Biden Seals His Legacy As Worst President In History

Since the election, not-soon-enough-to-be-former President Joe Biden has provided a steady stream of reminders as to why the nation will be glad to be rid of him. His unique mixture of incompetence, cluelessness, disdain, arrogance, and sleaziness has been on full display.
Consider what Biden managed in a few short weeks.
The unprecedented, sweeping pardon of his son Hunter made a mockery of not only his solemn pledge that he’d trust the justice system but managed to infuriate every Democratic leader and media fanboy who’d sung his praises for that pledge.
The mysterious appearance of drone swarms around the country has showcased the ineptitude of Biden’s administration, which has attempted to: 1) tell Americans that they must be mistaken, 2) reassure everyone that the drones pose no threat and 3) admit that it has absolutely no idea what’s going on with these drone flights.
The administration’s muddied responses sparked bipartisan outrage. New York’s Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul complained that “this has gone too far” after drones temporarily shut down runways at New York Stewart International Airport.
Biden’s decision to commute nearly 1,500 sentences for people – who, he said, “have shown that they deserve a second chance” – and pardon 39 others has raised hackles, even among the mainstream media.
NBC News led its story this way:
A county commissioner who was convicted of taking nearly half a million dollars’ worth of bribes, including a stone-fired pizza oven; a tax attorney wrapped up in the “biggest tax fraud prosecution ever”; and the owner of a Detroit-area Medicare billing company who orchestrated a $26 million Medicare fraud.
CNN ran a story with this headline: “Victims ‘shocked’ after Biden grants clemency to ‘kids for cash’ judge and $54 million embezzler.”
The “kids for cash” judge refers to Michael Conahan, who was convicted of “funneling juveniles to for-profit detention centers in exchange for more than $2 million in kickbacks.” One of those juveniles committed suicide. Now we learn that Biden acted “without considering the specifics of his case.”
Pennsylvania’s Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro called it “absolutely wrong” and said Biden “created a lot of pain here in northeastern Pennsylvania.”
Meanwhile, Biden’s decision to auction off pieces of Donald Trump’s border wall – which had been sitting around for four years – will cost taxpayers twice. The government will collect pennies on the dollar for these parts, and then Trump will have to buy them again to finish the wall.
That’s a hefty price to pay to hamstring the next president.
(Fox News reported yesterday that Texas officials are planning to “buy and store border wall materials” and “give it to Donald Trump.”)
To further underscore Biden’s disdain for taxpayers, he’s instructed his people to spend as much money as they can in their final weeks because Trump has promised to rescind unspent funds for Biden boondoggles such as the Inflation Reduction Act.
Biden’s chief of staff Jeff Zients called it a “sprint to the finish line” to “get as much done as possible for the American people.”
We call it another stick in the eye of taxpayers.
Finally, there was Biden’s speech last week in which he once again cluelessly bragged about how great the economy has been on his watch – a claim that voters just overwhelmingly rejected – and repeated the lies that he’d “rescued” the economy and created “over 16 million new jobs.” Even the teleprompter couldn’t take it anymore and shorted out halfway through his speech.
News reports say Biden is trying to protect his legacy. We agree. He’s sealing his failures in amber.
