President Biden

      There is a palpable feeling of lightness in the air. It feels for the first time in a long time that there is a quiet in the public realm. No reporting of what the president said today on Twitter makes for a much needed calm. Perhaps journalism will return to its roots and simply describe what is going on, instead of taking sides and reporting the outlandish statements coming out of our federal government.

     We have a chance for a new beginning. Our 46th President was sworn in without a hitch, as was our first female Vice-President. This is a time for looking forward with hope and not backward with a longing for a past that wasn't so great as it might have seemed.

    

 

     Let's give the new administration the benefit of the doubt at first. Our problems are greater than they can solve on their own. We must all do our part to contain the virus, get the vaccination when it becomes available, and, above all, remain hopeful. Believe in the truth that "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
