President Donald Trump on Friday launched a bomb at the legacy of Joe Biden, declaring that all of the documents signed by the autopen in the White House, unless they specifically were authorized by Biden, now are "terminated."

Trump long has challenged the validity of many of the announcements that came out of the White House during Biden's last few months, at a time when evidence of a decline in Biden's cognitive abilities was publicly available.

Trump even posted a photograph of the autopen in place of Biden's image in a hall of presidential portraits.

In fact, evidence now has come available that Biden staffers routinely used the autopen, and it appears sometimes Biden was not fully participatory in those decisions.

They involve pardons, executive orders and much more.

Trump wrote, "Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.

An organization that advocates for judicial integrity is charging that a Georgia prosecutor who orchestrated part of the Democrats' lawfare agenda against President Donald Trump "belongs in jail."

The comments concerned Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat who hired her paramour with tax funding to organize a long list of organized crime charges against Trump and more than a dozen other people.

That case recently was thrown out by a judge who ruled it actually isn't against the law to challenge an election result.
Now Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, released a comment about Willis.

"Fulton County DA Fani Willis must face accountability for her clear corruption and unlawful weaponization of her office against President Trump and his supporters," he said. "She severely harmed a lot of good people with her bogus prosecutions for the non-crime of objecting to a presidential election, which is allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and the First Amendment.

"That's why Democrats didn't face charges for objecting to Republican presidential wins in 1968, 2000, 2004, and 2016. Fani Willis took our country to the brink. She belongs in prison." Davis said.

His organization works to defend constitutionalist judges and responds to leftist agendas for the courts, like the often-suggested court-packing in which a political party would simply install enough judges of their own ilk to control the outcomes of cases.

Davis previous was chief counsel for nominations to Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary.

The demise of Willis's activism against Trump came just days ago, when a judge tossed the claims.

The filing from Willis, in 2023, wildly claimed Trump and 18 others were part of an organized crime ring, charging them with counts under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Then the scandals started appearing, and her paramour, whom she hired with tax money to create the charges, was ordered off the case. Then she was ordered off the case. And her office was ordered off the case.

And now the case is being dismissed entirely.

A judge quickly granted the request from Pete Skandalakis, the chief of the Georgia Prosecuting Attorney's Council, who appointed himself to take over the prosecution when he couldn't find another prosecutor willing to work on Willis' claims, to dismiss.

Skandalakis explained the depth of the Willis' failure, which was, along with Jack Smith's now-dead federal claims, just part of the Democrats' organized lawfare against Trump that now has been revealed to have ascended to the highest levels of the Barack Obama administration and included secret federal government spying on the private telephone calls of multiple members of Congress. It all was triggered by an organized attempt by the failed Hillary Clinton campaign to falsely tie Trump to Russia.

"The criminal conduct alleged in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit's prosecution was conceived in Washington, D.C., not the State of Georgia. The federal government is the appropriate venue for this prosecution, not the State of Georgia. Indeed, if Special Counsel Jack Smith, with all the resources of the federal government at his disposal, after reviewing the evidence in this case and considering the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. United States, along with the years of litigation such a case would inevitably entail, concluded that prosecution would be fruitless, then I too find that, despite the available evidence, pursuing the prosecution of all those involved in State of Georgia v. Donald Trump, et al. on essentially federal grounds would be equally unproductive."
He filed a 22-page "Motion to Nolle Prosequi," a Latin term that simply means the prosecutor is unwilling to continue the case.
"Comes now, the state, by and through Peter J. Skandalakis, District Attorney Pro Tempore, and after a thorough examination of the case file, consideration of applicable statutory and case law, and prior to submission to a jury, the State hereby moves for entry of a Nolle Prosequi for the following reason: to serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality (see exhibit A).For all remaining defendants, this disposition meets the criteria for the Georgia Crime Information Center to Restrict access to the criminal history for this arrest pursuant to O.C.G.A. 35-3-37(h)(2)(A).THIS the 26th day of November…"

That resulted in him being removed, then Willis removed, and her office disqualified.

It was Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee who gave prosecuting attorneys 14 days to assign a new prosecutor to the charges, and just hours before the deadline, Skandalakis appointed himself.

WND has reported the case has involved scandal after scandal after scandal for Georgia. Willis hired her paramour to help develop the case, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax money on him. The two apparently took exotic vacations together, and Willis claimed she paid him back her share … in cash.

A report at the Washington Examiner said the "sweeping racketeering" case had been suspended by uncertainty for weeks now.

The case claimed Trump and others tried to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election.

Trump posted to Truth Social Wednesday afternoon, saying, "LAW and JUSTICE have prevailed in the Great State of Georgia, as the corrupt Fani Willis Witch Hunt against me, and other Great American Patriots, has been DISMISSED in its entirety. This Illegal, Unconstitutional, and unAmerican Hoax was perpetrated against our Nation by Fani and her Low I.Q. Lover, Nathan Wade, at the direction of Crooked Joe Biden and his 'Handlers.' …

"The Deranged Democrats did all they could to viciously attack me, my supporters, and our MAGA Movement, for telling the TRUTH — THE 2020 ELECTION WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN, and they committed Crime after Crime as they weaponized our Law Enforcement and Justice System against HONEST AND LOVING Americans but, we have fought back and won both in the Courts and Politically with our Historic, Country saving, Landslide Victory of November 5, 2024."

An expert has explained, in an online commentary, that President Donald Trump now has an opportunity to fix what Rep. Nancy Pelosi broke in America's trade agenda during his first term.

It is Andrei Iancu, who helped negotiate trade deals during Trump's first term, who explained what Pelosi damaged, and how a fix could be in the works now.

It was during work on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a plan that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement, that the damage happened, he said.
And he noted a fix is possible soon, as the three nations soon are to meet to discuss how it is working.

He explained there had been a provision protecting drug manufacturers in America from knockoffs created by overseas competitors in the original plan.

But "that provision designed to reduce foreign freeloading was stripped from the agreement at the insistence of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose support was necessary to pass the USMCA's implementing legislation through Congress," he explained.

Trump's administration, he said, now could push for the restoration of the original provisions during the coming discussions, he said.

The benefits for Americans are obvious: "Strengthening regulatory data protection in our neighbors would end the freeloading and help bring lower prices to American patients," he said.

It would be, he said, "a political and economic victory."

"During the first Trump administration, as under secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, I worked on the intellectual property aspects of that pact," Iancu explained.

"The president, U.S. Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer, and the rest of the team secured numerous concessions from our northern and southern neighbors to strengthen intellectual property (IP) protections — which help prevent foreign rivals from stealing technologies and designs from innovative American companies, reduce foreign free-riding on America's investment in innovation and incentivize American firms to boost their research spending and expand into foreign markets."

The biggest issue, however, was "a requirement that Mexico and Canada offer 10 years of 'regulatory data protection' to cutting-edge biologic medicines grown from living cell cultures."

That is what Pelosi cut out of the plan, he said.

It is during that time period that rival companies aren't allowed to use the clinical trial data of a biologic developer to create their own "knockoff" products, he said.

Those protections allow innovators to recoup their development investments, which often are costly, and that "incentivizes them to pour more resources into research and development, creating research and manufacturing jobs in the process," he said.

Trump's goal at the time was straightforward: "Raise protections abroad, so that foreign manufacturers can't free ride on American biotech inventors by prematurely introducing knockoff products," he said.

He said support was needed from Pelosi, then House speaker, for the legislation to move forward, and she refused to allow the protections for American companies.

"Now, though, there's a new Congress. The second Trump administration would be wise to push for the original terms, which Canada and Mexico had already agreed to, during the upcoming USMCA review," he wrote.
"Stronger intellectual property protections would mean more new treatments for patients — at lower prices for Americans — along with more high-paying jobs in the industries of the future, and continued leadership in critical 21st-century industries for the United States."

As President Donald Trump has worked to secure America's borders and remove from the United States those inside its borders illegally, especially criminal illegal aliens, the attacks on those officers enforcing those laws, in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, have exploded.

By thousands of threats and attacks in recent months.

Now the federal government has revealed that two brothers allegedly plotting an attack that was to have killed ICE officers have been arrested.

And one of them was employed as an assistant principal at a high school.

According to an announcement from the Department of Homeland Security, arrested were John Wilson Bennett and Mark Booth Bennett, both American citizens.

They allegedly were "planning to carry out attacks against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents."

The case developed when a Virginia police officer overheard the brothers "discussing plans to 'kill police officers and ICE agents,'" DHS confirmed.

Mark Bennett was also overheard saying he was planning to meet with likeminded individuals in Las Vegas, Nev., to purchased firearms with explosive rounds to carry out the attacks, DHS revealed.
The investigation was launched by the DHS and Virginia Beach police just days ago.

It was on Nov. 19 that Mark Bennett was arrested at the Norfolk International Airport where he was scheduled to depart on a flight to Charlotte, North Carolina, en route to Las Vegas, authorities said.

That same day John Bennett was arrested in Virginia Beach, where he has served as the assistant principal of Kempsville High since 2009, they confirmed.

"It's chilling that a human being, much less a child educator, would plot to ambush and kill ICE law enforcement officers—offering such specifics as to getting a high caliber rifle that would pierce the law enforcements' bullet proof vests. Thanks to Homeland Security Investigations and our partners, these men are behind bars," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

"Our officers are facing a more than 1,150% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats while they risk their lives every single day to remove the worst of the worst including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists, and gang members. From bounties placed on their heads for their murders, threats to their families, stalking, and doxxing online, our officers are experiencing an unprecedented level of violence and threats against them and their families."

Pending charges against the two include conspiracy to commit malicious wounding.

A Democrat senator from Minnesota has gone to social media with an attempt to slam President Donald Trump by making claims about "surging" electricity prices, but instead actually delivered the facts about the massive economic failure of President Joe Biden.

A report at ZeroHedge called the work by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., a "propaganda blunder."

Klobuchar posted online a chart she said shows electricity prices are "surging – up 11% — leaving millions behind on their utility bills."

However, the chart showed only "past-due utility" balances, not electricity prices.

Community notes online immediately delivered a correction to Klobuchar: "Joe Biden was president from January 20 2021 – January 20, 2025. Also, this chart is not representing the cost of electricity. It is showing the average past-due balances of Americans, which soared since 2022 under Joe Biden's presidency."

ZeroHedge explained, "Leftist Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota should be investigating the claims of a sprawling welfare-fraud network tied to the state's Somali community – schemes that reportedly funneled taxpayer dollars overseas, including at least one terrorist group. Instead, her office's social media team attempted, one day before Thanksgiving, to launch a propaganda campaign on affordability on X that backfired spectacularly, culminating in a humiliating Community Note that exposed her sheer cluelessness."

The online scolding just got worse, with a modification of Klobuchar's original post to show what happened under Biden's regime.

And, the report added, "Kyle Bass, founder and chief investment officer of Hayman Capital Management, pointed out that the entire post mirrors the same blunder the Democratic Party made with grocery prices propaganda earlier this year on X – what an epic screw up that was."

Gary Beckstrom, the father of fallen American hero Sarah Beckstrom, a member of the West Virginia National Guard who was shot and killed by a terrorist in Washington, D.C., led a long list of memorials to her, the day after she died.

"My baby girl has passed to glory," he posted on social media. "If I don't talk to you don't be offend[ed] this has been a horrible tragedy."

Dozens of comments, expressing love and prayers for the family, followed.

She was shot, along with Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, who remains hospitalized, allegedly by a migrant from Afghanistan who had been allowed into this country by the Biden administration.

The two had been deployed to Washington for "Operation DC Safe and Beautiful" to fight rising crime.

They were ambushed in broad daylight.

According to the Gateway Pundit, The two heroes had volunteered to work that day so others could be home with their families for Thanksgiving."

Pam Bondi, the U.S. attorney general, explained, "She volunteered to be there on Thanksgiving — working today — she volunteers, as did many of those guardsmen and women so other people could be home with their families."

The suspect in the shooting, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national who came to the U.S. under a program set up by Joe Biden, is facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder.

A recognized expert on China has written in a column at the Gatestone Institute explaining that Alibaba, the Chinese version of megacompany Amazon, should be unceremoniously booted from the New York Stock Exchange.

"In these circumstances, it is strategically wrong to support any element of a system that is assaulting the free world in general and the United States in particular," explained China expert Gordon Chang. "It is also morally wrong to do so. It is time to delist Alibaba and all other Chinese companies from American stock exchanges and to prohibit Americans from doing business with any of them. All of them are America's enemies."

Alibaba, in fact, had a market value of some $231 billion when its IPO in 2014 raised $25 billion.
It is in the top few dozen companies worldwide. It is into technology, e-commerce, retail, Internet and more.

It provides consumer-to-consumer, business-to-consumer, and business-to-business operations.

It owns and operates a long list of other corporations.

It is into capital investments and artificial intelligence.

However, Chang wrote in the Gatestone Institute column that, "Alibaba provides tech support for Chinese military 'operations' against targets in the U.S."

He said, at least, that's what a White House memo charged, according to the Financial Times.

"The Chinese giant reportedly provided 'access to customer data that includes IP addresses, WiFi information and payment records, as well as different AI-related services,'" he explained, "Whether the FT report is accurate or not—it sounds accurate—it is time to delist Alibaba from the New York Stock Exchange and remove all other Chinese companies from U.S. stock listings. All of them are integral parts of a hostile regime assaulting America."

While China's embassy in Washington denied the memo's information, Chang explained its denials "cannot possibly be true."

"There are no real privacy protections in China's total surveillance society " Chang explained. "The Communist Party of China runs a unitary state and demands absolute obedience from all individuals, businesses, and institutions in the country. Businesses operate as separate entities and report to separate controlling government bodies, but they are not separate. Washington must stop assuming that Chinese society is organized the same way as America's."

He charged that any and all Chinese entities, government or commercial, should "be treated as one single organization, the way the Party views them."

After all, the Chinese Communist Party "has access to everything any Chinese company, state-owned or privately owned, or Chiense institution possesses."

And that party "has declared the United States to be its enemy," he said.

He noted the opinion from Richard Fisher, of the International Assessment and Strategy Center, who said, "The Chinese Communist Party has exceeded the extreme lengths taken by the Soviet Communist Party to integrate and subordinate its 'civilian economy' to serve the larger goals of its 'military economy.' All Chinese companies, factories, universities, and local governments either directly or indirectly support the military."

"Did Alibaba in fact support the Chinese military as the White House memo charges? Only those with access to classified information know," Chang wrote. "Yet the truth of the White House's charge does not matter. What matters is that Alibaba is part of the Communist Party's system."

Democrats' multiple and ongoing attacks on the U.S. military, including the recent video from six Democrats in Congress telling soldiers to disobey President Trump's "illegal orders" without identifying any, is part of a scheme to return America to Joe Biden's "open borders" agenda.

That's the concern of Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin Republican who earlier was integral in exposing how the Biden administration lost track of hundreds of thousands of migrant children who arrived illegally at America's border and were allowed in.

A report at Just the News explains Grothman charged, "They want to get out in front and make sure we don't enforce their immigration laws. It's that simple."

He continued, in his interview on the "Just the News, No Noise," television show, "We've got a situation [in which] about four times as many people every year are becoming new citizens compared to when you and I were children. I mean, way more people becoming citizens legally.

"But the Democrat Party – and this is a sign they want to destroy America – they want our immigration laws not enforced, and they want to make sure that our National Guard, whatever, does not enforce them."

He later added, after two members of the National Guard were shot by a terrorist in Washington:

"My prayers are with the National Guard members who were tragically killed in this horrific act of violence, and with their families during this unimaginable time. There is absolutely no place for this in our country. These guardsmen were simply doing their duty: protecting the American people and our nation's capital. I'm grateful for every individual who serves and stands guard to keep our communities safe," he said.

Grothman had used a House subcommittee earlier to reveal the Biden administration's negligence in losing track of migrant children who came to the U.S. without their parents.

The report noted he and other members of the GOP have been investigating the illegal results of unchecked illegal immigration, such as its unfair impact on American voters through unbalanced apportionment, their demands for programs requiring taxpayer dollars, and more.

He warned that the Democrats will return to an open borders agenda immediately if they return to positions to make those decisions.

The problem, he said, encompasses not just members of Congress but also governors, mayors, people in sanctuary cities, and more.

And it won't go well, he warned.

"If the Democrats take over again, go back to this idea of 2 million or 3 million people a year crossing the border, it's the end of the United States. But again, look at all the high-profile Democrats, in essence, saying we do not want our immigration laws enforced."

The six members of Congress who made the viral video are now under investigation, Sen. Mark Kelly by the Department of War since he's subject to recall to active duty, and the other five by the FBI.

It's now become a first-degree murder case against Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, a native of Afghanistan who is in custody on charges he ambushed two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., shooting both and killing one.

Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for D.C., confirmed, "It is a premeditated murder. There was an ambush with a gun toward people who didn't know what was coming. And that is the homicide, and that is the murder that we're looking at right now."

She said, 'You can go into all the other stuff. But as a prosecutor, my job is to prove what happened at that scene. And make no mistake, we will do that."
The upgrade to the case came after it was announced that one of the two Guardsmen ambushed had died. Trump made the announcement about the loss of U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, who died on Thanksgiving Day.

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition.

Pirro, in an interview on Fox & Friends, said, "She volunteered and she ended up being shot, ambush style, on the cold streets of Washington, D.C., by an individual who will now be charged with murder in the first degree. There are certainly many more charges to come, but we are upgrading the initial charges of assault to murder in the first degree."

Pirro said there remained hope for Wolfe.

The suspect reportedly came into the United States under a program set up by Joe Biden, which allowed newcomers to enter without proper vetting.

"This is a targeted shooting," Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters.

Bill Melugin of Fox News indicated: "Per multiple federal law enforcement sources, the suspect in custody for the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in DC is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. on 9/8/2021 as part of the Biden admin's Operation Allies Welcome in the aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"I'm told his permission to be in the U.S. expired in September of this year, and he is now in the country illegally."

The New York Post reported Lakanwal was allegedly lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the Farragut West Metro Station, "then opened fire, striking a female guard in the chest before shooting her in the head, according to law enforcement sources."

Trump promised the attacker would "pay a very steep price."

A Wisconsin judge who is accused – and soon on criminal trial – for allegedly helping a criminal illegal alien try to escape from federal officers has been handed a series of defeats in a motions hearing.

A federal judge handling the immigration-related case for suspended Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan said Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI chief Kash Patel are not going to be on the defense's list of mandatory witnesses.

Further, he said she could not argue that her behavior, allegedly criminal according to an indictment, had to be allowed because they were part of her judicial duties.
