There are very evil people walking in plain sight in order to camouflage themselves on a daily basis. Some where suits, some where dresses. The Demented Fuhrer doesn't remember what he said, yesterday. Teleprompters, index cards, handlers, etc. In addition, the Demented Fuhrer has his family.

My top 3 President liars in my lifetime: #3. Obama. He lied on some major issues and used smooth talk and his race to quell a lot of discussion of his lies. Most of the time he was out golfing or enjoying the goodies of the job while secretly doing bad things for the country. #2. Biden. He is a pathological liar who is not very good at it. He lies about everything and when he says I’m speaking the God,s honest truth, you know he is telling a whopper. He could easily be #1 but I cut him a little slack since he is also demented. If not for politics he would have tried to be an organized crime boss. #1. Clinton. Hands down the smoothest liar ever who really started the trend of lying to the American people as an everyday occurrence. He occasionally let the truth come out as a way to always keep you guessing if he was lying. He would have made a great snake oil salesman in the 1800s.

11 years? That's a lot of time to CYA. But then again FHB and FJB were working the Big Guy kickback checks over many, many years. We knew this would happen. Pardoning FHB before his sentencing allows him to say he was never convicted. You can only be a felon after the sentencing. But then again FHB was the real victim, wink, wink.

Now the entire world knows the Bidens are crooks. He will go down in history as the most corrupt President in the US. He is bringing down the Obama's and the Clintons with him since we know they supported him knowing what he was. I just hate the fact that Biden will still get his pensions and SS and Secret Service all paid for by the hard working people of America and Hunter will get to keep the millions he stole from other countries.

Not surprised about the Pardon. But, was wrong on the timing. Christmas Eve or his last hour in office were my choices. So now President Trump has been convicted of a 37 felonies by a New Yark Kangaroo court and Quid Pro Joe and Snorter skate free. What a country.

I really don't care about Hunter, he only was able to do what he did because his dad was a US Senator/VP who was into peddling influence, so Joe is the real criminal here, Hunter was just a bag boy with nasty personal habits. But a 10 year blanket pardon (!) covers what was going on with Burisma and China, so it confirms that Biden was indeed selling influence, and this is really a self pardon. The next time I hear someone call Trump a criminal I will shove this in their face and accuse them of stupidity or blind indifference-just what the Democrats always rely on.

In response to Biden's pardon, Congress should 1: prosecute Joe, for Burisma and other crimes he committed while VP, to the fullest extent of the law. 2. change the darn rules so that a POTUS cannot pardon a family member.

US Constitution: Article II,Section 2, Clause 1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." So, re: suggestions to limit the pardon power......it'll take a Constitutional Amendment. Might be possible after the stink that Joe put out, but I doubt it. Constitutional Amendments were given a very high difficulty level for a good reason.

Is Trump About to Pull off an Iran Hostage Moment? 4 replies

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

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 was the summer of 2019 and President Trump was about to embark on a state visit to the tiny Nordic country of Denmark. Both parties were readying themselves for bilateral talks, but that was before President Trump floated one of his famous spontaneous trial balloons. Trump said that he had had a conversation with the Danish prime minister, stating that the U.S. might be interested in purchasing the island of Greenland. He said that the concept came up and he said that he would be interested in the purchase from a strategic point of view.

The trans madness continues, as biological males continue to smash glass ceilings and female faces in women's sports. This past Monday, a Marxist activist in a black robe decreed that neither civil rights nor biological science factor into his reasoning process, and that biological male Brayden Fleming has every right to continue playing for the San Jose Spartans girls volleyball team. Brayden goes by his stage name Blaire, but I'll be referring to him as Brayden. Without a hint of irony, judge Kato Crews opined that the delay caused by the filed injunction "would risk confusion."

Have you noticed how, especially since the election, people on the left are trying to rewrite history and claim they knew Joe Biden was unfit for office—or at least, not well enough to seek a second term? It’s a fascinating phenomenon, and it tells us everything that is wrong with left. The most recent one that I came across came from David Hogg, who just confessed to having a private meeting with Joe Biden last year. Why is this kid getting private meetings with the sitting president of the United States? I can’t explain it. But, what I really wanted to point to is that the X post

Many of Fleming's past competitors had to settle for losses along the way. Fleming is the leader in kills for a San Jose State team that will compete in the Mountain West tournament final Saturday against Colorado State. The athlete's spiking ability has been a competitive asset and a point of outrage by critics, including President-elect Trump, amid the controversy over Fleming competing against women as a transgender athlete.

Bill Clinton already wrote and sold his memoir, the imaginatively named, My Life, written and published back in 2005, but like his wife, one memoir is never enough and so Bill has another one, Citizen, that chronicles all the exciting stuff he’s been up to for the last two decades. Hillary Clinton is on her fourth memoir (believe it or not) and Bill needs to pull his weight here. The trouble is that while Bill’s memoir 1.0 was at least justified because he was the president of the United States, he hasn’t done anything since then, unlike Hillary, who really didn’t do much, but at least is out there

In January 1933 the Oxford Union voted 275-153 to approve the motion: “That this House refuses in any circumstances to fight for King and Country.” The proposition became known as the Oxford oath. Winston Churchill was not amused. While others counseled that it be dismissed as youthful folly, he declined to ignore the proceedings at Oxford. Rather, he declared it “a very disquieting and disgusting symptom” and proceeded to explain why it troubled him (as Martin Gilbert puts it in the fifth volume of his Churchill biography, The Prophet of Truth, 1922-1939): "My mind turns across the narrow waters of [the] Channel and the North Sea, where great nations

The International Criminal Court (ICC), as encouraged by prosecutor Karim Khan, propagated the blood libel that Israel is attacking Palestinian civilians. Khan knows or should know that Israel has not only refrained from targeting civilians, but has taken extraordinary measures to the extent of putting its own soldiers at risk to avoid harming them. We also need to ask why South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice to prosecute Israel for genocide, another blood libel from a backward Third World country with its own long litany of human rights violations including the racist murder of Amy Biehl and the necklacing of Winnie Mandela's political opponents.

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter despite the White House saying over and over he would not do it. The pardon includes charges Hunter faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024. 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.

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.

While Musk will serve in an unofficial capacity focused on slashing government waste and therefore will not need Senate approval, those that will are set to break records. The previous mark was unsurprisingly set by Trump in 2016 when his first cabinet boasted a combined net worth of $6 billion.

Now that the electoral disaster has happened for the Democrats as a result, Obama has left Clooney holding the bag.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is kissing up to President-elect Donald Trump, trying to worm his way into the MAGA sphere and pretend he is enthusiastic for reform. But as a victim of devastating Facebook censorship warned, Zuckerberg is not to be trusted, especially since he has yet to apologize to and restore the data for multiple users whose lives were transformed by online censorship. When Zuckerberg issued a semi-apologetic letter and made a phone call to Trump over the summer, many conservatives, and Donald Trump himself, were delighted. Since then, Facebook censorship — including election-interfering censorship — continued unabated. Like many a careful businessman before him

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.

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.

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-
