    Joe Biden’s terrible legacy

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on January 15, 2025 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The moniker “Genocide Joe” is well deserved and one that Joe Biden can never live down, along with any other names that describe the damage he brought to the country and to the world. His legacy is that in every position he held, he was a happy servant for imperialist and neo-liberal interests, like all of his white house predecessors.

    The problem with Joe and Hunter

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on December 4, 2024 (more by Black Agenda Report)  |

    The outrage surrounding President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden is not just about clemency for the relatively minor charges he was facing. The younger Biden has lived a life of great privileges, all granted to him by his father, who is equally undeserving of his own success. Fortunately, the two corrupt mediocrities will soon fade away and the public will be spared from watching them fail upward.
