2024 in Review; an Abecedarian Look Back
As an annual reader bonus, IdleGuy.com presents its review of 2024. We tried to keep a straight face when compiling our ABCs, but it was difficult.
So far, so good.
B is for BIDEN, Joseph, 46th president of the United States, who won the office in 2020 in what is largely considered a stolen election over Donald J. Trump. Biden will likely go down in history as America's worst president, as he was embroiled in controversy concerning his involvement in various kickback and money-laundering schemes in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere, run by his son, Hunter, and his brother, James.
Biden is also famous for his stuttering meltdown in a June 27 CNN debate against presidential candidate Trump, which led to a "palace coup", forcing him to step down as a candidate for a second term. Biden suffered from dementia for most of his presidency, a fact concealed from the public by White House staff and mainstream news reporters.
Dishonorable Mention: BOEING, the failed American aircraft manufacturer that is noted for parts of its aircrafts falling off or mal-functioning in mid-flight.
Honorable Mention: BITCOIN, which broke through the $100,000 barrier for roughly two weeks, from December 5-19, but ended the year well off the mark, around $94,000.
The only thing Caitlin Clark didn't do was win a national championship, though she led the Hawkeyes to consecutive NCAA Women's Tournament Finals in 2023 and 2024, falling, 102-85, to LSU in 2023, and, 87-75, to #1 seed South Carolina in 2024.
Combs, scheduled for trial in May, 2025, is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
F is for FAUCI, Anthony, former head of NIAI and chief medical advisor to President Biden from 2021 to 2022. Fauci, largely credited with promoting the COVID-19 virus and various warnings, regulations and shutdowns via his influence at the CDC, continued to come under fire from various legislators, especially Senator Rand Paul, even though he resigned from his government position in December, 2022.
G is for GAZA, and the Gaza Strip, once the most densely-populated area in the world, reduced to mostly inhabitable rubble by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) since mid-October of 2023. Israel's claims that Hamas terrorists were holed up in hospitals, schools, and residential enclaves provided the sleazy, largely unsupported rationale to bomb and raze at random throughout the area, maiming and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the process.
I is for INFLATION and IMMIGRATION, the two main issues of the 2024 presidential campaign, both of which reached near-crisis levels during the Biden-Harris administration.
Donald Trump successfully campaigned on both illegal immigration, crime, and inflation, defeating Kamala Harris (joe Biden's replacement) at the polls in November. Trump plans to deport millions of illegals, close the borders and institute tariffs on foreign goods, which many economists claim will boost inflation rather than cool it, though economists are quite often found to have the dullest minds in the universe.
K is for KAMALA HARRIS, Joe Biden's VP, at least until noon on January 20, 2025, when the world will be done with both of them. K is also baseball shorthand for a strikeout, which is exactly what Kamala did in her hasty run for president against Donald J. Trump, blowing through $2 billion of campaign money in a little over three months.
Honestly, she never had a chance, a plan, or any charisma. Didn't even foul one off. It was just swing and miss, which is kind of amazing given her proven ability to latch on to things swung in front of her face.
Honorable Mention: Travis KELCE, KANSAS CITY Chiefs.
