TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! Biden White House lawyers, DOJ were befuddled by autopen clemencies, emails show: ‘He doesn’t review the warrants.’

President Biden’s sweeping clemency grants during his final days in office caused concern inside the West Wing and Justice Department about how to ensure his wishes were accurately implemented — and it’s unclear whether Biden himself was consulted before thousands of pardons were announced, internal emails obtained exclusively by The Post show.

The messages indicate the 46th president orally approved commutations for inmates jailed for crack cocaine offenses on Jan. 11 — but his auto-penned signature wasn’t affixed to three documents listing about 2,500 recipients until the morning of Jan. 17.
The debate over who exactly to include in the mass pardons and how to modify their sentences came to a head late on the night of Jan. 16.

RUY TEIXEIRA: Redistricting Isn’t the Democrats’ Problem. “Put all this together and the incentive structure for today’s Democratic politicians comes into focus. They are far more likely to be rewarded by their voters for no-holds-barred liberalism than to be punished for their lack of moderation or willingness to compromise. This has left the Democrats in poor shape to course correct against the loss of moderate-to-conservative working-class voters in the age of Trump. Even if individual Democratic politicians wish to do so, the pressures to stay within the bounds of Democratic orthodoxy are enormous. Sticking with the true faith generates adulation from activists, favorable media coverage, and gushers of donations. Breaking ranks risks unhinged attacks on social media and accusations of helping the Right and undermining ‘democracy.’ Not too many Democratic politicians want to take that risk.”

So long as the Democrats’ distraction from their real problems keep them in the minority and out of the White House, I really don’t have much reason to complain.

EVERGREEN QUESTION: ‘What Happened to Joe’s Head?’ Images Of Biden With a Giant Head Wound Surface.

Social media users had thoughts about what we were seeing.

“What happened to Joe Biden’s head?” one person asked.

Another added, “Now there’s concern?! What about the previous 4 years while he ran our country into the ground?!

While a third wrote, “It’s probably a skin cancer removal. Lots of old people have lesions removed. Head and face are common areas.

Speaking to Inside Edition, the man who filmed the video of Biden, Fred Karger, said, “I was a little surprised cause it’s a noticeable scar.”

“It looks fresh, a little hair combed over the scar. It looks to me like someone who had several basal cell skin cancers removed from his head,” he added.

The Hill has since reported that Biden had undergone a procedure for skin cancer.

At the PJ Mothership, Matt Margolis highlights the poor timing of this development: Joe Biden’s Head Just Destroyed the Left’s Latest Trump Smear.

The left launched its latest smear campaign hoping to rewrite the political narrative, but the effort blew up in its face. By pushing the laughable claim that Biden looks healthier than Trump, they didn’t just insult the public’s intelligence—they showcased the desperation driving their strategy. Americans don’t need media talking points to tell them what’s obvious: Trump remains energetic and engaged, while Biden spent his presidency visibly diminished, both physically and mentally.

As Matt concludes, “Then came the worst possible timing for their narrative. The episode reminded voters that the establishment press doesn’t deal in truth—it manufactures illusions to shield Democrats. In the end, the smear didn’t weaken Trump at all. Instead, it shoved Biden’s frailty back into the spotlight and proved once again just how little trust the media deserves.”
