#A long year of Dem disasters: Devine

This year is ending in much the same way as it began, with furious readers flaming my e-mail inbox. 

“I have only one question. Are you on crack?” wrote Robert in in response to a column about Gen. “White Rage” Mark Milley. 

Jen asked: “Is there a way for me to remove your column from my digital New York Post?” 

There were more hot topics than ever to get readers riled, especially after the election of Joe Biden turbo-charged divisions in the country. 

“Your godfather, Herr Donald Scumpf, was beaten by over 5 million votes!” chortled Elliott. 

“You are beyond being biased,” snarled JSZ. “I guess that’s the only way you can keep your job, you certainly have no writing ability.” 

Stephen also was hung up on Trump: “Your “Drumpfism Is Triumphant” missive has set a new journalistic standard for stupidity, falsehoods and overwhelming insipidness . . . Have a wonderful day, you shrieking cretin.” 

Stuart was equally unimpressed: “You sound like a blabbering idiot in your column.” 

Keeping heat on Hunter 

The Post’s reporting from Hunter Biden’s laptop the past 14 months, revealing exclusive details of Papa Biden’s influence peddling overseas, prompted both brickbats and bouquets. Our reporting has been vindicated as accurate, despite the censorship of Big Tech. 

But diehard Dems like Frank can’t handle the truth: “You are a joke and DANGEROUS to our democracy. You and the NY Post are actively spreading Russian disinformation . . . I felt compelled to reach out because of your whining on Fox News about Twitter and Facebook being unfair to your paper.” 

But Howard was ropeable over a column about then-crackhead Hunter buying a gun after signing a declaration that he didn’t take drugs. “If Joe Biden is serious about firearms background checks he can prove it by prosecuting Hunter for lying on one,” he wrote. 

“I just want to commend you for your spot-on article on H. Biden,” wrote Dave of Point Pleasant, NJ. “He is the poster child for white privilege!” 

Biden on the brain 

Any mention of the president’s cognitive health sent some readers into a frenzy. 

Jeff from New Jersey was outraged by a tongue-in-cheek column asking for a brain function test when Biden had a colonoscopy. 

“Today’s masterful work of literary tripe is perfect for my kitty litter box,” he wrote. 

Tom was more appreciative, writing, “Re: ‘President Biden went for a colonoscopy Friday and his doctor pronounced his brain is fine.’ Greatest. Line. Ever.” 

Steve wrote: “Obviously the doctor who performed that colonoscopy on Biden knew where to look to find out whether his brain was working.” 

George wrote: “Nice work. My brother the doctor observed that the finding of the polyp means ‘that he’s not a perfect a**hole after all.’ ” 

With the 79-year-old president’s polls nose-diving, John saw a silver lining in his claim to be as healthy as a man in his 50s. “Biden running for re-election is probably the best thing that the Republicans could hope for.” 

The fall of A’stan 

A lot of readers grew more concerned as the year wore on. 

“I thought when Biden won, he would just be an incompetent fool,” wrote Bob. “I was too optimistic.” 

The Afghanistan debacle was the turning point for Leslye from Manhattan. 

“It is totally baffling though that he pulled out of Afghanistan the way he did. Infuriating! . . . I am so sick of Biden and Blinken blaming Trump. But people who don’t watch Fox or read the Post will believe the lie.” 

Bob, of Westbury, NY, wrote: “I hope Biden was Winkin’ when he gave Blinken the Nod to oversee the evacuation of Americans. “In any competency test Blinken and Biden would tie for last place.” 

Tony wrote: “Your page [prompted] a combination of anger, despondency, humiliation, tragedy, collapse and sadness… This is where he’s brought us in just 7 months. OMG!!! How do we navigate 4 more years?” 

Jan. 6 hysteria 

Sympathy was the main response to a column about Upper West Sider Joseph Bolanos, raided by the FBI for merely standing outside the Capitol on January 6 after the rioting was over. 

“Greatly appreciated your column ‘FBI tears NYer’s life into shreds,’ ” wrote Robert from Sloatsburg, NY. 

“I don’t know [what] is more shameful . . . those FBI agents who swarmed this senior citizen’s home and tore it apart or those neighbors who turned their back on this guy. Shame on all of them.” 

Retired NYPD officer Patrick from The Bronx wrote: “I wish I could say I’m surprised at the actions of the FBI . . . They are determined to find White Supremacists where none exist”. 

Doris from South Davie, Fla., wrote: “All of those summer riots were planned for the election of Joe Biden… The leadership in the FBI is totally corrupt. This was an organization that was revered as the ultimate law and order enforcement group. How very sad!” 

Trouble at the border 

Illegal migration was another hot topic in a year which will see more than 2 million foreigners stroll across the southern border. The e-mails came thick and fast after we revealed that the Biden administration was secretly flying migrants into White Plains airport in the middle of the night. 

“Thank you for keeping us aware of all this monkey business,” wrote Ron from Westchester, NY. 

“They know that the American voter doesn’t like this one iota,” wrote Steven. “Biden and his administration . . . could care less about average decent Americans.” 

And from an ex-cop, Louie: “There is an old saying in law enforcement. ‘Nothing good happens after midnight’.” 

Mayor Putz . . . 

Any column on Mayor Putz, Bill de Blasio, prompted frothing at the mouth. 

“I have never written to any newspaper before,” wrote Pete from Staten Island. “But the lunacy of the DeBlasio administration has stirred me to action, caused by utter disbelief. I am compelled to write to you, after seeing the mayor ride the trains to ‘prove’ that they are safe . . . If I have my own police detail, I’d ride the train also at all hours too.… We are not the dumb ones. Just saying”. 

. . . and Governor Creep 

Kevin had a few thoughts about fallen luv-gov Andrew Cuomo. “He is a bully, a sex predator, who governed incompetently, and politicized Covid to the point it produced 10,000 unnecessary deaths among the elderly. [But after he was] used to bash Trump last year . . . his positive publicity made him a threat to the ‘powers that be’ in Washington. Hence, they are throwing him to the wolves”. 

Fauci follies 

Another public figure who raised reader hackles was Dr. Anthony Fauci. In response to a column titled, “Enough of Fauci’s lies!”

Steve wrote: “If it was up to him we would [be] wearing masks, social distancing and taking booster shots for the next 50 years. Wonder what he is getting paid because whatever it is he isn’t worth it!” 

In case you think it was all brickbats this year, along came Andrea, a teacher: “Dear Ms. Devine, Please consider running for office; you would make a wonderful president!” 

That won’t be happening. But thank you, dear readers, for all the e-mails, comments, letters and tweets, most of them warm, generous, witty and wise. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
