(DCNF)—CNN’s Van Jones praised President Donald Trump on Monday for appointing Alice Marie Johnson as his “pardon czar.”
Trump announced Johnson’s selection on Thursday after granting her a full pardon for her during his first term following her spending 22 years in prison for a non-violent drug offense. Jones, on “On Brand with Donny Deutsch,” argued that Johnson’s appointment is a major development, given her firsthand experience with the criminal justice system.

“He put Miss Alice Johnson — the formerly incarcerated black woman who he freed while working with Kim Kardashian — he just put her in charge of pardons. That’s huge,” Jones said. “Somebody who’s actually been incarcerated, been in the federal system, understands how the Department of Justice screws over people who should be coming home — some people who shouldn’t come home, but a lot of people that should come home and they get screwed by the pardon office.”
“She’s going to fix that. As somebody who’s worked on criminal justice … for 30 years, having someone who’s a formerly incarcerated person in charge of going through all these pardons and making sure that people get a fair shot — I think that’s a very good thing,” he continued.
Johnson had been serving a life sentence for her role in a multi-million dollar cocaine trafficking ring in the 1990’s. Trump commuted her sentence in June 2018 at the request of Kardashian, who came to the White House to push for criminal justice reform.
Jones collaborated with the White House during Trump’s first term to pass the “First Step Act” in 2018 which enabled nonviolent criminals to leave prison earlier by way of increased “earned time credits.”
“We’ve got to give Trump credit where credit is due,” Jones said in 2019. “He did fight hard to pass the bill and he made it possible for other Republicans to also be in the pro-criminal justice camp.”
Radio host Charlamagne Tha God told The New York Times in May 2024 that Trump’s signing of the bipartisan act could shift black voter support toward him in the November election.
“There’s people who actually saw family members and people they love actually get out of prison,” Charlamagne said.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
