Five Quick Things: Joe Biden’s Legacy Of Suck

   How do you think about all this now, Howard Stern?   


The American Spectator 
 Hey, I’m just passing along what others are saying. I have no dog in this fight. If Michelle Obama wants to ban herself from public view regardless of what circumstance that flows from, I’m all for it.

. . .1. Oh, Yeah, He’s Got a Legacy, All Right
"On Wednesday night, Joe Biden took to the airwaves to babble away at his fellow Americans, touting his “legacy” as president and then whining, in a style he attempted to steal from Dwight Eisenhower in the same way he pilfered Neil Kinnock’s speeches all those years ago, about “oligarchs” in Big Tech whom he was perfectly happy with until a year ago.
"At The Hayride and RVIVR, I put up a post in response to that. I don’t care about anything Biden said in his speech; those aren’t his words and he barely comprehended them as he read them off that teleprompter.
"But he’s got a legacy. That can’t be denied. The problem is that his legacy isn’t what he thinks it is. Biden thinks he’s a progressive hero, but what he really amounts to as a president is such a colossal failure as to actually end a political era.
"If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know the structure of American political history I talk about often (it’s a major theme of , as you might know). Which is that we’ve had three major eras in American politics. I get into the details of that more in the Hayride/RVIVR piece, but my thesis for a while has been that the third of those eras is ending.
"And the previous endings of political eras in America have come courtesy of disastrous presidencies. John Adams’s brutal term before Thomas Jefferson blew him away in the election of 1800 precursed the beginning of the major political eras in our history was the first era and then came the fiascoes of James Buchanan, who ended it, and Herbert Hoover, who ended the second.
That brings me to Joe Biden." . . .

 Janet Yellen throws another can of garbage into the Biden dumpster fire economy  "After four years of allowing Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats to spend up a storm and calling inflation "transitory." Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is suddenly concerned about the debt ceiling.". . .

Yellen didn't complain at all the last two months as Biden has been sending money to green pushers as fast as he could.

 Biden has been paying off student loans illegally ... and Yellen didn't say a word. 
 No complaints as Biden sent unlimited funds to Ukraine. 
 Didn't say a word as Biden ran up a $2 trillion deficit in a supposedly great economy. 
 Nor did she say a word when Democrats threatened to close the government instead of agreeing to lift the debt ceiling. 
 But as soon as Trump takes office she says the U.S is in a world of trouble." . . .

Joe Biden: last-minute sabotage fails 

. . ."Suffice it to observe there are multiple federal and state laws guaranteeing equal treatment for women--America has greatly changed since 1923--and God only knows what the ERA, had it ever been lawfully ratified, might have meant in an age when “gender identity” trumps biology.

"But, determined to stick another thumb in American’s eyes, enter Biden’s handlers." . . .

UPDATE: Biden burns it all down on his way out the door   . . ."Even politicos from Biden’s own party are outraged by the many get-out-of-jail-free cards the outgoing commander-in-chief has been tossing around like Halloween candy corn.

"Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, is incensed that Biden commuted the sentence of former judge Michael Conahan.

"One of two jurists found guilty of accepting $2.8 million in illegal payments in exchange for sending youngsters to for-profit detention facilities.

"The so-called “Kids for Cash” scandal “affected families in really deep and profound and sad ways,” Shapiro said.

" 'Some children took their own lives because of this,” he added.

“ 'Families were torn apart There’s all kinds of mental health issues and anguish that came as a result of these corrupt judges deciding they wanted to make a buck off a kid’s back.”

"The prez and his toadies crowed that offenders placed on home confinement had “reintegrated into their families and communities.” . . .

Chuck Schumer Talked Biden Out of Presidential Race at Obama’s Request: Report

 RTM


"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) attempted to corner President-elect Donald Trump’s Treasury nominee, Scott Bessent, during a U.S. Senate Finance Committee hearing on Thursday. 
"Sanders, known for his fierce criticism of the wealthiest Americans and their influence on U.S. politics, asked Bessent a pointed question that backfired in dramatic fashion." . . .
. . ."Bessent’s response was a sharp retort. 
“ 'Well, I would note that President Biden gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think would qualify for his oligarchs,” he said, referencing billionaire liberal philanthropist George Soros and Microsoft founder Bill Gates—both major donors to Democratic causes.
"Sanders seemed taken aback by the response and stammered, “This is not a condemnation of any one individual.”

Fact-Checking 3 Claims in Biden’s Farewell Address

Daily Signal  

"Also, according to two Arab officials interviewed by the Times of Israel, Trump did more to sway Netanyahu to make a deal in one day than Biden had done all year."


Job Creation  "Biden took credit for producing the greatest amount of job creation for any president in one term. He said that his administration created “nearly 17 million new jobs, more than any other single administration.”
"However, that statistic is extremely misleading since most of the job creation happened after mass job losses during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Even Politico has noted that the “U.S. economy didn’t recover all the jobs lost during Covid until 2022.”
"A smaller percentage of Americans are working today than there were working when Biden took office" . . .
Violent Crime   "After touting the passage of a gun control law under his administration, Biden said that he’s brought violent crime down to a 50-year low.
"“I passed the most significant gun safety law in 30 years and brought violent crime to a 50-year low,” he said.

 . . ."The New York Post reported in August that “between 2016 and 2020, violent crime fell by 17% under Trump — and soared by 43% under Biden between 2020 and 2022.

"Additionally, there are now problems with the recording of crime statistics. Not only are many crimes going unreported, but many city police departments haven’t been reporting complete crime data to the FBI since the system changed in 2021."

Hostage Deal  "“After eight months of nonstop negotiation by my administration, a ceasefire and a hostage deal has been reached by Israel and Hamas,” Biden said. He claimed that the deal struck between Israel and Hamas this week was conducted and developed by his “team.” . . .

California Democrats are the state's worst enemies

I admire Elon Musk and wish him success, but not the Democrat-mandated kind. TD

"You’ve plugged your electric vehicle into your home charger and hit the sack. Overnight, high winds topple a power line. Your charger blacks out. Then, a report of a fire, followed by an evacuation order. Your battery’s only charged to 25%. And it’s your only car. . . .

"He'll save the inedible bait fish, the weed that no one's ever heard of, elevate meritless executives, and kill the gas car. Those are the highest environmental aspirations of Gavin Newsom, the alleged visionary governor of California, whose distorted priorities have combined to create the conditions for LA Inferno 2025. As the smoke begins to clear, the cruel environy is dawning.

"Even now, the homeless LA gliteratti, who soon may be allowed to sift through the ashes of their homes in hopes of finding the gold coins that looters haven't dug up yet, wonder how they could have been so gullible. They bought Newsom's climate change diktats hook, line, and gas can, and now their electric car doesn't work. Their beloved Tesla and their neighbor's Nissan Leaf are charred carbon hulks considered by the environment police to be portable toxic waste dumps. I'm sorry, sir, and you can't move it until we've studied the environmental externalities of your charred car. Grab a number.

"And no mocking these poor folks, America, because this Caltastrophe may have bought more time for the rest of the country to shout down the climate cultists in state houses across the country. California's proof of concept showed that climate nirvana doesn't protect the environment for humans. 

"Indeed, though less important, it's now dawning on Angelenos, more than a week after the fires started, that they're witnessing the incineration of all the "greenhouse emissions reductions" promised in Newsom's 2035 gas car ban. 

"More pointedly, if you have no power for a week, as thousands of Los Angeles residents who live near the evacuated fire areas have experienced, you can't charge your car battery. What happens if the fire spreads and you can't get out?

"When their lives depended on it, the diktats and mandates didn't help, but gas cars sure did.

"The LA Times reported — and I'm sure it killed them to do it — that EV drivers are having a tough time of it." . . .

Aren't the Antifa Generation the ones guiding Biden's Administration?

How can it not seem so?

Biden Goes on Insane Screaming Rant About the ERA at Event   "Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified:

"The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex." . . .


. . ."On Friday, during one of his final events at the U.S Conference of Mayors, Biden continued on the issue. He ranted and screamed that the ERA was the law of the land NOW, no matter what the law or anyone said. That it was the 28th Amendment Because he says so. NOW! This is insane." . . . 

A man with Joe's mental limitations should never be allowed to address our nation on matters of such consequence. I fear this was allowed in order for the left to feel the Republicans will take it away from them; if the result leads to riots and cities burning, all well and good; the generation affected has become comfortable with destruction of our nation's culture, cities and history. Their ignorance matches perfectly with Biden's lack of cognition.

Just How Bad Has Joe Biden's Presidency Been? Americans Weigh In—and It's Not Pretty

. . ."As his disastrous reign finally comes to a close (has it really only been four years? It feels like ten – in the desert), Americans largely seem to agree that he won’t be remembered fondly, at least according to Gallup. The outfit conducted a poll in December and concluded Tuesday that “Americans Think History Will Rate Biden Presidency Negatively.”

"That’s a nice way of saying his numbers are horrendous." . . .

"Lincoln and Joe Biden!?" CBS journalist Lesley Stahl was stunned when Nancy Pelosi suggested President Biden be added to Mount Rushmore.

Trump. Biden, Israel, and Hamas

A Costly Cease-Fire Deal


. . ."With that said, the deal exacts a significant price on Israel. Israelis will be required to withdraw from parts of Gaza that were wrested from terrorists after months of deadly urban warfare. Israel will also be required to release dozens of Palestinian prisoners for each hostage set free. Specifically, for every female Israeli soldier hostage returned, Israelis will have to hand over 50 Palestinian prisoners, including 30 serving life sentences. In another cruel twist, the 33 hostages (who are a mix of living and dead captives) will not be released all at once, but only gradually over the course of the 42-day initial phase.
"Furthermore, at the end of the first phase, Hamas will retain more than 60 hostages. Securing their release will require significant additional concessions from Israelis in phases two and three. Concessions will likely involve the release of thousands of prisoners, an end to Israel’s war on Hamas, and a full withdrawal from Gaza." . . .

Is the Israel-Hamas ceasefire a good thing or a bad one?  
"Israel’s Knesset has approved the ceasefire with Hamas, so it’s a done deal...for now. Whether it will remain done is another question entirely. What is certain is that many who love Israel believe it was a disastrous deal. They are angry at both President-Elect Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I, however, am more sanguine. I think it was a necessary deal for Israel and that it won’t be a disaster in the future." . . .

. . ."And that’s the why and how of Phase 1. Israel gets some of its innocent civilian hostages, Gaza gets back lots of people who actively engaged in warfare and murder, both sides get a break from combat, and Gaza residents return home.

"If that phase lasts, phase 2 sees living male hostages go back to Israel (assuming there are any), and Israel withdraws troops from Gaza. And in phase 3, the two sides release bodies, Israel works on helping rebuild Gaza, and the borders that Israel has sealed (especially with Egypt, through which arms come) are reopened.

"People, obviously, are worried about the Israeli withdrawal and the borders being reopened. It seems to set the stage for starting the cycle all over, especially because Hamas’s new leader, safely ensconced in Qatar, proudly boasted that this is what he plans to do: . . ."

, who claimed OJ Simpson was framed, would say a bad deal: It Wasn't a Deal – It Was a Crime   

"The decision by the Israeli government to make significant concessions to the Hamas kidnappers should never be called a "deal." It was an extortion. Would you call it a deal if somebody kidnapped your child and you "agreed" to pay ransom to get her back? Of course not. The kidnapping was a crime. And the extortionate demand was an additional crime.

"So the proper description of what occurred is that Israel, pressured by the United States, capitulated to the unlawful and extortionate demands of Hamas as the only way of saving the lives of kidnapped babies, mothers and other innocent, mostly civilian, hostages.

"This was not the result of a negotiation between equals. If an armed robber puts a gun to your head and says, "your money or your life," your decision to give him your money would not be described as a deal. Nor should the extorted arrangement agreed to by Israel be considered a deal. So let's stop using that term." . . .

Children found ‘butchered’ in Israeli kibbutz, IDF says, as horror of Hamas’ attacks near border begins to emerge | CNN 2023:   . . ."Babies and toddlers were found “decapitated” in Kfar Aza, Tal Heinrich, a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said Wednesday. CNN could not independently verify that report, and Hamas said media reports about attacking children were false. 

"This comes after the IDF told CNN Tuesday that the killings at Kfar Aza amounted to a “massacre.”

Do you remember how poorly Melania was treated last time as First Lady?

Susan Quinn 

But Melania appears to be turning the page with a new and refreshing attitude. She realizes that the times have changed, as has President Trump. And she is showing a new confidence and excitement about entering the White House this time around:

"When Melania Trump enters the White House on January 20, she anticipates a very different experience than the time she spent there in President Trump’s first term.

"Do you remember how poorly she was treated? Here’s what Donna Rice Hughes, CEO and president of internet safety organization Enough Is Enough, noted in 2017:

Never has there been so much lingering hostility so long after a presidential election.

Much of this hostility has been aimed at the first family, with a particularly cruel emphasis on Melania Trump.

And yet, despite the barrage of insults attacking her, including the New York Times reporter who referred to her as a hooker and the ex-boxer who called her a golddigger, the first lady continues to demonstrate grace, kindness and patience.

"(Hughes also emphasized Melania’s personal experience with the level of vitriol that can be experienced through social media.)

"Although many first ladies have been indulged by international designers, Melania was shunned by them: . . .

Hirono ripped for 'deranged' opening confirmation hearing question to Burgum: 'This lady has issues'

Andrew Mark Miller; Fox News   "Hirono has asked the same question to other nominees in the past"   

"How the F does Hirono have seats on Judiciary AND Armed Services AND Energy?????" columnist Tiana Lowe Doescher posted on X. "What member of Dem leadership does she have kompromat on??"

Fox News

"Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii faced mockery on social media on Thursday over her opening questions to Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum during his confirmation hearing. 

" 'As part of my responsibilities to ensure the fitness of nominees before any of the committees on which I sit, I ask the following two initial questions," Hirono said to Burgum on Thursday. "First is, since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?"

" 'No, senator, I have not," Burgum responded. 

" 'Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?" Hirono then asked.

" 'I have not," Burgum said. 

"Hirono, who has asked similar opening questions to several other nominees in the past, including Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth and Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, was widely panned by conservatives on social media over the line of questioning. 

" 'This lady has issues." conservative commentator Chad Prather posted on X. " . . .

Comment to the above: " 'Senator, I find these to be inappropriate questions that are totally unrelated to the substance of this hearing. I therefore respectfully decline to answer." What's she going to do about it - not vote for him? She already decided not to vote for him the day he was nominated by Trump." JHUJOEB663
