Jim Crow Joe

Biden has granted clemency to some horrible felons but apparently saved the worst for last.

Among the convicts Biden has spared from the accountability sought by judges and juries is Jorge Avila-Torrez, a "serial killer of the highest degree" who kidnapped, raped, and brutally murdered two little girls, Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9, in 2005. The beneficiary of Biden's commutation not only subjected the girls to nightmarish sexual torture but stabbed them repeatedly — Hobbs 20 times, including in her eyes, and Tobias 11 times.

Avila-Torrez also murdered 20-year-old U.S. Navy Petty Officer Amanda Jean Snell in 2009 and raped and nearly killed another woman in 2009.

Biden also commuted the sentence of Thomas Sanders. A federal jury in Louisiana announced in 2014 that Sanders should be put to death for murdering Suellen Roberts and her 12-year-old daughter, Lexis Roberts, in the fall of 2010.

Iouri Mikhel was also among the names of those whose sentences Biden commuted. Mikhel, a serial killer who immigrated to the U.S. from Russia, was sentenced to death in 2007 for kidnapping and savagely murdering five people.

After kidnapping their victims, Mikhel and his comrade, Jurijus Kadamovas, reportedly extorted money from their families and friends. Despite having received millions in ransom funds, the duo killed their captives anyway, then dumped them in a reservoir near Yosemite National Park.

Daryl Lawrence, another murderer who will now avoid the death penalty, killed Columbus Police Officer Bryan Hurst during a bank robbery in 2005.

The White House's list of individuals now receiving commuted sentences is full of names of murderers convicted for similarly ghastly crimes.

That was Biden's "Fuck you, Trump!" move.

Biden named 19 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Saturday, including former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and billionaire globalist George Soros.

As Biden's presidential term comes to a close, he has also commemorated former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming with the Presidential Citizens Medal on Friday.

Cheney was given the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Joe Biden on Thursday for her role in the special House committee that publicized an account of the riot at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. As she was given the award, it was announced that she had put "the American people over party," to a standing ovation from the audience, according to The Hill.

Cheney's conduct during the special committee has come into question after it was revealed that she had communicated with witness Cassidy Hutchinson, who went on to make outlandish claims, with the knowledge of Hutchinson's attorney.

Jim Crow Joe evidenced his desire Monday to continue burning bridges and salting the earth on his way out of office, this time announcing a ban on all new offshore oil and gas drilling along the entire U.S. Atlantic coast and eastern Gulf of Mexico, as well as in Pacific waters off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington and in the Northern Bering Sea bordering Alaska.

While Biden has approved numerous offshore wind projects that not only can have a devastating impact on wildlife and the environment but generate a tremendous amount of pollution, the White House framed his decision to ban offshore drilling as a way to help "ensure our oceans and coasts are resilient to the threats of climate change and nature loss."

Biden's ban, executed under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, applies to roughly 334 million acres of the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf running down America's eastern flank from Canada to the southern tip of Florida; to 250 million acres of federal waters off the West Coast; and to 44 million acres of the Northern Bering Sea.

The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act does not afford presidents the explicit authority to revoke such a ban and put federal waters back into development, reported CNN. Consequently, President-elect Donald Trump will likely need the Republican-controlled Congress to step up and change it before he can undo Biden's ban.

He did this on the way out the door because:

• He doesn't actually believe in the policy or he would've done it a long time ago; it's only something the democrats can try to use in future advertising and fundraising boilerplate
• He thinks it'll add a little polish to his "legacy" which will need all the help it can get
• He knows damn well the republicans will immediately reverse it

It's meaningless, performative, hollow, and an insult to the intelligence of every 'Murican citizen.

Just like the rest of Biden's presidency.

Biden has no guiding principles. He never did in his fifty years in Washington.

Biden's outgoing acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Patrick Lechleitner admitted that the administration "could have done more" on immigration enforcement.

In a press meeting Biden passed over to Kopmala (ex-senator from California) and told her to "fire away", then after a pause added: "no pun intended".

Add that to Genocide Joe's legacy- making jokes about the tragic ongoing California wildfires.

Worst. President. Ever.

Jim Crow Joe has spent his career claiming achievements not his own and spinning yarns, tanking his 1988 presidential campaign, for instance, both with lies about easily disproven academic achievements and by plagiarizing a speech nearly verbatim  with accompanying autobiographic details and Welsh syntax — from a British politician.

Owing to the decrepitude that spiked his 2024 presidential campaign, the 82-year-old democRAT has found it increasingly difficult in recent years to knit convincing claims — such as when he pushed the unsubstantiated "suckers" and "losers" smear against Trump; pushed the false "very fine people" hoax in his often told presidential origin story; speaking of his uncle's supposed consumption by New Guinea cannibals; detailing his meeting with a then dead Amtrak conductor; and claiming he was at Ground Zero in New York City the day after 9/11.

The great liberator
At the outset, Biden, who proved unable to seal the deal over the previous 15 months, claimed responsibility for the ceasefire and hostage deal reached this week between Israel and Hamas without once mentioning the major role played by Trump.

The great liberator
At the outset, Biden, who proved unable to seal the deal over the previous 15 months, claimed responsibility for the ceasefire and hostage deal reached this week between Israel and Hamas without once mentioning the major role played by Trump.

Netanyahu reportedly thanked Trump personally for "helping bring an end to the suffering of dozens of hostages and their families."

The great unifier
Biden stated in his speech that he kept his "commitment to be president for all Americans, through one of the toughest periods in our nation's history."

While technically president for all Americans, Biden routinely attacked and dehumanized those who did not support him, characterizing tens of millions of Trump supporters as "garbage"; suggesting House Republicans were worse than his old segregationist buddies; and stating that his political opponents not only "represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic" but threaten "the brick and mortar of our democratic institutions."

Biden's Department of Justice held Trump allies to a different standard from their fellow travelers; disproportionately targeted pro-lifers while actively advancing radicals' abortion agenda; and treated concerned parents and traditional Christians out of line with the administration's thinking as potential threats.

Biden's State Department and other elements of his administration undertook efforts to both directly and indirectly suppress dissenting voices and critics, particularly on the right. Various departments and agencies during his tenure were, for instance, credibly accused — as they were in the New Civil Liberties Alliance's amended September complaint in the case Dressen, et al. v. Flaherty, et al. filed on behalf of five individuals who suffered vaccine-related injuries — of working to "coerce, induce, and collude with social media platforms to censor, suppress, and label as 'misinformation' speech expressed by those who have suffered vaccine-related injuries."

Biden, in another apparent exception to his commitment to be a president for all, pushed through his Department of Education's woke new Title IX rules depriving women of safe, sex-segregated spaces in schools, including bathrooms and changing rooms, revealing that young women, as a cohort, were apparently a lesser priority than gender ideologues and transvestite activists.

The great enforcer
Biden recycled the shaky claim in his speech that he brought violent crime to a 50-year low. The 82-year-old Democratic has said this on many occasions, relying on FBI statistics in which "violent crime" accounts for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.

There are number of issues with Biden's reliance on FBI data. For starters, nearly one-third of law enforcement agencies have neglected to submit crime data to the FBI in recent years. In 2022, for instance, crime-ridden cities like Phoenix, New York City, and Los Angeles failed to submit crime data.

This problem of unreliability is compounded by the FBI's apparent willingness to fudge the numbers. The Crime Prevention Research Center reported in October that the FBI stealthily changed its crime data for 2022. Whereas previously the bureau claimed violent crime fell by 2.1% that year, it adjusted the statistics to indicate that violent crime actually jumped by at least 4.5%.

The great connector
Just as Biden likely did not oversee a precipitous drop in crime, he also didn't bring multitudes of Americans online, as he suggested in his speech.

Biden insinuated that his administration had something to do with delivering internet to the masses, stating, "We have launched a new era of American possibilities: one of the greatest modernizations of infrastructure in our entire history, from new roads, bridges, clean water, affordable high-speed internet for every American."

Biden appears to have been referring to his $42.5 billion scheme to expand broadband internet to bring internet access to roughly 25 million people, which turned out to be a complete dud — perhaps more useless than his promised electric vehicle charging station network.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ratified by Biden in 2021 included a provision for billions to be blown on the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program.

Brendan Carr, a Republican commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission, noted on June 14, "In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans. Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest."

account of his strategic error, should face accountability.
Former President Joe Biden tried his apparent best to set a number of records, including the number of days spent on vacation as well as the number of illegal aliens overseen stealing into the homeland. He certainly set a record when issuing pardons and commutations. In fact, no president appears to have come even remotely close except for Andrew Johnson, who padded his numbers with pardons for ex-Confederates during the Reconstruction era.

In his interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, which aired Wednesday night, President Donald Trump raised the matter of his predecessor's pardons, noting that despite issuing them like they were going out of style, Biden failed to pardon the most obvious candidate — himself.

Among those who received pardons or commutations from Biden were:
Anthony Fauci, who has his fingerprints all over decades of dangerous gain-of-function experiments as well as the COVID-19 origins cover-up;
retired Gen. Mark Milley, who while serving as the most senior uniformed adviser to Trump, telephoned his communist Chinese counterpart to reassure him that he would provide him with actionable warnings should his commander in chief decide to attack;
members of the Jan. 6 committee, including Liz Cheney, who were accused by congressional investigators of likely violating numerous federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 1622, which prohibits any person from suborning perjury;
select U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metro police officers who advanced shaky narratives before the committee;
multitudes of convicts caught pushing deadly drugs;
murderous child rapists, cop killers, and at least one mass murderer; and
a disgraced former comptroller who stole $53.7 million from her struggling Illinois city.
