The Final Exit

It’s hard to write about Joe Biden in 2025. It was hard to write about him in 2019.

When he debated Trump in 2020 he denied that his son, Hunter had received millions from China and said that “there are 50 national security intelligence folks who said that what he’s (Trump’s) accusing me of is a Russian plan”.

Examination of the experts’ letter revealed that they admitted that they did not examine the laptop prior to making their assertion. The signers were well known anti-Trump activist. It was inconceivable that this unverified and biased writing and Biden’s use of it at the debate would have any weight at all.

Nevertheless, it ended up influencing the election and vague, bumbling, fabricating Joe Biden became president.

In the years to follow, Americans saw less and less of their president as his staff withdrew him from public observation and query. He flew to his Rehoboth, DE beachfront house nearly every weekend. We were told that no guest list was kept.

Democrats controlled Washington, D.C. and the national checkbook. Billions were spent on failed projects. Biden abandoned Afghanistan. His statement about Ukraine joining NATO may have led to its invasion by Russia.

Biden’s term was the greatest challenge ever faced by the United States in modern American history.

It was the Civil War redux.

Instead of the North (anti-slavery, union) winning it seemed like the South (racial divide, secession) had won.

Millions of unvetted illegal aliens crossed the southwest border of the United States. Instead of being turned back, they were admitted, released with cell phones, given access to health care, education, housing and welfare and transported to the city and state of their choice.

Former Homeland Security Director, Alejandro Mayorkas, repeatedly said “The border is secure,”. He drew out the words as if he were speaking to a toddler. All the while we watched columns of military age men with fresh haircuts, neat clothes and no personal property, (where were their suitcases? Were they sent separately? Who were the people? Did they have criminal records? Diseases? Were they foreign agents?) march into the United States.

Dems mocked critics’ concerns.

Then House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said “A wall is an immorality”.

Biden issued unconstitutional Executive Orders (Rent Moratoriums, Forgiveness of Student Loans). “It will take time to get through the courts,” he said at the time. They were subsequently overturned by the Supreme Court.

Americans watched things they valued, a job, a home, their families, pride in their nation, attacked by politically driven charges of racism, movements to Defund the Police, imposition of DEI.

As his term drew to a close, Biden pardoned his siblings, their spouses and his son, Hunter Biden (“the smartest guy I know”) for acts going back to 2014.

It was one of his last flip-offs.

Or so we thought.

He wasn’t done.

On the heels of the release of the Hur audiotapes (in which Biden alternately admits that he illegally held classified documents and resorts to the forgetful uncle persona, together with the upcoming release of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book “Original Sin, PRESIDENT BIDEN’S DECLINE, ITS COVER-UP, AND HIS DISASTROUS CHOICE TO RUN AGAIN” Biden’s doctors announced that a “new nodule was detected in his prostate” (Was there a prior nodule?) and that his cancer had metastasized to his bones.

Some medical experts have argued that Biden’s cancer must be longstanding, possibly even predating his 2020 election.

Biden is out of office and had no duty to release his medical records at this time.

So why was it done?

As his history has shown us, whenever a controversy gets too close, Biden turns up the sympathy thermostat.

During his term, we often saw Biden walking among the Grenville, DE cemetery where his son, Beau was buried.

Beau’s death, too, became Biden’s defense weapon.

“You really gonna attack a grieving father?”

Now, that border is closed, the American economy is turning around and identity policies are being dismantled, Americans’ eyes are being opened.

“Did that really happen to this nation? And so fast?” And one more question.

Was Biden receiving cancer therapy in his weekly trips to Rehoboth Beach?
