If there is such a thing as a sentimental moment at a political convention, President Joe Biden attempted such a ruse at the Democrat National Convention back in August when he recited from the Gene Scheer song, “American Anthem.” “The work and prayers of centuries have brought us to this day,” said Biden. “What shall our legacy be?”
Fatefully, Biden stumbled awkwardly over the word “legacy” in a waning attempt at crafting his own legacy. In retrospect, it was the perfect swan song for Bidenism that commenced 55 years ago in 1970.
Legitimacy of legacy lies in truth and nothing else. There are no shortcuts.
Where to begin: The overrun southern border that has welcomed an estimated 21 million illegally, historic record inflation, out-of-control crime, wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the meteoric rise of China, an ever-exploding national debt, the COVID-19 vaccine debacle, the weaponization of the Justice Department, Hunter Biden’s pardon for federal tax and gun charges that the president said would never happen and a nation more at odds with itself since the Civil War.
Biden is a wandering and incoherent medically confirmed non-compos mentis elderly man with a “get-off-my-grass” aged fragility exhibiting the steadfast spitefulness of Alzheimer’s.
When the Easter Bunny had to show Biden where the exit was after a White House Easter egg hunt, America needed nothing more. However, it kept coming. Biden’s descent into dementia put the finishing touches on decades of a blundering, self-aggrandizement political career. The whole charade finally crashed during the presidential debate in June, underscoring how Biden was holding a job way over his head. Arguably, it is the greatest of political scandals.
The thousands of pardons issued are highly suspected, including the recent Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients – George Soros and Hillary Clinton, really?
With the death of former President Jimmy Carter, it is Biden who is our worst living President – another legacy splinter that ushered in Trump’s second presidential term.
Barack Obama disclosed years before that we should “never underestimate Biden’s ability to f**k things up,” and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates declared Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Biden’s political agenda was about power and self-enrichment and never about America. It’s Obama Politics 101. Biden’s cognitive decline preceded his 2020 candidacy, and the entire Democrat contingent knew, and so did anyone paying attention with the media being complicit.
Legacy, like its brother legend, is often distorted and overrated. Statues are torn down, and headstones are knocked over. After a generation or two, no one remembers or cares. Name an Academy Award, Nobel Prize, or Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient from a decade ago. Instead, they are a trivia question – if they are lucky.
The innate yet fallen human condition wants to achieve something of significance that outlives us other than a weathering tombstone with our name etched upon it. Some will pay a high price to do so, even if it means selling out to evil.
The octogenarian Biden spends his final days in the Oval Office telling war stories. At the same time, his staff works to spite the incoming Trump administration by banning oil and gas drilling in federal waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans using a decades-old law that will make it difficult to reverse.
Enter the “modern myth maker,” the presidential library. Biden’s version will be constructed in Delaware – not Scranton. In honor of such an occasion, it will be a basement venue with an elevator incapable of reaching the first floor. Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents revised their Biden animatronic with Joe sleeping in a beach chair. Meanwhile, McDonald’s will feature a Biden burger that is Fluffernutter on burnt toast minus the beef.
The Democrat party and their media allies perpetuated a colossal fraud against America at the expense of national tranquility and security. They actively censored and criticized anyone who questioned Biden’s obvious cognitive impairments. And those constitutionally disposed to right the ship of state failed – the 25th Amendment be damned – is nothing short of treason.
This ongoing charade of woke democrats, leftists, and their enabling media should be more than enough to bury them all, but many remain incredulous.
After Obama and now Biden, who can blame them?
BONUS: Greg Maresca’s Annual Awards Spark Debate Over Rapper Zeddy Will’s Viral Paternity Photo
On the latest episode of The Unknown Podcast, investigative journalists Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe tackled a provocative topic from Greg Maresca’s Annual Review Awards.
Among the highlights was a viral photo of rapper Zeddy Will posing proudly with five women, all simultaneously pregnant with his children. The image, which won a dubious mention in Maresca’s awards, became the impetus for a lively discussion about modern celebrity culture, societal norms, and the monetization of parenthood.
“This is a rapper named Zeddy Will, and he’s managed to impregnate five women at the same time,” Luthmann explained, framing the discussion with equal parts amazement and criticism. Volpe responded by situating the image within a broader cultural trend: “When history is written about this era, this will be one of the unfortunate chapters. It reflects a culture where irresponsibility is normalized and even celebrated.”
The conversation also veered into comparisons with Elon Musk, who has fathered 13 children with multiple women. While Musk advocates for increased birth rates as a societal priority, Volpe critiqued the billionaire’s approach: “Just because you can financially support kids doesn’t mean you’re holistically supporting them.”
Luthmann acknowledged this: “There’s a difference between wealth and true emotional accountability.”
The journalists explored a larger issue: the financial incentive for some women to pursue parenthood with wealthy celebrities. Volpe cited high-profile cases, such as Kevin Costner’s contentious divorce, where child support became contentious.
“It’s a toxic culture on both sides,” Volpe remarked. “The rapper types are reckless; some women see these men as walking ATMs.”
Reflecting on the past, Luthmann and Volpe argued that today’s chaotic family structures are a stark departure from historical norms.
“This didn’t happen in the 1800s,” Volpe noted. “Back then, families were big for practical reasons, not tabloid fodder.”
The discussion closed with a somber irony. While some segments of society engage in reckless reproduction, others avoid parenthood altogether.
“It’s two sides of the same coin,” Volpe concluded. “We’re witnessing irresponsibility on one end and a societal devaluation of family on the other.”
