Trump Slams Biden’s Family Pardons:
‘Makes Him Look Very Guilty’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/21/2025 1:00:41 AM
Soon after Trump won the 2024 election, Joe Biden started going on a clemency blitz, granting a full and unconditional pardon for his son Hunter, and then issuing blanket pardons for thousands of other criminals, commuting the death sentences of death row inmates, and then, on his last day in office, issuing preemptive pardons to his political allies and then -- finally, with mere minutes left in his presidency -- members of his family. Biden issued a “full and unconditional pardon” to his brother, James B. Biden, his sister-in-law, Sara Jones Biden, his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and her husband, John T. Owens.

Soon after Trump won the 2024 election, Joe Biden started going on a clemency blitz, granting a full and unconditional pardon for his son Hunter, and then issuing blanket pardons for thousands of other criminals, commuting the death sentences of death row inmates, and then, on his last day in office, issuing preemptive pardons to his political allies and then -- finally, with mere minutes left in his presidency -- members of his family.
Biden issued a “full and unconditional pardon” to his brother, James B. Biden, his sister-in-law, Sara Jones Biden, his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and her husband, John T. Owens.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) late Monday launched a suit challenging an executive order from President Trump seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are not lawfully present.
It’s an order that contradicts the Constitution, which bestows citizenship on anyone born in the United State regardless of the status of their parents. “Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional — it’s also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values. Birthright citizenship is part of what makes the United States the strong and dynamic nation that it is.
On his first day in office, President Donald Trump reinstated Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, reversing an executive order issued by former President Joe Biden just last week.
Biden had announced plans to lift the designation as part of a Vatican-brokered deal to free political prisoners in Cuba.
Following the announcement, Cuban authorities began releasing detainees, including some arrested during the 2021 protests over economic hardships and government policies.
President Donald Trump wielded his newfound executive authority to declare a national emergency over the crisis at the Southern Border just hours after being sworn in, immediately reversing the lenient Biden-era policies that allowed record numbers of illegal immigrants to enter the country.
Trump began the process of signing an expected 200 day-one executive orders in front of tens of thousands of supporters at the Capital One Arena Monday evening, making good on his inaugural address promise to “completely reverse” the “horrible betrayal” of the Biden years.
Donald Trump began signing a slew of executive orders soon after taking the oath as president Monday, looking to quickly implement his agenda, with his plans including declaring a national emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border, ordering construction on his border wall to resume, and terminating diversity programs in federal agencies.
The first order he signed before a crowd at the Capital One Arena revoked approximately 80 executive actions that had been signed by former President Joe Biden. He also signed a freeze on new regulations, as well as a hiring freeze on federal workers. And Trump also withdrew — again — from the Paris climate treaty.
The Senate voted on Monday to confirm Marco Rubio as President Donald Trump’s secretary of state, the first high-level Cabinet official for the new administration to be approved by the chamber.
The confirmation vote took place just hours after Trump was sworn in as president. The overwhelmingly bipartisan vote was 99 to 0 with no senators voting against the nomination.
Rubio has served as a Republican senator from Florida since 2011, and his nomination drew strong support from a number of Senate Democrats, who called their colleague highly qualified for the role.
Former President Joe Biden’s pardon of five family members before leaving office “confirms the deep corruption” during the past four years, says Peter Schweizer, the president of the Government Accountability Institute and Breitbart Senior Contributor.
Receiving clemency raises questions about potential wrongdoing, Schweizer suggested in his immediate reaction to the outgoing president’s announcement.
The family members pardoned include: James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden. “This pardon is an utter disgrace. A singular act that confirms the deep corruption he has denied for years. We have never had such a self-serving and corrupt president in our history,”

WASHINGTON – Paul Abbate, who became the FBI's acting director following the departure of Christopher Wray, is retiring from the bureau, according to an email he sent to senior executives that was obtained by The Associated Press on Monday.
Abbate had been expected to run the FBI while Senate confirmation proceedings get underway for Kash Patel, who is President Donald Trump's pick for director. But with Abbate's retirement effective Monday, when Trump took office, it was not immediately clear who would fill that role.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump, who overcame impeachments, criminal indictments and a pair of assassination attempts to win another term in the White House, was sworn in as the 47th president Monday, taking charge as Republicans assume unified control of Washington and set out to reshape the country’s institutions.
Trump will act swiftly after the ceremony, with executive orders already prepared for his signature to clamp down on border crossings, increase fossil fuel development and end diversity and inclusion programs across the federal government.
He plans to declare the beginning of “a thrilling new era of national success”
Here we are, more or less midway through the confirmation hearings for Donald Trump’s key nominations. Among those we’ve heard from are Pete Hegseth (nominated to be Secretary of Defense), Pamela Bondi (Attorney General), Marco Rubio (State), Scott Bessent (Treasury), Doug Burgum (Interior), Lee Zeldin (EPA), John Ratcliffe (CIA), and Kristi Noem (Homeland Security). Among the most notable still to come are Kash Patel (FBI), RFK Jr. (Health Human Services), and Tulsi Gabbard (National Intelligence).
I have listened to longish bits of several of the hearings. I think there are two main takeaways from the festivities.
One is the coordinated, ideologically fired attack-dog tactics of the Democrats.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will call for a "revolution of common sense" during his inaugural address, the Wall Street Journal said on Monday citing excerpts of his prepared remarks.
"I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country. My message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and the vitality of history's greatest civilization," Trump is expected to say, according to remarks shared with the WSJ. Trump will be sworn in as the U.S. president on Monday,
President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that he will visit southern California on Friday to see the area ravaged by historic wildfires, in what will likely mark his first trip upon returning to the White House.
“I’m going to go out there on Friday to see it and to get it moving back,” Trump said. “We’re going to get some of the best builders in the world. We’ll get it moving back.”
Trump’s comments came ahead of Monday’s inauguration during his Washington rally at Capital One arena — less than 24 hours before he’ll be sworn in as president. California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom

President Biden granted pardons to several prominent public servants Monday who have faced attacks from President-elect Trump in one of his final acts in office. Biden issued pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who led the nation’s COVID-19 pandemic response, and retired Gen. Mark Milley, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The president also pardoned members and staff of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack in addition to the U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.
As we all knew would happen, Biden’s last act was to pardon every bad actor in his administration. This is hypocritical, to say the least, given his government’s vindictive pursuit of everyone in the Trump administration, including Trump himself. However, even worse than that, it sets a dangerous precedent that can destroy the American Constitution—and no, I’m not exaggerating.
So, here’s the top line from Fox News:
"President Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and others who some speculated may have faced investigations under the incoming Trump administration on Monday.

President Joe Biden pardoned his brother James Biden and other relatives Monday for unspecified crimes, a similar last-minute move to protect his family from potential investigation as when he pardoned his son Hunter Biden for gun and tax convictions.
The president said he pardoned his brother and other relatives − his sister Sara Jones Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband John Owens, and another brother, Francis Biden − because of concerns about "baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families," he said in a statement released minutes before the end of his term.
Literally minutes before he leaves office, Joe Biden just issued blanket pardons for his closest family. Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, the departing executive just pardoned his brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.
The Biden family crime syndicate, those who engaged in the benefit of Joe Biden selling the influence of his office for financial gain, are attempting to preemptively pardon themselves from any investigation or prosecution of their criminal conduct.(snip)Recent legal debate has surrounded the issue of a prosecutor who may bring an indictment against a person after they have been issued a pardon.
Carrie Underwood honored the new president with a rare political performance. On Monday, Jan. 20, Underwood, 41, performed "America the Beautiful"inside the Capitol rotunda in Washington, D.C. during President Donald Trump's inauguration, which was moved indoors due to freezing conditions. After facing technical difficulties that delayed her performance, Underwood took the platform to sing a cappella, asking attendees to join her, saying, "You know the words."[snip] After finishing the tune, the country singer shook hands with President Trump and newly sworn-in Vice President JD Vance before exiting the stage.
Cecile Richards, a women's rights activist and former president of Planned Parenthood, has died at 67, her family said. “This morning our beloved Cecile passed away at home, surrounded by her family and her ever-loyal dog, Ollie. Our hearts are broken today but no words can do justice to the joy she brought to our lives,” her family said in a statement shared Monday with NBC News. (Snip) Richards, the daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, previously served as deputy chief of staff to Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California.

Ahead of Inauguration Day, Time Magazine published a mental health guide for liberals struggling to cope with the reality of President Donald Trump retaking the White House. A group cry session and "forest bathing" were among the recommended coping techniques. The tutorial—titled "11 Things to Do on Inauguration Day That Are Great for Your Mental Health"—extensively lists ways sensitive snowflakes can manage their feelings of impending doom. For those "dreading" four more years of Trump, Time Magazine consulted a handful of so-called mental health experts to advise libs on how to deal with their "distress."
A Presidential Pardon does not take effect unless the suspect accepts it. That according to a little known, 1915 ruling from the Supreme Court, once accepted, the pardon serves as an “imputation of guilt,” or what’s more commonly known as an admission. Because accepting the pardon is “essential to it’s validity,” I am demanding the Biden family, Dr. Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the members of the J6 Committee and everyone else Biden unsurprisingly pardoned declare their acceptance of the pardon publicly. Because, according to the Supreme Court, it would also serve as a declaration of guilt.
Several leftist nonprofit organizations have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn in on Monday. The complaint centers on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a non-government advisory group headed by X owner Elon Musk to slash government spending.
