Biden releases Chinese prisoner arrested with 47,000 child sex abuse images

President Joe Biden has commuted the sentence of a Chinese national convicted of possessing child pornography after 47,000 files of child pornography were found on the man’s computer. The commutation was part of a prison swap between the United States and China. This comes as the Biden White House announced its “largest single-day grant of clemency” in America

According to the Financial Times, three Chinese nationals were part of a prisoner swap between China and the US last month. Two of these foreign nationals were convicted of espionage while the third pleaded guilty in 2021 to child pornography charges after 47,000 files of child sexual abuse material were found on his computer, per the Dallas Morning News.  

Jin Shanlin was set free in the uncommon prisoner swap and during his Texas trial, an FBI agent testified that his family was “connected to influential members of the Communist party in China.” 

Shanlin had been convicted and was sentenced to 97 months in prison with five years of supervised release, according to the grant of clemency issued by the Biden administration on November 22. Police found the child sex abuse material on Shanlin’s computer when they raided his home, and the material included “videos involving infants and toddlers.” 

When Shanlin was released, Chinese foreign ministry representative Mao Ning said, “This once again demonstrates that China will never abandon its compatriots under any circumstances, and the motherland will always be their strong support.” 

The two spies Xu Yanjun and Ji Chaoqun were convicted on charges related to espionage. Ji had been sentenced to 8 years in prison and had been caught trying to gather defense technology for China’s state department with Xu as a co-conspirator.

Biden Admin Auctions Off Unused Border Wall Sections Ahead of Trump Inauguration

Massive sections of steel bollard fencing, originally intended to construct the incoming Trump administration’s border wall, are reportedly being sold off by the Biden administration.

Footage obtained from a Border Patrol agent by The Daily Wire Thursday showed big rigs hauling numerous large, nearly 33-foot-long segments of steel fencing out of a location near Tucson, Arizona, and taking them to an auction lot.

“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the unnamed CBP officer told the Wire, adding, “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”

On the government auction site GovPlanet.com, numerous 5-piece 32.91′ foot-high, 7.91′ foot-wide sections of wall are being sold at a starting bid of $5.

There’s More… House Judiciary GOP Releases Damning Report on How the Biden’s Federal Government Weaponized the ‘Bank Secrecy Act’ to Spy on Americans

In a damning new report released by the House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Republicans claim the federal government has transformed the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) into a tool for spying on Americans.

The Gateway Pundit first reported on this investigation on Monday.

The report alleges that federal law enforcement agencies under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, including the FBI, have turned financial institutions into de facto arms of the government, bypassing legal safeguards to obtain sensitive financial data.

Using Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs), federal agencies have accessed millions of financial records without probable cause or warrants.

The GOP-led investigation found that millions of these reports are filed annually, with nearly 4.6 million SARs submitted in 2023 alone.

What’s more alarming is the scope of access. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) allows over 25,000 government officials to access sensitive financial data without a warrant.

Documents uncovered by the committee show that, in 2023, federal agencies ran over 3.3 million searches in FinCEN’s database—equivalent to 9,000 warrantless searches per day.

Laughable: Biden Claims Trump Is Inheriting A Strong Economy

During a speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. Tuesday, Joe Biden claimed that the US economy has been a “success” under his administration.

“Most economists agree the new administration is going to inherit a fairly strong economy,” Biden ridiculously claimed.

He added, “It is my profound hope that the new administration will preserve and build on this progress.”

What the hell is he talking about?

The Real Scandal of Hunter‘s Pardon

Politicians and pundits spent much of last week commenting on President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter for lying on a federal gun purchase form, failing to pay taxes, and any other offenses he may have committed over the past decade. Much of the controversy is because President Biden repeatedly pledged that he would never pardon his son.

Some have also observed that the pardon’s timeline starts the year Hunter Biden joined the board of the Ukraine energy company Burisma. This has led to speculation that President Biden is trying to block any investigation into links between his son’s business dealings and President Biden’s Ukraine policy.

What has not been widely discussed is the fact that Hunter Biden may be the only American President Biden has pardoned for violating unconstitutional federal gun and drug laws.

Hunter Biden was convicted of lying on federal Form 4473. This is a form Americans must fill out to get federal government “permission” to purchase a firearm. Specifically, Hunter Biden gave a false answer to the question, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”

The Second Amendment forbids the federal government from limiting the ability of any American to exercise his natural right to own a firearm. Furthermore, federal drug laws are themselves unconstitutional.

The Constitution only creates three federal crimes: treason, piracy, and counterfeiting. All other crimes are under the jurisdiction of state and local governments. So, the required use of this form is a constitutional violation of the rights of Hunter Biden and all other Americans who are subjected to it when they seek to obtain a gun.

Bidenomics: A Million Fewer Native-Born U.S. Workers Since Last Year

Just between November 2023 and November 2024, more than one million fewer native-born Americans were employed. The Biden-Harris economy is horrible for American citizens, and all the net job growth so touted by Democrats has gone to foreign-born workers, including an unknown number of illegal aliens.

Thank God Donald Trump is coming back into office, because American workers badly need a president and administration interested in protecting and promoting their interests rather than in bringing in the largest number of illegal aliens willing to work for low wages. Job numbers for November 2024 have come out from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and they tell a sobering tale about how American workers have actually lost jobs, not gained them, in total contradiction of Democrat propaganda.

Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni shared a chart from the BLS on Dec. 6, explaining, “There are now 1.1 million fewer native-born Americans employed than a year ago; all net job growth has gone to foreign-born workers, totally just over 400k since Nov ’23”. The BLS chart shows the major drop for “Native Born” workers and the rise in “Foreign Born” workers’ employment.

Journo Mark Halperin Calls Coverup of Biden’s Mental Decline ‘One of the Biggest Scandals in American History’

Journalist Mark Halperin said the Democrat Party and media’s coverup of Joe Biden’s mental decline over the years was “one of the biggest scandals” in US history.

Halperin told Fox News host Jesse Watters on Friday that the Democrats and legacy media knew of Biden’s declining mental acuity for years but dared not talk about for fear of helping Donald Trump get elected.

“But I will say that the donors and the Democratic officials who are now so outraged about the conduct, as you said, the press knew all this, so did they,” Halperin said. “They stood silent when Joe Biden’s operatives crushed Bobby Kennedy and Dean Phillips and rigged the rules. They stood silent as he stayed in the race and decided he was going to run for another term. They stood silent when Kamala Harris was given the nomination without a shot being fired.”

Biden White House Worked Directly with the City of Chicago to Place Immigrants Across the State While Leaving Homeless Chicagoans to Freeze

A recent FOIA request made by Terry Newsome of Behind Enemy Lines revealed that the Biden White House worked directly with the City of Chicago placing immigrants.

Throughout an email chain of 207 pages, City of Chicago officials, FEMA representatives, and a Special Assistant to the President of the United States discuss different locations for placing immigrants across the State of Illinois.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that FEMA had awarded approximately $20 million to the City of Chicago for food service contractors to feed illegal immigrants.

The award timeframe was from October 2022 to December 2024. This article also details the City of Chicago’s ‘Vendor Payments – New Arrivals Mission’ webpage detailing the $574.5 million that has been spent on the immigrant crisis thus far.

It’s relevant to note that the recent trove of FOIA emails between the White House, city officials, and FEMA reference an amount of $20 million being released from an embargo.

This could be the amount that was allocated to food services. However, the recent email chain only discusses placing immigrants in facilities, warming and transporting them in buses, and reports a detailed census on the new arrivals.

Given the context of the recent email chain, it’s plausible that the $20 million referenced could be in addition to the food services funds and reserved for these location and transportation services.

It has been established that the Federal Government has not only allowed the immigrant invasion at the border, but it has also funded it with tax dollars.

It is not surprising that distrust in government is at an all-time high. While Americans in Florida and North Carolina suffer from hurricane fallout, non-citizens are reaping the benefits of shelter, food, clothing, and cell phones.

Most egregious, the unit of government designated to deal with Emergency Response – FEMA – is funding the care for the illegal immigrants.

In other words, the government intentionally created an emergency of illegal immigration, diverted funds away from tax paying Americans who need emergency response, and applied them to non-citizens.

Things get more interesting as Special Assistant to the President of the United States, Molly Ritner, enters the scene.

City of Chicago officials had requested information from the White House on available Federal sites for housing illegals. Special Assistant Ritner provides the following:

“32 federal sites across the State of Illinois were identified as having vacant space — this included review of potential space across federal agencies including DOD.”

The Biden Family of Liars

With his shocking presidential pardon of his son Hunter, announced Thanksgiving weekend, when the maximum number of Americans would be watching football games and consuming potato chips, Joe Biden goes out just as he was the whole of his tatty career as a politician — a self-serving fiddler, indifferent to democratic process, ever going against his word. 

Peter Baker, that inimitable (thank goodness) clerk The New York Times posts as its chief White House correspondent, tells us in Wednesday’s editions, “We don’t really know how history will remember Joe Biden. It’s too early to say, obviously.”

Actually, we really know at this point. Obviously.

Much has been made of Biden as the family man torn between his duties as president and his compassion for an errant son as the victim of perverted justice. The Times unfolded a singular line of argument on Tuesday.

“President Biden was deeply concerned,” Katie Rogers and Glenn Thrush reported, “that legal problems would push his son into a relapse after years of sobriety, and he began to realize there might not be any way out beyond issuing a pardon.”

No other way out. Here we have Joe Biden pimping the helpless suffering of his son’s addictions (to alcohol and crack). It is of a piece with Biden’s very regular references, always for similar political advantage, to the death of his other son, Beau, and the earlier deaths of his first wife and daughter. 

The Rogers and Thrush piece now passes for news reporting Americans are invited to take seriously. It is one among countless others of its kind and quality that are together a measure of how the corruptions of the Bidens, father and son as well as others, have deepened an already severe crisis in American media and turned public discourse into bad afternoon television.  

The reporting on the pardon has been defective since the White House released the Executive Grant of Clemency, along with Biden’s official statement, last Sunday. The Times, The Washington Post, the other major dailies and the broadcast networks all reported as if in unison that Joe Biden’s motivating concerns were the guilty verdicts Hunter Biden faces on gun-possession and tax-evasion charges.

Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced later this month. Biden père has told the nation his intent was simply to protect Hunter from a judicial system that political antagonists had unduly politicized. 

From the president’s statement:

“The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room—with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.  

No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong.” 

You read a statement such as this and you have to wonder whether Joe Biden is capable of speaking truthfully in any circumstance bearing upon his personal interests.

Biden Appointed Justice: Banning Child Sex Changes Is Like Banning Interracial Marriage 

Biden’s Supreme Court Justice pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the one who can’t describe what a woman is, has argued that banning sex changes on children is akin to banning interracial marriages.

The Supreme Court is currently addressing a case concerning the constitutionality of a Tennessee law banning puberty blockers and hormone therapy for ‘transgender’ identifying children that was enacted last year.

Jackson confronted Tennessee Solicitor General Matt Rice, who was defending the law, by citing an old case regarding the state of Virginia banning interracial marriage. She then argued that somehow this can be compared to gender reassignment surgery on kids. 

“The question was whether this was discriminatory because it applied to both races,” Jackson said.

“But as I read the statute here, I mean the case here, it states that Virginia is one of the states that punishes marriages on the basis of race,” she continued.
