     For years I have been chagrined that the only Pennsylvanian who occupied the White House was the one who did absolutely nothing to prevent the Civil War. The article linked above says it all; James Buchanan understood other countries better than he did his own.

     As for soon-to-leave, never-to-concede Donald Trump: he does not merit further discussion. 

     Joe Biden spent about ten years in his native Scranton, PA. After moving to Delaware, where his father went to seek employment, Joe visited the area often. My family lived in an adjacent county to Scranton for over a dozen years, and we know what he is made of. And's good enough for us!

    Time to make some history, Joe! and you certainly can improve over these two predecessors.
