LIZ PEEK: Biden continues to offend Americans with last-minute moves. Republicans can stop it
NEWNow you can listen to Fox News articles!
President Joe Biden it spits in the face of average Americans. By honoring billionaire George Soros, banning exploration of 625 million acres in federal waters for oil and gas exploration, and easing sentences for convicted murderers, Biden is offending the majority of the country that voted for Donald Trump.
Americans voted for “Drill, baby, drill,” energy independence and reviving investment in our vast oil and gas reserves. They voted for tougher law enforcement, a secure border, and deportations of (especially) criminals and others illegally in the US. They voted out people like Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon who put criminals before citizens.
Republicans must warn the president: Continue to defy the wishes of the American voters and we will destroy the last vestiges of your legacy. We are ready to claim that you are not mentally capable, that you are not and have not led the country, and that therefore your dictates should be canceled at the last minute.
BIDEN DISMISSED TRUMP, SAYS HE WAS A ‘REAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY’
GOP lawmakers must tell the president after he leaves The Oval Office he will be called before Congress to testify about his lame duck policy, to convince the country that he is the one who decided to block energy investment, to protect Social Security workers from having to go to the office and shovel unspent money approved by the Inflation Reduction Act out the door, despite our $36 trillion debt.
Picture the scene: Biden, described by special counsel Robert Hur as an “elderly man with a failing memory,” can’t answer even the simplest questions about offshore drilling or gets flustered when asked why he would pay tribute to the controversial George Soros. Biden grows nervous as lawmakers seek his rationale for guaranteeing 42,000 Social Security workers can stay home indefinitely, thwarting the Trump team’s efforts to make our government more accountable. Really, it would be delicious.
Not possible, you say? Congress wouldn’t dare demand a former president sit down for questioning? Remember when the January 6 Committee subpoenaed former President Trump asking him to testify under oath on November 14, 2022? It can happen.
At the very least, it would undoubtedly scare Biden and his handlers into stopping the provocative spasm of progressive measures being introduced every day. Measures that cement Biden’s status as one of the most unpopular presidents in our history.
Why would Biden burn his already poor legacy? Why go out on such a low note?
Biden’s defenders will tell you that he does not make these controversial decisions. They say that the main ones are his “handlers”, as well as most of the past four years. And that his team, which is so bitterly partisan, embraces progressive politics and wants to award medals to the likes of Liz Cheney, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros, individuals that conservatives hate.
Even at the beginning of his presidency, there were reports that Biden was not making decisions in the White House. In January 2022 Editorial Board of the New York Post published an article based on reports from Axios titled “The Man in Charge of the White House Is Not Joe Biden.” The story claimed that left-leaning Chief of Staff Ron Klain was responsible for setting legislative priorities — priorities that a clueless Biden failed to outline during a “disastrous” news conference.
If Biden is not in charge, a number of recent regulations should be ignored. After all, voters didn’t elect Jeff Ziento, Biden’s chief of staff, or Jill, his wife, to run the country; they elected Joe Biden. The president could no more convince the country before a congressional committee that he makes decisions than he could competently debate Donald Trump.
It would be a terrible shame for Biden, but he deserves it. By deliberately engaging in activities that are sure to raise the political temperature, Biden (or his team) has ceded the top.
TRUMP PLANS TO END BIDEN’S LNG PAUSE, INCREASE OIL DRILLING IN FIRST DAYS IN OFFICE: REPORT
Every day seems to bring new violations. Recently, the White House banned natural gas water heaters, which is sure to increase heating costs for seniors while doing nothing for the planet. In addition, Biden has:
1. Decided to award our nation’s highest civilian honor – the Presidential Medal of Freedom – to a Trump hater Hillary Clinton as well as George Soros. Biden described these individuals as deserving of this recognition because they are “great leaders who have made America a better place.” Few Americans would agree that Soros, the Democratic financier in charge, who supported district attorneys weak in law enforcement, or Hillary Clinton, who lied about the terrorist attack in Benghazi and her mishandling of classified information, and who undermined Trump’s first term at authorities inventing the Russiagate Fraud made the US a better place.
2. Sold out materials already purchased for the southern border wall for dimes on the dollar, complicating things President-elect Trump’s promise for border protection.

3. Honoree Liz Cheney, an anti-Trump Republican appointed by the then-Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi serve on Committee J-6, Presidential Citizen Medal. Cheney was credibly accused of witness tampering and other misconduct related to her involvement in the J-6 show trial, and was unceremoniously rejected by voters in her (overwhelmingly red) home state.
4. Pardoned his son Hunter Biden for crimes known and unknown over an extensive 11-year period, including the years Joe was vice president, and the family profited from influence peddling.
5. Pour billions of dollars left over from the Democrats’ reckless, inflation-inducing spending into hastily proposed projects instead of returning the funds to taxpayers.

What’s next? Probably more pardons and more misguided policies.
With less than two weeks to go, the GOP must end this lame duck insult marathon. Today.
