With each passing day, lame-duck President Joe Biden seems to debase himself and his “legacy” even further as he takes juvenile measures to kneecap the incoming Trump administration and flip off the American public. On Saturday, for instance, he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to two of the most undeserving figures of all time, George Soros and Hillary Clinton.
That’s just one example of Doddering Joe burning down the house as he heads for the exit.
True to form, he pulled another fast one on Monday and engineered the transfer of 11 Yemeni detainees—some of them former Bin Laden bodyguards and committed terrorists—to Oman to “re-settle” them.
Are you kidding? There are some people who simply cannot be “re-settled.” If you worked for Osama bin Laden, you are one of them.
If this move was so important, why wasn’t it done earlier in his administration instead of at the last minute as his disastrous reign comes to an end?
“The Biden administration on Monday announced the transfer of 11 Yemeni detainees, including two former bodyguards for Osama bin Laden, being held at a U.S. naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba to Oman, which has agreed to help re-settle them, amid steps to reduce the population at the controversial military facility.
All of the men were captured in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and were held for more than two decades without being charged or put on trial, the New York Times reported.
“The United States appreciates the willingness of the government of Oman and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing the Guantanamo Bay facility,” the Defense Department said in a statement.”
Here are some of the lovelies we’re releasing to be “re-settled”:
“The 11 detainees were identified as: Uthman Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Uthman, Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi, Khalid Ahmed Qassim, Suhayl Abdul Anam al Sharabi, Hani Saleh Rashid Abdullah, Tawfiq Nasir Awad Al-Bihani, Omar Mohammed Ali al-Rammah, Sanad Ali Yislam Al Kazimi, Hassan Muhammad Ali Bib Attash, Sharqawi Abdu Ali Al Hajj, and Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah.
Ahmed al-Alwi, an alleged al Qaeda fighter and part of the security detail for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, was one of the 11 men released, the New York Post reported.
In 2016, a declassified document said al-Alwi made several statements that suggested that he “maintains an extremist mindset.”
Anam al Sharabi, another alleged bin Laden bodyguard, was also released. A 2020 declassified file said he was bin Laden’s bodyguard and trained in Afghanistan before the Sept. 11 attacks.
He also “may have been associated with an aborted 9/11-style hijacking in Southwest Asia led by al-Qa’ida external operations chief Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.”
What could go wrong?
It’s clear that Biden no longer gives a damn and is willing to harm America due to his (and Jill’s) endless bitterness because he was denied a second term.
At this point, it’s getting very, very dangerous.
On a lighter note—because frankly, I want to scream—this seems fitting:

The Joe Biden administration has released 11 prisoners with links to al Qaeda from the notorious Guantanamo Bay, shipping them to Oman.
The Yemeni men were detained at the Cuba prison for more than 20 years without any charges.
They were nabbed following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Two of these men, Sahayl Abdul Anam al Sharabi and Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi, were bodyguards of Osama bin Laden.
Other detainees were identified as Uthman Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Uthman, Khalid Ahmed Qassim, Hani Saleh Rashid Abdullah, Tawfiq Nasir Awad Al-Bihani, Omar Mohammed Ali al-Rammah, Sanad Ali Yislam Al Kazimi, Hassan Muhammad Ali Bib Attash, Sharqawi Abdu Ali Al Hajj and Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah.
The US Defense Department stated that it appreciated the willingness of the Oman government to back US efforts to bring down the number of prisoners detained in Guantanamo Bay.
The department said the Yemeni prisoners were subjected to thorough interagency reviews carried out by career professionals, following which these men were unanimously found to be eligible for release.
It has been reported that these detainees from Yemen could not be returned to their home country for their own safety, especially due to the ongoing civil war involving Iran-backed Houthis.
