To Trump, the US is really nothing more than a way for him to make billions $$$. It’s sad though for those of us who care about the country and people everywhere.
Most cruise ships are operated under the flag of a foreign nation, even if the company is chartered in the US. That makes me wonder whether ICE has the authority to arrest any of the ship’s crew, provided they remain on the vessel while it is in a US port.
Disney Magic Crew Members Arrested in Child Exploitation Sting; Disney Issues Statement
Several crew members from the Disney Magic cruise ship were among 28 people arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as part of a child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) investigation.
The operation took place between April 23 and April 27, during which CBP boarded eight cruise ships docked in San Diego. Of those arrested, 26 were crew members from the Philippines, one from Portugal, and one from Indonesia. Authorities confirmed that 27 of the 28 individuals were found to have been involved in the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of child sexual exploitation material. Their visas were subsequently cancelled and they were returned to their countries of citizenship. No names were released, nor were the other cruise lines involved.
Disney confirmed it has a zero-tolerance policy for such conduct and stated that it fully cooperated with law enforcement. Those individuals involved are no longer employed with Disney Cruise Line.
Something became clear to me today when I happened to hear most of Fresh Air on NPR. T. Gross was interviewing an Atlantic writer who just wrote a story about how the American "Oligarchs" aka the tech billionaires have switched allegiances from Democratic to Maga Republicanism primarily under the leadership of David Sachs. They've been pushing for deregulation of the tech industry and in return Trump has profited magnificently namely with crypto, increasing his worth by 7.5 billion in crypto alone. The power and money is being concentrated into the hands of a few like maybe no other time in the world and Trump and his family are shamelessly profited off of this new money laundering scheme. Obscene amounts of the "Oligarch's" money is being thrown at MAGA campaigns and the Indiana state senatorial races are a good example of what I'm scared could happen on a broader scale. How do we counter that? Grrrrrr.
That's why we need to stop dark money from buying seats at the state and national level. Montana is leading the way on this effort and if we collect enough signatures to get it on the November hopefully it will pass.
I'm going to disagree with you about why the Indiana Incumbents lost last night, though. It was not Trump. It is the people who voted them out. Trump is as powerful as the people allow him to be. But if they still continue this trend, their voices will quite soon no longer be heard.
Look at the fine print and intent of the bill that Republicans will soon pass in the Senate, completely taking American voices away from anything to do with the ballroom or their border patrol institution. They'll have no voice in how their taxes are spent, or whose pockets they go into.
Many Americans are willfully giving away their rights and freedoms because they believe a party that willfully and cynically lies to them as they pander to their fears and prejudices.
You’re looking very “Presidential” in these news updates Adam. Keep at it…I am behind you 100%! Little by little, the more you are everywhere, all at once, speaking the truth with clarity and conviction, more people will start to see that we are listening to our next UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🇺🇸 PRESIDENT!
Thanks Adam! Love hearing the details I wouldn't usually get!! It's sad how trump is ruining America's reputation. It must personally hurt as you risked your life defending democracy and tried/did make positive changes in Congress. God bless you for what you are doing now!!
Adam, you are so right about the credibility of America being destroyed by Trump and his regime. And a strong, smart and respected country can win a war without firing a single shot. The Trump regime exhibits none of these qualities, which explains the current state of affairs.
I don’t think Trump and his Cabinet have any idea what credibility is. He/they wouldn’t know credibility if it landed on top of them. First, it’s we’re getting close to an agreement and then he’s threatening Iran. He is losing touch with reality.
Renaming ICE to NICE, that is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. Changing the name without changing the players is a joke. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig., it’s still a pig. As for Lutnick he lied to Congress but he gets a pass? Time for the likes of James Comer to stop selling his brand of BS defending Lutnick. What a circus!
Thanks Adam: How disgusting and dangerous , pulling out of the WHO. Then you have RFK Jr. running the HHS department into the ground. A recipe for disaster.. Isn't this on again off again war with Iran just a pump and dump operation to move the market and get a little insider trading on a roll. Thanks for all the updates.
I don’t want to ever hear about women being too emotional or fickle or whatever when they run for Office in the future. He takes the cake and the pie too.
Incredible Reporting Adam!! Thank you so very much!!

How's this for "NICE":
ICE Agents Arrest Disney Cruise Line Crew in San Diego
They boarded the ship and took 10 people off. Other cruise lines were affected too.
Most cruise ships are operated under the flag of a foreign nation, even if the company is chartered in the US. That makes me wonder whether ICE has the authority to arrest any of the ship’s crew, provided they remain on the vessel while it is in a US port.
I was thinking the same thing when I read the article. But, ICE not having authority hasn't stopped them from doing anything they want so far.
🤬
I stand corrected.

How many nannies do 4 kids need?
That is so funny. Just what I was thinking!!
I was wondering the same thing….
When you’re rich, one nanny per child.
Maybe they weren’t there for the children …
That’s what I was thinking. Were the nannies there for a “preview?”
Thanks Adam! Love hearing the details I wouldn't usually get!! It's sad how trump is ruining America's reputation. It must personally hurt as you risked your life defending democracy and tried/did make positive changes in Congress. God bless you for what you are doing now!!

Instead of NICE, how about DICE ("roll the dice--you might be next), or LICE (people who run ICE), or VICE (what ICE accomplishes).

It’s ONLY an Epstein diversion.
With:
1. Our military at risk,
2. Trump cannot make a coherent sentence.
3. Impeach NOW!
Kegsbreath is the USA's answer to Bagdad Bob!
. . . and I have to laugh every time I see "Kegsbreath". Thanks, Jeff, for the guffaw. We certainly need a few these days.
I call him Hogsbreath!
Thank you, Adam. We need someone like you to break up the two-party duopoly.
We’re not calling ICE “NICE” because they’re not nice and not good people.
I don’t want to ever hear about women being too emotional or fickle or whatever when they run for Office in the future. He takes the cake and the pie too.
Love these short Breaking News videos!!
