Biden’s final days in office are becoming more like a sad sitcom than a farewell tour. His recent interview with MSNBC could be summed up as a delusional performance where he vehemently critiqued “red states” while seemingly forgetting about his record of failure during his administration. The increasingly sycophantic media environment he’s embraced only highlights the gap between his rosy perceptions and the grim reality his policies have wrought on the American populace.
While Biden wraps up his time in the White House, California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing his own catastrophic fallout. The combustion of a lithium battery facility in California is a fitting metaphor for the implosion of his governance. Newsom’s attempt to champion green energy initiatives is going up in literal flames. For someone who so ardently promotes progressive ideals, this disaster serves as an appetizer of accountability — or perhaps a buffet of embarrassment.
#BidenFarewellAddress was a bitter ending to a failed presidency. He could've been gracious but as expected; he wasn't. As he leaves the stage; he & his handlers are flipping off the majority of the country by stifling many of Trump's promises out of pure infantile spite. pic.twitter.com/MotqbUPjxq

In the meantime, former President Donald Trump has released a list of individuals he plans to keep at arm’s length if he returns to the White House. Unsurprisingly, the names on this list showcase the disdain people have earned through their relentless efforts to undermine him. The term “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has become somewhat of a badge of honor for the offenders, proving that some in the political arena can be consistently counted on to misplace their priorities.
Attention on Capitol Hill will see a lull today, with the only highlight being the confirmation hearings for Kristi Noem, Trump’s nominee for Homeland Security Secretary. If she manages to steer the department in the right direction, it could mark a significant shift back to a law-and-order approach after years of liberal neglect. Though the Democrats are expected to unleash the usual barrage of partisan nonsense, the hope is that Noem embodies the kind of solid, conservative leadership that the country sorely needs.
As Biden prepares for his Sunday farewell strategy of church visits and museum tours, the focus turns to the festivities surrounding Trump’s imminent inauguration as the 47th president. Meanwhile, onlookers are also keeping an eye on the Supreme Court as it gears up to make a potentially game-changing ruling on TikTok’s future. In a political environment saturated with drama, the coming days promise a whirlwind of activity, and conservative America is primed and ready—head on a swivel and expectations high.
