A story broke a couple of days ago that we all need to know about. But before I tell you what it is, I want you to take a breath. Maybe sit down for this one. Because it is one of the most disturbing and disgusting things to come out of this administration, and that is saying something. Last August, in the warm Pacific waters of Pearl Harbor, the Director of the FBI of the United States of America put on a mask and a snorkel and went for a swim. Navy SEALs led the excursion with two boats, while Patel and nine other people were in the water for a thirty-minute sightseeing swim. The Defense Department, in its own internal emails, called it a "VIP Snorkel." But it was anything but that. Because approximately forty feet below him, as he snorkeled on this tour, lay hundreds of American sailors and Marines in their final resting place, where they have been since the morning of December 7, 1941. And Kash Patel, the Director of the FBI, decided that he wanted to break every moral, ethical, and military standard and snorkel above their graves.
We still remember Pearl Harbor. A horrendous day that brought USA into WW2 which thank heavens we won , so it is important to not step back there with this totalitarian administration doing its dammdest to overrule all protection rights of the American people. Stand up and shout and Democrat politicians please let’s start hearing your voices loud and clear.
Thank you Heather for having the courage and dedication to report what every American needs to read and hear every day. You speak for every American who still believes in our Democracy and the freedoms, we the people, are still fighting for every day. Keep your light shinning bright, because we share your love for this country.
Patel is trying to”out Trump” to keep and now to save his job. He knows he was hired as Roy Cohn and as long as he keeps Trump out of jail he has been given agency to act out the worst versions of himself. Or best, hard to tell the difference.
Thank you. The press just glossed over it as another news story. You made it personal by relating the stories told by their families. I had never heard the actual story of what happened to the Arizona and the men trapped inside. Taking your children to the site will leave a lasting memory and instill compassion and respect. Something that this administration sorely needs but will never be able to deliver. History will hold them accountable.
Heartbreaking. Disrespectful and crass. How on earth can such people have serious positions of power in our country? It is long past time to reset requirements and processes so that only experienced candidates are examined and selected.
Heather, your unwavering morality and strong conscience is a beacon of hope. As we all feel the constant heaviness of this regime’s cruelty and lawlessness, you remind me there are countless others who are like you: decent, unwavering, true. Thank you.
Heather. You said: “This is who they are.” I wrote those exact words years ago. Go to: www.TheCenterForWorldPeace.Love and click on Measiah For Hire-Curriculum Vitae-Course of Life- Parts 1-10. Page 7. “This is who they are.”
The chances are great that Trump will interfere in the midterms. He knows his life is over if he loses so he has nothing to lose but to have his “army” of thugs try to strong arm the election in his favor. January 6 was a warmup test run. The MAGA Supreme Court justices are “blackshirts” who have given Trump immunity and a license to commit evil deeds. Trump is soulless. He is the embodiment of extreme negative dark energy, aka, the “Father of lies.” He is a black hole. John 11:44. We can even label him “anti-Christ, but not THE anti-Christ. Christ is not a person; it is a vibration. Christ means Love. Trump is the antithesis to Love. He is void of that which a human being is. Created in the image and likeness of God.” Genesis 1:27. Psalm 82:6. God is Love. We are Love. Trump and his lemmings are headed to the river. Gold and money is Trump’s God. Jesus said: “If you are not with me you are against me.” It’s time to take sides. There is no gray. There is only black or white. Light or darkness. Ecclesiastes 3:15. “And God will call the past to account.” What goes around comes around Mr. Trump. You and all who follow you are about to reap what you have sown. You are all the abomination of desolation. “The handwriting is on the wall” and it cannot be erased. “This is who they are.”
Bruce, I am an atheist who was raised as a Catholic and have great respect for people who believe and live by the words of the prophet, Jesus. You have said so much truth here. And I wonder how angry you, and other Christians (or Jews or Muslims or...) are with this administration for hiding behind a cloak of religion (Pete Hogsbreath comes to mind), and their White Christian Nationalists cheerleaders who declare the golden statue of Twump in Miami is "Not a Golden Calf..." without being asked.
Your voice is important because if a Martian landed in the United States right now, the loudest voice for Christianity would be the Evangelicals who would have women so subjected to male domination, we might as well be sows in the mud suckling the litter and waiting for the slop to be delivered. Oh, wait, we need to get up and go make that slop first. And if momma don't have a hot meal ready when the master comes home, their husbands would need, because God told them to, to literally spank their wives. This is normal in evangelical households, not an aberration. Well, their entire existence is an aberration and if they wanted to do that for themselves, go do it, but want it for all women? GFY is what I say and that does not stand for good for you.
What a disgusting thing to do and the fact that it was hidden from everyone, just makes it plainer that they knew it was wrong! I don’t know how much worse it will get in your country before November. There is no transparency and the White House just keeps disrespecting the American public. Where are the Republicans and how can they tolerate what is happening, let alone allowing it to happen. I worrying about the future of as it continues on this path. Please continue to speak up and shine light on the wrong doings of your government. And keep your family and yourself safe!!!
Heather, this piece literally brought me to tears. I had heard the story earlier in the week, but your analysis laid bare its true despicable horror. And the photo you shared at the end gave me chills.
I was the same way reading this post. I’ve never been to Pearl Harbor but just the name gives me goosies head to toe! I also feel that way about Jan 6 th and chaos at the Capitol- never mind the pardons!
This is such a dark time- hopefully it will be over soon.
Heather, thank you for your voice of truth. I am a new subscriber and I am so grateful to have found you! This whole administration is full of moral degenerates! May God have mercy on their souls. We need to remove them from office to stop the harm they are doing to our country and the world.
I'm fighting back tears as I type my comment. My daughter is an active duty Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer, already has a CAR (Combat Action Ribbon) from her first tour in the Middle East shooting down Houthi drones and Iranian missiles, soon facing her second deployment, in harm's way again. We need to always honor our veterans and active duty service members, despite who is in the White House. This whole story is beyond horrible... but, somehow, it's all now just to be expected in the daily firehose of disgusting events. Thank you for your writing and reporting.
On August 29, 2024, in an article written by Josh Christensen of The New York Post entitled ‘Army rebukes Trump campaign over Arlington cemetery altercation and photo op — which Biden used in both of his presidential campaigns’, it was reported that presidential candidate Trump also showed disregard for the rules and practices at Arlington Cemetery.
‘Disregard’ is the name of the game played by this administration.

I've been to Pearl Harbor and the memorial (at least for me) is a very solemn place. I can't imagine thinking it's OK to snorkel there.

It is so good and helpful to be powerfully reminded that what our current political strife is all about—the bottom line, the end game—is values.
Ka$h Patel probably got ‘authorization’ from another drunk, a former 2nd-string weekend Fox ‘News’ personality cosplaying as the Secretary of Defense. https://media.distractify.com/brand-img/FuFf7ATVT/1200x628/pete-hegseth-skateboard-1-1759251903557.jpg

"Reverence" is a term of which rump and his pack of ghouls have no concept.

Thank you for shining a light on the privileged behavior of yet another administration official suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Delusions of height, I think.
Heather, I am so grateful for your voice. Thank you for your d dictation and courage in speaking out.
