Joe Biden Tries To Justify Hunter Pardon By Peddling Another Round Of Lies

On Sunday, President Joe Biden granted his son Hunter a “full and unconditional pardon.” For someone who’s covered the Biden family corruption scandal since the censorship-industrial complex falsely portrayed Hunter’s laptop from hell as Russian disinformation, my reactions are several and sundry.

1. Joe Biden Is a Lying Liar

First up was imbibing in the hilarity of Joe Biden, once again, proving he lies with as much ease as he has in insulting Republicans.

In June, the president repeatedly vowed not to pardon his son, including during a joint news conference with the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As the time, the elder Biden stated: “I’m not gonna do anything. I said I abide by the jury — decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him.”

President Biden’s “no pardon” position remained firm as recently as last month, when the issue arose during a press conference. “We’ve been asked that question multiple times and our answer stands — which is no,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in early November.

Democrat Senator Blasts Joe Biden’s Pardon of Son

This week, Democrat Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet blasted President Joe Biden for pardoning his son, Hunter Biden.

“President Biden’s decision put personal interest ahead of duty and further erodes Americans’ faith that the justice system is fair and equal for all,” Bennet posted on X.

As Townhall covered, with just weeks left in office, Joe Biden pardoned Hunter Biden, though he initially promised he would not do so.

“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden wrote in a statement. “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.”

IRS Whistleblower: ‘Clear That Joe Biden Was Involved’ in Hunter’s Dealings

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley stated that while he isn’t surprised that President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, the President “lied to the American people about what he was going to do, and, really, it calls into question other things that he may have been untruthful on right now.” And it’s “clear that Joe Biden was involved” in Hunter Biden’s dealings “and it was really selling the access and giving Hunter Biden the opportunity to get these lucrative contracts while providing really no service overseas.”

Shapley said, “I wasn’t surprised at all. This was something that was expected. You can tell by the maneuvering of the defense counsel that this was on the horizon. And the thing that’s surprising is that the President of the United States lied to the American people about what he was going to do, and, really, it calls into question other things that he may have been untruthful on right now.”

Dems Finally Admit to Key Biden Blunder After Election Loss

Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024.

“We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity.

“We utterly mismanaged that issue, including our Democratic caucus here. That’s political malpractice. That’s not someone else’s fault. That’s not the groups pushing us around.”

A source close to New York City Mayor Eric Adams also told The Post that fellow Democrats should have listened to him after he “warned for two years” that a porous border “would overburden cities and alienate working class people — and they did not listen.” (Read more from “Dems Finally Admit to Key Biden Blunder After Election Loss” HERE)

White House Morale Reportedly In Shambles Due To Biden Stiffing Staffers On Photo Ops

Morale around the White House is low as staffers complain they won’t get the traditional parting gift of a photo with the president, according to Politico Playbook.

It is tradition in the Biden White House that staffers, once they decide to leave the administration, get a photo with the president as a thank you for their contribution, Politico Playbook reported. But as the president has cancelled the photos for the last few months, staffers are now concerned they might not get the coveted shot despite recent changes, according to the outlet.

The Office of Management and Administration’s employee engagement team recently notified staff that they would be getting a photo on a rolling basis sometime over the next two months, but no additional guests will be allowed in the shot, according to an email obtained by Politico Playbook. This caveat upset staffers, the outlet reported, because family of staffers have typically been invited and would fly down for the occasion and a few minutes with the president.

“Instead of everyone being annoyed by no departure photos, now it’s only half of the people who are annoyed,” one current administration official told Politico Playbook. (Read more from “White House Morale Reportedly In Shambles Due To Biden Stiffing Staffers On Photo Ops” HERE)

Biden Administration Spent Nearly $400,000 Interviewing Transgender People in India

President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services spent six figures paying Drexel University researchers to interview transgender people in India, according to federal records.

Between March 2021 and February 2024, HHS paid out $389,087 to a team of academics at Drexel to perform “quantitative” interviews with 30 transgender men across Delhi and Mumbai, India’s two largest cities. Additionally, the Biden administration provided the researchers with federal funding to distribute online surveys to 300 transgender men living in those cities. The ultimate goals of the publicly-funded research project were to “inform the development and evaluation of an intervention to promote mental health” for transgender people in India and to “impact rapidly evolving transgender health and social policies in India and beyond.”

Specifically, the study investigated the prevalence of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and suicidality, among transgender people in India. It sought to understand what variables were contributing to the occurrence of those conditions. The framework used by the team of Drexel researchers aimed to “put the gender back into transgender health,” according to the grant’s description.

The researchers argued that their work is necessary because the “transgender community is experiencing major socio-legal changes that may affect mental health” in India. One of the policy recommendations made in the final report produced by the team of researchers was to implement public funding for “gender-affirmative healthcare,” including hormone therapy and sex change surgeries.

HHS has positioned itself as a champion of the transgender community under Biden, adopting a new rule in April requiring physicians and healthcare personnel to provide transgender healthcare to patients, including minors. Critics have argued that the rule doesn’t grant sufficient exceptions for healthcare providers who have religious reasons to refuse to practice transgender medical interventions.

WH Insists Biden-Harris One of the ‘Most Successful Administrations in History’

Just weeks after Vice President Kamala Harris’ overwhelming loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 presidential election, the White House released a memo that hailed the Biden-Harris administration as one of the most successful in history.

The memo shared on Monday highlighted how President Biden and Harris took office during the COVID-19 pandemic and a “reeling” economy, before going on to call their administration “one of the most successful administrations in history” which “will be leaving behind the best economy in the world.”

“Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, 16 million jobs have been created, and we’ve gotten women and people of color back in the labor force at record rates,” the memo stated. “A record 20 million new business applications have been filed, and inflation is down to near pre-pandemic levels.”

The White House added that “our success” in these areas was due to “passing and implementing legislation that rebuilt our nation’s infrastructure, made the largest investment in climate action in history, lowered prescription drug costs, and spurred a manufacturing renaissance.” (Read more from “WH Insists Biden-Harris One of the ‘Most Successful Administrations in History’” HERE)

Guess Who Joe Biden Just Awarded the Highest Civilian Honor To

President Joe Biden, a “devout” Catholic, awarded the highest civilian honor a person can receive to a woman who has the blood of more than four million unborn babies on her hands.

The former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was given the presidential medal of freedom for her “absolute courage” and “fearless[ness],” who Biden says has “carved an inspiring legacy.”

Richards, the daughter of late Democrat Texas governor Ann Richards, spent 12 years working as Planned Parenthood’s chief; during that time, she was caught on an undercover video arranging payments for fetal tissue from aborted babies. However, the clinic has denied allegations that the video is accurate.

After the video was made public, Richards defended her job, claiming, “Our donation programs—like any other high-quality health care providers—follow all laws and ethical guidelines.”

Lawmakers Act as Biden Admin Plans to Let Ukraine off the Hook for Massive Debt to Americans

The Biden administration told Congress it plans to cancel $4.65 billion in debt owed by Ukraine, approximately half of an economic loan offered earlier this year.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed the plans in a briefing on Wednesday. “So we have taken the step that was outlined in the law to cancel those loans, provide that economic assistance to Ukraine,” he said.

In April, Congress passed a supplemental funding package that earmarked $60 billion worth of aid for Ukraine, including $9 billion structured as a loan, with a provision that allowed the administration to forgive it, according to Miller.

Miller added that Congress could pass a resolution of disapproval to overturn the cancellation. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced such a resolution on Wednesday night. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., immediately said he would introduce a resolution to block the measure.

Such a resolution is unlikely to pass a Democratic-controlled Senate, and President Biden could veto it. The supplemental funding package gave the administration the power to forgive 50% of the loan, and the remaining 50% could be forgiven after January 2026.

It’s Joe Biden’s Birthday. Here Are The Worst Moments Of His One-Term Presidency.

President Joe Biden turns 82 today, and to celebrate, we’re looking back at some of the worst moments of his presidency.

This administration has racked up a buffet of scandals ranging from massive failures like the Afghanistan withdrawal to a shocking, politicized hurricane response this fall. . .

With Biden’s one and only term winding down, here are five of his presidency’s worst moments.

The Biden administration completed its disastrous withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in August, 2021, six months after Biden took office.

The botched operation resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members due to a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport, which descended into chaos as terrified civilians tried to escape before the Taliban took over the country. Dozens of American citizens were left stranded in the country, and harrowing video of Afghan civilians clinging to a U.S. Air Force plane taking off went viral on social media.
