Why Biden’s pardons for Fauci, family, and the J6 committee may BACKFIRE:

Former President Joe Biden spent his last days in office doing what he does best, which is, of course, nothing good for the American people.

Biden gave pre-emptive pardons to members of his family, Dr. Fauci, General Mark Milley, and January 6 committee members — allegedly to stop Trump from taking swift revenge on them.

“I don’t know about you, but I have a real problem with somebody giving people who work in the government blanket pardons for anything that they might have done wrong. That just doesn’t seem like American justice, and it doesn’t seem like a system where you could hold people accountable for what they’ve done wrong,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” tells famed attorney Alan Dershowitz.

“If I were one of the people that Biden pardoned, I would be very upset. First of all, it makes it sound like they did something wrong, even if they didn’t, and second, it denies them their Fifth Amendment rights, so they can now be held in front of Congress and investigated completely,” Dershowitz tells Glenn.

“So I don’t think Biden did them any favors, and he also set a dangerous precedent,” Dershowitz continues. “I just don’t understand why Biden did that after violating his own promise to the American public when he said he wouldn’t pardon his own son.”

However, this might be a good thing for President Trump.

“For President Trump, it probably establishes a good precedent because he now has much more flexibility in his pardons he can issue,” Dershowitz explains.

Trump administration to put all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff on leave:

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's administration directed that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on paid leave and told agencies to develop plans to lay them off, according to a memo Tuesday from the Office of Personnel Management.

The memo follows an executive order Trump signed on his first day ordering a sweeping dismantling of the federal government's diversity and inclusion programs that could touch on everything from anti-bias training to funding for minority farmers and homeowners.

The memo direct agencies to place DEI office staffers on paid leave by 5 p.m. Wednesday and take down all public DEI-focused webpages by the same deadline. Several federal departments removed the webpages even before the memorandum.

By Thursday, federal agencies are directed to compile a list of federal DEI offices and workers as of Election Day. By next Friday they are expected to develop a list to execute a "reduction-in-force action" against those federal workers.

Why are they still getting paid?  Get rid of them and don't give them any more money!

@terry 

I think they are not going to get paid.  In the Eastern U.S. where I grew up, being "laid off" was kind of a temporary thing when the work slowed down.  But here in California, if you are laid off, it's permanent, you are gone.

And the article does say, they will first be put on paid leave (who knows for how long?) and agencies are told to develop plans to lay them off, according to a memo Tuesday from the Office of Personnel Management-- a "reduction-in-force action" against those federal workers.

First Images of Flights Deporting Illegal Aliens Go Viral: ‘Promises Made, Promises Kept!’

Images of “deportation flights” swept social media on Friday after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted striking pictures capturing illegal aliens waiting to leave the country.

The images will please many Americans who want President Donald Trump to secure the southern border and prevent gang members, criminals, and migrants from entering the nation.

“The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors,” Leavitt wrote on X.

“The Trump Administration also deported hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals via military aircraft. The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway. Promises made. Promises kept,” she said.

Media Praise Trump for Acting ‘Normal’ After Four Years of Biden Mumbling, Stumbling:

The contrast has never more apparent between President Donald Trump’s willingness to engage with reporters and former President Joe Biden’s infrequent media availability.

Trump, on his way to North Carolina on Friday, stepped out of the White House and immediately walked over to the multitude of reporters waiting in freezing weather for his appearance.

Trump took several questions about his executive orders and pardons. He also delivered coherent comments about his trips to North Carolina and Los Angeles to tour hurricane and fire disasters.

“We’re going to get it fixed up,” he said with a loud helicopter buzzing in the background. Reporters and mics could often not pick up rare and brief comments from Biden for four years.

“It should have been done months ago from the hurricane that took place almost four months ago,” Trump added. “North Carolina has been treated very badly. And we’re going to then go to Los Angeles and take a look at a fire that could have been put out if they let the water flow, but they didn’t let the water flow, and they still haven’t for whatever reason.”

“Back to normal. Real answers. Normal gait,” the New York Post‘s Miranda Devine  “No group of staffers to shield POTUS. No falling up stairs. No aviators to hide dilated pupils. Etc.”
