So, let's give credit where credit is due. More often than not, I am critical of the Democrats for being cowardly and non strategic. I have to say that President Biden was especially strategic in the timing and choice of his release of Ms Griner from the grip of the evil Russians holding her hostage for the past several months.
1) He waited until after not only the midterms, but after winning the Georgia Senate seat, to release her and 2) no matter what he and the Democrats say, they know they cannot win a national election without Black voters, certainly not without Black women. Black Americans are their most loyal base. So of course they traded the Black woman prisoner ahead of the white male journalist.
I would imagine to some that seems unfair since he's been there for 4 years. Biden may be old but but he's no fool. He knows he will need the Black community to win and he fully intends to run in 2024. Call it playing to your base even if the Democrats refuse to acknowledge Black voters as their base. Now let's get our brother home too...
Dems can court all the other voters they want, the gay community, the Latino vote, white women voters, whoever but if Black people ever decide to sit out an election, the Democrats are toast and don't stand a chance of winning a national election. If only Black voters could learn to recognize, leverage and make demands using our untapped power, we would be a viable and unstoppable force for all to reckon with. Even the Dems fear that. Trust and believe they do...

I'm just glad our Sistah is home. I hope those evil Russians who played her as a pawn in their vicious game of roulette, didn't damage her spirit in any way.
But good job Democrats! Try to make this your normal stance. Grow a pair. Take chances. Be brave. Be strategic. Be leaders! Make us proud to call ourselves Democrat. Play to YOUR base! Those other folks with whom you are so occupied converting, are never gonna' support you anyway. Normal, straight thinking Americans, excepting the extreme left, are the majority in this country. Carry a big stick and walk like it! Take a detour from that "high road". Check the rear view mirror. No one traveling there but you...
Miss Higgi Says, Good Move President Biden!
