I agree about pushing back on preemptive pardons. Is that even possible, or legal? How can you pardon someone for crimes they have not yet committed or been accused of? In addition to creating a mafia-like insularity of the power elites, it simply makes no legal sense. We are at war with our government.

absolutely. In fact, pardoning them means they ARE guilty. Otherwise they would not need a pardon.

The only positive I've heard about the pardons is that it exempts the pardonee from claiming the 5th when being asked questions about others who were involved. If found to have lied, they can then be charged with perjury. Maybe a chance for the rats to turn on one another?!

I console myself by saying, "God is still in control...Jesus still died for my sins...Heaven is my eternal home...".

Bonnie,

When rats reach critical mass (saturation), they will resort to the most basic instinct which is survival. When that happens they will turn on each other, eating each other in their fight to be on top until the strongest one will end up on top of the pile of the corpses of his/her former comrades bloated and immobile. Is that survival or suicide? If survival, to what end?

Truly dysfunctional on so many levels. How a digital notation has value is beyond my comprehension. It will not be a cake walk. The following comments were addressed to Dr. Alexander who is praying that RFK Jr. becomes the Director of HHS and fixes our sick care system: He also keeps blaming Dr. Malone and he should get off that horse.

The Citadel walls of the deep state are formidable and the task before President Trump is daunting. Read Paul Craig Roberts article: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/01/paul-craig-roberts/can-trump-make-a-difference/ I went to Washington 13 years ago and experienced the mantra "Our Hands are Tied" Translation. If we dare suggest we investigate the root cause of autism, I WILL NOT BE RE-ELECT! President Trump first time around made the mistake of being upfront announcing he wanted RFK Jr. to investigate autism. That brought on the Covid con! If RNA injections are canceled Gates and gang will fight like hell! They have invested billions and billions in the research and they need their 10X ROI! When Gates Foundation which is non-profit makes 7 Billion dollars on investing in Moderna and etc. and paid NO TAXES, explains who is running the medicine man show. The middle of the road approach that may work is a moratorium...but since there are over 100 RNA research projects active, that means the stock market in the medical arena will crash! Our deranged medicine man believes he can improve on God's design. The 38,000 documented deaths from the under utilized VAERS system over three years which in reality is only capturing less than 5% of the deaths that occur is not the only source of great harm to our citizens. Lost a dear friend this January from C-Diff which infects 500,000 Americans per year or more that are hospitalized and 30,000 or more die.

How medical treatment is managed is controlled by the almighty dollar and not via rational health initiatives that include prevention and reversal of disease states. When my Senator Durbin defends the status quo and states RFK Jr. is not qualified, he is just the messenger boy for the Big Medicine complex including Big Pharma that does want their cash cows to disappear! I also believe our insurance companies are not up front with how many of their policy holders have died over the last three years because of the RNA and faulty medical treatment. If they do, their stock will tank. To compensate they are raising their insurance rates dramatically. I pray that Bobby is confirmed and is not side tracked. I have lost too many good friends from the current medical paradigm! WE must change course to preserve the human race!

In DC as you well know the first priority is staying in power. Tom Massie said he thinks he might be the only member of Congress not taking money from Israel.

In my mid 70s I see things the same way as Malone, you, and millions of others.

I would like to see a good psychiatrist or psychologist or other person of experience show us that sociopathy and psychopathy are rampant in DC. Too many politicians and their helpers have things they want to hide which drives politicians to make dirty decisions-blackmail and other stuff.

I have made it clear to many people that the Covid 19 shots have profound effects on the immune system which has resulted in many thousands if not many millions of turbo cancers world wide. There are hundreds of international soccer players and those involved in other sports who have died or had sudden cardiac events that were related to the Covid 19 shots. When young people and very healthy older people have sudden cardiac events ,Covid 19 shots should be included in the differential diagnosis. I would bet that this is not being taught in medical school and in residency training programs.

RFK should drop the gauntlet about Malone. Malone's research has little to nothing to do with unscrupulous scientists making harmful vaccines.

There is, actually, one way we can win, and that is for all citizens to unite and collectively, all at the same time, simply stop participating in their system, stop going to work, stop paying taxes, take our children out of their indoctrinating schools, stop watching mainstream "programs, etc., but that's never going to happen.

Well buckaroos (and doearoos?) the Attorney General of Texas has a more optimistic view..

It is a great day in America. President Trump’s inauguration marks the beginning of a new era and the triumphant return to the foundational principles that make America great. Together, we will secure our borders, uphold the law, and restore the freedoms that Biden’s unlawful policies sought to undermine.

Just this morning I sued Biden for the last time, making it a total of 106 legal actions over the course of four years. Instead of empowering people to pursue their American dream, Biden consistently abused his power as he pushed a radical agenda that undermined our economic opportunity, national security, and religious liberty. Instead of defending this country, he unleashed a runaway bureaucracy that continuously sought to undermine the law and advance an agenda that would have destroyed our great nation if left unchecked.

In November, the American people gave Trump an overwhelming mandate to reverse the damage done and build a brighter, freer future. Texas stands ready to work hand-in-hand with the new administration to protect the rights of every American, uphold the Constitution, and make America great again.”

I'm not worried in the least. It would have been good, but the important part is saying, "so help me God" which he did, because those are words in the Oath. Melania was holding Trump's family bible.

That's because a our not so smart Supreme Court Justice, Roberts, didn't tell him. Roberts began before Melania and the rest of the family got there. I don't know if Roberts did that on purpose or not, but he also screwed up when Trump took his oath in 1917. Justice Kavanaugh did it correctly for J.D. Vance and waited for his entire family to gather around him (and there were 3 little children). There is something just not right with Justice Roberts. Maybe he's visited the "Island" too often? He doesn't like Trump much, but that's no excuse for his actions. He also voted 'no' on the last thing Trump's attorneys brought before the justices. Hmmmm. You might want to pray for him too.

That was mentioned by an announcer today and it was just a momentary glitch between Klobachar ending her intro, and Melania being able to position the Bibles for his hand.

Greetings, from MI's Thumb Coast. Well researched! Excellent points. Could we as a people ignore - i.e., shun - those so pardoned. Or, would that behavior backfire; just thinking, every action has a reaction. It's in my nature to allow all individuals to repent and forego behavior that is detrimental to individuals and to society. The old adage, "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me," is one to incorporate into one's self operating system. The offender does get a reprieve, but up goes my guard as I assess the individual's behaviors over a course of time and deepening observation and experience. At this time, I intend to observe and ponder actions. Trump's election was a groundswell against the Biden administration's demonstrated "care-less" attitude which not only ran counter to the will of "we, the people," considering both them and their values as worthless as dung (of course, dung is, to the contrary, an of worth).. Ground swells are not only unpredictable, but can bulge quickly and give off great heat; they also can explode and devastate what is worth saving. My option: wait, watch, ponder, assess before pushing back in any form. Random thoughts and just saying as we acknowledge a new captain at the helm. SLAINTE!

Jesse Binnall, one of Trump’s primary private attorneys working on lawsuits related to January 6, pointed out on social media a major reason the legal community was skeptical of Biden’s preemptive pardons before Monday: It makes it easier to force testimony.

My more concise take on Trump:

-- not a genius as this tome implies; but smart enough to catch about 60% of the swamp's garbage in mid-air.

-- Has relied, a SHOULD, on his team to thwart the enemy-- it is the Deep state #1, communism / socialism #2 both in and outside USA.

-- Believes the main enemy is the Deep state and Congressional swamp; and he is right. But, only until THIS term has he been wide enough awake to intelligently thwart it. Is doing so.

-- Not likely to have anything to do with this Q stuff; If he did somehow, the deep state intelligentia would have him for lunch.

While I think it's clear that the Founding Fathers were brilliant men, I think Ben Franklin's line, "A republic, if you can keep it" makes it clear that the blueprint that they put together for us requires a population of people that could manage their own lives.

I command armies of furious warring angels to expose and defeat and destroy all anti-human dark forces in America and in the nations, in the NAME OF JESUS.

Hey, Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. He wants a relationship, not religion. He doesn’t want heaven w/o us, His children. We’re made in His image: no wonder He loves us enough to pay our debts for us on the cross. He’s knocking and has a check for you, signed in His blood. Will you open your heart and let Him in? Jesus, please cause this precious child to feel Your presence right now. Then, to serve Him, pls turn your path away from your own direction and follow the Good Shepherd. He’s smart and by comparison we’re the sheep: dim-witted and helpless. Just follow the Good Shepherd. Then all these ghastly shenanigans we see can’t disturb our peace. Trust Him and obey Him. Join the team that’s gonna win bc God said so… GBUIJN 🌿🌸🌿

I need an amen on that one too. You know He always saves a remnant - be one of those.

At least, implicit in the pardon of Faux Chi, is the admission that HE DID HORRIBLE THINGS. I'm glad Trump is still alive, and our next President. I do pray that he finds out the truths about what Gates is pushing, before the further products become the new Gates to Hell.

I think he may have some clue. Trump defunded the WHO last time and Bill Gate is the biggest private funder of the WHO. I think/hope/pray he was just being diplomatic with Gates

We ddefinately are entering a major paradigm shift. I am more concerned we will put material prosperity over spiritual priority. Without the.latter corruption will not jus exist it will flourish as our temporal values take priority over the eternal.

I am not worried about Trump I am worried about OUR priorities that the blessings will become more important and a bigger priority than the God who blessed us.(See Rev 3 Church of Laodicea. I REALLY hope the past 4 years is a spiritual awskening. Globalists are not going to crawl under acrock and go away

I agree. This is a huge improvement, though. And there's plenty of time to criticize individual policy as time goes on which I am never against. But this broad condemnation before he even gets in office is really disheartening.

This.is a huge improvement again not criticizing anything about it I want to maximize it. It is on our shoulders not his

Yes, it is, you are correct, and I think we voted the way we did in a large part because of this issue. But you are correct, we are individually responsible for this. No politician can deal with it alone no matter what.

Probably so. But it makes sense to wait and see, criticize specific things, but give him credit for what he's doing right. This was just so surprising it came as a shock. Especially saying that Bobby was going to be neutralized. Nobody knows that yet and the leftists or establishment types sure don't think that. So can we get the guy in there first, and then public opinion can maybe sway some of this if it happens. I was encouraged about his military announcement that he is not going to do sanction every medical thing they come out with, is for informed consent, etc. This was especially negative--maybe gout driven. But Gees.

We all have already formed premature personal opinions/perspectives. The Malone's view is theirs...as of today, and just as valid as anyone else's.

Yep, and my opinion ABOUT HIS OPINION is valid. I would have italicized that not capitalized it if my tools would have allowed it. Not yelling. If you read my notes, I said I wasn't going to stop paying for his blog because he is voicing his opinions (I said that). I also said I was very disappointed he'd write something that broad when we know nothing about how things will shake out with Bobby and Trump wasn't even sworn in when this hit the internet. Why do you people think you have to defend Dr. Malone? He can do that. Why don't you engage with the issues I discuss and forget that? I am not on national tv criticizing him like Alex Berenson did. I am talking to HIM on his blog voicing my displeasure at this broad negativity this early. That showed up in my inbox. He wrote it. I'm responding to it. If you want to talk about policy and the issues I talked about, I'm happy to debate, but you think I shouldn't criticize him. That's MY prerogative that people like you forget about.

Preemptive pardons for crimes not charged cannot be a real thing. This idea must be rejected by all reasonable people.

Trump crypto currency, sneakers, watches, etc. are good ole buyer beware capitalism at work. The inevitable coexistence of capitalism and corruption. Comparatively small potatoes to censorship. persecution and unbridled immigration. My eternal optimism says the Trump / Gates meeting is a Trump "keep your enemies closer" strategy. RFK, Jr. unfortunately fly's in the face of the two most powerful lobbies on the planet; pharma and big agriculture. We will hear the Senatorial infinite derivations of "I'm being paid way too much to confirm" in the form of non-medical educational background etc., etc., etc.. For voters it will be a very distinct and bluntly obvious separation of Senatorial patriots and whores.

Why wouldn’t Trump get a group of storm trooper special force soldiers, blanket pardon them, himself and everyone in his administration and send them out, gather every Biden, every member of his cabinet, every member of the J 6th committee etc. and throw them all in the gulag after the railroaded J6ers are released. We have now entered Biden’s America!!! What a complete scumbag. I’m sure CNN is praising Biden, “what a wonderful thing he did!!!” Honestly I had a hard time watching the Democrat and rino traitors all in one room on TV, not sure how you could stand being in the same room as them. They made me sick.

They are unrepentant law breakers who refused to applaud when Trump said he would stop the weaponization of the DOJ and government and stop the invasion at our southern border—they orchestrated the invasion and the lawfare—they made us suffer and WANTED us to suffer while acting as if we were prospering and wanted their daily beatings.

Each Democratic Party administration gets worse from the previous, and those in the wings will continue the decline— they are as pathetic. I hope America is done with them! If not, what future do we have?

No matter what our government does or anyone else, we must return to Christ and embrace what that means in its entirety.

Ultimately it is our duty to confront evil and not condone harmful actions. By not actively opposing wrongdoing you could be looked at as complicit in the crime committed, even if you don’t directly participate. We should not judge others harshly but this does not mean turn a blind eye to wrong doing. This is what I really struggle with CQL. How do I handle people that are complicit to people that turn a blind eye or worse to these horrible crimes.

I have learned over time, and still learning, that not dealing too harshly with others keeps the door open for dialogue and a change of heart and direction with the person I am at odds with—this is a general statement.

In my excitement over Trump being sworn in, a close relative questioned my dedication to “the Truth of Jesus” because of Trump’s past and present immorality—and showed pictures and said he paid off a porn star he had an affair with. I did not give an answer last night, because of pain it caused me, as if I have approved of Trump’s openly immoral behavior—so I am silent, until my response can be given without anger or harshness. This might not be what you are talking about, but it’s what I struggle with.

I love this person dearly, and I have found that anger destroys relationships, and may God forbid I do that on my side, but I will not compromise Jesus for my relative or for Trump. If circumstances cause me to choose between a relationship with my relative, Trump, and Jesus, I’ll keep Jesus and lose the other two. If Trump begins to turn from Christ, I will not and cannot walk with him. Somehow I need to be able to communicate that to my relative in the proper tone and heart—God is still working on me, and He said that the work He began in me He will finish—therein lies my hope, and the hope I must give to others. God bless you James Goodrich.

Someone pointed out months ago, that if Biden is not fit to stand trial due to his mental state, how can he be capable of making pardons? I am not a lawyer, but you cannot have it both ways.
