Honduras.
American democrat leaning NGOs have been teaching them how to conduct elections democratically as they did in Ukraine , Georgia , Egypt Romania etc .
After protests in 2017 which JOH won the 2021 November election had a new player. Smartmatic voter authentication. Joe Biden was the president then.
Zelaya's wife won 51% of the vote in 2021.
This year she has less than 24% of the vote. What changed?
Trump sent a non partisan delegation including intelligence agents to observe the elections , that's my opinion.
Trump has an interest in taking down the Cartel of the Suns leader, Maduro and is pitting Latin and South America countries against him. This also stretches Putin resources helping impoverished Venezuela defences at this time.

On further research I'm now of the opinion that ex Honduran president JOH was setup
He extradited many drug kingpins to America. Who in turn were the prosecution witnesses in his trial. Death merchants. No proof provided,he says he was denied any exculpatory evidence.

When JOH term expired and Zelaya's wife got sworn in ,within 3 months he was in a US jail
Zelaya, the husband had been overthrown by a military coup in 2009 for attempting to change the presidential term limit of two terms. JOH was President of congress till he won in 2013 and 2017.
Zelayas are far left socialists who are supported by Maduro.

On Hernandez this is what I could dig up. He was in CIA good books while bragging "stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses".



A 2010 cable from then-U.S. Ambassador Hugo Llorens described Hernández as a "reliable interlocutor" for U.S. interests, including intelligence on Venezuelan ties. This laid the groundwork for his alignment with U.S. agencies.
Upon taking office, Hernández signed a bilateral agreement expanding CIA access to Honduran military bases (e.g., Soto Cano Air Base, a U.S.-CIA hub). Joint operations included CIA drone surveillance for drug interdictions and human intelligence on cartel routes

2015 internal CIA memo (declassified in 2020 via FOIA) praised Hernández as a "key partner" in disrupting Sinaloa Cartel networks, providing him with $10 million+ in non-lethal aid. However, a 2016 Associated Press investigation revealed CIA ignored DEA tips on Hernández's brother Tony receiving Sinaloa bribes, citing "national security priorities.
Amid disputed 2017 re-election protests (which killed 30+), the Trump administration—via CIA Director Mike Pompeo—publicly backed Hernández, calling him an "indispensable ally" against Venezuelan migration. Evidence from Tony Hernández's ( his brother) 2019 U.S. trial included intercepted calls showing JOH sharing radar data with traffickers, but CIA analysts testified (under seal) that such intel was also funneled to them for broader ops. A 2019 State Department cable (leaked to The Intercept) confirmed CIA briefings to Hernández on Cuban/Venezuelan threats, in exchange for his silence on U.S. renditions through Honduras.

Trump finally terminates every order signed by the autopen.


@realDonaldTrump

Any and all Documents, Proclamations, Executive Orders, Memorandums, or Contracts, signed by Order of the now infamous and unauthorized “AUTOPEN,” within the Administration of Joseph R. Biden Jr., are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. Anyone receiving “Pardons,” “Commutations,” or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
12/3/25, 1:52 AM


Pardons now are of no effect.
Can only imagine the number of judges salivating to block this order and delay it until the democrat president.

The Sword cuts both ways If the pardons are upheld .
Since House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has indicated that a future Democratic majority in the House would launch investigations into potential wrongdoing by members of the Trump administration and House Republicans, particularly regarding matters of corruption, specific financial dealings, and actions related to the January 6 Capitol violence. . Then
Trump better sign that preemptive pardon today .

There is more to it than meets the eye.
The witnesses lined up against him. He had extradited them to America , they got lesser sentences for their testimony.
Current leftie president is a Maduro friend, was she the only one who congratulated his 2024 victory? Not sure.
As soon as she was sworn in ,he was arrested and extradited within 3 months on April 22 ,jailed 45 years.
He was friendly with Trump whereas Obama and Joe Biden hated him.Just like they hate the jailed Brazilian president and also don't like Argentina president.

Sounds like they found their fall guy. People who follow and obey Trump without question always end up paying with their lives and/or their careers.

This is exactly why Sen Kelly had to remind service members that they will take the fall if they obey illegal orders.
Veterans and service members know that this is standard, regular training. I hope service members continue to uphold their oath to the constitution and refuse to obey illegal orders.
Senator Kelly has categorically retracted his statement on illegal orders,clarifies Trump hass ssued no illegal orders.
In 2017 the then president elect Trump said " "I think my generals understand that... Even the ones that stayed... would not do that... If I say do it, they’re going to do it."

November 30, 2025, interview on NBC's Meet the Press, Kelly stated:
“Well, so this is looking forward... But let me give you a pass, an outline, of things that he has said. In 2016, he said that the U.S. military will follow his illegal orders."

Translation. No illegal orders. Almost a decade ago Trump had said generals would obey his orders. Sen Kelly is issuing a preemptive opinion .
He was just bullshitting hoping if not already aware some other attack angle will come up.

I’m no lawyer but last time I checked it’s illegal to shoot and kill unverified people under suspicion that they “might be” drug dealers. It’s a stupid thing to do and even stupider thing to defend.
And that's exactly what NYT leaked first . Then reposted by WAPO.
NYT has clarified that it wasn't Hegseth who ordered a second strike Unnamed sabotagers leaking to media in coordination. The orders are to take out and kill the drug smugglers.
Pray your children never do drugs ,you'd be screaming the loudest for every narco boat to be blown up.

Also has she committed incest, marraige fraud, bigamy, taken bribe, kick backs etc? Any evidence or an indictment on all of these claims by your lord and personal saviour and his ilk?
No she is not a terrorist. She ran away from Al Shabaab .
Her surname is Elmi not Omar. The family that brought her over lied she was their daughter.
No incest. She married her brother fraudulently so he could get legal papers. She filed divorce papers after it came to light
Bribes. No idea
Kickbacks. No idea.

Judge Boasberg.

On November 25, 2025, the Senate Judiciary Committee (chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-IA) subpoenaed Boasberg (and U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui, often misreported as "Boardman"wink for testimony on December 10, 2025. The subpoenas stem from Boasberg's 2020 gag order in the FBI's "Arctic Frost" investigation—a surveillance probe into nine Republican senators and 400 conservative groups over alleged ties to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The order barred Verizon from notifying the senators that their phone records (toll and content data) were being seized, which critics argue violated a 2020 congressional funding measure prohibiting such judicial gag orders on legislative communications.
Refusal to Comply: Boasberg formally declined the subpoenas on November 30, 2025, citing "separation of powers" and judicial independence. In a letter to the committee, he argued that compelling federal judges to testify about their rulings would undermine the judiciary's role and invite political interference, potentially violating Article III of the Constitution. He invoked precedents like United States v. Nixon (1974) and judicial norms against "testimonial harassment." Faruqui similarly refused.
Senate Response : Grassley condemned the refusal as "contemptuous," stating it "obstructs Congress's oversight" and could lead to contempt proceedings under 2 U.S.C. § 192 (up to 1 year in prison and $100,000 fine).
On December 1, 2025, House Republicans introduced H. Res. 229 and H. Res. 270, articles of impeachment and removal against Boasberg for "high crimes and misdemeanors" and "failure to remain in good behavior," accusing him of using his position for "political gain" and interfering with executive/legislative functions. These resolutions cite his gag order as part of a broader pattern, including recent rulings blocking Trump administration deportations under the Alien Enemies Act


Arrogant judge won't explain why allowed comm records of senators and House Rep to be released to Jack Smith, Then he issued gag orders to the telcos not to inform the Senate.

Forty-seven federal crimes. Nine newsrooms. One coordinated operation to obstruct justice.
They screamed “prosecutorial misconduct” until a federal judge cited it as fact. But who really obstructed justice in the Letitia James case?


There was a massive coordinated process to throw out James Comey cases with at least 47 media leaks from EDVA and DOJ Carefully synced and with inputs amici briefs from democrats all echoing the same talking points. Judge ruling was significantly based on media leaks .

Yes, Tulsi Gabbard (in her role as the Director of National Intelligence in the current Trump administration) has widely publicized that she is sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding former President Barack Obama and his administration's officials.
She and the White House accuse the Obama administration of a "treasonous conspiracy" involving the "manufacturing and politicization of intelligence" related to Russian interference in the 2016 election to undermine Donald Trump's victory.
Key details of her claims:
The Allegation: Gabbard asserts that Obama and his national security team (including former DNI James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former FBI Director James Comey) knowingly created a false intelligence assessment to suggest that Russia interfered with the 2016 election to help Trump win.
The Referral: She declassified and released over 100 pages of documents, which she claims provide "irrefutable evidence" for a full criminal investigation and prosecution.
Widespread on X: As you noted, she has been actively posting about this on X (formerly Twitter), including a post where she wrote, "We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral

Trump has invalidated every Executive Order that was autopenned.
If investigation show that Biden didn't win 2020,Trump would be within his right to claim a third term. Probably without elections.

Israel needs to understand that it cannot remain in a perpetual state of war. It spends too much on unnecessary wars, many of which are avoidable.

Even worse, it's enemies are even getting stronger. And they don't need to get strong enough to defeat Israel but strong enough to cause considerable damage.

Reach a two state solution. Reach agreements with Syria and Lebanon and you will have the free state that you deserve. Anything other than that is just trouble for Israel.
The war is not about any land israel us occupying.
It's the very existence of Israel as a Jewish ( majority ) state on land that once belonged to Muslims. Once Muslims own land it becomes theirs forever Generation after generation spanning millinea will keep striving to take it back .For example
_Iran has no border with Israel but it keeps the terrorists armed.
_Brunei with $95000 GDP per Capita, 9000 km away from Israel doesn't recognize Israel at all. Atlases in Brunei have no Israel state.
