Joe Biden has redefined mask wearing. It is now the thinking man’s patriotism, what every “scientific” and “refined” mind naturally does.
Biden, the media, and the progressive party all blame the now ill Trump for becoming infected. They accuse the president of becoming sick because he was selfish. You see, he was not always wearing a mask, or not always isolating in social-distancing fashion, or not always staying inside except for essential expeditionary trips.
Upon reading these condemnations, one could be forgiven for thinking Trump was the mayor of Fresno, not the president of the most powerful and necessary nation in history.

The last best conservative left at National Review. VDH is superb, and this is one of his best essays.

A very interesting (VDH) perspective as usual.
Final paragraph ... In other words, Trump is now one with the millions who do the same thing, every day and thereby keep the country functioning—so often for others who haven’t got a clue about how or why they do so at all.
Better news ... The millions are one with him and are already ling up to vote.

All I could say after reading this was WOW! VDH certainly hit the nail on the head with this article. The President, like all other ESSENTIAL WORKERS does not have the luxury of hiding in their basement like Joe Biden. Pandemic or not, the President still has to do his job, in public, and interact with the public. It's easy to stay safely quarantined and be able to all of your work remotely and criticize those who can't. Its a lot harder to actually have to practice all of the safety protocols that have become expected of those who must work with the public (whether they are effective/realistic or not) and effectively do your job while adhering to these restraints. Try wearing a face muzzle all day and talking to people or working in a hot factory. It seems that the people who are able to stay the most "safe" hiding at home are the most vocal and critical of anyone who dares to question the necessity or wisdom of the overkill of some of the safety protocols. Covid has become a cult with a strong control over it's followers.

So, if Biden gets Covid, did he bring it on himself (as they said about Trump)? Biden probably sleeps with his Mask on! If he gets it, I will be interesting how he, and his staff, explain how that happened!

Exactly. What Trump has shown is that of all the civilian government workers, the President is indeed one of our "essential workers." And what Pelosi has shown is that she and Congress are not. She can go get her hair done and munch yummy expensive chocolate ice cream, and the country gets along just fine without her. Better even.
This President definitely is essential.

VDH is always a must reads. He definitely nailed it with this article. If I had a magic wand, I’d make every American read this. He was also on Tucker’s show last night, and he packs so much good information in a short amount of time, better than anyone out there. Biden cannot win this election.

What about the doctor who was only 28 , caught the virus and she died. Some assume she wore the same mask for weeks on end, but only she knew what she was using.

There is a big difference between Joseph Biden who has no responsibility for anything that is going on in the world who can hide in his basement and Monday morning quarterback across the board, and President Trump who besides being the President, is the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces, Trump has the responsibility to keep the country safe and try to lead the country back into a sense of normality. To do that Trump has had to take chances in order to carry out his Presidential functions. If the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces was hiding in his basement how could he go on ordering the military to risk their lives in very dangerous places? With Trump, America’s enemies know that they are dealing with a genuine Junkyard Dog who will defend America no matter what, and that if Trump ever goes to war it will be to win, and that he will not get stuck using the old DC and liberal Democrat tactic of involving America in a foreign war and then allowing that mission to turn into a stalemate with members of the American military being killed and wounded indefinitely with no end. Obama-Biden showed that they have no guts by allowing ISIS to take over a huge portion of Iraq and Syria kidnapping and murdering Americans with little or no response from Obama-Biden. But once Trump took office, he ordered the US military to wipe out ISIS completely and take out the ISIS leadership and that was done. Notice that after Trump had the US military take out the top Iranian terrorist who was also their leading General who had killed and wounded hundreds of American military members, that the Leftist Democrats told the nation that Trump was starting World War Three, but the opposite happened, and the Iranians have been really quite obviously not wanting to a chance in messing with Trump. Biden would never take such effective military action, and was even against the US Navy SEALS taking out Osama bin Ladin who was responsible for the murders of over 3,000 Americans during the 9/11 attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and in Washington, DC. As I said, there is a big Difference between Biden and Trump.

Logically and ethically brilliant, and, as usual, very well said.
VDH is a treasure.

Insightful & thought provoking per usual Hanson. This is what really struck me FTA: ...in his usual clumsy racialist fashion, at last confessed that his own half-year sequestration kept him safe only because, “some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf.” (Biden) accidentally stumbled upon a truth here. Biden really doesn’t take risks, because he assumes that others less privileged will take them on his behalf.
