By Joe Kovacs | December 1, 2024Despite pledging numerous times he would not do so, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter on Sunday after the president’s son was convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden wrote in a statement.

“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”

“Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.
“The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.
“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.
“For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”

Steven Cheung, a spokesman for President-elect Donald Trump said: “The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system.
“That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people.”
U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chair of the House GOP Oversight Committee, said: “Joe Biden has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities. Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son’s foreign business associates and that his son did nothing wrong, but he also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter Biden.
“The charges Hunter faced were just the tip of the iceberg in the blatant corruption that President Biden and the Biden Crime Family have lied about to the American people. It’s unfortunate that, rather than come clean about their decades of wrongdoing, President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability.”
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., slammed the pardon, saying: “Hunter Biden broke gun laws, he broke the FARA Act, and worst of all, he broke the Mann Act by sex trafficking women across the country.
“This pardon is Joe Biden’s admission that Hunter is a criminal. Biden tried to throw President Trump’s sons in jail, but he lets his son off free even though he’s a convict.
“His FBI and DOJ raided Barron’s bedroom and Melania’s closet at Mar-a-Lago. Joe Biden is a liar and a hypocrite, all the way to the end.”

TMZ reported Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter was actually made months ago: “We’re told Hunter and his legal team felt the second trial – where he was charged with 9 tax-related charges – was winnable. Yet Hunter entered a guilty plea in September, which at the time was puzzling because he and his lawyers felt they’d get a not guilty verdict.
“Our sources – again, with direct knowledge – tell TMZ when the guilty verdict was entered it was done with knowledge that President Biden would pardon him.”
Conservative author Ben Shapiro said, “Joe Biden has always been a venal liar who utilized his political power to pursue familial gain. So of course he’s pardoning Hunter. He was always going to pardon Hunter. Hunter was the bagman.”

After record number of Chinese illegally entered US, Biden admin announces action
By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square contributor
(The Center Square) – After the greatest number of Chinese nationals illegally entered the country under the Biden administration – more than 176,000, creating national security threats – President Joe Biden and his administration announced several actions.
Biden issued an executive order in November extending for another year a national emergency “to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the threat from securities investments that finance certain companies of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).”
He first declared a national emergency on Nov. 12, 2020, citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, twice extending and amending it in 2021.
The November 2024 order states “the PRC is exploiting United States capital to resource and enable the development and modernization of its military, intelligence, and other security apparatuses, which continues to allow the PRC to directly threaten the United States homeland and United States forces overseas.”
The PRC is using a military strategy to increase China’s “military-industrial complex by compelling civilian Chinese companies to support its military and intelligence activities,” the order states. While the companies remain “ostensibly private and civilian,” they “directly support the PRC’s military, intelligence, and security apparatuses and aid in their development and modernization. At the same time, those companies raise capital by selling securities to United States investors that trade on public exchanges both here and abroad, lobbying United States index providers and funds to include these securities in market offerings, and engaging in other acts to ensure access to United States capital.”
The order also cites Chinese surveillance technology being used outside of the PRC “and the development or use of Chinese surveillance technology to facilitate repression or serious human rights abuse.”
These activities “constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,” the order states, necessitating extending the national emergency.
Also in November, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents “conducted a third large-frame charter removal flight in less than six months to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) of Chinese nationals with no lawful basis to remain in the United States.”
The announcement fails to mention how many were removed in three flights. Instead, DHS claims three flights are “yet another example of the Department’s ongoing cooperation with the PRC and other international partners to reduce and deter irregular migration through enforcement of immigration law.”
Under the Biden administration, the majority of Chinese illegally entering the U.S. were single, military age men. They total more than 176 U.S. Army battalions. Put another way, they total more than 35 Army brigades, or nearly 12 divisions or nearly four corps, according to U.S. Department of Defense data.
By contrast, under the Obama and Trump administrations, there were roughly 15,000 Chinese illegal border crossers at the southwest border alone, averaging 1,000 a year from fiscal years 2007-2021, according to CBP data, The Center Square reported.
Under Biden, numerous national security concerns were raised by members of Congress in response to Chinese nationals accessing military bases and other sensitive sites nearly 100 times, Chinese cyberattacks, Chinese operatives fueling the fentanyl crisis and facilitating human and drug trafficking, operating a spy base in Cuba, and operating secret “police stations” in major U.S. cities targeting Chinese Americans or allegedly conducting espionage, among other concerns, The Center Square reported.
In separate announcements in November, DHS said a multi-agency federal Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force added more than 30 PRC-based companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List. The majority, 23, are in the agricultural sector; more textile companies were also added. A total of 107 are now on the list.
Adding companies to the list is designed to eliminate “the use of forced labor practices in U.S. supply chains and promoting accountability for the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other religious and ethnic minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).”
Goods produced by companies on the list are prohibited from being imported into the U.S. because the companies are believed to source materials from the XUAR or work with the Xinjiang government “to recruit, transport, transfer, harbor, or receive Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of other persecuted groups out of the XUAR,” DHS said.
The prohibition stems from a bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act signed into law in December 2021. CBP began enforcing it in June 2022. Since then, more than 9,700 shipments have been reviewed totaling more than $3.5 billion in value, DHS says.

Part III
It is difficult to consider Joe Biden (D) without thinking about his running mate, Kamala Harris (D). Democratic megadonor and attorney John Morgan's remarks are a good bookend to the article posted here. Recall that Harris said she couldn't think of anything she would do differently to the ladies on ABC's The View.

Then there is this revelation from Kamala Harris' Democratic campaign team members.
