Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.

Government spending UP even after DOGE. They saved nothing but destroyed much. It will take a long time to rebuild what was broken. We may never know the true toll in treasure and lives.
