CAN THE NATION WAIT UNTIL JAN. 20? Joe Biden has 42 more days to serve as president of the United States. But anyone watching events in Paris over the weekend would think President-elect Donald Trump has already taken office. The president-elect traveled to France ostensibly to celebrate the reopening of Notre Dame cathedral, but the visit turned into high-level diplomacy between European leaders — French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, among others — and the next U.S. president. With the war in Ukraine at a critical stage, not to mention the Middle East continuing its meltdown, the event took on enormous significance, with Trump acting as de facto leader of the free world. The real president for the next six weeks, Biden, was back home, resting up.

Trump is quickly assembling an administration. After several weeks of mostly quiet working, he has been speaking more publicly in recent days about what he will do when he assumes the presidency on Jan. 20. Leaders in Washington and in the world are planning and preparing for that time. Biden seems less and less relevant to the conversation. “Biden has effectively disappeared from the radar,” Politico reports. “Within the Democratic Party, on Capitol Hill — and even within his own administration — it feels like he left the Oval Office weeks ago.”

But Biden is still president of the U.S., and Trump is not. If an emergency or a crisis arises, Biden, even in his weakened condition, will have to deal with it. Right now, it appears that much of the Biden administration is spending a significant amount of its time trying to “Trump-proof” Biden’s policies — that is, to tie the incoming president’s hands by making it difficult for him to change things. That’s not particularly productive work.

the peaceful transfer of power during the period of the November election and the swearing in in the second half of January has ordinarily been recognized by lame duck presidents as a cautious approach that recognizes the citizens have spoken to change the way America is run.

Biden is not a normal person.  He is attempting to thwart the dictates of the people by ramming thru judges, hurriedly spending budget monies, interfering with federal organizations by EOs to grant favors to employees, executing long term contracts to change work hours, and a myriad of other actions to make things difficult for the incoming administration.

Likely promotions to soon-to-be-fired employees are being handed out with impunity to pad pension benefits and bonuses.

Likely the most dangerous actions involve international affairs that will tie the hands of new authorities in DC, not to mention the very immoral granting of pardons on anyone and everyone. as well as last minute orders by EPA, etc. to significantly impact businesses and citizens across the land.

Another example of why we need Jan 20 to be tomorrow.

BREAKING: Joe Biden just handed Iran $10 billion
Dec. 10, 2024 by The Right Scoop

The only reason Joe Biden put sanctions on $10 billion in Iraqi energy payments to Iran, to prevent them from accessing it, was because of the November election. Now we are learning that, once the election was over, Biden made sure that Iran got every dime of that money and now the biggest funder of terrorism in the world can now use it to rebuild their terror operations against Israel.

Here’s more via Free Beacon:

The Biden-Harris administration waived sanctions on Iran three days after the November election, providing Tehran access upward of $10 billion in once-frozen funds, according to a copy of the non-public order transmitted to Congress and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined on November 8 that “it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring upward of $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.

The Biden-Harris administration has renewed the waiver repeatedly over the objections of congressional Republicans, who warned that the cash helped fuel terrorism and Iran’s war against Israel. In one case, the administration signed off on the sanctions relief one month after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.

The most recent iteration of the waiver lifts sanctions for 120 days, at which time the incoming Trump administration will have to decide whether Tehran will continue receiving the relief.

Though the first Trump administration did green-light the same waiver—causing tension with some congressional Republicans—it narrowly tailored the waiver to restrict Iranian access to the cash. The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman. Access to a widely traded currency like the euro enables Iran to more easily spend the cash in international markets. Under the first Trump administration, Iran had to keep the cash in an escrow account in Baghdad, making it more difficult to access.

The State Department confirmed last week that it issued the waiver.

This is exactly why Joe and Kamala lost the election to Trump. People are tired of this kind of weakness and duplicity on the world stage, especially as it pertains to Israel.

I guess Joe Biden wants to see another horrific terrorist attack against Israel, because that’s exactly what this money will be used for.
