American Tragedy

Nine days.

We rid the stain of a truly odious, terrible, evil person. But not the stench. Nor the damage done, both domestically and throughout the rest of the world.

The carnage, which started on that bleak Friday four years ago, will take years to access and repair. The respectability and leadership that was granted to us in 1945, 76 years ago, has been diminished to a point where four years of a Biden/Harris administration can attempt to try to bring back, one can hope. But like so many things, hope doesn’t always mesh with reality.
