(Jan. 30, 2025) — On January 21st, 2025, California’s Silicon Valley residents awakened to a glorious morning—a bright blue sky with nary a trace of cloud or even chemtrail, just dazzling sunshine—and, for some of us, the indescribable happiness to know that the nightmare of the past four years is over at last, and Trump is our President once again.
Joy cometh in the morning!
But there was plenty of gladness last night as well. California Conservatives in Silicon Valley attended gatherings in various venues. Some of us went to a local friend’s Inauguration party to celebrate the grand event. The hosts went all out with Trump-inspired decorations, down to the red bandana tied around their frisky Border Collie, sporting the words: Dogs for Trump.
In between cocktails, animated conversations and partaking of the spread of savory canapés and goodies, we watched the President’s inspiring speech at one of the evening’s Inauguration balls, and our gorgeous First Lady looking regal in her striking black and white ballgown.
We were celebrating both the beginning of the new Trump Administration, and the fact that Sneaky Joe is skulking off to his bitter retirement as the worst president in American history. I give the nod to Obama as the most destructive president in our history, but in this last inning, the O’Biden White House, including his DEI VP Kalumny Harris, hit the bottom.
BYE BYE JOE: PROGRESSIVE PANDERER & CROOKED PARDONER
Beijing Biden did unimaginable harm to our citizenry, first and foremost by ushering in up to 20 million unvetted illegal aliens, bringing crime, drugs, assaults, theft, rapes and murders into cities throughout America.
Spite is an ugly thing. So is sabotage. But combining the two takes the cake. And that combo is the hallmark of Biden’s numerous parting gifts to incoming President Trump.
For instance, Biden ordered removal of the expensive building material that his administration prevented from being used to complete our southern border wall. Adding insult to injury, forty days prior to Inauguration Day and knowing Trump intends to jump-start completion of the wall, Biden and his Border Czar Khameleon Harris decided they’d have the steel beams carted off and sold by auction for peanuts.
Right down to the wire, in his last few minutes in office, Biden, still crooked as ever, pardoned his entire family who’ve been apparently profiting off illegal bribery deals throughout his political career.
Worse yet, he gave “preemptive pardons” to a number of men who clearly abused the law, committing high crimes and misdemeanors that in some cases likely include treason.
Even CNN was appalled at his last minute pardoning of his entire family, calling it “a stain on his legacy.” They merely left out the fact that his entire legacy has been a stain on our nation. By the way, in December of 2020, the nasty old codger had told Jake Tapper he’d never use preemptive pardons. We can add that to the staggering list of Joe’s lies.
Andrea Widburg of American Thinker wrote an insightful article about the hazards of Biden’s preemptive pardons, highlighting the fact that they undercut the rule of law by creating a new precedent—essentially a “get out of jail free” card before one can even be accused of wrongdoing.
It certainly appears to be unconstitutional, since the Constitution states: “The President … shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of impeachment.” In other words, you can only constitutionally pardon someone who has committed “offenses against the United States.” The whole notion of “preemptive pardoning” is Orwellian doublespeak. We first need to see those “offenses.”
Between the Orwellian concept of “pre-crime” that can be used to arrest innocent people who are considered as “likely” to commit a crime, and “preemptive pardoning”— used by Biden to hide blatant criminal acts and protect the perpetrators—we can kiss justice goodbye.
