I have always set that time frame as the bench mark of greatness for America. Sadly, Joe Biden has set a new bench mark as the lowest I have seen America. I can only pray that “We the People” can find another leader who can restore my faith in America and allow each of us to hold or head as high as we did with Ronald Reagan.
