Another Biden Parting Outrage

Recently, President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates, changing their sentences from death to life imprisonment without parole. This decision was made just before his upcoming trip to Italy, where he will meet Pope Francis. In his statement, Biden expressed a principled stance against the death penalty and wanted to prevent the next president from resuming executions, clearly referring to President-elect Donald Trump.

Biden's actions appear politically motivated. He commuted the sentences of prisoners involved in heinous crimes while choosing not to commute the sentences of three high-profile killers: Dylann Roof, Robert Bowers, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who were all involved in racially or religiously motivated mass murders. Biden argued that he believes in stopping federal executions, except in cases involving terrorism and hate crimes. He seemed to base his choices on the public visibility and political implications of each case.

Many Americans hold divided views on the death penalty. Generally, most people have supported it throughout history. Presently, a majority53%favor the death penalty according to Gallup polls. The cases of the prisoners on federal death row are complex, with many convicted of terrible acts. They have undergone the legal process and received appropriate sentences.

Biden's decisions seem to stem from a need to navigate political pressures. He has faced criticism for previous clemency acts and aimed to avoid further political fallout from these pardons. Following the commutations, Republican Senator Tom Cotton criticized Biden’s rationale, arguing that it reveals a lack of principled opposition to the death penalty since the most controversial cases were not commuted. Overall, Biden's decisions regarding these sentences seem more about political expediency than a clear moral stance against the death penalty.

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
