The Worst Presidents in American History

Steve McCann  

"Within a matter of just sixteen years this nation was governed by the most anti-American president and the most corrupt presidents in its history. Coupled with an Obama controlled and Marxist-influenced Democrat Party and their ability to manipulate elections, America was facing an inevitable descent into a one-party socialist oligarchy. Thus, the importance of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement in rescuing this nation in 2024 cannot be overstated." 

"There have been 45 men who have been president of the United States. Over the decades there has been voluminous speculation over who were the worst. That distinction now belongs to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Obama was the most anti-American and radical president in American history and Joe Biden was the most venal and corrupt president in American history.

"This attached-at-the-hip duo has done more damage to the United States and its founding principles than any presidents in American history.

"Obama, a stealth but avowed Marxist, governed as a president unabashedly determined to shred the Constitution and transform the nation and its institutions. After the shock of Trump winning in 2016, Obama and his fellow-travelers, utilizing massive voting fraud and manipulation, made certain that Joe Biden was “elected” in 2020 to further their agenda. Biden was chosen because he could be easily manipulated or essentially blackmailed by the Obama-led cabal due to his well-known and long history of corruption and venality.

"On October 30, 2008, Obama openly stated that he would “fundamentally transform the United States” while his wife, Michelle, boasted “we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to move in a different place as a nation.” Following the installation of the most radical administration in the history of the country, the final stages of the grand strategy to fundamentally transform the nation into a permanent one-party socialist oligarchy began.

"Obama unabashedly denigrated the nation’s founding and history, oversaw the Marxist domination of the Democrat Party, set in motion unrestrained voting and attendant fraud that were the hallmarks of the 2020 election, dramatically accelerated welfare-state expansion, massively financed extreme Left-wing organizations, mainstreamed sexual deviancy in order to fracture the culture, and packed the judiciary and bureaucracy with likeminded Marxist sympathizers."

Biden Takes Credit for Syria Regime Change He Tried to Prevent . . ."Biden provided Iran with sanctions relief and bailed out Hezbollah just as it was on the verge of defeat. He's trying to take credit for other people's victories while pretending that this was a desired outcome, rather than Turkey taking the initiative and exploiting a weakened Hezbollah.

"Biden gets no credit here for anything except trying to save Hezbollah. And therefore, by extension, Assad."

Trump will reverse Biden’s Israel delusions and bring an era of Mideast peace

Israel deserves better allies than Carter, Obama, and Biden. TD

 Caroline Glick  

. . ."Biden and his team have blocked Israel from attacking Iran’s nuclear installations, arguing that such a strike will cause a regional war that will force direct US military involvement. Trump recognizes that by attacking Iran’s nuclear installations, Israel will end the regional war that has been raging for 400 days — and enable the United States to stay out of the hostilities." . . . 

"On Sunday, Israel reportedly killed Hezbollah terror boss Ali Musa Daqduq in Syria, bringing a measure of justice to the US military’s Iraq war veterans.

"In 2007, Daqduq and his underlings infiltrated a US base in Karbala, Iraq, killing one soldier and kidnapping — and later brutally executing — four more. CENTCOM sources on Monday expressed confidence that Daqduq had in fact been slain.

"Israeli forces have killed hundreds of terrorists with American blood on their hands since Iran launched its seven-front war against the Jewish state last year.

"Yet their achievements have made President Biden and his advisers uncomfortable — because they expose the truth that the Biden team has refused to countenance.

"Israel’s enemies are America’s enemies. And when Israel defeats its enemies, America wins.

Biden and his team are not alone in their discomfort. For over 30 years, the US foreign policy establishment produced one failed policy after another, because its members collectively refused to reconcile themselves to the fact that Israel is America’s greatest ally in the Middle East.

"Instead, they all insisted that Israel is the source of regional instability and that the only way to forge peace was for Israel to appease its enemies — all of whom seek its annihilation.

"Since that is a self-evidently impossible goal, all of those efforts failed.

"Cycles of US-induced appeasement, instability, terror and war led to further US-induced appeasement, and the pattern circled on and on and on.

"Donald Trump is the only US president in the past 30 years who insisted that reality be his guide.

"His willingness to recognize Israel as America’s greatest regional ally enabled him to see that the more powerful Israel is, the less America has to do. Conversely, the weaker Israel is, the more America has to do.

"For his part, Benjamin Netanyahu is the only Israeli leader in the past generation who has refused to play along with the delusions of America’s elite.

"Only Netanyahu has refused to accept blame for the pathologies of Israel’s enemies. He alone has refused to empower them for fear of unpleasant confrontations with Washington." ..

"Without their nuclear installations, their terror proxies or their oil revenues, and faced with an American administration committed to standing with Israel, Iran’s jihadist regime will soon lose its grip on power. The long-suffering Iranian people will finally be in a position to overthrow and replace the ayatollahs. With the threat of Iran removed, and Israel the unquestioned victor in the war, Trump and Netanyahu will usher in a new era of peace."

The Opportunity Of Trump’s Victory

 Caroline Glick; "How Donald Trump’s victory and Israeli Defense Minister Gallant’s firing pave the way for a strategic realignment in the Middle East that will serve as the foundation of regional peace and stability." One wonders if the angry anti-Trump rallies contain the same keffieh-clad, ill-educated, youthful-voiced horde.

"By working together to achieve common goals, Israel and the United States, under Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, can secure the peace of the Middle East and their nations’ separate and common interests in the international arena, to the benefit of the world as a whole."

"A collective sigh of relief was heard across Israel as the results of the U.S. presidential election were declared. But we cannot rest on our laurels. At this critical juncture, Israel must carefully assess the challenges it faces in the immediate term, as the lame-duck Biden administration completes its term. And it must set goals for the next four years to ensure that the opportunity Donald Trump’s return to the White House affords us is not squandered.

"To understand the immediate requirements, we need to remember what happened during Barack Obama’s final months in office.

"No longer concerned about winning an election, in December 2016, the Obama administration decided the time had come to punish Israel for opposing its nuclear appeasement of Iran and for rejecting its efforts to establish a Palestinian terror state. That month, America’s U.N. ambassador Samantha Power drafted an anti-Israel resolution that declared all Israeli presence beyond the 1949 armistice lines—including the Western Wall in Jerusalem—illegal. Power then pawned it off on other Security Council member states to sponsor and abstained from the vote, ensuring the passage of what became U.N. Security Council Resolution 2234.

"Resolution 2234 was the most anti-Israel resolution ever passed in the Security Council. It effectively called for an international boycott of all Israeli activities beyond the 1949 armistice lines. But 2234 wasn’t meant to be a standalone event. The Obama team planned to pass an additional resolution that would set out a timetable for Israel to agree to a Palestinian state in Hamas-controlled Gaza, all of Judea and Samaria and eastern, southern and northern Jerusalem. The resolution was supposed to include sanctions on Israel if it failed to capitulate within the set time schedule.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu worked with Trump’s transition team to scuttle it. Netanyahu and Trump’s advisers appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who signaled that Russia would veto the resolution. Stunned, the Obama team angrily shuffled away.

"There is good reason to assume that in the two and a half months before Trump returns to office, the outgoing Biden team intends to get that long-shelved resolution passed." . . .

FBI investigating alleged leak of U.S. documents on Israeli war plan; smells of Obama

The Washington Post 

 . . ."The leaked assessment demonstrates how closely the intelligence community monitors Israeli military activity," said Harrison Mann, a former analyst with the Defense Intelligence Agency who resigned to protest the Biden administration's support for Israel's war in Gaza.

"The FBI announced Tuesday that it is investigating an alleged leak of highly classified U.S. intelligence documents, days after assessments containing information about Israel's potential plans for a retaliatory attack on Iran were published on an Iran-linked Telegram account.

" 'The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community," the FBI said in a statement. "As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment."

"White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday that it is unclear whether the documents were made public through a leak or a hack. He said the government does not expect additional classified information to be made public without authorization.

"Early this month, Iran fired a barrage of nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, a response to the killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July and Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah in Beirut in September. Tehran has been bracing for a retaliatory strike since then.

"Kirby said Monday that President Joe Biden is "deeply concerned" about any leak of classified materials.

" 'That is not supposed to happen, and it's unacceptable when it does," Kirby said. "And you can rest assured that he will be actively monitoring the progress of the investigative effort to figure out how this happened, and obviously he'll be very interested in hearing any mitigation measures and recommendations that come as a result of the investigative efforts and how to prevent it from happening again."

"Kirby said the Biden administration had been in communication with the Israeli government about the disclosure.

"The intelligence assessment shows that the U.S. government believes Israel is preparing a major strike against Iran that would be a retaliation for a massive Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel on Oct. 1. The Biden administration has urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to carry out only a limited response that would not provoke yet another Iranian retaliation, in a bid to avoid a regional war.

"U.S. officials have been pushing Netanyahu to focus on Iranian military targets, not Iran's energy infrastructure or sites related to its nuclear program, which would far be more sensitive. Any attack on Iran's oil facilities could also roil the U.S. election on Nov. 5 by creating a spike in energy prices.

"The leaked assessment focused on U.S. observations of Israeli airfield activity on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week that it said were consistent with exercises to engage in long-range strikes that involve air-to-air refueling, something that would be necessary if Israeli fighter jets were to launch strikes on Iran. The assessment also discussed the movement of munitions carts on Israeli airfields. Two related documents were posted on the Telegram account, both dated Wednesday of last week." . . .

WaPo report discloses true Hamas intent to destroy Israel    'In “Captured documents reveal Hamas’s broader ambition to wreak havoc on Israel” (10/12/24), the Washington Post, perhaps for a moment, revives its former glory by engaging in investigative reporting. This, on a topic that has lacked investigative reporting for years: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this article, the Post discloses a treasure trove of documents recovered from Israeli incursions in Gaza. These documents give a clear picture of Hamas’s warfighting plans and intent. In one communication, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “was crystal clear about his ultimate intention: the destruction of the state of Israel. He repeats the point multiple times in the captured letters and asks Iranian officials to help him in his quest.” . . .

"If there were any residual hope that the Palestinians wanted a two-state solution, this news should dispel it once and for all." . . .

How the Biden/Harris Admin Helped Iran Get to the Brink of a Nuclear Bomb

 American Greatness

America and the world desperately need a strong and decisive U.S. president to undo the damage done to American and global security by the Biden/Harris administration’s disastrous Iran policies.  

There is no question that the Biden/Harris administration’s Iran policies have been a spectacular failure.

"Iran has made enormous progress in its nuclear weapons program during the Biden/Harris administration and reportedly can now enrich enough weapons-grade uranium to fuel nine nuclear bombs in one month. Although Iran may be nine months to a year away from having an operational nuclear weapon, recent attacks by Iran and Israel against each other’s territory have raised concerns that Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program could lead to a nuclear war in the Middle East.

"Biden/Harris administration officials have tried to blame President Trump for the advances in Iran’s nuclear program because he withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, the JCPOA. Democratic Governor Tim Walz made this claim during the October 1 vice presidential debate when he said, “There had been a coalition of nations that had boxed Iran’s nuclear program in . . . Donald Trump pulled that program and put nothing else in its place.”

"This is absolutely false. The huge advances in Iran’s nuclear weapons program are the result of major flaws in the JCPOA and a series of terrible national security policy decisions, including repeated attempts to appease Iran, by the Obama and Biden administrations.

"The first of these bad policy decisions was when the Obama administration conceded to Iran the “right” to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, such as nuclear medicine and nuclear reactor fuel.This decision reversed the positions of prior Republican and Democratic administrations who believed Iran could not be trusted to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes because of covert Iranian efforts to establish a nuclear weapons program and because it is easy to reconfigure uranium centrifuges supposedly constructed for peaceful purposes to produce weapons-grade nuclear fuel.

"Allowing Iran to enrich its own uranium for peaceful purposes has never made economic sense due to a glut of reactor fuel and nuclear medicine on the world market. Iran also does not need nuclear power due to its vast oil and natural gas reserves.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained this to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell in an October 2014 interview when he said Iran’s centrifuges “are only good for one thing: to make bomb-grade material.”...

Democrats’ decades of bargaining have only empowered Iran’s tyrannical leaders — and made us less safe 

"From Bill Clinton to Barack Obama to Joe Biden, Democratic presidents have been wooed by the false hope of a “grand bargain” with Iran. It has done nothing but embolden the mullahs and make Americans less safe, Kenneth R. Timmerman writes in his new book, “The Iran House: Tales of Revolution, Persecution, War, and Intrigue,” out now. Here, the senior fellow at the America First Policy Institute, explains how things have gone wrong." . . .

Obama criticized by black leaders over lecture on Harris enthusiasm

 May I suggest you read my commentary at the right sidebar of this page which has been there for almost two decades?  The Tunnel Dweller.

 Vernon Jones (@VernonForGA) October 11, 2024  “And for him to want to come down from his mansion in Martha's Vineyard and tell black men how we should vote, really? You don't even live in Chicago anymore. You left your black community, Barack Obama, and you want to tell us how to vote? We're not having that,” he said. 

Washington Examiner (msn.com)   "After former President Barack Obama rebuked black men for hesitating to support Vice President Kamala Harris, he's receiving backlash from African American leaders.

"From the Generation Z Republican who heads the Republican National Committee’s Youth Advisory Council to the Democratic national co-chairwoman of Bernie Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign, Obama’s stern words to a group of young black men during a Pittsburgh appearance Thursday haven't quite gotten the response he was looking for.

"Obama told black men that considering a vote for former President Donald Trump was "not acceptable" as he said part of their hesitancy was because they “just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.” . . .

Why do Kamala Harris supporters choose to vote against their own best interests?  "The Biden-Harris administration has been the most devastating for the American people in U.S. history. 

"From their opening the border to millions of invaders on day one, to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, to vaccine mandates and lockdowns, the war in Ukraine, the Oct. 7 massacre of Jews in Israel and their subsequent support of Hamas and Iran, to the massively irresponsible spending that has led to soul-killing inflation, and, most recently the abject failure of FEMA to come to the aid of hurricane victims." . . .

Back in the Obama era, this was the international status:  Why Middle Eastern leaders are talking to Putin, not Obama – POLITICO  "The United States has significantly more military capability in the Middle East today than Russia — America has 35,000 troops and hundreds of aircraft; the Russians roughly 2,000 troops and, perhaps, 50 aircraft — and yet Middle Eastern leaders are making pilgrimages to Moscow to see Vladimir Putin these days, not rushing to Washington. Two weeks ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to see the Russian president, his second trip to Russia since last fall, and King Salman of Saudi Arabia is planning a trip soon. Egypt’s president and other Middle Eastern leaders have also made the trek to see Putin.

"Why is this happening, and why on my trips to the region am I hearing that Arabs and Israelis have pretty much given up on President Barack Obama? Because perceptions matter more than mere power: The Russians are seen as willing to use power to affect the balance of power in the region, and we are not." . . .

. . ."As I hear on my visits to the region, Arabs and Israelis alike are looking to the next administration. They know the Russians are not a force for stability; they count on the United States to play that role. Ironically, because Obama has conveyed a reluctance to exercise American power in the region, many of our traditional partners in the area realize they may have to do more themselves. That’s not necessarily a bad thing unless it drives them to act in ways that might be counterproductive. For example, had the Saudis been more confident about our readiness to counter the Iranian-backed threats in the region, would they have chosen to go to war in Yemen — a costly war that not surprisingly is very difficult to win and that has imposed a terrible price? Obama has been right to believe that the regional parties must play a larger role in fighting the Islamic State. He has, unfortunately, been wrong to believe they would do so if they thought we failed to see the bigger threat they saw and they doubted our credibility." . . .

"Harris appears unlikely to diverge significantly from Biden's approach to conflicts around the globe"  

. . .“The Israeli government must do more to significantly increase the flow of aid,” she said. “No excuses. They must open new border crossings. They must not impose any unnecessary restrictions on the delivery of aid.  They must ensure humanitarian personnel, sites, and convoys are not targeted.  And they must work to restore basic services and promote order in Gaza so more food, water, and fuel can reach those in need.”

It’s also notable that Harris doesn’t have the decadeslong relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Biden has. She won’t attend his public address to Congress on Wednesday, although she reportedly has plans to meet with him later in the week. 

Philip Gordon, Harris’ national security adviser, would likely play a major role in her administration’s foreign policy apparatus. Gordon previously served as a Middle East adviser to former President Barack Obama and helped negotiate the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. " . . .

Hezbollah begging for mercy proves Israel is right to fight —and shrug off Biden’s terrible advice

NY Post Editorial Board   

If Qassem is suing for peace, it’s at least in part because he knows he’s next. As do all other Hezbollah honchos.  

"Lebanese terror outfit Hezbollah has changed its tune: After spending weeks trumpeting an apocalyptic end for Israel, the cadre of bloodthirsty cowards is begging the Jewish state to let up. 

"“We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” whined Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem — for the first time not conditioning a truce on an end to the war in Gaza. 

"Turns out bravely attacking your enemies with uncanny precision and skill, rather than begging them for peace, [as with Obama, Biden and most Democrats] is effective as a military strategy.

"Who knew?

"Israel’s amazing actions in the past month explain why Qassem is shaking in his boots." . . .

. . . The second is that Iran can be cowed and constrained. Not through giving in to the regime’s demands, but by standing firm against them.

Victor Davis Hanson: How to Blow Up the Middle East War in 5 Easy Steps

 Daily Signal

In part, Biden-Harris was caving to increased antisemitism at home and the rise of powerful, pro-Palestinian groups on U.S. campuses and in critical swing Electoral College states.

"When Joe Biden became president, the Middle East was calm. Now it is in the midst of a multifront war.

"So quiet was the inheritance from the prior Trump administration that nearly three years later, on Sept. 29, 2023—and just eight days before the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre of Israelis—Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, could still brag that “the Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.”
"So, what exactly happened to the inherited calm that led to the current nonstop chaos of the present?
"In a word, theocratic Iran—the nexus of almost all current Middle East terrorism and conflict—was unleashed by Team Biden after having been neutered by the Trump administration.
"The Biden-Harris administration adopted a five-step revisionist protocol that appeased and encouraged Iran and its terrorist surrogates Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
"The result was a near guarantee that something akin to the Oct. 7 massacres would inevitably follow—along with a subsequent year of violence that has now engulfed the Middle East.
"First, on the 2020 campaign trail, Biden damned longtime American ally Saudi Arabia as a “pariah.”
"He overturned the policies of both the previous Obama and Trump administrations by siding with the Iranian-supplied terrorist Houthis in their war on Saudi Arabia.
"Biden accused the kingdom of war crimes, warning it would “be held accountable” for its actions in Yemen. Biden-Harris took the murderous Houthis off the U.S. terrorist list.
"Almost immediately followed continuous Houthi attacks on international shipping, Israel, and U.S. warships—rendering the Red Sea, the entryway to the Suez Canal, de facto closed to international maritime transit." . . .

What Joe Biden Thinks of Latest Israel Attack Is Really Concerning

Sarah Arnold (townhall.com)

"According to the Times of Israel, Netanyahu kept its planned attack under wraps, fearing the Biden-Harris Administration would interfere." As Obama!

"The day after Iran attacked Israel by launching 180 ballistic missiles into the Jewish state, President Joe Biden urged Israel not to retaliate and escalate the war further. 

“ 'The answer is no,” Biden said on Wednesday when asked by reporters at Joint Base Andrews if he supports Israel potentially carrying out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. 

“All seven of us agree that they have a right to respond, but they should respond proportionally,” Biden said, referring to Group of Seven (G7) allies. His comments come as the United States suggests it will roll out new sanctions against Iran over its missile attack on Israel.

"The president said he would be speaking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “relatively soon” following Iran’s attack, adding that the U.S. is offering advice to Israel offices on how to respond to the terrorist country’s strike. Meanwhile, U.S. Security Adviser Jake Sullivan warned Iran that it will face “severe consequences” for its attack. 

“ 'We are now going to look at what the appropriate next steps are to secure, first and foremost, American interests, and then to promote stability to the maximum extent possible as we go forward,” Sullivan said Tuesday, although those “steps” are unclear. 

"Last week, Israel staged a surprise attack and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by launching an airstrike on the terrorist group’s headquarters in Lebanon." . . . 

America: Israel's cowardly ally

 Israel Did Not Inform US of Hezbollah Strike Plans - and Why Should They?

 The long-term consequences of U.S. intel leaks - CarolineGlick.com

The leaks weren’t only geared towards preventing an airstrike or commando raid on Iran’s installations. They were directed as well against Israel’s efforts to undermine the Iranian nuclear program through cyberwarfare and other forms of sabotage.

With friends like these who needs enemies?

"On Wednesday, Fox News and The Jerusalem Post ran stories based on a report from Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper claiming that the U.S. had revealed to Iranian authorities the identities of 10 Mossad agents in Iran who allegedly were involved in the July 31 assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

"Al-Jarida claimed its report was based on information provided by a member of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The alleged source told the Kuwaiti paper that U.S. officials had visited Iran secretly after the assassination with the goal of appeasing the regime. They told their Iranian counterparts that Israel had not informed them of its plans to kill Haniyeh and proceeded to provide them with the Mossad agents’ identities.

"On Thursday, Fox News deleted the story and the Post updated its report. The updated article led with the news that the U.S. National Security Council denied the Kuwaiti story.

"On Wednesday night, I shared the Post report on my X account. My post received well over one million views. Following the Post’s publication of its revision and Fox’s deletion of its initial report, I deleted my post and shared the Post’s revised story.

"Given the severity of the charge, why were Fox News and the Post so quick to report the Al-Jarida story? Why was my initial inclination to lend credence the report? The answer, in short, is that the Biden-Harris administration, like the Obama-Biden administration before it, has a track record of leaking Israeli operations in Iran." . . .

"Consider just a few well-known and widely reported examples.

"In May 2022, senior IRGC commander Sayyed Khodei was killed by gunmen outside his home. The gunmen escaped the scene on a motorcycle. According to Israeli officials, Khodei served as deputy commander of IRGC Unit 840 and was involved in planning cross-border plots against foreigners, including Israelis. At the time he was killed, Khodei was reportedly planning the assassination of French Jewish philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy.

"To avoid the prospect of retaliation and escalation, Israel did not claim responsibility for the strike. But Biden officials told The New York Times that Israel had killed him. The operation was carried out during Naftali Bennett’s premiership and Bennett and his associates were reportedly angered by the administration’s move, which raised the prospect of increased Iranian violence against the Jewish state." . . .

"Jimmy Carter? That was disgust, not hate per se. Walter Mondale — pitiful. Michael Dukakis — pathetic. Bill Clinton — slick and slippery. Al Gore — loathsome. John Kerry — imperious, narcissistic, arrogant. Even Biden — simply beneath contempt.

"But this past decade has presented the first time in a century or so that a Democrat opponent could be termed “despicable.” There were: (i) Obama (If you don’t adore him and worship him, you despise him.); (ii) Hillary, (whom no one adored or worshipped, but was impossible not to despise), and (iii) our present focus, Kamala Harris.

"So in honor of this, the Academy would like to hand out a set of awards for the best performances in Chicago this week:

Best Actress — Nancy Pelosi  "There really was no competition in this category. Nancy Pelosi gave the performance of a lifetime, reading every one of her lines without cracking. 

"We will not soon forget the way in which she said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had “established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times.”

"And then put such emotion into her voice while talking about infrastructure on rural broadband!

"We will not soon forget the way in which she said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had “established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times.”

"And then put such emotion into her voice while talking about infrastructure on rural broadband.

"Her performance was second to none as she paid tribute to the man whose career she so recently ended.

"She emoted. She praised. She licked her lips. And during Biden’s own performance, she could be seen enthusiastically waving a “We love Joe” sign. It takes an actor of once-in-a-generation skill to do what Nancy did.

Best Supporting Actress — Hillary Clinton  "The former first lady is a master of the supporting role. So it was inevitable that there would be artistry in her performance. And so it proved.

"Who could fail to be impressed when she talked about the glass ceiling that she and Kamala had done so much to crack?

"Or the way in which she held a smile even as she said that Kamala should be the first woman to make it to the Oval Office? 

"Some viewers may have gotten the feeling that Hillary was about to grab a bigger trophy and burst out screaming, “It should have been mine” at any moment. But she didn’t.

"She kept herself measured and turned in a performance of rare, multi-layered complexity, underscored by a raw, sublimated rage.

Best Actor — Bill Clinton  "The boy from Arkansas took the stage for half an hour to remind people of the good old days. By which he meant the days of George Washington.

"Without bursting out laughing once, Bill Clinton compared Joe Biden to George Washington and said that, like Washington, Biden had exited the stage at a time of his own choosing." . . .

More here on the rest of the speakers.  Concluding with:  Best Animated Feature — Joe Biden  "It is amazing what modern animation can achieve. Way past his normal bedtime of 4 p.m., a character amazingly resembling Joe Biden took to the stage.

"He managed a whole speech, whipped himself up into a rage over things that nobody said and wiped a tear from his face as he accepted the gratitude of a party that wanted him gone.

Best Supporting Actor — Cardinal Blase Cupich; Lifetime Achievement Award — Oprah Winfrey; Best Picture — Teresa Woorman; Special Effects — The Democratic National Committee

In conclusion: "Not too long ago, borders were secure, the world was at peace, gas was affordable, groceries were affordable, mortgage interest rates were 2.5%, and the economic outlook was outstanding. Now look at the mess in less than 4 years."
