Six Weeks Until Our Long National Nightmare Is Over by Jeff Crouere

Americans, our long national nightmare, the Biden presidency, is almost over. First, we must endure six more weeks of damage that President Joe Biden will inflict on the American people.

Biden just gave Hunter, his son who was convicted on gun and tax evasion charges, an expansive 11-year pardon, after repeatedly promising he would not engage in such familial favoritism. Biden’s lies were so egregious that at a recent White House press briefing, CNN reporter MJ Lee asked a very pertinent question, “The next time that the president says he will or won’t do something, why should the American people believe him?”

Of course, the American people should never believe Biden, for he has been lying and plagiarizing his entire political career. For example, in the 1988 presidential race, Biden was forced to withdraw his candidacy after it was discovered he repeatedly plagiarized from the speeches of British political leader Neil Kinnock, among others.

Sadly, Hunter’s pardon will be just the beginning, for over the next six weeks, Biden will undoubtedly issue more controversial pardons. Some political observers speculate Biden could pardon other family members, such as his brother James.

He could also issue preemptive pardons for people who might face an investigation from the Trump Justice Department. This list includes Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) and former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney.

These pardons will only make the unpopular Biden more hated by the American people. According to a new poll by J.L. Partners, 52% of American voters believed it was “wrong” for Biden to pardon his son, while only 29% believed it was the “right” decision.

No wonder, another J.L. Partners poll, commissioned for The Daily Mail, ranked Biden as the worst American President in the last 47 years. Respondents ranked Biden worse than Jimmy Carter, a President who failed spectacularly, and Richard Nixon, a President embroiled in the Watergate scandal who was forced to resign.

Biden was ranked as one of the bottom two Presidents by 44% of the 1,006 registered voters who participated in the poll. In contrast, the poll results showed that Ronald Reagan was ranked as the best President of this era.

As a two-term President who won a 49-state re-election landslide in 1984, Reagan rebuilt our military, restored national pride, created millions of new jobs, reduced inflation and won the Cold War, by defeating the Soviet Union and their “Evil Empire.”

Unlike Reagan, Biden has decimated our military, which faces a recruiting crisis, created high inflation and interest rates with his unwise economic policies and endangered the security of our nation with his reckless mishandling of our southern border and our adversaries abroad.

From the embarrassing withdrawal of our troops in Afghanistan to his inability to stop wars in Ukraine and Gaza, Biden has been a disaster on the international stage. Unlike Reagan who projected “Peace Through Strength,” Biden continually conveys weakness, which invites war.

Not only has Biden made America weaker, both at home and overseas, but he is also physically and mentally weak. He is an unwell 82-year-old man, who should have retired from politics decades ago.

Last week, he visited Angola and fell asleep during a meeting of African leaders. This is not the image that the American people want to convey. Fortunately, our incoming President, Donald Trump, displays strength and will reverse the damage that Biden has done.

Sadly, we have six more weeks of the Biden agenda to withstand. Biden has already earned the title of the biggest spender in American history. When he started as President, our national debt was $27.7 trillion, but it has now reached $36.2 trillion, an increase of $8.5 trillion during his term.  

Our national debt equates to an astronomical $271,790 per taxpayer. Obviously, the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is desperately needed, but until Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can begin to cut spending, Biden will foolishly waste billions of dollars.

During his trip to Angola, Biden announced a gift of $1 billion in “humanitarian assistance.”  While there are tremendous needs in Africa, there are 200,000 victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina who were displaced from their homes. Many of these victims have been critical of the woeful response from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Focusing on “America First” was one of the major reasons President Trump was elected, but Biden seems to be more interested in funding Ukraine than in taking care of our citizens in need. He wants to send another $24 billion to Ukraine before he leaves office. This is in addition to the $4.65 billion loan to Ukraine that he forgave and the $61 billion aid package was approved in April.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) claimed that Biden’s actions will “sabotage President Trump’s peace negotiations.” Lee urged Congress to stop any more “funding demands” from Biden “on the way out the door.”

Congress needs to stand firm and prevent further damage from President Biden. His policies have already created an open border, a drug crisis, a floundering economy, and total international chaos.

Even the one so-called bright spot for Biden, job growth, is turning negative. In the latest jobs report, unemployment rose to 4.2%. Among native-born Americans, an astounding 215,000 jobs were lost and, over the last year, 1.1 million jobs were lost.

The 400,000 job gains in the last year were entirely due to an increase in foreign-born workers. As noted by E.J. Antoni, a Heritage Foundation Research Fellow, “Biden’s economic legacy, besides 40-year-high inflation and record debt, could perhaps best be described as transforming the American labor market into a temp agency for foreign workers and government bureaucrats.” He said that Biden “left behind blue collar America to import new blue voters.”

Fortunately, with President Trump, the border will be closed, the influx of foreign workers will stop, and the focus will return to where it should always be, the citizens of the United States.
