One geriatric president is enough!

Michael Walsh writes,

Leave it to the Democrats, the party of slavery, segregation, secularism, and sedition, which started the Civil War, to nominate and elect a senile dinosaur from the last human-bondage state in the Union. Their appetite for totalitarianism is boundless, as Biden, railing in his dotage, hurling executive orders and attacking the Supreme Court in seditious terms (overseas, no less), proves every day.

On July 4, we’re already two days past the halfway point of the calendar; in the northern hemisphere the days are growing shorter, and even as we’re enjoying, or used to enjoy, beer (ruined by hipsters and hops) and baseball (fubared) we’re aware that winter is coming. We can’t say we weren’t warned: in 2020, even before he took office, Biden warned of a “dark winter” ahead. Little did we know he meant that all four years of his term would bristle with defeatism, misery, and death, like Delaware but on a grand scale.

Never give up—but never hesitate to change generals when you have to. To equate the fate of our Republic with one man’s loss—and, worse, to hold it hostage to his pique—is in absurd and dangerous. Scipio was a better general than Varro. Grant was a better general than McLellan. Ron DeSantis, 43, who has yet to put a foot wrong as governor of the free state of Florida, will be a far better general than Trump, who will be 78 years old in 2024. One geriatric president is enough.

Thanks to the Democrats’ Jan 6 hearings, and in particular to the unforced and artless testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, Trump has been irremediably damaged. America doesn’t need a King Lear, railing about loyalty among a superannuated rum crew (Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani) while a younger, stronger, better man awaits his turn on the national stage. Let us hope, and pray, that the trial balloons regarding an early announcement of a Trump 2024 candidacy, designed to cut the legs out from underneath any challengers, are just so much Fourth of July hot air, to be borne aloft and away before the last hot dog dies.

Fight on, but fight the next war, not the last one. Winter’s on its way, and while the graveyards may be full of indispensable men, we’re not ready for the cemetery yet. Have a happy Independence Day, America, and many more—if you can keep it.
