For the majority of the American people, the 2024 election couldn’t come fast enough. It seemed that every decision the Biden administration made for 4 years, went bad. Biden ran on the promise to restore order to America after the Trump chaos. He then proceeded to appoint a cacophony of unqualified people to his cabinet. The Biden form of chaos began on his first day in office. He issued many dozens of Executive Orders rescinding Trump policies, whether they were effective or not. He promised to be the adult in charge to return dignity to the Oval Office. In April of 2021, shortly after being elected, he told the Taliban he was going to leave Afghanistan by 9/11 of that year. His hasty retreat left 13 American military personnel and over 100 Afghani’s dead. His fumbled retreat left 200 U.S. citizens and tens of thousands of our Afghani allies behind, vulnerable to the atrocities of the Taliban. He left tens of billions of dollars of weapons, munitions, vehicles, and advanced weaponry and technology, behind. That, my friends, is the very definition of chaos.

One could have been excused for hoping the President’s decisions wouldn’t get worse than that. Alas, the screwups kept coming. He reduced fossil fuel production on public land and pushed a mountain of money we didn’t have out the front door with an end loader. That combination caused inflation to skyrocket to a 40 year high of 9%. The inflation “tax” raised the prices of everything, especially necessities. It crushed those on fixed incomes, and people from the middle class down. Everyone except the very rich, and illegal aliens, are still reeling from these decisions.

During his speech at the 2020 Democrat National Convention Biden, speaking of Trump said, “He’s failed to protect us. He’s failed to protect America. And my fellow Americans, that is unforgiveable.” Over the next 4 years his incompetence allowed 10-12 million people to enter our country illegally. Approximately 1.7 million others, known as “gotaways” are roaming freely in our cities. We have captured over 350 people who entered illegally and are on the terrorist watchlist. How many evaded capture? Countless innocent American citizens have been murdered, raped, assaulted, and robbed, by illegals. That could not have happened had they been apprehended and deported. That is unforgiveable.

His COVID restrictions were draconian. Kids were kept out of school for at least a year longer than the science said was necessary. We will probably never know the long-term damage those policies did to our kids. Law enforcers, fire fighters, health care workers, and military personnel, were resigning, retiring, or being fired, instead of taking the mandated vaccine. He forced Critical Race Theory into our schools, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, into corporations and all government departments. It was his decision to allow males into female locker rooms and bathrooms, and vice versa, and boys to compete against girls on school athletic teams. None of the above were/are supported by the majority of the American people.

Biden’s Justice Dept. was responsible for removing the blindfold from Lady Justice. The DOJ is weaponized against those who pose a threat to Biden, or the Progressive Left. Our once proud legal system now resembles those in third world countries. “Nobody is above the law” was a common refrain of Biden and Democrats as they endlessly pursued Trump with a vengeance. On numerous occasions Biden said he would not pardon his son, Hunter. Regardless of his promises, everybody knew Hunter would be pardoned. Given the authority, I reckon that every father would pardon his child. It is not the pardon that offends me, it is the sweeping nature of the pardon. It absolves Hunter of any Federal crimes he committed from 2014 to the end of this year. That seems to be a blatant abuse of power. He has since pardoned another 1,500 people. Some of them, the lowest of the low. It is certain he is not done. Will he issue a blanket pardon for everyone who has a “D” after their name?

As I write this article, hundreds of somethings are flying over the East Coast. I say somethings because the Biden government refuses to tell us what they are. Initially, we were told that people were hallucinating, that the objects were manned vehicles, mostly airplanes. Now we are being told this is nothing new. The vehicles are airplanes, or drones that are being flown legally by hobbyists. We are being asked to believe that all of a sudden, after the election, hundreds of airborne vehicles coincidentally appeared, simultaneously over New Jersey. Apparently, New Jersey natives haven’t been looking to the sky prior to last month. Most of us know that hobbyists don’t have access to drones that are of the size described by witnesses. We know something unusual is going on. We also know the Biden government is either lying to us, or they are hopelessly, frighteningly, incompetent.

The above ill-fated decisions, and many others, could be chalked off to ideology, fecklessness, dementia, or plain stupidity. I’ve never been a Joe Biden fan. Like some others, I thought of him as a harmless dufus. But his actions since the election have forever changed my opinion of him. It is one thing to make bad decisions. To err is human. It is entirely different to make decisions designed to harm the people you took an oath to protect. That is plain evil, perhaps criminal. It was in February of 2022 that Russia invaded Ukraine. The U.S. has since provided over $175 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Yet, less than 2 weeks AFTER the election, Biden gave Ukraine permission to launch U.S. made missiles into Russia. Why now? That decision will make Putin more difficult to deal with and will certainly make Trump’s job of ending the war in Ukraine that much tougher. It is recklessly dangerous.

Reports are coming out of Arizona that the Biden administration is hauling away unused pieces of the border wall. Reports say the pieces are being taken to government scrap yards where they will be sold at auction. GovPlanet, a government auction site, said bidding started at $5 for the panels. Some say the final price could be discounted by 99% at the auctions. If the reports are true, that is despicable and would mark a new low. The American people, you and I, paid full price for that material. If we have to rebuy it, the cost would be considerable higher. Biden’s decision could cost us hundreds of billions of dollars. And he knows it. That a sitting President, who purports to represent every American, could do such a contemptible thing is hard to understand.

Biden had the chance to leave office as a pitied President because he had to deal with dementia while doing the most difficult job in the world. People would have remembered him as good old Uncle Joe from Scranton. But the cumulative effect of his bad decisions, coupled with the intentional mess he is leaving his successor, will forever taint any legacy he may have had. He will make an ignominious departure.
