Apparently, calling for the destruction of a key strategic ally doesn’t disqualify someone from handling classified intelligence. Nor does associating with people who support Islamist terrorism — at least not in President Joe Biden’s White House.
Now that Democrats control the White House and both houses of Congress, their voters will expect them to push all kinds of desired policies. Democratic lawmakers will feel pressure to implement their agenda, as will President Joe Biden. This will force the Democratic Party to face a fundamental contradiction: It’s now the party of both big business and democratic socialism.
It only took a few hours in office for President Joe Biden to show how woke he is. Shortly after the inauguration on Wednesday, Biden signed a slew of executive orders, one of which should be of particular concern to women.
For the past five and a half years, ever since Trump began leading the 2016 Republican primary, the left has centered all its focus and energy and priorities around one Donald J. Trump. No word in the English language quite captures how intense this obsession has been.
Consider this the beginning of a handbook. How to begin unifying the country, step one: Stop comparing everything to the Holocaust and demonizing your political opponents as Nazis.

On election night, when President Donald Trump seemed in position to be re-elected, no one was more alarmed than the leaders of Iran. Facing the prospect of a second term for the Trump administration, the thugs atop Iran’s clerical regime no doubt wondered how they’d endure four more years of the US imposing crippling economic sanctions on Iran, potentially killing more senior Iranian officials, and staunchly supporting their chief regional enemies, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
This past year was one we won’t miss. From racial tensions to a deadly pandemic, the turmoil and disruptions of 2020 tested America’s resolve. And the presidential election further intensified our deep political divisions. Still, there was a bright spot amid the bleakness.
Joe Biden and his defenders would like you to think he’s the man to bring Americans together — the moderate savior who will unify us.
