Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, dies at age 100. • Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, has died at age 100. Carter was “surrounded by his family” at his home in Plains, Georgia, in his final moments, the Carter Center said in a statement Sunday. • President Joe Biden said Carter “stands as a model of what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose,” and remembered Carter as a “dear friend.” President-elect Donald Trump said Americans owe the former president “a debt of gratitude.” Preparations are underway for a state funeral. • Carter was a peanut farmer and US Navy lieutenant before going into politics, eventually serving one term as governor of Georgia and as president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He was the only former US president to reach 100 years old. • Rosalynn Carter, the former president’s wife of more than 75 years, who was known for her mental health advocacy and humanitarian work, died in November 2023 at 96. The Carters were the longest-married presidential couple in US history. |

Alas, Bobi, and with Jimmy Carter, there goes an entire era of US politics.
Carter, Ford, dare one even say Tricky Dick Nixon - gone. We now enter an era where presidents must issue blanket pardons to prevent political VENGEANCE. An era where presidents outsource entire government departments to their billionaire donor "friends", then watch as their political proxies wage political wars on their political donors' social media platforms. Drain the swamp? We now enter an epoch of the slimiest swamp in history. Rome under Caligula could not compete. The most syphilitic monarchs of Europe look sane by comparison. Who on earth would support such a move? Who? Who indeed, Sir Bobi. Arise, deranged knight. You. |

Title: Re: Jimmy Carter dead aged 100 Post by greggerypeccary on Dec 30th, 2024 at 5:40pm Mr. Carter’s early career as a submariner began after he graduated from the Naval Academy as a member of the class of 1947, which finished its studies a year early because of the pressures of World War II. He served for six years before returning to Georgia. Mr. Carter is the only Naval Academy graduate to win the presidency, though many have tried in the years since he occupied the Oval Office. |

Jimmy Carter wanted to be a good man but his liberalism got in the way. He was a weak President that cause a lot of death and danger all over the World. He should have supported the Shah of Iran, he didn't and we had our Embassy seized and Americans held hostage for 444 days. He offered to surrender to the Soviet Union to prevent an all out nuclear war but Congress wouldn't approve. The Media called it unilateral disarmament. During his term the dollar lost half of its value so everything including houses and motor vehicles doubled in price.

Biden Finally Claims Title Of Worst Living President
"It's a great… a great… I'm honored to… it's official," Biden said. "Jimmy Carter proudly held the title of Worst Living President for so many years. He was a man of great… of so much… a lot of… things. And he will always be fondly remembered for… all of it. But now that he has passed, I am proud to claim the title and carry it on until… whenever. Hopefully forever. We finally beat Medicare, folks." Biden was then whisked away by Secret Service agents to spend the day at the beach. A White House statement clarified Biden's remarks. "President Biden is proud to add another historic accomplishment to his resume," the statement read. "Though it was thought for many years to be impossible, Joe Biden has taken the title of Worst Living President from Jimmy Carter. The Biden administration has been all about making history, and this is further proof." At publishing time, Bill Clinton had lodged a formal protest by claiming Biden had been dead for several years. |

White House Insists Jimmy Carter Is Still Sharp And Focused Behind Closed Doors
"He's as sharp and decisive as he's ever been. I can barely keep up with Jimmy," said black and gay White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is gay and black. "I know there have been a lot of people spreading misinformation and wild conspiracy theories on social media that Jimmy Carter's death has impacted his mental faculties, but that simply isn't the case. Contrary to what you see online, President Carter is perfectly coherent and alert behind closed doors." With news breaking last week that Carter had passed away at the age of 100, speculation quickly spread on social media that the former president no longer had the cognitive clarity to make important decisions, allegations Jean-Pierre dismissed as baseless. "Preposterous," she continued. "Carter is as sharp as a tack. Any video clips you see circulating on social media showing otherwise are clearly doctored, heavily edited, or entirely fabricated. When you speak with him privately, he's just as ‘with it' as he was when he was alive." |

Reflections on Jimmy Carter as President
Carter's naivety and inexperience in foreign policy caused him to muddle up America's foreign policy for years When reviewing the record of a deceased past president, one must be careful to understand the sources from which either praise or condemnation originates. Of course, the legacy media, now in its death throes, is not to be believed or trusted. Businesses that claim the role of "fact finders" have turned out to be nothing more than radical left-wing shills, giving the media plausible excuses to censor opposing views. Then we have the people closest to the subject, his administration staff, the household staff, the protective staff, and the Secret Service. Of course, open sources, now available if one searches, reveal much about Joe the Legacy media struggles to hide. Jimmy's administration was an open book. There is transparency after death. We will be aghast of what was kept from us about Joe Biden. President Carter was an authentic Christian in the true Biblical sense. His strict Southern Baptist beliefs rendered him naïve about the world's ways. He presided during the Cold War. He was a US Navy nuclear submarine officer with an engineer's brain who didn't get to see much of the world. His naivety and inexperience in foreign policy caused him to muddle up America's foreign policy for every president who followed. However, unlike Joe Biden, Jimmy didn't use his office to enrich his family or to pursue his political enemies. In short, Jimmy Carter had principles and followed 'em, but even after his single term, he considered himself a diplomate with unique qualities capable of bringing peace to the world. His meddling as a post-president/ US citizen even caused him to engage with North Korea's Kim Jong Il in a political repartee that accomplished nothing but give him a measure of notoriety. He left a loaded hand grenade for later Presidents concerning relations with North Korea. But, Jimmy hated Israel, and one suspects Jews in particular, as he demonstrated time and again in his foreign policy aims that did not favor the continuance of the Israeli state. Jimmy is given some credit for appearing to be a foreign policy statesman but, it was all show. Do you remember seeing him on TV at his 1978 Camp David Summit standing between PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin with his big grin while the two bitter enemies shook hands over an accord intended to end the conflict and then tearing the Middle-east apart? I don't doubt that he meant well, but he still had this deep-seated distrust for Israel that he thought didn't belong in Arab Palestine. What President Carter didn't understand, thinking like the Christian he was, was that he was confirming to our Islamic foes the weakness they suspected Western Nations possessed: a lack of strength and resolve. To conduct negotiations with Islam, an understanding of Islam is essential because those people, the Mohammedans, only accept what is revealed to them on the pages of the Quran. American Embassy hostages and failed rescue Islamics do not believe that all people are equal in the eyes of God, or sought the same goals, peace and goodwill and living together as human beings. Those notions do not apply to Islam and clearly, Jimmy didn't understand what the Quran requires of its followers. It isn't getting along with Infidels, i.e., Christians and Jews, but converting, enslaving, or killing them. That's it! Unlike Joe Biden, Jimmy Carter could never be accused of wanton criminal negligence or reckless immigration policies that brought death and mayhem to the streets of America at the hands of illegal criminal invaders. Biden, like Jimmy as we know, also didn't like Israel and did everything in his feeble power to stop Israel from defending itself while still looking like he cared. Neither do we see photographs of Jimmy shaking hands with China's Communist businessmen as it was recently revealed Joe Biden did. That's evidence enough to support charges of treason. Jimmy would never have done it. But ya’ can't deny Jimmy did betray the Shah of Iran, and look where that's got us. Jimmy got caught between a rock and a hard spot when the Islamic Republic of Iran staged a coup against the Shah of Iran, then seized the American Embassy and took fifty-five US hostages they held for 444 days. In a desperate attempt to rescue them and save face, Jimmy approved a military expedition to fly into Iran and recover the hostages. It was an unorganized attempt that ended in a fireball of smashed airplanes in an Arabian desert. Jimmy was revealed as an incompetent fool. |

Jimmy Carter's domestic energy policy
It took the strength of Ronald Reagan, with order and method, to correct that mistake. I haven't even mentioned Jimmy Carter's domestic energy policy, mandating a 55 mph maximum speed limit even on Interstates, or his domestic monetary policies that drove the cost of fuel and interest rates skyrocketing. How did Jimmy phrase it, an era of malaise? When he first entered the presidency, with only the experience of Georgia governorship under his belt, this country boy from Plaines, Ga, became enamored with the presidency's powers and what he could do. First, he grew government by creating the Departments of Education and Energy, which have become costly, if not useless, bureaucracies that still exist today doing more damage than good. Like all Cold War presidents, Carter's handling of the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan, coupled with his rising federal spending, were decisions that alienated American voters. Abandoning Afghanistan, in the manner Biden did, was his first disastrous foreign policy step that rendered America weak in the eyes of its enemies. As a parallel to today's politics, Carter's comparison to Biden's is to argue that Biden's policies have led to similar voter disgust. Both Carter and Biden inadvertently laid the groundwork for the significant political shifts toward conservatism in their respective eras. Jimmie's policies ushered in the great conservative Ronald Reagan. By contrast, Biden's policies ushered in a return of the greatest fighter for a great America, Donald Trump! Remember, freedom is the goal; the Constitution is the only way. Now, let's help Make America Great Again! Happy New Year, y'all! https://canadafreepress.com/article/reflections-on-jimmy-carter-as-president |

They said, he said. But he didn't. You do know the two biggest reasons Trump won in 2024, right. The American people wanted him back and dedicated poll watchers. Hundreds and hundreds were present to keep the vote as honest as possible. Did you know that the longer it took to count votes for other Republicans the less likely they were to win. Many times the total votes for House and Senate races were larger than the total votes for President in 2024. We know how those races turned out. Suspend the Constitution, you mean like the first and second amendments? Actually I don't think the Democrats missed any of the Bill of Rights during the last four years. Of course he didn't rape that crone, she had already written a fantasy years before about being the victim of just such a crime. New York Courts are really short on justice. Sometime in the 1990's Donald Trump turned his back on the army of hotties wanting a turn to rape a woman uglier than a mud fence. And the penalty for denying it is greater than the penalty for the alleged crime. TDS greggy |

Of the ocean kind, if I ever find one in an oyster... pearl clutchers... not so much. In the late 18th century, Yanks' comprehension of British royal power was that of a regal autocracy, hence their bestowing the royal prerogative of mercy - a pardon for any crime - unilaterally on the person of the president. It was a ridiculous misunderstanding of modern constitutional monarchy that has ultimately bestowed on the president the power not only to pardon, but to pre-emptively pardon. Again, Trump, in his usual blustering, but politically savvy way, has knocked the false halo of divine ordination off the American presidency, by proposing pardoning himself - something that is unlikely to be contested as unconstitutional. |

Song At Funeral Comforts Everyone By Telling Them There's No Heaven, Religion Is A Lie, And Everything Is Ultimately Meaningless
The song, "Imagine" by John Lennon, known for its pleasant melody and nihilistic lyrics, is routinely played in Times Square on New Year's Eve as an appeal to world peace in a time of crisis, or to celebrate another year of debauchery, one of the two. Experts described the song as most suitable for use at a funeral, however, because the comforting lyrics remind people what really matters: absolutely nothing. "I guess nothing matters and Jimmy Carter is gone forever," said one attendee. "Such a comforting thought." Among the attendees were all five living presidents, with several of them hit hard by the loss of Carter because it forced them to confront their own mortality. But the uplifting song reminded them there was "nothing to live or die for" in the world so nobody cares. "I cannot think of a more appropriate song for a state funeral," said former President Bill Clinton. "It washed my tears right away. Not that I had any. I barely knew John. I mean Jimmy." "We're all worm food in the end," said George W. Bush. "Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. I read that somewhere. MAD Magazine, I think." At publishing time, Garth Brooks denied ever playing "Imagine" at the funeral, stating it was actually Chris Gaines. |

Obama And Trump Separated At Carter Funeral For Disruptive Behavior
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were just separated from their seats together at the Carter funeral for goofing off, snickering, and generally disruptive behavior. According to Jill Biden, the pair had been asked to stop talking together, as it was disturbing the somber atmosphere of the funeral. When the two presidents ignored her, she was forced to take matters into her own hands and sit the pair at opposite ends of a pew. "Believe me, we weren't disrupting anything at all," Trump reportedly complained, as Obama obediently went to take his seat at the other end of the pew. "I'm the quietest person at this funeral. So quiet — you'd never even know I'm here, because I'm grieving so much. Mucho quiet. Now, if you want to talk about disruption, Jill, how about the smells that have been drifting up from your husband's seat? Why don't you make him go sit somewhere else? Sad! Unfair!" The separation seems to have worked, as Jill Biden only had to turn around once or twice to give Trump a firm, hard stare as he whispered a conversation with Melania. At publishing time, Obama and Trump had been reprimanded again after Jill caught Obama flinging a spitball at Hillary and Trump flicking Kamala's ear. https://youtube.com/shorts/Lp1o_IDZ7vk?si=8KsJwQz0VLTEbGmh |

At the time of Mossadegh's overthrow, the CIA was barely 6 years old and had not descended into the nation-meddling organisation it became by Nixon's Administration.
Mossadegh's overthrow was effectively the first overthrow operation the CIA could claim 'credit' for... and it ran with it. By the start of Carter's administration in 1977, the CIA had meddled in the affairs of nation-states throughout South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East at its pleasure. Like JFK before him, Carter was disgusted by CIA overreach - which extended beyond presidential authority - and attempted to crush its arrogated sense of seniority over the president, Congress, and the judiciary. This prompted his pledge to US allies to end CIA interference in their internal affairs. |

Big Mike to skip Trump inauguration -
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/14/politics/michelle-obama-trump-inauguration/index.html Washington CNN — Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend Donald Trump’s inauguration next week, her office said Tuesday, without providing an explanation for her decision. “Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration,” a statement from the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama said. The decision to forgo attendance at Trump’s formal swearing-in is a break with tradition for the ceremony, in which former presidents and their wives typically participate. Former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush will attend the inauguration, his office said, and sources familiar told CNN that former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton also will be there. Michelle Obama also was not in attendance at a memorial service last week for former President Jimmy Carter, remaining instead in Hawaii. Former President Barack Obama attended the service at the National Cathedral in Washington, sitting next to Trump and engaging in animated conversation with him as the program was getting underway. Other former first ladies, including Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush, both attended the Carter event. Michelle Obama has spoken openly about her animosity toward Trump, whom she has accused of putting her family’s safety in danger through his rhetoric. In 2017, she put those personal feelings aside after Trump won his first presidential election, welcoming the incoming president and Melania Trump to the White House for tea ahead of that year’s swearing-in. In the years afterward, she spoke about the experience of sitting onstage as Trump was inaugurated. “There were tears, there was that emotion. But then to sit on that stage and watch the opposite of what we represented on display – there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage, there was no reflection of the broader sense of America,” she said in a podcast in 2023. The Trumps did not attend President Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021 amid the president-elect’s false claims that he won the 2020 election. |

I am merely a humble messenger: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/08/13/is-michelle-obama-a-man-lets-survey-the-evidence-with-an-open-heart-and-mind/ Is Michelle Obama a Man? Let’s Survey the Evidence With an Open Heart and Mind Back in 2014, beloved icon Joan Rivers – jokingly or not – once flippantly told reporters that Michelle Obama is a “t****y,” a two-syllable word for transgenders that rhymes with “uncanny.” I hesitate to reprint here because I was suspended multiple times on Facebook for using it to describe individuals with purple hair who are confused about their biological sex. Via CNN: “Who needs Fourth of July fireworks when you have Joan Rivers around? The comedian known for her lack of self-censoring recently officiated a same-sex wedding and was asked by a photographer if she believed the United States would ever see the first gay or female president. Her response was typical Rivers. ‘We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down,’ she said. ‘You know Michelle (Obama) is a trans.’ When asked to further explain Rivers said, ‘A transgender. We all know it.'” Curiously, CNN claimed that Rivers said “Michelle is a trans” instead of what she actually said, “Michelle is a t****y.” “Jones released a 12-minute clip which analyses photos and videos of the Obamas. He points to her “very wide shoulders” and her “very masculine” face as significant proof of his theory. He also explains that former president Obama would often refer to his wife as “Michael” on-camera, a slip-up that apparently shows that she was previously a man who’d since changed her name and “dressed up” as a woman. |
