The Day after SOTU

 Biden put on a good performance in his State of the Union address.  He said about what I expected, including in those last seconds of the speech in which he vowed to conquer cancer.  

Well, every president in my now lengthy memory of the office has promised that.  So, the question remains: How do we weigh the damage we have contributed to in Gaza against the prospects of success in Biden's agenda, and the obvious threat of allowing Trump back into office?  It is clearly a complex computation.  

For instance:

 5 people killed in Gaza as aid package parachute fails to deploy

Eight months to go.

I heard one of the pundits after Biden's speech referring to protestors wanting an immediate ceasefire as "one issue" voters.  I disagree.  Thirty thousand dead are thirty thousand issues.
