They're bombing "drug cartel" boats in the Caribbean, yet Trump just gave a full pardon to former president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernández, who was found guilty last year by a U.S. jury of conspiring to import 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. He was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison. WTF!

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Hmmmm, I wonder what he's afraid that they'll learn from a probe. It's time for some forensic accounting investigations into his and Reform's finances.

Yet Farage is so quick to call for investigations into Rayner, Starmer/Rape gangs (just brown ones obvs) etc but not into corruption/treason by Reform❗️🤔

This is not really surprising. We all knew this was probably happening. Nice of them to finally prove it, though.

At this point, perhaps we should consider suing insurance companies for extortion. I'm serious.

Yes, it looks like the reporter must have known about the deal being cooked up to develop the Gaza strip, which they will all profit from immensely. Netanyahu just had to "let" October 7th happen, and then they could start "clearing" out the land for development. These people are pure evil.

Since I expanded California Highway Patrol deployments in late August, officers have:
☑️ Seized 1 ton of illegal drugs
☑️ Made 1,234 arrests
☑️ Recovered 216 stolen vehicles
☑️ Removed 54 illegal firearms
Public safety is improving and California is moving forward.

Let's see history repeated, shall we?
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
