DAILY PRAYER: Dear God, We come to you today asking for your blessing on our family. Guide us in all that we do to love and support one other and give us the wisdom and courage we need to grow our families into reflections of Your love and grace in the world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

BIG BEAUTIFUL BUDGET BILL: The House has passed the bill Trump wants. Now it’s up to the Senate.

BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL: A quick update on improvements to our southern border security. [2:13]

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PWDXBo-QR_c to take a short tour of a typical confessional.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: [10:28] – I’m thinking they should investigate everybody who is squawking about DOGE. Maybe rank them by the length and decibels of their rants to go after the worst first.

JOYFUL MEMORIES: If you live in central New York, you should DEFINITELY check out Bobbie Lynn for all your photo needs. She did the joint birthdays party the kids threw for us and, despite very poor lighting conditions, captured some heart-melting memories.

KAMALA: CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1894058707341992140 [:35] to hear her thoughts on the LA fires. Thank You, Lord, for sparing us four years of this in the White House.

MAHA: The porky governor of Illinois tweeted, “RFK Jr’s views are dangerous, misguided, and deeply disturbing. Frankly, his policies will hurt people. I will push back on any attempts to disrupt the health and safety of Illinoisans.” Best response: “You don’t have to exert yourself to pushing back. You can just lean against it, that’ll suffice.”

MAINE: After Republican Rep. Laurel Libby sent out a social media post about the high school track team that only won the state championship because of the male who competed as a female, the Maine House’s Democratic majority voted to censure her. Libby is now no longer allowed to speak on the house floor or vote until she issues an apology. She says she does not plan to apologize.

Wikipedia’s article says about this incident: “Libby gained national attention after posting an unblurred photo of a transgender teen on Facebook criticizing both the underaged girl and the school for allowing her to participate with other female players.” The “girl” in question is 100% dude. He doesn’t look like he’s even socially transitioned, much less taken hormones!

The very first sentence in Wikipedia’s article on Libby says, “Laurel Dawson Munsell Libby is an American anti-vaccine activist, Republican politician.” Her big “anti-vaccine” position? Opposing a 2019 Maine law eliminating religious and philosophical exemptions for childhood vaccinations. She has also spoken out against COVID mandates (gasp) and even participated in a mask-mandate protest during which she and several of her colleagues entered the capitol building (double gasp) without masks.

PRESIDENTIAL APPROVALS: [26:18] – If you’ve heard about how Trump’s approvals are crashing, you might want to watch this. Keep in mind that Rasmussen had the best numbers during the campaign. Also, keep in mind that polls asking approval for what Trump has done so far with the border and government spending – the two biggest things he’s been working on – are polling at plus 70.

SOCIAL SECURITY: The SSA has made moves to eliminate DEI, waste, and fraud. The Office of Transformation and ties with DEI research centers are gone, moves that will save approximately $15 million. In addition, the Office of Analytics, Review, and Oversight into other existing parts of the agency.

Trump assured us that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits won’t be touched by his administration “other than if there’s fraud or something.” However, they are clearing the roles of people who are dead or here illegally.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today for the graces we need to fully commit to following You regardless of how hostile the culture may be. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: [18:31] – Tom Homan got to give a strong message to ABC viewers who can’t seem to understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VACkE29d-Qs to see Melania shut down MSNBC’s attempt to score a gotcha.

DOGE: People who are worried about Elon Musk having access to the Social Security numbers we have given to our banks, employers, car loan companies, mortgage holders, insurance providers, credit card companies, and the IRS. FYI, guys … Elon Musk doesn’t need your money.

JUDICIAL ACTIVISTS: On Thursday Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly decided she was the true elected leader of the United States and she blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing “any payment record or payment system of records maintained within the [Treasury] Bureau of Fiscal Service.”

Judge Kollar-Kotelly is the same vile leftist who sentence 75-year-old Paulette Harlow to two years in jail for her part in temporarily blockading the entrance to a late-term abortion clinic. When Paulette’s husband, John, begged the judge to reconsider, citing his wife’s health problems that made him fear that she might die in prison, the judge sneered and told him no because, according to her, 75-year-old Paulette’s protest had been “violent.” Harlow suffers from debilitating diabetes, Hashimoto’s disease, and severe back pain requiring the use of a wheelchair. To add insult to injury, Kollar-Kotelly forbade Harlow, a devout Catholic, from attending Mass while she was under house arrest awaiting trial.

Last week, other judicial activists told police to stand down and allowed hundreds of anti-ICE protesters to walk away scott free during and after they used their bodies to block traffic on a major LA freeway for hours.

PLASTIC STRAWS: Trump promised to end Biden’s ban on plastic straws in federal facilities.

POTUS: In 2021, Biden revoked Trump’s access to intelligence briefings, an entitlement that most former presidents enjoyed. Trump just returned the favor.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: The percentage of Americans who believe athletes should only play on teams that match their birth gender increased from 62% in 2021 to 69% in 2023 to 79% in 2025.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you today for the graces we need to let You shine through us. May we be Jesus with skin on to those who do not know You. In His Holy Name, we pray. Amen.

AI: [2:51] – The image of the beast?

BORDER: Since Trump took office, Border Patrol agents’ encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border have dropped by 92.9%. In the last 19 days of the Biden administration, they averaged 2,087 daily encounters. In the first week of President Trump’s administration, that number was just 148.

CONFIRMATION HEARINGS: An interesting compare and contrast –

CLICK https://rumble.com/v4vtbab-senator-kennedy-absolutely-destroys-fdic-chairman-martin-gruenberg.html [6:48] to watch a clip from May 15-16, 2024, as Sen. Kennedy quietly and persistently challenged the fitness of FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg with damning fact after damning fact.

CLICK https://rumble.com/v6eq8p7-rfk-jr.-makes-sen.-elizabeth-warren-melt-down-at-hearing-no-i-am-not.html [:27] to hear Sen. Warren yell at RFK Jr. for refusing to make an absurd promise. FYI: She was trying to equate suing a company after serving in government with accepting a lucrative position with one after serving in government. As Sen. Kennedy would say, “She’s so dumb, she loses her place in the middle of sex.”

CLICK https://rumble.com/v6es89g-sanders-anti-onesie-bernie-demands-that-rfk-condemn-anti-vax-baby-onesie.html [1:47] to hear Sen. Sanders yell and get all wide-eyed about the message on a baby’s onesie that an organization RKF Jr. founded sells. RKF Jr. no longer has any connection to the organization.

CORRUPTOCRAT: Former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for selling out his office for gold bars and other bribes.

EDUCATION: Comparing the 2024 NAEP Reading and Mathematics Assessments at Grades 4 and 8 with those from the latest pre-pandemic test results showed average scores in fourth grade reading were five points lower, while those for eighth grade reading were five points lower. Similarly, average scores in fourth grade math were three points lower, while for eighth grade, they were eight points lower.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that mandated the defunding of any K-12 school that teaches radical, anti-American ideologies while deliberately blocking parental oversight. Maybe, if CRT and DEI and LGBTQ are removed from the school day, teachers will have time to focus on reading and math again.

HAITI: Haiti’s de facto President Leslie Voltaire once assured us that the Haitian “migrants” pouring over our border were “their best.” Now that Trump is rounding them up and planning to return them, Voltaire says that taking back their alleged “best” would be “catastrophic” for his nation, to the point where he’s already asking for help from other countries … which confirms what Trump has been saying all along.

HAMAS: I don’t know why anyone defends this vile group. CLICK https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1884950364639642100/video/1 [:41] to see what hostage Gadi Moses (80) had to endure during his last moments as a hostage in Gaza. Moses reportedly collapsed after this was filmed. Because of these spectacles, Israel has halted its release of convicted Hamas terrorists.

KASH PATEL: It is enlightening to compare Sen. Josh Hawley’s questions (R-MO) [8:46] with Sen. Adam Schiff’s questions (D-CA). CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1884991236890599799 [:22] to hear Patel tell Sen. Durbin he’s an idiot. Does Durbin demand a background check before agreeing to have his picture taken with someone?

GANGSTA: Whoa. It’s not 2017 any more!

RFK Jr: [5:29] – Personally, I think Rand Paul’s opinions about science count more than those of his career politician colleagues. He not only is a licensed medical doctor, but also the last I heard he still practices medicine when he’s on vacation from Congress.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you to keep Donald Trump and J.D. Vance and their families safe. Please grant us an uneventful inauguration day and a smooth transition with no drama or hijinks marring the confirmations of his nominees. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ATTORNEY GENERAL: [12:49] – Megyn Kelly and Victor Davis Hanson discuss the first confirmation hearing for Trump’s nominee, Pam Bondi.

EDUCATION: The latest Becket Fund Religious Freedom Index found 77% of Americans believe parents should be able to opt their children out of curriculum violating their religious beliefs. This is up 3 points from last year.

EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE: President-elect Donald Trump has unveiled plans to create the External Revenue Service (ERS), a new agency modeled after the IRS but aimed at collecting tariffs, duties, and revenues from foreign trade partners.

HEALTH: Following a comprehensive review of scientific studies, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked the use of Red No. 3 in food products and ingested pharmaceuticals. Companies that use the dye in food and ingested drugs have until Jan. 15, 2027, and Jan. 18, 2028, respectively, to reformulate their products. Consumers are advised to check product labels and avoid those containing Red No. 3, which may also be listed as E127 or erythrosine.

MIDDLE EAST: Biden’s own state department said that Trump’s team was “absolutely critical” in getting the Hamas-Israel cease fire agreement “over the line.” One hour later, Joe Biden took credit for the whole thing.

PERVERT: Award-winning Washington Post cartoonist, Darrin Bell, has been arrested for possession of child abuse pornography. Investigators found 134 videos of child pornography linked to an account he owned and controlled. Bell has routinely depicted Trump and other Republicans as sexual predators and perverts.

POPE FRANCIS: I think I’ll give Jorge’s new memoir a miss. Reviewers say it includes condemnation of young Catholics who are devoted to the Latin Mass, as well as approval for transgender individuals to receive baptism and be godparents and for homosexuals to continue in the homosexual lifestyle because God “loves them as they are.”

SHAMEFUL: Michelle Obama skipped Carter’s funeral and is not planning to attend Trump’s inauguration. The word is that she is on an “extended vacation in Hawaii.” In other bitchy-Democrat-female news, Kamala Harris has reportedly denied Usha Vance access to the VP residence to plan her family’s move.

WIND: Wyoming is concerned about the amount of landfill space old wind turbines are taking up. Wyoming House bill 89 proposes they be buried in the holes from which coal has been mined.

GRAMMY NOTES: Bwahahaha!! [1:48] – I dated a guy once (a looong time ago) who lived on a cul de sac. During one blizzardy day when everyone had to stay home from school, the neighbor kids built a big pile of snow in their practically private roadway and invited him to try to take it out with his jeep. He zoomed through it, then went back inside to warm up while they built it again, only bigger. Again, he came out and drove right through it. The third time was not a charm. He ended up having to buy a new radiator for his vehicle.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We pray today for all the victims of the California fires and thank you for the witness of this beautiful family whose faith and joy in You have allowed them to stand on the ashes of their worldly possession and sing Your praise! Amen. Alleluia!

ABC NEWS: CLICK https://x.com/JackOsbourne/status/1877151676630434100 [:15] to see how David Muir, host of “World News Tonight”, used clothespins to cinch in the waist of his fake fireman’s jacket so he could look more buff as he reported on the deaths and devastation in California.

CALI-FIRES: [13:48] – “Everyone saw this coming.” Don’t tell me Democrat policies aren’t deliberate. I think it’s ironic that this staunch Republican is demanding they get exactly what they’ve been aiming for – i.e., FEDERAL TAKEOVER and MARTIAL LAW … two important steps on the road to the one world government prophesied in Revelation.

DOJ: For two years, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed to Special Counsel, Jack Smith, has investigated Trump in two separate cases—one charging him with election-related crimes and another accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home after he concluded his first term at the White House. As soon as Trump won, both cases were dropped. Trump said he would be firing Smith, who has saved him the trouble by resigning.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1877857173046440257 to hear the delusional old man say, “I think Kamala could have beaten Trump.”

S&G: A federal court has vacated the Biden admin’s radical Title IX rule that sought to elevate trans wants over women’s rights in female locker rooms and showers.

SHAMEFUL: Noesis tweeted, “Their woke ideology is far more important than the lives of their fellow citizens.” Sen. John Fetterman said, “[This] is why we lost.”

Thankfully, the vote received the 60 necessary to move the Laken Riley Act to the floor where it is expected to pass sometime next week.

SLEEP: A recently published study reports that sleep—particularly rapid eye movement (REM) sleep—plays in managing emotional memories. IOW, the unwanted memories that disrupt sleep for those suffering from as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder leave sufferers less able to regulate said unwanted memories. The study noted that “well-rested individuals could override retrieval operations and reduce the emergence of intrusive memory content [while] sleep-deprived individuals failed to suppress the target memories effectively, which remained intrusive over time.” This finding may offer insights into more effective treatments that help sufferers rest and forget.

THANK THE FOUNDERS: The UK does not have the constitutional protections we enjoy courtesy of our First and Second Amendments.

TOBACCO BAN: [5:11] – “Biden’s ban is a gift with a bow and balloons to organized crime cartels with it, whether it’s cartels, Chinese organized crime, or Russian mafia. It’s going to keep America smoking, and it’s going to make the streets more violent,” Rich Marianos, former assistant director of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the current chair of the Tobacco Law Enforcement Network,

On January 6, the House and Senate will hold a joint session to count electoral votes and certify the 2024 United States presidential election. Pray with us that it will go smoothly.

BOOTYJUDGE: On December 31, Biden’s Secretary of Transportation tweeted, “I’m confident that a century from now, future Americans will look back on the work we’ve done—much as we look at the Hoover Dam—and see how the Biden-Harris Administration’s “Big Deal” for infrastructure made big things possible.”

This is the man who was handed 7.5 billion dollars to build EV charging stations and only got seven (7 … as in six plus one) built.

CATHOLIC: To all those who claim the Catholic Church is only pro-birth, not pro-life, your argument doesn’t wash.

FAUXTUS: In one of his (many) FUs to the American people, Joe Biden is awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to Hillary Clinton and George Soros and 16 other people, half of whom aren’t even American citizens.

NEW YORK: New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has ordered soon-to-be-POTUS Donald Trump to appear either in person or virtually for sentencing on Jan. 10. CLICK https://x.com/ABCNewsLive/status/1875289736278851731 [1:18] for a news report.

Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to Merchan’s order by calling it “a direct violation of the Supreme Court’s Immunity decision and other longstanding jurisprudence” and that “President Trump will continue fighting against these hoaxes until they are dead.”

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, let us never become so discouraged by our failures that we stop coming back to You for forgiveness and a fresh start. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BORDER: Remember when Biden took office and halted construction of border wall that was already paid for? He left piles and piles of expensive border wall units sitting around, then put them up for auction for pennies on the dollar. Lone Star State Attorney General Ken Paxton sued to block the sales and won.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND: A whistle blowing vicar says Anglican priests throughout England were urged to modify “problematic” Advent hymns and Christmas carols that might be possibly offensive to non-Christian. One example of offense was affirming that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah. Why am I not surprised to learn that, over the past decade, more than 400 Anglican churches in Britain have shut down due to a lack of attendance and support from the local community?

COVID-19: The Wall Street Journal has done some actual journalism, revealing what those of us who were paying attention knew early in 2020. That is, that the virus was engineered in and escaped from the Wuhan lab in China.

The WSJ further revealed that three scientists from the National Center for Medical Intelligence – John Hardham, Robert Cutlip and Jean-Paul Chretien – reported this fact to the FBI and were told to shut up about it.

It might be news to the WSJ’s readers that all information about the lab leak origin was omitted from presidential briefings. But it wasn’t surprising to those of us who were paying attention. Real journalists told us years ago that the research funding had Tony Fauci’s sticky fingers all over it.

FAUXTUS: That’s about 52 years worth of vacation days for your average American. And when Slow Joe was in the office, he rarely worked a full day and never worked overtime.

GALLUP: The number of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. has dropped to 19%. I‘m wondering if the 20% who are not satisfied with our direction, yet approve of Biden performance are mad about Trump’s win.

GEORGIA: A judge in Georgia has issued a ruling forcing Fani Willis to testify under oath before the State Senate to answer for the crimes she committed in the Trump “lawfare” case.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: I’ve heard this used to be a respectable magazine.

SINSICK: William (34) and Zachary (36) Zulock both pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, sexual exploitation of their two adopted sons. The gay couple, who lived in Atlanta, have each been sentenced to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole. DA Randy McGinley said, “These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I want to share my friend Hans’ first podcast @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA325997PgM. He recently retired (again) and, Hans being Hans, came up with yet another new thing to keep him busy. We’ve been friends since high school where we shared the school’s morning announcement duties for “WIHS.” Since then, Hans has managed a radio station, owned and operated an ambulance business, trained and used bloodhounds for search and rescue operations, taught me to rappel, became a forest ranger, met and married the love of his life with whom he adopted and raised 4 kids, supported her through becoming a Lutheran pastor, wrote and published a popular series of Christian science-fantasy novels (see “The Gewellyn Chronicles” by Hans Erdman at Amazon) while his beloved was undergoing cancer treatment, retired from the forest service and started a new career in security at a local college, engaged in a number of bicycle mission trips, and served as a bicycling EMT at numerous sporting events.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, I pray for all who will one day be faced with this challenge, that they will receive and embrace the graces needed to say YES. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

VITAMIN D: A paper entitled “Vitamin D: A key player in COVID-19 immunity and lessons from the pandemic to combat immune-evasive variants” in Inflammopharmacology. It summarizes the current knowledge about the role of vitamin D deficiency in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. Vitamin D is well known to have immune-boosting properties.

Dr. John Campbell talks about the paper @ https://rumble.com/v5juldp-new-vitamin-d-paper.html [20:38]. He says the findings apply not just to the coronavirus, but to all viral infections as well as many cancers.

Note: Taking your Vitamin D with your biggest (i.e., highest in fats) meal can boost uptake by as much as 50% over taking it any other time of the day. Also it is recommended you refrigerate your Vitamin D, as it slows loss of potency over time.

According to Consumer Lab, supplementing with Vitamin D can cost as little as a penny per day (Kirkland Signature, aka Costco brand) D3. If you don’t have a Costco, CL’s other penny-a-day top pick is Vitacost D3, which you can get at Vitacost.com. Slightly more expensive (4 to 7 cents) CL recommendations include Doctor’s Best Vegan D3, NOW High Potency D3, and Nature Made D3.

N.b., Consumer Lab recommendations are based not only on cost, but also on purity and accuracy of label/contents. I have a membership and am happy to look up a supplement for you.

CLICK https://x.com/EricAbbenante/status/1863809028737966508 [1:59] to hear Jon Stewart’s riff.

Hunter has been convicted of failing to pay taxes in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and of making an illegal firearm purchase on October 12th of 2018. This part of the pardon not only keeps Hunter out of prison, but also means he has technically never been convicted of a felony. Apparently, being found guilty doesn’t count; the crime isn’t registered until the sentencing occurs. No sentence; no crime.

But the pardon also covers any crimes he may have committed or been involved in beginning January 1, 2014. In 2014, Hunter was tapped to serve on the board of the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, despite having zero relevant expertise. This would be the same time when then-President Obama made then-VP Joe Biden the country’s point man for all things Ukraine. The non-specific pardon protects Joe more than Hunter.

I often think that Joe’s first wife, baby daughter, and son Beau dying young was a grace from God to keep them from being corrupted and damned forever.

J6: “Remember when the J6 Committee deleted a ton of their evidence after Republicans won the House?

President Joe Biden, Dec 1, 2024 – “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form.“

“Almost never brought to trial” kinda reminds me of the J6ers who were incarcerated on a charge the Supreme Court said was b.s. Unlike them, Hunter Biden hasn’t spent even one day behind bars.

“JOE BIDEN WAS THE PRIMARY CHAMPION OF THE THREE STRIKES LAW. Hunter committed dozens of extremely well documented crimes. This was covered up during the 2020 election — the Dems politicized Hunter by protecting him, not the other way around.” – Shaun Maguire on X

“To be clear, the DNC DID NOT want Joe to pardon Hunter Biden. It was pretty obvious as a father Joe would sign a pardon. In his last “screw you” to the party that screwed him over, he did it anyway. This will give a lot of cover for Trump to pardon whoever he wants.” – Chief Trumpster on X

BORDER: [7:39] – “Secure borders saves lives.” – Tom Homan

CARRAGEENAN: A study entitled “Carrageenan and insulin resistance in humans: a randomised double-blind cross-over trial” was published last week in BMC Medicine. It reports on a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 20 young, healthy male participants who received either 250 milligrams of carrageenan or a placebo twice daily over two weeks. The results showed that, overweight participants experienced lower insulin sensitivity, increased brain inflammation, and higher levels of inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6).

Carrageenan is a common food additive used as a thickener. I can be found in everything from ice cream to plant-based milk.

All I can say about this is … CRAP!

CBS: [9:31] – Former CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge says that, in early 2023, she snagged an exclusive interview with Elon Musk. CBS told her they would not air it live, because they were afraid what the outspoken tech mogul might say. Herridge says, “This is someone whose DNA is free speech and how do you tell someone who’s committed to free speech that your network can only do it taped and only if they edit it and it can only be on their platform? I couldn’t go back to him with that.” So the interview never happened.

FATHER CARLOS MARTINS: [13:13] – When I heard the original inflammatory story, my first thought was that Satan had finally found a way to interfere with this holy man’s very successful ministries.

P.S., it’s allegations.

HEALING THE NATION: [7:26] – Harvard professor and author Dr. Arthur Brooks breaks down how to navigate the political landscape and division in politics on ‘One Nation.’ Brooks is the author of one of my favorite books – Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism. New York: Basic Books, 2006

HUNTER: President Joe Biden has signed “a full and unconditional pardon” for his son, Hunter Biden. The pardon includes not only his tax evasion and gun convictions, but also any offenses that Hunter Biden “committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 1, 2024.”

CLICK https://x.com/tomselliott/status/1863537344038740264 [9:03] to hear a super cut of political commentators praise Biden for promising to respect the courts’ decisions about Hunter with lots of unflattering comparisons to Trump. “He is living what it means to have a rule of law.“

CLICK https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1863570068908499108 [1:27] to hear Scott Jennings’ awesome commentary on the pardon. Biden is “leaving office in complete and total disgrace. He is a liar. There is no other way to spin this today. This has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the character of Joe Biden.”

Personally, I’m relieved. Having Hunter’s dad pardon him means nobody can pressure Trump to do it. It will also reduce the onus of Trump pardoning the J6 political prisoners.

As for Hunter … he will answer to God.
