The U.S. military carried out another round of strikes against alleged drug runners Monday, this time killing 14 suspected narco-terrorists on four boats in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Tuesday: “Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific. “The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics.

Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no U.S. forces harmed. “Regarding the survivor, USSOUTHCOM immediately initiated Search and Rescue (SAR) standard protocols; Mexican SAR authorities accepted the case and assumed responsibility for coordinating the rescue. “The Department has spent over TWO DECADES defending other homelands. Now, we’re defending our own. These narco-terrorists have killed more Americans than Al-Qaeda, and they will be treated the same. We will track them, we will network them, and then, we will hunt and kill them.” Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

All the boats are spontaneously combusting.” “Can we get this in 4K? Asking for a friend.” “Death from above, below, by land or sea, it has been long overdue to rid ourselves of this terrible plague. I grow weary of the loss of life I see in the ER, and complications thereof from narcotic abuse. For what it’s worth, I lost a daughter to this demon as well. It hits hard, and now, we strike back harder. Thank you Secretary Hegseth, and thank you, Mr. President.” Follow Joe on X @JoeKovacsNews
