The Biden administration continues its circus act as the clock runs out on his presidency, showcasing a level of recklessness and disregard for American safety that is downright astounding. In yet another move that raises eyebrows, the president recently bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on George Soros and Hillary Clinton, a duo that could easily be crowned “Most Deserving of a Time-Out.” This honors them as if they were the pinnacle of virtue in American history rather than the divisive figures many believe them to be. It appears the only legacy Biden is leaving behind is one of questionable judgment and comedic irony.
The antics didn’t stop there. Over the weekend, Biden decided to play Santa Claus for terrorists, transferring 11 Yemeni detainees from Guantánamo Bay to Oman. This group includes individuals with ties to Osama bin Laden himself. Yes, you read that right. The administration proudly claims to be working on responsibly reducing the detainee population, but one can only wonder whether releasing former bodyguards of a notorious terrorist like bin Laden is really part of a responsible plan. Perhaps someone should remind the president that some individuals should not be “re-settled,” especially when they have a history of supporting terrorism.

One of the most glaring questions in this debacle is why these transfers weren’t completed earlier in his presidency instead of as a parting shot, possibly as an act of defiance against the incoming Trump administration. The idea of releasing alleged terrorists into the world while touting a legacy of freedom showcases a fundamental disconnect. It’s as if Biden is trying to win a game of “who can do the most damage” with the least time left on the clock.
Among those being released is Ahmed al-Alwi, who has been labeled an al-Qaeda fighter and has been associated with advanced security for bin Laden. The notion that Biden is handing back individuals of such notoriety while pretending to care about national security is nothing short of a slap in the face for American citizens. Another detainee, Anam al Sharabi, was not just a bodyguard but also linked to plans for terrorism that could have resulted in catastrophic outcomes. How exactly is the outgoing president supposed to spin this as a move towards a safer world?
The conclusion drawn from these last-minute efforts is alarming. There seems to be an explicit lack of concern for the safety of the American people. In the waning days of his presidency, Biden clearly appears to be throwing caution to the wind, perhaps out of desperation or a misguided sense of fairness. The deliberate choice to release individuals with ties to terrorism only serves to illustrate a reckless abandon that has come to define his presidency. If this is what he’s doing on his way out, one can only speculate what further chaos could ensue.
