The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine

Trump has droned on and on about drugs in this country. Yet here he is pardoning a Drug king pin (President of a Honduras). The hypocrisy with this man is mind boggling.

When sick people have no insurance, they don't seek care until they are verysick, but by then, it costs so much more. And, when people without insurance show up at a hospital, they can't be turned away. The hospital spreads that cost out for all of us.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Just a reminder. Trump can order, through the DOJ, the release of the Epstein Files anytime he wants. We don't need Congress to vote. So, regardless of what he says, clearly, he doesn't want to release the files.

November 12, 2025 It turns out Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and House Democrats were right to call it the “Epstein Shutdown” for the last several weeks on social media and in interviews.

We need to keep in mind, what we have seen so far are NOT from the Epstein Files. And by all accounts, those are worse!

They don't care about healthcare and would rather defund it so it dies. They'd rather provide tax breaks to their rich friends than help out the common man. Regular folks who are getting hit. These are folks who don't work for large corporations, who have to purchase their healthcare via the ACA.
