To the editor:

After reading today’s Journal with pieces supporting Joe Biden (even though he won’t be president very long, and the radical left will have their way with the presidency), I am struck with the truth that I need to surrender. Life might get really difficult (remember, there were riots and looting on Obama’s watch, too) and all the good things that Trump did for people (in spite of four years of hatred and push-back) will be turned exactly opposite. It is only fair: that is what Trump did to Obama’s eight years. But I believe Trump’s work to save the tiniest human beings, open the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, build a robust economy by pulling down strangle-hold regulations, tell China and countries in Europe that they can’t take advantage of the U.S., and help people of all shades of brown be the best they can be, are major and honorable accomplishments.

Climate change was in the news, too. Pease check out a new book by Bjorn Lomborg: “False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet.” He says climate change is real, but it’s not the apocalyptic threat that we’ve been told it is. Lomborg claims “that projections of Earth’s imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies that hamper growth and crowd out more pressing investments in human capital, from immunization to education.”

Whatever the result of next Tuesday’s election, I pray it is a landslide. If the result is definitive, there might be less violence. Most of all, I remember that my security is in Jesus Christ, not in any president. This is what calms my heart after reading today’s news.
