Due to massive national whiplash and a long recovery after the Nixon/Ford administrations — with the whole Watergate incident being blown out of proportion and appearing now like a minor incident compared to the massive corruption and numerous incidents of treason that have occurred in subsequent White House administrations, the nation in the late 1970s elected a man who should have never desired or aspired to the presidency of America.

Mr. Carter should never have become a politician and remained a peanut farmer in Georgia, but that isn’t how things went.

Voters were once again, as they usually are, misinformed about what they were buying. And they bought into it hook, line, and sinker about Carter. He wasn’t what he appeared to be, what he was presented to be, and he was utterly ill-equipped to hold the most powerful position any human being can hold on earth.

He was surrounded by fools and idiots who failed to possess any understanding of the Middle East. Of Islam. And for a man professing to be a born again Bible beleiving, Sunday school teaching Christian, he appeared utterly mixed up with regard to Israel’s place and that of Islamic nations and their rulers.

This is why the ADVISORS around any and every president are so important. Advisors are either good or they are rubbish. Carter had rubbish advisors, and he was a weak man who made horrible decisions as a result of his personal weakness and being surrounded by horrible advisors.

Yet, we must acknowledge the fact that God raised him up because God raises up and sets down rulers, leaders, kings, and those in positions of earthly power and authority.

America got what it deserved.

Ignorance is not bliss. It usually only leads to one big mess on down the road a bit. Leaving the mess up to others to clean up. Eventually, if they decide to get around to cleaning up the mess.

Nor is voting for something opposite of what has taken place just to, well, vote opposite. Or the stupidity of, “My grandparents, my parents were ________, so I’m a ___________. ” What an independent thinker you are!

It has taken SEVEN subsequent American presidents since Carter to finally have the awareness, the resolve, the spine, the decision making ability to finally attempt to clean up Carter’s mess, which also turned into Reagan’s, Globalist Bush #1, Globalist Clinton, Globalist Boob, bozo, I mean Bush #2, then the America destroying Islamist apologist, I mean Barack Hussein Obama, excuse me, then of course the cardboard cutout of a president the lost and horrible Mr. Biden, who would hold the #1 worst president ever title were it not for Carter —  to finally get to President Trump. Who is attempting to clean up the mess made by Carter — and every president between Carter and Obama, refusing to do the right thing.

Well, President Trump is doing the right thing. Finally.

Evil cannot be permitted to grow and devour, to destroy and murder. To the point that they threaten the security of America, Israel, and the world. At some point, someone has to wake up and demonstrate they have a brain, a spine, and do something about it.

Know the voter who checked the ballot, clicked the lever in the voting booth for Carter back in the late 1970s?

My sister was the perfect example of a Carter voter.

I was very political at the time, and after Carter won, I asked my sister, “Why did you vote for Carter? What is it about him that made you vote for him?”

Thinking it might be a policy, a position he supported [although knowing my sister as I did, this was too much to expect].

“I like his teeth. He has nice teeth.”

Nothing like informed and responsible voters.

Yes, the most important consideration in selecting who will lead America, certainly! Do they have all their teeth, a nice smile, and good dental hygiene!?

Important when evil smacks you square in the face and knocks those pearly whites out!

This is why America not only needs the S.A.V.E. act legislation passed and signed into law, but America ought to also require TESTING of people registering to vote if they can truly make a qualified, intelligent decision based on facts rather than enamel placement in gums and if flossing is among their greatest traits.

Three reasons Jimmy Carter was the worst president ever

Thursday, March 12, 2026

By William Perry Pendley

Reprinted from the Washington Examiner

Unrelated events in recent days demonstrate conclusively that Jimmy Carter was the nation’s worst president, even worse than Joe Biden, who only pretended to be president. Carter was actually running the show in the late 1970s, and he made a mess of things.

First, although most commentators acknowledge that today’s events in Iran began in November 1979, they err by pointing to the day Islamic radicals seized 66 American hostages. In truth, they began when Carter, after rushing the shah of Iran out, welcomed back the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, whom his advisors called a “Gandhi-like figure,” “a saint,” and a man of “impeccable integrity and honesty.”

President Donald Trump and the brave men and women of our rededicated armed forces with Operation Epic Fury, which began Feb. 28, are making things right and ending the nearly 50-year-old threat to the United States, American troops, and our allies abroad.

Second, in January, Trump reversed another Carter catastrophe by putting finishing touches on a court-ordered restructuring of how federal agencies implement the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.

Often called a foundational environmental law that ushered in the so-called environmental decade, NEPA was enacted nearly unanimously and signed, without ceremony, by President Richard Nixon on New Year’s Day, 1970. But regrettably, soon after Carter took office, he launched what one legal scholar labeled “the most ambitious presidential foray into the nation’s environmental protection effort: the transformation of [an office in the White House] from an advisory entity into a regulatory agency.”

Over time, under White House control, NEPA became the largest roadblock to “major federal action[s]” and with them projects, jobs, and economic activity. Forum-shopping radical environmental groups sought out federal judges who, bound only by the requirement that NEPA documents be found to have taken a “hard look” at the proposed project, approved actions they favored and killed those they opposed. When the Biden administration arrived, it broadened White House oversight to include “environmental justice” and “climate change,” while expediting wind and solar projects.

After the 2024 election, however, the nation’s second-highest federal court ruled that what Carter did nearly fifty years earlier was illegal. Concluded the appeals court, “[White House] regulations, which purport to govern how all federal agencies must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act, are ultra vires.” Running roughshod over NEPA from the White House was doomed. The incoming Trump administration did not appeal, it began immediately to comply. Westerners are thrilled.

Third, speaking of the West, Carter believed he owed his election to radical environmentalists and, at their urging, declared war on rural westerners, especially those who depended on federal lands for their livelihoods. Western governors, most of them Democrats, were outraged by his actions. Until the Georgia peanut farmer came along, management of western federal lands had been a bipartisan enterprise: Democrats and Republicans alike supported building dams, grazing livestock, producing oil and gas, exploring and mining ore, and logging and milling timber on federal lands.

Bipartisan too was the “Sagebrush Rebellion” that erupted in response to Carter’s “War on the West,” but it was Ronald Reagan, former governor of California — half of which is owned by the federal government — who said in response, “Count me in as a rebel.” Just before taking office, Reagan telegrammed fellow rebels in Salt Lake City, advising that there was a new sheriff in town and promising a “Sagebrush Solution” by ensuring “states have an equitable share of public lands and their natural resources.”

Reagan quelled the rebellion by consulting with western governors and by restoring multiple use and sustained yield, as mandated by Congress years earlier, which governs how most federal lands — not including parks, monuments, or wilderness areas — are managed. For Reagan, that meant utilizing the vast oil and gas potential of federal lands, by which he foresaw American energy independence and the solution to the energy, economic, and international crises created by Carter.

For Democrats, however, the die was cast by Carter’s enthusiastic embrace of radical environmentalists, truly “Merchants of Despair.” For example, by 2020, every Democratic presidential candidate promised, as to America’s rich federal energy resources, “Leave it in the ground.”

Thus, upon taking office, Biden stopped issuing federal oil and gas leases. Only President Truman, for whom the Outer Continental Shelf was unavailable, issued fewer. Worse yet, Biden ended “multiple use and sustained yield” of federal lands, killed logging, mining, and grazing, among other economic uses, and perversely redefined “conservation,” which means wise use, as preservation. Soon, fortunately, Trump will end that legacy of the Carter years.

It is hard to believe one man could get so much wrong and that his legacy of incompetence would last half a century. Unfortunately, he and it did. The good news, just in time for the celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday: Trump is setting things right.

Mr. Pendley, a Marine, Wyoming attorney, and Colorado-based, public-interest lawyer for three decades with victories at the Supreme Court of the United States, served in the Reagan administration, and led the Bureau of Land Management for President Trump.
