Man, the CA insurance commissioner could have Hunter's ass in a sling, if he really wanted to and if Hunter tries any kind of funny business with regard to his "art" going up in the fires.

It wasn't as if he needed to remove all doubt about any claims of being a unifier on his way out. I wonder when the last time an outgoing president in his departing speech gave dire doomsday warnings about the incoming administration. I've never heard of it.

Biden was channeling Eisenhower's warning about the military industrial complex. Biden is a petty, unimaginative little fella.

I'd like to see the appraisal method used on Hunters "artwork" starting on noon Monday.

The actual artwork is likely worth something under $500, the "other considerations" are about to expire and much harder to insure.

I wonder if there is a betting game on that one in Las Vegas?

^^^^^Still way overpriced.

Incredible how FU the health care system has become since these two became President.

Biden’s Policy Provided Exemptions for Thousands of Foreign Nationals With Terrorism-Related Restrictions

Biden administration granted nearly 7,000 exemptions to foreign nationals with terrorism-related restrictions in 2024, sparking security concerns.
At a Glance
• 6,848 exemptions granted in FY 2024, mostly to refugees.
• Significant increase from previous years’ exemptions.
• Afghan evacuees and allies among those receiving waivers.
• Republicans criticize potential security risks.
• DHS emphasizes rigorous vetting process for all applicants.
Surge in Exemptions for Foreign Nationals
The Biden administration significantly increased the number of exemptions granted to foreign nationals who would otherwise be ineligible for U.S. admission due to terrorism-related restrictions. In fiscal year 2024, nearly 7,000 individuals, predominantly refugees, were granted entry despite prior restrictions. This marks a substantial rise from previous years, with 6,848 total exemptions compared to 2,085 in FY 2023 and just 361 in FY 2020.
The surge in exemptions aligns with the administration’s broader immigration policies, including an increase in the refugee cap to 125,000, up from 18,000 during the Trump administration. Of the total exemptions, 6,653 were granted to refugees, while others were extended to asylum applicants, green card holders, and Temporary Protected Status applicants.
Exemptions for Afghan Allies and Evacuees
A significant portion of the exemptions were granted to Afghan evacuees and allies following the 2021 Taliban takeover. These included 29 waivers for Afghan allies, 374 for civil servants, and 3,134 for those who provided limited support to terror organizations. Additionally, 2,946 exemptions were given under a 2007 authority for support provided under duress.
“These exemptions will allow eligible individuals who pose no national security or public safety risk to receive asylum, refugee status, or other legal immigration status, demonstrating the United States’ continued commitment to our Afghan allies and their family members.” – DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) emphasizes that a rigorous security vetting process is in place for all applicants considered for exemptions. This process aims to ensure that only individuals who do not pose a threat to national security are granted entry.
Republican Criticism and Security Concerns
The increase in exemptions has drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers and immigration hawks. They argue that expanding immigration pathways could potentially increase terrorism risks. Critics point to the broad definition of terrorism-related activity as a source of concern, noting that exemptions are not limited to specific conflicts or regions.
“Joe Biden and his administration have viciously targeted parents at school board meetings, pro-life Americans, Catholics, and Trump supporters—designating some as ‘domestic terrorists’—instead of catching actual terrorists and keeping them out of the country.” – Michael Bars
The controversy surrounding these exemptions comes as the Biden administration faces ongoing challenges at the southern border and criticism over its broader immigration policies. While supporters of the exemptions view them as fulfilling commitments to allies and those in need, opponents express concern over potential security vulnerabilities.
Looking Ahead
As the debate over immigration and national security continues, the Biden administration’s approach to exemptions for foreign nationals with terrorism-related restrictions remains a contentious issue. The significant increase in waivers granted in FY 2024 suggests a shift in policy that is likely to face ongoing scrutiny from both supporters and critics alike. The administration’s challenge will be to balance humanitarian concerns with the imperative of maintaining national security, all while navigating a politically charged landscape.

A lot of damage can still take place over the weekend.

Report: Jill Biden Is Urging Joe To ‘Burn The Whole Thing Down’
BY RVM NEWS STAFF
DECEMBER 19, 2024


As Joe Biden nears the end of his presidency, his final weeks in office have been a mix of farewell gestures, holiday traditions, and simmering tensions with former allies within the Democratic Party.
Both he and First Lady Jill Biden have taken steps that suggest a focus on settling political scores, reshaping relationships, and preparing for life outside the White House.

Biden Commutes Sentences For Nearly 2,500 Americans Convicted Of Non-Violent Drug Offenses

President Joe Biden said on Jan. 17 that he is commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 individuals, marking the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.

The latest pardons are being granted to people who were convicted of non-violent drug offenses and who are serving “disproportionately long” sentences compared to those they would receive today under current law, policy, and practice, Biden said in a statement published by the White House.

As Katabella Roberts reports for The Epoch Times, Biden pointed to two pieces of legislation: the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which reduced the disparity in sentences for crack cocaine and powder cocaine offenses from a weight ratio of 100 to 1 to 18 to 1, and the First Step Act of 2018, aimed at reducing the size of the federal prison population while promoting rehabilitation.

The previous weight ratio of 100 to 1 meant that 5 grams of crack cocaine, for example, was treated as equivalent to 500 grams of powder cocaine for sentencing purposes.

“Today’s clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes,” Biden said.

“As Congress recognized through the Fair Sentencing Act and the First Step Act, it is time that we equalize these sentencing disparities,” Biden said.

With this latest action, Biden has now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in U.S. history.

“This action is an important step toward righting historic wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families and communities after spending far too much time behind bars,” Biden said.

“I am proud of my record on clemency and will continue to review additional commutations and pardons.”

The White House did not immediately release the names of those receiving commutations.

Biden Pardons Hunter, Death Row Inmates

In December 2024, Biden said he was pardoning 39 people and commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 others who had been convicted of nonviolent crimes such as drug offenses. The president said at the time that these commutation recipients were placed in home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and “have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities and have shown that they deserve a second chance.”

In a separate statement, the White House said many of those impacted by December’s pardons and commutation were parents, veterans, health care professionals, teachers, advocates, and engaged members of their communities who had “used their experiences in the criminal justice system to inspire and encourage others.”

Also in December, Biden announced he was commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on death row, reclassifying their penalty to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Biden has advocated for an end to the death penalty at the federal level in the United States except for limited cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder.

When he first took office, he imposed a moratorium on federal executions while the Justice Department reviewed policies and procedures surrounding the practice.

He commuted 37 sentences, leaving three federal inmates facing execution: 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev; Dylann Roof, who shot and killed nine people at a church in South Carolina in 2015; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018.

Earlier in December, Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, who had been criminally convicted and was facing sentencing in two separate cases involving tax evasion and illegal possession of a firearm.

Biden is set to leave office on Jan. 20. His successor, President-elect Donald Trump, has vowed to expand executions for federal inmates in order to “protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters” and restore law and order.

Wait!
What?

Ask yourselves how many of these "non violent" prisoners pleaded down their sentences under Soros stooges/DA's?
I sincerely hope they checked to make sure those weren't plea-downs for violent offenses. Given the competency of the administration, I cannot assume they did.

Enjoy your upcoming crime wave in America's urban shitholes.

Pre-Obama my yearly family deductible for my employer provided healthcare plan was $650. And there were IIRC 9-10 plans to choose from

Now, post-Obama in the glorious age of the “Affordable” Care Act, my yearly family deductible was $6,850 in 2024.

And there’s just two choices now:

-The crappy HDHP
-Tough shit
