Americans, our long national nightmare, the Biden presidency, is almost over. First, we must endure six more weeks of damage that President Joe Biden will inflict on the American people.Biden just gave Hunter, his son who was convicted on gun and tax evasion charges, an expansive 11-year pardon, after repeatedly promising he would not engage in such familial favoritism. Biden’s lies were so egregious that at a recent White House press briefing, CNN reporter MJ Lee asked a very pertinent question, “The next time that the president says he will or won’t do something, why should the American people believe him?”
Of course, the American people should never believe Biden, for he has been lying and plagiarizing his entire political career. For example, in the 1988 presidential race, Biden was forced to withdraw his candidacy after it was discovered he repeatedly plagiarized from the speeches of British political leader Neil Kinnock, among others.
Sadly, Hunter’s pardon will be just the beginning, for over the next six weeks, Biden will undoubtedly issue more controversial pardons. Some political observers speculate Biden could pardon other family members, such as his brother James.
He could also issue preemptive pardons for people who might face an investigation from the Trump Justice Department. This list includes Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) and former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney.
These pardons will only make the unpopular Biden more hated by the American people. According to a new poll by J.L. Partners, 52% of American voters believed it was “wrong” for Biden to pardon his son, while only 29% believed it was the “right” decision.
No wonder, another J.L. Partners poll, commissioned for The Daily Mail, ranked Biden as the worst American President in the last 47 years. Respondents ranked Biden worse than Jimmy Carter, a President who failed spectacularly, and Richard Nixon, a President embroiled in the Watergate scandal who was forced to resign.
Biden was ranked as one of the bottom two Presidents by 44% of the 1,006 registered voters who participated in the poll. In contrast, the poll results showed that Ronald Reagan was ranked as the best President of this era.
As a two-term President who won a 49-state re-election landslide in 1984, Reagan rebuilt our military, restored national pride, created millions of new jobs, reduced inflation and won the Cold War, by defeating the Soviet Union and their “Evil Empire.”
Unlike Reagan, Biden has decimated our military, which faces a recruiting crisis, created high inflation and interest rates with his unwise economic policies and endangered the security of our nation with his reckless mishandling of our southern border and our adversaries abroad.
From the embarrassing withdrawal of our troops in Afghanistan to his inability to stop wars in Ukraine and Gaza, Biden has been a disaster on the international stage. Unlike Reagan who projected “Peace Through Strength,” Biden continually conveys weakness, which invites war.
Not only has Biden made America weaker, both at home and overseas, but he is also physically and mentally weak. He is an unwell 82-year-old man, who should have retired from politics decades ago.
Last week, he visited Angola and fell asleep during a meeting of African leaders. This is not the image that the American people want to convey. Fortunately, our incoming President, Donald Trump, displays strength and will reverse the damage that Biden has done.
Sadly, we have six more weeks of the Biden agenda to withstand. Biden has already earned the title of the biggest spender in American history. When he started as President, our national debt was $27.7 trillion, but it has now reached $36.2 trillion, an increase of $8.5 trillion during his term.
Our national debt equates to an astronomical $271,790 per taxpayer. Obviously, the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is desperately needed, but until Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can begin to cut spending, Biden will foolishly waste billions of dollars.
During his trip to Angola, Biden announced a gift of $1 billion in “humanitarian assistance.” While there are tremendous needs in Africa, there are 200,000 victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina who were displaced from their homes. Many of these victims have been critical of the woeful response from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Focusing on “America First” was one of the major reasons President Trump was elected, but Biden seems to be more interested in funding Ukraine than in taking care of our citizens in need. He wants to send another $24 billion to Ukraine before he leaves office. This is in addition to the $4.65 billion loan to Ukraine that he forgave and the $61 billion aid package was approved in April.
U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) claimed that Biden’s actions will “sabotage President Trump’s peace negotiations.” Lee urged Congress to stop any more “funding demands” from Biden “on the way out the door.”
Congress needs to stand firm and prevent further damage from President Biden. His policies have already created an open border, a drug crisis, a floundering economy, and total international chaos.
Even the one so-called bright spot for Biden, job growth, is turning negative. In the latest jobs report, unemployment rose to 4.2%. Among native-born Americans, an astounding 215,000 jobs were lost and, over the last year, 1.1 million jobs were lost.
The 400,000 job gains in the last year were entirely due to increased foreign-born workers. As noted by E.J. Antoni, a Heritage Foundation Research Fellow, “Biden’s economic legacy, besides 40-year-high inflation and record debt, could perhaps best be described as transforming the American labor market into a temp agency for foreign workers and government bureaucrats.” He said that Biden “left behind blue-collar America to import new blue voters.”
Fortunately, with President Trump, the border will be closed, the influx of foreign workers will stop, and the focus will return to where it should always be, the citizens of the United States.
Afghaniscam was a failure, big corruption, billions went missing, military’s hands were tied politically and administratively. Bringing our military home was wise.
Only a fool thinks that reckless abandonment of Afghanistan was a good move.
The damage of giving away Bagram Airbase & selling out our allies cannot be overstated.
¹ Bagram was in an indispensable, strategic location. We are now blind in that region as evidenced when Biden wiped out an aid worker & kids soon afterwards (targeting a terrorist, but lacking local eyes. Oops!)
² From now on, when the U.S. tries to cultivate new allies, they’ll resist – knowing we would simply pull out & leave ’em to to the wolves as soon as a Democrat takes office.
It also emboldened our enemies to attack. Our embassy in Tehran taken over by students after our leaving Saigon in 1975. Our abandoning of Afghanistan led to Ukraine invaded & Israel attacked. (They saw a weak fool’s policy & took it as a green-light.)
You’re right about billions wasted, but that’s big gov’t S.O.P. – not endemic only to Afghanistan. (Jug-eared Barry gave billions in Iranian mullahs in cash.)
Renowned pedophile Bill Clinton is actively campaigning for Hillary to get one of those broad-based pardons.
(He did however, refrain from suggesting that Sleepy Joe sell the pardons as he did in 2000.)
Bill seems to think he doesn’t need a pardon himself. Afterall, his buddy Jeff Epstein can no longer testify.
Gee Billy. Why do you think that cackling harridan wife of yours needs a pardon? She already got the imprimatur from other criminals like Comey and Mueller.
Beginning with the Clintons, the 30 year grift of the radicalized commie Jihadi DemoCrats has finally come to an end. It continued with the fundamental transformation of grifter No.2, gay Muslim Barry Soetoro. It finally crashed and burned with Demented Biden. Each iteration was worse than what went before. Each iteration needed propping up from an increasingly corrupt “press”.
Can you imagine what a Hilary presidency would have looked like? A scandal du jour. Fortunately Trump won against her and we got to see what normalcy looked like albeit for four years. Otherwise it would have been continuous scandal and grift, through Clinton, Obama and Biden into the Harris admin. Grift-a-palooza.
The very interesting thing is that, since the Democrat Party went full tilt left under Obama and now Biden these two reprobates feel the need to issue pardons to all of the people they hired. Obviously they hired criminals.
I guess they figured Kamalalalala would easily win against Trump.
Sorry skippy. You “figgered” wrong.
We always knew they were criminals. The pardons are the proof.
A very long six weeks during which anything can happen like swarms of drones over sensitive military sites and now seen in several states.
How many times have I heard that promise “our long national nightmare is over”? It was first pronounced by President Gerald Ford in his Inaugural Address in September 1974. It was repeated for the Clinton exit (first Bill, then Hilary) and more recently after Obama..
So … here we are again. The nightmare’s been a lot more recurrent that we would have liked. One can only offer hope and optimism that is it at last finally true. I am an old cynic predisposed towards pessimism, but even I have begun to find faith that this time, God willing, it will turn out to be true.
Make it so, oh Lord.
What a blunder it was of Trump’s 2020 campaign not to have used Biden’ s plagiarism of Kinnock’s speech. Both can be viewed on the web. To have lifted Kinnock’s words verbatim demonstrated clearly B’s fundamental dishonesty and gross stupidity, both abundantly on display the past four years with catastrophic consequences. And he isn’t finished yet!
Our long nightmare will only end when Biden is gone, but he intends to make sure he is remembered, even if it’s as a traitor by leaving an even bigger mess than he created over the past 4 years.
Biden wants a legacy and it will be an infamous one. Living by that old pronouncement, better to rule in hell than…..
Americans, our long national nightmare, is almost over.
Ours in Australia continues.
As does ours in britain..
Globalists awake all night and worrying what’s to happen next Soros Schwabe and Gates
The puppet president is finally leaving. Perhaps now the Obama reign will finally end. He needs to disappear into the sunset. No one wants his Marxist policies.
Or his teen- aged level of thinking and his rage and spite. His hate for America, for white people, for Christian’s and especially his envy and hate for Jews Israel and Netanyahu!
This fully encapsulates our nation’s long travail:

BUT…the Light still shines, and darkness cannot overcome it.
We are in another scheme with these drones flying around, similar to the CCP spy balloon that gathered all kinds of information on the country. How incompentent is a government that doesn’t know what they are and says they are no threat?
It has been reported that Biden was contracted by the Chinese govt at the very beginning of his political career and that they paid him $1,000,000 each year at that point.
