My Dear America:
Saturday Night, November 7th was a Spectacular Night in Wilmington, Delaware following a Spectacular Day in America. It was the kind of soft breezy summer night that Joe and Jill Biden loved when they walked along the Boardwalk of Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Those nights were special and so was this one. Joe and Jill Biden and Joe's New Political Sidekick, Kamala Harris and her husband were finally getting the chance to get on stage and savor and express thanks for the Victory that they had shared in the Election that took place on Tuesday Night, November 3rd across the United States of America.
Kamala came out on stage first wearing a Suffragette White Pants Suit and looking stunning. It was almost as if we hadn't noticed how gorgeous this woman was as she had flashed across our eyes and our lives in the past few years. When we saw her during the past couple of years she seemed to be either on the move with her dark hair flying or she was seated on the Senate Judiciary Committee or on the Presidential Debate Stage Kicking Ass in both cases. It was clear as a bell that this woman was no shrinking violet. She was every bit a Girly Girl when she was comfortable being one. But when a Trump Appointee or Official was trying to worm their way around the truth, the Experienced Prosecutor came to the forefront.
Indeed, No One was more aware of Kick Ass Kamala than Joe Biden. She made his first Democratic Presidential Debate Performance such a miserable experience that although it appeared as if although Kamala was the right choice for VP, It seemed unlikely that she would ever get the nod. But as we all found out Joe Biden was certainly a more forgiving and Smarter Presidential Candidate than Donald Trump and on this beautiful night in Wilmington, Joe's choice of Kamala Harris as his Vice President had paid off.
In her speech Kamala paid tribute to her own family, especially to her mother and to all women in history, but especially Black Women, who had become some of Kamala Harris's biggest fans and hardest workers in the Democratic Race. Like Joe Biden also would, Kamala Harris thanked all the Democratic Women who had gathered together in this Presidential Campaign to lift up Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to Victory over Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
When it came time for Joe Biden to give his speech he came running up the ramp not even appearing to be winded, as if he was saying take that, Donald Trump, you lumbering fool. Like Kamala, Joe Biden talked from the heart on Saturday Night. He reminded his audience that he remembered The devastating loss of his first wife and his daughter and the injuries to his sons in an automobile accident around Christmas time many years ago. He also remembered his son Beau, who like Kamala Harris, was also a state Attorney General (In Delaware) and was a friend of Kamala's. Joe knew how much his son admired and respected Kamala Harris when she was the Attorney General of California. Beau was gone now but he would never be forgotten by his father.
Both Kamala's and Joe's Speeches were filled with thanks to the Voters who had made it possible for the Networks to call the race for Joe and Kamala earlier in the day even though vote counting was still going on. Joe and Kamala successfully ignored the fact that the current President of the United States was continuing to avoid facing the reality that he had lost the Presidential Election.
Throughout the celebration in the parking lot of the Chase Center in Wilmington the horns honked and the masks were on. Covid was still in the air and people were still dying from it. But the time would be soon that Joe and Kamala would be taking over the Federal Government and would not ridicule and disrespect people who wear masks and socially distance.
It was nighttime in Wilmington but clearly a new day was dawning in America and Americans could breathe a sigh of relief as Joe Biden made it clear that he would be governing with the knowledge that not everyone in America would initially be a Biden Supporter but he would try his best to reach out to Trump Supporters in his Administration. They might be Trump Supporters but We are all Americans Joe Biden clearly said.
After the speeches Kamala and her blended family came out and joined with the Biden Family on the stage. It looked to me as though what Joe Biden had said was true. Kamala and her family and the Biden Family were now one big happy Family.
Unity was not everywhere in the united States but as the Drones spelled out Biden over the crowd and the fireworks were set off there was at least Unity on the stage and in the parking lot of the Chase Center.
Hell, at least Unity had a start here in Wilmington, Delaware.
Maybe it was a concept that would catch on.
One could hope anyway that unity would start here on this beautiful night and continue on all across the country catching every American in its wake.
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
