Biden's Party is Over… and the Hangover Has Begun
As we approach the last year of Joe Biden’s term, it’s an opportune moment to reflect back on January of 2021. Our new President had been inaugurated (though we still don’t know that he was elected). Democrats believed the evil Trump had been vanquished from the body politic forever. We were assured that blue-collar Joe from Scranton was going to return normalcy to Washington -- as if that were a good thing.
Biden was riding high in the polls. His “wingmen” were in control of the executive branch. His allies were in power in Congress and his media lapdogs would guarantee that all news was good news. It was a heady time for team Biden.
The Left was giddy too. In Joe Biden, they had found that one kid in the gang who would act on any suggestion and accept any dare. Nothing could stop them now. This would be their opportunity complete the “fundamental change” that Barack Obama had started, but not finished -- because he had a sense of self-preservation that Joe lacks.
So, the Left unleashed their man-child in the candy store without adult supervision. Joe did what any spoiled child would do. He indulged his every wish -- and he wished to play king. He plundered the candy store like a Viking raider, with complete disregard that the sugar-high would be followed by a stomachache. The man-child was oblivious to the notion that in the adult world, choices come with consequences. That’s a lack of wisdom universal to immaturity regardless of whether one is 8 or 80.
Biden’s first year in office was a time of historic action -- and not in a good way.
Goaded by the Left, Joe unleashed his inner id, using his pen and phone to fulfill his lusts, and those of his radical toadies. With every action he considered, his gallery of sycophants remained behind him chanting: Go ahead Joey. Do it. We double dog dare you. And Joe did it -- consequences be damned.
He bragged about beating the tyrant Trump, and signed executive orders at a rate of dozens per day -- to cancel any accomplishment of Trump. It was irrelevant to him if Trump’s achievements were beneficial to Americans. If Donald did it, Joe undid it because… well, just because.
He threw our borders open to foreign invasion, simply because Trump had closed them. Joe’s policies added an additional 3.8 million criminals to our society. That’s enough people to populate Los Angeles -- admitted with no vetting, no control, and no apology.
Joe added $5 trillion to our national debt -- enough $100 bills to reach the Moon and back 10 times. The spending drove inflation to a 40-year high. Interest rates reached a 20-year high, as the Federal Reserve struggled to tame the mess. In so doing, Joe placed home mortgages out of reach for many Americans.
He choked domestic energy production, making us again dependent on foreign oil. Prices for gas and electricity skyrocketed. In the process, he enriched Russia (a producer of oil) and China (a producer of solar and wind technology). We’re expected to pay no attention to the little issue that the Biden family received millions of dollars from Russia and China, for no apparent service.
Joe surrendered unconditionally to the Taliban in Afghanistan. As we fled, 13 soldiers were killed, Joe broke our word to our allies, and he armed a global threat. It was done because he wanted a talking point on the twentieth anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center.
Joe shipped billions of dollars of our war material to Ukraine -- which coincidentally was another multi-million-dollar benefactor of the Biden family. While he armed Ukraine, our own military has fallen to its lowest level of preparedness since before WWII. But our soldiers do get their pronouns correct now.
Joe funded Hamas, using Iran as a financial cutout. Hamas then committed the single largest one-day killing of Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas’ Bidenbucks facilitated murder, gang rape, kidnapping, and infanticide. While the world watched in horror, Joe went on another beach vacation.
Joe used the power of the executive branch to infringe on our rights of assembly, religion, speech, property, due process, and self-defense. When stopped by the courts, he didn’t comply but pursued workarounds -- showing utter contempt for the Constitution that he is sworn to defend.
He weaponized our criminal justice system, breaking all legal precedents in a childish tantrum to punish anyone whom he disliked. Actual criminal wrongdoing was irrelevant. Political adversaries, pro-life protesters, election deniers, and non-compliant members of the press had their homes raided and faced criminal prosecution via creative application of laws, for purposes that were never intended.
Biden gave a national address standing before a satanic red backdrop with symbols of his military power standing at attention. He dehumanized half of the Americans whom he is sworn to represent, calling them semi-fascists. In other comments he has repeatedly threatened military force against anyone who challenges his government.
Joe Biden’s first year in office was a time of great hubris, for which I’m sure he felt entitled, given his 46 years of “government service.” But Greek philosophy frowns on hubris for a reason:
Hubris was not something you wanted to be accused of if you were in ancient Greece. It was thought to be behavior outside the norm. Most specifically, that behavior in which one would attempt to defy -- or challenge -- the gods. To display such arrogance meant that you became a target of Nemesis and she is inescapable.
So, has Joe:
- Acted outside the norm in weaponizing the government against its people? Check.
- Defied God by infringing on God-given rights? Check.
- Displayed arrogance by ignoring his oath and the courts? Check.
Joe dared Nemesis, the Greek Goddess of Divine Retribution, to pay him a visit. It seems that Nemesis has now arrived, signaling that the party has ended, and the hangover has begun.
As we near the end of Joe’s first term, his last year looks very different from the first.
- Biden’s approval is down to 34 percent, and that doesn’t appear to be the floor.
- The party he leads is losing the minority vote, and tearing itself apart over its hatred of Jews.
- His son is facing felony charges for being the collections guy in the family bribery business.
- The House of Representatives has opened an impeachment investigation, because the corruption became too great to ignore.
- Biden faces the possibility that his legacy will be as America’s most corrupt President.
- The public is ridiculing him for his inability to navigate stairs or stages.
- His friends are abandoning him.
- His nemesis Trump is poised to exact revenge in 11 short months.
If Biden were an adult, he might reflect on the last three years and wish that he’d simply exercised a bit of self-control. But that’s not who Joe Biden is. President “Man-Child” will spend his last year stamping his feet, denying any wrongdoing, and demanding more candy.

Iranian, Chinese Charged by US With Illegally Supplying Drone Technology to Tehran
An Iranian and a Chinese national have been charged in a scheme to illegally supply U.S.-made drone components to Iran, according to the Department of Justice.
Iranian national Hossein Hatefi Ardakani and Chinese national Gary Lam are accused in the scheme that spanned from at least September 2014 to September 2015, the DOJ said in an indictment unsealed on Dec. 19. Mr. Lam, also known as Lin Jinghe, was based in Hong Kong and China during that period.
The drone components were intended for use in the drone program of the Iranian terrorist organization Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to the DOJ.
“Today’s announcements show that we remain focused on disrupting the efforts of Iran and its agents to circumvent U.S. sanctions in support of Iran’s weapons programs, including its drone program, which have been used to support and supply terrorist organizations and other foreign adversaries—such as Russia—around the globe,” U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves said in a statement.
The latest criminal case is part of the broader issues involving the close ties between Tehran and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the current and past U.S. administrations’ Iran policy. Earlier this month, a group of Republican senators introduced legislation that focuses on weakening the two authoritarian regimes’ relationship.
Mr. Ardakani and Mr. Lam allegedly conspired to buy dual-use microelectronics that are commonly used in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) during the one-year period, according to prosecutors. The microelectronics included high electron mobility transistors, monolithic microwave integrated circuits, power amplifiers, and analog-to-digital converters—each of which are subjected to U.S. export controls for reasons that include anti-terrorism and national security.

Dual-use devices can be used for military and civilian purposes. For example, high electron mobility transistors are found in hybrid electric vehicles and advanced radar systems.
“U.S. technology has zero place in Iranian UAVs,” Matthew Axelrod, assistant secretary for export enforcement at the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security, said in a statement.
“As these allegations demonstrate, those who procure dual-use microelectronics for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps will be held accountable.”
‘Web of Front Companies’
Mr. Ardakani and his co-conspirators had allegedly “crafted a sophisticated web of front companies” to obscure their illicit activities, according to Michael Krol, special agent in charge at Homeland Security Investigations New England.On four separate occasions, Mr. Ardakani and his co-conspirators allegedly used “a web of foreign companies” to conceal their activities, according to the DOJ. In one instance, Mr. Ardakani and Mr. Lam “caused an unwitting French company to purchase from a U.S. company several pieces of analog-to-digital converters.” The converters had many applications, including broadband communications and radar and satellite subsystems, according to the DOJ.
Mr. Lam then had converters shipped to Hong Kong, and the items were reshipped to Iran.
“A variation of this tactic—involving witting and unwitting companies in Canada, Hong Kong, and China—was used on the other three occasions,” the DOJ stated.
Mr. Ardakani and Mr. Lam are charged with unlawfully exporting and attempting to export goods to Iran and conspiracy to engage in international money laundering, each carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, according to the DOJ. They face a third charge of conspiracy to export U.S. goods to Iran and to defraud the United States, and if convicted, they could face up to five years in prison.
Mr. Ardakani and Mr. Lam remain at large and are suspected to be living abroad, according to the DOJ.
Separately, the Treasury Department announced on Dec. 19 that it was imposing sanctions on an international procurement network of 10 entities led by Mr. Ardakani, as well as four individuals based in Iran, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. The network has allegedly “facilitated the procurement of U.S.- and foreign-origin components worth hundreds of thousands of dollars” for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s drone program,” according to the Treasury Department.
Mr. Lam was among a group of 11 individuals, eight entities, and one cargo vessel sanctioned by the Treasury Department in October for enabling Iran's ballistic missile and drone programs.
Mr. Lam used his Hong Kong-based company Nanxigu Technology to procure “U.S.-, Japanese-, Swiss-, Taiwanese-, and UK-origin, dual-use circulators, amplifiers, inductors, and other electronic components” for Iran-based procurement agent Alireza Matinkia, according to the Treasury Department.
Mr. Ardakani and Mr. Lam couldn't be reached for comment.
