Kittle: Check yourself, PolitiFact. Here are the biggest ‘Lies of the Year’

By M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist I can only imagine how much delusion filled the room of the PolitiFact “brainstorming” session to choose the “winning” selection of its latest “Lie of the Year.” Bonchie at RedState nailed it with a post on X musing about what the meeting must have looked like through the eyes of a fresh-faced intern yet to realize that PolitiFact is nothing more than a leftist propaganda operation.  READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE FEDERALIST

Where is Joe? White House pressed on Biden not speaking publicly ahead of shutdown

By Fox News A reporter pressed the White House Friday on why President Biden has not been speaking publicly as government shutdown is now just hours away.  “Why hasn’t President Biden said anything in the public about this? Don't the American people deserve to know why millions of federal workers could enter this holiday period without a paycheck?” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Friday during her daily press briefing.  “All Americans need to know that Republicans are getting in the way here, and they are the ones who have created this mess. That's the reality. That's the fact,” she responded. “This is not the first time we've been here. And the president has had this approach before. He understands how Congress works. He's been around ...

White House aides finally reveal who really ran the country as Biden slid into mental incompetence

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller With President Joe Biden’s time in office winding down, dozens of those close to his operations over the years told The Wall Street Journal how aides insulated the 82-year-old and handled his responsibilities as concerns of his fitness increased. President-elect Donald Trump’s domination of the news cycle since winning the 2024 election has allowed Biden to fade from the national politics scene. But since the 82-year-old dropped out of the presidential race, questions about his physical state, how long the president had been declining and how it was being handled, have remained unanswered. The WSJ interviewed nearly 50 people who have been close to Biden throughout his administration and they detail how staff handled cabinet officials, presidential resp...

Report details cover-up of Joe Biden’s health: ‘Joe was senile from Day 1 of presidency’

By KATELYN CARALLE and CHARLIE SPIERING | Daily Mail The White House tried to hide from the public Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency, according to a bombshell report.   Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days', and kept him at arm's length him from his own Cabinet members. An explosive investigation by The Wall Street Journal has exposed an extensive, deliberate and years-long cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president.

Trump says Biden’s border wall sale is ‘almost a criminal act,’ will seek restraining order

By Spencer Lindquist | Daily Wire President-elect Donald Trump tore into the Biden Administration for selling off parts of the border wall following an exclusive Daily Wire investigation, charging that it is “almost a criminal act” and also that he intends to seek a restraining order. Trump made the statement after a Daily Wire investigation revealed that the Biden administration was selling off portions of the border wall in public auctions, with a goal of unloading the border wall before Trump takes office in January. One Republican Senator found that the administration was recouping just 0.2% of the original cost of the wall material to taxpayers. “The administration is trying to sell it for five cents on the dollar knowing that we’re getting ready to put it...

Denver man among 39 to receive pardon from President Biden, 1,500 receive commutations

By Morgan Whitley | Fox 31 News President Joe Biden is commuting 1,500 sentences and pardoning 39 Americans, including a Colorado man, in what is now the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history. A White House lawyer said the people who were pardoned by Biden were convicted of nonviolent crimes, such as drug offenses, and turned their lives around. A president has the power to both pardon, in which a person is relieved of guilt and punishment, or commute a sentence, which reduces or eliminates the punishment but doesn’t exonerate the wrongdoing. It’s customary for a president to grant mercy at the end of his term, using the power of the office to wipe away records or end prison terms. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 NEWS

In Western Slope café, Coloradans react to pardon of Hunter Biden by his father, President Biden

By Jen Schumann | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The announcement of Hunter Biden’s pardon from his father, President Joe Biden, raised eyebrows nationwide. And, in Mesa County, it has launched endless questions about the integrity of the justice system. In a Grand Junction café, the coffee comes with political conversations that reflect the deep skepticism of federal leadership. Residents here are watching closely and their reactions highlight a range of concerns, from distrust in government promises to broader questions about fairness in the justice system. For Gerald Gustin, a U.S. Navy veteran, the pardon marked a clear departure from assurances made by the White House: “Karine Jean-Pierre said multiple times it wouldn’t happen. And yet, here we are,” he said, referencing...

Raleigh: By pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden gave himself a pass

By Helen Raleigh | Commentary, Helen Raleigh Substack By pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden gave himself a pass for being a failed parent and a corrupt politician. My dad always tells me he loves me unconditionally, but that doesn't mean he will co-sign all my behaviors. One of the fundamental responsibilities of a parent is to teach your child right from wrong, and sometimes such teaching involves discipline, which we commonly refer to as tough love. Hebrews 12:11 reminds all parents, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those trained by it." Where Biden failed as a parent is that he either didn't understand or was unwilling to practice tough love. Instead, he equated co-signing H...

Colorado GOP petitioning Trump to ‘revoke and rescind illegal pardon’

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The Colorado Republican Party is petitioning President-elect Donald J. Trump to revoke and rescind the pardon of Hunter Biden, issued Sunday by his father, President Joe Biden. In a link shared through Twitter on the party's official account, Republicans are asked to sign the petition requesting Trump "revoke and rescind the portions of this pardon that are illegal and unconstitutional after he is sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025." The webpage includes an image of the pardon with Joe Biden's signature. "Joe Biden issued a far sweeping and, quite frankly, illegal pardon for his criminal son Hunter Biden," the webpage begins. "This is not only a clear and corrupt conflict of interest that highlights the double standards of radical Democrats and the...

‘Most corrupt and partisan President our nation has ever seen’

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The question 4th District U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, once popularly asked was "Where's Hunter?" Now, the nation and his successor, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Windsor, want to know "Why Hunter?" The troubled son of the President, Hunter Biden was given a pardon by Joe Biden on Sunday, an erasure of his litany of criminal wrongdoings. It was not accompanied by pardons for Jan. 6 protesters, Julian Assange or even for Donald J. Trump -- just for his son, Hunter. https://twitter.com/GunOwners/status/1863386274670735575 "Joe Biden is the most corrupt and partisan President our nation has ever seen," Boebert started a Twitter/X post on Tuesday. A pardon which absolves Hunter of any criminal dilemma of the past 10 years -- a time in whi...
