Biden betrays America with pardons while Democrats hide behind hypocrisy

01-17-25 Biden pardons criminals while Democrats lead the country into a further national divide. Click here to view the YouTube video Podcast or watch using the video widget below. 

America is more divided today than it ever was under Trump or Biden mainly because Democrats and Republicans refuse to compromise and continue to embrace extremist rhetoric and personal attacks

Two Guys on Politics co-hosts Ray Hanania and Bill Lipinski return in the first episode of Season 4 slamming outgoing President Joe Biden and Democrats for continuing to fuel the nation’s divide.

Lipinski and Hanania express support for Trump pursuing agreements on Greenland and the Panama Canal to prevent those entities from coming under the control of the Communist nations of Russia and China. Trump has been aggressive and reports — but it could just be media bias — suggest he would invade Greenland and Panama to achieve those takeovers.

Biden warns of “Oligarchy” in final speech — a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution.

They criticize the hypocrisy of Sen. Tim Kaine in harassing Trump nominee Pete Hegseth on allegations of sexual harassment. Kaine was the running mate of Hillary Clinton, whose husband, Bill Clinton was the sexual predator-in-chief. Kaine criticized Hegseth, who was the victim of many unproven accusations but Kaine said nothing about Hillary Clinton’s ‘s husband Bill Clinton and his sexual predatory actions.

They criticize US Rep. Adam Schiff from California, another hypocrite who was behind false assertions against Trump. Schiff misled the American public with “falsehoods, misrepresentations and abuses of sensitive information.” Schiff’s probe of Trump was defamatory and filled with lies.

Democrats are the party of crimes … putting a priority on defending and protecting criminals, so it’s not surprising that Biden would set the record on criminals being pardoned or being given clemency. Republicans have been no better, also defending criminals.

Biden commuted the sentence of former Pennsylvania Judge Michael Conahan, who was convicted in 2011 for sending children to for-profit detention centers in exchange for kickbacks. Conahan pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges and was sentenced to more than 17 years in federal prison. But the outrages don’t stop there.

Biden also granted clemency to a former healthcare executive in Indiana who led a massive fraud scheme that ripped off nursing homes that take care of the elderly. Former American Senior Communities CEO James Burkhart, at the time, paid an annual salary of more than $1 million, and orchestrated a $19.4 million scheme targeting nursing homes in the Marion County public health system. He used the money − intended to provide care for low-income elderly and disabled patients − to pay for private jets, vacation homes, diamond jewelry and gold bars.

Biden Commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 Federal Death Row inmates … but avoided three mass murders fearing backlash: he did not commute the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting killer, the gunman at Mother Emanuel Church, nor the surviving Bostin Marathon Bomber. The 37 killers he did commute are among the worst killers in the world.

Biden set a record for commuting more convicts than any previous president including 2,500 drug users and dealers.

Lipinski and Hanania also discuss the passing of President Jimmy Carter, one of the nicest and moral presidents America ever had, although he was not a great politician.
