I was saddened to read that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. I have known several people who have had Prostate Cancer and, years later, are alive and kicking, still enjoying a fruitful life. What saddened me more was the conspiracy theorists coming out of the woodwork, claiming Biden was not competent and an investigation was needed to determine why he remained in office. Some have called it one of the biggest cover-ups in the history of our nation. What saddens me most is that even though the Republicans control both Houses and the White House, they have to continue to attack Biden.  Instead of trying to live up to their campaign promises, they attack the man who has retired from public service. He has Prostate cancer, which does not affect the brain.  Throughout his presidency, Biden has been very honest with the nation, which is something that Trump may say, but that wouldn’t be the truth. History will judge Biden just like it will judge Trump. The attacks on Biden by Trump, his family, and his supporters show just how classless the Republican Party has become.

When Biden was elected, I was hoping he would be a one-term President and he would spend his four years grooming the Democratic party for the future. Just because that is what I wanted didn’t mean it would happen. He had great success, and he thought he could continue his success for another four years. I knew it was a mistake that would come back and haunt the Democratic Party. Trump has never stopped attacking those 4 years in office, and Biden thought all he had to do was do a good job, and the people would reward him. It was his faith in the American People, I think was his Achilles' heel. The problem is that today’s cable news doing a good job like Biden did, but that’s not enough because good doesn’t sell. It is the hate and bigotry that Trump brings to the table that sells. Our borders were open no more with Biden than they were with Trump. The only thing that changed is that we treated immigrants more humanely. We stopped separating children from their parents and tried to treat people humanely. Imagine treating people more humanely in a Christian nation and being punished and ridiculed for it. That is what happened to Biden. All during Biden's Presidency, Trump and the Republicans attacked the Biden administration unmercifully. Biden kept focusing on the job and what he wanted to accomplish for the American people.

Trump insults and bullies pretty much everyone who doesn’t treat him as the god that he thinks he should be treated like. Trump surrounds himself with what most of us would consider excess, like an emperor would. He also surrounds himself with people who tell him how great he is and what a great job he is doing. I have been on this earth for almost 72 years, and I have never heard so much false praise piled on anyone. That is not a sign of a great man. That is a sign of an incompetent man trying to look competent. When I see a cabinet meeting start with the speaker thanking Trump, it just sounds so phony, like a cartoon production or a comedy production on Saturday Night Live. That shows you how poor of a leader he is when, instead of taking control of the meeting, he just sits there and lets people flatter him. He is the emperor walking through the streets naked, and everyone is telling him how nicely he is dressed. When you are President, you have to be able to take criticism, and Biden had his fair share, just like every president before him. Trump needs to be constantly told how great he is, like some self-conscious little child.

Trump has been getting into a real big huff because of Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen is on a European Tour and spoke to the crowd, giving his opinion of what is happening in America. Springsteen speaks his mind on what he thinks is happening to the country that he loves, and the entire Trump administration goes nuts.  Springsteen is a great American Artist who, in the 80s, stepped up and supported our Veterans, especially the Vietnam Veterans. In some ways, Springsteen is a little like Trump, where he didn’t serve, but he has treated those who did serve as the heroes that they deserved to be treated as. Springsteen would not let them be forgotten and made sure the nation didn’t forget their sacrifice. I don’t think that Springsteen thinks of himself as a Patriot but more as a person who supports the Patriots that Trump considers suckers and losers.

  1. In my opinion the biggest failure of the Biden Administration was not immediately investigating Trump's involvement into the January 6th insurrection. I don't know if Biden assumed Trump was washed up and would not run again or win the republican nomination.
    All Biden's and AG Merrick Garland's inaction did was make January 6th look like Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch.
    Yeah, Biden should have attempted to run for reelection. That decision is the definition of a strategic failure.

This is my continued search on whether Trump has the Character to be President. A person I know stated “His character matters bc it is in the character I believe he has the leadership, knowledge, wisdom, experience, compassion, integrity that will lead us on the path towards a more safe, secure, healthy, prosperous, free world than the direction we are headed.” My last blog looked at his character as integrity from a legal standpoint before he even was elected President. From a legal standpoint there is no way I would have thought he had the integrity to be President. Now I will look at some of his Moral Integrity and Compassion that should be there from the man that sits in the White House.  I have to say something about Donald Trump, he sure is a believer in the institution of marriage. He likes marriage so much that he has said “I do” three times. What his problem with marriage is the actual vow that he has to take. You know that love, honor, and cherish until death do us part. ...
  I will tell you that I am no Christian, but I will tell you that I was raised in a Christian household. I was baptized, went to Sunday School, was Confirmed, and attended church into adulthood. Because of that upbringing, I still think about the morals I learned from that religious upbringing. To this day, I judge right and wrong by what I learned in that church. There has been a little bit of a dispute between The Pope of the Catholic Church, the Trump administration, the deportations, and Catholic convert Vance and his use of the concept from the medieval Catholic theology known in Latin as “Ordo Amoris”. I guess Vance has said the concept delineates a hierarchy of care – to family first, followed by neighbor, community, fellow citizen, and lastly those elsewhere. Being raised a Protestant I had never heard of it but then the Lutheran Church has no medieval saint.   I searched on the web and asked if “Ordo Amoris” was in the Bible and the short answer would be “no”. It i...
  MAGA called Biden a dictator, a Tyrant, a Nazi, a Communist, and the head of the Biden Crime Family. Biden was, of course, none of those things. Biden was a good Christian man who believed in God and the American system. When Biden said “God Bless America”, he meant it, whereas many politicians say, “God Bless America” only because they want your vote. Many people will say that Biden was weak. I don’t say that he was weak but I understand why some would say that. He believed in the system and he believed in the American people. It was our voice that was supposed to be important. It was not just his responsibility for our Democratic Republic to survive and flourish it was our responsibility too. Have we, as a country, lost our faith in our Democratic Republic? Have we lost the vision that was our Forefathers? Do today's Americans even understand what their vision was? What is a government by the People, of the People for the People?   Is that even close to what we have toda...
