The New York Post admits the Biden Administration has made significant accomplishments.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-new-york-post-admits-biden.html

Not that anything the New York Post would write could be considered factual or credible, when it comes to its "reporting," if it can be called that, about the Biden administration. But in its own way, this tabloid is venting its frustration over the fact that it cannot change the record on one of the best and most accomplished Presidential administrations since Lyndon Johnson, and the frustration and consternation that is working its way into the coverage of its final weeks is not only hilarious, but quite telling when it comes to what they know as opposed to what they write.

With this piddling list of complaints, apparently all they can come up with, the Post is acknowledging the significant achievements of the Biden Administration. They can't complain about the long list of achievements and legislation that has worked so well, so they complain about what hasn't, in this tiny little list of virtually insignificant stuff.


The bottom line here is that they were caught off guard, stunned, and burned to a crisp over the pardon given by the President to his son, Hunter Biden. That has eliminated any and all possibility of the Post's editorial staff's ability to think straight, if they ever had that ability in the first place. Privileged use of the government's power for personal and family benefit is supposed to be the exclusive domain of the Republican party, for goodness sake! The world has been turned upside down by an honest Democrat in the White House doing something they think is in the exclusive domain of the corrupt Trump.


They're really in between a rock and a hard place on this one, because they weren't critical at all when Trump let his former advisors off the hook, anticipating what was coming regarding January 6th. So coming from the Post, this criticism is a huge compliment to Biden.

The criticisms of Biden's most recent round of commutations and pardons just adds to the praise of Biden's judgement. There isn't anything in that whole list of some 1,500 names that comes close to the heinous and traitorous acts of those Trump pardoned on his way out, and they know it. They just can't get over the fact that Biden became a realist and did something anyone else would do.

And that's all they've got.

And they had a negative front story that was negative about the orange menace. Was tempted to buy just to read the article. But I held back.
