By Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine - A few years ago, I noticed a certain frostiness (from my half-century friend). He would not answer my emails and would not pick up the phone. Eventually, he fessed up that it was Trump. Trump!... He said we might be able to be friends when Trump was gone... But, after Biden was elected, I reached out and discovered I was still in the deepfreeze... A few weeks ago, he said by email that the political times have sapped his enthusiasm for investing in our friendship. So, no, not yet. It does seem rather cruel; try again next year. I might renew our friendship then.
