US President Joe Biden directed that January 9 will be a national day of mourning throughout the United States for former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 100.
"I call on the American people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of President James Earl Carter," Biden said in a statement...

I’ll hold a celebration on the 9th. I normally go Low Carb, but for Jimmy? I’ll have some cheesecake with a bit of ice cream & imagine Joe Biden joining him soon.
National Review is often full of horse manure these days, but they’ve got an article that gets it right. This is a small excerpt:
But when that failed, he took things to an extraordinary level. Carter wrote a letter to the leaders of every country on the U.N. Security Council, as well as a dozen other world leaders, Brinkley recounted, making “a direct appeal to hold ‘good faith’ negotiations with Saddam Hussein before entering upon a war. Carter implied that mature nations should not act like lemmings, blindly following George Bush’s inflammatory ‘line in the sand rhetoric.’”
As if this weren’t enough, on January 10, 1991 — just five days before a deadline that had been set for Saddam to withdraw — Carter wrote to key Arab leaders urging them to abandon their support for the U.S., undermining months of careful diplomacy by the Bush administration. “You may have to forego approval from the White House, but you will find the French, Soviets and others fully supportive,” Carter advised them.
It is one thing for a former president to express opposition to a policy of the sitting president, but by actively working to get foreign leaders to withdraw support for the U.S. days before troops were to be in the cross fire, Carter was taking actions that were closer to treason than they were to legitimate peace activism.”
He was the liquid turd that kept squirting, year after year after year.
They misspelled “morning in America”
January 29, 2025 a national day of Morning for our country after 4 years of the worst (not even) president ever. Just glad that past president Carter could live to see his replacement.
And there was this stupidity:
“...the Queen Mother later wrote about the unpleasant encounter, noting how she had seen Carter leaning in for a kiss and had unsuccessfully tried to dodge him.
‘Nobody has done that since my husband died,’ she later said. ‘I took a sharp step backwards – not quite far enough.’
The Queen Mother’s husband, King George VI, died in 1952, meaning Carter had been the first man to kiss her on the lips in 25 years. He was also likely the last.”
Seriously, what man thinks it is appropriate to kiss a strange woman on the lips (unless a major war has just ended) - let alone the QUEEN MOTHER?
I remember having a CD that paid 20% back in those happy days.
Thank you. I thought it had something to with Chavez in particular. And now Venezuelans who were doing pretty well in their previously flourishing country have been fleeing the disaster started by Chavez.
The Habitat for Humanity ruse was just used as a photo op moment. He didn’t really “build houses” for the poor. If anything, he disrupted their operations.
You left one out.
FEMA was officially created in 1979 through an executive order by President Jimmy Carter.
At least he got to have someone vote for Kamala “for” him.
Sorry, nope. He’s not more special than 330 million other Americans.
I don’t think he was well-intentioned. Recall during Rmoney’s campaign for POTUS, he made a comment about 47% of the populace won’t vote for you no matter what.
That was recorded surreptitiously (I think by Carter’s nephew) and leaked to the media.
Carter and said nephew gloated about it.
/SPIT
He hated Israel.
Watch the opening of the movie “Miracle” (the 1980 US Olympic hockey victory) for a Carter recap of his failures….
And rabbits.
Saying nothing often speaks volumes.
So...I say nothing.
Yep. People here should NOT say Carter was a “good man “ - he hated Jews and he was proabortion….
Just because he was mild mannered didn’t make him good.
He wasn’t even mild-mannered, a hoax. And January 9 is “Nixon Day” too!
Irans and modern terrorisms founding father
All of Iran mourns this useful idiot
That’s my brother’s birthday. Guess I’ll have to pass on the mourning thing.
Carter resulted in one positive thing for me. Before the gas shortage we bought an old clunker for short trips. A Toyota Corona that was so misaligned that when you drove it down the street it looked like it was going sideways.
But it got great mileage. We advertised it, and just after the newspaper was distributed there was a line down the street and around the corner. We sold it to the first guy in line for 3X what we paid for it.
Thanks, you retarded old fart, Jimmuh.
