As I write this Joe Biden has won the undemocratic election. In this case the Electoral College winner also won the popular vote. How the country will be January 20 when he takes over is unknown, but I am sure it will be even more divisive and Covid 19 will be killing two or three thousand each day.

            Former Ohio Governor Tom Kasich, a moderate Republican, said Biden must try to unite the country by listening to the rural people who voted for Trump. His number one domestic priority must be to unite us while starting to actually win the virus battle.

            Biden’s number two priorities must begin with his crucial first phone call to a leader of a foreign country or organization. Trump has destroyed our relationships with every country we had been friends with and developed friendships with our enemies. This may be more difficult than uniting us. Four years ago we were the country people still looked to for world safety and stability. We were the reason NATO had kept the peace in Europe. We kept the peace in Central and South America. We were the bulwark in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Philippines, and Japan.

            Biden will have to change the President of the United States from the laughing stock the rest of the World thinks to one who is a trustworthy and reliable friend or enemy.

            Both priorities will be extremely difficult and I hope he can accomplish both.
