It notes that Biden has undertaken a significant clemency spree,\u2062 including the return of three Chinese prisoners\u2014two spies and a sex offender\u2014while also\u200b considering commuting\u2063 the death sentences of inmates\u200b on federal death row, many of whom \u2064committed violent crimes. <\/p>\n<p>The article raises concerns about the implications of such actions, questioning\u200d the categorization of these individuals as \u200c&#8221;non-violent&#8221; offenders \u200band highlighting the\u200d notoriety of some, including the Boston Marathon bomber and other mass murderers. It critiques biden\u2019s approach, suggesting it \u200dmay be politically motivated and inconsistent\u2064 with\u200c the principles that underpin his stated opposition to the \u2063death penalty. The narrative\u200c also references the \u200dpressure from religious and civil rights groups\u2062 advocating for\u2062 commutations, further complicating the moral and political dimensions of Biden\u2019s potential\u200b decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the article presents a critical view of Biden\u2019s clemency initiatives, suggesting that they may undermine judicial authority and raise ethical questions\u2062 regarding justice and punishment, especially for violent offenders. The piece closes with a reflection on his presidency and the apparent contradictions in his stances on moral\u200c issues, especially in\u200c relation to his Catholic faith.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s quickly review President Joe Biden&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">unprecedented lame-duck clemency free-<\/a>for-all, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>He&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/horrific-crimes-committed-criminals-biden-set-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sent<\/a> three Chinese prisoners back to their country of origin free men, including two spies and a child sex offender.<\/p>\n<p>He&rsquo;s gone on the biggest one-day clemency spree in presidential history, something he said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/12\/12\/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-providing-clemency-for-nearly-1500-individuals-on-home-confinement-and-pardons-for-39-individuals-convicted-of-non-violent-crimes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> was part of &ldquo;taking steps to remove sentencing disparities for non-violent offenders, especially those convicted of drug offenses.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Some of these &ldquo;non-violent&rdquo; offenders included a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/one-bidens-non-violent-pardons-turns-voodoo-practicing-triple-murderer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voodoo-practicing, husband-murdering<\/a> woman known as the &ldquo;Black Widow&rdquo; and a juvenile judge who sentenced 2,000 minors to time behind bars &mdash; not exactly known as a &ldquo;non-violent&rdquo; sorta place &mdash; in an infamous kickback scheme called &ldquo;Kids for Cash,&rdquo; a move that drew a rebuke from even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/scranton-finally-turning-biden-officials-demand-removal-name-landmark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">very Democratic governor of Pennsylvania<\/a>. (It makes one wonder &mdash; given the &ldquo;Black Widow&rdquo; has already killed three lovers for insurance money, should Biden and his handlers be charged on the nonzero chance she murders a fourth?)<\/p>\n<p>And now, as a final parting &ldquo;gift,&rdquo; he could be commuting the death sentences of those on death row &mdash; including some of the nation&rsquo;s most brutal and notorious criminals in America&rsquo;s federal prison system.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>According to a Friday report in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/us-news\/law\/biden-weighs-commuting-sentences-of-death-row-inmates-d24fcc15?st=8q8Jmn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, &ldquo;President Biden is considering commuting the sentences of most, if not all, of the 40 men on the federal government&rsquo;s death row, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would frustrate President-elect Donald Trump&rsquo;s ability to resume the rapid pace of executions that marked his first term.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;During his 2020 campaign, Biden listed abolition of the federal death penalty as a campaign plank, and over his term no executions have been carried out,&rdquo; the Journal noted.<\/p>\n<p>However, even Biden had to acknowledge that abolition of the federal death penalty would have been metaphorically suicidal &mdash; at least in the political sense &mdash; given who&rsquo;s on it.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Those who could see their death sentences commuted to life in prison include an ex-Marine who killed two young girls and later a female naval officer; a Las Vegas man convicted of kidnapping and killing a 12-year-old girl; a Chicago podiatrist who fatally shot a patient to keep her from testifying in a Medicare fraud investigation; and two men convicted in a kidnapping-for-ransom scheme that resulted in the killings of five Russian and Georgian immigrants,&rdquo; the Journal noted.<\/p>\n<p>And, if he were to commute&nbsp;<em>all<\/em> of the sentences of those on death row, this would include Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev; anti-Semitic synagogue mass shooter Robert Bowers, who killed 11 in Pittsburgh in 2018; and white supremacist mass shooter Dylann Roof, who murdered nine at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Those three are being considered as exceptions because the cases are terrorism- and\/or extremist-related.<\/p>\n<p>However, therein lies the problem with the logic here: The death penalty either is or isn&rsquo;t a just penalty. And President Biden&rsquo;s opposition to the death penalty has been framed in religious terms, with the &ldquo;devout Catholic&rdquo; label deployed one last time by Bidenistas as an excuse for the inexcusable.<\/p>\n<p>From the Journal, which still isn&rsquo;t known as a hive of pro-Biden sentiment: &ldquo;A broad coalition of religious and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-biden-finishes-first-year-on-an-epic-losing-streak\/\" title=\"Report: Biden Finishes First Year on an \u2018Epic Losing Streak\u2019\">civil-rights groups<\/a> has been pressing Biden to take the step, and the effort gained momentum earlier this month after Pope Francis, in his weekly address, prayed for the commutation of America&rsquo;s condemned inmates,&rdquo; the report read.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If their death sentences were commuted, the prisoners, all convicted of murder, would serve life without parole. Biden, a devout Catholic, spoke with Francis on Thursday and is scheduled to meet with him at the Vatican next month, the White House said.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s all forget the fact that, as a baptized Roman Catholic myself, I&rsquo;ll be more than happy when Jan. 20 rolls around and I can stop reminding people there&rsquo;s a difference between a&nbsp;<em>devout<\/em> Catholic and a&nbsp;<em>diligent<\/em> Catholic. (Diligence I&rsquo;m more than willing to spot Biden, if just for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tim-graham-democrat-hypocrites-stoke-fear-acbs-rosary-happily-praise-bidens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his canny religious performativity<\/a>. Devoutness in the Catholic faith is more difficult to ascribe to a man who spent the entirety of his administration making it a policy priority to increase the ease with which mothers could kill the unborn, however.)<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, though: If this is about Catholicism and the moral correctness of the death penalty, it&rsquo;s a yes or no.<\/p>\n<p>If Biden and his people draw the line somewhere, it&rsquo;s entirely a matter of policy preferences; there&rsquo;s nothing in the Bible or Vatican catechism which states that the powers and principalities of earth are entitled to treat the life and punishment of a man who murders individuals out of cold blood because they are a psychopath any differently than they are to treat the life and punishment of a man who murders out of cold blood because of a twisted ideology.<\/p>\n<p>And, indeed, as much as the White House might want to frame this in the warm blanket of left-Catholic social justice, it appears that Attorney General Merrick Garland recommended the exceptions. One has never accused the attorney general of devotion to anything <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ag-merrick-garland-announces-end-biden-classified-documents-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">but his own situational ethics<\/a>, which kind of throws that one out the window.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It would mean that progressive politics is more important to the president than the lives taken by these murderers,&rdquo; said Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, the GOP&rsquo;s outgoing minority leader, in a speech from the Senate floor on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It would mean that society&rsquo;s most forceful condemnation of white supremacy and anti-Semitism must give way to legal mumbo jumbo,&rdquo; he added, referencing Biden&rsquo;s language about &ldquo;sentencing disparities.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting, too, that this debate comes as Biden&rsquo;s own Department of Justice is pursuing charges that could entail the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, in a crime purportedly motivated by an animus against capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&rsquo;s handlers are probably happy to punt on that one, given the sick nature of the murder but also the sick hero-worship that the left has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/insane-democratic-senator-gets-massive-backlash-siding-ceo-murder-suspect-new-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poured out upon the alleged assassin<\/a>. But then, why even&nbsp;<em>pursue<\/em> it when New York state &mdash; where Mangione would be tried without the federal charges &mdash; doesn&rsquo;t even have the death penalty? Is this to say that Biden isn&rsquo;t even in charge anymore? (Please keep a straight face with that rhetorical question, farcical though the answer may be; this is quite literally a situation of life and death.)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the other possibility is more appalling:<\/p>\n<p>These kiddie murderers and terrorists may get to live out long lives.

He has released three Chinese prisoners, including two spies and a child sex offender, back to their homeland as free individuals. This marks the largest single-day clemency initiative in presidential history, which he described as an effort to address sentencing disparities for non-violent offenders, particularly those convicted of drug-related crimes. However, some of these so-called &#8220;non-violent&#8221; offenders include a woman known as the &#8220;Black Widow,&#8221; who murdered her husbands for insurance money, and a juvenile judge involved in a notorious kickback scheme that sentenced thousands of minors to incarceration\u2014hardly fitting the label of &#8220;non-violent.&#8221; Now, as parting actions from his presidency, he may also commute death sentences for individuals on death row\u2014including some of the most infamous criminals in federal prisons.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s report on Friday, Biden is contemplating commuting sentences for most or all of the 40 men currently on federal death row. This decision could hinder President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s plans to resume executions at the pace seen during his first term. During his 2020 campaign, Biden advocated for abolishing the federal death penalty and has not overseen any executions throughout his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Biden recognizes that abolishing capital punishment would be politically risky given those awaiting execution. Potential candidates for commutation include an ex-Marine who killed two young girls and later murdered a female naval officer; a man from Las Vegas convicted of kidnapping and killing a 12-year-old girl; and others involved in heinous crimes like murder-for-hire schemes.<\/p>\n<p>If all death row sentences were commuted under this plan, it would also encompass high-profile cases such as Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev; Robert Bowers, who killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue; and Dylann Roof, responsible for nine deaths at Charleston\u2019s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. These cases are being considered separately due to their ties to terrorism or extremist ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>The underlying issue here is whether capital punishment is justifiable or not\u2014a binary question that should not be influenced by political considerations or personal beliefs about morality rooted in religion. While various religious groups have urged Biden towards this course following Pope Francis&#8217; recent prayers advocating for condemned inmates&#8217; commutation\u2014Biden himself identifies strongly with Catholicism\u2014the moral implications remain complex.<\/p>\n<p>As discussions unfold regarding potential charges against Luigi Mangione\u2014accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson amid alleged anti-capitalist motives\u2014it raises questions about consistency within Biden&#8217;s administration regarding capital punishment policies when state laws differ significantly from federal ones.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately though troubling possibilities loom: these violent offenders might evade execution altogether while families affected by their crimes face further anguish over potential leniency shown by our outgoing president\u2014a situation rife with hypocrisy given claims surrounding moral integrity associated with faith-based arguments against capital punishment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2382963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Biden-11.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3620,47283,27310,33010,41075],"class_list":["post-2382962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-biden","tag-child-murderers","tag-commutation","tag-criminal-justice","tag-high-profile-cases"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Biden-11.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2382962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2382962"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2382962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2382966,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2382962\/revisions\/2382966"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2382963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2382962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2382962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2382962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
