Inauguration Day 2025 was a great day for America, the beginning of our nation’s comeback to greatness, and the end of an era most Americans consider a steep descent into progressive madness and self-destruction. But even as Donald J. Trump reclaimed the White House on Monday and began launching a series of orders to restore sanity and put America First, evicted tenant Joe Biden – arguably the worst President in our country’s history – raced in his final hours to set as many fires as possible on his way out the door.
Literally within the last 15 minutes of his term, for example, the doddering puppet pardoned five members of the Biden crime family – brother James Biden and wife Sara; sister Valerie and her husband John Owens; and brother Francis – to protect them from the incoming administration holding them accountable, possibly for treasonous corruption.
Wait, haven’t the Democrats been self-righteously declaring for eight years that no one is above the law, not even a President?
Biden, predictably, issued a statement, reeking of shameless hypocrisy, claiming he is merely protecting those family members from Trump’s vengeful political retaliation. “My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics,” stated the bitter, angry hypocrite.
The irony here is that it is the Democrats who have spent the last eight years targeting their political enemies – most notably their hated arch-enemy Trump – with merciless and relentless partisan lawfare. Biden’s statement accuses Trump of precisely the strategy to which his own Party has resorted:
Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage their reputations and finances.
Yes, that is precisely why the Democrats engage in it with such fervor: it suits their politics of personal destruction. It is exactly the kind of vicious persecution the cruel J6 Committee brought to bear against the Capitol “insurrectionists,” many of whom Trump rightfully plans to pardon (when Biden pardons someone, it is to protect political cronies; when Trump pardons someone, it is because he or she has been unjustly targeted politically).
But his family’s get-out-of-jail-free card is only the culmination of a spree in which Biden passed out pre-emptive pardons like Halloween candy. He also pardoned COVID pandemic monster Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was at the center of one of the worst crimes against humanity in the modern era; woke General Mark Milley, who fretted over the existential threat of “white rage” and once admitted that if Trump ordered an attack on China, he would call the ChiCom regime and warn them; and ironically, the members of the House committee that persecuted the J6 protesters.
“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement. Revealingly, that assertion runs directly counter to what the J6 prisoners were told by the Justice Department back in November, when they were threatened that accepting a future pardon from Trump would confirm their guilt:
[A] pardon at some unspecified date in the future … would not unring the bell of conviction. In fact, quite the opposite. The defendant would first have to accept the pardon, which necessitates a confession of guilt.
Wouldn’t that also apply to Fauci, Milley, the J6 inquisitors, Biden’s son Hunter, and the other pardoned Biden family members? No, because as the Democrats see it, a pardon for their comrades protects them from political retribution; a pardon for Trump supporters, by contrast, damns them as guilty for all time. This is the gospel according to the Party that claims to be the standard-bearer for democracy against fascism.
True to his Party’s pro-crime stance, Biden also commuted the life sentence for Native American activist Leonard Peltier, the radical Left’s celebrity-beloved icon convicted of killing two F.B.I. agents in 1975 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He gave a posthumous pardon to pan-African and racial separatist Marcus Garvey, whom he referred to as a “renowned civil rights and human rights leader.” Old Joe also commuted the sentences of nearly all prisoners on federal death row to life in prison without the possibility of parole (as well as commuting the sentences of 1,500 people who were on home confinement, the largest number of commutations by a president in a single day).
Trump said after his inauguration that Biden had pardoned “political thugs” who were “very, very guilty of very bad crime.” Indeed.
Biden also issued a series of policy decisions, many of them executive actions, intended to further his agenda and to throw up roadblocks to changes Trump had promised to make. They included, among others: removing Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism;; approving U.S.-supplied long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia by Ukraine, as well as supplying Ukraine with American anti-personnel mines and announcing more sanctions targeting Russia’s energy sector; cancelling student loans for more than 150,000 more borrowers (bringing the total to more than five million); and extending deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Sudan, Ukraine, El Salvador and Venezuela.
Trump remains unruffled. “Fear not, these ‘orders’ will be terminated shortly,” he said.
Leftists are not builders; they are destroyers. This is perfectly exemplified by ex-President Joe Biden’s petulant, destructive trail of a record number of pardons, many of them pre-emptive, which set a dangerous precedent for presidential power. “We have never had such a self-serving and corrupt president in our history,” judged my friend Peter Schweizer, bestselling author and president of the Government Accountability Institute.
Good riddance, because as Trump put it in his inaugural speech, “From this moment on, American decline is over.”

A piece of crap right to the end.
The irony is that by pardoning these low-lifes (before even being charged), he’s admitting their guilt.
Think of the shear number of Americans who were labeled “GUILTY” by Biden and his Marxist pyramid scheme.
Trump just pardoned America, unless you voted for Que Mala.
The DC cops a.k.a. Nancy’s brown-shirts fired on a static crowd not to disperse, but to inflame.
With the help of chickenshit provocateurs like Ray Epps, BLM pricks like John Earle Sullivan, AntiFa low-lifes & FBI dressed as MAGA, the patriots were set up and used for the Democrat’s own version of their Reichstag Fire.
The destructive evil the DNC scheme upon normal citizens is jaw-dropping.
Yes, an Epoch Times reporter was inside and John Sullivan got her attention since he, and his friend, were pushing people and encouraging them to crash through the doors.
As I was flipping channels, all of the MSM, “INSURRECTION” like it was a tweet they got from the higher ups to then repeat it, there is Sullivan just walking by and a CNN reporter grabbed him up and asked how it was inside. He’s then an eyewitness that they used on shows. WAS HE ARRESTED AND THROWN IN JAIL or revealed as an insider and nothing done?
Greatest traitor in American history.
They hate our system, want to install a commie one.
Burn it all down to rebuild the perfect, Marxist utopia. Cloward-Piven all the way.

How right you are, Kasandra — Biden was the single worst president the U.S. has ever had, with the possible exception of James Buchanan, the 15th president, who preceded Abraham Lincoln. Well, history repeats itself — one piece of crap president followed by another savior!
I agree that the demented pervert was a horrible president but you left out wilson as one of the worst. he helped get the regressive income tax approved. That is one of the worst things that ever happened to the average citizen.
Thank you for writing this article that speaks plainly to the corruption of a horrible and corrupt sociopath who held all sane Americans captive for four years. Or at least his handlers did since he didn’t even know what day it was!
A few of these pardoned could have the beneficial effect of driving a wedge between the FBI and liberal Democrats.
IMO, the FBI under Hoover was biased way too much to the right But after Hoover died, and the nasty stories about him came out in the now-it-can-be-told fashion of spineless reporters, the FBI started tacking to the left…..and overcorrected in the ensuing twenty years.
The new left-wing FBI made a splash in the frame-up job it did on Richard Jewell in the immediate aftermath of the Olympic Park Bombing in Atlanta. It has been in the Dems’ pocket ever since…
But …
Today, Biden pardoned a man who was probably guilty of murdering two of its own. (The trial was less than optimal, but the evidence was strong/it was either straight up or tampered with, and no serious evidence has been produced to show tampering.)
This will not make the FBI happy.
After Richard Jewell, the FBI destroyed the reputation of virologist Steven Hatfill, ran over his foot, and fined him for being run over.
Clint Eastwood deserves a medal for clearing the name of martyred hero Richard Jewell.
All those who are still Supporters of Biden should all go and Exile themselves to a deep Dark Forest for the rest of their lives and live as Hermits
The irony is that Biden’s bullshit policies nearly sent them (and us) to live much worse than hermits.
Insanely idiotic policy (both green & DEI) was endorsed for over a decade in LA. So, now there’s no longer forrest to hermit in. Just the hellscape of ashes, embers, and illegal alien looters.
Dr. Fsuci was at the center of “one of the worst crimes against humanity in the modern era.” Wouldn’t you call that a bit of an overreaction?
Not when one looks at the massive damage caused by lockdowns and the deaths that are still occurring today because of the mRNA injections.
You mean funding the development of a bioengineered virus to infect people, which led to the deaths of millions; and then continually lying about it, preventing the use of therapeutics, then changing the definition of a vaccine so you can make a bank off a product that kills and injures millions more? Not to mention destroying thousands of small businesses with a massive transfer of wealth to the ultra-rich, causing a massive mental health crisis, retarding the development of children with lockdown policies, etc. Yeah, I guess it’s not that bad.
The mass murder of 1 million Americans with a lab created virus that was not supposed to be created (gain of function) and was funded by US dollars. As Fauci announced, on video in 2017, affected the Trump administration. It just, Oops, leaked out from a lab in China in Trump’s re election year. Oh, yes, it did kill people in 2020 long before the vaccines were rolled out. It was called SARS2 or Covid 19.
Is it possible that China created the virus to address its population problem? The one child policy produced a surplus of retired seniors to be supported by fewer workers. A virus lethal to the elderly but rarely to the young might have seemed an effective, if heartless, remedy.
Over 7,077,725 people worldwide died! Those are WHO stats.
He funded gain-of-function research on an already known deadly virus with CHI(CCP)NA. What could go wrong?
There are Americans who don’t even deserve to be buried on American soil. I’m talking about those who used their positions in government to enrich themselves and betray the free world, for which millions died defending and building it. All this so that traitors will do everything to destroy it while enriching themselves. They are also traitors to future generations. They deserve nothing but my most absolute contempt.
Might we refer to Kamala as “the Marxists’ most brilliant prosecutor”?
Her biggest courtroom challenge was swaying the voter.
YouTube and other platforms provided the average voter with never-before accessible podcasts and videos of the history of Marxism, and the myriad examples of their theories at work, from the old grainy clips of Mao’s struggle sessions, to expertly edited history classes. Hillsdale College comes to mind.
Liberated from the 4 year struggle session.
Waiting until the last minute shows that even he is aware that this is nothing to be proud of.
I always said he wasn’t as senile as he was pretending to be.
He knew exactly what he was doing when he was destroying america.
He shook things up, just as Simone Biles wanted him to.
THE ACLU is ready, with their Judges who already have their “UNCONSTITUTIONAL” counters, to put a road block on most all of Trump’s EOs. They’ve been advertising it for months… “like we did his first four years.” I don’t recall them doing even one to Biden or any Democrat President. They fight for the protesters Right to Destroy, “NO TOUCHING! NO TOUCHING!” and get away with $$$ due to their lawsuits, mostly against corrupt city attorneys who settle out of court… Spreading the Wealth.
PROTECTION ORDERS FOR CRIMINALS??? “Come on Man… those are our future voters and with all the millions we allowed in, millions to win every election.”
BILLIONS SPENT ON ILLEGALS. A friend’s daughter lives in NYC which is overrun by ILLEGALS. Tourists have a hard time finding affordable hotels with most having to travel, unexpectedly, to New Jersey.
EL PASO BORDER CROSSING… CLOSED TO ALL ILLEGALS. (I’ve crossed that border countless times, two years ago too. The El Paso downtown was full of ILLEGALS, many sleeping on the sidewalks with all businesses closed. The Hotels are locked. No taxis in the area. The line of cars, four hours minimum to cross.)
THE ILLEGALS that are seen walking on highways, is actually a BUFFER ZONE before Mexico and Guatemala. They DO NOT WALK from their countries, they take buses to the border, now walk up to a mile to the Mexican border. While in Chiapas in 2022, a newscast showed a large parking lot with white unmarked buses with lines of people getting in them. The TV reporter: “The ARMY is going to escort this caravan to the border!” SO MEXICO WAS HELPING THEM SO….. FFFFFF- THEM! There were the American protesters with a large banner: “NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL!” REALLY… I BET THEY WERE REQUIRED TO SHOW THEIR PASSPORTS! They should have told the Mexican Federales, “No papeles senor. No need. No Human is Illegal.” ONE-WAY!
(THE HAGS ON RAGS MARCH IN DC rented all available hotels months before the election thinking Kamala was going to win, “The First _______.” Trump wins… now a protest. NO ROOMS FOR MAGAS!)
TRUMP AND AMERICA DODGED A BULLET!
Leftist ideology is insulting to human dignity. It assumes we can’t live without elitist guidance from the likes of the man child john Kerry.. Morally, those elites are typically reprobate,, whole given to self involved ‘actualization. That means they don’t care about anyone but themselves and their dark, nihilistic mindset. Very, very few of them has ever really served the wider community.
For example, the recently departed Jimmy Carter’s Habitat For Humanity was a display of his own ill conceived superiority than helping souls in need.
Biden lived up to his evil reputation right to the very end. Not surprising, really. The best one can hope for now is to never read about or see him and his hoary wife again on any media platform. May they languish on the dung heap of history for the rest of their days.
DO PARDONS COVER FUTURE CRIMES? Let’s say Hunter relapses, which he will now that the Lights are not on him, and he gets caught with coke, meth, and/or crack? Pardoned? I guess The Big Guy wouldn’t be there to save him.
CAN A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT indict the Biden’s? We’d have to extradite them, RIGHT? We demand their country extradite criminals we want. We got El Chapo! Noriega, a President!
THAT’S OUR ONLY HOPE!
Biden 100% met the job requirements given to him by his puppeteer.
Read the teleprompter as written. Yes, even the word pause.
Never answer questions, ever.
Vacation often to the comfort of your lawn chair on the beach to count sand fleas.
At the end of your term, you will be consumed with insulating everyone who did their part to destroy the country.
You don’t know the whys, wherefores, or even the time of day. That’s OK, Joe. That’s not your job.
And then, Dear Joe, you and your family will go home with your ill-gotten gains.
At last, you can reunite with your Corvette, just a couple of useless buckets of nuts and bolts.
Can’t all those preemptive pardons be torpedoed by EO?
After all, the evidence is there ro prove every single creature pardoned is guilty.
Justice is supposed to be the remedy for evil, (yeah, yeah, I know that’s not how it works in reality, but shouldn’t we at least TRY?) and this entire bunch are so evil they have to be punished. Hard.
Like a wretchedly spoiled little toddler breaking all of the toys that other children played with.
This is who Joe Biden is, was and always will be. Why don’t his so called people see the light?
Will they ever consider even a modicum of introspection? I hope they do before it’s too late.
It’s too late for Joe Biden to grow up but there is still time for many of the full size toddlers he
leaves in his wake.
The ONLY thing Biden did that I can truly appreciate is commuting the sentence of Leonard Peltier who, as is clear from this excellent documentary,(https://youtu.be/RsYAYf_2WQU) was a victim of the same type of FBI corruption as the J6ers.
Perhaps Mr Trump could look at rectifying one particular situation involving Kamala Harris before she became Vice President – the punitive legal campaign against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for their investigative journalism exposing Planned Parenthood’s sale of foetal tissue.
Luckily for Jimmy Carter he will posthumously occupy second place as the worst president in US history as sleaze bag Joe takes over top billing. I’m still trying to figure out how Joe was able to cross the threshold of a Catholic Church, bless himself with Holy Water, much less receive its Sacraments and not burst into flames. Well at least this time, Joe can’t do anymore damage if he figures out the Happy Acres door key code and escapes!
That my friend, is because he is one of them! Jesuit and a deceiver
There were a couple of Jan 6 people who committed suicide while in prison. They should be the focus of a lawsuit for cruel and unusual punishment.
A corrupt Piece of Shit then, now, and forever…
He’s not an “ex-President”; he’s a lying usurper because he stole the election from our TRUE President.
The dems always accuse of what they are guilty of, of which Biden has always been the guiltiest and at the top of the accusing list.
