The Constitution Vs. The Commander-In-Chief: The Duty To Disobey Unlawful Orders By John & Nisha Whitehead Dec 17, 2025 Every Military Service-Member’s Oath Is A Pledge To Defend The Constitution Against All Enemies, Foreign And Domestic. It is not an oath to a politician. It is not an oath to a party. And it is not an oath to the police state. Yet what happens when those same men and women are being told—by their own government—that obedience to power and loyalty to a political leader come before allegiance to the Constitution they swore to uphold? That question isn’t hypothetical. It is the moral line now being tested in real time, and it goes to the heart of what kind of country we are: do we live in a constitutional republic governed by the rule of law, or in a militarized police state where “legality” is whatever the person with the most power and the biggest army say it is? The answer becomes painfully clear when you look at what our troops are being ordered to do—and what “we the people” are tacitly allowing them to be ordered to do—in the so-called name of national security. It’s legally dubious enough that the military is being used to enforce immigration crackdowns and police protests in American cities. But now they’re being tasked with killing civilians far from any declared battlefield in the absence of an imminent threat—all while being told that questioning the legality of those missions is itself a form of disloyalty. So, which is it: obedience to the Constitution or the Commander-in-Chief? At the center of this latest maelstrom is a report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to “kill everybody” on a maritime vessel in the Caribbean that was suspected of transporting drugs. According to multiple accounts, after an initial “lethal, kinetic” strike disabled the vessel and killed nine men on board, a second strike was carried out to kill two survivors clinging to the wreckage—an alleged “double tap strike” that legal experts warn could constitute murder or a war crime if the survivors no longer posed a threat. Intentionally killing survivors clinging to the remains of a boat in the middle of the ocean, in the absence of an imminent threat, whether or not the U.S. is engaged in “armed conflict” with drug cartels, is unlawful. Not surprisingly, the Trump Administration has done an about-face. Suddenly, the White House—which had been gleefully chest-thumping over its power to kill extrajudicially—is signaling its willingness to scapegoat subordinates in the chain of command. Here’s the problem, though. While the media fixates on who will bear the blame for ordering the double-tap strike, the government war machine is moving forward, full steam ahead. The September 2nd boat strike was part of a broader Trump Administration campaign of maritime attacks that has already killed at least 80 people at sea, all without a formal declaration of war or due process—evidence of who they were or what they had done—to warrant an extrajudicial execution. This is yet another of Trump’s everywhere, endless wars—this time at sea—sold as toughness on “narco-terrorists” at a moment when his poll numbers are slipping, economic promises have failed to manifest, and new Epstein-related revelations continue to surface. When presidents manufacture new fronts in a forever war whenever they need a distraction, we should all beware. The Trump Administration has tried to frame this preemptive maritime war on suspected “narco-terrorists” as a “non-international armed conflict” with designated terrorist organizations. Yet what it amounts to is an undeclared war, launched in international waters, without just cause and without congressional authorization. The legal landscape is not murky—it is clear. Three bodies of law converge here: the Constitution’s allocation of war powers, the international law of armed conflict, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. First, there has been no declaration of war by Congress. Under the Constitution, only Congress can declare war. The president cannot start wars based solely on his own authority. Second, the law of armed conflict and the law of the sea forbid killing shipwrecked survivors who pose no immediate threat. Third, the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires every service-member to refuse manifestly unlawful orders. A command to “kill everybody” is precisely the kind of order these guardrails were written to forbid. Every military recruit is supposed to learn in basic training that there is a duty to obey lawful orders, and an equal duty to disobey manifestly unlawful orders. No president—Republican or Democrat—can override that principle. The Commander-in-Chief may issue orders, but he does not get to erase the Constitution or rewrite the laws of war by fiat. The White House rationale—that a preemptive “kill everybody” attack “was conducted in self-defense to protect U.S. interests”—should terrify every American. If the government can redefine “self-defense” to justify killing incapacitated survivors on a sinking boat, then it can justify killing anyone—at home or abroad, in uniform or out of it. The danger becomes even clearer when you examine the rhetoric now shaping national policy. Now Trump wants to launch land attacks on Venezuela, a country that is conveniently richer in oil reserves than Iraq—all in the so-called name of fighting the war on drugs. Meanwhile, Trump just issued a presidential pardon to Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former President of Honduras, who had been sentenced to 45 years in prison for conspiring with drug traffickers to move cocaine into the U.S. So the president is blowing up boats in the Caribbean he claims—without proof—are ferrying drugs all the while pardoning someone who was convicted of conspiring to transport hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. This corrupt double standard has become business as usual for the Trump Administration. Yet conscripting the military to do the dirty work of the police state—and then throwing them under the bus for doing so—takes us into even darker territory. The U.S. government’s weaponization of the armed forces for political power is a betrayal of the Constitution, but it is also a betrayal of the very men and women who swore to give their lives for it. This has never been about public safety. As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, this has always been about power—who wields it, who is protected by it, and who is crushed under it. This betrayal of those who swore an oath to the Constitution is not an accident—it is a warning. Be warned.

Holiday Shopping Safety Tips From The Hollywood Police Department By City Of Hollywood Dec 10, 2025 The Holiday Season Brings Plenty Of Cheer As Families Shop For Gifts, Support Local Businesses, And Donate To Causes They Care About. It Also Brings Crowded Stores, Busy Parking Lots, And A Surge In Online Shopping, Which Creates Opportunities For Thieves And Scammers. To Help You Keep Your Purchases And Donations Safe, The Hollywood Police Department Offers These Updated Reminders For A Secure And Stress-Free Season. Shopping In Stores: • Plan ahead and avoid carrying more than you can manage. Bring a friend or ask a store employee for help with large purchases. • Consider safer ways to pay, like one-time or multi-use disposable credit cards. • Keep your payment methods out of sight until you are ready to use them. Thieves often “shoulder surf” to steal account information. • Alert store staff or security if you see an unattended bag or suspicious item • Hold purses close to your body and keep wallets in a front pocket or inside a coat. • Only carry the credit cards you need and limit the amount of cash you bring. • Keep young children close and choose a central meeting spot in case you get separated. • Encourage children to stay inside the store until you reunite with them. • Make a note of where you parked. • Park in well-lit, high-traffic areas and avoid secluded spots. • Have your keys ready when approaching your vehicle. • Before getting inside, check your backseat and surroundings. If anything feels off, return to the store and ask for security. • Keep packages and shopping bags out of sight. A locked trunk is best. • Never leave purses, phones, or wallets visible inside your car. • Always lock your doors and close your windows, even while driving. • If using an ATM, choose one in a well-lit location and stay aware of your surroundings. • Expect heavier traffic and impatient drivers. Stay alert and avoid distractions. Shopping Online: • Use a credit card instead of a debit card when possible. It offers stronger protection if something goes wrong with a purchase. • Look for a secure connection when entering personal information. A padlock in the address bar is a good sign your session is encrypted. • Some credit card companies provide single-use card numbers for online purchases. Ask your bank if this service is available. • Protect your personal information. No reputable company will call you and ask for your credit card number, bank details, or social security number. • Save order confirmations and receipts so you can track purchases and verify statements later. • Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true. Many scams rely on urgency or extremely low prices to lure shoppers. • Only shop through official websites. Avoid clicking on links from unsolicited emails or texts since many phishing scams mimic well-known retailers. Preventing Package Theft • Track deliveries and bring packages inside as soon as possible. • Consider having items shipped to your workplace, a trusted neighbor, or an Amazon Locker or similar pickup location. • Install a doorbell camera or use a security system if possible. • Request signature confirmation for high-value deliveries. Holiday Charity Scams: • Verify the charity before donating. Check if it is registered with the State Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at: www.fdacs.gov/Consumer-Resources/Charities . Or by calling: 1 (800) HELP-FLA. Call: 1 (800) 435-7352. Review how much of each dollar supports the mission rather than administrative costs. • The Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance at: www.give.org . Or calling: (703) 247-9321 can also provide helpful background and complaint histories. • Watch for names that sound similar to legitimate nonprofits. Scammers often choose misleading names. • Never give financial information to a caller or through an unsolicited email or text. If you want to donate, ask for mailed information or go directly to the organization’s official website. • Check the IRS website at: www.irs.gov for a charity’s tax-exempt status. The Auto Revocation list shows organizations that have lost their exemption due to missing annual filings. By staying aware and taking a few simple precautions, you can protect your purchases, avoid scams, and enjoy a safer holiday season.

The event was designed to give children an opportunity to experience a day in the life of their parents. Take Your Child to Work Day is a special occasion. It's a day when children get to visit their parents' workplaces and experience the daily routines of different professions. This event is not only a fun and educational day for kids, but it's also an opportunity for companies and organizations to show their support for families. Children who participate in Take Your Child to Work Day get to see what goes on behind the scenes in different workplaces. They can ask questions, learn new skills, and get a taste of what it's like to work in different fields. From hospitals to law firms to tech companies, there are countless opportunities for children to explore a wide range of careers. Take Your Child to Work Day is also a great way for companies to build relationships with the community. By inviting families into their workplaces, companies are showing that they care about families and want to support their growth and development. This event is a great way to strengthen bonds with the community and to create a positive image for the company. Overall, Take Your Child to Work Day is an important occasion that benefits both children and companies. It's a day for children to dream big and to explore new opportunities, and it's a day for companies to show their commitment to supporting families and building strong relationships with the community.

They learned about the different roles that people play in making the city run smoothly, and they had the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the City Employees. The highlight of the day was the K9 Demonstration, which was performed by one of the Police Department's specially trained K9. The children were amazed at the dog's ability to follow commands and to apprehend a "suspect." They were also impressed by the dog's agility and strength. After the K9 Demonstration, the children were treated to an Awards Ceremony. The children were thrilled and they left the event feeling proud of their parents and their accomplishments.
