President Donald Trump is pushing hard against the boundaries of what the media can absorb. In a Truth Social post earlier today, President Trump notes that any document signed by autopen without the cognitive affirmation of Joe Biden is nulled. This could have serious ramifications; however, I’m not sure how it could be enforced. President […]

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he will no longer consider documents signed by President Joe Biden with an autopen valid, and threatened Biden with “perjury” charges if he said he was aware of autopen signings.

“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United
States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him,” the president added.

Biden has previously rejected Trump’s accusations of the autopen being used without his awareness.

“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” he said in a June statement.

Trump also wrote he was “cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally.”

“Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury,” the president added.

Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, praised Trump’s move, saying in a statement that “the Biden Autopen Presidency is one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history.”

“Americans witnessed President Biden’s decline with their own eyes, Biden’s inner circle sought to deceive the public, conceal his condition, and take unauthorized executive actions using the autopen—actions that are now invalid,” the Kentucky Republican added in a statement.

In an October report, the House Oversight Committee examined whether Biden had appropriately used the autopen, drawing on interviews with former White House staffers.

The report found that “Biden allegedly made some executive decisions verbally, and without
documentation indicating that they came from the president himself or that he understood
the decisions completely,” and that “[s]enior White House officials did not know who operated the autopen and its use was not sufficiently controlled or documented to prevent abuse.”

“The Biden White House’s process of ascertaining the president’s approval for decisions
and use of the autopen was inconsistent, poorly documented, and vulnerable to abuse,” stated the report.

The House Oversight Committee called on the Justice Department to further investigate “all of former President Biden’s executive actions, particularly clemency actions, to assess whether legal action must be taken to void any action that the former president did not, in fact, take himself.”

Rep. Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, denounced the report and said Republicans had conducted a “sham investigation” in an October statement.

“Despite this sham investigation, every White House official testified President Biden fully executed his duties as President of the United States. The testimonies also make it clear the former President authorized every executive order, pardon, and use of the autopen,” said Garcia, D-Calif.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who recently announced she would resign in January, wrote in a X post, “If Autopen Pardons are repealed then prosecute [former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony] Fauci for crimes against humanity.”

The Oversight Project, which first surfaced the Biden White House’s autopen usage in a March report, praised the president’s decision in a X post.

Stephanie Dilyard is lucky to be alive.

Yet last week, 7-Eleven fired the 25-year-old after she used her gun to save her own life. Private companies have every right to set rules for employee behavior, but many corporate policies that require workers to remain passive and comply with criminals’ demands rest on a deeply mistaken view of crime data.

“He threatened me,” Dilyard told Fox 25 in Oklahoma City. “[A]nd said he was gonna slice my head off, and that’s when I tried to call the police. He started throwing things at me, came behind the counter. I tried to run off, but he grabbed his hands around my neck, and pushed me out of the counter space, and that’s when I pulled out my gun and I shot him.”

“I had to choose between my job and my life,” she said. “And I will always choose my life because people depend on me. My kids need me here.”

She survived with wounds to her neck and hands–injuries that could have been far worse.

Her attacker, 59-year-old Kenneth Thompson, already had an outstanding felony warrant for a parole violation. For his latest crimes, prosecutors have charged him with assault and battery, threatening acts of violence, and attempting to pass a fake bill.

For more than two years, Dilyard worked the dangerous 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift alone. Despite those conditions, 7-Eleven insisted she use only “store items” to defend herself.

Unfortunately, while some in the media and many businesses may concede that passive behavior by store clerks might encourage more crime, they believe that passive behavior is still the safest course of action.

In Dilyard’s case, however, passive behavior likely would have gotten her killed. And while there is a kernel of truth behind the advice to remain passive when confronted by a criminal, the claim is highly misleading. Data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey shows that passive behavior appears slightly safer than all forms of active resistance combined–but that comparison lumps together very different actions.

For women, the most dangerous form of resistance is to fight with their fists, because doing so often triggers a violent physical reaction from the attacker. The next most dangerous choice is to run. Escaping is ideal when possible, but women generally run more slowly than men, and being tackled can produce serious injury. Other options such as using a baseball bat or a knife turn out not to be a lot better because women are at a disadvantage whenever they come into physical contact with a male attacker.

By contrast, the safest option for a woman confronted by a criminal is to have a gun. Women who rely on passive behavior are 2.5 times more likely to suffer serious injury than women who defend themselves with a firearm.

Criminals are almost always men, and when a man is attacking a woman there is on average a much larger strength difference than when a man is attacking another man. The presence of a gun represents a much bigger relative change in a woman’s ability to protect herself than it does for a man. Firearms act as a powerful equalizer between the sexes.

Murder rates fall when either men or women carry concealed handguns, but the reduction is especially large for women. Each additional woman with a concealed-carry permit lowers the female murder rate by roughly three to four times more than each additional male permit holder lowers the male murder rate. States that allowed women to carry concealed handguns on a nondiscretionary basis also experience about 25% fewer rapes than states that restrict or forbid concealed carry.

Police are extremely important in stopping crime, but the police can’t be there all the time. The police themselves understand that they virtually always arrive on the crime scene after the crime has occurred.

And that raises a real question: What should people do when they’re having to confront a criminal by themselves? As Dilyard learned the hard way, people ultimately must take responsibility for their own safety–and for women, carrying a gun is the safest option.

Fortunately, Dilyard’s children still have their mother.
