CNN’s Scott Jennings Says History Will Remember Biden As ‘Complete And Total Disgrace’ Over Hunter Pardoning

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings said Monday that President Joe Biden will be remembered as a “complete and total disgrace” over his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.

Biden issued a formal pardon for his son Sunday evening after the White House assured the American public for months that he would not do so. Jennings argued that this action made the “strongest possible case for [President-elect] Donald Trump” by proving that the president blatantly lied to the American people only to ultimately protect his son in the end.

“Joe Biden is leaving office making the strongest possible case for Donald Trump that anybody could possibly make it and that’s that our government and our justice system is of, by and for the elites and nobody else,” Jennings said. “He ran to vanish Trumpism from our political system in this country and he has left it politically and now institutionally the strongest possible political force in this country. It is a complete and utter failure by the head of the Democratic Party and the President of the United States. Never again do I want to hear ‘oh, Donald Trump’s a liar, you can’t believe anything he says. Donald Trump will abuse his power, Donald Trump will only use the system to benefit himself and his family’ and so on and so forth … We are sitting on the biggest cover-up of who knows what crimes and Joe Biden amazingly knows exactly, roughly when it started.”

“He knows just about when it all started. He’s leaving office in complete and total disgrace, he is a liar and there is no other way to spin this today. This has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the character of Joe Biden.”

A jury convicted the president’s son in June on three felony charges related to his purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, alleging he knowingly bought the item while addicted to drugs and made false statements on the purchase form. He also faced nine charges related to his alleged failure to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes and his alleged filing of falsified tax paperwork, all of which Hunter pleaded guilty to.

In his statement announcing the pardoning, Biden said he has always emphasized telling Americans the truth and that he believes the charges against his son “led to a miscarriage of justice.”

“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,” Biden said in his statement.

Biden and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have repeatedly said the president would not pardon Hunter. The press secretary made these claims during press briefings dating back to as early as July, and even claimed Biden would not ask President-elect Donald Trump to pardon his son in November.

US Eating Canada’s Lunch While Liberals Stall – Trump Admin Announces Record-Shattering Energy Report

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

The Department of Energy (DOE) touted a report on Wednesday which states that America broke records in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.

The U.S. became the first country to export over 10 million metric tonnes of LNG in one month in October, Reuters reported on Monday, citing preliminary data from the financial firm LSEG. The DOE posted on X on Wednesday that “there are big opportunities ahead for U.S. natural gas” and has consistently championed LNG in a sharp departure from former President Joe Biden’s crackdown on the resource.

“The fact that America’s oil and gas industry was able to pass this stunning milestone is impressive considering all the roadblocks to progress which were thrown up by the Biden administration,” David Blackmon, an energy and policy writer who spent 40 years in the oil and gas business, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It is a testament to both the resilience and innovative mindset of the industry and to the phenomenal wealth of America’s natural gas resource.”

Two facilities in Louisiana and Texas are responsible for the LNG export surge, according to Reuters. The U.S. LNG industry emerged as an energy sector giant in recent decades, with America now leading the world in LNG exports after being projected to be a net importer as late as 2010, according to S&P Global.

The Biden administration enacted a freeze on new LNG export permits and “intentionally buried a lot of data and released a skewed study to discredit the benefits of American LNG,” the DCNF previously reported. The environmental lobby applauded Biden’s January 2024 freeze on new LNG export terminals, though critics argued that the policy stalled investment, would not reduce emissions and undermined America’s global strategic interests.

In contrast, President Donald Trump sought opportunities to bolster LNG and reversed the new permit pause through a day-one executive order. Some energy policy experts told the DCNF that the reported milestone highlights the resiliency of the industry and the benefit of Trump’s “American energy dominance” agenda.

“By expediting LNG terminal expansion and signing off on export agreements, the Trump administration is rapidly powering the world while simultaneously keeping his commitment for U.S. energy dominance,” Sterling Burnett, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute, told the DCNF. “The world wants U.S. gas, and under Trump they are getting it, in the process showing the world what a market economy can do when unfettered by unnecessary, duplicative, regulations that stifle growth.”
“The only thing that has held the U.S. economy and our energy independence and dominance back over the decades is Democratic administration’s pushing inane, futile, climate policies, restricting fossil fuel use,” Burnett continued. “New LNG export data shows those days are over and what America can accomplish for itself and the world, when a President puts America first.”

Trump Reportedly Planning Ground Troops, Drone Strikes On Cartels In Mexico

Published on

 

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

The U.S. is reportedly planning to send troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels, former and current U.S. officials told NBC News Monday.

Training has reportedly already begun for such a mission, two current U.S. officials told NBC News, though no deployment to Mexico is imminent. The plan would deploy both U.S. military and CIA personnel on the ground in Mexico and include drone strikes on cartel targets, according to the report. If put into action, it would be a significant escalation in President Donald Trump’s ongoing campaign against Latin American drug cartels.

“The Trump administration is committed to utilizing an all-of-government approach to address the threats cartels pose to American citizens,” a senior administration official told NBC in response to the news.

If the mission is approved, the administration reportedly plans to keep the operation secret and not publicize any strikes, unlike the video-documented attacks on cartel boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that Trump has highlighted in the past, according to the report.

The plan calls for drone strikes against drug labs in Mexico as well as top cartel leaders, the officials told NBC News, and is not intended to undermine the Mexican government.

The U.S. troops will reportedly mostly be Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) members, who operate under the authority of the intelligence community, two current officials told NBC News. Pat administrations have deployed the CIA to aid in missions against cartels from the Mexican government, but have never gotten involved directly as the reported plan prescribes.

The CIA and the White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
