In his farewell address to the nation on Wednesday night, President President Joe Biden declared,” It will take time for me to fully experience all that my Leadership has done.” The seedlings we planted may continue to bloom for a long time.

I’m worried he’s straight, for once.  ,
” Cancer. He’s describing tumor”, Dan Franck quipped on X in reply — and it’s already begun to metastasize. After promising and then delivering, Biden went on a spending and regulation saga that earned him the title of” Mr. Stimulus and Obamacare” Obama look when rational as John Adams. Also, according to the latest statistics, Biden’s chickens are coming home just in time to perch on Donald Trump’s view.
On Biden’s see — at Biden’s emphasis, actually — Washington’s finances and the government’s financial health are both in collapse.
This fiscal time has had the worst stop EVER:
– Spending is off 10.9 %
– Documents are over 2.2 %
– FYTD deficit up 39.4 % at$ 711 billion
They’re handing Trump a humming time bomb… photograph. twitter.com/q1DYC1Ep5q— E. J. Antoni, Ph. D. ( @RealEJAntoni ) January 15, 2025
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell delayed the election by putting a pause in the outcome for Biden and the Democrats. It didn’t do them any great on election time, but as you can see, Trump’s last name is littered with fatal mines.  ,
Where once there was a lovely lawn, Biden planted poison ivy seeds.  ,
That’s his reputation. That’s what Trump has apparently remove.
Because I’m filled with love for my fellow people of all social stripes] I merely choked on that, Steve —Editor], I would be remiss if I didn’t take the fairness and compromise, and advise you of the beneficial elements of Biden’s reputation.

OK, I think I have something.
By surviving well into the campaign season and long past his sell date, Biden accomplished two things of lasting importance. In a way that even the most amiable historians might find it impossible to hide, Biden sullied his reputation by becoming the first presidential nominee to be forced off the ballot in an undemocratic intra-party coup. Biden’s legacy is less than a one-and-done failure, like Jimmy Carter or George H. W. Bush.
Second — and even better — was Biden’s endorsement of his vice president, Kamala Harris, as his replacement, effectively short-circuiting Democrat hopes of holding an “insta primary” that might have produced a winnable candidate. Instead, Biden gave the country an unprepared mid-wit with just 107 days to put together a campaign. Not only did Biden screw the party that had screwed him, he effectively ended Harris’s national aspirations.  ,
I guess that’s three things. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Aside from making snide comments about the “positive” aspects of Biden’s legacy, I keep reminding readers here and at Instapundit that the system still contains a lot of Bidenflation and ruinous regulation.
