Mazel Tov (Good Luck) to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We are seeing a new dawn in America after 4 years of darkness, chaos, dishonesty, premeditated division, corruption, and incompetence. The road ahead will not be easy. Biden will have a big task in cleaning up the mess which Trump will leave behind him. Trump is still planning frivolous laws suits to challenge the election. Congratulations have come in from all over the world, but most Republican senators and congressmen have remained silent. Some have voiced agreement with Trump in his false claims of “election fraud.” But Biden has wisely voiced a desire to find common ground with the Republicans to forge ahead with sanity and progress to benefit all Americans. Joe has the wisdom, experience, empathy, and ability to make it happen at least partially. There will be two re-elections for senators in Georgia in January. If the two Democratic candidates can be added to the Senate, that will make progress easier. As a Californian, I can’t vote in the Georgia election, but I have contributed to the campaigns of the Democratic Senate candidates. However those elections turn out, Joe Biden is the person for the job to bring America back to reality, sanity, empathy, and honesty.
During the year 2020, I have devoted this blog with
increasing frequency to American politics because the election has been
existential for America. Now that the election is mostly behind us, perhaps the
frequency will decrease depending on what happens. I will continue to include comments
on American politics in this blog because America is my country. I was born
here and have lived here all my life. But I will balance it with a return to the
original purpose of this blog, to discuss religion, particularly Judaism, and
to discuss topics of interest concerning my fellow Jews all over the world, the
40% who live here in America, the 40% who live in Israel, and the 20% who live
everywhere else.
