Atlanta, GA
January 17, 2025
A president usually needs to be away a while before we can digest the damage he’s done. But the outgoing executive started turning stomachs within a few weeks of arrival, and the dyspepsia persisted throughout his term.
So this morning we take our Ex-Lax, gulp our Milk of Magnesia, and try to pass the poison that’s been shoved down our throats.
More than an election is needed to relieve the blockage from whoever embalmed Joe Biden each day. The country needs an enema, and a plunger. Even in its waning days, this administration keeps trying to plug the pipes, excreting executive orders to prevent future plumbers from clearing its impediments.
Sinister and Stupid
If this wasn’t the worst presidency that didn’t invade American states or join a World War (despite its best efforts), it was clearly the most brazen and embarrassing. If it weren’t, then “Adolf Hitler” wouldn’t be returning to power.
It’s hard to believe an administration did this much damage in a single term. The incompetence and iniquity are astounding.
And it’s not as if the carnage was an accidental by-product of admirable intentions. The deprivation and destruction were proudly pronounced goals!
Politicians and bureaucrats once respected the rubes enough to at least euphemize their heinous policy or nefarious plans. This administration’s opinion of us was so low they didn’t have the decency to lie about their insidious intent.
The president scolded that he was “impatient” with us and identified millions of Americans as his enemy. We were told our medical decisions could be dictatorially decreed, that we must forgo reliable energy to calibrate “the climate”, that boondoggle subsidies would reduce inflation, that our freedom of movement could be repealed on a whim, that interminable trespassers must cross the border, that free speech was provisional, and if we resisted these perversions and privations we’d be targeted as “terrorists” and stripped of what remained of our rights.
Because of Putin.
The Biden regime was as sinister as it was stupid. Which is saying something. Thru its Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” and overt pressure on Tech companies, it unapologetically suppressed free speech. It affirmed the Justice Department as a criminal organization, weaponizing what passed for “the law” by unleashing the FBI on political opponents.
This regime harbored dangerous ideologues indistinguishable from French Jacobins or Russian Bolsheviks. Like these evil antecedents, those choreographing our crises layered overt tyranny with juvenile insanity.
As with most presidencies, Biden’s tried to impose its will and pick our pockets. But much more so than any other, this one savored the prospect of offending nature, mocking tradition, and poking a finger in normalcy’s eye. The whack-jobs it employed not only promoted weird psychoses of “woke” ideology; they insisted we all adopt them.
A Freak Show
In fairness (and to give benefit of the doubt), this demented president often had little clue what was going on. Like a deranged Roman emperor, he was an ornamental vegetable atop a basket of fruits.
This White House was a freak-show of transvestites, “public health” charlatans, economic witch doctors, ardent abortionists, sexual deviants, climate cultists, and geopolitical imbeciles who callously tempted destruction of the world.
And they’d have us believe that those who questioned their sanity were the ones who were crazy. Using a typical tactic of totalitarian minorities, they ostracized opposition by asserting that anyone not in the “majority” (which they naturally claimed to represent) is by definition “extreme.”
Long a senatorial shill for corporate cronies who use his home state as a legal base, Joe Biden has always relished his role as reliable windsock for a lucrative breeze. But he’s always been something of a clown…the creepy sort who scares the kids.
He’s the epitome of a political hack, the type who still refers to “bipartisanship” as if it were a compliment. Yet not since Lincoln has an administration waged such unrelenting war on so many Americans.
Like most politicians…especially those whose careers have coated the capital like toxic sludge atop a polluted pond…our current president has no principles. His allegiance is to the “elite”, and to whatever will expand his power or enhance his fortune.
A College Intern
We judge presidential performance by how well executives adhere to their oath of office. The list of duties is strictly limited and precisely defined. Anything done beyond these bounds is an impeachable offense.
Under this president, the entire Constitution was under attack. His administration treated each amendment as if it were a college intern at a congressional cocktail party.
The regime claimed to respect the First Amendment, while imploring its social media wing-men to wantonly violate it. The Second, Ninth, and Tenth were subjected to unapologetic assault, while the Fourth was molested by dictatorial decrees that routine transactions be monitored and novel pharmaceuticals coerced into every American arm.
The Biden Administration waged these wars since it came to office. Its first year was essentially a relentless onslaught against anyone questioning the absurd propaganda that face coverings, physical separation, and compulsory injections were essential to “defeat Covid” and lead a normal life.
In prepared speeches and off-the-cuff remarks, the president vilified those who dared make health decisions of which his handlers and sponsors disapproved. In an appalling address dripping with authoritarian condescension, he relinquished all constitutional pretense by ordering businesses of a certain size to require employees consume designated drugs.
The Supreme Court eventually reversed this odious outrage, but much damage was done. Millions either succumbed to medication they didn’t want, or sacrificed careers that they did.
As usual, the perpetrators suffered nothing, aside from being told they’d gone too far. No criminal charges or victim compensation would be forthcoming. It was like a thief being told to stop stealing, while being able to keep what he’d already taken.
Chancellor Sutler
But the robbery continued. Last year US government debt crested $36 trillion. Those drinks weren’t all on Biden’s tab. Several drunken spendthrifts preceded him to the bar.
The bill was “only” $6T when GW Bush entered office, doubled during his term, and then doubled again under Obama. Trump added the same debt in half the time, setting a dubious standard his successor seemed determined to exceed.
Boondoggles and giveaways like the CHIPS Act, Student Debt “forgiveness”, the Orwellian “Inflation Reduction Act”, the “migrant” invasion, and the Ukrainian laundromat perpetuated and exaggerated economic problems the government previously caused.
And while the regime spent unprecedented amounts of other Americans’ money, it deprived them of essentials by wasting wealth to impede Putin, pummel the Palestinians, and control “the climate.”
And they wondered why the plebs were upset?
As a good leader does, President Biden occasionally decided to address their concerns. In typical fashion, he did so by denouncing them.
A couple years ago, the president went to the place where sovereign states declared independence from a central authority. Outside the building where secession was proclaimed, Joe Biden personified why our ancestors resorted to that remedy.
He had the ring of a demented monarch denouncing his rivals. “MAGA Republicans” were the new “unvaccinated”: the latest enemy to replace the previous demon. They were veritable “traitors” and a threat to “democracy”, a term that’s rarely defined but that we’re supposed to assume is a secular sacrament.
Like Chancellor Sutler framed by praetorian guards, he declared war on millions of Americans who dared disagree with him. In essence, the “War on Terror” was turned inward. To help fight it, Biden beefed up the FBI, and hired more new IRS agents than there are soldiers in the British Army.
The Usual Suspects
As he invited civil war and economic collapse at home, he tempted nuclear conflict abroad. When temperatures fell across Europe, the US government turned up the heat. After provoking a Russian invasion of America’s Ukrainian satrapy, the Biden Administration did all it could to prolong the war. And to widen it.
The following winter, as fuel prices soared and the air began to chill, protests proliferated around Europe. When the weather is nice and pantries are full, self-righteous virtue is a luxury the economically illiterate can afford to indulge.
But when days shorten, snow falls, and food runs low, appetite for suicidal sanctions seems to weaken. To keep it from being satiated, terrorists blew up the feeding tubes.
You’d have to be a blithering idiot not to suspect the culprits worked for the Biden Administration. Biden warned that “we’d bring an end to” the Nord Stream pipeline if Russia invaded the Ukraine, and his Secretary of State celebrated “the tremendous opportunity” presented after the conduit was destroyed.
The usual suspects claimed (preposterously) that the Russians did it, which means the usual suspects are likely guilty. Russia had no incentive to destroy its own infrastructure, which it could simply have shut down to exercise leverage. After the pipe was blown up, that leverage was gone.
So too were many reasons for Europeans to abandon sanctions on Russia. This also benefited US LNG producers who could replace some of the lost gas with more expensive and cumbersome supplies from the states. That this reduced gas available to Americans is a consideration the administration made clear was not its concern.
What should be a concern is imbecilic escalation toward nuclear war. Not only did the Biden Administration do nothing to prevent such a catastrophe, it wantonly encouraged that unspeakable eventuality.
Bees in a Hive
Notwithstanding any Biden family money that flowed thru the Ukraine, this isn’t about a particular presidential puppet…whether in Washington or Kiev. It’s about the permanent State that pulls the strings.
It’s not the president who runs the show. After it became obvious to everyone that the current marionette was non compos mentis, this could no longer be camouflaged by Party bosses who’d orchestrated the charade.
These puppeteers aren’t “conspirators” in the “smoke-filled room” sense. They’re more like bees in a hive. They have inherent common interests, and act on mutual instinct.
They needn’t formally “agree” on what must be done any more than a pack of wolves decides it should devour a flock of sheep. Their only debates are how best to fleece the flock, and consume the carcasses. If they get their way, there’ll be plenty of them.
Of Biden, Barack Obama famously warned “not to underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up”. Upon surveying the carnage as the curtain closes, it seems impossible to have done anything else.

You nailed it JD!
Great piece. The thing that worries me is that these evil imbeciles still have 3 days left to wreak their carnage.
