The 14th BEST President in History?   Victor Davis Hanson presents a critical examination of Joe Biden's presidency, questioning the narrative that positions him favorably in comparison to past leaders. Citing a recent survey placing Biden as the 14th best president, Hanson delves deep into the delusions surrounding Biden's perceived successes amid notable failures in critical areas such as the economy, border management, and foreign policy. With a candid assessment of Biden's mindset and the implications of how history may judge his tenure, this discussion challenges the prevalent narratives and asks the tough questions about what future generations may think of this administration. #JoeBiden #VictorDavisHanson #PresidentialHistory #PoliticalAnalysis #BidenCritique #History #USPolitics #Economy #ForeignPolicy

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces resignation after facing major political pressure

USA Today   "Trudeau under pressure to resign amid Trump reelection   Calls for Trudeau to step aside have grown since December amid a series of polls showing his Liberal Party being trounced in the next election due to voter anger over high prices and a housing crisis, Reuters reported.

"Trudeau has also faced a series of mounting crises, including the abrupt resignation of Canada's finance minister Chrystia Freeland and Trump's threat of imposing crippling tariffs when he takes office.

"The Canadian Broadcasting Corp said more than 50 Liberal members of parliament from Ontario − the most populous of the 10 provinces and the party's main stronghold − held a call Dec. 21 and agreed Trudeau had to step down.

"Trudeau has attempted damage control, even jetting out to West Palm Beach, Florida in late-November for a meeting with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate days after the president-elect vowed to enact a 25% tariff on all products coming into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico.

"Trudeau has often been at odds with Trump, who has mocked Trudeau as "governor" of Canada while repeatedly joking t-hat the nation should become the 51st U.S. state.". . .

THE LAST REFUGE posted in anticipation of Trudeau's resignation:  The bombshell report comes as an embattled Trudeau has faced increasing calls for his resignation as a Donald Trump presidency – and the threat of 25% tariffs on all products north of the border – looms large.

The prime minister was struck with a devastating blow after his then-finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, quit last month over a deepening divide between the two over the future of Canada’s economy. (read more)

"Justin from Canada has been an unstable boy-child with a speech impediment and an emotionally unstable disposition for a long time.  He personifies the leftist hero for modern feminists."

How low can Joe go?

How low can Joe go? Now he's forking out big civilian honors to Liz Cheney and her ilk  Britt Hume commented: This is repulsive. That investigation was done by a committee all of whose members were chosen by Nancy Pelosi, and was produced like a TV show. There was no cross examination of witnesses. The media fell for it, but it was utterly one-sided. A show trial.

"So enjoy your medal, Miss Cheney. I don't think that this is the last that you will hear about that corrupt committee that you were a part of." . . ."Yes, go to Biden now, accept his medal, you can’t refuse, you got nothing to lose and have to hang around with those who hated your family. How sad is that."

Liz Cheney Was an Electoral Fiasco for Kamala Harris | The Nation  ..." Unfortunately, while many Democratic tacticians were enthusiastic about Cheney’s jumping on board as a Harris backer, Republican voters couldn’t have cared less. The Cheney strategy was an abject failure that added few if any votes to the Democratic total, alienated voters who have no taste for the former GOP representative’s neocon extremism, and stole precious time from an agonizingly short campaign schedule." ...

Why Biden Is Carpet Bombing His Exit?

Kevin McCullough; Townhall 

. . ."Yet Team Biden, led by the big guy, are doing all they can to unleash chaos in the final stretch. They hope to create such a mess that a new administration (even stacked with door kickers at the head of every agency) will be consumed by the chaos. So much so that they can not implement the long term changes that are desperately needed."

 "Have you noticed? The guy is nuking everything on his way out the door!

"What is this fresh hell the Biden administration is leveling the country with? In every way possible, on every from he’s able, abusing as much power as he possibly can the current President of the United States is attempting to obliterate America.

"At the end of the very same week where at minimum two terrorist attacks were attempted on American soil, Biden decided to release a terrorist from Guantanamo Bay. 

"In a day where crime has exploded across our cities and violent crime taking human life, Biden commutes nearly all of the sentences of mass murders on death row.

"And at week’s end he awarded the most anti-American, anti-western, anti-Semite the infamous George Soros the Presidential Medal of Honor. 

"He’s literally rewarded terrorists, killers, and treason.

"He is unrepentant about opening the southern border and saying “ya’ll come.” And his minions in legacy media like Lawrence O’Donnell are out there pushing the theory that the real tie connecting heinous murderous terror pushing devils is the uniform of the U.S. Army instead of the fact that they get radicalized and change their names to something like “Jabbar.”

"Despite the fact that even Biden’s administration stopped more than a thousand people on the terror watch list while attempting to enter, democrats seem to believe that its service personnel are more likely to be terrorists than actual terrorists."

Biden Bans Oil and Gas Drilling in Federal Waters, Striking Final Blow against U.S. Energy on His Way Out   . . ."The move comes on the same day that Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris is set to be certified by Congress. Trump has vowed to increase oil and gas production on a simple three-word energy policy: “Drill, baby, drill.” Biden’s latest action, however, poses an obstacle to the incoming president’s energy plans.

"Asked about the ban during a Monday radio interview, Trump told host Hugh Hewitt he would “unban it immediately.”

“ 'It’s really our greatest economic asset,” Trump said." . . .

Here’s Why Joe Biden Gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros

"Activist groups bankrolled through Soros’ Open Society Foundations have worked to remake the federal government in the image of pink-haired college students steeped in gender studies and protesting Israel on campus."

 Daily Signal   "President Joe Biden rewarded one of the Left’s most influential and notorious donors Saturday, giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros.  

"The White House announced the honor in a list of 19 recipients, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and LGBTQ megadonor Tim Gill.

"Biden framed Soros’ funding as philanthropy in service of “democracy” and “social justice.”. . Soros bankrolled the “rogue prosecutor” soft-on-crime movement by funding the campaigns of local prosecutors who oppose the death penalty and use prosecutorial discretion to avoid charging crimes they consider minor.

Cully Stimson, deputy director of the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, and Zack Smith, a senior legal fellow at Heritage, have extensively exposed this movement and how it has emboldened criminals by enabling them to avoid prosecution. Their book, “Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying

America’s Communities,” was released in 2023.

"Crime rates have spiked across the country, particularly in Democrat-led cities, where murder rates have increased.

"Yet it makes a perverse amount of sense that Biden would grant Soros the highest civilian honor—not because the billionaire has funded a movement that puts Americans in danger but because his massive funding network enabled Biden’s allies to implement their radical agenda through the administrative state.

"My forthcoming book “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government,” reveals how Soros, his son, and other major left-wing donors prop up a vast network of woke activist groups that staff and advise the federal government." . . .

"Who’s Really in Control in Washington, D.C.? It’s The Woketopus"

Comment to story of Biden's MOF:  TK Matthews commented "Pass a resolution to change the name of the Presidents Medal of Freedom to include the name of the President. This way one can identify just who and what has been awarded this "Honor" .

"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." . . .

Another Gift From the Administration That Hates You: Biden Quietly Bans Many Gas-Powered Water Heaters

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." . . .
