At the end of the year, we are on the razor’s edge of many things that soon may blow up.
Americans are far beyond President Joe Biden’s serial untruths of some eight years that he never discussed Hunter Biden’s various get-rich-quick schemes.
All were predicated on the perception of foreign interests purchasing from the Biden family the influence of then-senator, vice president, and possibly soon-to-be President Joe Biden.
The Bidens now risk exposure to criminal charges of multimillion-dollar tax fraud, perjury, influence selling, and bribery as congressional committees and a special prosecutor unravel years of tangled-up quid pro quos.
A newly indicted Hunter remains reckless and unpredictable. He continues to publicly blame his mounting legal problems on everyone and everything other than his own selfish excesses.
Hunter deliberately involves his family and may even bring down his own father. His tax lawyers have previously threatened to call President Joe Biden to testify on his behalf under oath.
He continues to court public scandal by hawking amateurish “representational” paintings to the quid-pro-quo wealthy and wannabes wishing clout with the White House.
His laptop messages reveal a prodigal son angry that his bagman services were never fully appreciated by his familial beneficiaries.
Hunter’s wayward laptop is a felonious trove of drug-addled, illicit Petronian excess and sex, interspliced with his self-incriminating family communications on the distributions of pay-for-play payoffs.
Hunter’s business aides will be called back to elaborate on their already incriminating testimonies.
The contents of Joe Biden’s various alias emails will soon see new scrutiny.
Given Biden’s physical and ethical frailties, age, and bad polling, the left-wing media and Democratic hierarchy may cease circling the wagons around him. Instead, some may fuel the effort to sandbag a 2024 Biden candidacy by releasing or even leaking incriminating evidence.
Harvard President Claudine Gay’s tenure is even more tenuous than Biden’s. Harvard can either claim to be the nation’s preeminent academic institution or continue to protect a plagiarist as president—not both.
It can profess to be at the center of academia’s moral and intellectual universe, but not if its president cannot punish those on campus who daily call for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people. Gay cannot lie to Congress that Harvard in the past has also allowed “hate speech” against entire groups the way it now allows against Jews.
Nor is it sustainable for Gay to fob off calls for her resignation as “racist.” In fact, the more the public learns about her academic career, the more she seems to be a lifetime beneficiary, not a victim of racially-weighted policies.
Since the October 7 Hamas massacre of 1,200 Jews, anti-Israeli/pro-Hamas protests, often violent, have swept the Western world, particularly in the big cities and on campuses of America.
Protestors no longer distinguish being anti-Israeli from being anti-Jewish. Now they just openly mouth anti-Semitic chants and harass individual Jews.
Almost every hallowed monument—from the Lincoln Memorial to the White House gates, nearly every cherished national icon from the famed Christmas tree in New York’s Rockefeller Center to New York’s Naivety scene, and our most famous infrastructure from the Manhattan Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge—has either been swarmed, defaced, or disrupted by pro-Hamas demonstrators.
Americans are growing weary of these escalating protests for a variety of reasons. Most remember that the October 7 war started not with Israeli preemptive attacks on an independent Gaza, but only after Hamas killers launched a sneak attack to commit atrocities against Jews residing in Israel.
The current war is waged between a constitutional state of free elections and a cruel, autocratic terrorist clique.
Indeed, Hamas has refused negotiations over a ceasefire that would have led to internationally conducted free elections for the people of Gaza—something forbidden by enriched Hamas kingpins ensconced in luxury abroad.
Many of the loudest and most violent anti-Jewish protestors in the U.S. are immigrants, green card holders, or on student visas. That fact is confusing to Americans.
Why would those who have fled despotic regimes in the Middle East to study, work, or reside in a free America, once safely here, rally for the very dictatorships they left behind and apparently do not wish to return to?
Why trash the very foundation and values of their American hosts that ensure their newfound freedoms?
For weeks, the American people have been relatively silent as they digested these ongoing catastrophes. But at some point, their patience will run out.
Americans will then collectively conclude that Joe Biden has never been truthful about vast ill-gotten funds that have enriched his family; that Harvard is no longer preeminent or even prestigious; and that people who do not like us, our laws, and our values should try cheering on the work of Hamas from their own homes.
Jeff Bargholz says
“At some point, the patience of the American people will run out.”
I sure hope that happens soon, preferably before 2025, and I hope it includes intolerance of election rigging.
“Hunter deliberately involves his family and may even bring down his own father.”
That would be a New Year’s treat. That family is such a snake nest that I wouldn’t be surprised if Crack Hunter actually informed on the rest of them, even his dear, doddering dad. He’s so stupid he may do it by accident in his attempts to avoid punishment, though
World@70 says
You’re right Jeff, “by accident”. All those drugs and self-indulgence may have affected his judgement to a point where self-preservation overrides family ties. Others in the Biden orbit might feel the same. There is always that spot lurking under the bus waiting for Old Joe to curl into.
Jeff Bargholz says
I hope it’s a bus full of “children [who] are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle.”
B. Stauning says
“At some point, the patience of the American people will run out.”
At some point America will run out of “American people” as we used to know them.
Maybe it has already happened.
Jeff Bargholz says
It’s happening at a rate of approximately 10,000 a day at the southern border. Nothing but the world’s best, I’m sure.
jeremiah says
They hold all the cards.
People in a forum like this may know what is going on, but it’s a huge jump to think that most Americans have any idea of what is really going on and how much danger they are in. They have no idea how completely upside down their world is about to become.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, the average tardmo thinks “America is too big to fail.” That stupid notion deserves a double barreled DERP DERP.
TRex says
I think many of them (the leftists for sure) are just fine with how things are playing out. They see it as their side winning but don’t have a clue as to what it is they are winning. It’s tribalism at the core. The social contract and basic human civility has been thrown out the window.
Joe Esposito says
Low IQ protesters, drug induced generation of losers, and the Filthy Democrat party three reasons to vote Republican.
Chris Shugart says
Not particularly good reasons, but they’re legitimate ones. More timid, status quo Republicans in office won’t exactly send me into my happy dance.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Low IQ protesters, drug induced generation of losers?” That’s the Dirtbagocrat base right there, along with blacks who miss that old time Donkey slavery and the KKK, and the Alphabet People who can’t bend over or eat something that stinks often enough.
Chief Mac says
A saw a cartoon from the late 60s with two buzzards sitting on a dead tree in the desert and one looks at the other and says “patience my ass, I’m going to kill something”. I am there
Kynarion Hellenis says
Far Side. My favorite alongside Calvin & Hobbes.
Jeff Bargholz says
Right. Now I remember the source of that one. (Only because you reminded us, though.) Funny stuff.
“The Far Side” and “Calvin and Hobbes” were my favorites too, along with “Bloom County.”
The funny pages haven’t been funny for a very long time. Some of the strips are downright offensive and even the illustrations suck.
Darryl says
When western societies are going the German route and letting gang rapists out with a finger wagging, Missad like incineration of these gang rapists makes sense.
Jeff Bargholz says
I saw that one, too. It’s from “The National Lampoon,” I think.
I think many Americans are ready for something or someone to rouse a nationwide defense of the Constitution.
TRex says
I remember that, too. Seems its time has come again.
Intrepid says
Mr. Hansen, write what you really mean. Ditch the polite intellectual pose. You aren’t accomplishing a great deal from that farm in California. Or stick to writing history reflections of WWII.
Onzeur Trante says
And when Americans’ patience runs out, then what? They go shopping? Wear airpods 24/7? Go to the gym? Most likely they slog along like they’ve been doing.
Jeff Bargholz says
Slog along? Most Americans have been dropping trou and bending over. The Dirtbagocrat supporters have been doing it eagerly.
DARRYL says
Hamas cultivates the demonic in Islamic populations because they believe the demonic no longer exists in western men
.But the demonic is part of the human condition., evolved into our very biology.. When the veil of civilization has been rent, as it was in October in Gaza, the gates of hell are opened for us all.
If a people cannot react demonically and riuthlessly against the forces that deive nails into their girls thighs and decapitate babies with shovels, they are already dead.
Hamas and the incel armies of Allah are a crime against humanity. Suffice to say, this is not a job for Mother Teresa.
BobbyD says
Mr. Hanson couldn’t be more clear. He offers great insight and voice to those of us who champion the preservation of the letter and spirit of the US Constitution and the restoration of American Exceptionalism.
Justin Swingle says
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief and New York Times bestselling Breaking Biden author Alex Marlow told YouTuber Stephen Gardner the Bidens would be in “handcuffs” if the United States “had a responsible Department of Justice.”
Justin Swingle says
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation (TWO GAMER LAWYERS – OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS) (WHAT ABOUT THE CHINA BIDEN PENN CENTER?) and the Obama (TWO GAMER LAWYERS – OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS) book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family (FOUR GAMER LAWYERS – JOE, HUNTER, JAMES, FRANK – OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS AND LARRY FINK OF BLACKROCK) corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren (GAMER LAWYER) and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption (ADD GAMER LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS (WANTS TO BE OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS) AND HER LAWYER HUSBAND AND THE BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY, LAWYER CHUCK SCHUMER, OWNED BY LARRY FINK OF BLACKROCK WHO OWNS A BIG PIECE OF THE ‘BIG GUY’ JOE, AND GEORGE SOROS’ RENT BOY (GAMER LAWYER) TONY BLINKEN, AS WELL AS CON MAN (GAMER LAWYER) ADAM SHIFF) AND HIS CORRUPTNESS (GAMER LAWYER) BOB MENENDEZ STILL EVADING PRISON.

Barry Spinello says
A bit off topic, but it might be fun to point out that Claudine Gay’s resignation letter is word for word Richard Nixon’s resignation letter. And no quotation marks. Plagerism? You be the judge. She just can’t help it.
Monitor checker – dump this, but I couldn’t refuse.
Jeff Bargholz says
She’s not a crook?
Her replacement will be an ideological duplicate.
TRex says
It’s that leopard and spots thing. Who would expect anything less. It’s up for grabs on who penned the “victim” parts for her.
