OPINION:
I believe congratulations are in order for the American people, who have struggled mightily under the Biden administration these past four years. They have endured destructive policies, all of which went against the best interests of the taxpayers and the nation.
The moment President Biden essentially shut down U.S. energy production and opened the border to a stampede of illegal migrants designed to consume our resources and allow human trafficking and the flow of deadly drugs across out border, we’ve all been taking it one day at a time. And it looks like we can see the light at the end of the tunnel with Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration (otherwise known as “Sanity Restoration Day”), which will surely instantly usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.
There’s an old saying: “Tough times never last, but tough people do.” Whether we wanted it or not, the Biden administration unnecessarily made life much harder for the American working-class family, and we’ve had to become stronger or perish.
But what worries me is that the spiteful Mr. Biden might have something big and terrible planned for his exit. Is an even more massive blanket pardon in the works to exonerate the people who have done Mr. Biden’s dirty work?
I hope I’m wrong, but I fear Mr. Biden will leave the White House with the political equivalent of Saddam Hussein’s scorched-earth policy in 1991. After Saddam’s occupying army was evicted, he ordered the torching of 800 oil wells, causing the worst human-made ecological disaster in known history.
If any president could willfully do damage on his way out the door, it’s this one.
