I was planning to include a stop in London to visit gun stores and makers next year. While heading to Italy. I think I will leave that nation off my travel list until the businesses and citizens take their country back.

My little protest. I can’t justify one dollar going to fund that government. Even though I just bought a painting from Rigby. I will try to refrain in the future.

While I fully sympathise with this line of thinking, there are unfortunately very few top gun making houses outside of Europe. And what you see and hear about the UK, is not waiting for long in the rest of the continent.

Rather perhaps only invest into, purchase products and services from, those companies in Europe that are not aligned with the woke, green and socialist totalitarianism.

I completely agree that my piss ant protest won’t do a thing. But eventually businesses and citizens need to take action and not look the other way. Keeping their heads down.

And to be honest. We are quickly turning to a surveillance state in the U.S. also. And no one political party is to blame. They both are complicit.

Who knows. By then I could change my mind. I wanted to visit the Isle of Man also.

Countries like the U.K that will send the social media police to your front door if you say the wrong thing on social media.
I feel that more countries will trend in that direction of authoritarianism.
The U.S.A is certainly going down that path if Democrat ever obtain long term control.

All the anti Trumpers can bitch and complain all they want.
Like him or not, just remember, right now he is the firewall that is keeping us from going down the path that the U.K is taking.

What could go wrong with this........

A question and I hope it comes across as sincere, because it is.

If President Trump is so against narco-traffickers (as we all should be), what is the rationale for pardoning the former president of Honduras, who is serving a legitimate and much deserved sentence in a US jail?

Good question. I certainly don’t have the answer.

Trump has done seemingly strange things like this before. ie: Rod Blagojevich, who probably was considering doing a crime but didn’t prior to indictment and conviction.

With the lawfare against Trump he is probably empathetic regarding what he might consider unjust prosecutions. Does Trump have evidence that Hernandez was working with America in a Nicaraguan Contra type situation and feeling he shouldn’t be imprisoned for those actions. Who knows.

Did Trump have a good idea of what would happen in the Honduras election yesterday with the military stepping in. Probably so. Was Hernandez pardon a play to keep stability in the country. Possibly but again I don’t know.

I am not found of a narco trafficker being released from prison but am also confident Trump has more details of what is going on than I do regarding the pardon.

Of one thing that I think the current administration can honestly claim a significant qualitative leap over the previous is with regard to the taste exhibited by the respective First Ladies.

Below are Jill Biden and Melania's respective Christmas videos showing off their White House Christmas decorating efforts.

Every time I see this ad I cringe. It’s so self aggrandizing and throws non segueing shout outs to Trump to some how justify the purpose of the video. And portions of it show a huge blind spot on the Ad topic and the land she is sitting on.

It’s almost like somebody said. “hey this ad is all about you. Maybe we better throw the boss in so he doesn’t get mad.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts

The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for the taxpayer-funded campaign.

He can definitely redo Executive orders etc. by issuing his own that reverses them as he has done in the past. I doubt he can undo pardons legally. Not to mention any laws that were signed via the autopen if there were any.

Wholesale you are correct. Those autopens will be case specific.
