First Lady Jill Biden may have convinced President Biden to pardon his disgraced son, Hunter Biden, according to a report.
“Clearly there was pressure inside the family,” Jeff Zeleny, CNN’s chief national affairs correspondent, said during an appearance on the network Monday.
“We were told really in recent weeks that Dr. Jill Biden – first lady Jill Biden – was very supportive of the president doing something like this,” he added. (Photo) Zeleny claims Biden, 82, “was not sure” about the pardon, suggesting that the 73-year-old first lady’s push may have been the deciding factor.

They have literally learned nothing. Nothing.
The establishment media are at it again, now openly attacking President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks with salacious and unverified misinformation in an apparent campaign they are waging to try to sink the president-elect’s incoming administration. Meanwhile, the sitting and outgoing President of the United States, Joe Biden, just issued what amounts to one of the most controversial pardons in American history on Sunday evening when he pardoned his son, Hunter Biden. Biden’s complete and unconditional pardon of his son spans more than a decade and is more expansive than Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal.
There's been plenty of chatter in recent months about the sale of U.S. steel by Nippon Steel, Japan's largest steelmaker. While there are conservatives in favor of such a deal, President-elect Donald Trump made clear on Monday night that he is not a fan. In a Truth Social post that evening, he stressed that he is not only opposed, but that he will block such a deal."I am totally against the once great and powerful U.S. Steel being bought by a foreign company, in this case Nippon Steel of Japan," he shared. Trump continued by addressing how he will fix U.S. steel, which includes through tariffs.

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly joked to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau that if tariffs are a threat to collapse his country's economy, then maybe Canada "should become the 51st state." The news comes from Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who spoke with two people who were at the dinner table when Trudeau traveled to Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, to discuss the proposal.
Trump last week announced a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, citing the scourge of illegal immigration and the humanitarian crisis involving the flow of fentanyl into the United States.

I don’t know what Donald Trump would say has been his greatest-ever Thanksgiving holiday, but it’s hard to imagine any quite beating the one he just celebrated.
He’s just pulled off the greatest comeback in American political history.
He survived two assassination attempts. (Photo) He saw off a disgracefully brazen and concerted campaign to politically weaponize the justice system against a US president.
And just when he thought things couldn’t get any better, his former opponent, President Biden, has revealed himself to be a shameful, lying hypocrite by pardoning his criminal son, Hunter.No wonder Trump is looking and behaving like the cat who got the creamiest of cream.

Hunter Biden allegedly stiffed two Venice landlords for a total of more than $380,000 in rent, sources close to the property owners claim.
DailyMail.com revealed last year that Hunter owed Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman $80,000 in back rent after leaving his Venice rental property trashed, according to sources briefed on the dispute.
And now Shaun Maguire, a partner at San Francisco investment giant Sequoia, has come forward claiming Hunter also owes him at least $300,000 after failing to pay rent 'for over a year' in 2019 and 2020.
Generally speaking, there are two approaches to business. The first is to follow the maxim “the customer is always right”, listen to the market and sell things that people want to buy. The alternative, bolder prospectus – followed by Italian waiters and a range of Western companies – is to adopt the idea that the customer is completely wrong and needs to be better educated about coffee and social justice, respectively.
Over the holiday weekend, my husband and I ponied up $5.99 to watch the "Reagan" biopic on Amazon. It was money well spent, and I highly recommend it. The movie spanned many decades and briefly touched upon the fact that American hostages in Iran were freed almost the moment Ronald Reagan took the oath of office on January 20, 1981. Recall that in April of 1980, the Carter administration launched a failed rescue operation to rescue the hostages. "Equipment failure" was blamed after two U.S. aircraft "collided on the ground in a remote desert location in Iran." In the end, there was "no fighting & no combat" but
President Biden's decision to use his presidential powers on Sunday to pardon his own son will be a decision that lives in infamy in presidential politics. It is not just that the president used his constitutional powers to benefit his family. It is because the action culminates years of lying to the public about his knowledge and intentions in the influence-peddling scandal surrounding his family. Even among past controversies about the use of this pardon power, Biden has cemented his legacy for many, not as the commander in chief, but as the liar in chief.

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is demanding the immediate release of Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza, saying that if they are not freed before he is sworn into office for a second term there will be “HELL TO PAY.”
“Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social site.
Donald Trump has to be sitting at Mar-a-Lago right now laughing into his Diet Coke as the Democrat Party and their bumbling leader just keep on racking up the "Ls." Losses for Democrats at this point are political wins for the president-elect, his team, and the Republican Party.
It hasn't always been Trump's practice to stay quiet while his enemies destroy themselves, but he seems to be taking a mostly sit-back-and-wait approach to watching Joe Biden set flame to the rotted wood and sticks that currently make up the Democrat Party. When he feels like it, Trump may take a poker and push around the embers of his enemies,
Christmas came early over the weekend for the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View. They got their wish that President Biden pardon his son for his tax and gun crimes. On Monday’s show, fake Republican Ana Navarro boasted about lobbying Biden for this outcome and called it the greatest gift of all “the gift of freedom,” meanwhile moderator Whoopi Goldberg was lashing out and raging at those who called Biden out for being a liar.
Of course, since they were an ABC News property, they didn’t tell the whole truth that the pardon also covered financial crimes dating back
The U.S. Capitol Police arrested a member of a House Democrat’s staff Thursday morning after he allegedly tried to bring ammunition into the Cannon House Office Building. The office of Rep. Joe Morelle – who represents New York’s 25th Congressional District – told WROC that it is "fully committed to cooperating with the investigation." "At approximately 8:45 a.m., a House staffer entered the Cannon House Office Building and put his bag through screening. USCP officers noticed what appeared to be ammunition on the x-ray screen," Capitol Police told Fox News in a statement.
What little was left of Joe Biden's legacy is in tatters.
Having promised the American people repeatedly, and for months, that he wouldn't do it – well, on Sunday night, President Biden announced that he had pardoned his son Hunter, for crimes committed as well as any future charges.
Future charges! Well, well, well.Hunter, we know, earned millions sitting on boards he wasn't qualified for, introduced shady businessmen to his father, frequented sex workers, and pled guilty to lying about his active drug addiction when purchasing a firearm, as well as tax evasion — owing the IRS $1.4 million, yet spending millions more on drugs, hookers, five-star hotels and a sex-club membership.

Yep, on today's episode of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," our favorite cartoon, co-host Joe Scarborough and his equally fun co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, refused to cover President Joe Biden's sweeping pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, as either of the show's top two stories.The dynamic duo, along with their guests, instead chose to first whine about President-elect Donald Trump's nominations of Kash Patel as incoming FBI Director and Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.
Then, 52 minutes into the show, Scarborough finally "reported" on the pardon, offering zero commentary as the panel discussed the beyond-controversial decision by the lame-duck president.
The more I think about Joe Biden's pardon of his bagman/tax-cheat son, Hunter, the angrier I get — but maybe not for the reason you think.
As I'm sure you're well aware by now, père Biden's blanket pardon forgives all of Hunter's transgressions going back ten years, when father (then vice president) and son were both playing footsie with Vladimir Putin's old cronies in Kyiv. Burisma? Pardoned. Million-dollar tax evasion? Ditto. Gun offenses, all of it.
Then there's the Big Lie because it isn't Joe Biden without one.
They say crime doesn’t pay, and in the case of Hunter Biden, one could certainly say that the criminal doesn’t pay. A man to whom Hunter reportedly owes over $300,000 is not exactly thrilled at Hunter‘s blanket pardon from his senile father.
Despite ample evidence of sexual crimes (including potential sex trafficking and pedophilia), tax evasion, illegal possession of a firearm, and participating in his father‘s illicit foreign influence/money laundering, Hunter Biden has received a pardon from Old Joe, who thereby breaks his promise
Late Sunday night and as one of his final acts, President Joe Biden officially pardoned his son, Hunter Biden. The younger Biden's crimes, which were conducted on behalf of the entire family, were broadly wiped away. In fact, the pardon spans from 2014-2024. For years President Biden publicly claimed he wouldn't pardon his son, a point that was often reiterated by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre. And yet, the deed is done and now Democrats are at each others throats over the move.
WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly claimed Monday that President Biden pardoned his son Hunter because “war politics” prompted Hunter’s prosecution on gun and tax fraud charges — while insisting the Justice Department is not broadly politically biased, as President-elect Donald Trump claims.
Jean-Pierre fielded fiery questions aboard Air Force One from journalists as Biden, 82, flew to Angola for an official visit following the Sunday night pardon.
“The president took an action because of how politically infected these cases were,” Jean-Pierre told incredulous members of the press pool.
Actor James Woods has provided some much-needed perspective following President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter, saying the real issue isn’t drugs or guns, but rather “the money laundering scheme headed by the Big Guy.”
James Woods put the war in Ukraine front and center in an X post late Sunday, focusing on the billions of tax payer dollars the Biden presidency has funneled into the conflict.“The Big Guy” is a reference to the nickname that is widely assumed to be for Joe Biden. The nickname was used in multiple business correspondences involving the Biden family and their mysterious overseas business partners.
President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, is the biggest in generations, Politico admitted on Monday.
Politico, which peddled a false narrative that insinuated Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation, claimed on Monday that it never has “seen a pardon as sweeping as Hunter Biden’s in generations.”Hunter pleaded guilty to federal tax charges in California. Evidence of the tax violations was found on his laptop.The outlet’s Betsy Woodruff Swan compared the pardon to Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon:

Wow! They Hate Kash Patel
replies
Most of Trump's picks for Cabinet positions or vital posts have drawn a lot of Establishment criticism, but none has elicited more sheer panic than the announcement that Kash Patel would be heading the FBI.
While I am not generally of the opinion that criticism from one's enemies is always a sufficient endorsement of a candidate--after all, a choice may be bad even if a leftist says it is--in this case, I am fully confident that Patel has earned his hatred from the left in a truly honest way and that they hate him because they fear he will expose their crimes and misdemeanors.
The Biden Paradox

If you think President Biden is the leader of a crime family and everything he says is a a lie, father pardoning son despite numerous vows he would never do so comes as something other than a surprise. When Joe pardoned Hunter yesterday, however, he prefaced it with a laughable statement. The White House has posted the text of the statement and the pardon here.
Biden actually includes this proposition in the preface: “For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.” The proposition is refuted by the pardon itself. Like the man from Crete who propounded the famous paradox, Biden may as

As the un-American left lays the groundwork for undoing President Trump’s second-term policy goals, one of the areas in which Trump’s enemies expect to have an easy target is trade policy.
Since conservatives believe in free markets (leftists do not), conservatives have generally espoused the idea that taxes are bad. We go farther than that, in our rhetoric, in fact; we often say, “Taxation is theft.”
The left therefore declares, “A tariff is just a tax, and you believe that taxes are bad, so you must oppose it!”
Note that leftists don’t say that they themselves must oppose tariffs. During the four long and painful years of the Biden-Harris regime,
George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley has now weighed in on the sweeping pardon that Joe Biden just gave his son on Sunday. It not only covers the crimes for which he was convicted or to which he pled guilty, but it also covers any other possible crimes that may have occurred over 11 years from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. Turley just eviscerated Biden when he was asked about it by Fox News and the "bad precedent" that Biden could be setting. (X Video) Turley pointed out how this brings to mind the actions of Bill Clinton, who pardoned his brother.
The Deep State is panicking over the news this weekend that President Trump has officially nominated Kash Patel for the role of FBI Director in his next Administration.
Patel boasts an impressive resume. But what worries Deep Staters, Democrats, the media, and RINOs is Kash’s commitment to transparency and protecting the rights of regular Americans.
During an appearance on Meet the Press, Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) schooled the host on why Kash Patel is perfect for reforming the FBI.
Hagerty told NBC’s Kristen Welker, “I’ve encouraged President Trump to bring Kash Patel to the table for precisely this reason.

Critics of Joe Biden's shock pardon of his son Hunter have noted a key detail that connects the reprieve to the younger Biden's time on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
The bombshell U-turn decision to grant Hunter a pardon comes just weeks after The White House denied the president would make the drastic move in the final months of his lame duck presidency.
The document grants a full and unconditional pardon for Hunter's potential crimes committed 'from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.' his has led many to theorize that there is something lurking underneath the pardon which is meant to acquit Hunter Biden
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.”
It's not easy being George Clooney these days.
The realization has finally hit him that Obama, his best friend forever, used him for a patsy in the recent election.
First he had him hold a fundraiser for Joe Biden, where he could clearly see Joe's senilkity, and then he had Clooney write the editorial for the New York Times calling on Democrats to get that guy out of there. Now that the electoral disaster has happened for the Democrats as a result, Obama has left Clooney holding the bag.
The bromance between George Clooney and Barack Obama is reportedly on the rocks, with the Hollywood star said to be “furious” with Obama for setting him up as the “patsy” to end President Joe Biden’s career and then absorb the blowback following Kamala Harris’ election defeat. Another unnamed source said: “George feels duped and vows he’s not going to be anyone’s political water boy anymore.” George Clooney emerged as a major player in the 2024 presidential election cycle when he wrote a New York Times op-ed calling for President Joe Biden to give up his re-election bid following his disastrous debate performance in June.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised President-elect Donald Trump that Canada would toughen controls over the long undefended joint border, a senior Canadian official said on Sunday.
Trudeau flew to Florida on Friday to have dinner with Trump, who has promised to slap tariffs on Canadian imports unless Ottawa prevents migrants and drugs from crossing the frontier.
Canada sends 75% of all goods and services exports to the United States and tariffs would badly hurt the economy. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who sat at the head table with Trudeau and Trump, said the two men discussed additional security measures Canada would be introducing.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that countries in BRICS that try to “replace the mighty U.S. Dollar” would “face 100% Tariffs” and should also be prepared to “say goodbye to selling” in the United States economy. BRICS, which stands for the countries of “Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa,” is described as being “an informal grouping of emerging economies hoping to increase their sway in the global order,” according to the Council on Foreign Relations. The group was established in 2009, with South Africa joining a year later.
Offering to negotiate with Islamic terrorists is a statement of weakness. Jihadists only offer to negotiate out of fear, weakness or to entrap us, and they assume we do the same thing. Nothing would ever convince them that we genuinely want to live in peace with them, or that we prefer alternatives to violence. So any time we offer to negotiate, they see it as weakness or a trick.
If our diplomats ever understood this cultural reality, they would stop being baffled when the negotiations fall apart.
Last night, Donald Trump announced that he was nominating Kash Patel to serve as FBI director. Every person in America who believes in liberty and honest government should be celebrating that announcement.
The Obama and Biden administrations were responsible for so many pernicious policies that it’s a bit hard to keep track. However, one can easily argue that the worst thing that happened during their two presidencies was that they transformed the FBI from a law enforcement agency into the police arm of the Democrat party, which they then weaponized against ordinary Americans who hadn’t broken the law but who had opposed Democrats.
It happened. It was almost as predictable as Saquon Barkley having a monster year for the Philadelphia Eagles: Outgoing President Joe Biden decided to pardon his son, Hunter. The crack-cocaine-addicted influence peddler was given a massive blanket pardon—he is now forgiven of any crime he committed between 2014 and 2024. Two things happened with this pardon: Democrats can’t talk about gun control anymore, and this is a classic example of what happens when one side tries to seize on and monopolize a moral superiority. No American voter expects their leaders or elected officials to be ethical leaders.
One of my favorite verses of Scripture is Isaiah 54:17:
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.” This verse perfectly depicts Trump’s Election 2024 victory.
The Democratic Party, the bureaucratic Deep State of Washington DC (and the liberal enclaves in the Red States), the Trump Derangement Syndrome symptomatic Media, the Iconoclastic Academia, the Fatalistic Department of Justice plus Wall Street, Thug Street, and Fleet Street wanted Trump to fail.
Americans overall have a very favorable response to President-elect Donald Trump’s picks to staff his new administration, but they still appear to be in wait-and-see mode when it comes to some of Trump’s selections to help lead his White House. And it’s very much a political thing, the latest I&I/TIPP shows.
In the latest online national I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Nov. 27 -29, 1,411 adult registered voters were asked the following short question: “Do you approve or disapprove of Donald Trump’s handling of his presidential transition?”
Despite the the irregular and at times bitter 2024 presidential election, a solid majority of 54% said they either “approve strongly” (30%) or “approve somewhat”
America is about to go to war over whether the government has the power to deport entire families of illegal aliens. That question involves “birthright citizenship”—that is, whether a child born in the U.S. to illegal alien parents is automatically a U.S. citizen and, thus, an “anchor baby?”
The answer, by any fair reading of the Constitution and history, is “No.”
Our nation must have complete control of our borders. No illegal alien should be able to circumvent the laws of our nation. English common law, the basis for U.S. law, did not allow such people, the children of “hostile occupiers,” to become citizens by virtue of birth.
We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t.
So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people.
Thus on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” for Robert Hunter Biden, 54.
The pardon Joe vowed he would never give comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax-

A number of Democratic leaders are downplaying the strength of Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris as the inevitable result of an inflation-fueled anti-incumbent backlash that shaped elections worldwide. But others are convinced that the Democratic Party is facing an acute crisis that requires an urgent overhaul of its brand, message and economic policies.

As we reported, President Joe Biden pardoned First Son Hunter Sunday night and basically absolved him of all crimes committed between “January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024,” in effect letting him not only get off scot-free for the gun charges he was convicted of and the tax evasion charges he pleaded guilty to but any shady international deals he allegedly illicitly profited from with China and Ukrainian gas giant Burisma.The move came after Hunter’s lawyers released a 52-page public statement Sunday that read like a “Dear Dad, please help me out, I screwed up” letter.
Now, President-elect Donald Trump is weighing in, and he’s not impressed.
After President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory, the mainstream media have turned their attention to trying to take down his cabinet picks, recently focusing their sights on Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.
Breitbart News has learned the New Yorker is preparing to publish a massive hit piece on Hegseth, using decade-old allegations made by a jealous former coworker that is now being recirculated to media as he prepares for Senate confirmation.The allegations are from 2014, and were made by a former female associate who was fired from an organization she worked at with Hegseth, the conservative veterans-advocacy group Concerned Veterans for America (CVA).
Hunter Biden struck a note of contrition and promised to help those 'sick and suffering' in a statement after his father Joe gave him a presidential pardon.
The elder Biden made the shock announcement Sunday night that he would issue a presidential pardon for his troubled son, calling his prosecution 'selective' and 'unfair.'
Hunter released a statement of his own - in which he does not directly mention his father - after the decision came down, credited to his full name, 'Robert Hunter Biden.'
Neocon warmonger John Bolton had strong words for President Trump’s excellent pick of Kash Patel to head the FBI.

“I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning.

Yes, ten years. Absolute insanity. That means anything else that pops up in that time period doesn’t count. Hunter cannot face any charges. Hunter pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was going to face sentencing on December 16 for lying on a federal form by saying he was not using drugs or addicted to drugs when trying to buy a gun.

Of all the nominations made by incoming President Donald Trump, few are more important than naming Kash Patel to lead the FBI. The bureau has become a den of corruption focused on protecting itself and the Democratic Party. From targeting parents at school board meetings to raiding Mar-a-Lago, an overhaul is needed, and accountability must be brought to those who weaponized the agency.
Patel, who is more than qualified for the position, is just the man to accomplish that. He was instrumental in uncovering the Russian collusion hoax and will not pull any punches to "protect the shield." Naturally, that's making all the right people upset.
Why won’t this man just go away?

President Joe Biden departed the United States for Angola on Sunday night, fulfilling his promise to visit the African continent before his term ends in January.
Biden boarded Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after 10 p.m. EST Sunday. He is scheduled to arrive in Sal, Cabo Verde, Monday morning for a brief refueling stop and a 9 a.m. local time meeting with Prime Minister Ulisses Correia e Silva of Cabo Verde.

President Joe Biden spent his final days in office rolling out a full and complete pardon of his criminal son, Hunter Biden.
“I will not pardon him,” Joe Biden said in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.
NBC News reported on the pardon:
The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. [snip] after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.
