Biden Claims His Campaign Was ‘Basically Scandal Free’ And People Have Thoughts

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden claimed on Sunday that he had run a campaign free from scandal and critics were quick to point out the errors in that particular statement.

“We’ve run a campaign that’s basically scandal free. That’s hard to do in American politics these days,” Biden said.

Biden made the comments during the Democratic National Committee’s holiday reception in Washington, D.C. — where he also weighed in on the possible political future of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Trump War Room’s Jacob Schneider posted a brief clip from the event along with a caption that read, “BIDEN: ‘We’ve run a campaign that’s basically scandal free. That’s hard to do in American politics.’ (Except covering up his obvious cognitive decline, peddling his family’s influence, hiding classified documents, etc etc etc).”

Critics pushed back on Biden’s claim, laying out a few details that they thought he must have missed when making his assessment.

Biden Quietly Commuted Sentences of Chinese Spies

/19 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he was granting 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations in what his administation called the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.” But it’s not Thursday’s set of commutations that have caught the attention of concerned Americans — it’s those that were quietly given weeks ago to Chinese spies.

X user Nick Sortor posted that “Joe Biden just pardoned multiple Chinese spies and an individual convicted of possessing child p*rnography. WHY?”

But the thing is, Biden didn’t “just” commute the sentences for these criminals — he did it quietly only days before Thanksgiving.

While most Americans were finalizing their menus and getting into the holiday spirit, Biden commuted the sentence of Yanjun Xu on November 22. Xu was convicted in 2022 for “conspiracy to commit economic espionage; conspiracy to commit trade secret theft; attempted economic espionage by theft or fraud; attempted theft of trade secrets by taking or deception.”

But according to Biden’s pardon, “it is in the national interest that the term of imprisonment related to the aforesaid conviction not be served in its entirety.” (Read more from “Biden Quietly Commuted Sentences of Chinese Spies” HERE)

“Hello! How are you? Hi! Happy Holidays,” the 73-year-old first lady told children attending the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign at the White House.

Her well-wishes to the kids of military service members were met with multiple shouts of “Happy Christmas!”

The first lady, who couldn’t help but laugh at the way the children received her seasonal salutation, responded, “Happy Christmas, yes.”

Video of Biden being corrected quickly went viral on social media, with the majority of people praising the reaction of the youngsters.

Biden Commutes Sentence of Woman Who Conspired to Manufacture, Distribute Fentanyl

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden commuted the sentence of a woman who was sentenced to 15 years in prison over conspiring to manufacture and distribute an altered and more potent version of fentanyl.

A White House press release on Thursday revealed that Biden is pardoning 39 people and commuting the sentences of 1,499 people. Among the list of people who had their sentences commuted was Wendy Hechtman.

A press release from the United States Attorney’s Office District of Nebraska from November 2017 revealed that Hechtman and her husband, Ken, along with two other people, were charged “in a three count indictment.”

“Kenneth and Wendy are charged in Count I with conspiracy to manufacture 10 grams or more of Fentanyl Analogue between on or about March 2017 and October 30, 2017,” the press release says.

The Hechtmans were also “charged in Count II with conspiracy to distribute Fentanyl Analogue between on or about March 2017 and October 30, 2017” and were “charged in Count III with possession with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of Fentanyl Analogue on or about October 30, 2017,” according to the press release.

Biden Grants Record 39 Presidential Pardons and Commutes 1,500 Sentences

/1 Comment/in , /by

The days are counting down until U.S. President Joe Biden exits the White House but before he goes the octogenarian is doing some judicial housekeeping.

On Thursday he issues presidential pardons to 39 Americans convicted of non-violent crimes while commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 other people in the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.

The White House has not given the names of the people involved in the mass commutations, AP reports.

The U.S. Constitution decrees a president has the broad “power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.”

Earlier this month, Biden issued a controversial pardon to his son Hunter, as Breitbart News reported. (Read more from “Biden Grants Record 39 Presidential Pardons and Commutes 1,500 Sentences” HERE)

U.S. Senators Who Left Democratic Party Stick It to Biden Before They Go

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats lost retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, now an independent of Arizona, and Sen. Joe Manchin, now an independent from West Virginia, from their party ranks some time ago.

The result was that party members lost no opportunity to trash them, their accomplishments, and their ideas.

Now, those two have responded with a parting gift to Joe Biden, who leaves office in a few weeks: A move to torpedo his choice for a spot on the National Labor Relations Board.

It is the Washington Examiner that notes up for a vote was Lauren McFerran, an activist who likely would have left the NLRB under Democrat control for years to come.

The report said, “McFerran’s term expires Monday. Her reinstalment would’ve secured a Democratic NLRB majority on the five-person panel tasked with protecting organized union labor until at least August 2026, at which point Trump could have replaced another expiring Democrat with a Republican. The NLRB’s current makeup is three Democrats, one Republican, and one absent Republican seat. The agency may not have more than a 3-2 partisan majority for either party. Each seat’s term runs five years, regardless of when members are seated.” (Read more from “U.S. Senators Who Left Democratic Party Stick It to Biden Before They Go” HERE)

Biden Gave Iran $10 Billion in Sanctions Relief Days After Trump Won Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

The outgoing Biden-Harris administration gave Iran $10 billion in sanctions relief just days after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, despite Iran’s ongoing attacks against Israel and support for terrorist organizations.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined on November 8 that “it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring upward of $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.

…

Though the first Trump administration did green-light the same waiver—causing tension with some congressional Republicans—it narrowly tailored the waiver to restrict Iranian access to the cash. The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman. Access to a widely traded currency like the euro enables Iran to more easily spend the cash in international markets. Under the first Trump administration, Iran had to keep the cash in an escrow account in Baghdad, making it more difficult to access.

…

The Biden State Department maintains that Iran is only permitted to use the funds for humanitarian needs, including medicines and other supplies. Republican critics argue that money is fungible, meaning that Tehran will have an easier time diverting its dwindling cash reserves to its regional terror proxies, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, should it have access to the sanctioned cash for other purposes.

The sanctions waiver also came just days after the United Nations determined that Iran was able to give the Houthi rebels in Yemen “unprecedented” support after the Biden administration waived $6 billion in sanctions on Iran.

Watch Joe and Jill Biden Snub Kamala as They Enter Kennedy Center

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Joe and Jill Biden not only refused to acknowledge Kamala Harris as they entered the Kennedy Center to a standing ovation, they refused to even look at her or her husband, Doug “The Nanny Buster” Emhoff.

This video is really something:

Kamala and her husband stand, turn, heartily applaud, and then look directly at Joe and Jill waiting for a smile, a wave, maybe even a pat on the shoulder. Instead, President and Mrs. Lame Duck make an obvious point to avoid eye contact and look the other way. Jill hilariously does a 90-degree turn so quickly you’d think Kamala had leprosy.

There is just no question Jill intended for the world to see that epic snub.

Tommy Tuberville Shares What We’re All Wondering About the Hunter Biden Pardon

/3 Comments/in , /by

It’s been a week since President Joe Biden announced he was pardoning his son, Hunter, after he and White House Press Secretary Karine-Jean Pierre had already claimed multiple times he would do no such thing. The reaction has been strong and swift, with Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) among those weighing in. He’s also raised some key points as to how this goes deeper than Hunter Biden, as he did while on “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakick” on OutKick.com last week.

As OutKick so aptly put it, Tuberville very much “Took A BLOWTORCH To The Biden Family.” The pardon for Hunter isn’t merely noteworthy when it comes to the first son’s crimes and convictions, but the timeframe. The pardon dates back to nearly 11 years, when Joe Biden was actually in office as the vice president.

In speaking with Dakick, Tuberville repeated what he had said earlier that week to a gaggle of press, which is that “that’s his son, most parents would do that.” It goes deeper than that, though, as Tuberville lambasted the corruption involved.

“Number one, it’s the most corrupt political family, even more than the Clintons, that’s been in politics all their life. They have taken millions of dollars from Ukraine, from China. It’s a known fact. The money has gone into the banks, millions of dollars to grandkids, the kids, to Biden himself. They made a fortune off this country, off the American taxpayers. They haven’t paid taxes on it. The kid is a drug addict. He’ll never get off crack. He can’t get off of it. He’s got huge problems,” Tuberville shared, speaking about the Biden family as a whole and specifically about Hunter.

Trump-Proofing: Biden Officials Strike Deals, Spend Taxpayer Money Before Trump Can Stop It

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Biden’s breathtakingly broad pardon of his son’s criminal behavior is just one step the administration is taking to block potential action from the future president — what analysts call an attempt to “Trump-proof” government.

Mr. Biden’s allies in various departments are rushing to push cash out the door and lock in policies they think President-elect Donald Trump will not favor.

In an undercover video by Project Veritas, one Environmental Protection Agency figure said the agency had been funneling billions of dollars to climate change organizations “as fast as possible.”

“It truly feels like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” said the person, identified in the video as EPA special adviser Brant Efron.

A similar effort to shovel money out the door is underway at the Commerce Department. Politico, a news organization in Washington, said Secretary Gina Raimondo wants to “leave no cash for Trump” from a $50 billion microchip subsidy program.
