An alleged Omaha, Nebraska, gang member who was given a get-out-of-jail card by former President Joe Biden has been arrested after less than five months of freedom.

On Jan. 17, Biden commuted Khyre Holbert’s 20-year sentence to 100 months, according to a federal list of the pardons and commutations.

Holbert is now facing a federal charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm in connection with an Oct. 4 shooting in Omaha that injured a 28-year-old man, according to WOWT-TV.

Holbert also faces local charges of first-degree assault, using a firearm to commit a felony, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

A criminal complaint alleged that Holbert tried to get rid of the gun, upon which his fingerprints were found.

Holbert had a substantial record even before his 2018 sentencing on charges that included being a felon in possession of a firearm and distributing crack cocaine, according to National Review.

He was charged in 2010 with carrying a concealed weapon and possessing an unregistered firearm. At the time, he was a minor and was sentenced for one year.

In 2012, Holbert was convicted of a felony for having a gun and was sentenced for three years.

Officials said he is a member of a violent gang in Omaha.

According to the Justice Department, “the gun used in the Omaha shooting was found to have been discharged in two other separate criminal incidents that occurred in Omaha, including a homicide that occurred on June 22, 2025, and a felony assault in which several unknown assailants shot at a man in his vehicle on June 23, 2025.”

Holbert had been released from federal prison in May and began three years of probation on May 30.

A Justice Department statement noted that at the time Biden commuted Holbert’s sentence, “the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska objected to the grant of clemency due to Holbert’s gang affiliation and significant criminal history, along with the nature of his criminal convictions in that case, which included possessing firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking.  Clemency was ordered over that objection,” according to KSID-TV.

“Khyre Holbert should never have been prematurely released from federal prison and been free to participate in this violence,” United States Attorney for the District of Nebraska Lesley Woods said.

“The Biden Administration’s last-minute commutations were not only a cruel blow to victims’ families, but also a fundamental failure to hold criminals accountable. This tragic case proves that crime must be met with consequences, not weakness. Our prosecutors in Nebraska are doing the job that the prior administration refused to do,” Attorney General Pam Bondi remarked.

A House panel investigating pardons issued by the Biden White House while autopen usage was running rampant has said all such documents should be invalid and is calling for the Department of Justice to review who signed documents for possible criminal actions.

The panel issued a report entitled “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House” that exposes “how President Joe Biden’s top advisors, political operatives, and personal physician concealed the President’s mental and physical decline from the American people,” according to a news release from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

The release said that as “President Biden’s condition deteriorated, his aides exercised presidential authority and facilitated executive actions without his direct authorization, including misusing the autopen and failing to properly document decision-making processes.”

Trump orders the Department of War to resume nuclear testing to keep pace with China and Russia. Democrats, of course, are worried nuclear testing will upset Putin. The threat of nuclear war is growing whether the U.S. increases testing or not, because Russia has changed its nuclear weapons use threshold since the Ukraine war began, and that threshold has already been exceeded.

On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, President Trump announced he had instructed the Pentagon to “immediately” resume nuclear weapons testing “on an equal basis” with other nations, ending a U.S. moratorium that began in 1992 Al JazeeraNBC News. The announcement came just before his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea NBC News.

It remains unclear whether Trump meant actual nuclear explosive tests or tests of nuclear-capable delivery systems. A Congressional Research Service report from August indicates it would take 24 to 36 months for the U.S. to conduct a nuclear test after the order is given CNN.

Trump’s reasoning was that other countries, namely Russia and China, have been testing, and he wants to maintain nuclear parity with these nations. The announcement followed Putin’s recent tests of the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile and the Poseidon nuclear-powered underwater drone.

The United States currently stands as the world’s number one military power but the number two nuclear power, led by Russia and trailed by China. According to the Arms Control Association and the Federation of American Scientists, Russia possesses approximately 5,459 nuclear weapons, compared to 5,177 for the U.S. and 600 for China.

According to the November 2024 Nuclear Employment Strategy report, the United States now faces multiple nuclear competitors. Russia poses the most acute threat with its large, modern, and diversified arsenal; China is rapidly expanding and modernizing its forces with an emerging nuclear triad; and North Korea continues to build its capabilities.

The 2022 Nuclear Posture Review affirms that the fundamental role of U.S. nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear attacks against the United States, its allies, and partners. Nuclear use would only be considered in extreme circumstances to defend vital national or allied interests. The strategy emphasizes tailored deterrence with flexible capabilities, directing that the U.S. must be able to deter Russia, China, and North Korea simultaneously in peacetime, crisis, and conflict.

To achieve this, the United States maintains its nuclear triad, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and strategic bombers, alongside dual-capable fighter aircraft. ICBMs remain on day-to-day alert, while a portion of ballistic missile submarines continuously patrol at sea. The guidance further underscores the importance of keeping a human “in the loop” for all critical actions and presidential decision-making.

Since 1992, the U.S. has observed a voluntary moratorium on nuclear explosive testing, maintaining readiness at the Nevada National Security Site through the Science-Based Stockpile Stewardship Program, which ensures arsenal reliability without detonations. Although both the Trump and Biden administrations reaffirmed the moratorium, discussions periodically arise about resuming testing amid renewed competition with Russia and China.

From 1945 to 1992, the United States conducted 1,054 nuclear tests, most at the Nevada site. It remains bound by the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty (banning atmospheric, underwater, and space tests) and the 1974 Threshold Test Ban Treaty (limiting underground tests to under 150 kilotons). The 1992 Hatfield-Exon-Mitchell Amendment prohibited U.S. underground tests after 1996 unless another nation resumed testing. Although several nations have since done so, Washington continues to observe the moratorium.

The U.S. signed but never ratified the 1996 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), which has yet to enter into force. Russia revoked its ratification in 2023, while China, the U.S., and others have not ratified. Nevertheless, the United States continues to honor its commitment to refrain from nuclear testing.

Russia’s nuclear doctrine, officially titled “Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence,” was last updated on November 19, 2024, replacing the 2020 version. The document defines the conditions under which Russia may use nuclear weapons and is binding for all government bodies.

In a September 2024 statement previewing the update, Vladimir Putin explained that the revised doctrine now treats aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, if supported by a nuclear state, as a joint attack by both nations.

The doctrine specifies that Russia may consider a nuclear response upon receiving reliable information about a massive launch of air or space attack weapons, including strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, UAVs, hypersonic weapons, and other aerial systems, crossing its borders.

The 2024 revision significantly lowers the threshold for nuclear use. The 2020 version limited nuclear response to situations in which “the very existence of the state is at risk.” The new language permits nuclear use “in the event of aggression creating a critical threat to the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Russia and Belarus.”

It explicitly extends the Russian nuclear umbrella to Belarus, with Putin stating: “We reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Russia and Belarus as members of the Union State.”

The doctrine emphasizes safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of both states. However, it does not clarify what “territorial integrity” includes. Given that Moscow considers Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson as Russian territory, these annexed regions are theoretically protected under the new threshold.

Analysts view the 2024 doctrine as part of an orchestrated effort to deter attacks on Russian or occupied territory using Western-supplied weapons. Yet, despite Ukraine’s continued strikes inside Russia and in occupied regions, no nuclear response has been triggered. This suggests that Moscow’s lowered nuclear threshold may function more as a psychological deterrent, a scare tactic, than an operational policy.

Ukraine has repeatedly launching attacks inside Russia and in Russian-occupied territories without provoking a nuclear response. This suggests that Moscow’s decision to lower its nuclear threshold may have been intended primarily as a psychological deterrent, a scare tactic that has so far failed to alter the course of the war.

Meanwhile, in the United States, renewed discussion of nuclear testing has sparked sharp political debate. Advocates argue that resuming tests could strengthen deterrence, improve technical data, and enhance U.S. leverage in negotiations with Russia and China.

Opponents counter that such actions would risk igniting a new arms race, undermine global nonproliferation norms, and endanger public health and the environment. Democrats swiftly condemned the idea, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the 30-year moratorium on nuclear testing.

Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada said it “directly contradicts the commitments I secured from Trump nominees,” who had assured her that explosive nuclear testing was unnecessary. Representative Dina Titus, also from Nevada, pledged to introduce legislation blocking any resumption of testing.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called the proposal “dangerous and reckless,” warning that it would revive a harmful chapter of U.S. history.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin continue to build their nuclear arsenals and test at will, facing no internal opposition.

President Trump on Friday evening responded to a judge’s ruling on SNAP benefits.

More than 40 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits, and the $5 billion emergency fund was not enough to cover the program for November.

Unions and nonprofit groups filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Agriculture earlier this week ahead of the November 1 cutoff.

Funds for the SNAP benefits are drying up because Schumer and the Democrats refuse to vote for the clean CR bill to reopen the government.

US District Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee, ordered Trump on Friday to use the emergency funds for the SNAP program.

A separate federal judge in Massachusetts ruled the USDA has the power to fund SNAP benefits.

Separately, Judge Indira Talwani, also an Obama appointee, stopped just short of issuing a Temporary Restraining Order and said she will hold a hearing on Monday.

President Trump said two courts issued conflicting opinions on how the SNAP benefits can be funded during the shutdown, so he instructed DOJ lawyers to ask the court to clarify how his administration can legally fund the program.

“Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do. I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT,” President Trump said on Truth Social.

“Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the Government closed through the monthly payment date and, even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out,” Trump said.

President Trump dropped Schumer’s office number!

“If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay. The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s Office Number: (202) 224-6542,” Trump added.

Someone on the left needs to explain to the rest of the country why it is that they are silent when American citizens lose their lives at the hands of illegals.

A man was beaten to death with a baseball bat and the suspect in custody is an illegal alien.

The left cares so much about Trump’s memes, edgy jokes, and private group chats but they are silent as our citizens are brutally murdered.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Another completely avoidable, terrifying crime by an illegal alien has occurred in America, thanks in no small part to Democrats.

WCNC Charlotte reported on Thursday that Catawba County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to an incident in their county around 9:15 p.m. Wednesday that involved disorderly conduct.

When they arrived, the victim, Jose Figueroa, was unconscious outside. Detectives later learned from witnesses that 51-year-old Roberto Hernandez Arreola was the party responsible for the savage beating.

WBTV revealed more details about the disturbing incident. It turns out Arreola was so filled with rage that he used a baseball bat to bash Figueroa in the skull several times.

Figueroa’s head was found completely crushed.

Arreola has been charged with murder and remains in jail under no bond. He has his first court appearance on Thursday.

The sheriff’s office contacted ICE after discovering that Arreola was in America illegally.

The investigation into the murder of Figueroa remains ongoing.

Every time that something like this happens the left is silent.

These horrors were completely avoidable.

The Biden administration imported tens of millions of illegal aliens totally unvetted and exposed Americans to unprecedented dangers.
