Bad Time to Be a Bad Guy

It’s been a bad stretch for bad guys. And I mean really bad.

In just a few weeks, President Trump has taken out an ISIS leader, ordered a relentless offensive against the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea, and sent the ruthless TDA gang packing back to Venezuela. And in true Trumpian fashion, he’s doing it all while the media hyperventilates over the "mean tweets" and pearl-clutching elites whine about decorum. But here's the reality: Trump is proving once again that justice isn't just a theoretical concept—it’s a hammer, and he’s swinging it hard.

That brings us to an interesting twist: his recent social media post reversing fraudulent pardons allegedly issued by the January 6 Select Committee. Some in the establishment are screeching, and this is an unprecedented overreach. But let’s cut through the noise: if those pardons were fraudulently issued, President Trump has every legal and moral right to revoke them and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Because if there’s one thing we’re learning right now, it’s that Trump doesn’t play patty-cake with bad actors—whether they’re terrorists, criminal gangs, or corrupt bureaucrats.

The elimination of an ISIS leader is a textbook case of decisive action. While the Biden administration preferred to "manage" terrorism with strategic retreats and half-hearted condemnations, Trump has never been afraid to remind the world that evil men meet bad ends when America asserts its strength. There is no endless bureaucracy, no stalling—just intelligence, precision, and execution. The terrorists who wish to do harm to Americans now know there is nowhere safe to hide.

And then there’s the Houthis—one of Iran’s little terrorist pets—who have been terrorizing global shipping routes. Trump wasted no time in unleashing the might of the U.S. military, showing that piracy and terrorism will not be tolerated.

Meanwhile, the TDA gang—Venezuela’s most notorious export next to socialism—was swiftly deported. Under Biden, these gangsters were welcomed into our communities. Under Trump, they’re getting a one-way ticket home.

What do all these actions have in common? They are unapologetic exercises of presidential power to serve justice, protect Americans, and enforce the law.

So why should the January 6 Select Committee get a free pass if they engaged in fraudulent, potentially criminal behavior? If those pardons were forged, illegal, or issued under pretenses, why should they be treated any differently than a terrorist forging a passport or a criminal bribing their way into an escape hatch?

Presidential pardon powers rest exclusively with the president. Congress has no authority to issue pardons unilaterally. If fraudulent pardons were signed in some backroom deal, it is not only within Trump’s power to revoke them—it is his duty.

Remember, this was the same committee that doctored evidence, cherry-picked testimony and refused to allow any real cross-examination of witnesses. It wasn’t about truth—it was about a political hit job. And now, if evidence has surfaced that they attempted to pardon individuals to shield themselves or others from accountability illegally, that’s a crime.

And what does Trump do with criminals? He brings them to justice.

Legally speaking, fraudulent documents have zero standing. If a court rules that a contract was signed under fraud, it’s null and void. If a judge discovers that a pardon was forged, it carries no weight.

The courts have long recognized that fraud undermines the very foundation of legal authority. The Supreme Court has upheld that fraud vitiates everything it touches (United States v. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61). Fraudulent pardons would be no different.

Let’s not forget: the president, as head of the executive branch, has the full authority to oversee criminal investigations and prosecute bad actors. If Trump’s DOJ moves to investigate and a court finds that the Select Committee engaged in criminal conduct, its members could face far more than embarrassment.

Some people still don’t get it. They think Trump is erratic, unpredictable, or just out for revenge. But his actions show a clear and consistent principle: If you break the law, endanger Americans, or abuse power, justice is coming.

Terrorists? They get a missile.
Criminal gangs? They get deported.
Corrupt bureaucrats? They get indicted.

Justice doesn’t come with an asterisk. The law only works when it’s convenient for the political class. If the Select Committee committed fraud, its members should face the same hard justice as any other criminal.

So, if you’re a bad guy—whether you’re a terrorist in the desert, a gang member sneaking across the border, or a bureaucrat who thinks he’s above the law—now is a very bad time to be you.

Justice is coming. And Trump is delivering it, one takedown at a time.
