As Joe Biden’s time in the Oval Office limps toward the finish line, his final days seem like the perfect highlight reel of everything that went wrong.
Let’s start with the latest head-scratcher. He pardoned his son—a convicted criminal—despite his earlier vows not to. Oh, and among his mass commutations was a little gift to a judge convicted of taking kickbacks to send kids to for-profit detention centers. Yes: kids. And where was this beacon of justice from? Scranton, Pennsylvania—Biden’s so-called beloved hometown. Talk about hometown betrayal. If legacy-building were a game, Biden’s playing it in “expert” mode, but not in a good way. My sister lives in Scranton, and she tells me people are furious over the pardon.
And then there’s Joe’s most recent disappearing act. As drones are buzzing the East Coast and freaking people out, Biden has apparently decided to sit this one out. Inflation? Border chaos? America’s global street cred circling the drain. Yeah, he’s been MIA on those too. But now we’ve got drones sparking runway closures—like at the White Plains airport Friday night—and what’s the White House offering us? “Nothing to worry about.” Oh, okay, thanks. Super reassuring.
When asked who’s behind this bizarre drone-fest, the administration shrugged: “We don’t know, but trust us anyway.” Sure thing, guys. And just for kicks, let’s remember who’s delivering these pearls of wisdom: Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas. He’s the same guy who told us with a straight face that “the border is secure” while 11 to 20 million unvetted migrants streamed in. So when Mayorkas says, “Don’t worry,” I’m officially worried.
By contrast, Mar-a-Lago right now is buzzing with energy and excitement. It’s like the anti-Biden: full of life, plans, and people who look like they’re ready to rock and roll. There’s no sitting around mourning the past; Trump’s team is moving faster than a caffeinated cheetah to shape his next administration. His cabinet picks are dropping like mixtapes, and it’s clear he’s gearing up for a “hit the ground running” moment. These people can’t wait to get started.
Even FBI director Christopher Wray seems to be reading the room, announcing his resignation before he gets shown the door. It’s a smart move, honestly—he’s cutting his losses. Why fight a battle he’s already lost? After all, the “new sheriff in town” energy is palpable. Let’s hope Kash Patel visits Wray’s FBI legacy in court someday.

When asked by Time magazine about Kamala Harris’ worst mistakes, he nailed it in one: “Taking the assignment,” followed by, “Number one, because you have to know what you’re good at.” Ouch. That zinger might as well be the Democratic Party’s epitaph for the Biden years. They embraced the most radical agenda in history, let the fringe wag the dog, and now they’re wondering why voters handed them a one-way ticket to the political wilderness.
But the Democratic Party’s antics aren’t over. A bunch of them are reportedly planning to boycott Trump’s inauguration. Sound familiar? It’s a rerun of 2017 when over 50 Democrats skipped the ceremony and then spent two years plotting impeachment. Fast forward to now, and Axios reported that 13 Democrats are definitely not coming, with 20 others “undecided,” and only 44 attending. Guys, it’s an inauguration, not your high school prom.
Meanwhile, foreign leaders are doing what Democrats apparently can’t: showing some respect. Over in Europe, Trump was warmly received by leaders like Italy’s Giorgia Meloni. Oh, and Prince William? According to Newsweek, the future king turned into a “fanboy.”
Now that’s a glow-up for Trump’s international relations.
Back home in the States, even some Democrats are starting to get it. Take NYC Mayor Eric Adams, who met with incoming border czar Tom Homan to discuss mass deportations. Sure, Adams might be trying to save face after a DOJ indictment, but his desperation is real. I think the Trump DOJ should drop the indictment because everyone knows it came about when Adams went against the lunacy of the Biden administration’s open border policies that were crushing his city.
And then there’s the political theater starring Daniel Penny. Invited by J.D. Vance and Trump to the Army-Navy game, Penny is a former Marine who became a folk hero for protecting subway passengers from a mentally ill man who became a violent threat. His acquittal in a sham trial brought by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has only solidified his reputation as a symbol of courage. Bragg, of course, is the poster child for everything wrong with the Democrats—willing to bend justice to fit his political agenda even when it violates the rules of due process.
So there you have it: Joe Biden’s presidency is ending like a deflating tube man balloon, while the Trump train is revving up for a full-throttle comeback. The contrast couldn’t be clearer, and if the Democrats don’t wake up soon, they might find themselves permanently stuck in the political rearview mirror.
