Joe Biden's warts are showing
The best the established parties can do is present two lousy candidates, giving voters a choice “between Skylla and Charybdis,” the lesser of two evils.
The risk of former President Donald Trump is well known, and the press and left have identified all of his unpleasant warts, warbles and risks. And surely there are many.
But the warts, warbles and risks of President Joe Biden have been ignored or denied, at least until now. Indeed, the press and the Democratic Party have spent the last three-plus years shielding Biden from the normal public contact and scrutiny to which a president typically is subjected.
Letters: Biden needs to take his dad's advice after awful debate. The 'I had a cold' excuse blows.
Only now are we starting to see Biden’s true condition.
And, objectively, it isn’t pretty. But instead of being honest, the left still tamps down the grim reality with spin and excuses. And the recent treatment of Jake Tapper, who tried to acknowledge the truth, demonstrates the degree to which the left will go to maintain the charade. They are willing to eat their own.
So unlike Trump, we do not know what we are really getting with Biden. Not even close. And we won’t know until it is too late.
So much for the commitment to truth and transparency.

Extremes in politics not good for America
Pendulum politics, where policies swing dramatically between extremes with each election, is not good for America. This approach, coupled with politicians from both parties who automatically reject ideas from the other side, hampers progress and fosters division.
It's time for all citizens — Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and even those who don't vote — to support politicians willing to work together, compromise, and reach consensus.
Only through collaboration can we solve problems and improve our country for everyone.
