Yet the conditions and crises the nation challenges from inflation, China, Russia, Iran, the surge of shootings and murders in significant cities, and our bleeding border are not Biden’s alone; they are America’s. They are ours. If Joe Biden fails, the country does not prosper.
“‘Hope’ is the important things with feathers/ That sets down in the soul,” composed Emily Dickinson. “And sore should be the storm/ That might abash the little Bird/ That kept so many warm.”
Gazing ahead on New Year’s Eve, at what appear to be the coming storms of 2022, this once-hopeful nation is going to need to fall back on its reserves.
What storms?
Unexpectedly, the omicron version of the coronavirus is sweeping the country, shutting schools, stores, restaurants and bars that were just lately reopened. In this recently of 2021, new infections twice set records.
Is a 5th wave of the pandemic showing up, just two years after the first wave hit in March 2020?
What is hopeful here?
While the numbers of contaminated are exploding and deaths are rising anew, the omicron version appears to be less severe and less deadly than the delta variant– and potentially less sustaining.
From the medical community one hears the hope that the omicron version could displace the delta and, as has actually occurred in South Africa, burn itself out.
Still, if today rate of infections and deaths continues, we could have a virus-related million American deaths by spring.
A 2nd storm is economic, with inflation now performing at 6.8%, the greatest rate given that the last days of Jimmy Carter and very first days of Ronald Reagan.

Joe Biden’s celebration and presidency next November. And, according to Thursday’s Washington Post, that may be what is coming:”Strong consumer
demand, continuing supply chain difficulties and the introduction of the omicron version of the coronavirus threaten to extend dramatically increasing rates well into 2022, possibly making inflation the premier economic obstacle of
the new year.”When it comes to U.S. economic development, projections for the first quarter of 2022 are being cut down from 5.2%to 2.2%. Nor does the world look anymore tranquil from this perspective. In the second week of January, U.S. talks with Russia begin, probably in Geneva, on Russian President
Vladimir Putin’s need for guarantees that Ukraine not be confessed into NATO and no U.S. offensive weapons be stationed in a border country from which they can be utilized to attack Russia with only minutes notice
. The hopeful news: Putin apparently bought 10,000 of the 100,000 Russian soldiers on Ukraine’s border back to their bases deeper in Russia. Still, it is difficult to believe Putin is bluffing when he says that if Ukraine is invited to end up being a full member of NATO, Russia will ensure that the consummation never occurs. As for China, there is no sign it is
withdrawing from any of its territorial needs– on its Himalayan border with India, with half a dozen rival nations in the South and East China seas, or
with Taiwan. Probably the very best we can hope for in the simmering Taiwan crisis is that China will delay its insistence on annexation of the island of 24 million while it digests the recently complimentary city of Hong Kong. Negotiation with Iran on a shared go back to the 2015 nuclear offer appears to be nearing the fish-or-cut-bait moment. Ought to the talks collapse without Iran’s return to the constraints of the offer, we will, early
in the new year, hear more animated talk of”other choices “and”Fallback”– synonyms for U.S. attacks on Tehran’s nuclear facilities. Hovering over all of the above is the gnawing and growing concern
among the American people about the physical and psychological capabilities of their president. Watch the current Videos on Our Buchanan-Trump YouTube Playlist! A month ago, a Politico survey found that while 46% of Americans think Biden is mentally fit for his office, 48 %disagree. In the same poll, only about half of all Americans felt Biden was “in good health.”All that talk of a few months back of Biden being a statesman of remarkable skills, possibly a 2nd Franklin D. Roosevelt or Lyndon B. Johnson, has died out.
Yet the ailments and crises the country faces from inflation, China, Russia, Iran, the explosion of shootings and murders in major cities
, and our bleeding border are not Biden’s alone; they are America’s. They are ours. If Joe Biden stops working, the nation does not succeed. Yet, because mid-August, an average of national surveys has shown Biden to be slipping underwater and sinking deeper. His disapproval rating is now 10 points higher than his approval score, which beings in the low 40s. What does the future hold? The
most current news gave 23 the variety of House Democrats who are retiring or searching for another position rather than running for reelection in 2022. Yet, to regain the House majority, the GOP needs a net gain of just 5 seats in the 435-member chamber. Most pundits believe the Democrats will lose your home and
, if they do, the U.S. government will grind to gridlock for the next 2 years. Not precisely a formula for the remediation of a lost nationwide unity or purpose. Do You Value Reading Our Emails and Website? Let us know how we are
