The Broadside | Let Dem Charades Begin!

Confirmation hearings are underway with Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, being first out of the gate. I watched the whole thing yesterday, the first time I’ve sat through an entire Senate hearing. This one was conducted by the Senate Armed Services Committee.

He started his opening statement with a strong affirmation of his faith.

Thank you to my incredible wife Jennifer, who has changed my life and been with me throughout this entire process. I love you, sweetheart, and I thank God for you. And as Jenny and I pray together each morning, all glory — regardless of the outcome — belongs to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His grace and mercy abound each day. May His will be done.

No ambiguous acknowledgement of “God” here. Anyone who has had an encounter with Jesus will readily acknowledge Him. As the hearing went on, it became clear that Hegseth humbly recognized his need for forgiveness and redemption from some poor choices in the past.

In fact, it was also clear that there were two different groups sitting on the dais—the group who suddenly found that “character” mattered and went after him for statements he made about women in the military, anonymous accusations about alcohol abuse, and sexual indiscretions.

That would be the Democrats, and Democrat women in particular. It sounded a lot like this (one of the funniest videos I’ve seen of the proceedings):

It didn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that it was all grandstanding political theater with a goal to smear his name while taking out their anger on him because they know he has the necessary support to be confirmed. With only a couple of exceptions, including a Democrat who said Hegseth’s lack of experience in running a large organization disqualified him for the role, Dems basically dragged him through the mud.

Conversely, during his opening statement, Hegseth talked about how, if confirmed, he would focus on high standards, lethality, meritocracy, and readiness. Our military is clearly no longer the most lethal fighting force in the world, with China in particular being at or beyond parity.

Both Obama and Biden began degrading our military readiness by injecting DEI and other woke priorities (CRT) into the system. Hegseth vowed to pull it out “root and branch.”

I don’t know Pete Hegseth, so I’m not in any position to judge the man. He sounds like someone who would prefer not to have women in combat positions (I agree with that) but said that women would be welcome in all roles as long as they were held to gender neutral “high standards.” If the Pentagon under Hegseth raises or strengthens its standards, it’s likely that many (most?) women won’t qualify for combat roles.

Cue the tears.

Stephen Kruiser at PJ Media writes:

One of the saddest recurring cries for help on Tuesday was listening to some of the Dems complain about the fact that Hegseth declined to meet with them prior to the hearing. More precisely, Hegseth ignored them. The implication was that they may have thought more highly of him had he paid them a little attention. That’s patently absurd, of course, and Hegseth knows that. They’re dealing in bad faith and no Republican ever need indulge their foot-stomping attempts to make it all about them.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said that Hegseth has the votes to be confirmed as the next Secretary of Defense. The Dems’ desperation on Tuesday leads me to believe that’s true.

What I heard, I liked. Let’s hope all of Trump’s nominees are as successful as Hegseth seems to have been.

The Broadside | Delusional Old Man Had Perfect Administration

Only 7 more days until Trump becomes your president.

Joe Biden is winding down his pathetic residency with spectacular delusions of grandeur (link warning: NYT).

“Right now, in my view, thanks to our administration, the United States is winning the worldwide competition,” Mr. Biden said. “Compared to four years ago, America is stronger, our alliances are stronger, our adversaries and competitors are weaker. And we have not gone to war to make these things happen.”

https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1878886631333400932

Biden has always fancied himself an expert on international strategery. But he’s been an abject failure during his whole grifting career, and particularly as Resident when it comes to the U.S. being a stabilizing force in the world.

From Bonchie over at RedState:

Since Biden took office, China has grown the size of its military and expanded its political influence across the globe, from the South China Sea to Africa and even South America. As to Russia, one could argue their military resources have been depleted fighting Ukraine, but they are still currently invading Europe with no peace deal in sight. The only major American adversary that is objectively weaker in 2025 is Iran, though one could argue they are still more powerful today than before Biden lifted the crushing Trump-era sanctions that had the Islamist nation nearing collapse.

Here’s the kicker, though. Nothing Biden did led to any present-day weakening of Iran. The destruction of Iran’s proxies in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza happened because Israel ignored every red line the Biden administration set in terms of military action.

Biden’s speech is a first in a parade of addresses that he’ll give this week on his way out the door. He—or more accurately, his speech writers—is trying to frame the narrative for how he’ll be remembered. And he’s doing it in true Democrat style: by lying about his record.

I’ll remember him as a destructive wannabe tyrant who posed as a badass while demonizing half the country.

As Bonchie concludes:

Biden has been arguably the most destructive president in modern history, with only President Jimmy Carter giving him any competition. He can try to give these triumphant speeches on his way out the door, but Americans know the truth. He is a petty, hopelessly stubborn failure of a leader, and he can’t leave the White House soon enough. 

Only a week to go.

The Broadside | Trust is a Diminished Currency

I grew up trusting the authorities. I was taught to respect my elders. I was told that I could always confide in a policeman if I needed help. We took ABC, CBS and NBC news anchors at their word. I trusted that pastors and professors and business owners and scientists and our political leaders had our best interests in mind.

It took a third of my life to disabuse me of my naïveté and I still catch myself uncritically accepting what I’m told by “the authorities.”

I bring this up because I remember hearing about the “snail darter,” a small, endangered fish that shut down Tennessee’s Tellico Dam in the 1970s, when I was a kid.

In the annals of environmental law, no creature is more famous than the Snail Darter, the endangered species that shut down completion of the Tellico Dam in the 1970s. It required congressional legislation to allow the dam to be finished after years in the courts where judges maintained that the species had to be protected under the Endangered Species Act. According to the New York Times., the species may turn out to be as mythical as a unicorn.

The controversy began in 1967 when the Tennessee Valley Authority started constructing a dam on the Little Tennessee River, roughly 20 miles outside Knoxville. Environmentalists and locals opposed the project and, in 1973, a zoologist at the University of Tennessee named David Etnier went snorkeling with his students and found a possible solution. He spotted a small fish and called it a “snail darter” because of its movements and eating habits. He reportedly announced “Here’s a little fish that might save your farm.”

Dr. Zygmunt Plater, an environmental law professor at Boston College, represented the snail darter before the Supreme Court. He did an excellent job and, in 1978, the Supreme Court ruled that “the Endangered Species Act prohibits impoundment of the Little Tennessee River by the Tellico Dam” to protect the endangered snail darters.

That was then.

The Times now quotes Thomas Near, the curator of ichthyology at the Yale Peabody Museum who leads a fish biology lab at the university, that “there is, technically, no snail darter.” Worse yet, it was actually just another member of the eastern population of Percina uranidea, or stargazing darters, which is not considered endangered.

Near and his colleagues have published the results in Current Biology.

In other words, years of litigation and millions of dollars were spent on what was a false claim, and the courts accepted the claims hook, line, and sinker.

Got that? Some eco-nuts found a fish and labeled it “endangered” for purely political purposes. In other words, they lied. All these years later, we find out that it was a faked crisis.

Sort of like the January 6 “insurrection” narrative.

Then there’s this:

A newly released systematic review and meta-analysis of past studies found a link between fluoride levels and IQ in children.

A comprehensive federal analysis of scores of previous studies, published this week in JAMA Pediatrics, has added to those concerns. It found a significant inverse relationship between exposure levels and cognitive function in children.

Higher fluoride exposures were linked to lower I.Q. scores, concluded researchers working for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

None of the studies included in the analysis were conducted in the United States, where recommended fluoridation levels in drinking water are very low. At those amounts, evidence was too limited to draw definitive conclusions.

Observational studies cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Yet in countries with much higher levels of fluoridation, the analysis also found evidence of what scientists call a dose-response relationship, with I.Q. scores falling in lock step with increasing fluoride exposure…

For every one part per million increase in fluoride in urinary samples, which reflect total exposures from water and other sources, I.Q. points in children decreased by 1.63, the analysis found.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is a vocal opponent of fluoride in our drinking water and is considered outside the mainstream on this (and many other) health-related issue. But who is “mainstream” and what makes them “mainstream”? Well, if you’re considered an authority, and you agree with the generally accepted consensus, you’re “mainstream.”

Fluoride is one of those things where I’ve trusted that experts have our best interests in mind and would never recommend something that would harm the people.

Would they?

Of course they would! Covid-19 vaccinations, anyone?

So, there are two examples of the government getting it wrong (for sure in the case of the “Snail Darter” and now, more credibly, perhaps in the case of fluoride).

But, then again, why should I trust the new “experts”?

Our expert class has lied to us so often about matters so important that they no longer have my trust. I don’t believe a word that Democrats say, as I explained here. I sure as heck don’t trust the mainstream media. I don’t trust my physician because I know he’s incentivized to get me on medications. I don’t trust my mechanic because he tries to upsell me on things I know nothing about (do I really need the air filter changed right now?). I don’t trust the public schools because they’ve become progressive indoctrination centers filled with grifters (apologies to those few good teachers who make it a labor of love).

It takes a lot of effort to remain skeptical, to always be on guard.

Micah 7:2-3 expresses my disappointment.

The faithful have been swept from the land;
    not one upright person remains.
Everyone lies in wait to shed blood;
    they hunt each other with nets.
Both hands are skilled in doing evil;
    the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,
    the powerful dictate what they desire—
    they all conspire together.

The only one you can trust is God.

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9

Have a great weekend.

The Broadside | Five Dead in California Wildfires Blazing Out of Control

The biggest story of the current news cycle is that California is on fire.

As of Wednesday afternoon, authorities estimated the Palisades and Eaton fires had grown to 26,000 acres combined. The Palisades fire (15,000 acres) is burning in a neighborhood on the west side of Los Angeles while the Eaton firing is burning on the north side of Pasadena.

Five people have been killed.

Lots of blame going around, including Gov. Gavin Newsome (Nancy Pelosi’s nephew) boasting about knocking down four dams and emptying reservoirs over the last couple of years on the Klamath River, which was the result of pressure from Indian tribes.

“The tribally led effort to dismantle the dams is an expression of our sacred duty to maintain balance in the world. That is why we fought so hard for so long to tear down the dams and bring the salmon home.” – Yurok Tribal Chairman Joseph L. James

No water to fight wildfires, but hey, yay for the salmon!

I personally think that the victim matrix has caused too much trouble and that Indian tribes, while noble and unique, should not have the influence they do across this country (Keystone Pipeline, anyone?). Europeans conquered them and they should just be “American” now, just like someone with a Polish or Italian or Ukranian heritage can be American while honoring their ancestry in their personal lives.

I know that sounds harsh, but that’s the way of the world. We don’t find other countries (do we?) bending over backward to give segments of their population preferential treatment because of past offences.

Another contribution to the current disaster unfolding in California is the lack of forest management, which allowed undergrowth and brush to accumulate and become fuel for a fire that is being fed by 60 mile-an-hour winds. The reason for that? “California has been captured by radical environmentalists.”

But you will notice that in recent years, the acres burned have been creeping upward, although nowhere near the level of decades ago. Why is that? If you pay attention, headlines about out of control wildfires are, these, days, generally–I am tempted to say, almost always–from California. Most other states have continued to follow sound forest management practices, while California has been captured by radical environmentalists. The result? More wildfires in California.

So Trump likely is right with regard to the water restoration act to which he refers. Beyond that, liberal control of California, as currently manifested in Gavin Newsom, has been responsible for increased wildfires at a time when globally, wildfires are at an all-time low, and in the U.S., they are down dramatically from 80 years ago.

Oh, and add in the $17.5 million budget cut LA Mayor Karen Bass made to Fire Department spending last year and spent it instead on homelessness. She was on a junket to Ghana while wildfires burned out of control across her jurisdiction and 130,000 people are being evacuated.

Now, top it all off with LGBTQ female Los Angeles fire chief, Kristin Crowley, prioritizing DEI training over preparing for wildfires.

‘In recent years LA’s fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority. but diversity,’ [Megyn Kelly] fumed on The Megyn Kelly Show. ‘Diversity is at least among the top priorities for the Department.’

She referenced an interview in which Crowley expressed her desire to boost the number of women and LGBTQ+ people in the fire service.

Of course, Trump had something to say about the disaster, too.

California has a political dumpster fire for years now, but now it’s a real-life dumpster fire—as a result of its political one. I hope no one else dies in this predictable inferno, but the reality is that you get what you vote for. And Californians are getting it good and hard.

The Broadside | Make America Dominant Again

I have to laugh at how different our politics is now that Trump has been elected and confirmed by Congress as the next president of the United States. There is for sure a “Trump effect” taking place and momentum has shifted to the populist right.

Trump is already kicking up dust around the world and no one knows whether he’s being serious.

He called Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau a “governor” and suggested that Canada become the 51st state. This was after threatening to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian imports and complaining about the $200 billion the U.S. gives to Canada each year, with nothing to show for it. Suddenly, Trudeau is resigning and calling for new elections.

Trump is also renewing his call for the U.S. to own Greenland, currently an autonomous territory of Denmark, who has controlled the island since 1933. Don Jr. (and Charlie Kirk) visited Greenland yesterday and were greeted by a crowd wearing MAGA hats and cheering his arrival. President-in-waiting Trump spoke to a group of Greenlanders in a restaurant by phone.

Why Trump’s interest? As he put it in a 72-minute press conference yesterday, national security for the U.S. and the western world. He said that Chinese and Russian ships are seen in the North Atlantic and that “we’re not going to allow that.” Also (most likely) he wants to control access to the estimated 110 billion barrels of oil and deposits of rare earth minerals that would help the US compete against China (which leads the world in mining rare earth minerals).

Neither Canada nor Denmark are warming to the idea.

Trump has also said that he wants the Panama Canal back. We built it and then gave it back to that country (thanks Jimmy Carter!), and now China controls both ends of the canal. Panama was supposed to control it and the US was supposed to have a preferred status.

In the cases of both Greenland and the Panama Canal, Trump said during his presser that he wouldn’t rule out military force to take control.

Then Trump announced that he wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” Nobody knows whether he can do that or not, but it sure is an interesting idea.

What is Trump doing? Is he serious?

As the current puppet in the White House would say, “Not a joke, man.”

What Trump is asserting, even for those things that might seem a bit far-fetched, is American dominance in the western hemisphere (again).

If we “got” Greenland, merged with Canada, and renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and regained control over the Panama Canal, the entire North American continent would be one big American footprint twice the size of China and half the size of Russia.

Talk about influence.

Trump wants to expand America’s presence and place a check on the baddies in Central America and our enemies in Asia, just over the horizon at the top of the globe.

Will he do it? Who knows. I’m just enjoying the show and can’t wait to see what actually happens.

Ther Broadside | It’s the Day Kamala Will Certify Her Defeat

So many things to pay attention to.

Terrorist attack in New Orleans. Truck “bomb” in Las Vegas.

Gratuitous national awards to anti-Americans.

January 6 prisoners in the Garland Archipelago.

“Groomer” gangs protected in Britain.

The resignation of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

The re-election of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House.

Today, though, Kamala Harris will be called upon to certify the results of the 2024 election. The election she lost. She’ll join Nixon, Humphrey, and Gore in certifying her own defeat to the man she called a “fascist.”

Vice President Kamala Harris will join the company of vice presidents who have launched a bid for the White House — and who have had to certify their own loss.

The big picture: The founders’ framework of entrusting the affirmation of electoral votes to the vice president lays out a tricky dynamic for the men (and now, women) who must oversee the announcement of their defeat.

  • On January 6, 2025, members of the newly sworn-in Congress will count ballots to certify the election results.
  • They will operate under the updated Electoral Count Act, which makes clear the vice president is there only to announce the results.

Driving the news: Harris will officially declare her loss to former President Trump, now turned president-elect, as part of her role as the president of the Senate, a chamber that will soon flip red.

  • The twelfth amendment instructs that the “President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.”

As the Daily Mail puts it, “The process is usually a formality, a final round of vote tallying and the last step in the process of electing a new administration.”

Some are gloating about the humiliation that Harris will feel. Not me. I just want her to do her job and then pack her things.

Then we can get to work on what Julie Kelly (always a must read!) calls “a real insurrection.”

Trump won in decisive fashion as the majority of Americans sent a big middle finger tied to a wrecking ball to the halls of power in Washington. The failures of the Biden regime unquestionably contributed to Trump’s victory but so too did the relentless pursuit of the president, his family, his allies, his businesses, and his voters.

The January 6 operation backfired in a spectacular way. Instead of representing one of the darkest days in history, January 6 to millions of Americans instead embodies the corrupt, bloodthirsty, and vengeful nature of the existing government and its media bootlickers, which foreshadowed the sort of banana republic-style rule seen in Marxist hellholes not in the United States.

And voters acted accordingly at the ballot box.

So Monday, January 6, 2025 signals the start of a real insurrection, which is defined as a “revolt against civil authority or an established government” not an unarmed and at points unruly demonstration inside a government building on a Wednesday afternoon.

January 20 can’t come soon enough.

The Broadside | The Anti-Americans Running Joe Biden’s Brain Relentlessly Poke Patriots in the Eye on Their Way Out the Door

Biden to give fake Republican Liz Cheney Presidential Citizens Medal.

Jan. 2 (UPI) — President Joe Biden honored former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney and Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairs of the January 6 Special Committee, with Presidential Citizens Medals along with 18 others.

Established in 1969 and recognized as the second-highest civilian award from the U.S. government, the Presidential Citizens Medal recognizes individuals who perform exemplary deeds of service for their country or fellow citizens.

Selling out your party to sit at the big kids’ table counts as “exemplary.”

From CBS “News”:

In its announcement of the recipients of the Presidential Citizens Medal, the White House said that throughout Cheney’s 20 years in public service, Cheney “has raised her voice — and reached across the aisle—to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency. Her integrity and intrepidness remind us all what is possible if we work together.

Cheney became an ardent opponent of Trump following the 2020 election and endorsed Harris for president.

“Working together” only counts, you see, if you work with Democrats against Republicans.

This award smacks of how I feel about the Grammys and the Oscars and any other program in which an industry votes for its favorites, then sits and applauds their choices.

Biden also bestowed medals on former Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn.; former Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del.; former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan.; former Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J., who starred in the NBA in addition to having a political career; and former Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y.

Other recipients include Mary Bonauto, who argued for same-sex marriage in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in the Obergefell case and former Army nurse Diane Carlson Evans.

Others include medical war innovator Frank Butler, Jr.; war photographer Bobb Sager, woman’s rights advocate Eleanor Smeal, Vietnam veteran Thomas Vallely, National Breast Cancer Coalition President Frances Visco, educator Paula Wallace, and marriage equality advocate Evan Wolfson.

Mitsuye Endo Tsutsumi, who was an internment camp detainee during World War II, was recognized posthumously. Reporter Joseph Galloway, civil rights advocate Louis Lorenzo Redding, Delaware Judge Collins J. Seitz were also recognized posthumously.

All Democrat “public servants” and representatives of progressive hobbyhorses like same-sex mirage (Doug Wilson). Such a balanced cross section of America!

Of course, the real prize is when Biden preemptively pardons Cheney and the others who sat on the January 6 Committee and politicized an obvious false flag operation to chill opposition to the ruling elites’ accumulation of power.

You didn’t think a new year would bring change to their agenda, did you?

Have a good weekend.

The Broadside | We’re Off to a Mostly Peaceful but Fiery Start

I for one have been waiting for a terrorist attack within the US since the fools who lead our nation chose to erase any sense of a border after “winning” the White House in 2020.

Expectations met.

We got two of them on the first day of the new year, but they don’t seem to have been carried out by foreigners. In fact, one of them seems to have been a weak attempt at “sending a message” to Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk.

The first in the early morning hours in New Orleans yesterday was suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, using a truck to mow down pedestrians on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. Fifteen people were killed while at least 35 were injured (some severely). Jabbar seems to have been a radicalized Islamist who was born and raised in the U.S. and spent time in the military. The EV pickup truck he drove had a black ISIS flag waving from the rear.

The FBI initially claimed that it wasn’t a terrorist attack and studiously used the term “event” in an early briefing. It later changed its assessment to definitely a terrorist attack and that Jabbar may have had accomplices, although that too, was later ruled out.

Don’t doubt the pronouncements of the FBI, Jack!

Jabbar’s brother defended Islam.

The brother of the terrorist who launched the deadly car attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans says that “radicalization” is to blame for his kin’s rampage.

Abdur Jabbar, 24, of Beaumont, Texas, told The New York Times that his brother Shasmud-Din Jabbar — who killed at least 15 people in the New Year’s Day attack — converted to Islam at an early age.

The younger Jabbar told the newspaper that what his brother “did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”

Either he doesn’t know his brother, or he doesn’t know Islam.

The other attack, outside the lobby of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas around 9:00 AM, only killed the driver of a Tesla Cyber Truck. The blast was caused by what seems to have been a mixture of flammable camping fuel and large “mortar” style fireworks. The chassis of the truck is so solid that it contained the blast and forced it upward rather than outward.

Seven others were injured in the attack.

The similarities between the two incidents are that both used an electric vehicle, and both vehicles were acquired using the Turo app. The Turo app allows customers to rent a vehicle peer-to-peer from a private individual.

The Turo app used to rent two different EVs which were used in two different attacks could just be coincidence. Or it could point to coordination and a larger conspiracy.

It’s an unfortunate way to kick off the new year. If this is how the year has started, there may be more to come.

We really need Trump to be inaugurated and to get his team confirmed and in place.

The Broadside | The Biggest Scandal of the American Presidency

It’s December 31, the last day of 2024—a year that, like all others, will never be again. And, later tonight, we’ll welcome 2025.

Only 21 days until the next major holiday: Trump’s second inauguration. Thankfully, that will also be the last of the disastrous Biden Residency.

Up until Brandon, the worst president in US history was the 39th, James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, who died Sunday at age 100. While he was a life-long Baptist and taught Sunday School at his home church, he was decidedly anti-Semitic and no friend of Israel. Yes, he worked a peace deal with Israel and Egypt (the Camp David Accords) but he meddled in the Middle East and Far East, was friend to Yassir Arafat of the PLO and Hafez al-Assad of Syria and denied that Trump won the election in 2016 because of Russia, Russia, Russia. I won’t belabor the point, but Carter was not a good president, and apart from his humanitarian work with Habitat for Humanity, which was admirable, he wasn’t a great former president, either. For good summaries, read here and here.

Fortunately for him, Carter will go down as only the second-worst president in history, saved from the top spot by Joe Biden and, according to the internal polling of me, myself and I, followed by Barack Hussein Obama and Woodrow Wilson.

The nasty, blithering fool who heads the Biden crime family will leave office with instability in the Middle East (Israel, Iran, Syria and Lebanon), central Asia (Russia and Ukraine) and the Far East (China and Taiwan); inflation and a failing economy, along with a self-induced foreign invasion at home; and his personal and political corruption as one of the most venal reprobates to ever hold office.

The only reason Biden survived as he has is because his family, his administration and the press all covered up and denied his frail physical shell and lack of mental cognition for all four years of his “presidency.”

Got that? All four years, as the Wall Street Journal’s extensive December exposé reported. The bottom line is that at no time was Joe Biden mentally fit for the presidency, and the Democrats all LIED TO US ABOUT IT.

Your Democrat party, America!

I’ve said for years that lying is the Democrats’ native language. It’s like what Jesus said to the Pharisees in John 8:44:

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The cover up and denial of Joe Biden’s mental incapacity has got to be the greatest scandal of the American presidency in the history of our republic. We “elect” a man to lead our country, but a cabal of unelected officials have run us into the ground over the last four years. Biden was a cypher, an empty suit, a poser, a figurehead, a distraction. He was “president” in title only.

There should be a scorched earth investigation and heads should roll so that this never happens again.

But there won’t be any repercussions. Congress will shrug and go on their way, even though they were lied to for four years straight. Even though we could see with our own eyes that Biden wasn’t fit.

Our most recent national nightmare is about to be over. Biden will go off to the beach, where he’s spent 40 percent of his Residency, and enjoy his ice cream, bought with the millions he got from the Chinese, Russians and Ukrainians.

And Trump will be sworn in on January 20th, 2025, to begin the work of cleaning up the mess left by the most anti-American administration in history.
