Thank you for your opinion article, “The usual suspects?” (Shredder, March 7). I usually appreciate your satirical spin and acerbic wit on the issues of the day. However, I don’t agree with your portrayal of President Joe Biden as “Bumbling Joe.”
I wrote him a letter early last year with regard to our current threat to democracy and the attempted coup of Jan. 6, 2021. I sent him copies of excerpts from The FBI Story as published in 1957, which indicates that our country’s balance of power would never allow a tyrant to take over our country, as there were too many checks and balances in place. In order for our nation to fall, our justice system, for example would need to be wielded as a political cudgel against our enemies foreign and domestic, both real and perceived. Since that story was written, dangerous changes have occurred including the Supreme Court’s decision to evaluate former President Trump’s case regarding absolute immunity from prosecution over acts committed while he was president.
President Biden answered my letter and agreed with me that those who would seek to illegally interfere with the peaceful transfer of power to a duly elected president of the United States of America must be stopped. I was very impressed with President Biden’s State of the Union address and believe that that version of Biden can successfully save our democracy and freedoms that two out of five Americans seem to take for granted based on voting statistics concerning general election participation.
President Biden has the experience and determination to see our country through our present challenges and beyond. Please consider that he is devoting his life’s energy to make the future better for us all.

Joe Biden and his policies have caused our America to go down the tubs. Economy, Inflation, Mortgage Rates, Gasoline, Groceries, all way up since January 2021. The Middle Class and Poor have financially suffered the most. President Biden can’t remember from one day to the next. He is a figurehead, nothing more, and the worse president in modern history. The MSM covers for him on a daily basis. Recent Congressional Hearings have exposed details of the Afghanistan pull-out debacle and the continued racketeering investigation’s of the Biden family. The border situation is disgusting! The Commander-in Chief is responsible to uphold the laws of the land. He failed! Joe is even flying illegal migrants into our country, over 300 thousand so far. All of this and many more. The President is week on the world stage. Now we have wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. All could have been prevented with a strong leader. And all the left pounds down our throats is how dangerous Donald J. Trump is? Threats to democracy? Ill, say the media is very powerful to ingrain such horse dung on the American people. We must guard ourselves against listening to only one side of the coin. Take the time to read and listen to both sides. Avoid the spin and smear news! As Paul Harvey used to say, “The Rest Of The Story”. Good Day……
The Bidens didn’t share any Chinese bribe money (targetted to get Westinghouse’s compact nuclear plant design) with granddaughter Navy Joan Roberts. Why exclude the new granddaughter from your a grift while paying other granddaughters? Unequal treatment is the Biden’s norm at home and for the citizens.
That old fart can’t see his way down stairs.
