In March 1968, President Lyndon Johnson announced to a shocked nation that he would not seek reelection. The nation was reeling from Vietnam, a tumultuous year of protests, and an overwhelming feeling of discontent that reached down into the heart and soul of America. A veteran of the U.S. Senate and a foreign policy expert in his own right, LBJ sensed he had lost the country and did the honorable thing by opting not to run again.

One cannot help but see the comparisons when we look at President Joe Biden and his first eight months in office. His handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal is the latest in a series of major setbacks that have resulted in a destitute America.
