From The Wall Street Journal and other media outlets on Feb. 7, 2026: “Trump shares racist video depicting the Obamas as monkeys.” This from the President of the United States. Pages and pages can be filled with the president’s lies, personal attacks, lawsuit threats, etc. Not to mention the graft, self dealing and debasement that goes on with his millionaire “friends” and MAGA supporters.
It is quaint to go back in time and remember this quotation from John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address as president in 1961: “And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” Another quote from the same address: “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few that are rich”.
We have fallen very far as a country and as a democratic society. We will fall even farther before the bottom is reached. What to do? Pray. We are under siege. There are no atheists in foxholes.
