Tonight’s blog came about when I responded to a post about Joe Biden. 

Joe often gets a bum’s wrap when people discuss his leadership. However, I also am a quiet person, but I don’t ever imagine myself as less than others because I’m quiet. Even though I’m not always “seen” as a great orator, I can be heard through my writings.

Joe Biden may have to pause and control his speech when he is in a hostile environment. He has admitted publically that he has stuttered all of his life. Sadly, he has often been looked down on as weak because of this condition.

However, this quiet, strong commander in chief quietly stepped up after trumps horrific attempt at overthrowing the government. Joe was left with a nation stunned by trump’s chaotic efforts to cling to the White House. Trump used his position to create and encourage an angry mob to harm, maim, and destroy democrats and White House staff. Trump sat there in defiance and silently committed treason.

Also, during the trump 2020 administration, covid happened. Trump’s response to covid was to quip,”Let them drink bleach.” His choice to ignore this quickly spreading, unknown disease demonstrated his lack of empathy for mankind. Unknown for the most part, this deadly disease quickly began to spread across the U.S.

Fortunately, a quiet, solemn man, Joe Biden, stepped up and took over this awe-inspiring office. He immediately hired scientists and medical staff to quickly come together to combat this as yet unknown disease. He organized and challenged these scientists and medical staff to find a preventative and to start manning active test sites. He then had kits distributed, which were given out freely and made available to all. Biden’s calmness helped people who were beyond scared to know someone cared, understood their fear, and had a plan for the good of all of us.

Biden’s first actions in office allowed us to have the use of testing for covid. His care led to the diagnosis and prevention of this unknown disease. He implemented steps we could take to fight this disease, and he brought a sense of stability and peace back to our country.

Through his leadership, a pandemic that could have wiped out millions was contained. Did people die? Yes, but without Biden’s leadership many, many more would have died. Through his quiet authority and caring heart, he took us through what trump turned his nose up to and basically said,”Let them drink bleach.”

Biden also brought us out of a trump depression into a steadily growing economy, of which, when he left office in January 2025, was one of the strongest economies in the world. Within two months of taking office this term, trump has raised the cost of groceries and goods to the point that what we now spend for groceries has tripled. I used to spend an average of $40 to $50 a week for groceries. Now, I’m spending $120 a week for exactly the same groceries.

Another negative force trump labeled Biden with was that Biden was an ineffective speaker and leader. Trump taunted Biden’s speech impediment through humiliation and bullying. When Biden debated trump, trump played on Biden’s well-known disability, stuttering. This continuous taunting from trump caused Biden’s lifelong disability to grow more and more evident.

Yes, Biden stutters. However, trump not only pushed and humiliated Biden because of his stuttering, he hurt our country as a whole by making a show that it is okay to verbally torture and make fun of others for having a disability. If you go back and watch other speeches Biden has made, you will see a man who cares deeply about his constituents, about helping all people, and about the present and future needs of our country, the United States of America.

I invite you to find and watch Biden’s D-day speech. His speech was made in Normandy, France, where brave men rushed in from land and sea in the fight against another madman dictator, Adolf Hitler. Thousands upon thousands died in these attacks. My dad and my uncles fought valiantly for America’s freedom in this war. On this D-day, Biden honored all those men and women who served our country and died in the service of our country. If you watch his D-day  speech, hopefully, it will touch your heart as it did mine.

I pray you are not so callous as to favor the way trump weilds power through put downs and tantrums to the leadership of Joe Biden. In Trump’s first two months of his 2nd term, we are a country at war with each other due to Trump’s tantrums and hatefulness. He has deported American citizens because of their race. He has stolen American citizens’ most valued and private information, and he has divided our nation in the hope that a divided nation will fail. At this  point, if not stopped, our nation will crumble. Then trump will bring in his little friend, Putin, and call on all loyal to him. He will say that we the people should now follow his mentor, Adolf.. oops! slip of the tongue… vladimir putin.

I pray for all in our country, including you. Many people jump on the bandwagon of the one who makes the most noise and puts on the biggest show.. this is definitely trump. However, if you want our country to be kind and profitable again, we need the leadership of someone like President Biden. You may disagree with everything I’ve said today, however, someday, I hope your eyes will be opened to the truth, and you will realize a loud mouth spewing hatred does not create a strong country or a good person. What does work is pulling together for the good of all, leading with true leadership, and respecting all of us, no matter our race, creed, or color.

Thank you for dropping by. If you didn’t read this, hopefully, someone else will, and it will make a difference in his or her life.

Blessings, S.K.E.
