The Patriot Post® · Joe Pardons Joe

While you were enjoying turkey over the Thanksgiving holiday, Joe Biden was the real “turkey.” For the second year in a row, Biden issued a Thanksgiving proclamation that totally left out God and, thus, the entire history of our country.

That leftists Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only presidents to omit God from Thanksgiving proclamations is proof that the culture war is taken very seriously by the neo-Marxist left in America.

After Biden issued the traditional pardons for the White House turkeys, he gave one of the broadest “full and unconditional” pardons ever issued to his son, Hunter.

Joe pardoned Hunter for any and every crime Hunter committed from 2014 to 2024. With the stroke of his pen, Biden made Hunter’s gun charges, tax evasion, and foreign influence peddling schemes all disappear.

But here’s the really big news, which the media doesn’t want you to understand: Joe actually pardoned himself!

The primary target of the Hunter Biden investigations was the corruption that benefitted his father, Joe Biden. Hunter was selling his father’s influence for millions of dollars that enriched the entire Biden family.

That corruption involved very bad foreign actors and governments, including the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, the Chinese communist government, and, yes, the corrupt government of Ukraine. The Biden family’s history in Ukraine likely explains why Joe Biden is even risking nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine.

So, it’s bad enough that Joe pardoned Hunter after repeatedly claiming he wouldn’t. But Joe really pardoned Hunter to protect himself.

Joe Biden is on his way out of office, and I’m sure he doesn’t want FBI Director Kash Patel (see below) raiding his house in Delaware!

A Silver Lining

Maybe there’s a silver lining here. This pardon clearly shows Joe Biden’s contempt for the American people. He is one of the biggest liars to ever occupy the Oval Office, and he lied again because he thinks we’re stupid.

The pardon makes it easier for Donald Trump to issue pardons for our fellow citizens who were prosecuted and so poorly treated after the January 6th protest on Capitol Hill.

More than 560 people have been sentenced to jail. More than 600 people have been charged with only misdemeanor offenses, including “parading in the Capitol Building,” even though many left-wing jurisdictions often won’t prosecute misdemeanors.

I believe Trump will start issuing those pardons at the earliest possible moment in his second term.

The Right Choice

Donald Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel to lead the FBI has caused a firestorm of protest in the left-wing media and the DC Swamp. Patel is not a household name. Here’s what you need to know: He is being attacked for all the right reasons, and all the right people are terrified.

Former Deputy FBI Director and James Comey crony Andrew McCabe said Patel’s nomination was a “terrible development” that signals Trump’s intention to “disrupt” and “dismantle” the agency. What it really signals is Trump’s desire to reform the FBI.

Kash Patel is being attacked for the work he did to expose the “black ops” run by the FBI against Donald Trump alleging Russia collusion. That was the central issue that so paralyzed Trump’s first term.

It was a totally contrived lie, and it was not just the work of a rogue agent or two. It was corruption that went all the way to the top, including James Comey and Andrew McCabe.

Working with Devin Nunes, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Kash Patel discovered and exposed the “black ops” that the FBI and the CIA ran against Trump and the American people during the 2016 election. And they did it again in the 2020 election.

Here’s one of the things that has the Deep State terrified.

For the past four years, the Congress of the United States has not been able to get a straight answer from FBI Director Christopher Wray about how many agents were on Capitol Hill on January 6th and what their roles were. We want their names, and we want to know if they encouraged people to go into the Capitol Building or even led people into the building.

Wray has repeatedly refused to answer any questions about the FBI’s involvement in the events of January 6th, claiming it would compromise intelligence operations. That is an absurd answer.

Here’s another thing that has the Deep State terrified.

What was the chain of command at the FBI during the raid on the home of a former president of the United States? Federal agents stayed in Donald Trump’s home for hours. They went through his wife’s underwear. They staged and then leaked fake photos to embarrass Trump. And who authorized the use of deadly force?

That was not a minor event in our history. It was a major abuse of our legal system. There must be accountability.

That’s why the left is so afraid of Kash Patel. It’s all the things he uncovered while working for Devin Nunes, and it’s all the things he will uncover that occurred over the past eight years.

And it’s not just what they did to Donald Trump, pro-life activists, parents at school board meetings, and conservative churches. It’s also what they did to shield and protect the Biden and Obama administrations.

A Warning

Kash Patel is an excellent choice to clean house at the FBI. But some reports suggest a small cabal of Republican senators may not vote for him. When asked about Kash Patel, Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) said he’s perfectly happy with Christopher Wray.

The “Ragin’ Cajun” James Carville said recently that the Harris campaign did “unfathomable damage” to the “Democratic brand.” This is one time I hope Carville is right. But the damage these Senate Republicans will do if they block Trump’s nominees will also be “unfathomable.”

For decades, Republican senators have justified voting for the left-wing nominees of Democrat presidents by saying, “I may disagree with this person, but I believe the president deserves his selections.”

If institutionalists like Mitch McConnell or Mike Rounds stop this Republican president from having the people he needs in key positions, they will hurt Donald Trump and do “unfathomable damage” to the Republican brand.

Weaponizing Education

A new report by our friends at the American Principles Project (APP) finds that the Biden/Harris Department of Education (DOE) selectively targeted Christian colleges and universities for enforcement actions.

For example, even though less than 10% of American college students attend Christian colleges and universities, those institutions make up nearly 70% of all DOE enforcement actions. Incredibly, not one Ivy League college faced similar enforcement actions, even though they are overrun with rampant antisemitism and pro-Hamas sympathizers.

The DOE’s enforcement actions center around the Clery Act, which requires colleges and universities to disclose information about campus safety. According to APP, the average fine imposed on public institutions for Clery Act violations is just under $230,000. But Christian colleges and universities were slammed with an average fine of $815,000 by the Biden/Harris administration.

But that’s peanuts compared to the $14 million fine the Biden/Harris DOE imposed on Liberty University and the record $37.7 million fine against Colorado Christian University (CCU). The CCU fine alone was larger than all Department of Education enforcement fines levied over the past ten years combined!

Thankfully, the outrageous anti-Christian bias of leftist bureaucrats at the Department of Education is coming to an end in 49 days.

America Last

Incoming Trump administration officials are repeating their pledge to expel illegal aliens in the country, beginning with those who are facing criminal charges. Ponder this: There are 58,000 illegal aliens who are either convicted criminals or who are facing charges in New York City alone, and there are 670,000 criminal aliens nationwide.

Remember those numbers the next time you hear some left-wing pundit hyperventilating over “Trump’s mass deportations.”

Meanwhile, New York City has signed a three-year deal with the Roosevelt Hotel to house illegal migrants for $220 million. The Roosevelt Hotel is owned by the Pakistani national airline, which is owned by the Pakistani government.

So, we’re paying a foreign government that isn’t very friendly to us hundreds of millions of dollars to house thousands of individuals who crossed our borders illegally and who should not be here.

The whole deal is at taxpayer expense!

It’s difficult to come up with a better example of an “America Last” policy.
