FTA:

"Xtend touts its drones as "low cost per kill", which has appealed to the warmongers in the bellicose Trumpf junta. In Nov 2025, the firm solidified a multimillion-dollar contract with the Pentagon but did not disclose the contract's value.

Xtend is an Israeli company whose products have been used during ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu's ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza which killed over 72,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children; maiming and wounding another 171,185, all in an area the size of Philadelphia, PA. Gaza

Drone maker Unusual Machines, which tapped Eric's brother Dummkopf Trumpf Jr in Nov 2024 as an adviser, is also investing in the merger. JFB builds commercial and residential properties, including multifamily communities and shopping centers.

This month, Xtend was among 25 companies selected to participate in the Defense Department's Drone Dominance Program, an acquisition reform effort designed to rapidly field low-cost, attack drones at scale.

Xtend also secured contracts with the Pentagon before Dummkopf Trumpf's second term, including an $8.8m deal in Dec 2024."


The Trumpf Crime Family: The most corrupt, vicious, greedy warmongering blighters to ever stalk the planet. "Board of Peace" indeed.

Dummkopf Trumpf wants Americans to fund his Board of Peace so he take that money and invest it in his son's drone business or other nefarious enterprises.

Gosh, Republican voters are stupid, helping to transfer wealth away from them and to the oligarchs.

The Red States are going to get hit hardest by the BBB.

Don't these MAGAts know that?

Well, let's bomb the Muslims in Gaza, Somalia, or Iran, that will make everything jake right here in the good Ole U. S. of A.

One wonders if anyone is able to keep tabs on the grift over the Trump administrations...goodness knows I am not. Being the same age as Trump, I am fine with understanding that aging is a bear and one needs to relax and let younger brains take over...younger as in sixty or so. So wish we had age limits on running for the Presidency.

It's not greed... It's avarice... and that makes it worse.

Still breathless after Hunter Biden, eh?
The Trump crime family makes Hunter Biden look like a little boy pocketing an extra penny from his lemonade stand.

The history books are gonna have a field day in ten years.
