Trump erases ‘Bidenbucks’ and taxpayer-funded leftist voter registration drives

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist “Bidenbucks” was technically dead on arrival on President Donald Trump’s first day in office, but the election-influencing executive order that Trump’s predecessor signed nearly four years ago will take diligence to fully kill. As David Craig, legal director for the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), told The Federalist, Biden’s order “has substantial tentacles across government.” FGA has been on the frontlines of the battle against Bidenbucks since the executive order’s inception at the beginning of Biden’s term. “The head is cut off the snake but the body continues to slither,” Craig said, noting how deeply embedded Bidenbucks is in every agency, each teeming with left-leaning bureaucrats.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALI...

Republicans, led by Texas Rep. Chip Roy, move to repeal the act Biden used to jail peaceful pro-lifers

By Jordan Boyd | The Federalist Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, with the support of 25 Republican cosponsors, reintroduced legislation on Tuesday that seeks to prevent the political prosecution of peaceful pro-lifers by repealing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Congress first passed the FACE Act in 1994. It was at the direction of President Joe Biden after the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision nearly two decades later, however, that the FBI and Department of Justice started to arrest and hand down uncharacteristically harsh sentences to dozens of people, many Christians, who peacefully protested ending life in the womb. “Americans just spent the last four years being targeted by a weaponized justice system. The FACE Act was one of the primary ...

Trump yanks security clearances of intel officials who spread disinformation about Hunter Biden’s laptop

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday night revoking the security clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who falsely claimed emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian “disinformation” to help Joe Biden’s 2020 election prospects. The directive also pulls the security clearance of John Bolton, who served as national security advisor in Trump’s first term. “To remedy these abuses of the public trust, this Order directs the revocation of any active or current security clearances held by: (i) the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign; and (ii) John R. Bolton,” the order reads. The infamous Oct. 19, 2020, let...

Trump grants sweeping clemency for Jan. 6 political prisoners after Biden pardons family

By Tristan Justice | The Federalist President Donald Trump pardoned nearly every defendant charged with crimes related to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 after his predecessor issued pre-emptive pardons for the rest of the Biden family moments before leaving office. The freshly inaugurated president delivered the pardons in one of his first acts upon his triumphant return to the Oval Office. The executive order granted “full, complete, and unconditional pardons” to roughly 1,500 people and commuted the sentences of another 14. The total number of defendants charged is 1,583, according to The Hill. “What they’ve done to these people is outrageous,” Trump said at the White House as he signed a pile of orders across the Resolute Desk READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST...

Garland seeks to trample Americans’ due process rights to get Trump

By Margot Cleveland | The Federalist The release of the special counsel report by the attorney general would severely prejudice the due process rights of the individuals identified in that report, a brief filed late Saturday in a Florida federal court argued. All eyes now rest on Judge Aileen Cannon’s docket to see how she responds to this weekend’s bombshell filing. The flurry of court filings began exactly one week ago when Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira filed two emergency motions to enjoin the release of the special counsel’s report. Special Counsel Jack Smith had indicted Nauta, De Oliveira, and Trump in the Southern District of Florida for alleged crimes related to Trump’s retention of classified documents.  Last year, presiding judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charge...

Eight bombshell findings in Florida’s grand jury report on big pharma’s Covid shots

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist On Tuesday, a Florida grand jury released its final report on potential “criminal or wrongful activity” regarding the creation and promotion of the Covid jabs. Requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and authorized by the Florida Supreme Court in December 2022, the grand jury was tasked with looking into whether individuals and entities, “including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations” possibly violated state law related to the development, clinical testing, and marketing of the mRNA shots. The jury previously released interim reports in February and May 2024, respectively, which undercut much of the ps...

Davidson: The legacy of Jan. 6 should be massive reform of the FBI and DOJ

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist Monday marked the four-year anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, when tens of thousands of peaceful Trump supporters demonstrated outside the U.S. Capitol and a small number of them clashed with police before entering the Capitol itself. For Democrats and the left, Jan. 6 is the events that vindicates their hatred of Donald Trump and his supporters. They would have us believe it was among the darkest days in our nation’s history, when democracy itself hung in the balance and violent insurrectionists nearly prevented the peaceful transfer of power. Many of them actually believe and still repeat, as Sen. Amy Klobuchar did on Monday, that pro-Trump rioters killed police officers on Jan. 6. Above all, they insist that President Trump was...

Cleveland: Efforts to sentence Trump in sham NY criminal case confirm Democrats’ crazy lawfare

By Margot Cleveland | Commentary, The Federalist The state court judge presiding over the New York criminal case against Donald Trump ordered sentencing of the president-elect to proceed on January 10, 2025. By setting sentencing a mere 10 days before his inauguration, and by signaling his intent to sentence the soon-to-be president to an unconditional discharge, the judge has unwittingly conceded the indictment of Trump on 34-felony counts was pure lawfare. On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan entered an 18-page order denying Trump’s motion to vacate the jury verdict and to dismiss the criminal charges Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought against him with the help of several Biden-connected lawyers. Quoting the words President Biden used in pardoning Hunter for any crimes his so...

Lyman: Here’s who Biden’s FBI decided to persecute rather than hunt down real terrorists

By Brianna Lyman | Commentary, The Federalist Imagine how much worse Wednesday’s deadly event would have been had the FBI not taken dangerous grandmothers off the street? Early Wednesday morning, a radical Islamic terrorist drove his truck through a crowd of people celebrating the start of the new year in New Orleans. Fifteen people were murdered and more than 35 injured. But maybe this tragedy could have been avoided if the FBI spent less time targeting parents, Catholics and countless other dissidents and instead focused its resources on catching actual  terrorists. Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed through a crowd in his Ford F-150 Lightning EV truck draped with an ISIS flag before shooting at police officers, who fatally shot Jabbar. Jabbar “recently converted to Islam” and ...

China rapidly builds up weapons and psychological warfare operations

By Chuck DeVore | The Federalist China’s military buildup and cognitive warfare strategy are clear indications of its intent to defeat the U.S. and its allies by any means necessary. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is undertaking an unprecedented military buildup aimed at challenging America and its allies, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. And, like Nazi Germany’s buildup in the 1930s, the militarization program ordered by the Chinese Communist Party isn’t simply a great power buildup — it’s a weapon in service of a deadly ideology. The 2024 Department of Defense China Military Power Report and recent analysis by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times reveal this buildup as part of a broader strategy by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to position itself as a global superpower....
