Murder, Trump, Hegseth, and Admiral Mitch Bradley

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The first report revealed a conversation between Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and Admiral Mitch Bradley. After a missile struck a Venezuelan speed boat, two survivors were seen in the water. Hegseth’s response was: “kill them all.”

It was never confirmed that the boat was indeed transporting illegal drugs.

Here are the facts, and whether or not the boat was carrying drugs, the action was illegal and immoral. The action after the first missile severely damaged the boat was murder.

The individuals in the water were defenseless and offered no threat to the American vessel or anyone else. Hegseth simply added murder to his other crimes of being drunk and disorderly, assaulting women, and embezzling money from a military charity.

As for Admiral Bradley, he clearly violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice, UCMJ, by killing a defenseless adversary.

These ongoing acts are a choice by Trump unconfirmed by military intelligence. As of today, Hegseth continues to lie, placing the blame entirely on Admiral Bradley.

This is not in any way the act of an American president or his administration. The second missile strike was intended to kill the survivors. Admiral Bradley committed a war crime.

I will never call Trump “my president.” I am ashamed of every man and woman in Washington who allowed Trump to take the oath of office on January 2025. He is not an American president.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

We Have a Moron for a President

Trump says he will bomb Iran if they refuse to agree to his version of a nuclear arms treaty. A diplomat, he is not. His book, “the Art of the Deal” is another joke. The following quote defines your illegitimate president “Violence is the method of ignorance, the weapon of the weak. The strong of heart and brain need no violence, for they are irresistible in their consciousness of being right.” Alexander Berkman, The ABC of Anarchism Did you vote for Trump? At this point, less than three months since his illegal inauguration, no one will admit to casting their precious ballot for an old fascist with dementia. The worst is yet to come. Trump has threatened to use our military against Americans exercising their First Amendment right to protest. It would be an unlawful act of a wannabe Fuhrer, not a president. The reality is, our military cannot be forced to break the law, and if ordered to do so, it could rightfully turn against the person who gave that order. Someone, somewhere in the w...
