Now Is the Moment for Biden s Age to Be an Asset DNyuz

Today, we have an older, wiser president. Biden s age and tendency to speak too freely are often seen as weaknesses. Poll after poll has revealed that this is his Achilles heel, the thing that gives voters the most pause about giving him, who will be 81 on election day, another four years in the hardest job in the world.

But in a moment like this age, experience and a willingness to speak uncomfortable truths are vital strengths, both practically and politically. Biden is a wise old man who has seen a lot of things. He can and does speak plainly, even when it would be narrowly more politic not to. He has a long history of stalwart public support of Israel coupled with sometimes tough criticism behind the scenes. It is time for him to speak those truths, loudly, plainly and publicly.

I do not provide the author’s name as I suspect this will not age well. In fact, it begins life already pretty ripe.

It would be great if we had President DeSantis now, but alas it’s looking like we never will. If we get out of this with Israel intact and no war with Iran, it will be a miracle. But America gets them all the time, which I guess just shows you, God takes mercy on the stupid (us) and the smart (the Jews, though arguably the mercy is lacking sometimes).
