Preparing For The End!

Jimmy Carter is preparing for the end.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former presidents Donald J. Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, former vice presidents Mike Pence, Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Dan Quayle were informed about former president Jimmy Carter being admitted to hospice.

The former presidents and current will address his passing in the coming days.

Biden, 80 is the oldest living president who is currently serving as the 46th President of the United States. Trump was the previous holder and then Ronald Reagan.

The 39th President of the United States, James Earl Carter Jr. served from 1977 until 1981.

A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 76th governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975 and as a Georgia state senator from 1963 to 1967. Since leaving office, Carter has remained engaged in political and social projects, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work.

He was dealt a major blow to his one term. Republicans upset over Gerald Ford being defeated, the rise of Roger Stone, Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater, inflation, the tension in the Middle East, culture wars and a Democratic Party challenger named Ted Kennedy.

All of this paved the way for Ronald Reagan and the conservative revolution.

He is the oldest living former president at the age of 98. Trump will be the oldest former living president, then George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Carter will receive hospice care at home instead of treatment at the hospital, according to a social media message from The Carter Center.

While campaigning for Raphael Warnock and Stacey Abrams, President Joe Biden with First Lady Jill Biden paid former president Jimmy Carter and Roselyn a visit.

The Center, a charity created by Carter, said Saturday that the former president had experienced a series of short hospital stays before deciding to “spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”

In August 2015, Carter had a small cancerous mass removed from his liver. The following year, Carter announced that he needed no further treatment, as an experimental drug had eliminated any sign of cancer.

Carter celebrated his most recent birthday in October with family and friends in Plains, the tiny Georgia town where he and his wife, Rosalynn, were born in the years between World War I and the Great Depression.

Known for his Christian faith, Carter continued teaching Sunday School at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains well into his 90s.

The Carter Center, which the 39th president and the former first lady established after their one White House term, last year marked 40 years of promoting democracy and conflict resolution, monitoring elections, and advancing public health in the developing world.

Born and raised in Plains, Georgia, Carter graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946 with a Bachelor of Science degree and joined the United States Navy, serving on numerous submarines. After the death of his father in 1953, he left his naval career and returned home to Plains, where he assumed control of his family's peanut-growing business. He inherited little, due to his father's forgiveness of debts and the division of the estate amongst himself and his siblings. Nevertheless, his ambition to expand and grow the family's peanut farm was fulfilled. During this period, Carter was encouraged to oppose racial segregation and support the growing civil rights movement. 

He became an activist within the Democratic Party. From 1963 to 1967, Carter served in the Georgia State Senate, and in 1970 was elected as governor of Georgia, defeating former Governor Carl Sanders in the Democratic primary. He remained in office until 1975. Despite being a dark-horse candidate who was not well known outside of Georgia, he won the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. In the 1976 presidential election, Carter ran as an outsider and narrowly defeated incumbent Republican president Gerald Ford.

On his second day in office, Carter pardoned all Vietnam War draft evaders by issuing Proclamation 4483. During his term, two new cabinet-level departments—the Department of Energy and the Department of Education—were established. He created a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology. Carter pursued the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal Treaties, and the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II). On the economic front he confronted stagflation, a persistent combination of high inflation, high unemployment, and slow growth.

The end of his presidency was marked by the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, the Nicaraguan Revolution, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In response to the invasion, Carter escalated the Cold War when he ended détente, imposed a grain embargo against the Soviets, enunciated the Carter Doctrine, and led a 1980 Summer Olympics boycott in Moscow. He is the only president to have served a full term in office and not have appointed a justice to the Supreme Court. 

In the 1980 Democratic Party presidential primaries, he was challenged by Senator Ted Kennedy, but won re-nomination at the 1980 Democratic National Convention. Carter lost the 1980 presidential election in an electoral landslide to Republican nominee Ronald Reagan. Polls of historians and political scientists generally rank Carter as a below-average president, although his post-presidential activities have been viewed more favorably than his presidency.
