Letter to the editor: Be afraid, America
The CNN presidential debate revealed Joe Biden to be similar to Captain Pike in the 1966 pilot episode of “Star Trek.” In the episode, the Starship Enterprise investigated a far-off planet only to encounter telepathic aliens who sought a human male specimen for their menagerie.
Captain Pike became incapacitated and mute, but was fitted with a light to respond to “yes” or “no” questions.
When most men his age have their family take away the car keys, Biden retains the keys to most of the world’s nuclear weapons.
If you thought this sci-fi drama could not get any worse, the April edition of Newsweek (not known as a pro- MAGA publication) stated: “Newsweek reached out to more than 26 Democrat senators to speak on the record about (Vice President Kamala) Harris. Not one accepted the invitation.” (page 70). The conclusion? Harris is not adequate to the task (vice president). Perhaps Harris can be fitted with a light to answer “yes” or “no” questions.
Of late, I often hear the words of my maternal grandfather: “I am glad I am old and getting ready to die.”
Be afraid America, be very afraid.
