Biden PARDONS HUNTER, MAGA loses it
Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, despite previously stating he wouldn't interfere with the Justice Department's decisions or issue a pardon. In his statement, Biden argued that Hunter faced unfair prosecution compared to others in similar cases, particularly for minor offenses like tax issues and gun form violations. This decision has sparked criticism, especially from MAGA supporters, and raises concerns about setting a precedent for presidential pardons. Many worry that Trump could now justify pardoning his allies, including January 6th rioters, by pointing to Biden’s pardon, further undermining accountability and trust in the justice system.
WOW: Trump HUMILIATED by Mexican president AGAIN
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly humiliated Donald Trump for the second time in two weeks, refuting his false claims about their conversations. Trump had falsely stated that Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico and close the border, but Sheinbaum quickly corrected him, emphasizing that Mexico's strategy respects human rights and aims to build bridges, not close borders. Trump’s attempt to fabricate a win backfired, as Sheinbaum’s rebuttal was swift and widely recognized. This incident highlights Trump’s tendency to use lies and bluster in diplomacy, which often backfires and weakens his position.
From over the weekend:
OH NO: Trump has LOST Rand Paul
Rand Paul, despite generally supporting Trump’s mass deportation plan, acknowledged that aspects of it, such as using the military for domestic law enforcement, are illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. He pointed out that deploying the National Guard or Army requires the approval of the governor in the state where they operate. While Paul supports the broader goal of deportation, he suggests alternatives like using Border Patrol agents instead of militarizing the effort. His critique underscores how Trump’s plan disregards legal constraints, prioritizing propaganda and government weaponization over lawful governance.
From over the weekend:
Trump might have THREE PANDEMICS
Donald Trump’s second administration could face three pandemics: rising whooping cough cases, global measles deaths, and the looming threat of H5N1, warns former Surgeon General Jerome Adams. Critics argue that appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services would amplify vaccine skepticism, further eroding public trust in critical immunizations. This could weaken herd immunity, especially in red states, where vaccine hesitancy is already high. Combined with prior cuts to public health budgets, such leadership risks delayed responses to outbreaks and widespread health crises.

Remember who Trump pardoned the last time around and look who he is filling his cabinet with! Biden’s pardon of his son was expected and I am certainly glad to see it.
