With dissenter Alyssa Farah Griffin conspicuously absent from Tuesday’s episode of The View with no explanation, after she called out President Biden for lying about pardoning is son Hunter, the more far-left members of the cast whined and lashed out at those who dared to call Biden a liar. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg argued that such talk was “hurtful” to the country, and co-host Sunny Hostin was engaging in supreme whataboutism. After playing a series of soundbites of congressional Democrats upset with Biden for lying about not pardoning his son, Goldberg lashed out at Senator Michael Bennett (D-CO) for saying Biden’s lying was “hurtful for the American people.” “You know what I think is hurtful for the American people? I think what is hurtful is denying that if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. He is the president of the United States,” she decried. Flaunting her ignorance of the pardon process, Goldberg proclaimed that “it is his right and he doesn't have to explain to anybody, this is his right as president. He can pardon -- If he wants to pardon Bozo the Clown, he can pardon Bozo the Clown!” “So, I'm not sure why, again, people are clutching their pearls – while the left is clutching their pearls because did y'all forget all the stuff that we said was going on or that doesn't matter?” she huffed.     Goldberg then went on a rant about how Democrats can have it both ways because “we take the moral ground all the time” and shouldn’t be chewing out Biden because of it: I just want to say, Democrats, you can't have it both ways. You can't have it both ways. You can't let people tell you're not taking the moral ground when we take the moral ground all the time! We fight for migrant rights, women's rights, gay folks' rights, trans rights and every time we do suddenly we're being told, ‘oh, you're on the woke agenda.’ Either we are this party and we fight for these things and you see what's going on, and you get why he's decided to do this, or you don't. But you don't go out and chew up other Democrats. This is a big problem, I feel as a Democrat. Hostin agreed and denounced the “internal firing squad” happening within the Democratic Party. “It's been really bothering me,” she lamented. “I don't think that he was lying,” she proclaimed as she proceeded to blame President-elect Trump for Biden pardoning his son. She argued that Trump’s victory brought “changing circumstances,” thus “he became the pragmatic president that we always knew.” The shouting started while Hostin was engaging in whataboutism arguing that since Trump had told lies, Biden’s lies didn’t matter: Now, let's talk about lying and I also had to write it down because I couldn't remember. The Washington Post indicates that President-elect Trump made false or misleading claims, a total of 30,573 times over four years. Just in August of 2024, NPR clocked him at 162 lies during a news conference. October 24th, CNN clocked him 40 separate lies in only two Pennsylvania speeches. So, if we want to talk about LYING, let's talk about THAT and stop this PEARL-CLUTCHING about Joe Biden lying! Fill-in host Rachel Lindsay demanded everyone “move on” from Biden’s pardon lies and focus on Trump instead. “I think that when it comes to what we need to be focusing on, we need to move on, we need to pick up the pieces from this election, and then think we need to regroup and focus on the next four years. I don't think we need to be worrying about the fact that he is pardoning Hunter Biden,” she said. The transcript is below.

And what's also been bothering me is, you know, ‘well, Joe Biden should have stuck to what he said. He should have stuck to his promise. He lied.’ Let's just take a little refresher course. I don't think that he was lying. Ana Navarro spoke to Joe Biden and he had every intention not to pardon his son, but once he realized that President-elect Trump is going to be on a revenge tour, there were changing circumstances.

Sanctuary policies across the United States may be in jeopardy after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on Tuesday that the federal government holds the authority to deport illegal aliens even when local authorities object.A panel of three judges unanimously sided with President-elect Donald Trump's administration in a lawsuit against King County, Washington, and county executive Dow Constantine.'A huge win.'At the center of the complaint was Constantine's April 2019 executive order that prohibited Boeing Field, the county's international airport, from being used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to facilitate deportations.The executive order highlighted the sanctuary county's commitment to shielding immigrants and refugees from federal immigration officials.It read, "Effective policies have been put in place to guarantee that King County does not partner nor collaborate with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, demonstrated by King County's refusal to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention detainers without a valid court order with regard to its correctional facilities."The order stated that the county learned in 2018 that "aircraft operated by charter operators were providing services" to ICE and utilizing the airport "as a location for transportation of immigration detainees."It called the practices "deeply troubling," claiming that it "could lead to human rights abuses."As a result of Constantine's executive order, ICE relocated its operations, forcing the agency to increase its costs.Trump's administration filed a lawsuit, arguing that the order violated the Supremacy Clause's intergovernmental immunity doctrine and the Instrument of Transfer agreement.The district court previously sided with Trump, and King County moved to appeal the ruling to the Ninth Circuit. However, the appeals court upheld the lower court's ruling.The Ninth Circuit panel found that Trump's administration had "two related concrete and individualized injuries.""The United States' inability to conduct the charter flights — which has increased ICE's operational costs — constituted a de facto injury that affected the United States in a particularized, individual way. The United States also faced an imminent risk of future injury from the Executive Order," the filing read.The court found that the "injuries were fairly traceable" to Constantine's order, noting that ICE charter flights would likely have resumed in its absence. The Ninth Circuit further held that the order "improperly regulated the way in which the federal government transported noncitizen detainees by preventing ICE from using private FBO [fixed base operator] contractors at Boeing Field, and on its face discriminated against the United States by singling out the federal government and its contractors for unfavorable treatment."Tom Homan, Trump's incoming border czar, called the appeals court's rulings "a huge win" for the administration's mass deportation plan.Like Blaze News?

President-elect Trump nominated Florida Sheriff Chad Chronister on Sunday to head the Drug Enforcement Administration, prompting backlash from several Republicans. Chronister was criticized for his handling of the COVID pandemic, which Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) called "disqualifying." Most notably, Chronister boasted at the time about arresting a local pastor who "intentionally and repeatedly disregarded" state and local COVID regulations by holding church services. Chronister has also come under fire for celebrating Pride Month, releasing 165 inmates due to social distancing regulations, encouraging social distancing on boats, and even withholding paid sick leave for deputies who were unvaccinated."I’m going to call 'em like I see 'em," Massie said in a Sunday post on X. "Trump’s nominee for head of DEA should be disqualified for ordering the arrest a pastor who defied COVID lockdowns.""Trump’s pick for DEA head, Chad Chronister, arrested pastors during COVID and let criminals out of jail," Liz Wheeler, host of "The Liz Wheeler Show" on BlazeTV, said in a Sunday post on X. "Mr. President, please withdraw his nomination. The last thing we need in federal law enforcement is a stupid power abuser."Chad Chronister is a COVID tyrant who arrested a Christian pastor for holding church in person during the pandemic.Chronister held a press conference bragging about the arrest.Chronister abused his power; he’s unfit to lead the DEA.Trump should withdraw his nomination. pic.twitter.com/8jXtoPIX8q— Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) December 1, 2024 Chronister has also come under fire for celebrating Pride Month, releasing 165 inmates due to social distancing regulations, encouraging social distancing on boats, and even withholding paid sick leave for deputies who were unvaccinated."Trump’s pick for DEA head Chad Chronister withheld taxpayer money from unvaccinated deputies if they got sick," Wheeler said in a Sunday post on X. "He gave taxpayer money to vaxxed deputies. Despicable.""Please, Pres. Trump, withdraw this nomination," Wheeler continued. "The last thing we need in federal law enforcement is more tyranny."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A member of the popular 1970s band the Village People is grateful to President-elect Donald Trump for making the group's classic tune "Y.M.C.A." great again.In a lengthy Facebook post on Monday, 73-year-old Victor Willis — the self-described "singer and writer of the lyrics" for "Y.M.C.A." — claimed that he has "benefited greatly" from Trump's use of the song at his campaign rallies."Y.M.C.A. was stuck at #2 on the Billboard chart prior to the President Elect’s use," Willis wrote. "However, the song finally made it to #1 on a Billboard chart after over 45 years (and held on to #1 for two weeks) due to the President Elect’s use."Willis added that the "financial benefits" have been nice too, claiming that the song has grossed "several million dollars" since Trump began playing it.'I’m glad I allowed the President Elect’s continued use of Y.M.C.A. And I thank him for choosing to use my song.'Willis was not always fond of Trump using the song. Four years ago, Willis asked him to stop, claiming that the complaints he had received about the song's use during Trump events had become a "nuisance."However, there were some complications associated with asking Trump to cease using the song. For one thing, Willis admitted, the Trump campaign had "every right" to continue playing the song at rallies, despite Willis' misgivings, because it had "obtained a political use license from BMI," a performance rights organization.Additionally, Willis' view on the subject began to soften after he realized that Trump seemed "to genuinely like Y.M.C.A." and was "having a lot of fun with it," he said. At that point, Willis said he "didn’t have the heart to prevent" Trump from continuing to use the song, especially since so many other artists had withdrawn their works from his rally playlists.Now that "Y.M.C.A." has become a hit once again on account of Trump's rallies and iconic dance moves, Willis, who supported Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, has fully changed his tune. "I’m glad I allowed the President Elect’s continued use of Y.M.C.A. And I thank him for choosing to use my song," he wrote.In his post, Willis also took issue with people calling "Y.M.C.A." a "gay anthem," calling that label "misguided" and even "defamatory." Though Willis acknowledged that some members of the Village People are gay and that gay men may have met up at their local Y to engage in unsavory "activities," the song was never about gay people or a gay lifestyle."When I say, 'hang out with all the boys' that is simply 1970s black slang for black guys hanging-out together for sports, gambling or whatever. There’s nothing gay about that," he explained."Get your minds out of the gutter."Willis, who has been married to his second wife for 17 years, even threatened to take legal action against any outlet that refers to "Y.M.C.A." as a "gay anthem," beginning next month. He believes that, if anything, "Y.M.C.A." is popular because of its "appeal to people of all [stripes] including President Elect Trump."Like Blaze News?

The NFL released a fiery statement against a Houston Texans player who caused a concussion and then blamed Islamophobia and racism for some of the outrage over the hit. Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair crashed into Trevor Lawrence as the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback began to slide after a running play in the second quarter of the game Sunday. Lawrence's head slammed into the ground, and he immediately exhibited what appeared to be an involuntary "fencing posture" indicating a traumatic brain injury. 'Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it, is troubling.' The injury to Lawrence led to a large brawl between Texans and Jaguars players on the field. Lawrence was diagnosed with a concussion and entered into concussion protocol. The team's coach said the team has not yet determined if the quarterback would return for any games or just sit out the rest of the season if he clears the protocol before season's end. On Tuesday Jon Runyan, the vice president of policy and rules administration for the NFL, issued a letter condemning Al-Shaair for several violations of player safety rules. "Video shows you striking the head/neck area of Jaguars' quarterback Trevor Lawrence after he clearly goes down in a feet-first slide," Runyan wrote. "You led with your forearm and helmet and delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of your opponent when you had time and space to avoid such contact." In an attempt to lessen the chances of brain injuries occurring, the NFL forbids players from hitting quarterbacks while they are running if they slide to stop and also forbids unnecessary hits to the head. Some have criticized the new rules as too restrictive and difficult for defenders to observe. "Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it, is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NFL," Runyan added. 'You don’t know my heart nor my character which I don’t need to prove to any of you.' On Monday, Al-Shaair released a statement apologizing to Lawrence and saying he did not intend to harm him. "I've always played the game as hard as I could. Never with the intent to harm anyone and anybody that knows me knows that. My goal is to hit you as hard as I can then I pray you're still able to get up and play the next play," he wrote. "I genuinely didn't see [Lawrence] sliding until it was too late," he added. "And it all happens in the blink of an eye. To Trevor i [sic] genuinely apologize to you for what ended up happening." He also criticized some fans for sending him what he said were racist and Islamophobic insults over the incident. "To the rest of the people who I’ve been called every single name in the book from reporters with their hands ready for a story to find their villain, to racist and Islamophobic fans and people, you don’t know my heart nor my character which I don’t need to prove to any of you," he added. "God knows my intentions and anyone who has been a teammate or friend of mine knows my heart."Al-Shaair had used the "My Cause, My Cleats" NFL charity campaign to show his support for Palestinians and to criticize Israel for its military operation in the Gaza Strip. "All Praise to Allah," he wrote. Lawrence also issued a brief statement on Sunday. "Thank you to everyone who has reached out / been praying for me. I’m home and feeling better. Means a lot, thank you all," he wrote. The Texans will face the Miami Dolphins, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Baltimore Ravens without Al-Shaair. Like Blaze News?
