Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security United States Coast Guard Commandant United States Coast Guard 2703 Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE Washington, DC 20593-7000 Staff Symbol: CCG Phone: (202) 372-4411 5730 31 ост 2025 The Honorable Rand H. Paul United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Paul: In response to your letter dated October 6, 2025, regarding the Coast Guard's efforts to interdict illicit drugs headed towards the United States since September 1, 2024, I offer the following: 1.

The funny thing is I’ve actually heard a couple of originals but my post was only about one of them.
