Most certainly not relaxing or sleeping well, this report details, is President Donald Trump, who declared the United States is now at war with drug cartels deemed by the White House as terrorist groups and informed Congress yesterday: “The United States is in a non-international armed conflict with designated terrorist organizations”—a declaration of war that followed the United States government grimly warning: “The drug trafficking threat in Chicago encompasses virtually every aspect of the threat facing our nation—wholesale supply, transshipment, distribution, use, and money laundering—all of which are occurring at very high levels...
The vast majority of illegal drugs distributed in Chicago are supplied by Mexican cartels, including the Sinaloa Cartel, Beltran-Leyva Cartel, Gulf Cartel, La Familia Michoacana, the Guerreros Unidos, and the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación”.
Immediately prior to President Trump informing Congress that the United States is in a non-international armed conflict with designated Mexican cartel terrorist organizations, this report notes, it was revealed: “Customs and Border Protection asked for an unprecedentedly massive drone flight ban over Chicago due to a credible threat of small, unmanned aircraft systems being used against law enforcement during Midway Blitz...Midway Blitz is the name of the operation taking place in the Chicago area...The flight restriction extends for a 15-mile radius over the greater Chicago area and into Lake Michigan”.
Along with President Trump waging war against Mexican drug cartels in Chicago with the Midway Blitz operation, this report notes, he is also attacking their main base of operations in Los Angeles-California, and his federal officials gravely warned: “The Sinaloa Cartel’s reach is vast and unremitting..This ruthless cartel is intent on cashing in, permeating our communities with their poison, with no regard to human suffering”.
A few hours after President Trump informed Congress that the United States is in a non-international armed conflict, this report continues, it was revealed:
—eyewitness Miguel Morales told Fox News Digital:
“So I saw the sky turn orange, and I was just wondering, like, what the hell happened...What is that?...And then I saw the whole explosion happen...It was just like a whole mushroom cloud of fire...It just started popping up”—and was an eyewitness account that exactly matches those given by Russian peoples who daily watch Ukrainian Nazi unmanned drones attacking Russian refineries.
Kept from the American peoples knowledge by their leftist fake news media, but not to President Trump, as evidenced by his massive ban on drones over Chicago, this report concludes, was the grave news revealed last month:
“Mexican media recently confirmed something many experts had already suspected: local drug dealers are sending representatives to fight for Ukraine...
Citing sources familiar with the matter, the Mexican newspaper Milenio reported that one of the country’s largest drug cartels is acquiring advanced military capabilities, especially in drone warfare...This knowledge is due to the return of Mexican veterans from Ukraine after participating in the war to gain military experience”.

A massive fire erupted at an oil refinery in Southern California Thursday night.
Firefighters were dispatched around 9:35 p.m. to the Chevron refinery in El Segundo after receiving calls of smoke in the area, according to authorities.
Billowing smoke and orange flames could be seen in the sky for miles across the South Bay Area.
Fire Division Chief Casey Snow with the El Segundo Fire Department told Fox News Digital that some of the products – gasoline and diesel – were burning.

Witnesses described the fiery scene as visible for miles.
"So I saw the sky turn orange, and I was just wondering, like, what the h--- happened. What is that? And then I saw the whole explosion happen. It was just like a whole mushroom cloud of fire. It just started popping up," Miguel Morales, told Fox News Digital.
Snow said crews contained the flames to the refinery and were focusing on preventing the fire from spreading.
"It’s contained to the Chevron refinery, so there’s no hazard to the adjacent cities or residents in El Segundo or Manhattan Beach," Snow said. "Units on scene are working to depressurize and isolate the incident and suppress the fire."

He also noted that while it is a "waiting game" because of what's burning, there is no threat to residents in surrounding cities at this time.
"It’s just a waiting game right now because there’s residual gasoline and diesel that’s going to burn, and there’s not much we can do about it. We’re just keeping everything around it cool and trying to depressurize it, and eventually that gasoline will burn out and we’ll be in good shape," Snow said.

He added that there are no injuries to report, which was also confirmed by a Chevron spokesperson.
"All refinery personnel and contractors have been accounted for and there are no injuries," Allison Cook said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
She added, "No evacuation orders for area residents have been put in place by emergency response agencies monitoring the incident, and no exceedances have been detected by the facilities fence line monitoring system."

The refinery is one of the largest on the West Coast and serves as a critical hub for the region’s fuel supply. It spans about 2 square miles and processes crude oil into jet fuel, gasoline and other petroleum products.
The facility employs more than 1,000 Chevron employees and another 1,000 contractors work at the site daily, underscoring its role as a major employer in the South Bay Area.
