As the trump administration continues to use Navy personnel for military action off Venezuela, I'd like to remind everyone of what trump did December 1, 2025 when he pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández. Juan Orlando Hernández is the former Honduran president. He was convicted in a U.S. federal court on March 8, 2024, of three counts of drug trafficking and weapons conspiracy. Prosecutors proved he participated in a 18-year-long conspiracy to transport over 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras, starting as far back as 2004. He did more as did his brother... Last month, Trump cheered a military assault by U.S. forces that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and brought them to the U.S. to face charges related to cocaine trafficking. Maduro, trump said, led a “vicious cartel” that “flooded our nation with lethal poison responsible for the deaths of countless Americans.” But when it comes to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was tried and convicted in the U.S. in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison for taking bribes and allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S., Trump has taken a decidedly softer tone.

The US military has assembled a massive collection of weapons systems in the Middle East amid diplomatic negotiations between the US and Iran, flooding ships and aircraft to nearby waters and the constellation of US bases in the region.

Good move Great Britain... British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has blocked a request from donald trump to allow US forces to use UK air bases during any preemptive attack on Iran, saying it could break international law, according to multiple reports in British media citing government sources.

Donald Trump has suggested changing the law so he can give himself the Congressional Medal of Honor, bragging about his bravery in the same breath he mused about soldiers who lost their limbs in war. In a meandering speech in Georgia on Thursday, the draft-dodging president recounted trying to give himself the medal after visiting Iraq in his first term but was talked out of it by his advisers.

The U.S. Navy announced it has taken delivery of its sixth Auxiliary Personnel Lighter–Small (APL) Class berthing and messing barge from Bollinger Shipyards following the recent successful completion of acceptance trials. The 269'x69' APL 72 will be used by the Navy to house duty crewmembers while ships are in port for maintenance availabilities and inter-deployment training cycles. APLs are mobile and can be towed to new bases or shipyards to support changing fleet requirements, but also offer potential use for humanitarian missions and other temporary assignments.

“If the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign,” the beleaguered Pentagon chief said. It was a pointed reminder that Hegseth is not exactly open to engaging with military officials whose views differ from his own. On the contrary, he’s proved himself eager to purge the armed forces of those he deems unworthy — a campaign that’s ongoing.

Amid a review commissioned by Navy Secretary John Phelan, the Navy will be cutting back the number of mandatory uniforms issued to sailors, the service’s director of Military Personnel Plans and Policy said.

Over the past few days, the U.S. has continued to move cutting-edge F-35 and F-22 jet fighters toward the Middle East, according to flight-tracking data and a U.S. official.

And critical air defenses have been deployed to the region in recent weeks.

Authorities have launched a death investigation after a 19-year-old was found unresponsive earlier this month at Naval Station Great Lakes. The Lake County Coroner's Office said around 12:15 p.m., on Feb. 8, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic first responders and the Great Lakes Police Department responded to the naval base for a report of an unresponsive person.

The sources noted it would likely be a joint U.S.-Israeli campaign that's much broader in scope — and more existential for the regime — than the Israeli-led 12-day war last June, which the U.S. eventually joined to take out Iran's underground nuclear facilities.
