Trump hits a new low: He just pardoned a man who killed more Americans than Bin Laden. Juan Hernández, former president of Honduras, was a key figure in flooding the US with cocaine. During his drug ring, US overdoses from cocaine skyrocketed. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-just...
Trump just pardoned a person responsible for more American deaths than Bin Laden
Trump 100% personally profited from this pardon

It is probably best that Obama killed Osama Bin Laden before Trump had the chance to pardon him.

The Trump administration is fully aware of the effectiveness of using vaccine disinformation to divide a population and undermine trust in scientific institutions.

Under the first Trump administration, the U.S. military ran a clandestine operation to undermine trust in China’s COVID19 vaccine.
Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to incite fear of China vaccines
The covert effort began under Trump and continued into Biden’s presidency, Reuters found. Health experts say it endangered lives for possible geopolitical gain.

Adding that Jason Lee Van Dyke is also deeply involved with Patriot Front. He's more than PF's preferred lawyer. Inside PF, Van Dyke is known as Big John TX. Only members of PF are given aliases b/c they want to hide their involvement in the openly fascist group.

Trump hits a new low: He just pardoned a man who killed more Americans than Osama Bin Laden. Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras--was a key figure in flooding the US with cocaine. Nearly 30,000 Americans die from cocaine overdoses per year. Many from Hernandez's cocaine.

Q: You outlined the dangers posed by drugs. So what explanation do you have for Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras?

SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I don't know the details. Happy to look into it. I can't speak to it

Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it?

MARSHALL: I haven't researched it

The new chair of ACIP, Kirk Milhoan, is a spreader of vaccine disinformation.

He was fact-checked by AFP for wildly misinterpreting a study about myocarditis in athletes, claiming the vaccine was to blame.

None of the athletes had been vaccinated.

They had, however, had COVID19.

We know murder and a war crime was committed by the speed in which Trump and Pete Hegseth engaged in the cover-up. Admiral Bradley is being scapegoated. If I'm Bradley, I'm lawyering up. To save himself, with encouragement from Trump, Hegseth will not hesitate to LIE under oath.

Members of the military, this is why you do NOT follow illegal orders:

Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth are setting up Admiral Bradley to be solely responsible for killing the survivors of the U.S. boat attack in the Caribbean.

You might be next. They only care about protecting themselves.

Judge Andrew Napolitano, Princeton Class of 1972, weighs in on Pete Hegseth, Princeton Class of 2003; calls his actions a war crime:
Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”

They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

"the combat decisions he has made"

Hegseth is setting up Admiral Bradley to take the blame for killing the survivors--which is just the tip of an immense iceberg of illegal acts.

U.S. military officials beware: Following orders is not a defense to murder or war crimes.

That beeping you hear is the bus backing over Bradley. The lesson here is “refuse the illegal order”. Of course it should have been refused in the first place, but there is not even cover for underlings when leadership is threatened.
NYT: "Mr. Hegseth’s directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to [kill everyone & destroy the boat]...his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing at least two people on the boat survived' www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/u...
