If it should happen that Biden loses the presidency, he will leave a legacy that any ex-presidents would like to have on their legacy. Biden got his Infrastructure Bill passed. Every month it is recorded that he has added 200 to 300 thousand jobs to the economy. We are not at war. Our kids right out of high school don’t have to worry about going to war. The stock market is going through the roof. Unemployment is as low as it has ever been. The Democrats tried to raise the minimum wage from seven something dollars to 12 and a half dollars a while back but was voted down by those pesky Republicans. McDonalds is paying $16 an hour now just to start there. That is another sign of a robust economy. The Republicans keep saying they are going to make America great again. But they don’t say where they are going to start or what they are going to make better. This country is in the best shape it has ever been — it has never been better. Why would anyone want to change anything? The Republicans made such a big issue out of Biden’s two verbal slips during the debate. I don’t know why there wasn’t more discussion on the way Trump sidestepped about that Jan. 6 insurrection. He was asked twice what he felt about that and never talked about it. He changed the subject to that border wall. Why isn’t there any discussion on the way he side stepped around that question?

I wrote the previous words Sunday morning, July 21, before Biden stepped down. I put it in my saved file. I thought it was so good I figure it deserved being published. I didn’t think anyone would lose against a felon that has been convicted of so many crimes. This can only happen in America. I am still bragging I didn’t vote for Trump.
