Can the Biden administration continue “the tougher approach” with Hunter Biden’s China investment scandal lurking in the diplomatic and criminal background?

While this past year has provided many challenges, we have been thankful for the support and dedication of community members, faith-based organizations, local businesses, county commissioners, and our many partners for their cooperation and support this past year. Together we have accomplished a great deal.

President Biden can do his part to lower the temperature of our politics, and raise the tone, simply by not stirring the pot every day the way Trump did and by honoring the norms his predecessor cast aside. This won’t be transformative, but there actually might be some unity around the proposition that it will be a welcome change.

We should remember the past so we can learn from the past. We do not learn from the past by lionizing its wrongdoers, its traitors.

Presidents matter. Apparently, we needed a reminder. Sadly, we got one.

Poor Justin Trudeau. The Canadian prime minister must have been relieved to be done with President Donald Trump, only to learn that Joe Biden plans to tell Canada to pound sand as one of his first priorities.

How far we have come from the empty vow four years ago to bring back “beautiful, clean coal.” Closing that circle of false hope could actually be a good thing for coal country. Coal country can be saved. Coal cannot.

As President Trump leaves office, he will have time, but perhaps not much time given that his enemies seek to destroy his businesses and his chance for running again for any office, to contemplate what went wrong.

Trump leaves behind him an America in chaos, divisions deeper than living eyes have ever seen. But he was not Black. So one presumes you’re satisfied.
