Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.’s stint in the Oval Office has been an unrelenting spectacle of incompetence, showcasing an economy gasping for breath, a world spinning into chaos, and a family drama that would put any soap opera to shame. For anyone keeping score, Biden’s presidency has been a master class in how to run a country into the ground, leaving even the most hardened critics wondering how he manages to keep the job.
With just a few weeks left in this one-term wonder, one might expect a graceful exit. Instead, Biden doubled down on his presidential legacy with a cringe-inducing op-ed piece in The Washington Post. In this final chapter, he chose to lament the events of January 6, 2021, which, according to Democrats, is a date that will live in infamy—at least until they can find something else to be outraged about.
To kick things off, Biden declared his presidency as if declaring a new national holiday. The irony is palpable. It’s as if he’s trying to convince everyone that he’s still relevant, all while his administration drifts aimlessly towards the end zone—without any chance of a touchdown. The op-ed included obligatory shots fired at Donald Trump, juxtaposing the “peaceful transfer of power” with a performance from the Capitol that Biden insists was akin to an insurrection. This sentiment, of course, fits neatly into the Democrats’ narrative of victimhood and righteousness.
Biden waxed poetic about how the Capitol Police valiantly defended democracy, a storyline that feels more like a dramatic retelling than a factual recounting. While a handful of individuals certainly engaged in illegal activity, one can’t help but chuckle at the portrayal of these so-called “violent insurrectionists” who, according to some reports, honored the velvet ropes as they strolled through the capitol. This selective memory doesn’t seem to apply to the countless riots and protests that went unchecked across America in the name of social justice.
Despite the deep-seated nostalgia for January 6 Biden showcased, he seemed utterly oblivious to the fact that most of the country is weary of revisiting this saga. The president called for an eternal remembrance of that day, akin to asking Americans to relive their worst family reunion memories. It’s no secret that with this administration’s dwindling influence in both the House and Senate, the left is grasping for anything that could reignite their stagnant narrative—and nothing says “desperate” quite like rehashing four-year-old grievances.

In a stunning display of gaslighting, Biden lamented the fate of law enforcement officers without acknowledging the context. Despite his dramatic writings, fact-checkers have pointed out that no officers were definitively killed due to the events of January 6 in direct altercations. Instead of pausing to reflect on this, Biden leaned into the dramatic, revealing a lack of concern for reality in favor of theatricality. In a time when American families are struggling with economic challenges, the president focused on dredging up division instead of unity.
Overall, the op-ed offered little more than a bloated reflection of an administration that has failed to deliver on its promises. With just a couple of weeks left, many Americans are ready for Biden to exit stage left, ideally without another lecture on the ghosts of January 6 haunting the nation. If there’s one lesson to be learned, it’s that some events deserve to fade into the past rather than be used as a political crutch in a desperate attempt to remain relevant.
