Althouse finds "Trump’s allies already pounced on the Hunter Biden pardon as evidence of their wilder allegations about the elder Biden’s own culpability in his son’s." ""There’s no doubt they would again spin additional pardons as validation for Trump's bogus claims that he has long been a victim of hoaxes, witch hunts, and 'deep-state' political attacks." Writes Eric Lutz, in "Pardoning Trump’s Enemies Is a Double-Edged Sword/By offering preemptive pardons to the likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff, Joe Biden might rescue them for legal retribution. But Trump would falsely use it as evidence that they committed crimes" (Vanity Fair). It's always amusing to Democrats' problems phrased in terms of Republicans "pouncing" on them, and I like that the person writing "pounce" is named "Lutz" — both a pounce and a lutz are jumps." They're just lucky we haven't "seized". At NYPo, White House blames Rep. Jim Clyburn for convincing Biden to pardon Hunter. Sundance at CTH hears Karine Jean-Pierre Drop the Name that Matters About Pardons – Now, Watch What Comes Next, Jim Clyburn. "It is transparently obvious why Jim Clyburn would be seeking a preemptive pardon from Joe Biden. Clyburn is singularly the most exposed political figure if anyone starts looking at how the election system ballot operation was used in 2020, 2022 and 2024. Clyburn knows his risk exposure." Dave Strom at Hat Hair sees the Pardon Push Gaining Momentum. Will Democrats establish the precedent of having the Prezit pardon his whole administration on the way out the door to prevent the next administration from doing unto them as they have done? Tom Elliott@tomselliott, "Michelle Goldberg (@michelleinbklyn) says Biden should pardon every Democrat whom Trump’s DoJ may investigate: “Just pardon all of them.”" End Wokeness@EndWokeness, "CBS just confirmed that Biden plans on giving preemptive pardons to Dr. Fauci, Milley, Liz Cheney, Schiff, & top aides. "nO oNe iS aBoVe tHe LaW"." The Divine Ms. Devine at NYPo sees Sucker Dems took Biden at his ‘word’ – only to be left with egg on their face and a broken party. “I took the president at his word,” Newsom said Tuesday. “I’m disappointed and can’t support the decision.” At HillFaith, HILL STAFF VIEWS: Can You Guess How Aides View Biden Pardon? "Among Democrats, the figure, 55 percent, for those supporting the pardon is not quite as high as one might expect, while among Republicans, the figure for those opposed to the pardon might be a tad lower, at 78 percent." Shooting News Weekly explores The Rank Hypocrisy Of Joe Biden’s Stance on Drug Use and Guns. Matt Vespa at TownHall says I'm Sure The View Regretted Inviting John Fetterman for This Interview. Joe Concha@JoeConchaTV "Your watch of the day:" Quote The Vigilant Fox@VigilantFox, "NEW: Joy Behar dies inside as John Fetterman explains that Trump’s NY trial was politically motivated. “Those kinds of charges would have never been brought unless one side realized that they could weaponize that.” Unbeknownst to Fetterman, he called out Behar to her face, Show more"
@Project_Veritas, "BREAKING: @EPA Advisor Admits ‘Insurance Policy’ Against Trump is Funneling Billions to Climate Organizations, “We’re Throwing Gold Bars off the Titanic” “It was an insurance policy against Trump winning.” “Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in ... it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge.”" Ace finds the DEI-Crazy Biden Administration Finds One Group It Won't Extend Hiring Prefernces To: Veterans, Of Course "The Biden Administration is so DEI-crazy that they demanded a DEI concession in the investigation of a fatal air collision: Biden's race-hustler officials demanded that this crucial investigatory panel be chosen according to DEI factors. 364 people died in this collision, and Biden wants it investigated by a firm that is diverse but not necessarily competent. A judge rejected this lunacy."
At NYPo, Tim Walz admits he’s a ‘little surprised’ he, Harris lost in first interviews since Trump defeat. “It felt like at the rallies, at the things I was going to, the shops I was going in, that the momentum was going our way, and it obviously wasn’t at the end,” Walz told KSTP." Da Mail, Tim Walz reveals why he's stunned Kamala Harris lost the election in his first interview. High on his own supply. Dave Strom explains Why Democrats Will Likely Be in the Political Wilderness For a While. Bob Spencer at PJM, Obama Just Accused Republicans of What Democrats Are Doing, and It’s Nothing Less Than Ominous. "Obama accused the Republicans of doing everything that the Democrats have been doing for the past few years: rigging elections, weaponizing the justice system, and trying to ensure that they would remain in power on an indefinite basis. " Driscoll at Insty, OBAMA CANNOT FAIL. ONLY WE CAN FAIL OBAMA: Jon Gabriel@exjon, "By voting in a democratic election, millions of people proved they hate democracy. Yes, this Obama fellow is quite the intellect." Quote TheBlaze@theblaze, "Obama: "The election proved that democracy is pretty far down on people's priority list."
NewsMax, Trump Says Defense Nominee Hegseth a 'Winner'. At the Center Square, Trump defends Pentagon pick as questions surround nomination. Althouse, "Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe." ""He was a great student - Princeton/Harvard educated - with a Military state of mind. He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense Defense, one who leads with charisma and skill. Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!" Writes Donald Trump, at Truth Social, wisely standing behind Pete Hegseth. "I say "wisely," because the moment Hegseth is defeated, somebody else will come under attack, just as strongly, and it will not end. The lust to destroy Trump will never be appeased, and he must know that. And don't his enemies know that he knows? They are making him more hardcore. I'm going to assume that's what they want." At Da Caller, ‘As Long As Donald Trump Wants Me’: Hegseth Vows To Stay As Trump’s Defense Nominee Amid Challenges. Insty, WHY THEY’RE AFRAID OF PETE HEGSETH: Jerry Dunleavy IV@JerryDunleavy "I’ve been banging the drum on this for years as a reporter, author, & Hill investigator. I was met with nothing but stonewalling & whitewashing by BidenAdmin, DOD, & even some Republicans. It’d be huge to have Hegseth change the tide as SecDef, & I know lots of Afghan vets agree." Quote Jerry Dunleavy IV @JerryDunleavy "I’m reading Hegseth’s book “The War on Warriors” & this section on the debacle in Afghanistan and the failures by Pentagon leadership & by generals is the clearest & most passionate articulation by any high-profile figure about the need for accountability at DOD. Read every word." Sarah Arnold at TownHall hears 'You're Disgusting:' Radio Host Unloads on Liberal After She Accuses Pete Hegseth of Being a Rapist. “Can I just say that I do think that Pete Hegseth actually is a good choice to oversee the U.S. military? I think they have a lot in common, like just like the U.S. military. Pete Hegseth doesn’t practice consent, you know, when raping and pillaging other people,” Fiorentini said. “And I think the U.S. military does the same thing. They rape and pillage other countries.” At Twitchy, Washington Post 'Journalist' Under Fire After Startling Pics of Alcohol Consumption Surface Online, sauce for the goose. At Hat Hair, Beege Welborn has a Joni Ernst Angst UPDATE. She thinks she should be Sec. Def. Not happening. “She’s waging a campaign to replace Pete with herself,” a Trump source familiar with her phone calls with Trump said." Lyle (not Immanuel) Goldstein at Am Con, considers The Hidden Logic of Trump’s National Security Picks. "Trump seems to be a moderating influence on hawks and a resolving influence on restrainers."

VodkaPundit at Insty, FASTER, PLEASE: ‘We’re going to gut the fish’: Republicans give details from closed-door meetings with DOGE’s Musk, Ramaswamy. Sundance at CTH thinks he knows The True and Visible Mission of DOGE – What to Expect, a return to regular budgets? "Few people realize the last Federal Budget that passed through “regular order” was for Fiscal Year 2008, signed by President George W Bush in September of 2007. Every budget since has been outside regular order; a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending packages and short-term funding mechanisms." Campus Reform helpfully provides 10 outrageous taxpayer-funded higher ed research projects DOGE can investigate. Treadmill shrimp make the list. John Sexton at Hat Hair, NASA Delays Return to the Moon (Plus How Will DoGE Impact NASA).
WSJ reports The Trump NIH Pick Who Wants to Take On ‘Cancel Culture’ Colleges. "Jay Bhattacharya would consider academic freedom at universities and medical schools seeking NIH grants." Bob Shibley at Insty, "Whether or not FIRE’s surveys end up being considered, it’s critical that NIH grant recipients provide academic freedom so they can’t warp the results you paid for in whatever way they find politically convenient. Dr. Bhattacharya, you may remember, has plenty of reason to know the importance of scientists’ ability to follow their academic consciences.
At Da Caller, Trump Reveals His Picks To Lead Immigration Enforcement Agencies "In a string of social media posts Thursday night, the president-elect announced the nominations of Caleb Vitello to lead ICE and Rodney Scott to lead CBP. Both men have worked for years in their respective agencies, with Vitello currently serving as the assistant director for the Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs with the agency, and Scott formerly serving as the Border Patrol chief in both the first Trump administration and Biden administration."

Beege Welborn notes Ashli Babbitt's Murderer Not All That Popular With Capitol Police Force, Either. A long list of disciplinary actions. As a personal note, somebody I know (a familiar person on the blog) once supervised at person who turned up as a Federal security guard at the Smithsonian as a military cop. When I told him about it his response was "They let him carry a gun?"
NYPo, Prominent doctor accused of pushing pre-teen into puberty blockers, mastectomy sued for medical negligence. "Clementine Breen, now 20, filed a medical negligence lawsuit against Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy Thursday, claiming she was rushed into irreversible treatment to become male starting at age 12 without proper psychological testing and monitoring of her mental health and the side-effects of the treatment, according to a report by the Economist." John Sexton, America's Top Proponent of Gender Affirming Care is Being Sued. "Recently, Dr. Olson-Kennedy made news for sitting on the results of a government funded study of trans children because the outcome didn't support her ideological commitments. The study, which she launched in 2015, was supposed to demonstrate that children given puberty blockers were better off, i.e. less prone to harm themselves and happier. But the data didn't show that. In fact it seems to show no real improvement from her treatment. Rather than publish the result, she decided to quietly sit on her findings. She told the NY Times, "I do not want our work to be weaponized."" Michele Tafoya has a video, Does Bodily Mutilation Make Kids Happy?

Althouse hears the NYT whine "The University of Michigan will no longer require diversity statements as part of faculty hiring, promotion and tenure decisions...."
