To anyone who thought Biden might get credit for his middle east achievement

Sorry, it's not gonna happen. This is the headline on CNN webpage right now: How the Biden and Trump teams worded together to get the Gaza ceasefire and hostages deal done.

This is how it will start. The teams did it together. Very soon all the credit will be given to trump.

Oh, and Wolf Blitzer just read a new poll result. Apparently, only 36% of voters approve of Biden as he leaves office. Wolf was very confused about why voters are so negative about Biden.

Forgive me, but I think there is a connection between how the press treats Biden's foreign and domestic achievements and poll numbers like this. But I don't make the big bucks like Wolf, so I guess I'm missing something.

Six months into his term and never looked back. They were joined by Green MAGAts who never forgave Biden for the sin of not being Bernie Sanders.

I no longer consume legacy media.

If I matter at all, I can tell you that I give President Biden all the credit for being a great statesman. That they pretend that TCFSF is fit to shine his shoes is an insult.

And his cabinet choices alone should be sending up red flags.

Is ending as the worst rated President since Nixon. I asked him to turn it off.
