The Last-Minute Push from the Lamest of Lame Ducks
NRO ^ | 3 Jan 2024 | Jim Geraghty

On the menu today: Back on December 13, I noticed that the Biden administration released its “National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate” and announced the establishment of two China-focused initiatives and observed there was something a little absurd about the Biden team unveiling “short, medium, and long-term actions” with 38 days left in Biden’s presidency. These guys are the short term.

Now, we are 17 days away from the start of Donald Trump’s second term, and Biden — or more accurately, the team around our mumbling, stumbling octogenarian president — is trying to push through a difficult-to-rescind ban on new oil and gas drilling in large sections of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, enacted last-minute changes to the H-1B and H-2 visa programs to increase the number of foreign workers in the U.S., locked in hybrid work protections for tens of thousands of staffers at the Social Security Administration, set a new Paris Climate Agreement goal to reduce U.S. net emissions by 61-66 percent in 2035 (that one will be easier to rescind), and attempted to hinder efforts to increase U.S. exports of liquid natural gas. And of course, there’s been the pardon-palooza.

It makes Bill Clinton’s staffers stealing all the “W”s from the White House keyboards look quaint.

Dear lame ducks. It’s over ok? Go home. Have a few mimosas and some Hors D’oeuvres. Relax now. Give me credit because I’m trying to say GTFO nicely.

He’s the figurehead for the commie deep-state for sure. These bastards can’t leave fast enough.

Biden’s moat scary movie of all times is “The Unsniffable Girl.”

What are they going to do all of the prepubescent girls they have in the White House basement come Jan 20? Does Biden get to keep them or are they sent to the National Archives?

I don’t remember a presidential transition period where there was so much tension to get the old guy out and get the new guy in. Maybe the Carter-Reagan turnover.

This great iconic American hero had to leave with the most dangerous terrorists, the white supremacists, still dominating the entire nation.

They’re being trucked to a new underground addition at the Rehoboth beach basement as we speak.
