Presidents Day

Congress
threw a bone to black Americans by establishing a Martin Luther King
holiday. In order to accommodate MLK, they had to make room for him.
Congress did so by eliminating the birthday holiday for Abraham Lincoln
and, instead, celebrating it together with George Washington Day.
Liberals prefer to call it President's Day.
MLK most certainly deserves his place in history, but at the cost of Lincoln? I don't think so.
I
wouldn't be surprised if some day congress established a George Floyd
holiday. They just have to find a current holiday to eliminate -
probably Columbus Day.
The Best President
Harry
S. Truman became president during WWII. He ended the war by dropping
nukes on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Truman has been
much condemned for resorting to the A Bombs, but if we had invaded Japan
instead, it would have been at the cos of thousands and thousands
American lives.
Truman
also showed Gen. Douglas MacArthur who was the actual Commander in
Chief by firing his ass for disobeying orders. That took a lot of guts
because MacArthur was favored by many to be the next president.
Truman's
foreign policies made for a better world. The most criticism he
received was for publicly calling columnist Drew Pearson a son of a
bitch for trashing daughter margaret Truman's piano performance.
The Most Unqualified President
Barack Obama was undoubtedly the most unqualified president in American history.
Did
Obama have any executive experience? No! Did he have any foreign policy
experience? No! Did he ever serve as much as one day in the military?
No! Obama was a community organizer (troublemaker) and one-term US
senator before being elected president.
Obama's
crowning achievement was a nuclear agreement with Iran for which he
gave the Ayatollahs $400 million in cash and which allowed them to
develop nuclear weapons in the future anyway.
The Untouchable President
The color of his skin made Barack Obama untouchable.
The slightest bit of criticism directed at America's first black president was and would be labeled as being racist.
The 'War on Cops' President
Barack Obama, along with Joe Biden, has been the most anti-police president.
Obama started the war on cops following
the arrest of his friend Harvard professor Henry Lois Gates in 2009.
Given the occasion, Obama accuses the police of systemic racism.
The war on cops that Obama started continues unabated under Biden's administration.
The Unhinged President
President
Donald Trump did make America great again. His policies, both foreign
and domestic, were badly needed and he deserves to be commended for
them. Unfortunately, President Biden has reversed most of them.
On
top of all the good he did, Trump became unhinged at times. He used
tweets to make personal attacks against his critics instead of attacking
the criticism. Those tweets cost him the independent vote which is
crucial in any election.
His behavior and actions upon learning he had lost to Biden, and afterwards, were not those of a sane person.
The 80-Year-Old Not-Senile President
At
80-years-old, President Joe Biden is the oldest president ever. He
moves slowly and sometimes awkwardly. He gets confused at times about
where he is and with whom he is. Biden is also prone to experience
short-term memory losses. These problems have convinced many people that Joe is senile. I have some friends who you cannot convince otherwise.
I
have always maintained that Biden is not senile. Short- term memory
loss, a slow gait, occasional stumbling, and confusion are all common to
elderly people, but that does not necessarily make them senile.
Biden
has just returned fro visits to Ukraine and Poland. In Warsaw he gave a
rousing speech against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the war
against Ukraine. And he did not have to use a teleprompter. That speech
should have put the conjecture of senility to rest.
As for Biden's presidency, it's one of the worst in American history. In Kamala Harris, he picked the dumbest and most embarrassing vice
president ever. His border policy - that is if he actually has one - has
been an utter disaster. Biden has continued Obama's war on cops. He has
reversed most of Trump's commendable policies. And Biden's chief
foreign policy aim is to maintain Obama's Iran nuclear agreement legacy.
UPDATE February 24, 2023: I watched this
evening's ABC News during which David Muir interviewed President Biden
at the White House on a number of issues. The segment lasted about 20
minutes and Muir did not pitch any softballs. Biden answered every
question clearly and with hardly any hesitation.
Biden demonstrated that he is
not senile and anyone who still thinks otherwise needs to have his own head examined.
The Next President
I have long advocated a Nikki Haley presidency. In my opinion, Nikki is
by far the best candidate the Republicans have to offer, better than Ron
DeSantis or any other prospective GOP candidate.
Nikki's
executive experience as governor of South Carolina and her foreign
policy experience as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations make Nikki
the most qualified candidate in either party.
I would like for Nikki to pick former Navy SEAL, now Congressman Dan Crenshaw as her vice president.
I
probably won't live long enough to see who gets elected our next
president, but America will be blessed with President Nikki Haley.
