"If you're keeping track at home, that's the fourth cartel boat out of Venezuela that the United States has blown up this month. Both the president and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have suggested that it won't be the last and that the action is actually deterring cartels from taking to the Caribbean Sea to spread their poison to the rest of the Hemisphere and more specifically, our country. Meanwhile, officials in the Dominican Republic say they seized "377 packages of cocaine" from one of the boats destroyed last week.

"The words and actions of Venezuela's illegitimate president Nicolás Maduro prove that he's rattled, and he should be. He's on the brink of losing everything, and there is a $50 million reward out for him.
"Apparently, Democrats are equally rattled. Last week, Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) introduced a resolution that would stop these strikes on the drug boats, even though most Americans agree with the president's actions. The bill won't pass, and even if it did, Trump would veto it, but it does, as The Hill points out, force Republican senators to praise or condemn the actions on the record. Schiff and Kaine both spoke on the measure on Friday, and it sounds like they're both just sad that they're not involved." . . . More
