Philly DA considers charging freed J6ers at state level

Progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has announced that he is looking into filing state charges against area Jan. 6 defendants who President Donald Trump pardoned. Trump issued the pardon order on Monday, his first day in office. 

Krasner told CNN that after Trump granted pardons and clemency for over 1,500 people involved in the riot at the US Capitol four years ago, “To the extent the federal charges encompass everything we’re talking about, then this argument probably fails. But I am very doubtful that it encompasses everything.” He added, “Those of us who actually believe in the rule of law … intend to preserve the values, traditions, laws, and Constitution of the United States.”

The Democrat said he is investigating if assaults on police or conspiracies involving groups, such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, might fall outside the scope of federal charges and suggested that some actions, including using technology to commit crimes, violating state conspiracy laws, or infringing on state election statutes.

Krasner’s targets might include Zach Rehl, a former leader of the Proud Boys, Ryan Samsel, Phillip and David Walker, Brian Healion, Isaiah Giddings, and Freedom Vy. Rehl, who was released on Tuesday, had been sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in the riot, and was among 14 people whose sentences were commuted by Trump.

Former federal prosecutor and defense attorney David Gelman told the Washington Examiner, “The fact that there is no state action that could possibly take place here makes this a very steep climb.”

According to the outlet, presidential pardons cover federal offenses but not state crimes. Additionally, Krasner could run into constitutional protections against double jeopardy, as occurred when judges cited those protections when ruling during Trump’s first term that the state court couldn’t prosecute Paul Manafort.

Guess Who Elizabeth Warren Blamed for Biden’s Family Pardons?

Elizabeth Warren, everyone’s favorite senator from Massachusetts, appeared on CNN on Monday night to talk about, I don’t know, maybe hunting and gathering? The first Thanksgiving? How the white man drove her from her land?  

But at some point, Anderson Cooper asked her about the familial pardons Joe Biden issued about 15 minutes before leaving the White House and heading off to Shady Pines or wherever they sent him. 

“The last-minute pardons by then President Biden to his family members, you know there were pardons earlier this morning which were reported on, but these last-minute pardons, he chose to, I mean, make it last minute when there wouldn’t be as much attention, obviously, and they wouldn’t kind of overshadow the ride to the capitol — was that a mistake?” Cooper asked. 

Initially, Warren replied with a simple statement: “The president — President Biden — should answer for himself.”  

Fair enough. But she couldn’t leave it at that. Not only did she not leave it for Biden to “answer for himself,” but she also went on to blame someone else for these sneaky, last-minute pardons: Donald Trump. 

Warren explained that poor Biden is just a kind-hearted old family man who had no choice but to make these pardons out of fear that Trump might try to use his sweet little family against him just because Trump doesn’t like him. 

But it’s a sad day in America when someone leaving office has to look around and say, ‘Am I facing a new president and a new administration who is going to come after my family just because they’re my family, that’s gonna come after the people I love just because I love them? Not because they’re accused of any crimes. Not because they’ve done anything wrong. But just because they’re the people I care about.’ And ever since Donald Trump has said a big part of his argument for being president is that it would be about retribution, it would be about vengeance — and he used it today. There he is, making his speech after he’s been inaugurated as president, and it’s still full of how he was wronged and he was the one who was mistreated. Dang, guy, you were just elected president of the United States and just sworn in. Come on, enjoy the moment. But no, it’s about how he has been mistreated and he will get even. That’s not how we run a government and make it work. This is not about personal vengeance. We run a government ot make it work for people. That’s how it’s supposed to be in a democracy.

Oh, come on, Pocahontas. I’m not even sure Cooper was buying your gaslighting. And if that’s the real reason why Biden pardoned his family members, he would have done it loudly and proudly in front of the whole nation to continue his efforts to make Trump look bad, not in some kind of hush-hush last-minute backroom kind of deal. 

Even Hunter Biden was pardoned out in the open, much to the dismay of both Democrats and Republicans. Given that most of us had never even heard some of the rest of these Biden family names, the whole situation left the portion of the country with any brain cells wondering what else this corrupt family was hiding.

Justice! President Trump Revokes Security Clearances of ALL 51 ‘Spies Who Lied’ and Former NSA Advisor John Bolton

Tonight, in his first evening back in the Oval Office, President Trump signed a slew of Executive Orders and commuted the sentences of 14 Jan 6 hostages and pardoned all of the remaining political prisoners from the protests at the US Capitol.

He withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.

He reversed a plethora of Joe Biden’s Executive Orders, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s “Promoting Access to Voting” EO 14019, which allowed all federal agencies to be utilized essentially as voter registration drives.

But perhaps one of the most significant EOs, besides the pardoning of 1500 J6ers, is the “Holding Former Government Officials Accountable For Election Interference and Improper Disclosure of Sensitive Governmental Information.”

The order highlights the 51 former intel officials who coordinated with the Biden campaign to suggest that the Hunter Biden laptop was “a part of a Russian disinformation campaign.”

The letter was in response to the New York Post article written by Miranda Devine that led to widespread censorship on Twitter, now X, Facebook, YouTube that would get you banned for simply mentioning the article in some cases.

Some of the officials that were signatories to that letter held security clearances and maintained ongoing contractual relationships with the CIA.

According to the EO, senior CIA officials were aware of the contents of the letter after it was submitted to the CIA Prepublication Classification.  It was later learned that the FBI at that time had possession of the laptop and had validated its authenticity.

The Left Never Learns: ‘Constitutional Attorney’ Is First to Call for Trump’s Impeachment (Again)

John Bonifaz is the kind of guy who could have answered a casting call for “lunatic leftist who will attempt to resurrect the left’s failed strategies against Trump on his first day back in office.” He says he is the “Co-Founder and President of Free Speech For People,” as well as a “constitutional attorney,” all of which sounds impressive enough if you’re the type who gets impressed by that sort of thing, but which in reality simply confirms that what we have here is someone who has abjectly failed to read the room. He has not realized that the fact that Trump has been impeached twice and has just become president again should tell him that his approach won’t work. Bonifaz also demonstrates that the left hasn’t thought of anything new to do. Its response to Trump 2.0 will be more of the same.

At 12:55 p.m. Eastern Time, not long after Donald Trump took the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States, Bonifaz made his momentous announcement: “BREAKING: We have just launched a new campaign calling for an impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump for offenses he has already committed upon taking the oath. You can access the grounds for this call at http://impeachtrumpagain.org. Join us in this fight for our democracy. @FSFP.” This will, of course, get absolutely nowhere, but it’s nonetheless a glimpse into the hamster-wheel of the left, endlessly repeating the same tired stuff against Trump even though it never gets them anywhere.

MSNBC anchors Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid triggered by Trump inauguration: ‘How is this happening in America?’

Left-wing cable news channel MSNBC is back to foaming at the mouth about Donald Trump.

Anchors Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid went off the deep end while covering Inauguration Day, both aghast at the prospect of a democratically elected president making good on his policy promises that decisively swept him into office.

“How is this happening in America?” Maddow asked incredulously at the sight of Department of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem seated beside Apple CEO Tim Cook at the inauguration ceremony, Mediaite reported.

“How is this happening? Why are people with tons of money up on the dais with cabinet nominees and family members?” she asked, apparently forgetting that billionaires supported former Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.

Elizabeth Warren and Other Democrats Sent Threatening Letters to People Who Donated to Trump’s Inauguration

Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats are now sending threatening letters to people and companies that donated to Trump’s inauguration.

This is from the same party that has spent the last eight years calling Trump a fascist.

You may also recall that they have no problem with contributions like this when they are made to to Democrats, just Trump.

Hot Air reported:

Democrats Now Threatening People Who Donated to Trump’s Inauguration

Democrats are the political equivalent of mafia bosses who basically run protection rackets.

“Nice company you have there. Shame if something happened to it.”

We saw a lot of this behavior over the past few years. One of the techniques used to bully social media companies into censorship was the use of open (and private) threats to use antitrust laws to break up Meta, Twitter, Google and all the tech companies if they did not comply with demands to suppress the speech of conservatives and, frankly, anybody including dissenting Democrats.

Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bennett are trying the same thing by going after people and companies that contributed to the Trump inaugural.

These contributions are standard practice. Obama took millions of dollars from donors, including the companies Warren and Bennet are targeting. So did Joe Biden, even though all the inaugural hoopla was very muted due to insane COVID policies.

‘Occupy Democrats’ Urges Followers to Wear Black on Monday for ‘National Day of Mourning’ Over Trump Inauguration

The popular social media account “Occupy Democrats” has urged its followers to wear black on Monday for a “National Day of Mourning” during the Trump inauguration.

While many groups have tried to organize protests for the inauguration, this weekend’s demonstrations have fallen far short of what they were after his first election.

While thousands joined the “People’s March” on Saturday, a rebrand of the “Women’s March,” it was nothing like the estimated 500,000 that joined for the 2017 inauguration.

Still, Occupy Democrats is doing its best to grift off of rallying their followers to whine about the election results.

“Don’t forget to wear all black on January 20th. National Day of Mourning,” a post on the page read.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Cellmate Alleges Late Pedophile Was Offered ‘Sweetheart Plea Deal’ if He Gave Incriminating Information To Impeach Trump – But He Had Nothing on Him!

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were two fabulously rich guys in Palm Beach, Florida. But that’s where the similarities end.

They were not friends. Trump barred him from Mar-a-Lago.

And when Palm Beach police first investigated Epstein, Trump was the only famous name to help police in their inquiries.

Now, evidence has arisen that suggests Jeffrey Epstein was offered by the DOJ a ‘sweetheart plea deal’ if he could provide ‘incriminating information’ that would lead to President Trump’s impeachment.

The revelation was made by Epstein former cellmate.

Former cop and convicted killer Nicholas Tartaglione shared a cell with Epstein at the Manhattan MCC weeks before his death in August 2019.

Tartaglione, in a call with with Jessica Reed Kraus, said the King of Pedophiles told him about the proposal after one meeting with the feds.

New York Post reported:

“[Epstein] said [to Tartaglione ‘They told me they’d let me plead out something small, and I’ll do just a couple of years in a camp, if I can give them something on Trump to get him impeached. […] The government told me I don’t have to prove what I say about Trump, as long as Trump’s people can’t disprove it’, Tartaglione said — adding that Epstein considered ‘making stuff up’ to save his skin. Tartaglione never said what Epstein ultimately planned to do.”

Springfield Illinois City Council Bans Trump Shirt

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) was founded in 1990 with the mandate to protect religious and constitutional freedoms.

Under the leadership of Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the organization engages legal, legislative, and cultural issues by implementing an effective strategy of advocacy, education, and litigation that includes representing clients before the Supreme Court of the United States and international tribunals around the globe.

ACLJ has taken on the case of Ms. Rosanna Pulido, a resident of Springfield, Illinois, who “faced outrageous restrictions on her freedom of expression at a city council meeting.”

According to ACLJ, Ms. Pulido attended a Springfield City Council meeting on October 29, 2024, sporting a “Chicanos for Trump” T-shirt.

Despite her peaceful and orderly participation, exercising her free speech was too much for the council, and she was singled out by a Springfield alderwoman, who claimed the shirt violated a policy against “campaign materials” in the council chambers.

She was then forced to either turn her shirt inside out or cover the message.

As ACLJ notes, this rule is nowhere to be found in writing and, although Ms. Pulido wrote to the city council and to the city’s attorney asking what law was being enforced, she received no reply.

Further, the rule is completely unconstitutional: Citizens can wear campaign T-shirts in public places.

TIME Magazine Suggests Leftists Form ‘Crying Groups’ On Inauguration Day

TIME magazine has published an article offering advice to leftists who might not be able to cope on Inauguration Day Monday, suggesting that they hold group crying sessions and go ‘forest bathing.’

The publication, which begrudgingly named President Trump as its man of the year, produced a guide on what to do to avoid “spiralling” as Trump is sworn in, and its unintentionally hilarious.

The piece asks “Why so much distress after months of processing the outcome of this divisive election?”

Maybe it’s because the legacy media told fragile leftists that it would literally be the end of the country and the world if Trump won?

The article then lists 11 ways to avoid seeing Trump take the oath, consulting “experts to share their favorite science-backed suggestions.”

OK, this should be funny.
