OPINION:
In an election year, it is traditional for political parties to ask voters, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” This year, the answer should be a categorical no.
President John F. Kennedy’s “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for the country” assumes that the governing party has fulfilled its duty. But over the past four years, our government has failed its citizens spectacularly. Militarily, economically, socially and educationally, the Biden administration has made a mockery of our institutions and put the country on a path toward Third World status.
We have a corpse for a president, our vice president hasn’t completed any assigned tasks and our secretary of state has done more to destabilize the world than any other single present dictator. Our military is worried about pronouns and “transgender” issues, while our leading educators can’t understand the difference between good and evil.
To top it all off, our legal system released criminals but goes after ordinary citizens who have the temerity to question the lunacy of the administration. With the damage done in four years by President Biden, what will the country look like if he is elected for another term? I can tell you: It would be the Titanic without any lifeboats.
