Nearly 4 Years Later, No Letup in Jan. 6 Prosecutions, Possible Pardons or Not
Julie Kelly, Real Clear Investigations
There is no indication the DOJ will halt the pursuit of J6ers even as the pardon of Hunter Biden raises concerns over the practice of presidential pardons. Shortly after Joe Biden pardoned his son, Trump posted a message on Truth Social referring to the J6ers in what some consider a sign he is considering a similarly broad pardon. “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” president elect Donald Trump wrote.

The ‘Civil Rights’ Era Is Over. Good Riddance To It.
Scott McKay, The American Spectator
These people are hell-bent on destroying it. And not just America, by the way, but the entire concept of Western civilization, from its moral code to its culture to its economics and especially to its politics. Black Lives Matter is the end stage of the civil rights movement. It’s what you get when all the real battles against racism have been fought and won. When the “civil rights” crowd features grifters like Ibram X. Kendi who openly calls for “discrimination” as the answer for past discrimination, the shark has been jumped.

Can the nation wait until Jan. 20?
Byron York, Washington Examiner
Biden, at 82 years old, is no longer mentally and physically up to the job of being a full-time president. For another, Trump has been president before and is running a far smoother transition than he did the first time around, in 2016-2017. In other words, Biden is ready to go, and Trump is ready to replace him. The circumstances are right for a shorter transition. But that will not always be the case. Without an overwhelming crisis it seems unlikely there will be enough political will to make a change. Jan. 20 it is.

AOC: Locking Up People Like Daniel Penny Will Prevent 'Violence on Our Subways'
Brittany M. Hughes, MRCTV.org
AOC said locking up people like Penny - and not the violent man he was protecting people from - is what will ultimately prevent “violence on our subways.” “If we do not want violence on our subways, and the point of our justice system is a level of accountability to prevent a person who does not have remorse about taking another person’s life…I mean, even people who have engaged in manslaughter or have taken a life accidentally express remorse. So a person who has expressed no remorse indicates that there’s a risk that it may happen again.”

In Colorado, a law is set to go into effect that will give illegal aliens free healthcare that will be funded by the taxpayers.

Pathetic Corporate Media Targets Tulsi Gabbard
David Catron, The American Spectator
Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict. Considering the fall of Kremlin ally Bashar al-Assad, Putin may be more open to a deal than he has been thus far. If so, most Americans will feel far safer. And, with advisors like Tulsi Gabbard, Trump will be well prepared to resist the blandishments of the military industrial complex. Nonetheless, the horde will continue to question her competence and loyalty to the nation she has so honorably served for decades. No one with any sense will listen to them.
