President Donald Trump announced on Friday that former President Joe Biden’s security clearance and access to classified information has been revoked “immediately” revoked.

“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearance, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday.

“He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents. The Hunter Report revealed that Biden suffers from ‘poor memory’ and, even in his ‘prime,’ could not be trusted with sensitive information. I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he continued.

Trump referenced Biden previously revoking his intelligence briefings following Trump’s first term in office, as Biden stated at the time, “I just think that there is no need for him to have the intelligence briefings.”

“What value is giving him an intelligence briefing? What impact does he have at all, other than the fact that he might slip and say something?”

Additionally, Trump referenced the Hur Report, which was investigated and submitted last February by Special Counsel Robert Hurd. The report was in regard to Biden retaining classified information, which Hurst later testified in March that “pride and money” led the former president to hold on to the classified documents.

Hur’s findings also questioned Biden’s mental capacity as he reportedly had frequent memory lapses. Despite Hur’s findings, he did not recommend charges be brought against Biden, due to his poor mental state and insufficient evidence to hold the case up in court.

“I did not sanitize my explanation. Nor did I disparage the president unfairly,” Hur added.

Will Biden’s Pardons BACKFIRE? ~Why Fauci & Others Now MUST Testify!

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz tells Glenn that he would be “very upset” if he was one of the people Biden pardoned in his last few days in office. Members of Biden’s family, Dr. Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and January 6th Committee members all received preemptive pardons, allegedly to stop Trump from taking revenge on them. But Dershowitz argues that now, they look guilty and have lost their right to plead the 5th. If they’re subpoenaed before Congress, they MUST admit the truth. Dershowitz also reveals why Trump’s promise to end DEI was his favorite announcement of Day One. Plus, he explains why he’s “much more optimistic” about America than before and why he will “never” call Trump a convicted felon.

Josh Hawley RIPS INTO Biden’s Corrupt DOJ at Pam Bondi Hearing

Senator Josh Hawley calls out Merrick Garland and Joe Biden's weaponized Department of Justice during Pam Bondi's confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen. Hawley urged Bondi to clean up the DOJ, which she vowed to do when she becomes the new Attorney General.

HIGHLIGHTS: Pam Bondi DESTROYS Democrats at Confirmation Hearing

Pam Bondi entered her confirmation hearing exceptionally well prepared, showcasing an unbreakable focus on the mission of leading a politically neutral Department of Justice. Despite her emphasis on policies and commitment to serving the American people, some Democrats chose to target her character with personal attacks rather than engaging with her qualifications or vision. Bondi’s extensive pre-hearing outreach, including private meetings with nearly every member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, demonstrated her strategic and thoughtful approach to the confirmation process. Her unshakable composure during the hearing underscored her determination to rise above partisan bickering. Such tactics from Democrats risk overshadowing the critical conversation about justice and effective governance for the nation.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he will be defying federal orders by ordering all flags in the Lone Star State to be flown at full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Abbott’s (R-Texas) announcement follows President Joe Biden’s directive for American flags to be flown at half-staff in order to honor former President Jimmy Carter’s death “for thirty days,” which happens to coincide with Trump’s inauguration on January 20th.

“Inauguration Day is a day of celebration for America. Today, I ordered flags raised to full-staff at the Texas Capitol & state buildings for President Trump’s inauguration,” Abbott wrote in an X post.

“While we honor President Carter’s service, we also celebrate an incoming President & our bright future,” he added.

Former President Carter passed away on December 29th at his Georgia estate, prompting Biden to declare that “the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its territories and possessions for a period of 30 days from the day of his death.”

The federal order from Biden marks the first time that American flags have been flown at half-staff during Inauguration Day, prompting criticism from Trump.

“The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ over our magnificent American Flag potentially being at ‘half mast’ during my Inauguration,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves.”

“Look at what they’ve done to our once GREAT America over the past four years – it’s a total mess! In any event, because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half mast. Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump added.

In response, White House Press Secretary Jean-Pierre firmly stated “no,” when asked if Biden would reconsider flying the flags at half-staff on Inauguration Day.

Joe Biden Announces Major Offshore Drilling Ban Across 625M Acres Of Federal Waters Ahead Of Trump Admin.

9:32 AM – Monday, January 6, 2025

President Joe Biden announced an executive action on Monday that bans new drilling and further oil and natural gas development on more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters. 

Biden stated that he is using his power to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing. 

He used the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, which means that President-elect Donald Trump would be limited in his ability to revoke the action made by Biden. Congress would have to possibly intervene to grant Trump the authority to overturn it. 

“My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses, and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation’s energy needs,” Biden said in a statement. “It is not worth the risks. As the climate crisis continues to threaten communities across the country as we transition to a clean energy economy, now is the time to protect these coasts for our children and grandchildren.” 

The move garnered quick condemnation from Trump’s incoming White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. 

“This is a disgraceful decision designed to exact political revenge on the American people who gave President Trump a mandate to increase drilling and lower gas prices. Rest assured, Joe Biden will fail and we will drill, baby, drill,” Leavitt wrote on X. 

Biden gave himself credit for what he called a legacy move in the fight against climate change. 

“From Day One, I have delivered on the most ambitious climate and conservation agenda in our country’s history. And over the last four years, I have conserved more than 670 million acres of America’s lands and waters, more than any other president in history,” Biden said. “Our country’s remarkable conservation and restoration progress has been locally led by Tribes, farmers and ranchers, fishermen, small businesses, and outdoor recreation enthusiasts across the country. Together, our ‘America the Beautiful’ initiative put the United States on track to meet my ambitious goal to conserve at least 30 percent of our Nation’s lands and waters by 2030.”  

“We do not have to choose between protecting the environment and growing our economy, or between keeping our oceans healthy, our coastlines resilient, and the food they produce secure, and keeping energy prices low,” the statement added. “Those are false choices. Protecting America’s coasts and oceans is the right thing to do, and will help communities and the economy flourish for generations to come.”

Ron Neal, chairman of the Independent Petroleum Association of America’s Offshore Committee, also slammed Biden’s last-ditch offshore drilling ban as “significant and catastrophic.” 

“While it may not directly affect the currently active production areas in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and adjoining coastal areas, it represents a major attack on the oil and natural gas industry. This should be seen as the ‘elephant’s nose under the tent.’ The ban severely limits the potential for exploration and development in new areas, therefore choking the long-term survivability of the industry,” Neal, also the president of Houston Energy LP and CEO of HEQ Deepwater, said in a statement. “This move is a first step towards more extensive restrictions across our industry in all U.S. basins, including the onshore. If the activists are coming for anything, they are coming for everything. This policy is catastrophic for the development of new areas for oil and natural gas, but environmentalists will eventually look to also shut down offshore wind farms for most of the same reasons. President Biden and his allies continue to push anti-energy policies that will hurt Americans.” 

Throughout his 2024 campaign, Trump has vowed to deliver American “energy dominance” on the world stage as he looked toward bolstering U.S. oil and gas drilling, as well as distance from Biden’s prioritization of climate change initiatives.

On Saturday, the president presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to individuals he believes have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values or security of the United States, world peace or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.

The 19 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom are listed below.

Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson (R-La.) stated that it is a “disgrace” that Biden was spending his final weeks at the White House celebrating politicians that tried and failed to take down President-elect Donald Trump.
