BIDEN: THE AUTOPEN YEARS

Ann Coulter  

"But the other point Trump made was that the autopen signatures proved Biden had no idea what he was doing, as if that were ever in dispute. Anyone who saw Biden’s June 27, 2024, debate performance is well familiar with his galloping senescence, but Trump is nothing if not thorough. More important than Biden not actually signing the pardons, Trump said, “he did not know anything about them!”

"Of all of President Trump’s zany ideas — making boring, self-righteous Canada the 51st state, we take Gaza, Perkins Coie lawyers banned from federal buildings — his claim that Joe Biden’s pardons are invalid because they were signed with an autopen is a winner.

"As discussed last week, Biden used the pardons not to show mercy to specific individuals, but to change the law. We’re told that no one may ever challenge a president’s clemencies, because the pardon power is “plenary.” But however plenary it is, it cannot be so plenary as to allow a president to eliminate the legislative and judicial branches. Biden’s blanket pardons of entire classes of crimes and punishments do just that.

"Suppose President Stephen K. Bannon pardoned, en masse, nearly all criminal violations of the Clean Water Act. Go ahead, dump pollutants into rivers, discharge chemical waste onto wetlands, funnel nuclear waste directly into clean water reservoirs. Maybe the EPA will convict you, but not before you’re pardoned.

"Next up, pardons for criminal convictions under the Clean Air Act, freeing developers to get on with it and rip asbestos from the walls of derelict buildings and manufacturers to belch toxic smoke from their factories and build two or three new coal-burning power plants every week. You know, like China!

" 'The best news? After President Bannon issues similarly sweeping clemencies to those convicted under the Endangered Species Act, I can finally open my long-dreamed-of restaurant that serves nothing but red wolf. Everything will be endangered-licious, from appetizers to Red Wolf Velvet Cake. 

"Totally proper use of the pardon power, right? Why wouldn’t our founders want a president to be able to single-handedly rewrite federal law, nullifying any statutes that he doesn’t like? Why else would they have called him “the king of America”? Surely, it’s every bit as sound as Biden’s Jan. 17, 2025, proclamation that the never-ratified Equal Rights Amendment “is the law of the land.” . . .

‘Another stinker’: Douglas Murray slams ‘woke remake’ of Snow White

 Sky News Australia

Comment to this video: Disney needs to stop butchering old classics, we like the old stories just like they were.... if you want a story about people of colour or trans people or some other group...Just Write A New Story!!! Are there no writers left in this world?????

"Author Douglas Murray slams the “woke remake” of Disney’s Snow White after the film’s premiere was scaled back following backlash against woke themes and cast members.

“Disney has had a terrible run of it because it … really looks horribly dated,” Mr Douglas said.

" '“Maybe you should just invent a different story and call it something different.

“Disney seemed to know that they've got another stinker of a movie here.

“Disney clearly knows that they've got to silence their star, and that's why last week the huge launch of the film was in the middle of nowhere in Spain.

“You can't help thinking that Disney's executives must have been wishing they could also give the star a poisoned apple that would set her to sleep for many years, so she didn't appear in front of the world's press again anytime soon and diminish the movie she's meant to be promoting.”

The court is out of order; District judges are vetoing the president. This will not end well

Don Surber 

 " . . .Enabling district judges to veto presidential actions is not the same thing. It is worse because it strips from everyone the right to elect the president of their choice."

"Chief Justice John Roberts has his panties in a wad because the president complained about a deep-state judge ignoring the Constitution to the point where the judge demanded that the military turn a couple of planes around in midflight like he was the air traffic controller-in-chief.

"While he was at it, why didn’t Judge Doom Boasberg not command the oceans to not rise? Look at all the money we would save on fighting global warming.

"Trump said, “I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”

"Roberts said, “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

"Trump replied, “If a President doesn’t have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail!”

"Roberts had no problem with Congress impeaching Trump for making a phone call or impeaching him for holding a rally, but Roberts sees as another matter trying to rein in a judge who is clearly off his meds.

"Well, certain judges—the ones who are darlings of the left." . . .

SHOCK: Terrorism How-To Guide Being Distributed to American College Students

"Just when we assume things couldn't get worse, along comes Worse to remind us that we should be careful about assuming. Case in point: On Tuesday, we learned that a shadowy group is circulating a terrorist how-to guide among students. American college students, at Columbia University and, presumably, other institutions as well.

This little blood-red guide, we note, was produced by a group that celebrated the Hamas Oct. 7th attacks on Israel. It contains tips like:

Step 1 - Create a cell. A cell is an autonomous group taking actions without detection as part of Palestine Action Underground.

To build your cell, it is crucial that you only invite TRUSTED people to take part in it. You don't need loads of people either. Keeping the cell small, makes it more secure.

And then what is this cell to do? Read on:

Step 2 - Pick a Target. A starting point for research is to make sure your (sic) using a secure browser when looking into complicit companies.

And here's the goal:

Step 5 - Take Action. Adrenaline and nerves will be pumping through you at the same time. This is normal. Make sure you run through your plans right before taking action another time, to make sure everyone is on the same page. Then go for it.

Newsom’ s Answer To California’s Business Exodus Is … A Free Burner Phone?

 Issues & Insights  

"To wit: If you tax and regulate businesses to death in the name of leftist causes, companies will leave, along with their jobs and their tax payments."

"Whenever someone gets around to cataloging lame-brained political ideas, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to pass out free burner phones to CEOs in the state will forever top the list.

"Newsom has so far sent roughly 100 cellphones – with his direct line programmed in – to CEOs with a message that “if you ever need anything, I’m a phone call away.”

“ 'This was the governor’s idea to connect more directly with business leaders in the state,” spokesperson Izzy Gardon said.

"More accurately, it’s Newsom’s attempt to keep still more corporations from joining the well over 350 companies who’ve left the state since 2018, and the million-plus Californians who followed them out the door.

"Well, we looked into it, and we couldn’t find a single corporate executive – or individual – who said they would have stayed put if only they had a Newsom burner phone.

"Instead, they said things like “taxes are too high,” or “regulations are too stringent,” or “the cost-of-living is punishing,” or “the schools suck,” or “I’m tired of being robbed.” The state’s criminal wildfire negligence hasn’t helped either.

"When Stanford University’s Hoover Institution looked into why so many companies were leaving the state, they found that “several economic factors that have led to these departures by raising business costs, reducing productivity, and reducing profitability, including tax policies, regulatory policies, labor costs, litigation costs, energy and utility costs, and concerns about a declining quality of life within the state.”

"Indeed, by almost any ranking of business friendliness, California is at or near the bottom of the list.

• The state ranks 48th in Tax Foundation’s Business Tax Climate Index, with only New York and New Jersey fairing worse.
• Chief Executive magazine’s survey of CEOs finds them ranking California dead last.
• California comes in 47th place in CNBC’s ranking of business friendliness and 45th in the cost of doing business.
• ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index ranks California 47th for economic competitiveness.

"There are any number of other such rankings that show California at the bottom of the barrel on taxes, regulations, and the cost of doing business." . . .

Today’s Real Nazis Are In America, But They’re Not Who You Think: Kristallnacht Musk 2025

 Ned Barnett 

  . . ."Who wants to become a target, with a big red bullseye painted on their cars or dealerships, just to make an expensive point? Some will – the brave advocates of Musk and free enterprise, as well as those refuse to knuckle under to Nazi-like oppression and terror."

Toon added by TD

"In what way are the German Nazis, v.1.0., 1938, akin to the United States Nazis, v.2.0., 2025? 

"The answer may surprise you.

"Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany on Jan. 30, 1933. Twenty months later, after the death of German President Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler won 90 percent of the votes in a plebiscite on August 19, 1934, making him both chancellor and president, a new position Hitler called “Der Führer” (the Leader). 

"However, he really made his mark as the most virulent anti-semite on the planet on Nov. 9, 1938.  Then – in one awful night – vicious Jewish oppression really took hold across Germany and Austria.  

"For those without a clear understanding of what the Third Reich’s Nazis 1.0. Kristallnacht was, and what today’s Kristallnacht against Elon Musk and his companies is all about – consider the original Kristallnacht, consider what today’s far-Left Nazi 2.0.s are doing to Tesla.

"Except for the religious overtones of what the original Nazis did during Kristallnacht v.1.0, it's remarkably similar. 

"Does this massive and at least semi-official victimization sound familiar?  If you’ve been watching the firebombing of Tesla cars and trucks, as well as Tesla dealerships, it should sound familiar." . . .

                       Thousands of Tesla owners were doxxed and threatened.

Not another rogue judge!

Top 20 Times Democrat Activist Judge Boasberg Overruled America   

"In an era when the line between judicial interpretation and raw political power has never been thinner, one federal judge stands at the epicenter of America's most explosive constitutional battles"  . . .

. . ."Judge James Boasberg's courtroom has become ground zero for decisions that have halted presidential initiatives, redirected national security policies, and sparked furious debates about the proper role of the judiciary in our republic.

"From ordering deportation planes to turn around mid-flight to handing down suspiciously selective sentences, Boasberg's rulings have left legal scholars stunned and ordinary Americans wondering who truly governs the nation—elected officials or unelected judges wielding gavels like scepters.

"As impeachment whispers grow louder in Washington's corridors, this definitive account exposes the twenty most controversial decisions that have transformed one judge's bench into what I call a throne of constitutional abuse." . . .

. . ."From a perspective prioritizing judicial probity, this list highlights a pattern of decisions that center on exceeding constitutional limits, favoring political outcomes, or lacking consistency. Actions like the deportation flight orders and FISA oversight raise questions about adherence to separation of powers and Fourth Amendment protections. Perceived leniency in cases like Clinesmith’s or Epps’s, contrasted with harsher Jan. 6 rulings, feeds accusations of selective justice, eroding trust in judicial fairness.

"It is time that:

(a) President Trump strips Boasberg of his security clearances for his FISA abuse failures;

(b) Congress compels his testimony regarding his conflicts of interest, his longstanding political activism, and years of failing to adhere to the Code of Conduct for United States Judges.

The world is noticing: There’s a legit COUP underway in the US led by federal judges…   There’s a coup unfolding in the United States. It’s reaching a fever pitch, and if we don’t stop it, everything we voted for in 2024 will turn to ash. Yes, that may sound dramatic—but sadly, this is exactly where we are in America right now.

And if you need more proof, just look at the Obama-appointed judge who bent over backward to protect bloodthirsty gangbangers—risking the lives of American citizens just to save them." . . .

Laura Loomer Uncovers an Enormous Taxpayer-Funded Conflict of Interest ...

. . ."Involving Obama Judge Who Ordered Trump Admin to Stop Deporting Criminal Aliens Mid-Flight and HIS OWN DAUGHTER.  Now, independent journalist Laura Loomer discovered a massive conflict of interest between Boasberg and his own daughter. It turns out Katherine Boasberg, the daughter, works for a far-left organization called Partners for Justice that opposes “mass incarceration” of violent criminals and strongly opposes deporting illegals, including violent felons.

"Unsurprisingly, Katherine Boasberg is so woke she has pronouns in her bio." . . .

. . . “Given his daughter’s employment at a group that advocates for criminal illegal Aliens & is funded by US Government grants, Judge Boasberg should not be granted any sensitive information about deportation flights. His family is a national security threat,” she writes." . . .

BIDEN DIDN’T PARDON, HE ERASED THE LAW

 . . . "the thousands of criminals Biden sprung were merely guilty of “nonviolent drug offenses.” They are referring to the crime of record, which is never what the guy actually did, a fact well known to anyone familiar with the law, police procedural shows on TV or the expression “plea bargaining.” 

"A snippy article in The New York Times this past weekend — sorry, an unusually snippy article in The New York Times this past weekend — suggested that Trump is using his pardon power to reward those loyal to him and undo what he sees as politically motivated prosecutions. If true, this would make Trump only the 47th president to use his authority this way.

"The media’s interest in presidential pardons seems sudden.

"Just a few months ago, President Biden granted a blanket clemency to 1,500 criminals in a single day; overruled federal law on capital punishment by rescinding it for 37 of the 40 federal death row prisoners; and nullified federal drug laws by commuting the sentences of 2,500 alleged “nonviolent drug offenders,” in what his White House boasted was “the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.”

"The Times is worried about Trump abusing the presidential pardon? If Trump were selling pardons at a card table at Mar-a-Lago like merch at comic con, it could not compare to the lawlessness of Biden using the pardon power to repeal federal law. With the stroke of a pen, the dementia patient — or whomever was functioning as president — thumbed his nose at the legislative and judicial branches, the U.S. Code, his own law enforcement officers, the federal judiciary, and, most of all, citizens voting in a democracy (that thing that dies in darkness).

"For decades, the progressive wish list has had at the top of the lineup: 1) decriminalizing drugs, 2) decriminalizing illegal immigration, 3) decriminalizing crime and 4) abolishing the death penalty. They push their pro-criminal agenda with Alice in Wonderland locutions, like “mass incarceration,” “the school-to-prison pipeline,” “failed drug war,” “black bodies,” “alternatives to incarceration,” “the new Jim Crow,” “nonviolent drug offenses” and “the defendant was just signed by the Los Angeles Lakers.”

"But no matter how they try to camouflage it, these are such obviously crackpot ideas, they’ve been adopted only in a few open-air drug markets, like the entire states of California, Oregon and Washington. Unable to convince a majority of Americans not currently wearing ankle monitors that murderers, rapists and other psychopaths should roam free among us, liberals simply defy the law with moratoriums, executive orders, court rulings and, in Biden’s case, across-the-board mass clemencies." . . .

"They couldn’t stop DOGE, so now, they’ve resorted to violence and terrorism. I’m afraid to ask what’s next?" . . .

 Elon Musk Confirms That He Offered to Return Astronauts Sooner But Was Turned Down by Biden Admin ‘For Political Reasons’   "Elon Musk appeared on the Sean Hannity show tonight and confirmed that he could have returned the stranded astronauts before today and that SpaceX made the offer to the Biden administration but was turned down for reasons which were political.

"This is nothing short of amazing. The people in the Biden administration were so petty that they put their political ambitions ahead of the lives of these people. How is this not already a national scandal?

"In the clip below, Sean Hannity prefaces his question by stressing that this should not be a moment for politics, but that he wants clarification. Musk says, “We definitely offered to return the astronauts earlier, there’s no question about that. The astronauts were only supposed to be there for eight days and they’ve been there for ten months. So obviously that doesn’t make sense, SpaceX could have brought the astronauts back after a few months at most and we made that offer to the Biden administration. It was rejected for political reasons and that’s just a fact.” . . .

SpaceX Rescue Reinforces DOGE’s Privatization Point   . . ."It might have become even longer if that slayer of unnecessary government programs, Elon Musk, had not come to NASA’s rescue. When President Dwight Eisenhower prevailed upon Congress to pass the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, the belief that no private entity could compete with the Soviet Union’s space program undergirded the enthusiastic federal funding of the new administration. Sixty-seven years later, the U.S. government looked to a private entity — as it now does on a regular basis for much else with regard to travel beyond the blue — to rescue its astronauts stranded on the International Space Station.

"Last year, the Biden administration squashed any talk of Musk’s SpaceX retrieving the stranded astronauts in 2024. NASA instead scheduled a SpaceX rescue date for long after the election. Cynics regarded this, given Musk’s criticism of the Biden administration and July endorsement of Trump, as an administration playing politics with lives on the line during an election year. The astronauts certainly took their lost-in-space status stoically in stride and studiously avoided Dr. Zachary Smith antics of petulantly assigning blame to any political actors.

"Musk insists that in 2024 he offered NASA to send SpaceX to bring the astronauts back to Earth to a listen-to-the-crickets response. A month ago, Musk reiterated this claim in an interview with Sean Hannity by stating that the astronauts “were left up there for political reasons, which is not good.' ” . . .

Disney Is About to Learn Some Hard Lessons As Snow White Forecasted to Bomb Entirely

One person blew up a major product pretty much like Dylan Mulvaney bombed Bud Light. TD

 Brandon Morse  

"Zegler is a perfect example of how one person can wreck an entire production and throw $320 million (not including promotional costs) into the fire." 

Kinda like the woke remake of "Get Smart"

. . ."To be clear, the movie was already destined to fail. Snow White's character was race swapped for a Latina actress, and instead of a kind and nurturing figure, we're going to get another powerful girl-boss figure, a tired trope created during Disney's woke era that was entirely unwelcome the moment it arrived and continued to drive away viewers with every subsequent creation. 

"But this Snow White movie may end up changing Disney, and for the better. 

"At the core of this movie's issues is Zegler, a woman who displayed an incredible amount of woke hubris during the promotion of the film. She went so far as to insult the original 1937 Disney classic, which helped put Disney on the map as a major picture studio. 

"Zegler, and even Gadot, suggested the original Snow White was problematic in various ways, and told everyone who asked that they fixed the story of Snow White by making her into something she wasn't, yet another modern example of a strong female archetype."  . .  .

. . .This isn't going to be overlooked by Disney, and how could it? This is one of the largest rebukes of a corporation ever seen, on par with the Bud Light boycott. Disney is likely going to make some massive changes after this, and I don't just mean in the way it writes and films it movies and television shows. 

"I mean they're really going to start locking down on their employees.

"Disney's response to this bomb is probably going to include tighter contracts after this. Zegler taught them that modern Hollywood celebrities are likely a liability when given free-rein to just say whatever they want in front of cameras. What's likely going to happen is that Disney will begin making airtight morality clauses in their contracts." . . . 

Disney’s Snow White Is Well on Its Way to Disaster at the Box Office

"That’s not to say women can’t pick up swords — Judith, after all, cuts off the head of a tyrant, and Joan of Arc led armies against the English — but Snow White isn’t supposed to be Joan of Arc, she’s supposed to be the maltreated princess awakened to love by a kiss. Simply put, Snow White isn’t the kind of story where the princess saves the prince. Instead, it gives men permission to love women because they are beautiful both inwardly and outwardly, and it tells women that accepting love will awaken them to a new and beautiful life."

  ..."That’s not the only problem Gadot poses for Disney. The Israeli-born actress, who is a former martial arts instructor for the Israeli Defence Force, is, as one might expect, pro-Israel, and she’s been very vocal about it. Last year, she helped put together a screening in Los Angeles of a video compilation of the atrocities committed by Hamas on Oct. 7, and the left-wing mob has been calling for a boycott of Snow White ever since.

"Zegler, on the other hand, has posted slogans like “free palestine” on her social media. (One wonders how that is going down between Zegler and Gadot on the promotional tour.) That, together with Zegler’s blatant disregard and disrespect of the original fairy tale, has everyone else criticizing and boycotting the movie. Between the Right and the Left, it seems likely that no one will be sitting in theaters on March 21.

"In 15 years, when the conflict in Gaza is relegated to the history books, most of us could probably get past some of the politicization surrounding the film. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get past the bad storyline and the film’s ghoulish looks." . . .
