Donkey & Elephant

President Biden had a debate, then an interview…, and now a letter. 

Writing to Congressional Democrats on Monday, the president unequivocally stated he’s staying in the race, citing a “deep obligation” to the voters who nominated him. He later called into the Morning Joe TV program and dared “the elites in the party” to challenge him at the convention. 

Later that day, the president’s doctor responded to reports that a Parkinson’s specialist visited the White House eight times, saying he is a “highly regarded neurologist” who is consulted as part of routine physicals.

In Republican news, the RNC released its official platform ahead of next week’s convention. The shorter-than-normal document largely mirrors former President Trump’s stances—it includes a focus on immigration and opposition to late-term abortion but does not call for a federal ban on abortion.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
During any election season, it’s easy to see the shortcomings of our opponents and cast ourselves in the right. When we find ourselves grumbling about others, we must remember to check our own hearts. 

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
Matthew 7:3-5 (CSB) (read full passage)
