It has been evident that President Biden has been on a cognitive decline for years.  Now we read that in the last few days this outgoing president has signed many new bills, most naming post offices and federal buildings. Who told him to sign them?

My favorite of those many bills was the Eliminate Useless Reports Act, designed to cut out frivolous paperwork.  Perhaps during the four years we will have the Eliminate Useless Government Agencies Act, to do the same with government bureaus.

President Biden has also commuted the death sentences of 37 convicted felons on federal death row, an act that the ACLU has pushed for months.  Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, one of the more liberal members of congress, extolled the act. In the NY Post:

Pressley, 50, described the 82-year-old commander in chief’s decision to spare dozens of convicted murderers and rapists from death as a “historic and groundbreaking act of compassion that will save lives, address the deep racial disparities in our criminal legal system, and send a powerful message about redemption, decency, and humanity.”

“The death penalty is a racist, flawed, and fundamentally unjust punishment that has no place in any society,” the congresswoman argued. “For far too long, it has been disproportionately weaponized against Black and brown communities, exacerbated systemic inequities, and failed to make America any safer — which is why we’ve urged the president for years to work with us to abolish the federal death penalty.” 

Weaponized?  Failed to make America any safer?  It is very strange for any democrat to advocate decency after all they have done with their perverted politics. Moreover, some of these criminals have murdered several people, including some children as young as five years old; how is that punishment unjust?

I went to the same high school as a mass murderer, only knowing the man by look; his brother was a friend of mine.  That monster, William Bonin, was one of the last people executed in California.  He tortured and murdered possibly twenty people.  Sometimes execution of these monsters is too nice of a punishment.  Now they get free room and board paid by all of us.

In the various states, there are some 2,200 people sitting on death row; 921 of them are black, 943 white. If Pressley thinks that is racist, should quotas be established?

Anyway, this act by Joe Biden takes the news energy away from his pardoning of Hunter.  I do hate to think of what else Biden will do.

Many Democrats are scared. Adam Schiff has been backtracking; here’s 3 quotes by him. Notice how his message changes when his party finds themselves on the receiving end of the law. Trump has to set things right.

in 2018: “On the day Donald Trump leaves office, the justice department may indict him.”

in 2019:  “I'm strongly in favor of indicting the present when he's out of office.”  

2024:   “I don't think the incoming president should be threatening his political opponents with jail time, that's not the kind of talk we should hear from the president in a democracy.”

The charge of Trump having a Revenge Tour is appearing in some articles, but I think the main anti-Trump campaign is currently paused.  If you go to the ACLU website, you will see that they are readying lawsuits and publicity campaigns to fight many of Trump’s planned actions, especially the deportations.  They have nothing good to say about Trump and consider him to be an enemy of our democracy.  Watch for it. 

The car on the right (1948 Ford) is one that was rebuilt by one of our readers, Jerry and Ann.  They invited me to their house after the big Turning Point America Fest this last weekend.  We met, talked and talked and I found that they are very good people.  Jerry has rebuilt every bit of that car, with a new drive train, interior and front and rear suspensions; only the body is stock. It is beautiful!

When the campaign of constitutional correction starts up, we may start hearing a word used that has not been used in a long time: SEDITION.  It fits with what the democrats did with their January 6 committee and their jailing of people who never engaged in a insurrection.  

Here’s the definition:

§2384. Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Some say this is a stretch of the intent of this law but admit that what the leftists did was an egregious abuse of their authority and law.  It may be up to a judge to decide.

The crime of the Cocaine in the White House still hasn’t been solved.  That may have been part of the unknowns in Biden’s wide pardon of Hunter.  

Megyn Kelly told of when they were investigating the alleged rape of an adult club dancer (later confessed as a hoax) by three players on the Duke Lacrosse Team. They were going from club to club, seeking information on the dancer that accused the players of rape. Now, Megyn is a good looking lady; upon entering the club one of the staff, thinking she was a dancer looking for work, asked her for her stage name.  Megyn is very straight, so when one man suggested “Sugar,” one of Megyn’s staff said, “more like pure white confectioners’ sugar.  She’s not a dancer, but a reporter.”   

Quick and witty reply.

No more newsletters are planned for this year.  So, here I wish you a wonderful New Year!
