The Trump administration just landed another hard hit on the deadly drug smuggling operations poisoning our hemisphere. U.S. forces struck three so-called “drug boats” in Latin American waters, taking out 11 suspects in one mission. Some liberal pundits might squirm over this news, but real Americans know decisive action is long overdue.
Let’s be honest—Democrat-led dithering and open border policies have only helped feed the drug cartels. Leftists talk tough about compassion, but they’re silent while fentanyl pours into American neighborhoods, killing thousands. Meanwhile, globalist elites sit comfortably in their gated homes and pretend there isn’t a crisis right offshore.

The Trump team isn’t fooled. That’s why they sent a clear message: American security comes first. Drug traffickers fueling the chaos and violence in our streets just discovered what real consequences look like. Only the Trump administration has the spine to do what the weak-kneed Obama types refused—hold criminals accountable, wherever they hide.
Of course, expect the usual suspects to whine about “human rights.” The woke crowd would rather clutch their pearls than protect American families. Maybe if these liberals spent less time idolizing criminals and more time backing our military, streets would be safer across the country and south of the border.
Actions like these prove that when America stands strong, bad actors run scared. The Trump administration delivers where empty suits just posture. Isn’t it about time Washington stopped caring what Europe thinks and remembered who they serve?
