“Every single thing [Biden] touched turned to s–t,” he declared.

The Republican party is now the “proud voice” of everyday Americans across the country — and the party of “common sense,” President Trump declared Saturday during his keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

“Our party has become the proud voice of hard-working citizens of every race, religion, color and creed, and I think one of the main reasons — not that we are conservative or anything — [is] we are the party of common sense. It’s about common sense,” he told the crowd of about 1,000 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.

“Over the past month, we’ve confirmed an all-star team of warriors, patriots, visionaries who put the America First agenda into action,” he added.

And his team has been working overtime, he said.

“The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists and deep-state bureaucrats are being sent packing.”

“The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists and deep-state bureaucrats are being sent packing,” the 78-year-old commander in chief crowed to the adoring CPAC crowd of 1,000 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.

Later, Trump blasted his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, calling him the “worst president in the history of our country.”

“I don’t care. I’ll say it. Jimmy Carter passed away, and he was a happy man when he passed away because it’s not even close,” the president continued in his verbal onslaught.

The Communist Who Convinced Jimmy Carter to Give Away the Panama Canal

Carter never should have given away the Panama Canal. It is down there with Biden’s giving away our best and secret technology in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The late Jimmy Carter didn’t come up spontaneously with the idea of giving away the Panama Canal, which America spent blood and gold on and which is an essential part of its national security. Instead, he had Robert A. Pastor, a communist, whispering in his ear.

A globalist who desired to merge incrementally the U.S., Mexico, and Canada into a “North American Union” (NAU) along the model of the European Union, Pastor’s intellectual development was rooted in Marxism. Pastor played an instrumental role in the Carter administration’s decision to relinquish control of the Panama Canal.

In what appears to have been his first job after being a teaching assistant graduate student while getting his Ph.D. at Harvard University’s Department of Government, Robert A. Pastor signed on to be the Executive Director of the Linowitz Commission. The Linowitz Commission was formally named the “Rockefeller Foundation’s Commission on U.S.- Latin American Relations,” but took its unofficial name from its chairman, Sol Linowitz. Linowitz had previously served as director of the socialist National Planning Association and was a paid, registered foreign agent of the Communist regime of Salvadore Allende in Chile.

One of the Linowitz Commission’s primary recommendations was that the United States should give the Panama Canal to Panama. In a 1995 interview he gave for a publication in a law journal,1/ Linowitz explained that it was wrong for the U.S. to have sovereignty over the Panama Canal. Discussing the 1903 treaty that gave the U.S. sovereignty over the Panama Canal, Linowitz commented, “That treaty was a source of shame to the Panamanians because it conveyed sovereignty over a large stretch of their territory to an occupying party.”

A loser decision by a loser president.

It’s another mess that Trump will have to clean up for national security.

Biden Awards Medal Of Freedom To Clinton, Soros, Cheney – Those Who Fought Against And Sold Out America

President Joe Biden will bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, upon Hillary Clinton and George Soros in a ceremony this Saturday at the White House.

The announcement has already sparked controversy—not for the ceremony itself, but for its glaringly partisan overtones.

Clinton, the former secretary of state and twice-failed presidential candidate, and Soros, the billionaire Democratic megadonor who has spent decades bankrolling left-wing causes, are being hailed by the Biden administration as paragons of “decency” and “exemplary contributions.”

Soros and Clinton are known for their myriad scandals and connections to left-wing causes.

From the New York Post:

Soros, 94, has been one of the most prolific fundraisers for the Democratic Party in recent history. 

The Hungarian-born hedge-fund billionaire gave more than $175 million to Democrats during the 2022 midterms, according to Federal Election Commission records. 

In 2024, Soros funneled another $60 million for House and Senate Democrats and other left-wing causes through his Democracy PAC, records show. The left-wing investor has also come under fire for funneling tens of millions of dollars to groups supporting anti-Israel protesters on college campuses. 

The White House described Soros as “a philanthropist who four decades ago founded the Open Society Foundations” and “through his network of foundations … has supported organizations, and projects across the world that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.”

Clinton’s controversial history seems to be brushed aside as well. More from The Post:

The former first lady, secretary of state and New York senator “made history many times over decades in public service,” the White House said. 

In 2016, Clinton made history when she became the first woman nominated for president by a major United States political party. 

Her bid to become the nation’s first female president came up short when President-elect Donald Trump defeated her in the 2016 race. 

Clinton was the subject of an FBI probe over her use of a private email server during her time in the Obama administration but was never charged with a crime.

Clinton’s 2016 loss to Donald Trump remains a defining moment in modern politics, exposing deep divisions within the electorate. Her post-election life has been marked by attempts to rehabilitate her public image—efforts that range from calculated to desperate. Saturday’s ceremony serves as the latest chapter in this ongoing PR campaign.

Seventeen others, including many celebrities, athletes, and less controversial public figures, will also be honored at the ceremony.

President Joe Biden on Thursday awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal to former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, honoring one of President-elect Donald Trump’s most outspoken critics at a White House ceremony less than three weeks before Trump is set to reclaim the presidency.

These are people who have undermined and sold out the country, trying to bring down Western Civilization and things morally right. He’s devalued the award to a sewer level, just like he sold access to the Ukraine and China. It’s a disgrace.

He cements his status as tied with Carter, Obama and Woodrow Wilson as our worst presidents, except somewhere the others had a sense of values and decency.

Bill Clinton Called Jimmy Carter A ‘Treasonous Prick’

This is ripe, especially coming from one of the biggest pricks we’ve had until Obama got elected.

As the nation prepares to honor former President Jimmy Carter with a state funeral on January 9, new accounts highlight a tense chapter in his post-presidential legacy. During the Clinton administration, Carter’s unauthorized diplomatic efforts in North Korea reportedly sparked outrage, with one senior official allegedly branding the former president a “treasonous prick.”

The episode, detailed in a National Review report, sheds light on the friction between the two Democratic leaders. Carter’s solo negotiations with North Korea, conducted without prior approval from the Clinton White House, left President Bill Clinton boxed into accepting a deal he had not sanctioned—complicating U.S. foreign policy at a critical moment.

According to a National Review, during Clinton’s presidency, Carter acted unilaterally to negotiate with North Korea—a move that blindsided the Clinton administration. Carter, accompanied by a CNN film crew, reportedly brokered a framework agreement with the rogue state and announced it publicly before consulting with Clinton’s team. The sudden announcement left the administration scrambling, with Clinton forced to accept the deal and abandon U.N. sanctions efforts.

So stop with all the praise. Carter is tied with Biden, Obama, Wilson and a couple of others as the worst Presidents we’ve ever had

Why To Kill The DOE – A Half Century of Miseducation

They’ve turned out robots instead of critical thinkers. They are restricting school choice, harming millions of kids. Not one accomplishment on behalf of the students since it was created. The NEA and Teachers Unions are going strong and pay themselves well for incompetence though.

The New York Times reported December 4 that math and science test scores for U.S. fourth and eighth graders have been essentially stagnant since 1995. Nor have they have been stagnant near the top — lots of countries outrank us — but rather in the middling middle. American elementary/middle school students perform behind Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, England, Ireland, and Poland.

“’This is alarming,’” opined a Department of Education commissioner.

Yes, it is, but perhaps not just for the reasons the article identifies.

The spin of the article is that scores are down and American kids have lost significant ground as a result of the pandemic. Author Dana Goldstein says the results corroborate “a large body of research showing significant academic declines since the Covid-19 pandemic began.” “Experts are debating potential causes,” reports Goldstein, including maybe the fact that American public schools were shuttered comparatively longer than in other countries.

Let me argue that spin is far too limited and selective.

While the “experts” debate, American kids continue to move through the public-school industry, advanced perhaps more for social promotion than mastery of skills. Eventually, they’ll hit college where freshman year will be spent in math remediation before they can undertake a required general education math or science course. I know. I worked as an associate dean at a private, tuition-driven Catholic university. One year, a fifth of the freshman class was in math remediation prior to regular college-level math classes.

You can argue the young people shouldn’t be admitted and it’s not a college’s role to make up deficiencies in elementary and secondary schooling. But somebody’s got to do it. These kids relied on what their schools told them, credentialing them with diplomas after going through multiple “proficiency tests” (that more often were “teaching to the test” than teaching). At some point, somebody’s actually got to teach them.

Carter And Biden Vie For The Most Incompetent President

While Obama and Woodrow Wilson fight for who is the most racist and hates The United States the most, I give you this.

Biden and Carter were incompetent to lead. They were people who found their way to the top because of circumstances other than them being qualified to be president.

Both will be remembered for taking a nation in good shape, and running it into the ground.

Fortunately, Reagan saved us and hopefully Trump can stop the damage Biden has done.

Pinkerton: Joe Biden Really Was Carter 2.0

the Biden administration can be turned over to historians, who will take note of yet another commonality between the 46th president and the 39th president: both were one-termers. (You can see all my earlier pieces, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.)

Biden’s presidency began with a bang. He had vast ambitions to be another Franklin D. Roosevelt, enacting big, bold—and lefty—New Deal-type programs, some of which he passed.

In his own not-so-modest self-evaluation, Biden predicted he would be remembered as more consequential than Barack Obama, the first Black president, as well as a two-termer—and also the man who, back in 2008, tapped Biden for the vice presidency, thus lifting Biden to the pinnacle of national renown.

Yet in return, Biden bore no small amount of jealousy, even bitterness, toward the 44th president, who wanted to see Hillary Clinton, not Biden, succeed him in 2016. Historian will note that for all his self-declared nice-guy-ness, Biden has always had a chip on his shoulder the size of Delaware.

Biden’s obsessive banging for fame and power makes it all the more remarkable that his presidency is ending with a whimper. He was forced to abandon his re-election effort in July, and now he sees that Trump, not Kamala Harris, will be his Oval Office successor.

n that article, presidential historian Douglas Brinkley jumped in to the fray, aiming at Biden: “He was supposed to be the bridge, a transition bridge for the next generation of Democrats.” Yet instead, Brinkley continued, Biden “blew up the bridge.” Ouch.

In fact, the immediate Biden post-presidency will be consumed by scoopy and juicy recriminations, as the Biden and Harris camps trade blame for the Democrats’ defeat, with former Obama officials joining in the crossfire.

Yet future chroniclers will likely assign most of the blame to Biden. He campaigned in 2020 as “Middle Class Joe,” or “Scranton Joe,” or “Amtrak Joe,” and yet once in office, he governed well to the left, especially on cultural issues.
