This letter from me was published today in the Capital Times in Madison, Wisconsin.
“Several years ago, I traveled to six Native American reservations in the Puget Sound area. I had the opportunity to meet with some of the tribal elders. I asked them what it is that makes an older person an “elder.”
They explained to me that age is a factor in qualifying to be an elder, but wisdom is also necessary. Age and wisdom are not synonymous. Part of this required wisdom is the ability to place the needs of the community before personal gain.
I think about what the tribal leaders told me when I read about the presidential competition between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. As far as I can see, both men are driven by raw ambition. They attempt to cling to power despite the fact that younger and more capable individuals can take leadership.
Biden and Trump are not primarily concerned about the needs of our country. They are not elders. They are old, but not wise.”
Frank is Emptiness 
I certainly believe you are correct it your assertions with respect to these two. The question that I am even more concerned about is, “What will WE Americans do about it?” It sickens me each day to see how far we have fallen and there is virtually no respite or Hope on the horizon. As for me, I continue to pray for our fallen once much greater country and will not support either of these buffoons!
