Last week, a ninety-two-year-old media titan agreed to pay out a $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems on behalf of his network Fox News. This week, an eighty-year-old Democratic president will announce that he is running for re-election next year, even though polls suggest 70 percent of Americans don’t want him to. Joe Biden will probably end up facing the seventy-six-year-old Donald Trump, the man at the heart of that Fox/Dominion defamation. Welcome to America, the land where dinosaurs rule.

President Biden spent the weekend at Camp David running through his re-election agenda. His video campaign announcement will reportedly air Tuesday, kickstarting another nineteen months of unpleasant speculation about his health and fitness for high office. If Biden wins next year, and assuming he doesn’t die or become so incapacitated he has to resign, he will be eighty-five by the time he leaves the White House. This is not a trifling matter.
