Trump Declares War on the Whales
Mango Mussolini is declaring war on a new enemy to the United States: the whales.
Specifically, Rice's Whales.
They are down to about 100 in number and live, unfortunately for them, in the Gulf of Mexico. And that is the problem for Mango Mussolini.
Oil drilling is blocked in certain areas because of the very endangered whales so his solution is to just kill them all and no more problem.
As the Iran war pushes energy prices sharply higher, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invoked national security in seeking an exemption from endangered species laws, which make it illegal to harm or kill species on a protected list. The seldom-used Endangered Species Committee granted that request on Tuesday.
The United States fully intends to slaughter an species to extinction so we can drill for more oil that we don't need and oil companies themselves have no plans to do as we already have more oil then we need
