Joe Biden’s short presidency has been defined by crisis after crisis. Everything he touches seems to break—gas prices, the economy, the southern border, Afghanistan, and even relations with allies have soured on his watch. Of course, it wasn’t supposed to be this way.

I fear the end of the American Republic and this great experiment. Not because of who is in charge, but because of who wants these people in charge. Each year, a handful of surfers are attacked by sharks. It’s sad, scary, and despite the astronomically low odds of it happening, is the reason why I
