It goes without saying, being the President of the United States is the most important job in the world. When the Justice Department’s special prosecutor, Robert Hur, released his report on February 9th concluding criminal charges were not merited in Biden’s handling of classified documents, the bigger story was the observation that Biden was ““a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” To be criminal, willful intent must be proven. But what shocked me was how quick the left attacked Robert Hur as a “Trump-appointed, politically motivated” hack whose observations didn’t belong in the report. While arguable, it’s as though the left had suddenly stolen and drunk the mad-dog Kool-Aid from the Trump-etts as they ferociously attacked the messenger but ignored the message. Did I mention the Presidency is the most important job in the world? If Biden, or Trump, is slipping mentally? Shouldn’t we know this?

“Healthy skepticism” is a phrase I heard frequently growing up, but I haven’t heard in years. Come to think of it, wasn’t it a required class we all had to take in high school during the Viet Nam era? Obviously, as a society we are not “healthy,” but these days people jump to a conclusion simply by which tribe they belong to rather than arrive at a conclusion by process — thinking. We’ve been here before. President Reagan’s 2nd term was marked by his progressing dementia though that fact was a carefully guarded secret while he was still in office. In the 1986 nuclear disarmament talks with Gorbachev, they were close to eliminating all nuclear weapons, but Reagan unexpectedly refused, settled for a lesser agreement, and then reportedly signed his name backwards — Reagan Ronald — on the treaty.
