The Under- and Over-Estimated Jimmy Carter, RIP
Posted By: Hazymac, 12/30/2024 4:19:12 PM
The public appearance last fall of a senile Jimmy Carter was one of the worst cases of public elder abuse I’ve ever seen. It was ghoulish of his family to wheel him out in such an undignified condition in service of a political stunt on behalf of the Democratic Party, even if Carter wanted to bask in the glow of knowing that soon he would no longer be regarded as America’s worst modern president after Joe Biden’s ignominious end. I generally disdain speaking ill of the recently departed, and there are some aspects of real genius to the Carter story, especially his insight into how an obscure figure could rise fast

It seems like just this summer that I wished Presidentish Joe Biden a "fondless farewell" as "easily the worst human being to hold the office of president of the United States." [Steve, it was just last summer —Editor] But now that the man whose "ability to f*** things up" has never been underestimated at this site prepares to leave the office he barely held, let's reminisce about the things we won't miss the most.
"Biden exited the stage last night," I wrote of his too-late-for-primetime DNC farewell address, "largely forgotten before he'd walked onto it." He'll vacate the White House the same way on the morning of Jan. 20.
Tesla Saves

Following up on John’s post regarding the terrorist attack outside the Trump International Hotel yesterday in Las Vegas, I want to note that police now say camp-fuel canisters and large firework mortars were stuffed into the back of a Tesla Cybertruck. These materials caused the explosion that killed the driver and inflicted minor injuries on seven others.
Elon Musk and Tesla immediately provided assistance to law enforcement in the investigation. Elon himself reported on X that he had “confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.” In fact, the design
All Is Not Well in the Biden White House

Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency is coming to an end, and according to reports, White House staffers describe a somber mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with Biden spending his final weeks in office reflecting on what could have been and probably wondering what other monsters he can pardon.
While Biden has recently expressed regret over dropping out and says he could have won, according to the Wall Street Journal, that belief “isn’t widely shared in the White House or among the Democratic establishment, where the more common view is that the party would have suffered a much larger electoral defeat and lost even more congressional seats had Biden remained the nominee.”
Legacy Media: Trump MUST Be Wrong
6 replies
Looking back over this year, and really the last eight years, perhaps the oddest observation is the degree to which the media was apparently motivated by one thing: if Trump said it, it must be wrong!
I started thinking about that this morning when Jonathan Turley observed the degree to which the media and the conventional wisdom combined to suppress and even explicitly censor the theory that SARS-CoV-2, the “COVID virus,” originated in a lab leak.
The whole history of theories of the origin of COVID-19 was full of people announcing with absolute certainty that it originated in one particular way, generally with limited data.
Some of the theories were
More pure idiocy from green pushers spread by the complicit media, via Yahoo News:
Climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers
More than one-third of all animals on Earth, from beetles to cows to elephants, depend on plant-based diets. Plants are a low-calorie food source, so it can be challenging for animals to consume enough energy to meet their needs. Now climate change is reducing the nutritional value of some foods that plant eaters rely on.
Human activities are increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and raising global temperatures. As a result, many plants are growing faster across ecosystems worldwide.

The disintegration of the attempted coverup of President Biden’s senility must be the biggest American news story of 2024. President Trump highlighted the contribution of prominent Democrats to the coverup in the video compilation below. Who are your favorite contributors? Attorney General Merrick Garland is probably mine. Thanks to the reviled Mitch McConnell, Garland does not hold a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen runs a close second. General Milley is beyond category. What a crew. (X) But politicians are always going to lie. The mainstream press is the villain of the story.
It seems President Biden won’t stop at letting his convicted son Hunter off the hook. The White House staff is reportedly pondering an unprecedented, pre-emptive set of presidential pardons for numerous officials who haven’t been formally charged or convicted of federal crimes but may be liable for indictment or conviction under the incoming Trump administration.
Prominent on that list is Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID).
Why Fauci? Team Biden is mum. But the most likely rationale is a possible perjury charge: Fauci testified under oath in congressional inquiries. At issue: Fauci’s responses to the crucial question of whether American
In September 2022, 17-year-old high school volleyball player Payton McNabb was seriously injured during a match by an opposing player, a boy who decided he was transgender. The injuries Payton received plague her to this day. The Independent Women's Forum has her story and has produced a documentary about her struggle and her heroic journey to stand up for the rights of women and girls. Payton's story highlights, among other things, one of the most pernicious aspects of the transgender movement: the utter disregard for other people. It is not enough that children are sexualized and their bodies and minds irrevocably altered by surgery, hormones, and puberty blockers.
Constitutional carry for all Americans?
4 replies
Among the most significant advances in upholding the Second Amendment has been the spread of Constitutional Carry (CC). Circa January 2024, 29 states allow CC:
Louisiana and South Carolina have joined 27 other states in recognizing Constitutional Carry. The others on that roll are: Alabama; Alaska; Arizona; Arkansas; Florida; Georgia; Idaho; Indiana; Iowa; Kansas; Kentucky; Maine; Mississippi; Missouri; Montana; Nebraska; New Hampshire; North Dakota; Ohio; Oklahoma; South Dakota; Tennessee; Texas; Utah; Vermont; West Virginia; and Wyoming. Generally, constitutional carry laws allow citizens not prohibited from gun ownership, such as convicted felons or those judged mentally ill, to carry firearms without government vetting or permits. Usually, such laws specify concealed

President Joe Biden, a medically confirmed non-compos mentis elderly man, has displayed the resolute spitefulness that comes with the Alzheimer’s disease, even while allegedly serving his duties as President of the United States.
Coming on the heels of the first world-wide pandemic in a hundred years, the 2020 election provided the perfect environment for the Democrats to try and derail a Trump presidency that had produced several noteworthy economic, political, and social achievements. True to form, the Democrats and the Mainstream Media (MSM) conspired to pull out all the stops to prevent Trump from being re-elected.
The Democrats began their barrage by blaming the COVID pandemic on Trump. Their next move
Who the Hell is Running the Country?

In name, Joe Biden is America’s 46th president. His “signature” is on official documents. He is photographed periodically, whether in the Oval Office, wandering in foreign lands, or inappropriately sniffing or nibbling young children.
But he is the president in name only.
Is Joe Biden even real? As this tweet illustrates, his height varies. In one photo, Donald Trump and Barack Obama are the same height. In another, Obama is taller than Biden, and in another photo, Biden is taller than Trump. Like an Escher print, this optical illusion begs the question of whether there is more than one “Joe Biden.”
I doubt Barack Obama is growing or shrinking,

Joe Biden is preparing to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development in key U.S. coastal waters, which will be “difficult to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas.”
This last-ditch effort to block President-elect Donald Trump’s energy agenda is expected to be enshrined in an executive order, marking yet another chapter in Biden’s war on American energy.
Sources familiar with the plan have revealed that Biden’s order will leverage a 72-year-old law—the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act—to solidify protections that are notoriously difficult to reverse, Bloomberg reported.
Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson — come on down and collect your door prizes.
Cheney, the former congresswoman from Wyoming who burned down every principal she ever held dear to engage in the J6 investigative crusade, and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who chaired the Select Committee investigating a relatively mundane protest at the Capitol, are set to accept some very shiny participation awards.Joe Biden, currently serving as president in name only, will award the two committee circus ringleaders with the nation's second highest civilian award — the Presidential Citizens Medal.
The dynamic duo are two of 20 individuals set to be honored with the award on Thursday.
This is truly chilling, especially in the wake of today’s terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas.
A former CIA officer named Sarah Adams was interviewed on the Shawn Ryan podcast just two weeks ago, and warned that there are more than a thousand al-Qaeda sleepers in the United States right now who are planning major attacks on the homeland.
She clearly implicates Biden’s open southern border as the entry point for these potential terrorists and suggests that they have developed new tactics and bombs that can evade detection through traditional means.
Zero Hedge has more details:
NEW ORLEANS - Authorities held a press conference Thursday morning (Jan. 2), providing updates on the Bourbon Street terror attack that claimed the lives of 14 victims and injured 35 others early New Year’s Day.
FBI Deputy Director Christopher Raia confirmed that 14 victims died in the attack, along with the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, bringing the total to 15 fatalities.
“This was a premeditated, evil act,” Raia told reporters. Officials revealed that Jabbar posted five videos between 1:20 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. on New Year’s Day, proclaiming support for ISIS.
In the first video, Raia says Jabbar expressed a desire to kill his friends and family, but ultimately desired

Is she drunk? Heavily medicated?
Fresh off of a hip transplant, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posted a bizarre video to X on Thursday claiming she was on her way to DC to represent her constituents and share “San Francisco values.”
San Francisco values = Needles in the street, homelessness and rampant retail theft.
84-year-old Pelosi could barely open her eyes as she heavily slurred her words.“Hi, it’s Nancy. I’m on my way to Washington to proudly represent the people of San Francisco in Congress. I’m honored to do so to share our San Francisco values,”
Emboldened by correctly predicting Kamala would get the debate questions in advance (oh, I apologize, ABC, it was just the topics, not the questions, so it’s all good and you smell like a rose), I’m going to go way out on a limb with another prediction: Joe Biden will issue mass pardons to the J6 inmates. Before you say I’m crazy, here are numerous reasons why he might do it:
It steals Donald Trump’s thunder of doing it himself five minutes after the inauguration
Many J6 inmates are getting out anyway in a few weeks
The J6 insurrection narrative is going to collapse as the evidence comes out
The brother of the terrorist who launched the deadly car attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans says that “radicalization” is to blame for his kin’s rampage.
Abdur Jabbar, 24, of Beaumont, Texas, told The New York Times that his brother Shamsud-Din Jabbar — who killed at least 15 people in the New Year’s Day attack — converted to Islam at an early age. (Photos)
The younger Jabbar told the newspaper that what his brother “did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters marched in New York City on New Year’s Day for “intifada,” blocking Sixth Avenue in Manhattan just hours after a terror attack in New Orleans, Louisiana, and an explosion in Las Vegas, Nevada. (X's, Videos) The Times of Israel reported:
Attendees chanted “Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious,” “We will honor all our martyrs,” and “Gaza, you make us proud.” They carried signs that said “Zionism is cancer,” “No war on Iran,” and “End all US aid to Israel.”
“There is only one solution — Intifada revolution,” they chanted, using a common refrain
A new report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up evidence.
The FBI is now refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigators.
In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.”
To the victor goes the spoils. President-elect Donald Trump will host a mass rally for supporters in Washington, DC, the day before he is set to be inaugurated for a second term.
What is already dubbed a “victory rally” will be held at Capital One Arena on Jan. 19, according to an announcement from his inauguration committee sent out Wednesday and first reported by CBS News. The “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET, according to a sign-up link from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.
After Shamsud-din Jabbar’s New Orleans attack turned a New Year’s celebration into violent tragedy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to show why it has forfeited the trust of the American people.
Jabbar affixed an ISIS flag to the pickup he drove at high speed into a crowd of revelers, killing at least 14 people.
Yet the FBI at first refused to call the attack what it plainly was: terrorism.
That’s even though it arrested a shocking 10 ISIS would-bes in 2024 alone, thankfully before they were able to carry out any attacks — including a 17-year-old in Arizona.
“This is not a terrorist event,”
