Can the President Pardon Himself?

Timothy Meads / Townhall Tipsheet

Today on ABC News “This Week,"  Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's confidante and lead attorney in the ongoing Russian investigation, was asked a peculiar question –does a sitting president have the power to pardon himself?

In short, Mayor Giuliani asserted that Trump would “probably” have that power, but "He has no intention of pardoning himself…. (but it is a) really interesting constitutional argument: 'Can the president pardon himself?'"

Giuliani added, "I think the political ramifications of that would be tough. Pardoning other people is one thing. Pardoning yourself is another. Other presidents have pardoned people in circumstances like this, both in their administration and sometimes the next president even of a different party will come along and pardon."

Under guise of “diversity,” de Blasio announces plans to destroy NYC’s top high schools

By Pamela Geller / THE GFELLER REPORT

Under the guise of “diversity,” evoking an Ayn-Randian euphemism:

Mayor Bill de Blasio is promising to push for diversity at our city’s elite high schools including Stuyvesant High School and the Bronx High School of Science.

He says 20 percent of the seats at specialized high schools, like Bronx High School of Science will be set aside for economically disadvantaged students starting in September 2019.

It isn’t enough that they have dumbed-down the curriculum and turned education into hard-left indoctrination.

It isn’t enough that a New York City school held a moment of prayer for jihad terrorists in Gaza. Now this.

 

If de Blasio really cared about minorities and the poor, why would he deny them school choice and charter schools? De Blasio has declared war on charter schools. This is the demonization of achievement and success, and the exaltation of failure as policy.

NYT Shell-Shocked By Historic Jobs Numbers: We Ran Out Of Words To Describe How Good It Is

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

The jobs numbers are great. In fact, they’re tremendous. They’re the most luxurious May numbers God has ever created. Okay—not really, but they’re solid; 223,000 jobs in May and black unemployment hit a record low. The overall unemployment rate is now at 3.8 percent, an 18-year low. In terms of white and black unemployment numbers, which are usually miles apart, they’ve never been closer. You can’t polish a turd. You can’t spin incontrovertibly good news. That’s what The New York Times admitted in their headline about these job numbers. They ran out of words synonymous with good concerning this news:

RNC Chair: We Want Assurances From Facebook, Twitter That They Won’t Suppress Conservatives

By Geller Report Staff

The chair of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, took to Fox News to explain that conservatives aren’t content any longer to sit back and take the censorship of political thought and speech from the likes of Facebook and Twitter.

And step one in the fight was to send a strongly worded letter to social media executives asking them to explain the censorship, and vow to discontinue it.

From Breitbart:

[O]n Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the RNC and the Trump 2020 campaign sent letters to Facebook and Twitter requesting answers about concerns that conservative content is being blocked.
