CNN Correspondent Says the Quiet Part Out Loud – Admits Hunter Was Pardoned Out of Fear His Family Would Be Investigated by Trump

Jeff Zeleny, Chief National Affairs Correspondent from CNN, said the quiet part out loud on Sunday night after news broke that Joe Biden had granted Hunter Biden a blanket pardon for any criminal acts he partook in from 2014 to present including, trading influence for cash, trafficking prostitutes, and taking on the role of the Biden Family bagman.

Jeff Zeleny: We were told that this came to a head this weekend, and this is why President Biden decided now to do this. But as Isaac was just saying, that really is a sense of the conversation that has been going on really inside the family.

I’m told this has been very much a family discussion and something that has been not widely shared or discussed as a policy matter inside the West Wing.

But there was a worry of future prosecutions or future the potential of what the incoming Trump Justice Department could do.

So that, of course, is fretted in all of this as well.

But for now, this moment, this certainly is a decision that President Biden, I’m guessing, did not come too easily. But as you played that statement before, so much has changed since June when he told David Muir of ABC News that he would not do that.

Of course, his station in life has changed. Did not complete his campaign. So that is why, leading up to this, that’s why I’m told a decision was reached finally this weekend after spending time together in Nantucket.

Speculation Rages That Biden Pardoned Hunter to Protect Himself

People responded to President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden by speculating that Hunter had threatened to divulge sensitive information about his own father if his sentences were not commuted.

After repeatedly denying that he would pardon his son for gun and tax evasion convictions, Biden did a 180 and announced Hunter Biden would be pardoned.

“There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution,” Biden wrote in a statement.

“In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough,” he added.

However, as soon the news was announced, speculation raged as to what made Biden change his mind.

The Madness of King Joe: The Second Anti-Trump Insurrection Is Now Underway

There’s a curious story in the Book of Daniel about a “mad king.” Widely considered to be Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, this poor, suffering despot destroyed Jerusalem, bragged that he “finally beat Medicare,” and then went bats**t crazy for seven years. (Well, one of those anecdotes is untrue.) 

Daniel 4:33 detailed how Nebuchadnezzar II went so cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, he “ate grass like an ox” — ironclad proof, of course, that God Almighty says only lunatics are vegetarians.

Fortunately, after seven long years, Nebuchadnezzar II (his friends called him Nebby) had his sanity restored. Instead of eating grass, he went back to eating porkchops, or whatever. A happy ending: Ol’ Nebby was better than ever!

And he never ate a salad again. (I assume.)

But the greater historical record is largely devoid of loony-tune leaders. Sure, there was the much-ballyhooed “madness” of King George III, and numerous kings, queens, and emperors who were renowned for their various eccentricities. But out-and-out senile or clear-cut crazy? 

Not very often.

Mostly because senile, crazy leaders tended to be “removed” before they went too senile or got too crazy.

It’s called regicide: The murder of royalty. In fact, our constitutional precept of presidential impeachment directly stems from regicide. Since it was our Creator — and not the state — that endowed us with “certain unalienable rights,” we therefore have a God-given right to wage war and depose monarchs who’d deprive us of these rights. As Ben Franklin pointed out, impeachment was certainly preferable to regicide, which rendered the ex-ruler “not only deprived of his life but of the opportunity of vindicating his character.”

HBO’s “Game of Thrones” might’ve botched the landing, but its general conceit was correct: Claiming a throne requires luck, skill, and the happenstance of birth, but keeping the throne takes intelligence, shrewdness, and strategic planning.

An unworthy monarch is not long for the world.

LIAR: Biden Goes Back on His Word, Pardons Idiot Son, Hunter Biden

He promised he wouldn’t do it. He swore up and down that it would never happen.

But then again, he also said that Trump was Hitler, Americans were garbage, and MAGA was an existential threat to democracy. (Also, he’s “sharp as a tack.”)

Another day, another Biden lie: It was announced on Sunday evening that President Biden would go back on his word and issue a full, unconditional pardon to his idiot kid, Hunter Biden. In his words:

I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.

But that’s not what Joe Biden told us before.

“With regards to the question regarding my family,” President Biden said in June, “I’m extremely proud of my son, Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He has. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know. And I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything. I said, I said I’d abide by the jury decision. I will do that, and I will not pardon him.” [emphasis added] 

In fact, President Biden piously told ABC’s David Muir (who proved his own impartiality two months later in that ridiculous three-on-one ABC News presidential “debate”) that the Democrats’ acceptance of America’s unassailable, apolitical legal system is what differentiates him from the scary Orange Monster: Democrats believe in the rule of law. Republicans don’t.

“[Trump]’s trying to undermine it,” Biden declared. “He got a fair trial. The jury spoke.”

Throughout 2024, the message was consistent: Absolutely no pardon for Hunter Biden. Not now, not ever. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly told the media, “I’ve been very clear; the president is not going to pardon his son.”

Even after Hunter Biden was convicted — but before the election in November — the president was steadfast: “I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the juridical process as Hunter considers an appeal.” 

And not just Joe Biden: “Doctor” Jill Biden said it, too. “Joe and I both respect the judicial system, and that’s the bottom line.”

Fauci’s New Paper On COVID Falsely Claims Trump Told People To Inject Bleach, Promotes “Natural Origin” Of Covid

It seems that Dr. Anthony Fauci has published a new scientific paper titled, HIV/AIDS and Covid-19: Shared Lessons From Two Pandemics, in which he shares eight lessons learned from the pandemics to help minimize the impact of future outbreaks.

The first lesson is simply to expect the unexpected.

The second lesson is that political leadership at the highest level is critical in pandemics. Fauci uses this lesson to dunk on President Trump for “minimizing the seriousness of the pandemic” and “repeatedly claiming COVID-19 would just go away.”

Fauci goes on to knock Trump for not pushing masks and social distancing enough from his “bully pulpit” even though there was no science to support these recommendations.

He blames Trump for giving “credence” to “unproven and potentially dangerous substances” to treat covid, like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin… two safe and effective drugs that proved to be incredibly helpful, and even life-saving for many.

Fauci also repeats the false narrative that Trump told people to inject bleach to treat covid.

Trump had actually referenced a study that was shared with him by William Bryan, then the undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security. The study found disinfectants, like bleach, used on surfaces and in aerosols had an adverse effect on coronavirus. So Trump asked whether disinfectants could be used to potentially treat COVID, which seems a far cry from “giving credence” to bleach injections.

An interesting side note is that the CDC’s Pink Book reveals at least one effective disinfectant (formaldehyde) is used in 28 different vaccines (e.g., DTaP, Hib, Hep A, Hep B, Influenza).

US Military Supplier Accuses Ukraine’s Police and Ministry of Defense of Corruption

Sinclair & Wilde, which supplies military uniforms to Ukraine, has accused the country’s National Police and Ministry of Defense of corruption and extortion over unpaid equipment. The company made the claim in an open letter posted by BGD Legal & Consulting, its official representative.

“Sinclair & Wilde categorically denies the false and baseless claims made in the recently released video by the National Police Force of Ukraine [which alleges illegitimate price hikes by the US firm]. It is clear that the release of this story is an attempt by the National Police Force to cover up their own internal corruption and the corruption of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in its continued attempts to deny payment to Sinclair & Wilde after it repeatedly refused to pay bribes requested of it,” the letter states.

Sinclair & Wilde signed five contracts with Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense for military uniforms. The company reportedly agreed to delay a $12.5 million payment on the fifth contract until the equipment was delivered. However, Ukraine purportedly later refused to pay both the fifth contract and the outstanding debt from the first one, despite receiving the goods.

Do We Still Have to Pretend the 2020 Election Was ‘Free and Fair’?

The 2020 Presidential election shared a problem with the 1998 MLB home run race: the winning candidate did too well. In 1998, steroid juicer Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris’s home run record by nine home runs or roughly 15 percent.

In 2020, Joe Biden’s 81 million votes broke Barack Obama’s 2008 record 69 million votes by 12 million votes or roughly 17 percent. Obama’s 2008 numbers were anomalous. Hillary Clinton’s 2016 numbers were closer to the norm, and Biden got nearly 25 percent more votes than she did, a cool 16 million additional votes when finally counted.

Campaigning from his basement, this cognitively-challenged, charisma-free codger did much too well in 2020, and now even the Left is noticing. With virtually all the 2024 presidential election votes counted, Kamala Harris’s vote total remains roughly seven million votes shy of Biden’s ballot box-busting performance in 2020.

In trying to explain the differential, Michael Bender of the New York Times hinted at the truth. Wrote Bender, “[S]ome backsliding could be expected after the record turnout in 2020, which was aided by pandemic rule changes that increased mail voting.” You think?

As should be expected, Bender chose not to pursue this line of thinking to its natural end. If he had, he might have asked why only the Democrats seemed to have been aided in 2020 “by pandemic rule changes.” President-elect Donald Trump did not “backslide” in 2024. He upped his 2020 vote total by about two million.

In 2024, with life back to something like normal, Harris was denied the performance-enhancing juice that propelled Biden in 2020. That juice was formidable. The convenient arrival of COVID gave the Democrats a rationale for dismantling the safeguards against voter fraud in state after state.

Some 39 states changed their election laws prior to the 2020 election. That was unprecedented. What was unconstitutional was that many of them did so without legislative approval. In several states, the courts, electoral officials, and health honchos exploited the media-driven COVID panic to assume this right for themselves. The Republicans responded with lawsuits, but the courts could not or would not respond in a timely fashion.

NYT & Bloomberg Bury Rutgers Study Showing DEI Makes People Hostile

Corporate media outlets have buried, downplayed, or otherwise shelved a new study which reveals that “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) policies cause people to become ‘hostile’ – essentially seeing racism where none exists.

The new study from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University found that people exposed to DEI talking points about race, religion and gender form integroup hostility and authoritarian attitudes towards others.

“What we did was we took a lot of these ideas that were found to still be very prominent in a lot of these DEI lectures and interventions and training,” said NCRI Chief Science Officer Joel Finkelstein, a co-author of the study. “And we said, ‘Well, how is this going to affect people?’ What we found is that when people are exposed to this ideology, what happens is they become hostile without any indication that anything racist has happened.“

Researchers exposed 324 participants to two sets of reading material; a racially-neutral text about corn, or the writings of race-baiters Ibram X. Kendi or Robin DiAngelo. The participants were then exposed to a racially neutral scenario in which a student was rejected from college.

Biden DOJ Seeks To Gag Texas Doctor Who Blew Whistle On Child Trans Surgeries

Federal prosecutors seek to silence Eithan Haim and his attorneys after they exposed major problems in the Biden Administration’s criminal targeting of the Dallas surgeon who blew the whistle on the mutilation of minors.

Last week, federal prosecutors filed a Motion to Gag both Dr. Haim and the lawyers defending him against criminal charges the Department of Justice filed against the Texas physician in May 2024. The Biden Administration indicted Dr. Haim on spurious grounds after he leaked evidence a year earlier to journalist Christopher Rufo that the Texas Children’s Hospital was removing the healthy breasts and genitals of children. 

Currently, Dr. Haim faces five criminal counts of violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, brought by a Second Superseding Indictment. Federal prosecutors filed a Second Superseding Indictment after the first two indictments against Haim included glaring mistakes — ones Haim and his counsel pointed out in various X posts.

Those posts caught the ire of the Department of Justice, with the federal prosecutors arguing in their Motion to Gag  that the posts on X “could interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the Government or the administration of justice because they discuss and characterize the substance of pretrial proceedings that would ordinarily be excluded from consideration by the jury, and disparage the prosecutors and the case in inflammatory language.” 

To support the motion, government lawyers filed two exhibits, including various threads posted on X, but inexplicably filed the materials under seal even though the posts appeared on the social media platform. That prompted the should-be-satirical-but-isn’t news aggregator, Not the Bee, to file a Motion to Intervene and Motion to Unseal. In addition to the two sealed exhibits of X posts, Not the Bee also sought the unsealing of two other court filings, one providing notice of an intent to seek a Second Superseding Indictment and the second related to the withdrawal of an Assistant U.S. Attorney from the case.

Long-time federal judge David Hittner, a Ronald Reagan appointee, denied Not the Bee’s Motion to Intervene, but granted its motion to unseal the filings, revealing the supposedly disparaging and inflammatory language prosecutors claim supports a gag order. 

A review of the various posts, however, shows Dr. Haim and his lawyer merely reiterating the same legal points made in briefing and argument before the court.

When Israel Hired Ex-Nazi Officers

“Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”

A few months ago, on the way home from the university, I found a folder with this motto in my mailbox, the motto of the Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency. It was a drab-looking government envelope, the sort one might expect to receive from the municipality or the tax authorities. For me, however, it was supposed to contain the answer to a riddle I had pondered for almost four years. Since I began my work on the book “Fugitives: A History of Nazi Mercenaries During the Cold War,” I was fascinated, yet troubled, by persistent rumors that the Israeli Mossad worked with former Nazis, among them war criminals, in the context of the Israeli-Arab conflict.

Rumors on this murky subject had in fact been circulating for years. In 1967, the Polish culture minister, Kazimierz Rusinek, declared that “it is no secret, that many Nazi criminals serve the Israeli state and live in its territory. I cannot give you a precise number, but I’m certain that more than [one] thousand professionals of the Nazi Wehrmacht serve as military advisers to the Israeli Army.” This communist propaganda was of course overblown. There were not “one thousand” former Nazis working with Israel, not hundreds and not even dozens. But were there, at least, several?

Later, reporters, not all of them hostile to Israel, mentioned specifically one name: Otto Skorzeny, Hitler’s favorite commando leader. Did Skorzeny, in fact, cooperate with the Mossad in the 1960s, and for how long? And if so, why? Why did Israeli intelligence leaders, some of them Holocaust survivors, agree to bond with him? That was the question that the drab-looking Mossad envelope was supposed to answer.
