Joe Biden’s Long Goodbye

What is the Joe Biden Democrat legacy? Lies and using the government hammer to make their fortune as they sold their country to foreign powers like China.

That is the Biden legacy.

It was always lies with China Joe. He’ll always be a liar. He was a liar 50 years ago when he used his brother as the bagman and he’s a liar now as a senile old man, with his son Hunter as the family bagman.

They’re old school Democrats, and so they’ve always been grifters as well. The Biden Crime Family have been grifters for a half century, using Democrat politics and the government hammer to build their fortunes, taking treasure from foreign oligarchs in China, Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere while wrapping themselves up in American patriotic virtue. And they’ve also taken from American tech oligarchs like Mark Zuckerberg and others who paid the Bidens big-time by helping them suppress legitimate news stories to protect Biden Inc. ,and the Biden hold on power.

And after all they’ve done, Joe and Jill are the ones who are the guardians of democracy? I don’t think so.

Part of the Biden genius has been to corrupt their allies. So the Democrat Party from Barack Obama on down lied to us to keep Biden as a figurehead in power. They shouted down and threatened anyone who would dare tell the truth to the American people.  He was their meat puppet, yes, a dangerous meat puppet with nuclear codes setting the world on fire. But he was their meat puppet.

Years ago, when I first called him a meat puppet, I was harassed by left wing media writers (is their any other kind?) They asked that I respect the office of the presidency. But Joe didn’t respect it, did he? He spat on it.

In Joe Biden, America has never seen a politician so wedded to lies. The Biden lies oozed from him unbidden. And thanks to the Federalist online magazine, we have a comprehensive list of his lies.

“Let’s get something in mind about the border: When I became president, the numbers came way down,” Biden told reporters.

No, Joe, the numbers went way up. You had invited the world to surge the border and the world did as you asked. Your administration kept telling us that the border was secure. It wasn’t. That cost you the election.

The White House lied for him. Obama’s Deep State lied for him pushing the world to the very edge of nuclear war. He is the Idiot Wind.

And Monday, as President Donald Trump takes the oath of office, our long national nightmare with China Joe Biden will finally be over. But is it the time, as Democrats demand, of letting bygones be bygones? No. Not yet. Did the Democrats ease their boots from our throats? Not because of their kindness, but of necessity. Their shock troops in the left wing corporate media are weak and in disarray.

So if you’re asking me to let the old man fade into senility, I’m sorry. I just can’t. The Democrats carried the lie, perpetuated the lie and now we’re supposed to show respect to the feeble politician just because he’s a senile old man?

No. I can’t do that after all the Democrats have done. Throw a shroud on him. He’s done. But I won’t reward them. Yes, I know many of you are tired and want this coming week to be one of unity and celebration as Donald J. Trump is sworn into office, again. I want this to be a unifying moment for my countrymen who are exhausted. I get it.

But first I think there should be a reckoning.

There can be no forgiveness without admission of guilt. There can be no redemption without first confession. And the Democrats have much to seek forgiveness for.

There must be a reckoning for what they’ve done, from lying about the border to lying about justice, turning the Department of Justice into his political hit squad. And there is so much more for the Democrats to reckon with, including Democrats standing against the rule of law to thwart legitimate deportations of illegals that entered the country illegally and committed terrible crimes. And a reckoning for the more than 300,000 children lost to the sex traffickers on the border.

And beginning this week, look for the corrupt corporate legacy media to go into full “resistance mode.”

But the liberal media won’t ever be able to recover. The stench of their relationship propping up Joe still emanates from their pores, like a drunken eaters of raw garlic passed out in a steam bath.

As the corporate media claps its paws like trained squirrels, demanding “unity” and pouting when they don’t get it like the cynical TV leftist shrews of “The View,” please consider the cynicism of the American Intelligence officers who lied for Joe Biden, the Shameless 51.

To his lies that the Southern border was secure, to all those lies he heaped on the American plate in his farewell address, the shameless corporate legacy media that I was once a part of praised him and locked the gates of hell upon themselves. What we once called the corporate media is now dead. You heard the eulogies in their praise of Biden’s cheap farewell speech.

“I think that was maybe one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard Joe Biden give,” said former Obama adviser and CNN commentator David Axelrod.

Really, David? One of the greatest speeches? Like the one in which he stood before the blood red wall in Philadelphia in 2022, and accused Republicans of being threats to the republic?

“Maga Republicans do not respect the Constitution,” said Biden. “They do not believe in the rule of law… and they’re working right now as I speak, in state after state, to give power to decide elections in America, to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.”

Democrats always reveal themselves and the Banana Republic they wanted when they project their fears.

Remember that it was Axelrod’s cynical use of media that created Obama. And it was Obama who fantasized, after he left office, about having his very own meat puppet and telling that meat puppet what to say.

That meat puppet was Joe Biden.

So yes, I want a reckoning. For the liar in chief, and for all his trolls and enablers.

I love the United States of America, and there must be a reckoning.

  1. The reckoning must begin with Nancy. After coordinating Jan 6th, to insider trading, to selling all of us so she can stock her $20 million SF townhouse with fancy ice cream. Then go from there; such as Garland, Wray, Pennetta, etc. The list is VERY long.

  2. Huzzah! In 24 Hours this great nation will earn back its laurels and accountability will return to government.

    Thanks you, John Kass, for your heroic part in returning the American voice to the American people!

  3. Prosecute. The list is long, but those criminals need to feel the consequences of their actions. Otherwise, it truly is a two-tiered justice system, one lenient system for the elites and one for everyone else, the chumbalones. A common thief might have a few hundred victims over his career, but these democrats made all of us victims, the have millions of victims. And we’re supposed to look the other way? No. Prosecute them.

  4. John – great column as always, and you’re spot on. One thing we can’t lose sight of locally is the reckoning that is needed in the Chicagoland area, where Dem politics is alive and well. And it’s strangling the state.
    Why else would IL counties want to be moving to Indiana?

    1. You forgot about the ones that want to remain in Illinois, but shove Chicago out on its ass – and possibly include some of the collar counties with it. Sadly, Wisconsin considers them all tarred with the stench of Chicago and Springfield, and won’t take the northern tier of counties. But perhaps Iowa and Missouri will offer refuge to some on the west border.

  7. Spot on! And please everybody, keep praying for his protection. I don’t care if they move the oath of office to a broom closet with cameras, or the Oval Office half-bath.

    1. DJT. Pray for President Trump. I somehow think Sniffer Joe will be just fine, if they can only sedate him, get on the moving van dolly, and ship him home.

        1. Thank you for bringing us together (Kass Nation ) on a cold Jan Sunday. Reading the responses are a gift in addition to your awesome columns. Ja Biden gave my son’s ND graduation speech. To see with my own eyes his decline has been stunning. I personally feel his exit is what his family deserves. His arrogance turned out to be more than Nancy’s. Stay warm folks.

  9. Too true! The only real deterrent is the certainty of retribution. A lot of Democrats need to go to prison – real prison – and it needs to be done by public arrests or midnight SWAT visits. Security clearances and passports need to be pulled, careers ruined, families separated, pensions denied, and public humiliation must occur; otherwise, the Lois Lerners, John Brennans, and Bidens of the world will simply try again a few years in the future since too many ‘got away with it’. There’s too much else to be done in President Trumps first two years, but after the midterms, for the sake of the country, it needs to be payback time no matter how unpopular in certain quarters.

  10. The demorats gave perpetrated one of the biggest grifts in history. Believe me when I say history will not be kind to them! I’m still perplexed about the 39% of voters who think Biden was a great president. To quote you John, are they smoking Obama’s hopium?

  11. Amen, John!! As always, an outstanding column! Can this jackass we tolerated as President ever be brought to justice? Hopefully Trump can clean house and expose to the world all that’s been happening!

  12. Let Hunter testify, he has no immunity. Subpoena the mope before congress and make him tell the truth. His Uncle Jim should be next. Then Vindeman, Sen. LIAR Schiff ect.
    Pam Bondi can be an extremely busy AG if she demands the truth from the enablers.
    Every one of those 51 signers should be called before a congressional investigative committee.

  13. Γιάννη,
    Part of me wants to go ballistic on the Bidens and sycophants that covered for them. But I also realize our new president has bigger fish to fry, and can’t risk getting bogged down in endless procedures to document all of Joe’s sins, which are countless! We learned in Sunday school that our Lord will forgive us if we confess our sins. I’ve also come to realize there is a certain calmness and peace that comes once you’re able to forgive those who’ve wronged you. It’s an enlightened feeling. However, part of me still seeks retribution for the crimes committed by the whole Biden combine against our country. Therein lies my (and your) dilemma!!!

  14. Great column, JK — only wish it had been twice as long. You could have included his being a Senate best-buddy of Dixiecrat racists, trying to plagiarize the life story of a British politician, slandering an honorable Supreme Court nominee, and — well, the list is too long. A writer’s sympathies if your head hurts just recalling this idiot’s odious history. (Mine did.)

    But Biden’s gluttonous grifting of democracy has never been better described than in today’s column. A toast to the man who stood tall in the Tower.

    Best wishes today for the good health and further achievements of one valuable guy in Washington, D.C. and another in Indiana.

  15. The overwhelming destruction that the Bidens, this administration, and the rest of his Leftist Democrat ilk, have wrought upon our great nation is unforgivable. I’m all for heating up vast vats of tar, tearing open those old feather pillows, and building stocks in our public squares. It’s Shock and Awe time once again. Keep up the voice of We the People, Mr. Kass!

  16. Great column John.

    There’s so much for DJT and (next two terms) young Vance to fix here. May God grant them the strength and wisdom to do right by all of America.

    My simple starting point.

    Fix or replace the FBI and CIA. There’s trouble brewing in our homeland and the enemies who would cause this trouble are here and dug in.

    Then start the investigations with who has been running the country in Bidens name. After that move on to publishing the Epstein and Hush money lists.

    I have to agree with Leo that forgiveness is a good thing. Forgiveness I find is a gift from God. It frees the mind to make things right.

  17. Yes, there must be a full reckoning to expose their crimes to the world. And it has to be a reckoning with consequences. Why? As a warning to future generations to never, ever let this happen again.

  18. Yeah, life was hell under Biden, but not the funny Matt Groening rabbit comic strip. It was more like Prickly City, where people perform inexplicable actions and a coyote and kid are dumbfounded by it.

    The MSM I usually read nowadays when I’m bored. I see them take my comments off their sites, lock my X account for no reason, and I get a gallows humor kind of laugh about it. Less than 60,000 viewers watch CNN now at any given time, according to Glenn Greenwald. Sometimes the reckoning comes from the scoundrels themselves. There was a guest op-ed in the New York Crimes saying that America was now united––in that about 70% of us are skeptical about institutions of old. When people are lied to for so long, they just move on eventually. And the smugness is intolerable. People think a Nobel Prize or PhD makes them win arguments, and they pull rank. But the facts are the facts. And if not Biden, the Dems deserve to learn a harsh lesson.

    1. Jeff, didn’t you hear that much of Hunter’s “artwork” was in a storage facility close to his attorney’s home in the LA fire zone and went up in smoke. How convenient. That will be a massive casualty loss which he won’t even have to sell. Maybe if some still exists it can hang in the Getty or AIC or even the Louvre! Not! Just another grift.

  20. A very good indictment. I fear the recidivism in the Swamp criminal class will negate much deterrent benefit. Punishment of the worst offenders is a must though, and Congress won’t do it. Just as the Swamp surface algae closes back up after a rock is thrown. Don’t let it die a death by committee. “The cohesive power of plunder.”

  21. There needs to be a LOT of reckoning for those is DC that committed crimes – no get out of jail free cards.

    We’re counting on Pam Bondi to independently lead the charge to bring justice from her “JUSTICE Department” for the American people.

    Nothing will help change the culture of lawfare and cheating more than having consequences when caught and proscuted.

  22. John, I’ve got a personal interest in this China thing. I remember a couple years ago when you were still with the Trib, you intimated that the Chinese control Oak Lawn. I emailed you about it but didn’t get a response. I live in Oak Lawn, as you once did growing up. What evidence do you have that the Chinese are infiltrating Oak Lawn, or is it a hunch, or do you know something I don’t?

    Because I’m frenetically trying to do my best to point out the futility of a hot war with China, not out of any individual gain, but because I think it would lead to WWIII and nukes would wipe out tons of people, supposing their half-lives are still active.

    The Masons, and through their kickbacks the police, seem to have a connection to the Chinese, who may still be loyal communists, at their massage parlors I investigated and told you about. Nearly every massage parlor in the neighboring suburbs outside of Oak Lawn, which has tried to keep them away, has a MAP sticker on the door, which if you know a little cryptography stands for MA-SON, as the Egyptians used the letter P to denote the sun; it has come to signify Jesus too, as in the Catholic Kairos ritual, XP.

    While Oak Lawn has diversified, mostly the addition of more Mexicans and Arab families, I don’t see too many Oriental people around here. If you have any information, please pass it along to me.

    Thanks.

  23. Once again John, no one else could say it better than you. From the beginning of his presidency, even Stevie Wonder could see there was something wrong with him, but the liberal media and the democratic puppets kept shoveling the lies to us that he was sharper than a tack. Then when the powers that be decided maybe he wasn’t fit for prime time anymore made the decision to replace him with Kamala Harris ( who at first seemed to work hard not to replace Joe with) Deemed to run her in his place. The liberal democrats just seem to run around in circles and chase their tails. I tell my democrat friends who say they’re democrats because their fathers voted democrat, I say remember that this is not your father’s democratic party. Let’s look forward to a better tomorrow starting tomorrow!

  24. A reckoning we must have. But it will take some time. Wait until President Trump gets into office and really sees the mess that the Biden Administration and the Democrats wrought. I hope President Trump showcases each and every treachery he finds to the American People. This country has been so divided by these Democrat clowns that it will take a decade to heal. I for one would be willing travel to DC to watch Pelosi, Wray and the rest of cabal getting their butts handed to them in court and then I’ll take out the prosecutors out for steak afterwards.

  25. Awesome Sunday column John Kass . Thank you for remembering those 300,000 children lost to sex traffickers. Your words about corrupting the DOJ “into his political hit squad” are precise. We need to remember this disgrace, because devious politicians will try it again. As you point out, it was the Axlerod -types who created the Biden deception. Two decades ago David Axelrod helped launch the fiction of Barack & Michelle Obama as saintly heroes. Two shining stars, to be admired for their honesty and integrity. It was toxic Kool-aide, but media stooges gulped it down and begged for more. When the Obama lakefront library opens, Democrats and Republicans alike will kneel before pompous Barack and kiss his ring. No one will mention the Biden crew. They’ll be erased from history like the ghosts of brain-dead Woodrow Wilson and his despotic wife Edith.

  26. Thank you John Kass for this column and it’s spelling out of truth and facts. I enjoyed your statement, “There can be no forgiveness without admission of guilt. There can be no redemption without first confession. And the Democrats have much to seek forgiveness for.”
    Of course you know that he is to visit a church in Charleston today and had to hurry his morning appearance telling all about the “hostages”….and he must hurry out to his transport for that trip to Charleston. Stumbled through that little mini appearance also..
    25 more hours and we can really start a new USA…God bless you John Kass and God bless President Donald Trump and keep him and his family safe and secure.
    Tom

  27. A friend (very liberal) posted last night on her FB page quoting an article by Heather Cox Richardson that basically said the sky is falling and the republic will not survive without democrats at the helm. That Trump got more and better coverage than Kamala’s campaign and implying that tomorrow will be a black day in the US. Biden’s “accomplishments including the hostage swap and cease fire were credited solely to him. Even though it has been reported some of his staff admit Trump brought it across the finish line. I chose not to roll in the mud and argue. . Pritzger and Johnson have vowed to thwart deportation efforts by allowing name changes (which records of course are confidential and not accessible to the feds.). Glad I no longer live in Illinois but a solid red (save some cities) state.

  28. Hard to say what’s worse. Old school Irish political grifters like Daleys, Madigans , Burkes etc…or New School Communist Grifters like any Hispanic Chicago Aldercreature (except for Ray Lopez). The New Grift is led by the AOCs, Elizabeth Warren and best exemplified by California politicians like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom. Lead the stupid and the stupid will follow. And so goes Chicago. I escaped six years ago and now live in a Free State. I torment myself by still watching Chicago news. I ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE you that if you watch any five pm newscast you will be presented with the usual cast of aggrieved sign wavers with the usual cast of grievances benefitting their aggrieved benefactors who operate the usual “nonprofits”. The “New Grift” operates on a scale the Sicilians could only dream about a hundred years ago. Isn’t it funny that the state of Illinois is legalizing prostitution? The state has legalized gambling, dope and whores. The same thing they used to put mobsters in prison for….
