This Thanksgiving Be Thankful For Biden

Am I the only person already tired of Democrats who say the Biden team is “boring”? The only word I’m looking for is GRATITUDE for competent non-criminal, non-con-artist, smart appointments. I suspect in the Trump years some Democrats got hooked on feelings of moral superiority. Get over it.

Dear Australians, Canadians, Danes, French, Germans, Britons, Swedes, Ukrainians, Haitians, the entire continent of Africa and everybody else Trump offended- we are so sorry and want you to please like us again! We elected a sane actual regular president! Please call!

Biden’s team: to a person, inordinately competent and extravagantly credentialed. Are we dreaming!? 

Biden’s team is a return to competence and cooperation. This should comfort all who don’t subscribe to “America First” isolationism or international conspiracy theories. Its called fact-based sanity. Get used to it. 

Normality: You won’t wake up to discover that Biden just threatened a nation’s destruction in an all-caps tweet. You might even be able to sleep in once in a while. 

The Biden Team in shorthand: the grown-ups are back in charge.

Here’s the real American story that was excluded under Trump: ‘My stepfather was saved from the Holocaust by an African-American GI’: Joe Biden’s secretary of state pick Tony Blinken said in extraordinary story of survival. He noted that this is ‘what America represents to the world.’ With Biden as president maybe American will find her true soul again.

Caught between the beauty of his grandchildren and grief over a friend’s death, Frank Schaeffer finds himself simultaneously believing and not believing in God—an atheist who prays. Schaeffer wrestles with faith and disbelief, sharing his innermost thoughts with a lyricism that only great writers of literary nonfiction achieve. Schaeffer writes as an imperfect son, husband and grandfather whose love for his family, art and life trumps the ugly theologies of an angry God and the atheist vision of a cold, meaningless universe. Schaeffer writes that only when we abandon our hunt for certainty do we become free to create beauty, give love and find peace. Available now at Amazon.

In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a bohemian novelist living in “Volvo driving, higher-education worshipping” Massachusetts with two children graduated from top universities. Then his youngest child, straight out of high school, joined the United States Marine Corps. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Frank, Keeping Faith takes readers in riveting fashion through a family’s experience of the Marine Corps: from being broken down and built back up on Parris Island (and being the parent of a child undergoing that experience), to the growth of both father and son and their separate reevaluations of what it means to serve. Available now at Amazon.
