Zeisloft: As media freaks over 1 DOGE employee getting IRS access, we learn Biden gave 919 people access

By Ben Zeisloft  | The Western Journal , Commentary The Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency is about to provide a staff member access to IRS data, causing the media and the Democrats to spin into a frenzy. Gavin Kliger, a software engineer who works at DOGE, will be based at the IRS for 120 days, and he will reportedly have access to the tax agency’s data, according to a Monday report from CNN. Kliger will work as a senior adviser for the IRS acting commissioner.

In farewell address, Biden claims sole credit for Israel-Hamas deal, warns of ‘oligarchy’ threat

By Emma Colton  | Fox News President Biden delivered his farewell address to the nation Wednesday evening, taking a victory lap for the cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas and warning Americans about an "oligarchy" in the U.S. that "threatens our entire democracy." "My fellow Americans, I'm speaking to you tonight from the Oval Office. Before I begin, let me speak to important news from earlier today. After eight months of nonstop negotiation, my administration — by my administration — a cease-fire and hostage deal has been reached by Israel and Hamas, the elements of which I laid out in great detail in May of this year," Biden said in his opening remarks.  "This plan was developed and negotiated by my team and will be largely implemented by the incoming administrat...

Vespa: With Biden out and Trump in, America is back

By Matt Vespa | Commentary, TownHall.com You've made it. You’ve survived Joe Biden's failed presidency. This joke of an administration has done nothing but set the world ablaze and make everyone poorer. But now, the work to rebuild our country begins on January 20 when Donald J. Trump is inaugurated once again as the 47th president of the United States. Unlike the past four years of misery, Townhall will cover our great revival under President Trump, but it won't be easy. Democrats in Congress and the mainstream media are going to do everything they can to disrupt and block Trump's America First and Make America Great Again agendas. They prefer the status quo and ignore the will of the American people, who, on November 5, 2024, gave Trump a mandate to restore American greatness an...

Biden confirms he is considering preemptively pardoning Anthony Fauci

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Joe Biden confirmed in an interview with USA Today that he is considering preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney. Following Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter (after months of insisting he would not do so), Politico reported that the president was considering pardoning those he thinks President-elect Donald Trump may target, including Fauci, Cheney and Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff. Biden told USA Today that he has not made a decision on whether or not he will pardon them in his last 12 days in office and that it depends on who Trump appoints to his cabinet. “Well, a little bit of it depends on who he puts in what positions. If in fact, he … here’s how … I was very straightforward with...

Biden honors Dem donor George Soros, Hillary Clinton with Presidential Medal of Freedom, sparking outrage

By Jon Levine and Victor Nava | New York Post President Biden bestowed woke Democratic megadonor George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Saturday — outraging critics  who ripped the selection as a “national disgrace.” Soros, 94, was among the 19 people chosen to receive the nation’s highest civilian honor at the White House, a group that included U2 frontman Bono, actor Denzel Washington and  former senator Hillary Clinton — who also was panned as a recipient. “George Soros spent millions electing soft-on-crime politicians that let criminals wreak havoc in our major cities,” Montana Senator Tim Sheehy told The Post. “Hillary Clinton abandoned our Navy SEALs in Libya.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Lyman: Here’s who Biden’s FBI decided to persecute rather than hunt down real terrorists

By Brianna Lyman | Commentary, The Federalist Imagine how much worse Wednesday’s deadly event would have been had the FBI not taken dangerous grandmothers off the street? Early Wednesday morning, a radical Islamic terrorist drove his truck through a crowd of people celebrating the start of the new year in New Orleans. Fifteen people were murdered and more than 35 injured. But maybe this tragedy could have been avoided if the FBI spent less time targeting parents, Catholics and countless other dissidents and instead focused its resources on catching actual  terrorists. Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed through a crowd in his Ford F-150 Lightning EV truck draped with an ISIS flag before shooting at police officers, who fatally shot Jabbar. Jabbar “recently converted to Islam” and ...

Biden spent one-quarter of his final year on Easy Street as he vacationed or worked remote

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Joe Biden spent nearly a quarter of his final year in office, 24%, in Delaware, at Camp David or in vacation spots, a Daily Caller review of White House pool reports showed. Biden spent 89 full and partial days out of the White House in 2024, not counting days he was taking foreign trips for official business. The president’s time out of the office increased after he dropped out of the presidential race, spending a total of 46 full or partial days in Delaware, Camp David, St. Croix, Nantucket and California from August to the end of the year. The Caller’s count includes the president’s current trip to St. Croix, which the White House has not released the end date of. In 2023, the president stayed until the second of the next year.

CBS News journalist slams media, says most underreported 2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’

By David Propper | New York Post Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer. Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024. “Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.

These three inmates were the only ones on federal death row Biden did not commute

By Melissa Quinn | CBS Colorado President Biden on Monday announced he had commuted the sentences of nearly all federal inmates on death row, with the exception of three who did not receive clemency. There are 37 inmates initially sentenced to death who will be impacted by Mr. Biden's action and will now receive life in prison without the possibility of parole. But the remaining three on death row whose sentences are untouched are: Robert Bowers, convicted for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue; Dylann Roof, convicted of the shooting at the Mother Emanuel AME Church; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted for the Boston Marathon bombing. While Mr. Biden campaigned on ending capital punishment and the Justice Department imposed a moratorium on federal executio...

Joe Biden wrapped: How Delaware’s favorite son fared during his final year in office

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Joe Biden had an eventful last year in office, from losing track of his Defense Secretary to breaking one last promise and pardoning his son, all while dropping out of the presidential race and saying his final goodbye to the Oval Office. Biden’s approval rating hit an all-time low, falling to 34% just two weeks before the end of the year. Biden battled low approval ratings before dropping out of the presidential race, but still managed to fight off a special counsel report, make it to the first debate, and overshadow Vice President Kamala Harris’s closing arguments before her loss. Biden’s 2024 began with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin going MIA as he and the Pentagon forgot to notify the White House about his hospitalization for several d...
