WATCH: Biden Has Already Pardoned 1,500 People, but This One Is Jaw-Dropping

Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden still has another four weeks until he leaves office, but he has pardoned or commuted sentences for some 1,500 people. There are sweepstakes for what the total number of will be, but there is one person – not even an American citizen for whom the Democrat’s largesse and clemency might fundamentally change a country.

The move came following the first U.S. diplomatic visit to Syria since 2012. Barbara Leaf, assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, told reporters she had informed Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, whose nom de guerre is Abu Mohammad al-Julani, and who is leader of the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham or HTS group which led Assad’s overthrow, the United States would not pursue a $10 million terrorism bounty on him for his role as the head of a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist group, reported the Jewish News Syndicate.

Seth Frantzman, Adjunct Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, who is a seasoned watcher of things Syrian and covered parts of the civil war on the ground said “once al-Julani took over Damascus and the Assad regime was gone, he was no longer just the head of some militant group. Furthermore, he has made himself very publicly available and he has had meetings with both Turkish and EU diplomats.

To keep the bounty would be impractical and it has outlasted its usefulness. Ultimately, it looks like the U.S. would like to give him and his organization a chance to moderate, and engage with the West. It is an incentive either to him personally or HTS in general to not be what he or they used to be, which is known as an off-shoot of al-Qaida.”

Lt. Col. (res.) Sarit Zehavi, who is the founder and president of the Alma Research and Education Center told WorldNetDaily al-Julani’s rehabilitation as an accepted statesman and de facto Syrian leader was “a bad lesson for terrorists to learn. It shows them that if they want to be seen as legitimate all they have to do is take over a state and suddenly the terrorist designation is canceled.” (Read more from “WATCH: Biden Has Already Pardoned 1,500 People, but This One Is Jaw-Dropping” HERE)

Report: Biden’s Nap Delayed Meeting With Gold Star Families Following Chaotic Afghanistan Withdrawal

With President Joe Biden’s presidency coming to an end in approximately one month, reports keep coming out to confirm what we knew all along, that he was a doddering old man who wasn’t properly dealing with his tasks of the presidency. Afghanistan has come up plenty, as Sarah covered when mentioning that report from The Wall Street Journal, in how the president was too “mentally fatigued” to take a call from Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) about his concerns with the withdrawal, who was then the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Now, a new report from the Daily Mail details how Biden’s nap delayed his meeting with Gold Star families.

Senile Biden’s insult to families of Marines murdered in disastrous Afghan withdrawal,” read the damning headline. According to the piece, the president kept the Gold Star families waiting for three hours while they napped on the tarmac. Biden was meeting with family members of those 13 U.S. servicemembers who were killed when a suicide bomber attacked Abbey Gate in Kabul on August 26, 2021. . .

The Daily Mail report also mentions Biden checking his watch and includes comments from Gold Star family members as well:

While Biden was absent from the withdrawal planning, he did show up to greet the caskets of the US Servicemen and woman who were killed, infamously checking his watch on the tarmac before their coffins were brought out.

It was his second insult to their families that day, according to the sister of Rylee McCollum, one of the men who died.

‘(Biden) made us wait an extra three hours to receive the bodies of our dead family members because he couldn’t pull it together,’ Roice McCollum told DailyMail.com.

Roice said she and others were waiting for Biden to appear when a military officer told her he was napping on his plane.

Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee, and Darin Hoover, the father of Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, who were also killed in the Kabul blast, told DailyMail.com that their families were also left waiting on the tarmac.

‘We sat in that office for what seemed like an eternity waiting on the doddering old fool,’ Hoover recalled.

Joe Biden Met With Hunter’s Business Associates More Times Than With His Cabinet

They say the U.S. presidency is the loneliest job in the world. Maybe the second-loneliest gig is that of Cabinet secretary in President Joe Biden’s administration.

A piece published Thursday in the Wall Street Journal pulls from dozens of sources who say Biden’s inner circle of trusted aides increasingly kept contact with the president at a minimum, including the people he should have depended on most to consult and advise for the good of the nation.

The president who has spent a good chunk of his term out of the office apparently was not all that keen on meetings with his Cabinet secretaries. In fact, Biden may have met more often with his criminal son’s sketchy clients than he has with his administration’s top managers.

Joe Biden was such a political liability that his handlers hid him away during the 2020 presidential campaign. The man campaigned from his Delaware basement through the brunt of the election year. The cloistered strategy wasn’t as much about protecting the feeble geezer from Covid as it was designed to prevent American voters from seeing what a physical and mental mess Biden really was.

Even the Pravda Press, which was openly rooting for — and covering for — the Democrat gaffe machine, was forced to report on Biden’s bunker campaign. (Read more from “Joe Biden Met With Hunter’s Business Associates More Times Than With His Cabinet” HERE)

Report Charges That Bidens Have ‘Knives’ Out for Fellow Democrats

A new report in the Daily Mail charges that its sources are confirming that Jill Biden is pushing Joe to “burn down” as much of his political party as he can.

He leaves office in about four weeks, after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and then watching substitute Kamala Harris crash and burn, losing both the popular vote and the Electoral College vote in landslides. . .

“Tis the season for revenge! For President Joe Biden is spending the remaining weeks of his presidency settling scores,” the report said. “…The president and First Lady Jill Biden have been quietly sharpening the metaphorical carving knives, with their sights set firmly on the one-time allies they perceive as having wronged them.”

“Jill views Democrats on Capitol Hill, the [wider] party, the Obamas, staff inside and outside the White House, the media, and all of Washington D.C., with such misguided resentment that I can’t imagine she [isn’t] encouraging [Joe] to burn the whole thing down, despite his better judgment,” an insider told the publication.

A specific target, the report said, is 50-year friend Nancy Pelosi, over her leadership of the push to get Biden out of the race. (Read more from “Report Charges That Bidens Have ‘Knives’ Out for Fellow Democrats” HERE)

Liars: NYT Admits Biden Was Never Qualified For Second Term After Downplaying Concerns For Years

After months downplaying concerns about President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities, a new report in The New York Times (NYT) finally admitted what many Americans have known for years: Biden was never truly qualified to serve a second term.

A Tuesday report by The Times’ Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs fawned over Biden’s recent trip to Africa. They noted, however, that after a grueling day that included touring a factory, Biden “put his head in his hand and briefly closed his eyes as the speeches droned on.”

It likely wasn’t the speeches’ fault for “droning” on that put Biden to sleep while world leaders looked on. It was because Biden was once again exhibiting signs of physical and cognitive decline that The Times has continually tried to downplay. But this time, The Times couldn’t ignore the facts any longer. The Times admitted it would be “hard to imagine that [Biden] seriously thought he could do the world’s most stressful job for another four years.”

The report goes on to list several examples of Biden’s declining cognitive and physical health, including his frequent mumbling and the need for other leaders to physically help hold him up.

But that wasn’t the tune sung by The Times over the past few months and years. The same paper once went to great lengths to dismiss these signs and even enlisted the help of so-called “experts” to help downplay concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline and physical impairments.

Joe Biden Tells Kamala Harris ‘You’re Not Going Anywhere’ After Loss

President Joe Biden told Kamala Harris she’s “not going anywhere,” as the vice president reportedly mulls over her next move following her November election loss.

At the Democratic National Committee’s holiday reception in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, Biden said: “It’s also been an incredible honor to serve with someone of immense character as she demonstrated throughout her entire career — Kamala Harris.”

“I knew what I was doing when I asked her to be my vice president,” he said. “She always served this country with purpose and integrity, and she always will. And you’re not going anywhere kid — because we’re not going to let you go.”

Harris, who became her party’s presidential nominee after Biden dropped out of the race in July, ran a truncated campaign in under four months and ultimately lost to Donald Trump. It’s unclear what she will do next, but some reports suggest that she is contemplating whether to run for governor of California in 2026 or to try to win the Democratic nomination for president in 2028.

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

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

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.”

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

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.
