How much more damage can they do before inauguration day?

In 1227 AD, Genghis Khan stood at the apex of his power, commanding the largest contiguous empire that the world— even to this day— has ever seen.

His campaigns had subjugated vast swathes of Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, and his name alone struck fear into the hearts of kings.

Then he fell off his horse and died.

History is sometimes fuzzy, especially with the Mongols. They were highly secretive about Genghis in particular… so the story seems a bit off.

I mean, I fell off my horse once too. OK maybe more than once. It hurts. But I didn’t die.

There were some other legends about Genghis’s death too— like the one about how his genitals were slashed by a concubine… And, with his little khan bleeding out, the Great Khan passed away.

Whichever story may be true, we do know with some degree of certainty that as he withered on his deathbed, Genghis Khan directed a campaign of merciless destruction against the Western Xia—a Chinese kingdom that had resisted Mongol control for quite some time.

Crazy, right? He was definitely going to die and probably knew it. Yet rather than focus on an efficient transition of power, or on maintaining stability, or even worrying about his legacy, Genghis ordered the wanton slaughter of civilians. He told his generals to raze cities, eradicate cultures, and burn historical records.

In short, it was one final hurrah of moral depravity by a guy who was being forced out of power by mother nature… and just wanted to set the world on fire.

A lot of people are rightfully thinking the same thing about Joe Biden— that he’s petty and vindictive and is now trying to set the world on fire just out of spite.

But I don’t buy it.

I mean, I don’t buy that Biden is making any of these decisions to blow up the world. Seriously, did you see the footage of this guy at the G20 summit in Brazil? The guy had no idea where he was.

He even missed the group photo because he was behind a palm tree with absolutely no clue where he was standing. A spokesman blamed “logistical issues”.

Does anyone honestly believe the guy who shakes hands with thin air is masterminding the end of the world? No chance.

I don’t know who is really in charge— Jill, Kamala, Hunter, Barack— who knows. But it’s not this senile old man.

And that is terrifying, because it means the power is likely being wielded mostly by his fanatical legion of angry diversity hires.

America’s own Genghis (Lina) Khan, the head of the FTC, has rampaged across the US economy, suing grocery stores to stop mergers, banning non-compete clauses, and laying waste to distributors who offer wholesale pricing.

Where does she get this authority? She makes it up, often based on decades old legislation.

For example, just recently she issued a whopping 460 pages of regulations for companies that want to merge, based on a 1976 law that was six pages long.

That’s what she is doing in her final days in office— pushing ahead to tie up American businesses in bureaucratic red tape, instead of just letting them produce.

Then there is Martin Gruenberg, who, despite promising to resign in May over his horrible leadership of the FDIC, is still in charge.

His FDIC fostered a culture employees described as hostile, abusive, and unprofessional, marked by rampant sexual harassment, racism, and homophobia, where senior employees were promoted rather than disciplined for misconduct.

Gruenberg’s explosive temper discouraged staff from reporting critical banking issues, contributing to regulatory failures, including missed warning signs leading to bank collapses, including Silicon Valley Bank.

Now, Gruenberg will be allowed to retire with honors in January— as opposed to resigning in disgrace (or being fired as he deserves). But I bet he’ll be super-duper focused on making sure the half a trillion dollars in unrealized bond losses in the US banking sector will be juuust fine for the next two months.

What is Merrick Garland going to do with his waning power over the Justice Department as Attorney General?

He still has a bone to pick over being denied a Supreme Court appointment in 2016. So his last act so far seems to be trying to break up Google. And he looks poised for a biblical level of vengeance, ready to use the full force of the justice system to smite his enemies and turn them into pillars of salt.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg still has tens of billions he was given to spend on infrastructure, despite wasting $7.5 billion of it building a grand total of seven electric vehicle chargers.

He’ll probably spend the rest of his time in office hammering the airline industry with demands for information and reports as he investigates their policies regarding airline points in an attempt to drive up the price of your holiday flights.

Will the US Committee on Foreign Investment have time to successfully kill a deal for US Steel to be acquired by a Japanese company (i.e. one of America’s biggest allies), robbing American factories of billions in investments?

That would be a great way to punish some of those swing states with big steel industries.

And how many more immigrants can be ushered across the southern border and have tax dollars lavished on them before the next administration takes office?

Already they are rushing to roll out an app that would allow illegal immigrants to check in with ICE online, instead of in-person… which seems like a clear attempt to keep them out of the authorities’ clutches and prevent them from being deported.

The level of incompetence in this administration has been so extreme over the past few years that it almost seemed deliberate, i.e. they were trying to destroy America.

Of course, if you said that out loud, you were called a conspiracy theorist.

But now it’s just obvious. There’s no denying it. This is deliberate. They’re angry. They’re petty. And they’re throwing a temper tantrum.

Stoke World War III. Encourage an invasion. Indebt the nation. Dismantle US military readiness in favor of DEI. Declare war on capitalism…

“Lame duck” sessions are supposed to be pointless, boring transition periods. Yet this brain-dead President is being ran-around by vindictive, power-hungry activist diversity hires.

January can’t come soon enough, since it seems clear the next administration will do everything it can to clean house.

But this is an obvious sign of just how deep the rot runs, how many of these swamp creatures there are— hundreds of obscure agencies staffed by angry, powerful bureaucrats— and just how destructive they can be.

And that’s why, no matter what, it always makes so much sense to have a Plan B.
