Lame duck legacy

If there is such a thing as a sentimental moment at a political convention, President Joe Biden attempted such a ruse at the Democrat National Convention back in August when he recited from the Gene Scheer song, โ€œAmerican Anthem.โ€ โ€œThe work and prayers of centuries have brought us to this day,โ€ said Biden. โ€œWhat shall our legacy be?โ€

Fatefully, Biden stumbled awkwardly over the word โ€œlegacyโ€ in waning attempt at crafting his own legacy. In retrospect, it was the perfect swan song for Bidenism that commenced 55 years ago in 1970.

Legitimacy of legacy lies in truth, and nothing else.ย There are no shortcuts.ย 

Where to begin: The overrun southern border that has welcomed an estimated 21 million illegally, historic record inflation, out-of-control crime, wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the meteoric rise of China, an ever-exploding national debt, the COVID-19 vaccine debacle, the weaponization of the Justice Department, Hunter Bidenโ€™s pardon for federal tax and gun charges that the president said would never happen and a nation more at odds with itself since the Civil War.

Biden is a wandering and incoherent medically confirmed non-compos mentis elderly man with a โ€œget-off-my-grassโ€ aged fragility exhibiting the steadfast spitefulness of Alzheimerโ€™s. 

When the Easter Bunny had to show Biden where the exit was after a White House Easter egg hunt America needed nothing more. However, it kept coming. Bidenโ€™s descent into dementia put the finishing touches on decades of a blundering, self-aggrandizement political career.ย The whole charade finally crashed during the presidential debate in June, underscoring how Biden was holding a job way over his head. Arguably, it is the greatest of political scandals.

The thousands of pardons issued are highly suspected including the recent Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients โ€“ George Soros and Hillary Clinton, really?

With the death of former President Jimmy Carter, it is Biden who is our worst living President โ€“ another legacy splinter that ushered in Trumpโ€™s second presidential term.

Barack Obama disclosed years before that we should โ€œnever underestimate Bidenโ€™s ability to f**k things up,โ€ and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, declared Biden has โ€œbeen wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.โ€

Bidenโ€™s political agenda was about power and self-enrichment and never about America. Itโ€™s Obama politics 101. Bidenโ€™s cognitive decline preceded his 2020 candidacy, and the entire Democrat contingent knew and so did anyone paying attention with the media being complicit.

Legacy, like its brother legend, is often distorted and overrated.ย Statues are torn down, and headstones are knocked over.ย After a generation or two, no one remembers or cares. Name an Academy Award, Nobel Prize or Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient from a decade ago. Rather, they are a trivia question โ€“ if they are lucky.

The innate, yet fallen human condition wants to achieve something of significance that outlives us other than a weathering tombstone with our name etched upon it.ย Some will pay a high price to do so even if it means selling out to evil.

The octogenarian Biden is spending his final days in the Oval Office telling war stories, while his staff works to spite the incoming Trump administration by banning oil and gas drilling in federal waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans using a decades old law that will make it difficult to reverse.

Enter the modern myth makerโ€ the presidential library. Bidenโ€™s version will be constructed in Delaware โ€“ not Scranton. In honor of such an occasion, it will be a basement venue with the elevator incapable of reaching the first floor. Walt Disney Worldโ€™s Hall of Presidents revised their Biden animatronic with Joe sleeping in a beach chair. Meanwhile, McDonaldโ€™s will feature a Biden burger that is Fluffernutter on burnt toast minus the beef. 

The Democrat party and their media allies perpetuated a colossal fraud against America at the expense of national tranquility and security. They actively censored and criticized anyone that questioned Bidenโ€™s obvious cognitive impairments. And those constitutionally disposed to right the ship of state failed โ€“ the 25th Amendment be damned โ€“ is nothing short of treason.

This ongoing charade of woke democrats, leftists, and their enabling media should be more than enough to bury them all, but many remain incredulous.

After Obama and now Biden, who can blame them?
