Hunter now has the record for most sweeping pardon. GROK has the previous as:
After the Nixon pardon, one of the most sweeping pardons for a single person was the commutation of sentence and later full pardon granted by President Bill Clinton to Marc Rich in January 2001. Marc Rich, a billionaire fugitive who had been charged with tax evasion, illegal trading with Iran during the U.S. embargo, and other crimes, received a highly controversial pardon that was criticized for its breadth and the process by which it was granted. The pardon was unconditional and encompassed all charges against Rich, despite him never having been convicted or returned to the U.S. to face trial. #pardon #hunterbiden
James Talarico wants FORCED DEI officers in every Texas school. Mandatory diversity indoctrination for your kids. Mandatory critical race theory. This is why he will LOSE in November to @KenPaxtonTX.
Texas parents aren't letting this happen.
I’m sick to my freaking stomach reading Tulsi Gabbard’s declassified bombshells. They laid out the entire treasonous plot: weaponizing the Zelensky phone call to impeach Trump, with Rudy Giuliani squarely in their crosshairs next.
This wasn’t politics—it was a straight-up coup by corrupt deep state actors to overthrow the will of the American people.
These people belong in prison for this shit. Deeply disturbing and downright terrifying.
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

TEXAS SENATE RACE: @JoeGruters@ScottPresler@realDonaldTrump we've got a big problem in Texas. The newly installed GOP Party Chair just named the party's interim legal counsel - he was an impeachment manager overseeing Ken Paxton's impeachment and voted to remove him from office. It looks like we won't get any help from the Texas Republican Party during the campaign - we're going to need help from the RNC. We can't afford to lose this race.
RE: George W. Bush
One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s. This cost me friends and exposed me to relentless personal attacks. I defended his CHARACTER. I thought what I was doing was right. I was wrong.
I did not believe—and still do not believe—that he “lied” us into the war in Iraq. My belief was and is based on my knowledge of classified pre-war intelligence and my service early in the war on the Iraqi base that was most suspected to include WMD storage.
I defended Bush against “Bush lied, people died.” I defended Bush against “Chimpy McBushitler” and all of the other spurious Democrat insults that served only to undermine the war effort I had been fighting.
But while I defended Bush, he NEVER defended himself.
Then, when a true Marxist was elected President in the form of the worst human being to occupy the Oval Office since Woodrow Wilson (i.e., Barack Obama), Bush was SILENT. He never, ever spoke out against Obama, and even cozied up to him and Michelle, which I assumed was part of the tradition of former Presidents never criticizing their successors. (I was wrong in my assumption.)
THEN Donald Trump was elected President by America and suddenly Bush found his voice in criticizing serving Presidents. Why would he do this to a member of his own party other than because Trump was an outsider determined to dismantle the tyranny of the federal administrative state?
I now know that George W. Bush is a Deep State charlatan of extremely low character. Allegiance to the Deep State and The Swamp trumps any allegiance he may have ever had to his own party, the United States of America, the Constitution, or the American people.
He is despicable.
Surprisingly, I now find him more objectionable than the other Presidents in this picture. At least they let us know who they actually were.

Wait… so we finish an investigation… a year AFTER we passed a mountain of terrible “flood relief” legislation??
TxLege prides itself in putting the cart in front of the horse to grow government and pass Democrat priorities like outlawing Christian camps.
Proud I voted NO.
On June 25, a flyover formation spanning generations of American military aviation takes to the skies above Washington, from the B-52 Stratofortress to the F-35C Lightning II.
Wings Over Washington is part of the Great American State Fair and is an incredible tribute to our nation’s 250th birthday.
You won’t want to miss it. RSVP today.
Swing and a miss! Major League Baseball encouraged players to wear “Black Lives Matter” on their uniforms but reportedly threatened Christians who write Bible verses on their hats. @USEEOC will investigate whether this amounts to religious discrimination.
ISLAMIFICATION: Texas Monthly is pushing the false narrative that the Islamist that crashed the Texas GOP Convention were Republicans. The voting record of the founder of the Dallas chapter of CAIR and his colleagues makes it clear they're not Republicans.
I dont spend a lot of time bashing Thune because it's a waste of time. Thune isnt going anywhere until hopefully primaries of 2028. The gop establishment senators picked Thune to be their guy to limit Trump. He is the McConnell protégé. The senate was always the last line of defense for the establishment. They arent going to abandon Thune when he is doing exactly what they want him to do, stalling the maga agenda.
The establishment is pissed that their actions have consequences like the loss of cassidy, Tillis, and Cornyn. They have decided they can absorb those losses and double down on stalling MAGA.
If you dont like it, there are only two ways to stop it. Elect dems to the senate which will make things 100 times worse or vote all gop incumbents out in the primaries. My vote goes to option 2.
If 2 doesnt work, option 1 is still stupid and shouldnt be used.
.@SECWAR “As President Trump put it, he gave our allies a test—to support America when we asked for their help—and too many failed it.
The United States has defended Europe for GENERATIONS, and all the President said was that our jets need to take off from bases in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East...
Too many of our allies said no or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticized us publicly for doing what they aren’t prepared or able to do themselves—IT WAS SHAMEFUL."
Prediction: by end of the month almost no one will remember nor care about the Iran MOU. All they will care about is dropping gas prices and dropping inflation and the fact that Iran doesnt have a nuke and isn't going to get one anytime soon.
This stuff is so old. Trump does something. The usual suspects get a case of the vapors and make it the hill they are going to die on. They look like complete idiots. The thing Trump did plays out almost always as a good thing. The usual suspects look like bigger idiots and don't die over the issue but they have zero self reflection on their idiotic behavior so they lear(n) nothing. The following week/day Trump does something else.....the usual suspects get another case of the vapors......rinse and repeat.

Gavin is suspiciously directing donors and mega corps to funnel money into his connected "nonprofits."
Don't forget...his own agency, Cal Volunteers, has a nonprofit slush fund that was set to launder $500K from FireAid. The entire NPO complex in CA needs to be audited.
This is one of the rare cases where someone was held to account for manipulating the supposedly random assignment of judges. In this instance, she simply assigned the case to herself.
When Judge Boasberg did the same thing by assigning himself anti-Trump cases, why was he not held to account?
It is long past time to shine a light on how this supposedly random assignment system actually works in practice. We are constantly told the process is random, but if it can be manipulated this easily, it is obviously not random at all.
Technically, they passed a law that says the FBI is not permitted to use FISA (702) authorities to investigate any member of congress.
Adding that element of the law to the reauthorization of FISA (702) in 2023 was like putting salt in the open wound of our republic.
Today's peace deal was signed at the palace of Versailles in France. When Italy has a formal event or state dinner it is held at the Palazzo Quirinale in
Rome
When England has a state dinner, It's held at Buckingham Palace. When the United States has a formal event or state dinner, we have to install a tent on the White House lawn, put down a floor, (which ruins all the grass which has to be replanted) and bring in tables and chairs with concomitant labor costs. This is why a White House ballroom is long overdue.
