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.

    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.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
