Nancy Pelosi joked before the November election that President Joe Biden will one day be on Mount Rushmore in the company of presidents Roosevelt, Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington.

That’s over the top.

But there is a lot of truth in Pelosi’s tribute.

Here is a straightforward, honest scorecard on Biden’s time in the Oval Office.

As you will see he deserves to be celebrated as an effective president. One of the best of our time.

First, let’s start with the economy...

I can hear the naysayers raising a ruckus. What about inflation?

Good point. Biden did spur inflation by pumping money into the economy. But what was the alternative? The rescue measures kept the economy afloat and millions of people out of bankruptcy...

No. 2 on the scorecard is his winning record as commander-in-chief.

Biden ended America’s longest war, the war in Afghanistan.

Three previous presidents agreed it was an endless, mostly pointless use of the military.

Biden stood tall and withdrew U.S. troops from Afghanistan. As Biden said in his 2021 speech announcing the withdrawal, “No amount of military force would ever deliver a stable, united, and secure Afghanistan … known in history as the ‘graveyard of empires.’”...

The scrappy kid from Scranton made America a better place.

Americans may find themselves longing for the Biden years. They may even ask him — or his capable vice president — to step back into the fray and save the nation once more.

For now, we owe Joe Biden our gratitude. Thank you, Mr. President, for a job well done.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

"Americans may find themselves longing for the Biden years."

I think we made a mistake in supporting Trump.

We will be pining away for baby food shortages, stalled supply lines, Afghans falling from airplanes, humiliating military defeat, nuking small towns in Ohio, burning Hawaiians, leaving North Carolinians to die in the hills, letting criminals into our country to rape and kill, trannies showing their naughty parts on the White House lawn, allowing cartels to traffic children throughout the country, using the DOJ as a political weapon, etc., etc., etc.

Can you think of anything else we ungrateful rubes have forgotten?

Only if you count “our time” as beginning Jan. 21, 2021.

If we are going to give Biden his due, he will be in prison for the remainder of his sorry life.

I honestly thought this was the Babylon Bee mocking Juan.
