I think it was pretty clear to us all the biden was struggling. I wonder really if in some ways, when you take war put of the picture, that the general day to day running of things is probably already well established and people just get on with it. I sort of think of leaders as being like the face and public representative of a group of people involved. I don't visualise them as having final say and ultimate power to change things. They are probably heavily swayed by advisors.
P.s. sorry you guys are having troubles. It doesn't sound fun.
In a functioning democracy, the president should be evaluated by an independent medical team. Someone not competent enough to stand trial for mishandling classified documents is not competent enough to be negotiating with Putin on whether or not to unleash nuclear war. At the very least voters should have had access to the Hurr tapes to know the mental condition of who they were voting for. To hear Karine Jean Pierre and Kamala attack Hurr as partisan while withholding those tapes is all you need to understand Democrat party ethics and their definition of what misinformation and cheap fakes really is. They lied, deflected, and used personal attacks of ageism, racism, etc so long as it benefitted them politically. Voters should be very skeptical of what Democrat politicians tell them, given that we now know how willing they are to lie and deceive to gain political advantage.
For Jake Tapper to now start telling the truth in hopes of regaining the credibility the mainstream media lost is laughable.
I underwent radiation therapy for prostate cancer 7 years ago. It seems like yesterday to me now. So far, there are no indications that the cancer has returned. I am regularly checked by my radiation oncologist and, and so far, my PSA levels have remained so low as to be just barely detectable, which is a good sign, they say. The only lingering consequence is that I can't pee without the help of urinary catheters. I hate that, but unless they come up with an effective procedure to rejuvenate my bladder to full normal function, I am going to have to live with that for the rest of my life.
At least the radiation treatment was painless, and at no time did I ever experience pain due to the cancer. If you have to have cancer, prostate cancer is the one to have.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

You are a trooper, my friend. I admire you more than you know!

I don't think it's a coincidence Republicans started losing their mind the moment a black man was elected president. COVID certainly finished the job of turning their brains into bigoted mush, but I remember when it started.
Those teachers who ever said "there is no such thing as a stupid question" never had Markk for a student.
Amen.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”
Joe Biden was running things. Prostate cancer would not interfere with that.
Indeed. When Markk gets prostate cancer, may it never happen, it will probably sharpen his mental faculties.
