Joe Biden's farewell speech just plain stunk

 Biden's entire presidency was a rotten egg thrown at the public.

Now, he's breaded up the thing with lies, and served it as a ... certain kind of sandwich, which is what his final farewell address amounted to.

According to NPR:

President Biden delivered his farewell address to the nation on Wednesday, taking to the Oval Office for one last opportunity to frame his legacy and to deliver a warning about the threat from unchecked abuse of power and wealth and what he described as an emerging oligarchy.

Speaking from behind the Resolute Desk, Biden sought to sound an alarm about "a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people" that he said risks undermining the very fabric of American life.

"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. Our basic rights and freedoms. And a fair shot for everyone to get ahead," he said.

The address was an echo of the farewell address that then-President Dwight Eisenhower delivered to the nation in 1961, in which he famously warned about the dangers of an emerging "military industrial complex." Today, Biden said, the threat he sees is coming from a "tech industrial complex."

Same old Joe, plagiarizing from someone else, this time Dwight Eisenhower. The transcript is here.

Is he talking about the tech bros who brought censorship in collusion with the federal government to suppress valid news and keep President Trump from winning the election in 2020? The tech bros who censored valid COVID, lockdown, and vaccine research as "disinformation"? The ones who illegally debanked, deplatformed, and demonetized conservative news sites to benefit Democrats? We still haven't sorted that out, nor have we had the reckoning we need with these bounders whose activities were about as anti-American and anti-free speech as such things come.

Or is he talking about Mark Zuckerberg, bankroller of "the conspiracy to save democracy," who "chipped in" $300 million to NGOs to prevent President Trump's re-election, by hand-picking counties sure to raise Democrat voter turnout at the expense of other counties, while claiming to be nonpartisan, and all to win the 2020 election for Biden?

Or is he talking about George Soros, billionaire hedge-fund manager of the color revolutions transferred over to the U.S., shoveling billions to anti-police, anti-rule-of-law, pro-pot, anti-voter integrity NGOs; the billionaire who, despite experiencing Naziism himself, said America needed some 'de-nazification' for not sharing his views about socialism?

Those horses left the barn long ago and as Biden benefited from it, he only had criticism (and censorship) for those pointing it out.

Now that one billionaire -- Elon Musk -- the one who produces things of value like rockets, electrical cars, tunnels, Starlinks, and medical advances to help the blind and paralyzed and is harassed by the government for it -- has opted to join President Trump, all of a sudden, Biden has become Dwight Eisenhower (whose warnings about the deep state were perfectly prescient), only this time warning about Big Tech.

It's so disgusting and hypocritical.

As is this:

Along with his rant against "dark money":

Wow https://t.co/tJlDlMeNGo

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 16, 2025

Worse still, he gaslighted praise about how wonderful his administration had been -- the one that brought us high inflation, intrusive government, abortion on demand up to the last day, intact males in little girls' bathrooms and locker rooms, the biggest U.S. military humilation in history in his Afghanistan finale, massive wasted and stolen money on all fronts, the border opened wide to all comers, the infiltration of Mexican cartels into the U.S. and its institutions, the corruption of the Justice Department and FBI, focused on lawfare against Trump, spying on Americans, and jailing pipsqueak dissidents; and the world's bad actors -- from Putin and Xi, to Iran's and Hamas's monsters, to the far-left freak show in Latin America -- on the march to the U.S.'s detriment.

He then took credit for yesterday's ceasefire deal, as if he had been engaged all along and the terrorists hadn't noticed who was going to come after him.

He ridiculously praised Kamala Harris, which was about par, given her absence of any merit, a strange spector given the infighting between himself and her in the wake of her electoral defeat to Trump. She is said to be very angry about Biden's recent statements that if he had been allowed to run against Trump, he would have won, unlike Kamala. Oh, please.

He exuded in flat-out lies, like this whopper:

Instead of losing their jobs to an economic crisis that we inherited, millions of Americans now have the dignity of work. Millions of entrepreneurs and companies, creating new businesses and industries, hiring American workers, using American products. And together, we have launched a new era of American possibilities: one of the greatest modernizations of infrastructure in our entire history, from new roads, bridges, clean water, affordable high-speed internet for every American.

So much stunk about Biden's administration it could only be called an unmitigated failure, and that same Biden administration was clearly was shown the door by voters as a result.

But we get this from him, sounding like a drunk rambling:

He didn't fool Victor Davis Hanson:

Departing President Joe Biden offered a farewell brag this week to his State Department about how his tenure had improved America’s stature abroad. In his now accustomed weird mix of whispering and fiery shouting, Biden apparently felt he had to lie or mislead about almost every…

— Victor Davis Hanson (@VDHanson) January 16, 2025

Sure Biden called for a ban on stock trading from members of Congress. He had four years to get that done, but he let his allies make their piles first.

As for himself, he's made his pile too -- and pardoned his son for all crimes extending a decade back -- to ensure he got away with it, and could keep his ill-gotten gains. That of course meant Joe, as "the big guy" could keep his ten percent, too. He made his pile, so now he calls for stopping anyone else from making theirs.

Now he's consoling himself that given time, everyone will recognize what a great president he was.

You know, it will take time to feel the full impact of all we’ve done together. But the seeds are planted, and they’ll grow, and they’ll bloom for decades to come. At home, we have created nearly 17 million new jobs, more than any other single administration in a single term. More people have health care than ever before. And overseas, we have strengthened NATO. Ukraine is still free. And we’ve pulled ahead in our competition with China. And so much more. I’m so proud of how much we’ve accomplished together for the American people, and I wish the incoming administration success. Because I want America to succeed.

That tells us he's getting ready to claim credit when President Trump rights the ship and really does produce results for the country. After all, he's polling around 28% in his presidential approval rating. One can only hope that he will have politically faded away so hard no one will hear his corrupt, mendacious, babblings. His presidential approval needs to fall to zero.

Joe Biden’s farewell letter is full of classic Biden whoppers

 On Joe Biden’s way out of office, he and his puppet masters are doing everything they can to tie Trump’s hands so they can blame him for failing to lower inflation, eliminate unnecessary federal workers, lower energy prices, and deport as many illegals as he promised and should.

They are also rewriting history, pretending that Biden’s four years in office made the world and America safer and more prosperous.

And now, Biden has issued a farewell letter, which was full of class Biden whoppers. Biden has been a serial liar throughout his fifty years in office so it’s completely expected, but he’s really outdone himself this time, starting out with one of his biggest, continuous lies, i.e. that he inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and his policies turned it around. From a report at Fox News:

Biden began his letter by writing that four years ago when he took office, ‘We were in the grip of the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression….’

The media know, or should know, that Biden inherited a rapidly growing economy, yet we see very few who correct Biden’s lies—so most Americans probably believe he actually did inherit a disaster. What Biden was actually handed though was a rapidly growing economy, low energy prices, overall inflation of 1.4%, a fairly secure border, and a relatively peaceful world—his executive orders and policies instantly undid all of that, and made things much worse for the last four years.

Under Trump, the economy had the shortest recession in history in March and April of 2020—a recession caused by government shutdowns based on multiple lies from Anthony Fauci and the CDC.

This report from the Congressional Research Office, issued in July of 2020, predicted that the economy would grow an exceptional 6.5% in 2021. That was seven months before Biden took office. They wouldn’t have announced that prediction if the economy were in deep trouble.

Another continuous lie that Biden tells is that job growth under him has been the fastest in history. Here is factual information about the private sector workforce under Trump and Biden:

Civilian labor employment, seasonably adjusted

February 2020: 158.7 Million

April 2020: 133.2 Million

December 2020: 150.0 Million

August 2021: 153.3 Million

Dec 2022: 159.3 Million

April 2024: 161.5 Million

Dec 2024: 161.7 Million 

The United States lost 25.5 million jobs in two months because of the shutdowns caused by the lies of Fauci and the CDC, which scared politicians and the public into compliance. Trump pushed for the economy to start opening up again in May 2020, and rapidly in May of 2020 led by Trump and Republican governors.

In the last eight months of Trump’s term, the private sector recovered 16.8 million jobs, or more than two million jobs per month. That is an exceptional recovery, not the signs of an economy in the “worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.”

More jobs would have been recovered if California, New York, Illinois, and other Democrat governors hadn’t kept up the dictatorial shutdowns as they campaigned for Biden.

In Biden’s first eight months in office, only an additional 3.3 million jobs were recovered, not created. That was only 400,000 jobs per month, or 20% of the job growth during Trump’s last eight months. It took two years to recover the additional 8 million jobs lost during the shutdowns, with an average of just over 300,000 jobs per month. The last two years of Biden’s term have averaged an anemic 100,000 private sector jobs per month.

We are constantly told that immigration, both legal and illegal, are great for the economy—so how come the U.S. is only creating 25,000 jobs per month with millions of illegals coming in every year? How does the Federal Reserve explain that? Why do they say the job market is strong?

Biden also inherited an economy with 1.4% inflation and when he was installed, crude oil was $40 per barrel. He is handing off an economy with more than double the inflation rate at over 3% and crude oil at almost $80 per barrel, or double what it was when he took the reins from Trump. And he is still blocking drilling.

The poor and middle classes have had their purchasing power destroyed by Biden policies: “Consumer Prices Soared Over 21% Under Biden... And Real Wages Fell”.

Biden is also handing off a $2 trillion deficit in a supposedly good economy. I would ask Jerome Powell what kind of economic growth we would see if we weren’t running a deficit at over 6% of GDP?

As JD Vance said, Trump is inheriting a dumpster fire, not a great economy as Biden and his puppet masters regurgitate to mislead the American people.

WATCH: Treasury Secretary Nominee Scott Bessent Humiliates Comrade Bernie Sanders with a Brutal Reminder when Sanders Brings up Biden’s Oligarchy Comments

 I heard this biden comment yesterday and it makes you think, what a stinking Liar!  Who had the Millionaires and billionaires feeding millions of dollars to Idiots that are wanting a globalist Governing body?  Not Republicans or Trump. How about Soros, the money man for the Anti american Marxist Left and the WEF the unelected Idiots that want to rule the world, not Trump.  Again the Dipshits and Liars on the Left are accusing others of what they are doing or done.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Treasury Secretary, appeared before the Senate Finance Committee today for his confirmation hearing.

Bessent, a hedge fund manager, and Key Square Group founder has calmly swatted down Democrat haters when they have asked him gotcha questions and made laughably untrue remarks throughout his testimony. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) learned this the hard way earlier today.

Shortly thereafter, it was Senator Bernie Sanders’ (Socialist-VT) turn to experience Bessent’s calm confidence and intellect. The Vermont senator decided to center his questions around Biden’s disgusting remarks last night during his farewell address regarding an American oligarchy supposedly forming.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported Biden lashed out at Trump, Elon Musk, Ramaswamy, and other billionaires last night ‘warning’ America last night that the United States was headed toward an oligarchy.


“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” Biden whined.


Sanders brought up Biden’s asinine remarks and claimed Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Zuckerberg were too wealthy and powerful. He then tried to get Bessent to go along with his view on the matter.

Bessent responded by quickly defending the American capitalist system, which enabled these individuals to achieve greatness. This obviously did not please Sanders.


But the socialist senator had one more gotcha question up his sleeve. Sanders then asked whether the wealth and influence of these few powerful people constitute an oligarchy in America, which he supposedly views as a problem.

But if Sanders was hoping to finally get Bessent to embrace Marxism and break from President Trump, he was severely mistaken.

Bessent saw through Sanders’ trick and calmly obliterated him with one brutal reminder: This month, Biden gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who would very much qualify as oligarchs under his definition. One of these people was George Soros.


In other words, Biden and Sanders are just full of garbage when it comes to wealthy individuals in America.

WATCH:

SANDERS: What Biden said last night is we are moving toward an oligarchy…Forget how they made their money. Do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and economic and political power that that is an oligarchy that forms a society?

BESSENT: I would note that President Biden gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who would qualify for his oligarchs.

Dirty Democrat Dick Durbin Demands U.S. Agencies Dig Up Kompromat on Trump’s FBI Nominee Kash Patel

 Looks like Dirty Dick is worried about Corruption being exposed?


Dick Durbin

Senator Dick Durbin is going all out to try and derail the nomination of Kash Patel as director of the FBI.

In letters to the Justice Department, Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Durbin accuses Patel of working to undermine the transition process between Donald Trump and Joe Biden following the widespread fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential election.

He wrote:

Mr. Patel was appointed Chief of Staff [for the Secretary of Defense] on November 10, 2020, after then-President Trump lost the 2020 election.

During his tenure, Mr. Patel was accused of impeding the incoming Biden Administration’s transition work with the Defense Department, injecting himself and another political appointee into processes normally handled by nonpartisan career civilian and military officials, and ignoring requests from the Biden Administration’s transition.


As you know, the FBI is the principal federal law enforcement investigative agency, tasked with protecting all Americans.

The Director must be able to execute the FBI’s mission in a nonpartisan, impartial manner that is above reproach.

The credible allegations against Mr. Patel outlined above are deeply troubling, and the Committee is unable to properly consider his nomination without more information on his underlying conduct.


Lawmakers such as Durbin are particularly troubled by Patel’s nomination because of his longstanding record of working to hold Democrats and deep state actors accountable for their countless crimes and misdemeanors.

Such is Durbin’s concern that he even brought up Patel’s name during the confirmation hearing for Pam Bondi, who is Trump’s nominee for Attorney General and asked her about his supposed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory.

 

“I look forward to hearing his testimony about QAnon in front of this committee,” Bondi replied.


Among Patel’s most notable achievements involved exposing the Russiagate hoax when he spearheaded the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into the Hillary Clinton-funded Steele dossier aimed at discrediting the Trump presidency before he even took office.

“Kash is proud of his service at the DOJ, DOD, and DNI, and looks forward to answering any of Senator Durbin’s questions at his confirmation hearing,” said Alex Pfeiffer, a Trump spokesperson.

Patel’s confirmation hearing is scheduled to take place after Donald Trump is inaugurated next week.

However, a specific date has yet to be publicly announced.

Oh, this should be fun!

 

Iran is threatening to turn the Trump White House into a Shiite Islamic center. But I think they’ll be too busy cleaning up the rubble from their bombed out underground nuclear facilities after Trump and Netanyahu get finished with them.
