A Common Sense Presidency

We have a new President, and not a moment too soon. His reelection to the office of President is almost unprecedented and certainly historic. Congratulations, Donald John Trump, 45th and now 47th President of these United States of America.

It is very possible, dare I say likely, that today represents a turning, an inflection point in the arc of our nation's evolution. Not everyone will be happy with the new direction, but apparently a majority will be happy and that is good.

I have written that I hope we are embarking on an era of common sense governance, and I'm pleased to see others describing the new program as "common sense." Much of what was offensive about "woke" and "DEI" and "intersectionality" was that it flew in the face of common sense, required belief in strained concepts that asked us to disbelieve our eyes and our logic.
