Our current situation, threatening as it is to all we hold dear as Americans, is not in any way comfortable. That said, it offers benefits. One of them is this: people are revealing themselves for who they are. Gone are the days of obfuscation, moderation, and triangulation. If you’re running for my school board, for example, I want to know where you stand on Critical Race Theory — in other words, whether you’re out to destroy my children. Leave that off your Candidate’s Position Statement, and the rest of it isn’t helpful.
The Office Holder Formerly Known as Joe Biden told anyone still harboring doubts all he needed to know about him in half an hour Wednesday.
He addressed the graduates of the Coast Guard Academy, an elite group of 200, chosen from over 3,000 who apply. For four years, they study science, warfare, and how to sail a tall ship. Thirty-five percent are women. I wager that all are indeed the “fierce patriots” Biden called them in his speech.
They listened politely as Biden did four things in rapid succession that revealed his character and fitness to lead. Spoiler alert: he can claim neither.
He could not recall the name of the Coast Guard commander. No doubt teleprompters were in place, as usual, and perhaps an earpiece, too, but it was beyond him. He turned away from the microphone for help, then uttered a few garbled syllables. This comes as no surprise to anyone who has observed his remarkable cognitive decline.
As a Christian I have found myself wondering why God would let this happen – he had given our great Nation Donald Trump who was doing so much for us. But my teachings are that God is in control and “draining the swamp” was more than just a cliche.
From Nancy tearing up the State of the Union, the Russian collusion lie, stolen election and yes, even the Covid virus attack from China. It all has exposed those in power who would destroy us.
It may take a few years (2022 and 2024 can’t get here fast enough) but things will change.
They must – for I believe that God is in control.
