The Babylon Bee Has Obtained Trump's New And Improved World Map At his inauguration this week, PRESIDENT Trump (gosh, that feels good to type) announced he would be officially renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He also restored the name "Mt. McKinley" from whatever dumb thing the natives had called it. We are so back! We caught word that this wasn't the only thing Trump intended to rename, so we sent our best reporter, Joel, to the White House to see if he could find any more info. He managed to actually obtain this official map displaying everything Trump plans on renaming: [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/the-babylon-bee-has-obtained-trumps-new-and-improved-world-map

Biden Takes Comfort In Fact That At Least He Did His Best To Ruin Country WASHINGTON, D.C. — Looking back over his legacy, sources said now-former President Joe Biden consoled himself with the fact that, no matter what else he may have done, at least he did his very best to ruin the country during his four years in office. While Biden was disappointed to not receive a second term, he nonetheless took pride in his masterful handling of the destruction of America's economy, foreign relations, public policy, security, and sovereignty. "I took over a country in shambles from a deadly global pandemic, and... and... and COVID," Biden told his staff this morning. "We had the worst economy since... the time that the... ever since.

'Scram, Ya Dirty Rats!' Shouts Tommy Gun-Wielding Melania Chasing Democrats Out Of Town [...] Witnesses reported seeing the first lady walking through Washington, D.C. streets in a sharp gangster suit and informing all Democrats that they must "scram" and get out of the city if they knew what was good for them. "There's no room in this berg for you two-bit rats, see?" Melania was heard shouting as Democrats scrambled for cover from her machine gun fire. "Youse all got til midnight tonight to pack up and go on the lam, or you'll be wakin' up to a lead breakfast, ya got it?"

Exclusive: FBI Whistleblower Who Exposed J6 Weaponization Speaks Out on Pardons A former FBI agent who was aggressively targeted for challenging Biden's weaponized federal campaign against J6ers spoke out on Donald Trump's J6 pardons in exclusive comments to PJ Media. Steve Friend is an FBI whistleblower and now a podcaster who lost his job and found himself the target of outrageous federal persecution after he respectfully challenged his superiors on the unconstitutional, illegal, biased campaign against Jan. 6 protestors. He and fellow whistleblowers who call themselves "The Suspendables" saw up close and personal just how terrible the corruption in the FBI was, and now Friend is praising Trump for pardoning or commuting the sentences of nearly all Jan. 6 prisoners. Friend told me, "Blanket pardons are the correct decision. Regardless of the fact pattern for any particular J6 case, the federal government made a deliberate decision to depart from its obligation to follow due process. When that happens, the justice system in a free country has no alternative but to consider cases irrevocably tainted and every defendant must go free."

D.C. Gulag Holds J6 Prisoners Hostage Despite Trump's Pardons [...] the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers under the Biden-Harris administration for four years are defying the law one last time. J6ers and friends reported prisons and halfway houses across America slow-rolling prisoners' releases, and the infamous Washington, D.C., jail nicknamed the Gulag flat out refused to release multiple J6 hostages.

Despite Biden Pardon, Fauci Still Faces Legal Perils. Here They Are. [...] Despite reporting that Trump is bent on revenge, the appetite among MAGA appointees for holding Fauci accountable hasn't been particularly vocal. But former Senate investigator Jason Foster, who now runs the whistleblower nonprofit Empower Oversight, says that Biden's pardon creates new legal jeopardy for Fauci. Sen. Rand Paul has vowed to continue investigating the COVID origins question, and sources tell RealClearInvestigations that Sen. Ron Johnson and House Republican investigators plan to do so as well. When testifying in those inquiries or answering written depositions, Fauci will be unable to dodge questions by invoking his Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination. "They can ask him if he lied before, replough old ground," Foster said. "And if he lies about any prior lie, he can be prosecuted for that or held in contempt."

Aides Gently Guide Biden To Retirement Home Room Disguised As Oval Office WASHINGTON, D.C. — Confusion was averted for an outgoing leader today, as departing White House aides softly guided now-former President Joe Biden to a room in a retirement home they carefully disguised as the Oval Office. "Here you go, Joe, yes, right this way. Good job," aide Jeff Stanworth said as he guided Biden gently by the elbow to a mock-up of the Resolute Desk. "This phone calls Russia just like in the before times! You have all your favorite things right here... look, it's the little bell you ring when you want Jill to come in and bring you a juice box!

Democracy Falls As Man Who Received The Most Votes Becomes President [...] Weeping could be heard echoing throughout the streets of every American city this morning as citizens of the United States were confronted with the terrifying truth that democracy had been destroyed by having the man who everyone voted for take office. "This is indeed a dark day," said historian and professor Clifford Martin. "The American experiment has survived for nearly 250 years, continuing the tradition started by the ancient Greeks who created the concept of democracy… but today we have seen its end. The man who won more votes than anyone else has been sworn in as president, and that's just not how democracy works."

AOC has laid the foundation for Trump to sue her for defamation I'm sure that all of you remember how ABC and George Stephanopoulos entered into a $15 million settlement with Donald Trump, plus providing an apology, after George S repeatedly called Donald Trump a "rapist." Trump was never tried or found guilty of rape, and calling him a "rapist" was and is pure defamation. (And that's entirely separate from the peculiarities in E. Jean Carroll's narrative.) It seems, though, that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ("AOC") missed out on that whole $15 million dollars thing. On Sunday, in one of a series of anti-Trump rants, AOC explicitly called Trump a rapist. Many instantly noted what she'd done and reminded Trump that he should sue her: [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/01/aoc_has_laid_the_foundation_for_trump_to_sue_her_for_defamation.html

Trump Slams Biden's Family Pardons: 'Makes Him Look Very Guilty' [...] It is likely that Donald Trump did not know about the pardons until after he was sworn in, but we found out his reaction to them Monday evening while he was signing executive orders when a reporter asked what he thought about the pardons Biden gave to members of his family. "I was surprised that President Biden would go and pardon his whole family because that makes him look very guilty," Trump told the reporter. "You know, I could have pardoned my family. I could have pardoned myself, my family. I said, 'If I do that, it's going to make me look very guilty.' I don't think I'd be sitting here, frankly, if I did that. I don't think I'd be sitting here right now, because I would have… shown that you're guilty."

Trump Rips Security Clearances From the 51 Spies Who Lied, Then He Hit Them With Another Bombshell President Donald Trump, as expected, has signed an executive order revoking the security clearances of 51 intelligence officers who signed a letter portraying Hunter Biden's laptop as 'Russian disinformation' before the 2020 presidential election. The order also authorizes further investigation into those involved in the publication of the infamous letter. It requires the "Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency" to "revoke any current or active clearances" of the listed 51 individuals. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Directors Mike Hayden, John Brennan, and Leon Panetta, and former National Security Advisor John Bolton are on the list.

Biden Commutes the Sentence of Indigenous Activist Who Killed Two FBI Agents [...] just two days before Christmas, Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row, including five child killers and several mass murderers. But wait, there's more. There was one more last-day commutation of the sentence of Leonard Peltier, an Indigenous activist who killed two FBI agents. But we're supposed to be shocked by Donald Trump pardoning January 6 rioters who didn't kill anybody. [...] https://twitchy.com/brettt/2025/01/20/leonard-peltier-commutation-n2407021

If anyone needed to hang by the neck... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark Milley's Portrait Ripped Off Pentagon Wall Just Hours After Trump Is Sworn In It seems former President Joe Biden (how good is it to say those words?) and his blanket preemptive pardons won't extend to Mark Milley's portrait at least. Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who on several occasions subverted orders from his Commander-in-Chief, had his portrait removed from the Pentagon within two hours of President Donald Trump's inauguration. The portrait's removal has been confirmed by CNN and Reuters. It had been revealed just 10 days ago. https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2025/01/20/mark-milleys-portrait-ripped-off-the-wall-just-hours-after-trump-is-sworn-in-n2184585

Legacy Media Already At It as Washington Post Reporter Just Happens to Capture Sobbing Immigrant Woman The legacy media is already attempting to show just how heartless and cruel the Trump administration supposedly is with what is clearly a pre-arranged moment.
