Biden commutes sentences of 37 federal death row inmates in final month of presidency

By Elizabeth Pritchett  | Fox News President Biden is commuting the sentences of nearly all the inmates on federal death row, a move that comes not even two weeks after he went through with the "largest single-day grant of clemency" in American history, the White House announced Monday. Of the 40 inmates on federal death row, according to DeathPenaltyInfo.org, Biden is commuting 37 men sentenced to death, reclassifying their sentences to life without the possibility of parole. The three inmates not included are: Robert Bowers, who is responsible for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018, which left 11 people dead; Dylann Roof, a White supremacist who killed nine Black parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015; and Dzhokhar Tsa...

Kittle: Check yourself, PolitiFact. Here are the biggest ‘Lies of the Year’

By M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist I can only imagine how much delusion filled the room of the PolitiFact “brainstorming” session to choose the “winning” selection of its latest “Lie of the Year.” Bonchie at RedState nailed it with a post on X musing about what the meeting must have looked like through the eyes of a fresh-faced intern yet to realize that PolitiFact is nothing more than a leftist propaganda operation.  READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE FEDERALIST

UnitedHealthcare covers double mastectomies for 17-year-olds with gender dysphoria

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | The Daily Signal America’s largest health insurance company covers double mastectomies for some 17-year-old girls who identify as transgender. UnitedHealthcare’s “Gender Dysphoria Treatment” guide, which took effect Dec. 1, says: “For mastectomy or breast reduction, individuals must be at least 18 years of age; however, individuals within one calendar year of turning 18 can be considered on a case-by-case basis.” UnitedHealthcare didn’t immediately respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment on the circumstances in which the health insurance company would cover double mastectomies for minors or how often it makes exceptions.

Senate Democrats use ethics investigation to target conservative Supreme Court justices

By Gabrielle M. Etzel and Kaelan Deese | Washington Examiner Senate Democrats on Saturday morning concluded a nearly two-year-long investigation into the ethical practices of the Supreme Court, issuing a final report that focused on the court’s conservative members, accusing them of impropriety such as accepting lavish gifts and failing to recuse amidst conflicts of interests.  “Now more than ever before, as a result of information gathered by subpoenas, we know the extent to which the Supreme Court is mired in an ethical crisis of its own making,” Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Dick Durbin (D-IL) said in a statement Saturday morning.  The 97-page staff report accuses Justice Clarence Thomas, who joined the court in 1991, of receiving millions of dollars...

Craffey: How Trump can make the auto industry great again

By Matthew Craffey | Commentary, The Federalist When President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in as our 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025, he will inherit an auto industry that has been greatly diminished in recent years. There are many reasons for this decline, including the misguided environmental policies of the Biden administration, Chinese market manipulation and exploitation, and trade deals and regulations that cripple American auto manufacturers. Just how bad are things? Well, Stellantis (the parent company of Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram) reported a 48 percent profit decline in the first half of 2024, followed by a 27 percent drop in the third quarter. Astronomical fuel-efficiency fines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) h...

But Trump has stayed noticeably silent on this latest measure – which many House Republicans saw as a tacit sign of approval. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS
