Giving Thanks for President Biden

When then-candidate Trump was nearly killed last July, most Americans, not just Republicans, gave thanks to God, the universe, their lucky stars, or whomever one gives thanks to when disaster is averted. The Republic will survive the election of President Trump, but perhaps his assassination would have made its continuance problematic.

And if Republicans are totally honest with themselves, they should give thanks that President Biden served his entire term of office. If he had been stricken--or had stepped down voluntarily--any time during the past four years, an incumbent President Harris might well have won the election. Yes, IMHO, there was a cover-up of Mr. Biden's deteriorating mental condition by Democrat insiders and the media, but he chose to cling to office, and for that choice, however misguided, Republicans should be grateful.

Today it was revealed that President Biden is suffering from advanced prostate cancer. So let's join the majority of Americans for whom politics is not the be-all and end-all of existence and pray for him and his family.
