Flotsam and Jetsam - All Biden Orders Void Because of Autopen Signatures?

Matt Margolis has high hopes Could a Bombshell Discovery Render All of Biden's Presidential Actions 'Null and Void'? "Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn't recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports? Now we know why — he probably didn't. The real question is: Who did? Who was running the country while Biden was not all there? Oversight Project @OversightPR, WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year. Here is the autopen signature." Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "BREAKING: Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey asked the DOJ to investigate whether Biden’s cognitive mental decline allowed unelected officials to make decisions without his knowledge or approval. If that’s the case, Biden’s executive orders, pardons, and other actions, may be unconstitutional and void." Ace, All of Biden's "Laws" and Executive Orders Were Signed by Autopen (Robotic Signature Duplicator), Putting Biden's Entire Presidency in Question, "The headline is wrong: There was one single thing he actually signed, his notice that he was withdrawing from the 2024 race." Everything else was signed by the Biden staffers' Electronic President Substitute." We knew that Biden was not really in control, but we assumed they were at least shoving the paper under his pen for show. I predict nothing will happen because Biden is a Democrat.

Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays, "Are there any Democrat organizations that are NOT some version of Hunter selling art?"

I’m urging DOGE to immediately identify and cancel any DOE loan guarantees for the Grain Belt Express project."

From Da Signal, Trump Justice Department Could Enforce Expiration Date for Mail-In Ballots. At the Pennsylvania Record, 'Historic' case over future of Pa. elections tossed. "The suit was filed with the hope of ensuring "only votes properly cast are counted" in 2024 and beyond. It complained that standards laid out by the Help America Vote Act and the National Voter Registration Act were not met in 2022 but nothing was done to address that." Permission to rig elections granted.

From Altouse, "President Trump has clipped the wings of Elon Musk by putting the cabinet in charge of federal firings after mounting complaints about the billionaire’s indiscriminate approach to cost-cutting." "Trump told a meeting of his top team that it was time for the 'scalpel rather than the hatchet' after an outcry from voters, including in Republican districts, about the wave of sackings carried out by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). This is the first time Trump has acted to rein in the X and SpaceX entrepreneur, who has built a far-reaching power base at the president’s side — cemented by unrivalled access to his home and inner circle — prompting Democrat complaints of a plutocratic takeover of the US government," From "Trump reins in Musk after Doge sacking spree upsets rivals and allies/The president is putting his cabinet in charge of federal firings after voters complain about Elon Musk’s cost-cutting layoffs" (London Times). And, "Mr. Musk, who wore a suit and tie to Thursday’s meeting instead of his usual T-shirt after Mr. Trump publicly ribbed him about his sloppy appearance..." "I'm reading "Inside the Explosive Meeting Where Trump Officials Clashed With Elon Musk/Simmering anger at the billionaire’s unchecked power spilled out in a remarkable Cabinet Room meeting. The president quickly moved to rein in Mr. Musk" (NYT)." If it's in the NYT I start with the assumption that it's a lie.

Sarah Arnold at TownHall reports Kash Patel’s FBI Shocks Nation With Treason Arrests Just Two Weeks Into His Role "The U.S. Department of Justice said that two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers, Jian Zhao and Li Tian, and a veteran, Ruoyu Duan, were in the process of attempting to sell national defense intelligence to Chinese agents. Zhao and Tian were stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord." DC_Draino @DC_Draino, "I think it’s kinda crazy how you’ll never see a “Michael Brady” or “James McDougall” serving in the CCP army but we have Li Tian’s and Jian Zhao’s serving in ours (and committing treason) There needs to be better vetting, " At Insty, UPDATE: A friend writes: "Shoot them. That’s the normal thing to do. But that way they can’t be traded next time the Democrats are in power. And issue an advisory against Americans going to China, lest they get nabbed on trumped up charges like Putin does. A bit of a shot across the Chinese bow. . . " From Althouse, "The corruption needs to be immediately defunded. The F.B.I. should no longer exist as it’s constituted now." ""The mission should be divvied up. The money should be divvied up amongst other agencies that take the oath to their country seriously.” Said Dan Bongino, in a 2023 podcast, quoted in "How Dan Bongino Would Run the F.B.I., According to Dan Bongino/The newly appointed deputy director of the F.B.I. has a long history of criticizing the bureau and its leadership. He has promised 'dramatic change'" (NYT)." Even if they got this right, the agency is still fundamentally corrupt.

Drew Berquist, Tulsi Gabbard Drops Bombshell: Biden Admin Freed Many ISIS-Linked Migrants Into U.S. Althouse notices "There's only so much he can do." "To be fair, it's possible that the things Trump is doing to shut the border are things a court will one day tell him he actually can't do. For now, he's doing it anyway. Those who want to preserve their dignity after leaning hard into "There's only so much he can do" have a big stake in the litigation. We're still in the middle of things. And here's the key line from Trump's March 4, 2025 address to Congress: "The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new President." If the President wants to do something, he'll push the boundaries of power. If he doesn't, he'll see those boundaries where they justify his inaction."

Ilya Shapiro at CJ, Trump Is Right to Deport Hamas Supporters. "Federal law authorizes denying or revoking the visa of anyone who supports terrorist activity." NewsMax, US to Use AI to Revoke Visas of Students It Deems Hamas Backers "President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January to combat antisemitism and has pledged to deport noncitizen college students and others who took part in pro-Palestinian protests that have been ongoing for months amid Israel's military assault on Gaza after Hamas' October 2023 attack. The AI-fueled "Catch and Revoke" effort will include AI-assisted reviews of tens of thousands of student visa holders' social media accounts, Axios reported."

"During his joint address to Congress on Tuesday, Trump cited several examples of “appalling waste” he had cut, including $8.2 million in NIH-funded studies on “gender-affirming” hormone treatments mice. CNN’s Deidre McPhillips initially tried to dispute the claim, arguing only about $500,000 had been allocated for similar research in monkeys — she was later forced to issue a correction after the White House proved CNN’s “fact check” inaccurate in a statement."

Stacy McCain asks, rhetorically, Why Has the ‘Valuable Resource’ Known as 538 Been Summarily Discarded? "Perhaps a better metric of FiveThirtyEight’s value would be the fact that ABC News didn’t sell the site — for which their parent company paid a pretty penny, years ago — but rather shut it down. Had there been any market value to the site, why weren’t there any other media operations offering cash to acquire it from ABC News? The obvious answer is that FiveThirtyEight was always a money-losing operation, first for the New York Times, and then under Disney ownership, first at ESPN and then at ABC News. The salaries of the staff always exceeded whatever revenue was generated by FiveThirtyEight. Nate Silver goes on to say that there is a “bright future” for the kind of “data journalism” that FiveThirtyEight did, by which I suppose he means that there’s always a market for predicting elections wrong, so long as your error favors Democrats."
