The first thing I do every morning is read the Victoria Advocate online. I stop at the obituaries and scroll through the names looking for someone familiar. When I find that name, I’ll read the entire article because more often than not I’ll come across something I didn’t know about them. I was just telling a group of friends it doesn’t surprise me because back then we didn’t brag. If a person is that good; someone else will parse their glory.

That leads me to why I like the approach this administration is taking.

I am more convinced today of how happy I am in my choice for president. I found and reposted a meme I found that describes Joe Biden: He doesn’t brag, whine, write crazy tweets, or participate in racist rhetoric.

Just last week his conference call with the governors did not include any fighting, just “we’ll get you what you need.” Some on the right took it to mean Biden was giving up. The right seems to forget that Trump used his task force TV appearances as a dog and pony show. Trump gave up on COVID-19 three months prior to the election and three months after. Even worse, his administration refused to cooperate with the incoming administration. That’s giving up.

Republicans have switched tactics since Trump was in office. They used to ignore Trump’s low approval numbers and praise the stock market. Today, they highlight Biden’s low approval numbers, ignore the booming stock market and good economic numbers.
