Before an election, a candidate pretends to be something he or she is not. An incumbent administration usually tries to soften its note so as not to completely alienate the public. But the public has spoken and the Biden-Harris administration is now officially a lame duck operation with nothing left to lose.

And nothing to do except implement its leftist agenda.

Hours after President Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, the Biden administration moved Wednesday to limit oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

“Hours after.”

Before the election, there was at least some pretense, but now they’re going all in, poisoning the wells, salting the earth, and protecting their agenda at all costs. And their agenda is a rather ugly one.

In the election runup, the Biden-Harris administration supposedly suspended a sweetheart ‘plea deal’ for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. It’s back on now. One thing you can pretty much count on is that by the time Trump enters the office, Gitmo will be closed down no matter what it takes.

That was always Obama’s priority and that part of his legacy will be secured.

The Biden-Harris admin is also moving forward with its planned arms embargo of Israel with the State Department claiming that Israel had failed to meet its conditions. With a potential embargo kicking in next week, assume that’s the first of a number of anti-Israel measures that the outgoing admin will take.

The ideal goal there is to topple the Netanyahu government and bring in a leftist one before Trump comes into office.

What else? We’ll be finding out soon enough, but it’s a safe bet that there will be a lot of ‘rules’ and ‘dear colleague’ letters crafted in such a way that throwing them out will lead to lawsuits from various lefty parties. There will be new ‘national monuments’ on potential mining and drilling sites the size of small states. And if a lot of the keyboards are missing a ‘T’, then it wouldn’t be the first time.

(Before Bush entered office, Clinton staffers removed the ‘W’s’ from keyboards.)

This is as much about winning policy victories as getting revenge. As Obama said, “punish your enemies.” And after Trump’s landslide win, the leftists have a whole lot of enemies.
