Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States, dead at 100
The former president entered hospice care in February 2023
Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States and a former peanut farmer whose vision of a "competent and compassionate" government propelled him into the White House, died on Sunday, according to local media. He was 100.
The news was announced by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday. Carter's death follows the passing of his wife Rosalynn on Nov. 19, 2023 at the age of 96 with her family by her side at the Carter home in Plains, Georgia, just days after she had been admitted to hospice care.
The late former president himself had entered hospice care in February 2023. Carter survived for years after he had a "small mass" removed from his liver in early August 2015 and later that month announced he had liver cancer that had spread throughout his body.
The Carter family had a history of cancer and the former president lost his father, brother, and two sisters to pancreatic cancer. His mother had breast cancer, which later spread to her pancreas.
Jason Carter, Carter's grandson, had announced in May that he believed the former president was "coming to the end" of his life's journey. But the former president hung on much longer.
The soft-spoken leader with a signature Georgia drawl saw his single term in the Oval Office clouded by an economic downturn at home and a hostage crisis abroad.
His post-presidency life was marked by a very visible dedication to service, but also a series of sometimes controversial moves as he continued to wade into foreign affairs, particularly as it related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Carter met with the leadership of terrorist group and Palestinian representative Hamas in 2009 and 2015. He reprimanded Israel for its operations against Hamas in 2014, saying there was "no justification in the world for what Israel is doing."
James Earl Carter Jr. was born in 1924 in Plains, Georgia. Plains was a farming town and Carter’s father was a farmer, a background that helped instill in him a love of the land – and the working and lower class people who tilled it – that would follow him throughout his personal and professional life.
But Carter initially sought a path outside the dirt of Plains and, after attending the U.S. Naval Academy, he served as a submariner in the post-World War II navy, eventually attaining the rank of lieutenant.

I'm glad he lived long enough to no longer be the worst President in history of the US.

I'm glad that the Biden Regime will oversee his funeral so Team Trump doesn't have to.

I don’t think much of habitat for humanity either. Ineffective waste of money. Most housing issues could be solved by rolling back Dem policies and regulations.

Carter spent his remaining years building houses for the people who lost their life savings under his term.
How fitting Biden will give the eulogy, two one term losers.

I always got the feeling that Carter was a good man, but very misguided on policy. Biden, otoh, is a POS and is a tool for the controlled demolition of the USA. Huge difference. At least Carter, misguided or not, believed that what he was doing was for the best of the country.

Maybe they will get them mixed up and bury Biden by mistake.

I doubt that will help him at his judgement when millions of kids he helped abort show up ...

Read this and tell me how great a guy Jimmah Carter was.

He was likely a bigger POS than Biden, believe it or not.
