Hello folks and Merry Christmas. I don't know what day this will be going out, but I hope you're having a very jolly time at the merriest time of the year.

And I thought to cap off a year where many people have been frustrated and annoyed at me for being critical of many of Trump's decisions in his second term as president.

I thought I'd cap it all off by being, again, very critical of Donald Trump because Donald Trump you know

he's a guy he says he's a Christian he says that he believes in Judeo-Christian

values whatever those are and he decided to get the holiday season started

early by giving the ex-president of Honduras a very welcome surprise present, and that is a pardon

from the 45-year prison sentence that he had been given by a federal U.S. court.

And let's introduce you to this story, because this is one that kind of may have

flown under the radar for a lot of people. I don't think at the time at the beginning of

December when this happened, we actually covered it. So it needs a little bit of context for anybody

unaware. And let me introduce you on that to the former president, Juan Orlando Hernandez, once touted as the, by the U.S.

authorities as a key ally in the war on drugs, because of course many of those Central

American states are hotbeds for drug activities and trafficking from drug countries to the US.

They're often used to ferry these drugs from one place to another so that they can get to your

local neighborhood or if it's cocaine or crack and things like that, most likely the ghetto as well.

But federal prosecutors changed their tune and said that the political leader ran his

Central American nation as a narco state, collecting millions of dollars from violent cartels

to fuel his rise to power. So that is quite a switchover from one to the other. So this guy was

supposedly helping U.S. authorities in preventing drugs from coming to the US,

but upon further investigation, it seems that he was actually at the head, or certainly a massive

middleman involved in one of these operations. And the question becomes, why the sudden change,

what was there something to do with Perhaps he wasn't useful to these people
