buddies, so all those past defense documents, presidential statements, Congressional bills, etc. that spoke of China seeking to overturn the global order, displace the US from Asia, suppress other countries etc., etc., were silly goofs. A couple of meetings and all is well. Boy is Trump a genius or what?! Why do we even need diplomacy or the military for that matter. (except to attack Americans and murder people Donnie doesn't like, of course). Who knew that international relations was so easy?!!"Podcaster Spencer Hakimian chimed in, "Hegseth TACO’ing on China. Wow."

'Fraud': Trump announces higher tariff rates on key ally over latest 'hostile act'

10/25/25 8:55 PM

Donald Trump on Saturday announced a new, higher tariff rate on Canada after the airing of an advertisement that used Ronald Reagan's words against the current president.The president has for days raged about the ad, which plays the words of Reagan talking about the dangers of imposing too many tariffs on other countries.Now, he is imposing real consequences."Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs," Trump claimed. "The Reagan Foundation said that they, 'created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,' and 'did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.' The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their 'rescue' on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States."Trump then added, "Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!).""Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD," he further claimed. "Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"Read the post here.

'Guns-a-blazing': Trump threatens new 'fast, vicious, and sweet' foreign military strike

11/01/25 9:16 PM

Donald Trump on Saturday threatened military action on foreign soil, escalating previous remarks about the nation.The president previously raised the possibility of sanctions against Nigeria for allegedly failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in what Trump now calls a "disgraced country." Nigerian officials have forcefully denied all the allegations.Trump went even further over the weekend, specifically threatening to use a military solution to what he considers to be a problem with persecution."If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities," Trump said on Truth Social Saturday. "I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!"See the full post here.

'Has anyone showed this to Trump?' MAGA ally tries to blow up president's big meeting

10/25/25 7:45 PM

As Donald Trump was meeting with leaders of Qatar aboard Air Force One, one of the president's key allies was trying to inject new information that would blow it up.Trump has consistently been seen trying to bring Qatar closer, especially as the nation served as an intermediary in the discussions between Israel and Hamas. Trump referred to Qatar as a "great ally," but MAGA influencers have criticized the arrangement.One of those concerned supporters is MAGA icon Laura Loomer, who is known to have the ear of the president and has even been called the Trump Whisperer.On Saturday, she took to social media in an attempt to disrupt the Qatar meeting.Responding to Trump saying "It’s such an honor to have you on the plane!" Loomer posted a New York Post article called, "Oh mama! Qatar bankrolled over a decade worth of films directed by Zohran Mamdani’s mom.""The Emir of Qatar is destroying our country from within by funding the Islamic takeover of America," Loomer wrote. "Mamdani and his family are tied to Qatar."Loomer further added, "Mamdani is incredibly anti-Trump and supports Islamic terrorism.""Has anyone showed this to President Trump?" she then asked.

'Hitman for Trump': Pete Hegseth blasted after 3 more 'extrajudicial killings' disclosed

11/02/25 1:03 PM

Another three people were killed in the Caribbean according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who announced Saturday another strike on a sea vessel as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to target supposed “narco-terrorists,” but critics are pushing back against Hegseth for being complicit in what many have labeled “extrajudicial killings.”“You are nothing but a 'hit man' for Trump,” wrote X user “Jennie M Reed,” who frequently shares content critical of the Trump administration. “Nothing more.”The Trump administration has accelerated its targeting of suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean in recent weeks, killing at least 64 people that it says were trafficking narcotics to the United States, but members of Congress – including some Republicans – say they haven’t been adequately briefed on the strikes, with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in particular having condemned them as being illegal state-sanctioned executions that deny those executed due process.“Trump, Hegseth, and senior military commanders murdered 3 more people last night and the homicides near 100 people, and they expect you to take their word for it that they were transporting drugs and accept it,” wrote Ron Filipkowski, a former federal prosecutor, in a social media post on X Sunday. “They murder whoever they want whenever they want.”The strikes have been accompanied by the Trump administration’s military escalations with Venezuela, which have included the deployment of an aircraft carrier strike group to just off of Venezuela’s shores. President Donald Trump has rationalized the targeting of Venezuela by arguing that the nation is responsible for trafficking a significant amount of narcotics into the United States – particularly fentanyl – though findings from U.S. intelligence agencies refute this. U.S. intelligence has assessed that “little to none” of the fentanyl trafficked to the United States is being produced in Venezuela, and that many of the sea vessels struck by the Trump administration did not even have the capacity to even reach American shores.“Another day, another extrajudicial killing by a wannabe dictator and his drunk secretary of war,” wrote X user “Endri Bejte,” who’s frequently posted content critical of Trump, referencing past allegations against Hegseth for having frequently abused alcohol.Trump, Hegseth, and senior military commanders murdered 3 more people last night and the homicides near 100 people, and they expect you to take their word for it that they were transporting drugs and accept it. They murder whoever they want whenever they want. pic.twitter.com/8exWESJlpp— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) November 2, 2025

'It's wrong': GOP senator torches Trump's new moves as being 'akin to what Iran does'

10/26/25 2:59 PM

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted the Trump administration Sunday for its ongoing military strikes on suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean, labeling them as “extrajudicial killings” that he argued were similar to how the Iranian or Chinese governments operate.“The drug or the crime war has typically been something we do through law enforcement, and so far they have alleged that these people are drug dealers,” Paul said, appearing on Fox News Sunday. “No one's said their name, no one's said what evidence, no one's said whether they're armed, and we've had no evidence presented. So at this point, I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, to what Iran does with drug dealers, they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public, so it's wrong.”President Donald Trump has authorized at least ten strikes on suspected drug-carrying sea vessels since September, killing at least 43 people that his administration has labeled as “narco-terrorists.” The strikes have received widespread bi-partisan condemnation for potentially being a violation of international law, with the most-recent strike occurring late Thursday night into Friday morning, killing six.Trump’s authority to authorize the strikes has also been questioned by critics, who point to Congress’ sole authority to approve declarations of war. Congress has not approved the strikes, and, according to Paul, have not even been briefed on the operations, or the evidence – should any exist – that those targeted were actually engaged in drug trafficking.“We haven't had a briefing; to be clear, we've gotten no information, I've been invited to no briefing, but a briefing is not enough to overcome the Constitution,” Paul said. “The Constitution says that when you go to war, Congress has to vote on it, and during a war, there's a lower rules for engagement, and people do sometimes get killed without due process.”Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong." pic.twitter.com/NPCIt9kzgT— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 26, 2025

'No way we're going back': Canadians are flying just about anywhere but the US

11/12/25 5:34 PM

Canadians are still boycotting travel to the United States and say there's "no way we're going back" while Donald Trump is in power. 10 months on from the start of Trump's second term and it seems Canadians are still being cautious about holidaying in the US. Both last-minute holidaymakers and planned breaks abroad see members of the public avoiding the States, as they instead head further afield for their trips. The number of Canadians returning from the US by car and plane in September dropped by a third compared to the same month last year, according to The Economic Times. Canadian holidaymakers have since shed some light on why they are avoiding the US, with some fearing ICE Agents and rising travel costs. Nathalie Morisseau says the US is currently "not attractive" as a place to holiday in, and she even considers it "scary." She added, "With my father being Haitian, there’s a certain fear around being able to go to the United States."Americans are trying to appeal to Canadians with little success. Governor Gavin Newsom launched the "California loves Canada" drive, but Senior VP of Visit California Ryan Becker says it hasn't worked. Figures show a drop of $700 million on the expected spend from Canadian visitors to California. Becker said, "That's a gut punch to the industry." Canadian services are suffering too as a result of the travel downturn. Will McAleer, executive director of the Travel Health Insurance Association of Canada, said, "Canadians are really choosing destinations other than the US to travel." The group found that just 10% of baby boomers have plans to head to the US this winter, a drop of two-thirds compared to last year. Not all Canadians are avoiding the US though, with younger residents heading to the States but not publicly profiling their trip as they once would have. Travel blogger Barry Choi explained this quieter change is because travelling to the US is still "cheaper" than holidays to other continents. Choi said, "Going to Orlando Disney is probably cheaper than going to Tokyo Disney." Weather could play a part in bringing Canadians down to the US, with Jill Wykes, editor of Snowbird Advisor, suggesting the first snowstorm of the year will be a major factor in changing Canadian travel plans. She said, "We haven't even had the first snowstorm yet. That normally makes people want to go."
