Bye-Bye Biden: The Departure of America’s
Worst President
Posted By: Hazymac, 1/21/2025 10:10:17 AM
In two earlier pieces for Townhall (here and here), I’ve sounded warnings for the Biden administration: Unless something changes, President Biden will be ranked as among America’s worst chief executives. And this is not only according to the Constitution’s job description, a measure conservatives might use to assess presidents. It also is true according to indicators left-of-center academics employ to raise the rankings of presidents whose policies they like and suppress the rankings of presidents they don’t like. Like nearly all deficient presidents, Biden served only one term. He is now mercifully gone. But his actions during his final days will cement his low rating.

Colbert Wants to Get Fired
14 replies
Colbert and his allies in the Pravda Media/entertainment complex--along with Democrats--are insisting that the former funnyman was fired at the behest of President Trump.
The accusation is absurd. You can't lose tens of millions of dollars a year and expect to keep your $15 million a year job. The math doesn't work.
But, as we know, propaganda works with people who want to believe it. All you need is an authoritative voice to say the most absurd things, and people inclined to believe it, will. Even many who do not start out believing it come to do so, based on the "when there is smoke, there's fire principle.
The press briefing at the James Brady room of the White House Wednesday was a real banger. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, methodically walked through the House Majority Intelligence Report on the shenanigans we all had speculated about for the past eight-plus years and privately knew deep down. Gabbard had the receipts, and it wasn't pretty.
For a little over ten minutes after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt turned over the podium to the DNI, Gabbard detailed involvement of former President Barack Obama, disturbing information about the health, or lack thereof, of former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton,
Now that investigations into the autopen presidency are underway, left-leaning media and Democratic politicians are finally confronted with the truth that was right in front of our faces for years: Joe Biden was not running the country, and America was being led by an unelected, unaccountable polit-bureau.
Every week we learn more that makes the long national nightmare we endured even worse. Now, thanks to the New York Times, of all places, we learn that Joe Biden couldn’t even manage the task of signing his own name on pardons of violent and dangerous criminals, and at best, only knew of categories of those being pardoned.
President Biden was forced to bow out
Man accused of hurling concrete blocks

at CBP cars in Paramount arrested at US-Mexico border 11 replies
PARAMOUNT, Calif. - A Compton man who allegedly threw concrete blocks at federal officers in Paramount in June was taken into custody Wednesday morning at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
What we know:
Elpidio Reyna, 39, of Compton, was arrested at the San Ysidro Port of Entry by FBI agents, with assistance from U.S. Customs & Border Protection.
Reyna was wanted in connection with an alleged assault on a federal officer in Paramount on June 7. On that day, Border Patrol had set up a staging area when they were confronted by protesters. Agitators then started throwing what was later determined by the FBI to be
Democrat Power Depends upon Open Borders
6 replies
The Democrat party’s caterwauling over illegal alien roundups becomes only more shrill by the day. Last week, California politicians were very upset that federal agents had the temerity to disrupt the workings of a marijuana farm exploiting children for its labor.
It’s always a bit jarring to see what card-carrying members of the Democrats’ premier virtue-signaling club will find worthy of their righteous indignation. Many rational observers couldn’t have guessed that Democrats would pull out all the stops to shill for “child slavery.” Of course, there was also a time when rational observers could never have guessed that Democrats would
Where are the Blue Dog Democrats?

There's a meme that resurfaces on social media from time to time. It says, "If a Democrat from the 1960s were to appear today, he'd be considered a conservative. If a Democrat from today were to be transported to the 1960s, he'd be considered a dangerous lunatic."
Truer words were never spoken. Once upon a time the Democrat party defended blue-collar workers, the poor, and the middle class. Not that long ago BJ Clinton and Hussein Obama spoke about the necessity of securing the border. And very recently a rallying cry on the Left was, "No one is above the law."
Times have changed. Quinnipiac now tells
California Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed that he did not want to bulldoze the remains of burned-down Palisades houses and replace them with low-income housing. But that is apparently exactly what he’s doing now, with the help of the California legislature—and Donald Trump’s special missions envoy is furious.
Richard Grenell accused Newsom of lying about his fire recovery goals. Newsom had scoffed, “The claim that the Governor wants to bulldoze fire victims’ neighborhoods and replace them with ‘affordable housing’ is absurd.” But he just announced over $100 million for building low-income housing in the area of the Palisades and other burned areas, as a bill moves through the California
Can We Get Out of This Without a Civil War?

America is in crisis, with the left battling the ascendant right, a clash of visions between a socialist nightmare in which America becomes either a feudal, feral combination of California and a communist college campus or we re-make it into something like the glorious, golden country it once was. How does all this end? Leftists in America— and the Democrats are a leftist party that is eagerly embracing admitted communists— seem to be under the impression that normal patriotic Americans have no right to engage in their own self-governance. That’s unsustainable. We’re not giving up our self-determination. The question is whether America resolves this peacefully,
The only question remaining is, has the moving finger irrevocably moved on?
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
– The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Stanza 71, Translated by Edward FitzGerald
Numerous authors are opining on the validity or invalidity of the pardons issued under the autopen signature of the invalid who was housed in the White House for the better part of four years (when he wasn’t on the beach with his ice cream cone). Andrea Widburg has ably discussed this issue as illuminated by Biden’s interview
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday afternoon, July 16 that Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar for its soda beverages sold in the U.S.
"I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!"
USA TODAY has reached out to Coca-Cola for confirmation on the president's announcement. A spokesperson for the company told Reuters the Atlanta-based company will share details on new offerings
The Free Beacon: “No equal on the left”
8 replies
Jill Abramson is the former executive editor of the New York Times. She now teaches journalism at Northeastern University and is a contributing opinion columnist for the Boston Globe. Yesterday the Globe carried her column on the Washington Free Beacon under the headline “The conservative weapon bringing down university presidents and law reviews.” Subhead: “The Washington Free Beacon is publishing scoops that have left blood on the floor at Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Duke, and other prestigious corners of academia.”
I'm sorry, y'all.
I can't crack on this greasy, pathetic sleazeball enough.
But this post will not be dedicated to skewering oleaginous California Governor Gavin 'Randall-Flagg Lite' Newsom for being a complete slime whose propensity for lying and manipulative subterfuge gives pondscum a bad rap. (X) (As I said last week - y'all got took.)
No.
No.
This is going to be a little different approach to tweaking twitchy Twinkle Teeth.
Let's call it a lighthearted romp through the evidence of what a frickin' freakazoid he really is - if you can stand to take two seconds to watch him in action.
I mean eyeballs on the man, watch.
His mannerisms are...unsettling.

to pay climate reparations to poorer countries 46 replies
Wealthy nations that fail to limit their fossil fuel use and reduce pollution could be held financially liable by countries most affected by climate change, says the United Nations' top court in a new opinion issued Wednesday. The 15-judge International Court of Justice (ICJ), based in The Hague, Netherlands, concluded that international treaties require developed countries to curb global warming and oversee the climate impact of companies operating under their jurisdiction.[snip] The court’s finding extends legal responsibility beyond governments to include private corporations operating within national borders.
What's the only gear a French car has? Reverse.
That's an old joke that I remember an uncle telling many years ago, and it's evergreen. Amid the rise of Islamist influence across the world, specifically in Western countries, France has decided to do what it does best: Preemptively surrender.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that he and his nation will formally recognize a "Palestinian State," rewarding the murderous terrorists who still control Gaza and the West Bank. That will officially take place at the UN General Assembly, set to happen in September. Hamas was quick to take advantage, thanking Macron

announcing her move from California to Tennessee 25 replies
Lynsi Snyder, president and owner of In-N-Out, is speaking out after social media users criticized her for comments she made about the chain's home state of California. Snyder, 43, issued a statement on July 22 after making critical comments about "The Golden State" when discussing her family's move to Tennessee, where In-N-Out is also slated to open an eastern office to "support our growth." (Snip) The backlash began shortly after Snyder, who has been in charge of the burger empire since 2010, made complaints about living and doing business in California in a recent interview. "Like you said, there's a
Can Private Donors Keep NPR and PBS Afloat?
24 replies
It's striking how similar NPR's situation is to that of Planned Parenthood. Both organizations have an affiliate model and both just had a lot of federal money cut from their budgets. That means both are now hoping to find new sources of funding to keep the doors open. The NY Times reports there has been an increase in donations to PBS and NPR but so far the amount isn't nearly enough to offset the cuts.
Over the last three months, as the prospect of the cuts intensified, roughly 120,000 new donors have contributed an estimated $20 million in annual value,
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) drew widespread mockery Thursday over a since-deleted social media post that showed how the cost of groceries skyrocketed under former President Joe Biden.
The X post included a graph of soaring cheese, alcohol, dairy, grocery, produce and meat prices dating back to October 2019, with the major inflection point being near the start of the Biden administration in 2021.
“Trump’s America,” read the tweet shared by @TheDemocrats.
“Prices are higher today than they were on July 2024 all in major categories listed below,” read the caption on the graphic, which did not note the source of the data.
I suspected that this was the case, and even said so in a recent radio interview.
But I have been very reluctant to write about it because I am not a lawyer, so I can only use my common sense and layman's understanding of the law in what must be a very, very complex question.
But Trump, who certainly has access to excellent legal advice, has just said that Obama has immunity from prosecution for any crimes he may have committed in conspiring to use falsified intelligence to undermine Trump's presidency, set up a phony impeachment, and perhaps put Trump in jail.
Zohran Mamdani and Islamic immigration
15 replies
Unpopular opinion: all Muslim immigration should come to an end. When President Trump first called for a pause in Muslim migration he was met with hysteria. Yet despite the hysteria has Islamic immigration truly enhanced and contributed to this country? The answer is undoubtedly "no." Zohran Mamdani proves that while not all Islamic immigrants are terrorists, their values are not in line with America.
Zohran Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and became an American citizen just seven years ago, is a cautionary tale of the dangers of third-world Muslim immigration. Despite having benefited from the American dream, all he can seem to do is advocate for anti-American ideology.
You can almost hear the death rattle emanating from Media Matters for America (MMFA), the unofficial (wink-wink) media arm of the Democrat Party, which unironically calls itself the "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."
From the New York Times:
The organization, which is funded by some of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, has racked up about $15 million in legal fees over the past 20 months to defend itself against lawsuits by Elon Musk, in addition to investigations by Mr. Trump’s Federal Trade Commission and Republican state attorneys general.
Two siblings in Eastpointe, Michigan, are facing multiple charges related to a shooting near a Foot Locker store that occurred on May 3.
The altercation left two people dead and one seriously injured.
At around 2:50 p.m., Lakylia Taylor (19) and her brother Dejuan Taylor (21) arrived at the Foot Locker parking lot with some friends. After exiting the vehicle they began walking toward the store when they came across a Jeep Compass parked nearby. This vehicle contained another group of young men.
Tyjaune Pierre Morrs-Turner emerged from the Jeep with three others carrying a handgun and got into an argument with Dejuan. The verbal dispute soon turned physical,
There aren't many things out there that will make a grown man tear up. Watching 32,000-pound fighter jets fly by in full afterburner with "God Bless the U.S.A." playing in the background is one of them.
The Navy's Blue Angels have been a staple of Americana for decades, thrilling audiences and bestowing a sense of national pride like few others can. The first time I saw them at an air show as a child, I was mesmerized. The low passes and the tight formations were incredible, and the sound of freedom was unforgettable.

A federal judge refused Friday to invalidate the state, city and county laws designed to protect undocumented immigrants in Chicago by prohibiting local law enforcement officials from helping federal agents, tossing a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump. U.S. District Court Judge Lindsey Jenkins’ decision to grant Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice without holding a full trial is a major win for officials seeking to prevent federal officials from slashing billions of dollars in federal aid to Chicago and Illinois.
