America’s Lame Duck President
As America enters a new political era; legacy politicians are giving their last stand in Washington. One week after Trump’s attempted assassination attempt; Joe Biden announced that he would be stepping down, and would not seek re-election in 2024. Now, Joe Biden stands as America’s Lame Duck President; his actions are now unrestrained, unbound to the will of his constituency. No matter the egregious errors Biden continues to make in policy; he will face no retribution from American citizens—nor recourse from his political cronies.
Further, Biden now likely operates as the scapegoat for contemporary deepstate operations. Thus, the fallacious enactment of public policy no longer requires a pretext. Now, the Establishment is no longer tasked with keeping Biden’s innocuous public image. Here, Biden can be utilized to further the encroachment of omnipotent despotism. The inane policy produced by the Biden Administration throughout his incumbency will likely be surpassed in his remaining few months of office, exposing his self-serving agenda. This is not an attack on Biden’s character; but an assessment of his morality and his reverence for the posterity of America. Biden now operates unrestrained by the bureaucracy.
Black’s Law Dictionary defines the term lame duck as “[a]n official, esp. an elected one, whose power has weaned because his or her term of office will end soon; esp. an elected official serving out of term after his successor has been elected. A person, business institution, etc. that is having serious problems and needs help,” (Garner, B., p. 1048). The Oxford Dictionary of Politics defines the term “lame duck” as an “American term for a person, legislature, or administration that continues to hold office after losing an election. The practice in the United States of holding presidential elections in November, with the winner taking office only in January (originally in March), means there are often lame duck presidents. Without a mandate the power to make decisions is undermined, and it becomes easier for opponents of measures to utilize delaying tactics, knowing that the President will soon be out of office,” (McLean, I., p. 274).
Here, it isn’t Biden’s opponents that present concern, but the bureaucracy that has been controlling this country for the past four years of his presidency. Moreover, Americans mustn’t forget that Kamala Harris was Vice President to Biden’s Administration. Harris stood by Biden through every erroneous decision to uproot democracy from the American people. The Biden Administration will now likely sacrifice America’s Lame Duck President by sabotaging our Republic. These political atrocities may include the presidential pardoning of his political cronies, major pharmaceutical companies, the Biden crime family, his son Hunter Biden, and himself. At this point, the court of public opinion wages no impact over the actions of the incumbent lame duck.
Historically, righteous politicians are an essential element to a successful Republic. Biblically, we are warned against wicked men attaining power; resulting in detriment to the nation’s citizenry. As it is written, “[w]hen the righteous triumph, there is great glory, But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves,” (Proverbs 28:12; NASB). In the Old Testament’s proverbs, the Lord reminds us that “[a] leader who lacks understanding is very oppressive, but one who hates dishonest profit prolongs his life,” (Proverbs 28:16; CSB). Biden has worked to enrich himself and his family throughout his career as a politician; through this he has incurred a depraved history of deceit. Biden has chased an illusory utopia, at the expense of the lives of Americns citizens. The Lord reminds us, “[t]he one whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit. Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty, (Proverbs 28:18-19; NIV).
Now America awaits the next announcement from Biden’s Administration. In the best favorable light, this will be a clean transfer of power; bringing our nation into a new political era. Americans can begin to recognize the maleficence that has infected Washington; and vote accordingly to elect a populist candidate that will better suit the needs of this nation and its people. In the worst possible light, Biden will bring our country to the brink of disaster. Then, facing imminent destruction and risking the lives of every citizen; Kamala Harris will be installed to remedy Biden’s political demolition. But no matter the perspective, America will prevail. Thus, it is our duty as American citizens to maintain Constitutional authority; and remain united in power—unphased by totalitarian tactics and attempts to usurp our inherent liberties.
