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.

‘The View’ Co-Host Calls Biden a Liar — And Whoopi Goldberg Freaks Out

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden and his administration consistently denied that he would pardon his son Hunter, but Biden has now done exactly that.

And of course, liberals are defending his decision to do so.

“I respect it as a parent. I understand why he would do it, but I wanted to understand why [he lied] about it for so long,” Alyssa Farah Griffin said in a segment on “The View.”

“I’d stop calling it a lie,” Whoopi Goldberg shot back, defensive.

“For the part of this country, half of it that doesn’t support Biden, doesn’t know him personally,” Griffin continued, ignoring Goldberg’s comment. “They’re just looking at a system that seems like it only benefits the people who are in power. What precedent does that set?”

Disturbing Claim: Hunter Made Art with His Own Feces to Try to Cover Debts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Monday on Stephen Gardner’s “Taming Wall Street” YouTube show, Breitbart editor-in-chief and “Alex Marlow Show” host Alex Marlow discussed a claim about Hunter Biden’s art.

Gardner said, “I don’t know if you know this story or not, but I guess Hunter Biden was $380,000 behind in rent to hedge fund manager Shaun Maguire. And he kept asking him, you’ve got to pay me, you’ve got to pay me. Um, Hunter Biden paints this painting and says, because of my name and my superior painting and artistic ability, you can sell this and get caught up on the rent that I owe you. Well, the guy receives the painting, and he’s like, this, this painting is terrible. And then he has it analyzed and the painting was painted with Hunter’s own poop, his own fecal matter. Have you heard this story at all?“

The CIA Keeps Popping Up In The Biden-Ukraine Saga

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is linked throughout the Biden-Ukraine entanglements, from Trump’s first impeachment to Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

Back in 2019, the then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella anonymously accused Trump of demanding an investigation into Biden’s alleged corruption in Ukraine in exchange for military aid, according to Real Clear Investigations.

Ciaramella was an adviser to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office when Biden threatened to stop aid to Ukraine unless it fired Viktor Shokin, Real Clear stated. Shokin was the prosecutor investigating the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma Holdings. Hunter joined the board of Burisma in 2014 where he was making $80,000 a month, according to bank records.

While Ciaramella was accusing Trump of using a “quid pro quo,” Hunter’s payments were not as scrutinized in 2019. A transcript of Trump’s call eventually revealed that he did not make a promise to Zelenskyy or threaten to withhold aid to Ukraine.

Ciaramella had conversations with key Biden aides and Ukrainian prosecutors, White House emails and photos released from the National Archives demonstrated. (Read more from “The CIA Keeps Popping Up In The Biden-Ukraine Saga” HERE)

Liar Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter in Bombshell U-Turn; Hunter Biden Responds to Pardon

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Joe Biden made the shock announcement Sunday night that he would issue a presidential pardon for his troubled son Hunter, calling his prosecution ‘selective’ and ‘unfair.’

The bombshell U-turn decision comes just weeks after The White House denied the president would make the drastic move in the final months of his lame duck presidency. Biden, himself, said as recently as June that he would ‘not pardon’ his son.

‘From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ Biden said in a statement.

The president claimed that people are ‘almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form.’

He then added: ‘It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.’ (Read more from “Liar Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter in Bombshell U-Turn” HERE)

Hunter Biden Responds to Pardon: ‘Will Never Take the Clemency’ ‘for Granted’

By Breitbart. Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, issued a statement after he received a full and complete pardon from his father, stating that he would “never take the clemency” he received “for granted.”

In a post on X, Matt Viser, a White House reporter with the Washington Post revealed that the younger Biden had issued a statement that he had “admitted and taken responsibility” for his mistakes “during the darkest days” of his addiction. Hunter Biden added in his statement that he would “devote the life” he had rebuilt to helping others who were “still sick and suffering.”

“I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction – mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport,” Hunter Biden said in his statement. “Despite all of this, I have maintained my sobriety for more than five years because of my deep faith and the unwavering love and support of my family and friends.”

“In the throes of addiction, I squandered many opportunities and advantages,” Hunter Biden continued. “In recovery we can be given the opportunity to make amends where possible and rebuild our lives if we never take for granted the mercy that we have been afforded. I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Responds to Pardon: ‘Will Never Take the Clemency’ ‘For Granted’” HERE)
