I enjoyed watching Miles Straw play center field. Straw came to the Guardians in 2021. He earned a gold glove for his exemplary fielding in 2023. Unfortunately, he was as bad at the plate as he was great in the field. He hit one home run in 2023. His last one had been two years earlier.
I have enjoyed having Joe Biden as our president. And I know that he is still more than capable of serving our country. Does he have four more years in him? I don’t think so. And this Sunday Joe Biden formalized his decision that even if he had the ability to hold the office for another term, what he didn’t have was the ability to campaign effectively for the job. The debate and his subsequent press conferences proved that he was all glove and no bat.
Did you watch his speech? If you did and you appreciated it, cool. If you did and you found it lacking, well that is OK, too. If you didn’t watch the speech, here is the link. It is only 11 minutes long. This is history-making. You have time. But if you didn’t watch it but are sharing your opinion, then you are only parroting the talking points from Rachel Madow on MSNBC or the disgraced former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, on FOX. Or are you getting your information from a Russian troll toiling in a meme cubicle farm in Drekestan?
There are people who enter public service to do public service. Some of them are Democrats. Some of them are Republicans. That means that they may see how the government should function differently, but their goals, a successful United States of America, are the same. Let’s take a moment to appreciate a true public servant, Joseph R. Biden.
We can resume the political fight in 3, 2, 1…
