President Joe Biden has pardoned approximately 1,500 people today, in what appears to be the first round of mass clemency announcements that will follow over the next month. [White House Announcement Here]
Apparently, we are to expect a few more waves of clemency notifications.
As New York City continues to devolve into a leftist mess, a result of entrenched ideological control over the functions of government, the police agencies and the court system, Democrat Mayor Eric Adams realizes he’s going to be governing over the ashes unless something changes.
Mayor Adams met with Border Czar Tom Homan today and exits the discussion in full operational support of Homan’s intent, the capture and removal of criminal aliens. During his remarks outlining why he supports the effort, Mayor Adams notes 500,000 children are missing and likely subjected to various levels of alarming exploitation. WATCH:

President Trump pokes Jim Cramer a little bit in the middle of this interview as questions are asked about predictable investments and the stock market. After signing the guest registry at the NYSE, CNBC pundit Jim Cramer gets the opportunity to interview President Trump about the economic and banking policy to be expected in the second term.
Those who follow the specific outcomes of MAGAnomic policy are very optimistic about the future. The economic forecast for stockholders, banks and even cryptocurrency balance sheets are going to be very strong for the next several years. It is only through an intense growth period that the USA can expand the economy enough to begin reducing the deficit and getting out of the debt spiral. WATCH:
.
Nice to see JD Vance in the picture. If MAGAnomics is going to survive as policy beyond Trump, it is going to take JD Vance to believe in it and reject all the other voices in his ear. Donald J Trump investing time, a lot of time, in JD Vance is an investment in our future.
FBI Director Chris Wray announced his decision to resign from office one day before the Inspector General report was released. The report shows that 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were used officially and unofficially during the J6 events. Four entered the Capitol building, another 13 entered the restricted area around the building.
The report found that no official FBI employees participated in the events, but 26 confidential human sources were used. The media are jumping on the part about no FBI employees being present in order to call those who view the FBI as facilitating and coordinating the events of J6 as “conspiracy theorists.” However, the FBI’s use of CHSs is downplayed and dismissed.
A major topline takeaway from the report in general is how much effort the FBI put into investigating the assembly pre J6. When you read the IG explanation of the CHSs [Page 50 and beyond] you get a really good feel for how the FBI was focused and positioned before the day unfolded.

“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
~ Mike Vanderboegh (adapted)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

It’s a good thing for FBI Director Christopher Wray to announce his resignation, because President Trump was going to fire him.
A preplanned resignation allows Director Wray to continue portraying FBI officials and agents as victims, and this approach gives corporate media the time to shine the halos and organize their best magnanimous political exit so far.
Swans will likely wear black necklaces in the reflecting pools at the national mall….. and slow muffled drums will follow Wray to every event.
WASHINGTON DC – “After weeks of careful thought, I’ve decided the right thing for the Bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current Administration in January and then step down,” Wray said Wednesday, according to prepared remarks released by the FBI’s press office.
“My goal is to keep the focus on our mission — the indispensable work you’re doing on behalf of the American people every day,” Wray said.
“In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work,” the director said. (read more)
We are no longer a serious nation anymore. With a cognitively impaired President and a completely missing Vice President, our nation is now fully on auto pilot as the rest of the world laughs at us.
Apparently, there are super-secret drones the size of an SUV showing up in the night sky, attempting to go undetected by flying at night with bright LED lights and stuff.
New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew then says, “I’ve gotten to know people” and “from very high sources” he informs us “Iran launched a mothership, probably about a month ago“, that is apparently parked somewhere “off the east coast of the USA” and launching SUV sized drones to do something dastardly and nefariously nefarious. Because, reasons.
.
From his Google/Youtube account, Van Drew expresses, “serious concerns over the potential link of the drones flying over New Jersey to Iran and the urgent need to immediately take action to neutralize the threat.”
We are no longer a serious nation. Van Drew doesn’t seem to realize this is his outside voice, repeating things told to him by high up people he has gotten to know about things and stuff.
One of the least understood aspects of congressional oversight is the elite group of elected politicians who are charged with congressional oversight over all intelligence activity. This highly important oversight group is called the Intelligence Community “Gang of Eight”.
A position within the Gang of Eight comes as a result of holding one of the following eight positions: 1. The Speaker of the House, 2. The Minority Leader of the House, 3. the Majority Leader of the Senate, 4. the Minority Leader of the Senate, 5. the Chairperson of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence, 6. the minority leader from the same committee; 7. The Chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee and 8. the minority leader of the same committee.
With Senator Marco Rubio being pulled out of the Senate to work as Secretary of State, we have been waiting to see who would be appointed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune to be the Rubio replacement as Senate Intel Committee Chair and Go8 member. It now looks like Sea Island attendee Tom Cotton will take up position as SSCI Chair and Gang of Eight member.
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Republicans have discussed elevating Sen. John Cornyn to chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, according to party officials, a move that would hand Cornyn a prized gavel as consolation for losing his GOP leader bid and could help induce him to run for reelection in two years.
The complication, and almost certain deal-breaker: Cornyn would have to leapfrog the Republican next in line to chair the Intelligence Committee, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Cotton has privately made clear to Cornyn he would claim the position.
