Lindsey Graham Lets Mask Slip, Calls Trump’s Jan 6 Pardons a “Mistake”

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said he believes President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon and release the January 6 hostages was a “mistake.”

During an appearance on NBC, the RINO Senator told Kirsten Welker that the January 6 victims were no better than the Black Lives Matter rioters, who burned down cities across the United States.

Those who protested the legitimacy of the 2020 election lost everything after being thrown in jail as Democrats rushed to frame Trump with a fake narrative that he incited a riot.

However, the media ignored that Trump told protestors to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol.

Welker asked Graham, “Let’s turn now to President Trump’s decision to pardon, to give blanket pardons to, everyone who was convicted of crimes on January 6, including the 172 people who pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement officers. Even his own Vice President said, “If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.” Do you believe President Trump was wrong to issue these blanket pardons to the January 6 defendants?”

Graham responded: “Number one, he had the legal authority to do it, but I fear that you will get more violence. Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer violently, I think, was a mistake because it seems to suggest that’s an okay thing to do.”

“Kamala Harris wanted to raise bail money for people burning down Minneapolis. You know, Biden pardoned half his family going out the door. I think most Americans, if this continues, to see this as an abuse of the pardon power, that we’ll revisit the pardon power of the president if this continues, but as to pardoning violent people who beat up cops, I think that’s a mistake,” he said.

Welker asked, “So, you think it was a mistake of President Trump to issue these blanket pardons? What message does it convey to law enforcement?”

Graham responded: “There’s really been no better supporter of law enforcement in general, and there are a lot of people who supported President Trump in law enforcement who didn’t like this.”

“But he said it during the campaign. He’s not tricking people. You know, Biden promised not to pardon his family.”

“He did. Trump said I’m gonna pardon these people. So, the fact that he did it is no surprise, but I’ll be consistent here,” he added.

“I don’t like the idea of bailing people out of jail or pardoning people who burned down cities and beat up cops whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat.”

Trump 2028?: GOP Lawmaker Proposes Constitutional Amendment for Potential Third Term

A Republican congressman has introduced a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that could pave the way for former President Donald Trump to potentially serve a third term in the White House.

Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced the amendment, stating it would allow a two-term president to serve a third term if the terms were non-consecutive.

Ogles argued the change is necessary to ensure the country can benefit from what he called “bold leadership” during times of crisis.

“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years,” Ogles said in a statement on Thursday.

“He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal.”

The proposed amendment reads:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

The amendment would create a legal framework to allow a president to serve a third term under certain conditions.

If passed, it would add to the historical precedent of non-consecutive presidencies, a distinction currently held only by President Grover Cleveland, who served as both the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, currently limits presidents to two terms.

This was established after Franklin Delano Roosevelt served an unprecedented four terms, setting a new precedent for presidential term limits.

While the proposed amendment aligns with Rep. Ogles’ vision for Trump’s leadership, Trump himself has often joked about the idea of a third term.

His remarks, frequently made in jest, have nonetheless drawn strong reactions from his critics.

One of Trump’s notable posts on his Truth Social platform included a meme depicting campaign signs for “Trump 2024, Trump 2028, Trump 2032,” eventually expanding into far-off centuries.

The post was widely circulated and sparked debate across political circles.

Following his victory in the 2024 election, Trump joked during a meeting with Republican lawmakers about the prospect of another term. “I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you do something,” he said. “Unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we have to just figure it out.’”

Republican lawmakers who attended the meeting clarified that the comments were made in jest.

“That was a joke. It was clearly a joke,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-OK). Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) reportedly echoed the sentiment, predicting media outlets would mischaracterize the president’s comments as serious.

Despite the proposed amendment and his occasional jokes, Trump has stated that he does not plan to pursue a third term.

“I wouldn’t be in favor of a challenge. Not for me. I wouldn’t be in favor of it at all,” Trump told Time magazine in a prior interview.

“I intend to serve four years and do a great job. And I want to bring our country back. I want to put it back on the right track.”

While the amendment faces significant legal and political hurdles, it underscores the continued influence of Trump’s presidency and the strong support he maintains among Republican lawmakers and voters.

CNN Anchor Gobsmacked at Notion of Enforcing Law Against Illegal Aliens

The mainstream media has so thoroughly reversed the truth for so many years that even the skeptical among us don’t really react anymore when the most ludicrous statements are made by people who are allegedly trustworthy and serious. Since at least 2016, the left—and the mainstream media is 100 percent left-aligned with the partial exception of Fox News—has successfully unmoored the very idea of truth from anything observable or sensible in the real world. 

Look at how many Americans accept the idea that there are “transgender children.” That is to say, grown adults in huge numbers profess to believe that it is natural and normal for a percentage of children to be “born in the wrong body.” If that doesn’t shock you reading it, that’s because you, like all the rest of us, have been living in a deliberately created dystopian fiction that’s worn you down. You may expect  to hear straight lunacy on the news, but you should not. Big, society-level lies such as the existence of “transgender children” (or really, “transgender” anyone) do enough damage on their own, but there’s a secondary damage: We get used to it enough that we don’t fight back much anymore. 

It’s how cults work. It’s how cult societies such as North Korea grind down adults of ordinary intelligence until they actually believe that it’s Americans, not North Koreans, who are suffering under political abuse. 

So it isn’t a surprise when an allegedly respectable, grown-up news anchor like CNN’s Dana Bash cannot seem to comprehend that it’s normal and morally acceptable to enforce the law against lawbreakers. She can’t accept that simple premise. Listen to Bash characterize the completely normal activity of apprehending criminals, then transporting criminals to where they need to go, as if it were some wicked and nefarious Nazi-inspired activity. 

We’re talking about illegal aliens who broke U.S. law and entered the country without permission. Bash seems, on some (emotional?) level, not to be able to accept that this is actually a crime. She seems unable to accept that, well, yes, physically rounding them up and getting them out of the country is the normal thing countries do with illegal border jumpers. You can imagine her saying to a cop, “Are you really saying that you’re going to HANDCUFF men who break into people’s living rooms?”

Border Czar Tom Homan is having none of it. He reminds Bash that this is a law enforcement action, and that, yes, “sanctuary cities” who try to obstruct the carrying out of the law are not going get away with it. 

Let’s see what X/Twitter users had to say:

John Bolton is Upset Over Trump Pulling His Security Detail and Clearance

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton has lost both his security clearance and Secret Service protection, as President Donald Trump moves to remove what he describes as “deep-state actors” from positions of influence.

The decision comes amid Trump’s ongoing efforts to reshape the federal government and hold former officials accountable for actions deemed detrimental to national security.

Shortly after Trump assumed office, the Secret Service detail assigned to Bolton was terminated.

Bolton responded on X, formerly Twitter, expressing his dissatisfaction with the decision while contrasting Trump’s actions with those of his successor, Joe Biden.

“I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service,” Bolton wrote.

He noted that Biden extended his protection in 2021 despite Bolton’s public criticisms of Biden’s national-security policies.

Bolton referenced the continuing threats to his safety, citing a 2022 criminal case against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official accused of attempting to hire a hitman to target him.

“That threat remains today, as also demonstrated by the recent arrest of someone trying to arrange for President Trump’s own assassination,” Bolton stated.

In addition to losing his Secret Service protection, Bolton’s security clearance was revoked following the publication of his 2019 memoir, which detailed his time in the Trump administration.

Soros-Backed DA Seeks to Bring Charges Against Jan 6 Prisoners Despite Trump Pardon

Radical progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is now scrambling to find ways to bring state charges against January 6 prisoners who were pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Krasner is exploring the possibility of bringing charges against Pennsylvania residents, CNN’s Marshall Cohen reported.

The Soros-backed district attorney’s plans to charge the J6 protesters would likely face significant legal hurdles, such as double jeopardy.

However, he maintains, “You can have a state prosecution for conduct that was not fully encompassed in the federal prosecution.”

Past attempts to bring state charges against individuals are usually unsuccessful due to constitutional protections against double jeopardy.

Krasner said he is now scouring over federal charging documents in order to find prosecutable conduct that was not covered in the January 6 prosecutions.

For instance, he said he is looking into cases that involved “assaults on officers” and “collaboration with far-right extremist groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.”

The Soros-funded attorney referenced a number of Pennsylvania laws that could be used to prosecute the Trump supporters, including the misuse of technology for criminal activities, election-related offenses, and state conspiracy laws.

Krasner vowed to bring “accountability” for those charged during the protests, calling them Trump’s “co-conspirators.”

It’s worth noting that Krasner’s response to the January 6 protests is in stark contrast to the violent Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, which saw Police officers assaulted, and dozens of buildings and vehicles torched.

Following the BLM riots, Krasner withdrew 80 percent of commercial burglary charges brought against rioters, and also those brought in the Walter Wallace riots in October 2020.

A whopping 95 percent of the 2,000 rioters arrested in 2020 had their cases dropped by Krasner’s office.

More recently, Krasner changed a policy so that thefts under $500 would be no longer treated as lower-level offenses.

“Wawas are closing. They’re closing in Center City,” Dugan said in reference to regional convenience store Wawa, which made the decision to close most Philadelphia due to the crime rate.

“We can have all the politically correct reasons for why it’s happening and all that. But the reality of it is it’s because they couldn’t control the retail theft.”

“Horrible People Like You” – Trump Nukes Reporter Who Interrupts Him

President Donald Trump savaged a reporter for repeatedly interrupting him during a press conference on Tuesday, reminding him why the American people voted for him.

The reporter, NBC’s Peter Alexander, was asking Trump about some of the people that his administration pardoned who were involved in the January 6 riot in 2021.

In what appeared to be an attempt to pit Trump against Vice President JD Vance, the reporter asked him why Vance was “wrong” about something that he said.

However, when Trump began to answer the question, the reporter repeatedly interrupted him.

“Listen to me for a second,” Trump fired back.

“Stop interrupting.”

“They served years in jail and if you look at the American public, the American public is tired of it,” Trump said.

“Take a look at the election. Just look at the numbers on the election,” he continued. “We won this election in a landslide, because the American public is tired of people like you that are just one-sided, horrible people, in terms of crime.”

“You take a look at some of these DAs (District Attorneys), they go after political opponents, but they don’t go after people that shoot people in the street.

“We’re getting them out of the country and they’re going to be gotten out of the country first. They came in illegally from jails and from prisons. They killed many people.

“They were released into our country. That’s what we’re focussed on. Not the kind of nonsense you’re talking about.”

The President said that reporters like the one interrupting him “don’t talk about all the people that have been killed and what happens to those murderers.”

“Murderers get no time. You take a look at some of these DAs, they go after political opponents, but they don’t go after people that shoot people in the street,” Trump said.

Woke Harridan Preacher Tries to Humiliate Trump in National Cathedral

The election of Donald Trump was only the beginning of a chance that the U.S. now has to tack back toward a normal and sane kind of politics. The country lurched so hard to the left over the past 15 years–and beyond into actual clinical insanity–that one election is not going to reset the board overnight. It will be years, perhaps a generation or longer, before “woke” is really rooted out of nearly every business, civic, and cultural institution. 

The hardest left voters and agitators truly believe they are “on the right side of history.” They truly believe that only they are moral, and that everyone to the right of them is fully and incurably immoral. Their minds work in black and white, all-good and all-bad. In psychiatric literature, this kind of thinking is called “splitting.” One “splits” another person into an all-wonderful or all-evil caricature of a whole human person. Splitting is a prominent feature of conditions like borderline personality disorder, a character disorder that includes emotional instability, histrionic emotions and accusations, and the false idea that one is a perpetual victim of others. 

To a close approximation, we can diagnose the U.S. as having a longstanding case of borderline personality disorder, at least the left half of the country. 

So it should be no surprise that on his second day in office, President Donald Trump and his wife Melania were the subject of an attempted humiliation from the pulpit. Preacher Mariann Budde stood at the lectern of the National Cathedral and excoriated Trump as he sat there, accusing him of frightening “trans kids” and illegal aliens. Naturally, Budde features what you might call the “modern mental illness presentation” affected by leftist women. Short, angry gray hair, deliberately awkward glasses, and the put-on “gentle mouse” voice used to cover over a vicious and hysterical rhetorical attack. 

Check it out: 

Budde claims there are “gay lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families. . .some who fear for their lives.”

“And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation,” she added.

This type of rhetoric is just insane. It’s not a difference of opinion. It’s insanity, if we define insanity as a complete disconnection from the objective real world. The hack even even went on CNN after to defend her comments.

Frankly, it is impossible to believe that Mariann Budde genuinely believes that Donald Trump is a threat to the lives and continued state of being alive to “LGBTQ” people. But she is willing to claim that she believes this, which is at least as disturbing as the possibility that she takes her own hysteria seriously. 

One thing’s certain; Twitter/X users don’t: 

Buckle up, friends. There’s going to be more of this before there’s less.

Former Clinton Pollster: Biden’s Last Minute Pardons Shows Total Corruption

Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn has slammed Joe Biden for pardoning Anthony Fauci, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the January 6 Committee.

The corruption is now so obvious even high-profile Democrats are speaking out.

Penn published a lengthy screed on Twitter/X torching Biden for the move.

Penn’s tweet reads:

“The last straw

Last minute pardons for Biden’s political accomplices were the plan all along. The pardons for drug dealers and commutations for murderers were just cover for the main act of these pardons and his son — all done after elections have passed.

The only administration to try to jail political opponents was not Trump’s but Biden’s, and it was the voters who rejected it with their votes.

There were legitimate questions on whether Fauci lied about his funding of gain of function research, whether Miley broke the chain of command and had unauthorized communications with the Chinese and whether the Jan 6th committee coached witnesses.

They may have all been right and truthful but there were questions, and they will all go unresolved now.

But Biden was elected lying to the public about his son’s business (which was eventually uncovered), sought to win reelection hiding his infirmities, (which was also eventually uncovered), and genuinely abused his office in the closing days of his presidency as his low ratings sink even lower.”

Trump also commented on Biden’s pardons.

Watch:

Biden claimed he believed in the rule of law but said, “But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing.”

Whining Liberals Declare Trump’s Inauguration “National Day of Mourning”

A high-profile leftist activist group has directed all of its members to wear black to mark President Donald Trump’s inauguration as a “national day of mourning.”

‘Occupy Democrats’ posted to its 10 million followers on Facebook:

“Don’t forget to wear all black on January 20th,” with an emoji of a broken heart.

The post was also published on Instagram, which also featured TDS-inspired hashtags.

Some respondents suggested, “We’ll be wearing black for the next 4 years.”

Others expressed how they felt more unsafe while labeling Trump a “rapist” and parroted their false media talking point.

We can expect a massive wave TDS for Monday.

It will be glorious to watch all of those liberal meltdowns being posted on X.

Of course, taking pleasure in others’ suffering is nothing we should ever indulge in.

However, given what we’ve all been through in the last four years, perhaps a dash of smugness is in order.

As we reported on Monday, thousands of far-left protesters swamped Washington, D.C. to protest Trump’s inauguration.

Protesters chanted “Lock him up!” and other slogans, such as “Elon Musk has got to go!” as they marched through the nation’s capital.

We reported last week, other groups, such as Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition and the People’s Forum, which were responsible for vandalized American monuments last year, have begun publicizing plans in November to “fight back” against Trump’s second presidency

Kristi Noem Schools Senator Andy Kim on Border Security, Leaves Him Red-Faced

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, nominated by President Trump as Homeland Security Secretary, faced the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Friday morning for her confirmation hearing.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, what unfolded was not only a testament to her poise and knowledge but also an embarrassing display of unpreparedness from Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.).

Noem, who has served as governor since 2019 and previously represented South Dakota in the U.S. House of Representatives, handled the hearing with professionalism. However, Senator Kim’s questioning revealed a shocking lack of understanding about border security and constitutional authority.

Kim began by citing the appointment of Tom Homan as President Trump’s Border Czar and asked Noem, “Who’s in charge of the nation’s borders?”

A question so elementary it hardly required a response. Without hesitation, Noem clarified that under the U.S. Constitution, the President holds ultimate authority over national security, including border management.

Kim sheepishly admitted that her response aligned with what he expected but claimed he was “confused” because of Homan’s role.

Noem patiently explained that while Homan has been tasked with overseeing enforcement, she, Homan, and other officials work under the President’s directives.

Her clear, concise response underscored Kim’s lack of preparation. The moment was a stark reminder of the gaps in understanding among some Democratic lawmakers regarding basic governmental functions.

The exchange didn’t end there. Kim launched into a lengthy monologue expressing concern that Homan’s role might overshadow Noem’s responsibilities. Remaining composed, Noem reassured him that she had no issues collaborating with Homan under President Trump’s leadership.

Her response once again highlighted her competence and understanding of the role, leaving Kim visibly flustered.

For New Jerseyans, this display from Senator Kim might give pause. If this level of confusion and lack of preparation is what they can expect over the next six years, the Garden State may be in for a rough ride.
