Trump threatens perjury charges if Biden claims involvement in autopen process

 Revealed: Biden's motives behind his venomous hate-Trump speeches at the State of the Union, the dark, red-lit Freedom Hall, and the Democrat convention that all but put out a cry for any Trump assassin. TD

Fox News  

"During Biden's presidency, he signed 162 executive orders, in addition to hundreds of memoranda, proclamations and notices."

"President Donald Trump announced on Friday he is terminating all documents allegedly signed by former President Joe Biden with the Autopen.

"In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed 92% of documents signed during Biden's presidency were done so with the device.

" 'The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States," Trump wrote. "The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him."

"Trump said he is canceling all executive orders and "anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally."

"The autopen device, which holds a real pen and signs paper using a handwriting template, automatically reproduces a person’s signature with high accuracy.

"The U.S. government has used autopens since the Truman administration, and the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel previously confirmed use of the device is legal for presidential signatures on legislation and executive acts, so long as it is authorized by the president.

"However, Trump claimed Biden did not approve the signatures, and threatened to charge him with perjury if he says he was involved in the autopen process." . . .

The Investigation Into Joe Biden’s Handlers Using the Autopen  . . . "As part of the Oversight Committee’s investigation into The Biden Autopen Presidency, Chairman James Comer and Committee staff conducted transcribed interviews with several of Joe Biden’s former senior aides and advisors. […] Their testimony revealed that President Biden’s cognitive deterioration was real, visible, and widely discussed inside the West Wing.

"Witnesses further confirmed that critical executive actions and even presidential pardons were executed without Biden’s direct authorization, signed instead by an autopen. Several aides confessed they did not know who was approving or controlling its use.” WATCH:"

The prize and the praise

American Thinker

”The operative question is whether Trump’s praise of Mamdani is to please the Qataris.  The litmus test will be if the Trump administration designates the entire Muslim Brotherhood — whose primary funder and promoter is Qatar — as a terrorist organization.The Nobel Peace Prize was wrongly given to Obama.  Is Trump trying to appease the Muslim world and Mamdani in order to get that prize?" 

"Barack Hussein Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize despite a record of non-achievements.  Obama was nominated just days into the start of his presidency in 2009, and, in the intervening years, there were no substantive accomplishments pertaining to peacemaking beyond the eloquent rhetoric that marked his campaign and the eight years of his presidency.  The Nobel committee, whose membership were Scandinavians with a white guilt complex, decided that the Peace Prize should go to Obama because he was a non-white person who spoke of lofty ideals.

"Similarly, President Donald J. Trump praised Zohran Kwame Mamdani, the Democratic-Socialist mayor-elect of New York City, who has made persuasive statements about “affordability” regarding housing, food, and transportation, without presenting a plan for how he intends to make it happen.  The Hill’s 11/21/2025 headline read, “Trump offers praise for ‘rational’ Mamdani in remarkable White House meeting.”  Trump added, “I think you’re going to have, hopefully, a really great mayor.”

"Like Obama’s lackluster term in office, Mamdani has done nothing to merit the president’s praise.  His tenure as a member of the New York State Assembly since 2021, the only political position he has ever held, was absent any significant achievements.

"New York City has never had a Muslim mayor.  Mamdani embraces the red and green ideologies of the radical left, which is anti-capitalist and pro-Islamism.  Ironically, it was Trump who called Mamdani a “communist” and, in his first term, denied U.S. entry to those Muslims applying from terror-supporting Muslim states. 

"Mamdani openly supports the Hamas terror group, which the U.S. government has listed as a terrorist organization.  He co-founded a chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at his alma mater, Bowdoin College.  SJP is a rabidly anti-Israel and antisemitic movement responsible for organizing the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish riots that have been taking place on American campuses since October 7." . . .  More...

Thanksgiving Isn’t for Atheists

Babylon Bee: Turkey Pardoned By Biden Administration 4 Times Commits Violent Turkey Murder

"It’s that time of year again.

"You know, that time of year when the price of a 16-lb turkey — a bird precisely nobody truly enjoys eating — suddenly matters to both politicians trying to make a salient political point and stressed-out grandmas preparing to host potentially riotous dinners.

"That time of year when supermarkets, dollar stores, and Hobby Lobby try to convince us that massive tall hats with oversized buckles really are nostalgic, while television networks in collusion with Apple TV+ (a streaming service almost no one pays for) continue to deprive us of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for no good reason.

"That time of year (yes, this phrase is getting a little old) when we drown political debates in whipped cream, pumpkin pie, and far too many hours of football games we find ourselves unexpectedly invested in.

"Of course, we all know Thanksgiving isn’t really about any of these superficial things — not the football, not the TV shows we grew up watching, not the political debates with our relatives, or even the price of turkey. It’s really about that awkward thing Mom makes us do before we fill up on the cornucopia that’s spilling out over our table: It is about giving thanks.

"Gratitude. It’s a virtue modern men tend to lack.

"Perhaps it’s the fault of our comfortable existence — most of us manage to have a roof over our heads, cars in our garages, food we didn’t have to grow ourselves in our refrigerators, and a myriad of tiny items capitalism has persuaded us will make us happier (but don’t). These blessings (and that’s what they are) manage to be so quotidian that we forget to recognize even their existence.

"Or maybe it’s the fault of the progressive mindset Enlightenment-era philosophers bequeathed to us via our modern political order — that mindset that tells us that satisfaction with the things our ancestors gave us serves as a roadblock in the eternal march of history toward its utopian conclusion. Satisfied and grateful men rarely make good revolutionaries." . . . More...

Do Democrats want to stoke racial violence in our nation?

Viral Rants And False Claims: Inside Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Chaotic Fall Of 2025   "Here are four of her craziest moments from the fall of 2025.

"Sept. 12: Crockett Compares ICE To ‘Slave Patrols’

"United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are up 1,000% year-over-year, the agency reported in a Sept. 22 release, while death threats have climbed by 8,000%, according to an Oct. 30 release by the Department of Homeland Security. The Trump administration has blamed anti-ICE rhetoric for riots at ICE facilities across the country, including Chicago and Portland, Oregon, which have been the scene of multiple riots as opposition to the agency’s operations targeting illegal immigrants has intensified."

"RELATED: Plot Twist: The ‘Jeffrey Epstein’ Who Donated To Zeldin Also Funded Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett. . . "

From The Federalist Papers: "During a press conference, Dem Rep Jasmine Crockett spewed venom against Trump and his administration over immigration enforcement:" . . .

"This speech is disgraceful. On the same day Chuck Schumer openly admits Democrats want a path to citizenship for every immigrant, legal or illegal, Jasmine Crockett stands there portraying President Trump as a killer. Meanwhile, her own party is ignoring the will of the American people while demonizing ICE, border agents, and even the National Guard.

"The country cannot absorb the millions who have poured in under Democratic leadership, especially while taxpayers are still trying to recover from the economic wreckage of the Biden years. That reality is exactly why Trump was elected. The gaslighting, the fearmongering, and the nonstop attacks on law enforcement need to end. If Democrats keep stoking division, they’re going to spark even more unrest and dissent in this country." . . .

Federal Judges Are Becoming A Form Of Tyranny

 Andrea Widburg

  "The second is that you must have an honest judiciary. If you don’t, your country will become a kritarchy—that is, a dictatorship of judges:" . . .

Image created using AI.

As a litigator in the uber-left San Francisco Bay Area for three decades, I routinely witnessed left-leaning judges make up the law as they went along. One went so far as to say, “I know what the law is, but I think...” What constrained them a little was the fact that it was considered humiliating to be reversed by a higher court. Today’s leftist judges no longer operate under that constraint. Their goal isn’t justice; it’s to interfere in the political process, precisely as Judge Robert Yates predicted in 1787.

Eleven months into the second Trump presidency, it’s become old news that leftist federal judges at the district court level (that is, judges appointed under Article III of the Constitution) are blocking every single administrative initiative. My guesstimate is that roughly 80% of them have been reversed at the appellate or Supreme Court level. Significantly, these reversals haven’t been over subtle legal points. They’ve come about for gross errors that first-year law students wouldn’t make.

In the first half of 2025, the Supreme Court repeatedly batted down rogue rulings that don’t even reach the merits of a case but are simply intended to run out the clock. Three examples will suffice" . . .

Eric Swalwell Calls On 2028 Democratic Nominees To Pledge To Destroy Trump's 'Monument To Corruption' Ballroom

 Democratic Underground Forums  

"But wait, I thought the ballroom was an abomination that needed to be ripped down? Now you want to put Obama's name on it? And that stops it from being an abomination? Getting people to donate to the U.S. equals "corruption." But soaking the taxpayer for all their money or billions for Ukraine is looking out for their interests."   Nick Arama

Leavitt said the ballroom will be "substantially separated" from the main building of the White House, yet "its theme and architectural heritage will be almost identical." 

"Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) proposed a stiff litmus test for any Democrat who hopes to be elected president in 2028: pledge to destroy Donald Trump’s $300 million ballroom.

"Swalwell posted to X on Sunday, “Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE.”

"In a follow-up tweet, he added, “Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand.”

"Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House over the period of a week to make way for the proposed 90,000 square-foot ballroom designed to accommodate some 1,000 seated guests. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the ballroom “a much-needed and exquisite addition.”“The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building’s entrance,” Leavitt said." . . .

You Won't Believe What Swalwell Wants Done to Trump Ballroom - Dems Are Truly Lost     . . . "I thought Hillary's response was the worst, given the many ways her family did the White House wrong. But it seems that Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) wants to challenge her with his entry. He wants to make it a litmus test for 2028 Democrat candidates for president that they will pledge to tear down the ballroom. 

"So let's see. Swalwell wants Democrats to run on wrecking something that we got for free. Something that even the Washington Post editorial board said was needed — that even Biden and Obama officials were acknowledging privately was needed."

10 Secrets McDonald’s Employees Aren't Supposed To Tell You

 Amanda Mactas, Brittany Anas  

"But the straws served with the soft drinks are wider than a typical straw, so your sip is “inherently more flavorful,' ” 

"This year, McDonald's is celebrating its 70th birthday—no small feat given that many other popular chain restaurants have met their demise in recent years. In fact, McD's seems to have veered in the complete opposite direction of some of its competitors. As of this year, McDonald's has the highest brand value of any restaurant in the world, clocking in at over 40 billion dollars. Okay!! We see you!

"Today, the famous chain has over 40,000 restaurant locations worldwide, but just because it holds a prominent spot in our hearts (and stomachs), that doesn't mean we know all there is to know about the popular chain. In fact, there are plenty of secrets the chain has managed to keep under wraps over the decades it has been in business.

"Luckily, a former corporate chef at McDonald's is spilling the sweet tea on some behind-the-scenes intel that McDonald's employees don't want customers to know. We gathered some primo information from chef Mike Haracz, whose cult following on TikTok has amassed him millions of followers.

So, what does the fast-food behemoth not want you to know? Well, let's find out." . . .

4. The Truth About the Ice Cream Machines  "McDonald’s catches a lot of flack for its ice cream machines. Time and again, the chain gets pummeled by people complaining that the machines are broken. (There’s even a site called McBroken to check ahead of time which ice cream machines near you are out of service). So what gives? The machine that churns out your McFlurries and milkshakes is a complicated piece of equipment that needs to be broken down and cleaned frequently, and only some employees are trained for the task, Haracz explains. Sometimes, that disassembly has to be done during prime hours. So even though your local machine might be out of order when you want your treat, at least you can rest assured it's being properly cleaned." . . .  More...

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left’s ‘Assassination Chic’ and the Inevitability of Another Attack

Daily Signal 

"Number two, the invective on social media—and that’s where they live, on social media—is all anti-Trump, anti-Trump, anti-corporate. It’s Left. There’s a huge left-wing. And the invective they’re using: Fascist, fascist, fascist, fascist, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler."

. . . "Is there a pattern? Yes. They’re all four people of the Left. They’re all four, not just people of the Left, but activists incited by particular left-wing dogmas. In the case of Tyler Robinson, he was into the trans movement, this weird, furry movement, and felt that Charlie Kirk was probably an obstacle to that. In the case of Crooks, he had gone from either isolated, crazy, conservative to hard Left, and he had bought into the idea that Donald Trump was an existential threat, and he hated him.  

"If you look at Luigi Mangione, he was an overeducated nepo baby who believed that the health care [system] and the whole corporate world was unfair to poor people, and they weren’t getting health care. So, who’s going to take out one, the biggest, United Healthcare?

"So he thought. That’s what he claimed.  

"If you were Ryan Routh, he said so many crazy things, but he hated Trump because he thought he was going to cut off aid to Ukraine, everything.  

"So now we have the idea that they are all trying to kill conservatives. By the way, there’s more of them than the opposite. If you count the eight or nine trans cases. Somebody just sent me something that was on the Libs of TikTok—I can’t assess the veracity of it. People who commit shootings of over four people based on their race or sexual orientation? The largest group shooting people were people who identified as trans or were in the trans movement of some way. I don’t know how you adjudicate all of those, whether you count Thomas Crook or you count Tyler Robinson who were somewhere there. Whether pronouns or furry animals or whatever crazy, kooky thing they are. But my point is this: That seems to be more common. And you go back to Stephen Scalise and other stuff." . . .

. . . "So, the system sends a message to these four. You’re not going to really pay the ultimate price. And then it sends message number two that if you do do this, you’re going to be canonized as a political hero in some quarters. And number three, you’re going to be famous." . . .  More...

3 Taxpayers Will Have Fled California In The Time It Takes You To Read This

Issues & Insights

" . . .Why do those who don’t or can’t leave put up with it? Why do they keep electing the same cast of criminals who are stealing their money and ruining their state?. . .

"Over the weekend, we learned that the Golden State loses one taxpayer to another state every minute, and faces an $18 billion budget shortfall, which is $5 billion higher than was projected just a few months ago.

"We also learned that only now, 10 months after wildfires destroyed thousands of buildings in the Los Angeles area, has the first home been rebuilt.

"These stories are yet more evidence of a completely dysfunctional state captured by ideologues who couldn’t care less about the harm their policies cause. Will voters there ever learn?

"The National Taxpayers Union Foundation used IRS data to calculate how many taxpayers are moving into and out of states each year.

"What it found was stunning. California is losing taxpayers at a rate of one every 1 minute 44 seconds – the fastest of any state in the nation. That amounts to billions in lost tax revenue every year.

"Florida, in contrast, is gaining taxpayers at a rate of one every 2 minutes 9 seconds.

"Meanwhile, California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office just reported that the state faces an $18 billion shortfall next fiscal year, which is $5 billion higher than it projected a few months back and which will likely “grow to about $35 billion annually due to spending growth continuing to outstrip revenue growth.”

"The report also cautions that even this outlook is optimistic because the current AI stock bubble is masking the state’s dire fiscal situation. California is ridiculously dependent on capital gains taxes. “With so much enthusiasm surrounding AI, it now appears time to take seriously the notion that the stock market has become overheated,” it warns.

"The report calls the state’s budget position “weak,” which has to be the understatement of the year.

"Next, we come to the weekend story in the Los Angeles Times to find that “The first home has been rebuilt in the wake of the Palisades Fire.”

"Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass calls it “an important moment of hope.' ” . . .

When Should You Use Roman Numerals?

 Word Smarts

"English has a long history. It’s in the family of Indo-European languages and is specifically a West Germanic language originally spoken by people who left Roman rule. We use the Latin alphabet for our writing system, but we don’t use its numeral system, Roman numerals. The base-10 numbering system we do use (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and onward) is also called the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. This is what is used for math, science, finance, and most calculations in the English-speaking world and across much of the globe. However, there are still uses for Roman numerals. 

"The differences between Hindu-Arabic and Roman numerals go beyond just how they look. The former are counted one by one: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Roman numerals grow in stages: 

I → 1                     C → 100

V → 5                    D → 500

X → 10                  M → 1000

L → 50                      

"To represent the values in between these main figures, Roman numerals use an additive or subtractive model. To translate the Roman numerals into their Hindu-Arabic counterparts, we need to do some simple math. When two Roman numerals of equal or greater value are placed sequentially, the value is added together. So VI is 5+1, which becomes 6, and XX is 10+10, which becomes 20. If the smaller numeral comes before the larger, subtract the smaller from the larger. IV is 5-1, which is 4, and XIX is 10+(10-1), which is 19. Only three of the same numeral are allowed to stay together, so instead of XXXX, XL represents 40. 

"After the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, Roman numerals stayed strong for a few centuries. The first major documentation of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system in a math text was the Italian mathematician Fibonacci’s book Liber abaci (Book of the Abacus) in 1202. The Hindu-Arabic system was influential in developing algebra, and it began to take over in Europe. However, Roman numerals remained popular for more ceremonial uses, such as numbering important figures, including the pope of the Catholic Church and royalty. For example, Shakespeare’s historical plays document the many Henrys of the Tudor line, from Henry IV to Henry VIII. " . . .

How sick is the American left? This sick.

Patricia McCarthy  

Their hatred of Trump has made them enemies of us all.  They are so thoroughly ungrateful for what this great nation has provided for them.  They are indeed sick.

"Leftists are so sick that when two National Guardsmen are shot by an Afghan welcomed into the U.S. by Biden, they blame President Trump for having deployed the Guard to D.C. for badly needed crime abatement.  Said deployment worked marvelously.  Murders, robberies, carjackings, etc. dropped massively.  But our left is doing everything in its well financed power to see Trump run out of office by any means necessary.

" 'Leftists are not bothered by the escalating crime.  Can we say “color revolution”?

"Exactly who is behind the Seditious Six’s traitorous video?  John Brennan?  Obama?  Who knows?  But something is very, very wrong with this entire scheme.  Those six tools are doing someone else’s bidding.  Oh, they surely love being part of whatever “it” is, but they are just the tip of someone else’s spear.

"One thing has become abundantly clear.  Trump-deranged leftists hate Trump so much they don’t mind destroying the republic, any semblance of the “democracy” they like to cite so often, and any remaining reverence for the Constitution they continuously pretend to respect.  They are a pernicious bunch of traitors.  They loathe Trump because he is not part of the establishment, the Deep State that fights so underhandedly against him day by day.  They can’t control him the way they have so obviously controlled just about all previous presidents except Reagan.

darkangelpolitics

"Leftists love, crave, and often create what they value most: leverage — leverage over anyone with a modicum of power, in the House, the Senate, the DOJ, the FBI, the IRS, etc.  Leverage is their weapon.  They don’t have any over Trump.  They thought they did, with the Epstein “files,” but it’s become clear that Epstein was a monster whose closest pals were Democrats.  Trump is the man who turned him in to the FBI decades ago and had no further relationship with him.  That is why Epstein hated him so much; he was both furious and jealous.  That the Dems even deigned to hope those files would bring Trump down was nothing but wishful thinking. 

"The American left, no longer remotely related to the party of JFK, is now fully Marxist.  In some parts of the country — Michigan and Minnesota, for example — it is Marxist jihadist.  NYC just elected one of those.

"The Democrat party no longer has any respect for the Constitution.  As Obama often commented, he hated it because it said what the government must not do.  Like a true Marxist, Obama believed that the government should control what people do, are allowed to say, where they can go, what they can own." . . . More...

Homegrown monsters and imported killers: America’s twin revolving doors

. . . "President Trump immediately labeled the attacker an “animal” who “will pay a very steep price,” while thanking the National Guard and law enforcement. Vice President JD Vance offered prayers for the wounded. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the deployment of 500 additional troops to Washington, declaring, “This cowardly act will only stiffen our resolve. We will never back down.”

"Hegseth’s response was more than rhetoric — it was a call for fortified, layered law enforcement: local police buying critical seconds, state National Guard bridging gaps, and federal agencies turning intelligence into decisive action. Without this coordinated bulwark, predators exploit the seams.

"Yet no enforcement system can fully compensate for open borders and lenient judges. The attacker slipped through Biden’s disastrous 2021 Afghan airlift with little (no) vetting. The ongoing terrorism probe suggests possible ties to radical or narco-terror networks — violence imported wholesale because political haste overruled security." . . . More...

Appeals Court Shuts Down Judge’s Order Holding Trump Officials in Criminal Contempt

TFPP Wire 

"A federal appeals court has halted a lower court judge’s attempt to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt, ruling that the move posed serious legal concerns. The decision stops a months-long push by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to punish officials over deportation flights to El Salvador.

Key Facts:

• On Friday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to void Judge Boasberg’s probable cause finding for contempt.
• Judges Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas, both Trump appointees, formed the majority.
• The contempt case stemmed from flights deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador.
• Boasberg, an Obama appointee, claimed the administration disobeyed his order to turn planes around.
• The Supreme Court had already overturned Boasberg’s original order earlier this year.

The Rest of The Story:"The clash began in March, when the Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport Venezuelan nationals accused of gang activity. These flights were bound for a heavily guarded Salvadoran prison known for holding violent offenders.

"At an emergency Saturday hearing, Judge Boasberg ordered all planes already in the air to turn back. His order was issued under unusual urgency and based on a rarely invoked statute.

"Despite the Supreme Court later striking down his directive, Boasberg pursued contempt charges against administration officials, alleging they had deliberately ignored his ruling. He argued that the government’s actions warranted criminal accountability.

"The administration challenged the contempt finding, saying it forced the executive branch into an impossible position — obeying what they saw as an unlawful order or facing prosecution. The appeals court issued an “administrative stay” in April to pause the proceedings while reviewing the case.

Commentary: "This ruling is another example of appellate courts stepping in to curb judicial overreach. The majority opinion recognized that forcing an executive branch to comply with a legally questionable order undermines constitutional separation of powers.

"Judge Boasberg’s approach in this case was less about law and more about forcing a political showdown. By pushing contempt charges even after the Supreme Court invalidated his order, he appeared intent on punishing rather than seeking a lawful resolution.

"Such tactics erode public trust in the judiciary. The role of a judge is to interpret the law, not to maneuver politically when a ruling has been overturned at the highest level.

"The appeals court correctly protected executive authority here. The Constitution envisions coequal branches of government, not one branch holding another hostage through dubious legal maneuvers.

"Boasberg’s pattern in cases involving the Trump administration reflects a predisposition toward obstruction rather than fair adjudication. His rulings often invite higher court reversals, suggesting that they are crafted with political outcomes in mind rather than legal soundness." ... More...
