Biden, Unchained
All of the Democrat pressure, all of the insider leaks to the media, and all of the handwringing by slippery politicians, circling like vultures , have led to Joe Biden’s announcement, declaring his exit from the 2024 campaign for president. We can speculate on what finally changed Biden’s stubborn and intransigent mind to abandon his campaign, but what’s more important—and downright critical—is what Biden can do as president in the next five-plus months without the specter of having to win the upcoming election.
Now that Biden is not beholden to the moneyed interests behind his campaign yet still has the powers of the presidency, we are likely going to be exposed to some of the most radical and dangerous moves put forth by the U.S. government that would have just recently been unthinkable.
Democrats have been itching to turn America into a progressive utopia for generations, and this presents a unique opportunity to ram through a sweeping left-wing agenda without hesitation from a lame-duck president who isn’t worried about losing votes as a result.
Can you say executive actions? Will this be the way that Biden leaves his mark, gets to write his legacy, and gets his presidential library built? A library that no one will visit.
What to expect from Biden and the Deep State
We expect Deep State operatives to issue multiple layers of regulatory rules over this period in an effort to prohibit their firing or re-assignment by a Trump administration looking to reform a wildly expanded administrative state that fought the former president at every turn during his first administration.
Blanket amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is surely not off the table. Under Barack Obama, more than half a million people received DACA status without Obama having the authority to grant it. With no check on his power, like the need to win reelection, Biden could authorize a similar amnesty and might even provide a pathway for illegals to vote right before the elections in November. With the stroke of a pen, the courts be damned.
Prosecuting endless wars abroad is something Democrats have always supported, and Biden has been no different. As a lame-duck president with very little to lose, we expect our involvement in the Ukraine-Russia warbacking an anti-democratic despot and our intervention in the Israel conflict to continue and possibly escalate even further.
The border and needless wars. These are the two big issues on which Democrats are on the wrong side. And that can’t change between now and November.
And what about China? With this uncertainty in our political process, will the political astute Xi Jinping use this turmoil to finally attack Taiwan? What would a weakened Biden’s response be? A stern presidential rebuke to China from Biden? Not from China Joe; he would likely tell Taiwan to stand down and peacefully agree to be the next region of a newly expanded China. Think of the impact if the CCP has control over Taiwan’s chip-making industry. That’s a frightful proposition.
Speaking of wars, reinstating the military draft, a move to offset the disturbing lack of recruitment, is likely to include an even broader series of physical and psychological standards that would not allow for traditional deferments. We can also expect women to be drafted for roles that could include combat for the first time.
Now that the Biden presidential campaign is over, a relieved legacy media can go back to its cover-up of Biden’s mental and physical deterioration with a renewed purpose to re-position this corrupt, petty, and abusive politician as a hero and a statesman of the highest order—the man who took down Donald Trump in 2020. He will be hailed as a hero who courageously served our country with honor and distinction for over fifty years before his noble efforts took a toll on his body. We could write the headlines right now.
Actually, the fawning tributes and coverage came in almost immediately from all parts of the Democrat ecosphere, starting with former Barack Obama advisor David Axelrod, who was directly responsible for kicking Biden to the curb. In the media, we have this glowing tribute from Rachel Maddow as well as the rest of the Democrat activist mockingbirds in the Fourth Estate.
Why not? It will be up to the next administration to clean up the mess and deal with a legacy media claiming it was Trump’s administration that failed the public. Isn’t it great to be a Democrat?
The Biden Crime Family Connection
Then there are personal considerations to take into account. First and foremost are his son Hunter’s ongoing legal difficulties. He is a convicted felon—a true convicted felon—awaiting sentencing on his gun charges. Biden has said he would not pardon his son but that was when he was a supposedly viable candidate (not really) seeking reelection. Without having to run for reelection and justify such action, he is free to pardon his son.
But what about the future charges Hunter faces on tax charges with the trial scheduled to start in September? Expect the dynamics to change, and change quickly. That trial, if it starts on time in September, is unlikely to conclude before the change in administration on January 20, 2025. That might precipitate a plea agreement before the start of the trial in September, even before the start of the Democrat National Convention on August 19. If Biden is to resign like Nixon did 50 years ago, to avoid worse consequences and humiliation, his son will need to reach a plea deal in the next three weeks so he can use his presidential powers, while he retains them, to pardon his son.
And let’s not forget the corrupt activities of his brother Jim. The activities of the Biden Crime Family—the obvious influence peddling occurred while Biden was vice president and in the years during Trump’s first administration—are not subject to presidential immunity. An aggressive Trump Department of Justice would be free to justifiably prosecute Hunter, Jim, and even Joe once he’s left office.
While Robert Hur declined to prosecute an elderly Joe Biden with a poor memory, a new Attorney General, Kash Patel perhaps, might not let the Hunter, Jim, and Joe off the hook.
(We’re afraid Trump might not aggressively prosecute the Bidens, just as was the case in his first administration with regard to Hillary Clinton. But who would blame Trump if he did after the persecution of Trump by Biden’s legal weasel, Attorney General Merrick Garland, who will soon be ex-Attorney General in January and who might find himself in legal jeopardy after he leaves office as he has no immunity from prosecution?)
Biden should consider himself lucky that, with the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity, he is almost completely protected for his corrupt actions taken while in office.
It’s really all about power and money.
This intramural battle among Democrats since the disastrous debate performance last month has always been about two things: saving seats down ballot in Congress and preserving finances.
A lot of the pressure on Biden to end his candidacy has come from down-ballot Democrats. Before this Biden disaster, it was almost a given that the Republicans would regain control of the Senate with Joe Manchin’s retirement. Now the question is: will the Senate be split 50/50 with JD Vance being the tie-breaker vote? Or will the final composition of the Senate be 54-46 or worse in a Trump/Vance landslide in November?
The fact that Joe Biden won the Democrat primaries and drew over 14 million votes does not matter to party leaders. Those votes are collateral damage to the real intentions of Democrat Party leaders, keeping a hold on power and banking cash. That meant Joe had to go, never mind the voters’ wishes.
Democrats had hopes of retaining control of the Senate and flipping the House. But even with typical Republican ineptitude, that now seems highly unlikely. Republicans are now united, with the levers of power within the party now firmly controlled by Donald Trump.
Even with a confident and clear path to victory in November, Republicans still have five-plus months of a Democrat machine looking to inflict as much of their radical agenda as possible before they’re shown the door. Republicans should recognize that a Democrat administration that is convinced there is no path to victory in November is a dangerous animal that has been unchained by Biden’s withdrawal and is now ready to attack.
