Second migrant caravan storms into Mexico: ‘Violent’ group from Central America carrying BOMBS and guns defies a huge police presence to cross the border from Guatemala as Trump deploys 5,200 troops. If it looks like an invasion and smells like an invasion it’s an invasion.
Weekly thread 10/24 – 10/31/18. What should President Trump do about the marchers when they hit the border?
Despite the fact that Barack Obama and the region’s leftist dictators supported legally ousted former President Manuel Zelaya, it was expected that the conservative candidate would handily win the election.
Honduras held its long awaited presidential vote on Sunday. It’s estimated that an amazing 70% of eligible voters may have turned out.
Despite the fact that Barack Obama and the region’s leftist dictators supported legally ousted former President Manuel Zelaya, the conservative candidate handily won the election.
Here’s how the Wall Street Journal reports the story:
Neither of the two men claiming to be president during the past five months – Mr. Zelaya and interim President Roberto Micheletti – were on the ballot.
Instead, Hondurans picked between Mr. Lobo of the conservative National Party and Elvin Santos of the Liberal Party – to which both Mr. Zelaya and Mr. Micheletti belong.
Voters were expected to punish the Liberal Party for the crisis and hand power to Mr. Lobo, who was narrowly beat by Mr. Zelaya four years ago.
“It’s going to be Pepe this time,” said Higenio Garcia Ponce, 74, an agricultural laborer who said he had just voted for Mr. Lobo. “There was a rupture in the Liberal Party over what happened with Zelaya.”
We love the words “Voters were expected to punish the liberal party” and predict that they will be repeated here in 2010. And if we’re all lucky, again in 2012.

Lost amid the exciting news that the American economy is roaring back to life and that the Obama administration is creating jobs like nobody’s business is the most important job of all – that of deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.
Lost amid the exciting news that the American economy is roaring back to life and that the Obama administration is creating jobs like nobody’s business is the most important job of all – that of deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.
Under increasing pressure from the Obama administration to violate its own constitution, Zelaya’s opponents have agreed to a U.S.-brokered deal that will return the legally-ousted would-be dictator to power four months after a coup forced him to leave the country.
We can only hope that this job, like most of the other jobs created by Obama’s so-called stimulus, is just a temporary one.
Honduras’ Zelaya claims being subjected to mind-altering gas. Hmmmmm. We’re not doctors, but our advice is simple: Cut back on the burritos, compadre.
