The Justice Department has indicted a former Navy sailor and four others for allegedly leading an online extortion group that authorities say later helped spawn the global extremist network known as "764," which the FBI now describes as "modern day terrorism" for its sadistic and violent tormenting of teens online.

Raskin, in a letter to newly appointed CBS News ombudsperson Ken Weinstein that was shared exclusively with The Hill, blasted the network for what he said was the “improper influence President Donald Trump wielded over CBS News’s editorial decisions” in recent weeks, including during the interview that aired Nov. 2

Update: Reports suggest he was forced out after disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding the legality and execution of lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. If so thank you Adm. Alvin Holsey for obeying lawful orders . You are a hero... The head of U.S. Southern Command, which is overseeing the Trump administration’s ongoing military strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, will retire just over one year into his tenure. Adm. Alvin Holsey assumed command in November 2024. The commanders of combatant commands typically serve in the role for three years.

Pete Hegseth Sends Cryptic Message to Admiral on Drug Boat Strike
-
Both trump and Hedgehog no nothing about troop moral. The words that come out of Hedgehog's mouth are only meant to make himself feel good. And now there is the first Navy victim of this lawless regime: Adm. Frank M. Bradley, who should have known better. Now that there are legal repercussions, his superiors (trump and Hedgehog) say they did not specifically order him to make that decision. In my opinion they absolutely did... On Thursday, Adm. Bradley will head to Capitol Hill for closed-door sessions with lawmakers, as Republicans and Democrats express concerns about the Trump administration’s campaign. And in ordering a second strike that killed two survivors who were clinging to the burning wreckage of the boat — something his superiors say they did not specifically order him to do — Admiral Bradley now finds himself in potential legal jeopardy. In other words, he was thrown under the bus.

Clearly, Admiral Frank M. Bradley should have known better. One big lesson he has learned with politics is exactly how he got thrown under the bus. Hopefully he will share that with the public when he is put under oath with the pending House or Senate investigations, or both... Senator Kelly was right - Don't follow illegal orders (video.) It's against the law... The Defense Department's Law of War Manual uses shooting shipwrecked survivors as an example of an illegal order that service members are obligated to refuse. "For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal," the manual states. Don't Give Up the Ship... Chain of Command in Illegal Strike: President Trump Pete Hegseth Admiral Frank M. Bradley And please remember that congress never declared war or used the Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs) Seal Team 6 Yes, the Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war, but the United States has not issued a formal declaration of war since World War II. Instead, Congress has frequently authorized military force through less formal means, such as Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs), which has become the predominant method for permitting military action. Article here on portions of subject: White House defends Hegseth and second strike on boat near Venezuela A Navy admiral and not Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed a September strike on a suspected drug boat near Venezuela where the military was reportedly ordered to kill survivors, the White House said Monday.

Senator Kelly was right to make that video. Admiral Frank Bradley is being blame by the trump administration, and Hedgehog is being absolved... “Does the administration deny that that second strike happened,” a reporter asked, “or did it happen and the administration denies that Secretary Hegseth gave the order?” Admiral Frank M. Bradley

White House Press Secretary Karolying Leavitt has released the MRI results. US President Donald Trump had cardiovascular and abdominal checks when he had an MRI scan, the White House has confirmed. Press secretary Karolying Leavitt said the scan was "preventative" amid growing concerns for trump's health and cognitive abilities. My Opinion: Okay then, if there are concerns about trump's health and cognitive abilities, why did he have "cardiovascular and abdominal checks" according to Karolying Leavitt's MRI results? I did an AI search of what men 79 years old usually have an MRI scan done for and these are the results: A 79-year-old man might need an MRI to diagnose or monitor neurological issues like stroke, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's, investigate symptoms like headaches or memory loss, and assess other age-related conditions like cancer, joint problems, or brain changes. MRIs can provide detailed images of soft tissues, helping doctors find issues that are not always apparent through routine exams. Neurological and Cognitive Health Stroke and brain changes: An MRI can identify signs of a past stroke or other brain changes. Dementia and Alzheimer's: It can help detect early signs of Alzheimer's and other dementias, which can be missed by standard exams. Parkinson's disease: It can aid in diagnosing conditions like Parkinson's, which involves problems with movement, stiffness, and balance. Tumors: An MRI is crucial for detecting brain tumors. Cancer and Other Diseases Cancer detection: A full-body MRI can help detect early signs of cancer in various organs. Prostate cancer: While screening decisions are complex for this age group, an MRI can provide detailed information about the prostate, especially if symptoms are present. Other Conditions Joint and bone issues: An MRI can help evaluate bone and joint problems, including those related to arthritis or other degenerative conditions. Muscle and tissue problems: The scan can identify issues with muscles and other soft tissues that may affect mobility and function. Hearing loss: An MRI can help determine if hearing loss in one ear is caused by a brain tumor

Who is telling the truth? (neither party...)

In my opinion, the reason trump said he wouldn't have wanted a second hit is that he wants to covering his butt for any possible investigation or litigation. He'd rather Pentagon pete walk the plank. He probably slept good that night... “I wouldn’t have wanted that, not a second strike,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington. “The first strike was very lethal; it was fine. And if there were two people around … but Pete said that didn’t happen. I have great confidence in him. “I’m going to find out about it, but Pete said he did not order the death of those two men.” Admiral Frank M. Bradley

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said Sunday he believes "it's very possible there was a war crime committed" in the administration's first strike against an alleged drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean Sea in September. "I think it's very possible there was a war crime committed. Of course, for it to be a war crime, you have to accept the Trump administration's whole construct here ... which is we're in armed conflict, at war with this particular -- with the drug gangs. Of course, they've never presented the public with the information they've got here," Van Hollen said on ABC News' "This Week." "If that theory is wrong, then it's plain murder." So if war crimes were committed, Admiral Frank M. "Mitch" Bradley and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth would most likely be the two upfront characters that would be tried, I believe by a military court. However, if it is not classified as war they would be tried for murder. Others most likely would be involved... According to recent news reports based on leaked information, U.S. Navy Admiral Frank M. "Mitch" Bradley ordered a second missile strike on two survivors of an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean in September 2025. This was reportedly done to comply with a directive from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to "kill everybody" on board the vessel.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, said Sunday that the body will put military officials “under oath” regarding reported follow-up strikes on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean. “We’re going to have an investigation,” Kelly told host Kristen Welker on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “We’re going to have a public hearing. We’re going to put these folks under oath. And we’re going to find out what happened. And then, there needs to be accountability.”
