As the year draws to a close, it’s time to go walking in a winter pun-derland as we take a look back at the shining gifts (and lumps of coal) coming out of Washington recently and look forward, beyond the 12 days of Christmas, to the busy political season ahead.

One of the biggest gifts may come next November if Democrats continue their pattern of missteps and hand Congress back to Republicans wrapped up with a bow. President Joe Biden finds himself on America’s naughty list as his favorability continues to plummet. Nearly half feel that Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, raising serious questions about his chemis-tree with voters. Corn Pop may have been a bad dude, but it appears Biden is a bad president.
