No, Biden is not a good President.While I will not diagnose him from TV appearances, and I am not a medical professional, I do believe he is in some sort of cognitive decline that makes him personally less capable of successfully performing as President. I am basing this opinion on experience working with several people, not all relatives, that suffered from various forms of dementia.
Biden has always exaggerated and been caught in lies like so many politicians. And he has long been made for making all sorts of audible gaffs and exhibiting odd behaviors. However in the last few years, the lack of concentration and exponential increase in saying wrong things and publicly speaking in rambling threads are all things that lead me to believe he likely can't perform in the office for which he was elected.
I think his leadership in policy and foreign affairs has weakened national security, our economy, and has done nothing to reduce the divisiveness among people and legislators; and as such leaves us with a feckless congress as well.
An unsustainable problem fiscally and for national security Reports come out about quarterly reporting the number of violent criminals and watch list persons slip right through the porous borders.
Firearms and drug trafficking
Rape, assault, and human trafficking of children and adults
All those flourish in the petri dish of unenforced and porous borders. Simply illustration is keeping lockers locked to keep honest people honest; leave it open, and there are plenty that will exploit and help themselves to the contents.
Failure to address the boarders is really an act against children and women so easily exploited, and against others that get killed and dumped in the desert crossings.
The unsustainable financial burden is another lengthy topic directly related to the border crisis.
Ice cream of course.
The issue is more nuanced. There is a difference between organized activity in support of prayer VS accommodations to allow persons of any faith the opportunity to briefly adhere to the tenets of that faith (exp a room for a muslim student to roll out his or her prayer rug for the ritual prayers; a set aside time for protestants to conduct personal prayers, and equal opportunity for an atheist to meditate on their anti-divinity beliefs if they show choose, etc)Nowadays, so many seek to be offended and/or enforce their views on others that schools must be cautious how the opportunities above are uniformly offered to all. Most of the time when MSM exploits a story and one digs a little deeper, its when there has been potential for undue influences from people in positionally authoritative roles, sometimes without realizing it, develops a situation where someone feels pressured to join or be ostracized. case in point was the HS football team (TX I think) that had the coach leading a tradition of a prayer circle on the field before games.
Coach had positional authority, some that would have otherwise stood silently and not joined in felt pressure given the circle was so public. Far different than a pre-game prayer in the locker room where the team is reinforced with a moment of mindfulness, be it through participating in a prayer or using the moment for silent reflection if that is the players choice. The latter example never becomes a blown out of proportion issue in part because of the setting VS the first example.
