Flotsam and Jetsam - Pardon Me!

Can you imagine we're still looking a Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter for all federal crimes, named and unnamed from Jan 1, 2014 to Dec. 1, 2024? From Hat Hair, John Sexton notices After Thanksgiving, Biden Pardoned Another Turkey, Joe Biden admits The System Is Rigged, and Karine Jean-Pierre: 'War Politics Infected the Process', Beege Welborn looks at Our Rotten POTATUS and His Cracked Chip Off the Old Spud, Dave Strom wonders Were You Naive Enough to Believe Joe Biden? (no), Duane Patterson thinks Joe Biden Just Razed the Democrats' Moral High Ground (they didn't hold any), and Capt. Ed, 'Voters Now Know What His Word As a Biden Is Worth' -- And the Media's and Larry has a video, The Real Reason Hunter Biden Was Pardoned: What Everyone Is Getting Wrong!

On X, Jonathan Turley@JonathanTurley, "With this pardon, Joe Biden shredded any residue of veracity and credibility as president." Bill D'Agostino@Banned_Bill "BRUTAL: Brianna Keilar on CNN just made Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) watch a clip of himself insisting that Biden would never pardon Hunter. She then asked: "What does that feel like?" They even kept him on-screen as the video played so we could watch his reaction." Kate Hyde@KateHydeNY, "Biden’s Presidency started with him denying the existence of Hunter’s laptop and is ending with Biden pardoning Hunter for all the things found on his laptop." Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald, "9 straight minutes of the people who destroyed trust in media heralding Joe Biden as one of history's greatest men of honor for saying he would not pardon Hunter Biden. Beyond the extreme ignorance needed to have believed Biden, look how these people operate as a mindless herd" Lee Smith@LeeSmithDC, "US intelligence services’ multi-decades curation of Biden family crimes requires major assessment of what programs and resources are compromised. This story is hardly ended with a pardon." Yossi Gestetner@YossiGestetner, "Biden who suggested at a 1/5/17 Oval meeting to bury @GenFlynn with a Logan "violation" and who took action that led to the raid on Trump (see below) for docs that Biden was guilty of worse, complains now that his own DOJ is corrupt after criticizing Trump for saying the same." Jerry Dunleavy IV πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ@JerryDunleavy, "This is a crock of shit by Joe Biden btw. Hunter Biden was not unfairly prosecuted, & he was rightly convicted of felony tax charges & gun charges. Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal only unraveled because of brave whistleblowers. And he should’ve been charged with foreign lobbying." Nate Silver@NateSilver538 "I discussed here how I voted for Harris despite feeling like Democrats indulged in a lot of bad behavior that voters were rational to publish. After the White House lying about the Hunter pardon I'm not sure how much more I can tolerate." Andy Ngo 🏳️‍🌈@MrAndyNgo, "Americans are burdened with heavy taxes in a time when the cost of living is already crippling. But the president has pardoned his son of the $1.35 million he owed for tax evasion based on lucrative business deals he got from access to his father. The corruption of the Biden administration and the first family are what you often see in despotic regimes." Matt Wallace@MattWallace888, Hunter Biden - Commits 3 serious felonies, 0 YEARS IN PRISON Meanwhile… Tina Peters - Tries to expose election fraud, 9 YEARS IN PRISON. . ." Karol Markowicz@karol, "A lot of people saying of course you’d pardon your kid. But your kid often only gets to taking bribes and selling your influence for money when you’ve been pardoning him your whole life." AJ Huber@Huberton, "No one is Above the Law. Except for the Biden Family." Scott Jennings@ScottJenningsKY, "*offer not applicable to degenerate family members." Kate Hyde@KateHydeNY, "Biden signing Hunter’s pardon." Ben Sixsmith@BDSixsmith, "Let he who has not done crack with prostitutes while mysteriously holding undeserved positions with dubious foreign companies cast the first stone."

RedState's 'Bonchie' wants you to WATCH Scott Jennings Go Nuclear After CNN Analyst Claims Biden Didn't Lie About Pardoning His Son and Teri Christoph thinks Joe Biden Just Handed Donald Trump the Mother of All Mandates. From Althouse, Here's a tightly edited 9-minute montage of lavishing praise on Joe Biden for not pardoning his son, "All of it done, I presume, with an intent to influence the 2024 election. All of it bullshit," Democrats need to figure out if they ought to trash Biden for pardoning Hunter and build the strongest foundation for attacking Trump over the pardoning spree he's about to launch, "Yes, yes, of course, you Democrats can pose fussily and piously making distinctions between all the crimes Hunter may have done in the last 10 years and anything attributable to Trump's pardonees. Go ahead. Try. I see your efforts. They're so self-serving they underscore the essential problem: political favoritism," and The NYT purports to show us "how" Biden did something we don't even know that he did. "This is an embarrassing headline: "How Biden Changed His Mind on Pardoning Hunter: ‘Time to End All of This’/The threat of a retribution-focused Trump administration and his son’s looming sentencings prompted the president to abandon a promise not to get involved in Hunter Biden’s legal problems."

At Shooting News, In Pardoning Hunter, Joe Biden Declares Lying on a 4473 a Minor Infraction (and Gives Trump Cover for J6 Pardons).

Da Fetched, CNN Correspondent Says Quiet Part Out loud on Biden’s Hunter Pardon, "“We were told that this came to a head this weekend, and this is why President Biden decided now to do this. But as Isaac was just saying, that really is a sense of the conversation that has been going on really inside the family,” Jeff Zeleny said." Da Mail tells How Jill Biden led the family campaign to pressure Joe into changing his mind on a Hunter pardon. Ashe Schow at Da Wire explains Why Joe Biden Might Pardon His Brother Next, "James Biden was also involved in Hunter's business dealings." Breitbart remembers Adam Schiff in 2018 Suggested Pardoning a President’s Son Could Be an Effort to Obstruct Justice. Twitchy, STRAIGHT-FAFO! Scott Jennings Takes CNN Panelist APART for Claiming Biden Didn't LIE About Hunter Pardon. Ace wakes up to the fact Demented Liar Joe Biden Pardons His Spree Criminal Son After Years of Vowing He Would Never Do So Because He Trusts the Judiciary and Wants to Uphold Norms, "That thing this old rapist promised he wouldn't do in your mouth? Plot twist, he did it in your mouth." William Stroock's Books is Green Ganged, "Happy Trails, Hunter." "Well of course Joe pardoned Hunter.

Insty, MIKE JUDGE DIDN’T INTEND FOR IDIOCRACY TO BE A HOW-TO GUIDE: How to sum up 2024? The Oxford University Press word of the year is ‘brain rot.’ "Remember the five minutes over the summer where the presidential election campaign of a then-59-year old sitting vice president in desperate need of a gravitas infusion tried to somehow adopt that word as a campaign slogan? Those were good times: ‘Kamala IS brat:’ Harris campaign goes lime-green to embrace the meme of the summer." Matt Vespa hears from a Dem Donor: Oh, I Know Obama and Pelosi Didn't Want Kamala. At Am Great, Michael Kochin invokes Deus Vult, "Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign failed because her dismissive attitude toward religion alienated voters in a nation where faith still plays a crucial role in public life."

Ace, Trump Nominates Revealer of the Russiagate Psyop Kash Patel to be New Director of the FBI, "He's definitely a Trump ally." Dave Strom at Hat Hair notices Wow! They HATE Kash Patel.

Nick Arama at RedState finds Raskin Is Not a Happy Camper About Patel Pick, What He Has to Say About the 'Deep State' Is Hilarious.

Bravo Blue hears The Wall Street Journal Lets Its Anti-Kash Patel Bias Seep into Its News Coverage. From American Refugees, Kash Patel and the New Republican 'Cool.' At PJM Cathy Salgado publishes an FBI Whistleblower’s Priorities for Kash Pate. Steve Friend, "“Director Patel should immediately dissolve the FBI case quota system and Intelligence Branch,” Friend told me. “These protocols have contributed to the bureau’s devolution into a politicized secret police force.” Friend added, “He should also eliminate the FBI’s nine diversity advisory committees which operate outside the chain of command and revamp hiring practices to focus on merit.” DEI is poisonous, and it needs to be eradicated from our government. The Biden-Harris administration encouraged it, but the Trump administration can reverse that destructive trend." Breitbart hears Ted Cruz: ‘Very Strong Nominee’ Kash Patel Will Be Confirmed by the Senate. I hope so. Mike LaChance at LI sees Democrats and the Media Are Trying to ‘Brett Kavanaugh’ Trump DoD Pick Pete Hegseth “The media has gone into smear-fest mode and won’t stop until they get a scalp.” From Task and Purpose, Bitterness over the ‘Forever War’ a unifying factor in Trump’s post-9/11 veteran cabinet picks. Jesse Kelly@JesseKellyDC, "The four most important confirmations (Hegseth, Patel, Gabbard, RFK) are the four toughest confirmations and that’s because the GOP senate sees its job not as reformers of a corrupt system but as protecting The System from reform. The GOP senate is the hidden enemy." Sundance at CTH hears Pam Bondi Tell Chairman Chuck Grassley, “I will make you, the President, and our country proud”, speculates about Truth Tellers -vs- Truth Managers: POTUS Declassification Examples and hosts Senator Ron Johnson: “Exposing the Truth will be our Primary Weapon” .

Sundance observes President Trump Issues Dire Warning for Mideast Hostage Takers. Althouse, "Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East..." "... But it’s all talk, and no action! 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. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United State s of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!" Writes Donald Trump, at Truth Social."

TV News Now@TVNewsNow, "PETER DOOCY: “Tonight, we’re getting new details about that Trump-Trudeau dinner from two people who were at the table. We are told that when @JustinTrudeau told President-elect Trump that new tarrifs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump joked to him that if Canada can’t survive without ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100bn a year then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau could become its governor!” @pdoocy tells @BretBaier.

Hat Hair, TDS Is Such a Sad Sickness: ZitoSalena@ZitoSalena, "This is vile. This son admits his mother gave up her home and her life to be nearby to help with the raising of her grandchildren. He admits she is kind & sweet & very helpful. This is how this selfish grown man repays her love & sacrifice just because of political differences?" The Manhattan Contrarian knows The Real Insurrectionists: The Federal Workforce. Insty, at his substack, Like a Wrecking Ball "Trump gets ready to move fast and break things -- but he's also laying an institutional foundation for Republicans." Kaelen Deese at WaEx thinks Trump can axe entrenched DEI frameworks his first week back in the White House. At Hat Hair Christian Heiens has some Fascinating Maps of Shift in New York City Voting 2020 vs 2024. Joel Kotkin at Spiked, America’s working class is taking back control, "Trump-voting blue-collar workers are re-discovering their political power."

At Gateway Pundit, Citizens of Shasta County, California Declare State of Emergency and Demand Certifiable Election Results, "The US Supreme Court in 1915 (US vs Mosley)1 concluded that we not only have the right to cast a vote, but to have that vote counted accurately. Shasta County did not follow the user manual provided by Hart InterCivic (Verity Ballot Printing Guidelines, pg 33) and as a result a printing error on live ballots occurred. One out of two ballots are being rejected and must be duplicated. California Voting System Standards are not being met in Shasta County. The voting system (Hart InterCivic) as it is currently utilized, has a misfeed rate (rejection rate) of approximately 250 ballots for every 500 ballots scanned, or 250/500. This far exceeds the State Voting System Standards set forth by the Secretary of State, that allow for no more than 1 misfeed per 500 ballots scanned, or 1/500.2 The duplication process is conducted in private with no meaningful observation."

Ace hears Dave Reaboi wonder Why Did the Left Tell Antifa To Stand Down After Trump's Victory? "The left told antifa to stand down in 2020, too. But that was after a win. (Or, a "win.") Why did they tell antifa to stand down after Literal Hitler was elected?" Paula Bolyard reports Capitol Police Arrest Top Dem Staffer for trying to bring ammo into the Capitol. "According to his House bio, Morelle is a member of the Gun Violence Task Force, which makes this a little awkward, no? (He's also a member of the "Wine Caucus," which I didn't know existed until one minute ago.)"

John Sexton, reports Judge McCormick Blocks Elon Musk's Pay Deal Again. Pure lawfare.

From Campus Reform, University of Michigan Board of Regents targets DEI office for ‘defunding’ or major changes, faculty senate freaks out and PROF. JENKINS explains How you can help 'de-wokify' your campus " . . . you no longer need to tiptoe around or just keep your mouth shut. The Left’s worldview is being repudiated across the country, while yours is gaining momentum. You have permission to behave accordingly. If you’re still in the closet as a campus conservative, it’s time to come out. I’m not saying you should be obnoxious about it or flaunt your partisanship. I’m just saying you don’t have to hide it anymore—in the classroom, on the quad, or among your peers. All those administrators, professors, and fellow students who tried to control you for years by threatening, demeaning, or shouting you down no longer have any real power. They can still sputter and bluster, and they will, but at this point it’s mostly just impotent rage. Public opinion has turned against them."

Insty, PUSHBACK WORKS: "After uproar, Georgetown law delays pregnant student’s exam so she can give birth.“Initially, the law school refused to grant Brittany Lovely’s request, telling her ‘Motherhood is not for the Faint of Heart,’ according to a petition created by her classmates.” This is the same university that was setting up a “self-care suite” with legos, crayons, and milk and cookies for students traumatized by Trump’s win. Faint of heart indeed."

John Sexton highlights J.K. Rowling on the Personal Cost of Standing up to Trans Activists. "Opponents of gender ideology haven't merely 'endured unsparing criticism'. I haven't simply been told I 'betrayed real feminism' or received a few book-burning videos. I've been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans woman posted my family's home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman. I could write a twenty thousand word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we've endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others."
