We are living in historic times. Sometimes, this is good, and other times, not so much. With some things baked in, such as Joe Biden’s dump, bad economic policy, and confused foreign policymaking, trouble is in the cards. “When troubles come, they come not single spies but in battalions.” (Claudius, Hamlet Act IV, Scene V). So it is today. A never-ending war in the Ukraine, joined by a widening war in the Middle East and the news of a weakening economy, has all the earmarks of a perfect storm.

Thank goodness, with our top-notch leadership, we have little to fear. Of course, I jest. Led by a vain old fool, the administrationc ontinues to make the wrong choices. By designating Biden’s compliant vice president as its nominee, the Democrats are doubling down on failure. Given a chance to bring in somebody new from their outside group of Governors who promised to give them a fresh start, they all jumped on the Kamala bandwagon.

While she’s getting the predicted sainthood treatment from the Democrats and legacy media, she’s been part of the Biden-Harris administration, and that’s not lost on the general public. Added to this mess, she has her own baggage. Can she pretend to be something else besides the San Fransico progressive she’s always been?

Selecting Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz as her vice president will not change perceptions. Instead, it will affirm that the ticket is running to the left. Waltz is a guy who feels that being a socialist is just being neighborly.
