To the editor: Et tu, Robin Abcarian (“America was gaslit by the conceitedness of Joe Biden and his enablers,” Could 18)? Let’s be sincere and really clear. There may be not a broadcast line or second of videotape the place Joe Biden “promised” to be a one-term president and to say so is inaccurate. Sure, in the course of the 2020 marketing campaign, he stated he noticed himself “as a transition candidate” — a “bridge” if you’ll — and are available 2024, he noticed himself as midway throughout that bridge, wanting to complete the work begun by maybe essentially the most consequential one-term presidency in historical past. That time period noticed greater than 16.5 million jobs created or recovered, the bottom unemployment in many years, worldwide status restored, NATO revitalized, the Assad regime fallen and a powerhouse economic system structured to roar via the last decade, constructed round bettering infrastructure and attacking world warming.
It’s honest to debate his option to run once more, however the “conceitedness” is in accusing him of claiming one thing he’s by no means stated.

To the editor: Most People might see with their eyes and listen to with their ears that one thing was terribly flawed with President Biden. The media fortunately went together with the apparent lie that was being informed to them by his administration.
Nobody is aware of what hurt this blatant deceit has precipitated our nation and different components of the world. If the press is critical about being lied to, it needs to be trying into who was actually making the selections that have been popping out of the Oval Workplace.

To the editor: Abcarian’s column about Jake Tapper’s new guide “Authentic Sin” misses the important thing situation. Crucial factor to say about this guide is the central topic is greater than irrelevant now. The election is lengthy over, and rehashing the way it was misplaced does nothing aside from add to the smokescreen that tries to masks the insanity of our present administration.

To the editor: Abcarian asserts that Biden was cognitively impaired throughout his reelection marketing campaign. I noticed and was appalled by his debate efficiency, however I’ve additionally seen a number of interviews he did earlier than and after the tip of his time period. Other than his lifelong speech difficulties, he was articulate and coherent, in a position to tie present occasions and conditions to historic occasions and cogently focus on reasonable approaches.
Other than the talk, he hasn’t appeared impaired, in distinction to the present White Home occupant, who rambles incoherently, confuses occasions, will get misplaced in phrase salad and demonstrates whole ignorance and indifference to details and occasions.
