"But the timing is suspect. Biden could have taken out the mullah’s atomic weapons program at any time during his watch. Instead, he’s thought about dumping a problem on Trump’s shoulders and escaping the responsibility that would come with such an operation. Should Biden follow through, it would not be done in the interest of national security but rather the spiteful act of a wretched man."

| "My word as a Biden" |
"Joe Biden’s first 46 months in the White House were an exercise in political vandalism, the effects of which the world will be dealing with for years. But it wasn’t enough for him. He’s accelerated his offensive on his way out. Inauguration Day can’t arrive soon enough.
"The candidate who ran in 2020 on restoring dignity to the office of the president is a small and petty man. This is not a revelation but a fact known since he “served” in the U.S. Senate and was especially evident when ran for president the first time, nearly four decades ago, dropping out after he could no longer cover his serial lies, blatant plagiarism and the vicious side of his personality.
"So it’s not in the least surprising that he would try to burn down the world around him as he moves toward the door. Following is a brief glimpse of Biden’s efforts to handicap the next president and add needless hassles and costs to the lives of everyday Americans.
Energy
"An executive order designed to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development along some yet undetermined coastlines is expected to be issued soon. The decree will be difficult for Donald Trump to reverse, as it “is rooted in a 72-year-old law that gives the White House wide discretion to permanently protect US waters from oil and gas leasing without explicitly empowering presidents to revoke the designations,” Bloomberg reports.
"It’s a red-hot poker in the eye of Trump, whose agenda includes U.S. energy dominance, and average Americans, whose wallets will be adversely affected by higher energy prices.
Biden is also “attempting to implement last-minute restrictions on oil and gas drilling,” says Fox News, pursuing a “20-year ban on oil and gas leases in 264,000 acres of Nevada’s Ruby Mountains.”
"The day after Christmas, Biden’s Energy Department adopted “conservation standards for gas-fired instantaneous water heaters” effectively outlawing a significant segment of that market in four to five years.
"Another “December surprise” intended to undermine Trump’s reasonable and rational energy policy was the administration’s “ambitious new climate target under the Paris Agreement” that mandates slashing “greenhouse gas emissions by 61% to 66% below 2005 levels by 2035.”
"Charles Rotter at Watts Up With That? called it “a final act of defiance before Trump takes the reins and charts a radically different course.”
"Foreign Policy
"Matthew Petti of Reason suggests that Biden has considered leaving “a very big mess on President-elect Donald Trump’s desk” by bombing Iran’s nuclear sites before his term is over. Not that doing so would be such a terrible idea. A nuclear-armed Islamist regime poses a grave danger." . . .
Trump Spokeswoman Slams Biden’s Last-Minute Ban on Offshore Drilling: ‘Revenge on the American People’ . . ."Leavitt, speaking for the Trump transition team, criticized President Biden's decision to ban future offshore oil drilling, calling it a "disgraceful decision" intended as revenge against those who voted for Trump's plan to lower prices at the pump.
" 'This is a disgraceful decision designed to exact political revenge on the American people who gave President Trump a mandate to increase drilling and lower gas prices," she said in a statement this morning.
"Leavitt predicted that Biden's lame-duck efforts would be unsuccessful.
" 'Rest assured, Joe Biden will fail, and we will drill, baby, drill," she added." . . .
