With only ten days left in Joe Biden’s presidency, the nation can almost smell the fresh air of a new administration. On one recent Friday, Biden demonstrated once again why he’s been a walking gaffe machine throughout his time in office. During a call with California Governor Gavin Newsom, he remarkably dismissed concerns over fire hydrants amid ongoing wildfires, and somehow twisted the conversation into an attack on “misinformation,” as if anyone calling out Newsom’s disasters has some sort of vendetta against the truth.
That wasn’t the end of Biden’s theatrical display. After addressing the economy, he stumbled into questions with a perplexing admission about party unity. He boasted that he could have beaten Donald Trump and even suggested Kamala Harris had a shot too. It begs the question: is Biden aware that the election is long over, and the majority of Americans opted for anyone but him? The irony is palpable as he claims to be concerned about party unity while the power players within his own ranks have been looking for a life raft all along.
The incoherence continued when the subject of pardons came up. Biden’s answer was a chaotic jumble that suggested he was waiting to see what Trump might do before making any decisions about who to pardon in these final days. This absurd notion—that the fate of his pardons relies on the former president’s actions—paints a staggering picture of a man clearly preoccupied with the shadow of Trump. Who knew Trump would still have so much real estate in Biden’s mind even after four years of a Biden presidency?
One can’t help but wonder about the potential pardons Biden might contemplate. While he claims not to have done anything wrong himself, his administration’s growing list of pardoning considerations speaks volumes. With speculation about pardoning figures like Anthony Fauci and Liz Cheney, Biden’s rationale seems as tangled as his sentences. If nobody did anything wrong, then why not just ignore the whole pardoning issue and save face?
Biden Goes Off the Rails in Bizarre Remarks About Kamala, Pardons, and Zuckerberghttps://t.co/UR1YJSTNMN

In another fiasco, Biden took aim at Mark Zuckerberg for shifting Meta’s policy on fact-checking, but his argument unraveled quickly. His condemnation of changes in the social media landscape felt more like deflection than genuine concern for truth. While he lamented about the integrity of information and the shameful act of allowing false narratives to spread, it’s almost comical coming from a man whose presidency has been riddled with misleading statements and inconsistencies.
The crux of Biden’s argument seems less about honesty and more about controlling the narrative. When he claims that the conversation should be about truth, it’s clear that he means the specific truths that fit the liberal agenda. Rather than championing free expression, the current administration often appears more interested in censorship masked as fact-checking, directly contradicting the very principles that define America. If Biden genuinely valued truth over politics, he would need to start by holding himself accountable first.
