Trump Pardons 1,500 J6ers

By William Teach January 21, 2025 – 7:00 am

Trump did so many executive orders it’s hard to know where to start. Well, what about this?

Trump grants mass pardons to 1,500 January 6 US Capitol rioters

President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned more than 1,500 people charged in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, and said he would commute the sentences of six others.

The Justice Department also is expected to move in court to dismiss cases that have not yet gone to trial, several sources told CNN.

More than 730 people have been convicted of misdemeanor offenses in connection with January 6, according to the latest Justice Department estimates. Further, there are about 300 prosecutions still pending in court as of Monday, including many accused of violent felony crimes, such as assaulting police.

Trump has long pledged to pardon at least some of his supporters who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, disrupting the peaceful transfer of power.

The vast majority really did nothing wrong. They weren’t violent, they wandered through the halls of Congress, and had the doors opened for them by Capitol Police.

About 55% of January 6 prosecutions are misdemeanor cases, with charges like disorderly conduct or trespassing, according to Justice Department data. For those convicted, the vast majority were sentenced to probation or a few months in prison and were already released.

And had their lives destroyed for a minor issue. Hounded, harassed by the feds, locked up pre-trial with no bail. Unlike the way they went after those who firebombed a federal justice center, which was, not much.

Some defendants are elderly people who got caught up in the frenzy. Others went inside the Capitol for a handful of minutes but never attacked anyone or vandalized anything. Most have no criminal record. A large chunk of the people in the mob said they never intended to infiltrate the Capitol, let alone disrupt Congress’ certification of the 2020 election results. Some believe they were waved into the building by police.

Regardless of this, CNN is losing their minds, as are the other Credentialed Media, in a way they failed to after Biden pardoned/commuted 2,500 drug and other offenders, oh, and, hey, how about Leonard Peltier, who murdered two FBI agents.

Bummer: Trump To Pull US Out Of Paris Climate (scam) Agreement

By William Teach January 20, 2025 – 3:00 pm

But, how will he do it?

Trump to withdraw from Paris climate agreement, White House says

st greta carPresident Donald Trump will once again withdraw the United States from the Paris climate deal, the White House said on Monday, removing the world’s biggest historic emitter from global efforts to fight climate change for the second time in a decade.

The decision would place the United States alongside Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only countries in the world outside the 2015 pact, in which governments agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

The announcement, in a document from the White House, reflects Trump’s skepticism about global warming, which he has called a hoax, and fits in with his broader agenda to unfetter U.S. oil and gas drillers from regulation so they can maximize output.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is confident that U.S. cities, states and businesses “will continue to demonstrate vision and leadership by working for the low-carbon, resilient economic growth that will create quality jobs,” said associate U.N. spokesperson Florencia Soto Nino, in a written statement.

They’re welcome to do such. We The People did not agree as a total country without a US Senate vote

Trump also withdrew the U.S. from the Paris deal during his first term in office, though the process took years and was immediately reversed by the Biden presidency in 2021. The withdrawal this time around is likely to take less time – as little as a year – because Trump will not be bound by the deal’s initial three-year commitment.

I’ll be honest, if this is true, it is disappointing. Trump has no need to follow the rules for pulling out, since Obama’s signature has no force of any sort of law past his own administration. It is entirely voluntary. Just say “we’re done.”

Meanwhile

(Bloomberg)  President Donald Trump said he will “declare a national energy emergency,” as he orders steps intended to unleash domestic energy production and undo Biden-era policies designed to fight climate change.

The US boasts “the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth — and we are going to use it,” Trump said in his inaugural address Monday. “We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help us to do it.”

The declaration is among a host of changes Trump plans to order Monday to reorient US policy away from the fight against global warming — and toward fossil fuel production. That includes an assault on Biden-era regulations that compelled greater sales of electric vehicles Trump has dubbed an “EV mandate.” In his speech, Trump vowed that his actions Monday will end the “green new deal” and the electric-vehicle mandate.

I mean, how else will all those EVs be powered without fossil fuels?

Bummer: Colleges Offer Advice On Anxiety To Snowflakes For Trump Inauguration

By William Teach January 20, 2025 – 10:30 am

These are the same people who are supposedly adults and “future leaders”, who cannot handle Trump being president again. Seriously, these people never had the mental acuity to sign the student loans they will demand be wiped out

Colleges, educational groups offer advice for Inauguration Day ‘anxiety,’ trips to DC for Trump swearing-in

Educational institutions and college-affiliated groups are preparing for President-elect Trump’s inauguration by offering mental health advice, delivering travel notices to international students, and organizing anti-Israel rallies.

Most schools will be closed on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, due to it falling on a federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Similar to Trump’s first inauguration and the weeks following his victory in the 2024 election, universities and education groups are offering different outlets for students on Monday.

Several anti-Israel college groups in Chicago are planning demonstrations. The University of Illinois Chicago’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJPUIC) and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) chapters intend to hold an anti-Israel protest, according to social media posts.

The groups will reportedly meet to “fight back against Trump’s racist and reactionary program,” wrote SJPUIC in a post on Instagram.

They do realize Trump has not been president over the past four years, and everything going on in the Middle East, in particular Gaza, happened while Joe Biden was president? And that during Trump’s 1st term things were relatively quiet in the ME? And that Hamas and their subjects in Gaza asked for annihilation by attacking Israel on October 7th? Those who are not citizens might want to consider if their protests are wise, because non-citizens can be repatriated for calling to destroy Israel and kill Jews.

Other schools are offering mental health advice ahead of the Republican’s swearing-in.

Emory University’s Rollin School of Public Health conducted an interview with clinical psychologist Rachel Waford, published in December, about how to deal with “anxiety” during presidential transitions.

“Americans are experiencing a mix of emotions as Trump prepares to start his second term as President of the United States. For some, a second Trump administration is stirring up fear and anxiety,” the article reads.

Waford suggested those who have anxiety should stay off social media or unsubscribe from news outlets. “I would encourage anybody who is in that state right now to think about the ways that you can plug into your life tangibly. Plug into your community, social supports, and the things that bring a sense of security, safety, and control,” the psychologist said.

Good grief. Get over yourselves. Bunch of special snowflakes and barking moonbats.

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has also directed teachers to evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they show up to schools.

“We will not allow any law enforcement entity to take any type of immigration action against our students or their families within our care,” LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said during a press conference in January.

Did they also explain who to call when the teachers are arrested for interfering with federal agents? The advice is simply unhinged, as ICE will not be coming into grade schools, unless an adult is an illegal. Seriously, this is just the start of the 4 year apoplexy from Democrats. Let’s see if they all come to DC today and get crazy like last time.

Bummer: Fed Reserves Pulls Out Of Climate (scam) Group

By William Teach January 20, 2025 – 7:00 am

Trump effect in full view

Federal Reserve withdraws from global regulatory climate change group

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced on Friday it had withdrawn from a global body of central banks and regulators devoted to exploring ways to police climate risk in the financial system.

In a statement, the Fed said it was exiting the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) because its increasingly broadened scope had fallen outside the Fed’s statutory mandate.

The central bank joined the group in 2020. The exit comes three days before President-elect Donald Trump, who is critical of efforts by governments to prescribe climate change policies, is set to take office.

The NGFS, formed in 2017, is charged with helping central banks and bank supervisors with integrating risks stemming from climate change into their work steering monetary policy and policing the financial system. A spokesperson for the group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Well, that’s a real shame. The Fed won’t be basing policy off a scam, and, instead looking at proper financial metrics.

Bummer: Illegals Start Self Deporting Ahead Of Trump

By William Teach January 20, 2025 – 6:45 am

Good. The illegals and fake asylum seekers need to go. It would just be easier for them

Fearing Trump deportations, migrants start leaving US voluntarily

Throughout the 2024 election cycle, President-elect Trump said he would carry out mass deportations once in office.

Some migrants are voluntarily choosing to leave the country ahead of Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

Immigration attorney Rolando Vasquez told NewsNation some of his clients who entered under the Biden administration are now choosing to return home, fearing deportation under the incoming administration.

It’s not just Trump’s deportation plans that have influenced these decisions.

Vazquez says Mexico is now open to accepting non-Mexican deportees. This move would affect Cuban and Venezuelan migrants the most since those countries typically do not accept deportation flights from the U.S. but may take them from Mexico.

“This is causing many migrants to leave on their own, knowing that they’re either going to be deported to their home country or be deported to Mexico,” Vazquez said. “The overwhelming majority of them do not want to be in Mexico.”

If they get deported they cannot re-enter the US legally, and, if they get caught crossing the border or even give themselves up for fake asylum they are supposed to be put right back across the border, at least according to the law. But, I wonder how many of these self-deporters are the murderers, rapists, gang members, and child abusers let in during the Biden years. Will they voluntarily leave? Or will they depend on sanctuary jurisdictions to protect them? They really do not have anything to lose. They can keep on committing crimes and if they get caught they get deported. Once the activists and such no longer have a way to protect them.

Seriously, it’s amazing what can happen when the government pledges to enforce the law.

Report: Trump Admin To Begin Massive Deportations Starting Tuesday

By William Teach January 19, 2025 – 7:00 am

Oh, this is causing some massive heartburn in the illegal alien supporting circles

Trump administration planning ‘large-scale immigration raid’ Tuesday in Chicago: Reports

There are growing concerns over possible mass deportations in the Chicago area as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office in a matter of days.

New reports from the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times cite multiple sources that say the incoming administration is planning a “large-scale immigration raid” in Chicago next week. ABC News has not yet independently confirmed that reporting.

The report comes amid rising concerns over the mass deportation plan that Trump’s border czar has promised to carry out. Tom Homan appearing on Fox News Friday night, saying there will be “a big raid all across the country.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, the raid in Chicago is expected to begin Tuesday morning, one day after President-elect Trump’s inauguration. Their report added that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will send as many as 200 officers to carry the raid out. (snip)

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration will target undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds. Many of them have minor offenses, like driving violations.

Again, I disagree. Recalcitrant sanctuary cities should have to deal with the fallout from their own decisions to protect illegal alien rapists, gang members, murderers, and child predators. Start by going after the ones in non-sanctuary cities, in places they do not want them. Then go after those in sanctuary cities. Why should the non-SCs have to put up with the criminals that the Biden admin shipped to their towns?

Of course, maybe a high profile rounding up will cause large numbers of illegals/fake asylum seekers to self deport.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s office stood firm on his comments made last month.

“We have laws that protect people that are undocumented, migrants, and undocumented migrants,” Pritzker said at the time. “I am going to make sure to follow the law.”

Guess what? Federal law overrides state law when it comes to immigration. You Leftists made that clear when you sued Arizona over SB1070. But, hey, if Pritzker wants to interfere with duly empowered federal agents, he can learn the legal consequences.

Meanwhile, this really should have happened a decade ago

Bummer: Canadian Banks Pull Out Of Climate (scam) Coalition

By William Teach January 18, 2025 – 4:18 pm

This is getting to be a habit with banks as we A) go into the era of Trump (even though these are Canuck banks), and B) they are realizing it’s time to stop losing money over this and kowtowing to the climate cult

Top Canadian banks quit global climate coalition ahead of Trump inauguration

Four of Canada’s biggest lenders said on Friday they were withdrawing from a global banking sector climate coalition, joining six major U.S. banks.

The departures from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance began with Goldman Sachs’ announcement on Dec. 6 and come ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the White House next week. Trump has been critical of efforts by governments to prescribe climate-change policies.

The four Canadian banks are TD Bank, Bank of Montreal, National Bank of Canada and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).

The other big U.S. banks that have withdrawn are Wells Fargo, Citi, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan.

The Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a UN-sponsored initiative set up by former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, was launched in 2021 to encourage financial institutions to limit the effects of climate change and push toward achieving net-zero emissions.

The Canadian banks said in separate statements that they were equipped to work outside the alliance and develop their climate strategies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they’re mostly just saying that, while looking to not bother with the scam. Sure, they’ll fund some stuff, but, they definitely want some of that sweet, sweet, fossil fuels money from investment. They won’t be listening to St. Greta, The Goracle, or any others. Oh, and they can’t be sued for “greenwashing” like NY tried to do against Pepsi, Exxon, JBS, and other companies.

Aren’t they the company that already failed once, especially since their products are ugly, feel cheap, and look cheap?
