The media is a husk of its former self. Firebrands and self-styled crusaders who took Biden to task for every inconsequential verbal slip now report on grotesque lies and unprecedented betrayals by Trump with the ennui of a weatherman predicting increasing darkness in the late afternoon and early evening.
What is wrong with these people?
I spent the better part of Sunday speaking with Americans living in London. They care deeply, passionately about the fate of their homeland’s democracy. They are stunned by the inexplicable ability of Democratic leaders to fashion a unified front to challenge the blitzkrieg of lies emanating from the Oval Office each day.
Is the failure of Democratic leaders a lack of ability? Of desire? Or the triumph of personal ambition regarding 2028 presidential politics over their willingness to serve as a leader of the loyal opposition in our nation’s hour of need?
The silence is deafening. There is a grand disconnect.
“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once”
What did William Shakespeare mean by the above quote?
He means that those who run from their fears and never face them are dying metaphorical deaths. They are losing a part of their self-worth and their soul in doing so.
