Oh yeah! Given how common this particular trope is on the Hallmark Channel, especially around Christmas, I can see the C-Suit fear. 😆

Soon it’ll be pirating time! Well, privateering, since we’ll have Letters of Marque and Reprisal and, hence, safe ports in the US. 😆 Some of us lads – and a few lassies I’m sure – will be able to hoist the Jolly Roger and prowl the Caribbean for enemy vessels to seize or sink.
And no, Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m not exactly kidding. There’s a bill introduced to Congress granting President Trump the legal authority to issue those Letters of Marque and Reprisal.
S.3567 – A bill to authorize the President of the United States to issue letters of marque and reprisal with respect to acts of aggression against the United States by a member of a cartel, or a member of a cartel-linked organization, or any conspirator associated with a cartel, and for other purposes.
— Sen. Lee, Mike (R-UT)
(Introduced 12/18/2025)
Of course, absolutely nothing will come of this. Nothing! This is just a bit of fun and fantasy. S.3567 is, was, and will remain DOA in committee. It won’t even reach a floor vote, where it would fail anyway, given that Democrats vote against every single bill put forth by American Senators.
Even beyond enemy action or inaction in the Senate, there’s a laundry list of issues that would need to be addressed. While the U.S. Constitution, in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, empowers Congress to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal,” there’s a bit more to it than just commissioning ships’ captains into privateers and setting them upon Venezuelan narcoterrorists and, potentially, tankers violating international and/or American sanctions. A whole legal infrastructure would need to be (re)created, e.g., Prize Courts.
Ah well, it’s a fun thought even though there’s statistically no chance that I’ll ever be able to captain a modern sloop-of-war claiming prizes from Caracus to the Gulf of America.

Yeah, know the time and what the calendar is based upon. The poor, ever-angry Atheists, especially the rabid Antitheists, have a hard time with this… which makes me laugh. Yeah, with a very few exceptions, the whole world uses a Christian-based calendar, and this is The Year of Their Lord 2025.
Of course, the Christian calendar is almost certainly wrong too. The creator of the Anno Domini dating system, Dionysius Exiguus, in all likelihood got it wrong. Yeshua ben Yahweh, aka Jesus Christ, had to have been born somewhere around 6 – 4 BC, since King Harod – a major character in the whole Nativity – died in 4 BC.

Sadly, this is fake. Damn though, Cartel Boat would be the best game for 2026. Just the butthurt it would cause the democrat filth would make it so. 😉
