Trump commutes sentence of former US Rep. George Santos in federal fraud case
Trump commutes sentence of former US Rep. George Santos in federal fraud case
President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who was slated to serve more than seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft charges.apnews.com
“George Santos was somewhat of a “rogue,” but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” wrote Trump in a Truth Social post. “At least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

US Forces Attacked Drug-Smuggling Vessel, Three Killed, Says Hegseth
The United States announced Sunday another strike against what it called a drug-running boat, this time attacking an alleged Colombian leftist rebel vessel in an apparent expansion of a US military operation off the coasts of South America.
Word of the attack from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth came as President Donald Trump said the United States is halting financial aid to Colombia, accusing its president of condoning the production of drugs. This took embattled relations between two longstanding allies to a new low.
The United States has had warships deployed in the Caribbean off Venezuela since August and attacked at least six boats it said were running drugs toward the United States, killing at least 27 people so far.
Experts question the legality of attacking such boats in international waters without trying to intercept them or arrest the crew members and bring them to trial.
The flotilla has created acute tension with Venezuela amid fears the ultimate goal of the operation might be to oust leftist President Nicolas Maduro, who Washington says leads a drug cartel.
In a strike carried out Friday, Hegseth said US forces attacked a vessel he said was affiliated with Colombia's National Liberation Army, a leftist guerrilla group known as ELN in Spanish. Three crew members were killed, he said.
Hegseth said the vessel was traveling in international waters in an area under the purview of the US Southern Command, which oversees US military operations in Latin America. He did not specify where. Colombia has both Caribbean and Pacific coasts.
Trump has clashed repeatedly of late with President Gustavo Petro, a former guerrilla leader who has been highly critical of the US naval deployment.

"For the secretary and other top officials". Hardly for Noem's private use going by the headline. I would suspect that there is more to the story than what is being reported.

I would suspect that the inflation/cost of living numbers are mostly from the tariffs. We shall have to wait and see how this plays out. President Trump is trying to bring manufacturing back to this country. On another note, he is trying to open up mining of rare earth minerals in our country. He does not want our country relying on other countries such as China for these products. The Democrats did nothing about that.
Could there be something to this?
