Someone acting for the president just made a decision that only a president can make and commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 murderers on federal death row out of a sense of someone's moral imperative.
The Office of the President of the United States of America announced the commutations early Monday morning of Christmas week. A statement issued by the White House said the president was "guided by my conscience" to commute the death penalties for some of the worst of the worst offenders in America.
It begs the question of how consciously Joe Biden does anything these days

HOUSTON, Texas — A Honduran migrant who entered the U.S. as an unaccompanied minor now faces a murder charge in Harris County, Texas.

At the heart of the Christmas story, nestled in the opening verses of two Gospels, lies the birth of Jesus, the long awaited Messiah. These words speak of a King born not in the grand halls of a world capital, but in the squalor of a manger—a place of vulnerability. As the angels proclaimed peace on earth, humanity was presented with the ultimate paradox: the Prince of Peace, born unexpectedly, in the midst of ongoing war and turmoil.
For centuries, the people of Israel had awaited the Messiah. Prophecies spoke of a leader—a descendant of David—who would reign with justice, righteousness, and power, establishing peace and ending war.
The Biden administration quietly rolled out a controversial new program aimed at providing LGBTQ+ education to students, including lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation, without requiring parental consent. The initiative is part of a broader push by the outgoing administration to advance progressive, woke education onto kids and indoctrinate them behind parent’s backs.
According to details of a grant, the Biden Administration handed out millions of dollars to researchers for an experimental program that lets students to participate in a paid 10-week long “intervention” designed to help LGBTQ-identifying kids “cope with the effects of minority stress.”
Larry the Cable Guy tore into Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT) following her unhinged rant about House Republicans supposedly being "scared" of Elon Musk.
Let me repeat that. The guy who plays Mater — you know, like "tuh-mater," but without the "tuh" — is trying to break down simple concepts regarding congressional spending to a sitting congresswoman.
(Snip) Larry the Cable Guy, real name Daniel Whitney, often shies away from politics due to the toxicity level of the unhinged on social media but has been openly suggesting on X that both political parties need to break the resolution down into standalone bills.
He furthered that argument by addressing DeLauro's "lunatic behavior."
Bidenflation Is Still Exploding Food Prices

We’ve been told for four years that inflation will soon stabilize and disappear thanks to Joe Biden’s awesome stewardship of the economy, and yet…
“Wholesale prices for chicken eggs soared by nearly 55% last month, and wholesale food prices rose by 3.1% (their highest monthly increase in two years),” reports far-left CNN.
Ahh, and because a Democrat is in office, we are then immediately told…
Economists say not to panic. The “egg-flation” and sudden price hikes in some major food categories are reflections of isolated incidents rather than something systemic and indicative of a reacceleration of inflation.
Economists always tell us not to worry when a Democrat is president.

for Constitutional Convention After Trump Victory 5 replies
California and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) are planning to repeal the 2023 call for a national constitutional convention, given Donald Trump’s recent victory and the possibility of Republicans proposing their own new amendments.
As Breitbart News reported last June, Newsom called for a constitutional convention to propose amendments to limit the Second Amendment, such as setting a minimum age of 21 for gun possession, and universal background checks.
But there were political obstacles, as Breitbart News noted:
[S]ince a two-thirds vote of Congress is generally required to launch the process of amending the Constitution, it is unclear how Newsom intends to begin if, as he says, Congress is responsible for inaction.
President Joe Biden appears to be struggling with the prospect of retiring from public life, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday.
After Democrats ousted him as their presidential candidate in July, Biden, 82, who has been a public official since 1973 (51 years), is not enjoying the prospects of sunsetting his over half a century long career at the center of American politics, the NYT’s Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs reported.
Biden reportedly told allies after he dropped out of the race that he was bored, moody, and angry. He’s apparently angry because many Democrats opposed his pardon of his son.

Tucked within the stopgap spending bill is a provision that has enflamed controversy amongst many conservatives on and off Capitol Hill.
The provision, titled “Treatment of electronic services provided for House offices,” sounds vague but could could stop or limit investigations into Congress.

Upon a motion made promptly by a House office or provider for a House office, a court of competent jurisdiction shall quash or modify any legal process

President-elect Donald Trump said he would rename North America's tallest mountain reversing a change made by former President Obama while he was in office.
Speaking at a conservative TurningPoints USA conference in Phoenix, the 78-year-old said he would rename Alaska's Mount Denali to Mount McKinley after the 25th president.
'They took his name off Mount McKinley,' Trump told supporters on Sunday. He praised McKinley as a 'great president' and said his administration would bring back the name Mount McKinley 'because I think he deserves it.'
It comes after Obama sided with the state of Alaska in the long-running dispute over the highest mountain peak's name in 2015 and had it changed

killers and mass murderers 2 days before Christmas 24 replies
They weren’t run over by a reindeer.
President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murderers — in a stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas.
Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said.
Someone acting for the president just made a decision that only a president can make and commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 murderers on federal death row out of a sense of someone's moral imperative.

Ethics Committee Final Report: 'Substantial
Evidence' Gaetz Committed Statutory Rape (Update) 21 replies
Evidence' Gaetz Committed Statutory Rape (Update) 21 replies
This is what's known as the "other shoe dropping."
Matt Gaetz had hoped to avoid public disclosure of the results of the House Ethics Committee investigation into numerous allegations of corruption and wrongdoing. His successful attack on Kevin McCarthy's Speakership came in part because McCarthy refused to quash the probe. Gaetz clearly intended to use the strange sequence this past month where Gaetz resigned his office just after winning another House term in order to force the committee to seal the results. Instead, the Ethics Committee voted to publish its final report on Gaetz. Before they could do that, though, it leaked to a number of news outlets this morning
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has slammed Donald Trump’s proposal to retake the Panama Canal.
Petro, a former Marxist guerilla and vocal supporter of Joe Biden, wrote in a post on the X platform that the number of illegal migrants crossing heading to the southern border would increase by “millions” unless Trump recognized the canal belongs to Panama.
He wrote:
Until the last consequences I will be on the side of Panama and the defense of its sovereignty.
If the new US government wants to talk business, we will talk business, face to face, and for the benefit of our people, but dignity will never be negotiated.
New Yorkers were up in arms Monday one day after an illegal Guatemalan immigrant allegedly burned a sleeping straphanger to death aboard a Brooklyn subway train — while bystanders did nothing.
Horrifying video footage of the incident shows at least three gawkers — one of them seen filming the shocking fatal blaze on his phone — and an NYPD cop standing outside the subway car as flames engulfed the unidentified victim after the Sunday morning attack.“Nobody came to her aid,” said Guardian Angels founder and community activist Curtis Sliwa. “There’s no doubt that people don’t want to get involved. It’s the Daniel Penny factor. It’s frozen people.
Two US Navy pilots were shot down over the Red Sea early Sunday in “an apparent case of friendly fire,” the US military said.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels said later on Sunday they had “targeted” the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman a day earlier in an operation that led to “shooting down an F-18 aircraft” and thwarting “American-British aggression” against Yemen.
United States Central Command said late on Saturday that both US pilots were recovered alive but “initial assessments indicate that one of the crew members sustained minor injuries.”
Soon-to-be President Donald Trump has talked about getting rid of the U.S. income tax and replacing it with a system of tariffs. He has come under heavy criticism from Democrats and many economists. But average Americans appear to like the idea, with a plurality favoring Trump’s idea, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The December online I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,441 adults across the country the following question: “President Trump has talked about replacing the income tax with tariffs (taxes on selected imports). Would you support or oppose such a move?” The poll has a margin error of +/-2.6 percentage points.
Former President Clinton Hospitalized

Those of us gray-haired folks who were around and watching politics in the '90s remember Bill Clinton, the first Baby Boomer president, as a young chief executive. Clinton was the third-youngest president to assume office at 46 years old, beaten in that record only by John F. Kennedy and Theodore Roosevelt. But time marches on for us all; now former President Clinton is 78 years old and has had some health issues. On Monday, he was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for testing after developing a fever.. Clinton, 78, "has been admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for testing and observation after developing a fever," said Angel Ureña,
President Joe Biden's 11th hour commutations for 37 federal death row inmates, many of them who raped and murdered children, are not going over well.
"37 murders are spared the death sentence in yet another desperate act of outgoing president Joe Biden trying to get some media and left-wing approval. They include some of the most heinous of double and triple murders," Democratic pollster Mark Penn posted on X. "Would he have done this with an election pending? Of course not. He had four years to do this if believed it was the right thing to do as crime and murders spiked from before Covid.
Iran, the ninth-largest oil producer in the world, doesn't have enough energy to keep the lights on or the factories humming — and that's just one element of the country's growing polycrisis.
"The country was virtually shut down to save energy" for most of last week, according to a weekend report in the New York Times. Even President Masoud Pezeshkian can't hide the scope of the country's energy troubles. "We are facing very dire imbalances in gas, electricity, energy, water, money, and environment," he admitted in a live TV address this month. "All of them are at a level that could turn into a crisis."

President-elect Donald Trump has reignited his ambition for U.S. ownership and control of Greenland, declaring it an “absolute necessity” for national security and global freedom.
This renewed interest, first expressed during his initial term, was announced alongside his selection of PayPal co-founder Ken Howery as the U.S. ambassador to Denmark.
In a statement released on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
I am pleased to announce Ken Howery as my choice for United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. Ken is a World renowned entrepreneur, investor, and public servant, who served our Nation brilliantly during my First Term as U.S. Ambassador to Sweden,
