Biden Jr. stood before the United Nations today and delivered the kind of speech Americans &#8212; and those around the world &#8212; hadn&#8217;t heard delivered from a U.S. president in some time.<\/p>\n<p>He spoke of diplomacy, of global warming, of human rights, of an end to U.S. warfare. President Biden delivered a reasoned, rationale, coherent speech to the U.N. General Assembly that was devoid of name-calling &#8212; such as &#8220;Little Rocket Man&#8221; &#8212; and some of the curious statements that would fly out of the mouth of Biden&#8217;s presidential predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, the current president has a heaping plate full of trouble. We have a refugee crisis on our southern border. We are still trying to finish extricating ourselves fully from Afghanistan. The nation is battling a COVID-19 pandemic that many of us thought was whipped four months ago.<\/p>\n<p>To hear the president&#8217;s tone, though, in a speech to the world&#8217;s No. 1 diplomatic body seems to signal a return to normal diplomatic procedure, the kind of thing he promised when he ran for president in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, President Biden is struggling at home. The political forces that keep digging in against him are fierce, determined and dogged in their effort to torpedo <em>everything<\/em> the wants to do.<\/p>\n<p>However, I remain determined to offer my support in the efforts this president is making to repair the wreckage left by his predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s speech at the U.N. took us another step toward that end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joseph R.
