I like unpredictability. And I like its cousin spontaneity.

As a Baby Boomer-New Yorker, I’ve always appreciated the raw and carefree freedom from restraint of the bus driver, milkman, the waitress at Carnegie Deli (now defunct), or the Good Humor man. It’s priceless the things they might say and do. And whether they’re brutally honest or wildly joyous, it’s always a new experience, a new adventure.

But there’s a limit to my tolerance of unpredictability. I don’t like it in my President. It’s worrisome, irritating, and dangerous.

I’ve never seen a more unpredictable human than Joe Biden.

From his wandering off, ignoring his Secret Service agents’ clear signaling to turn right through the hedges outside the White House and their hilarious readjustments to follow him through uncharted territory to something disconcerting he may say in a Zoom call with Putin, Biden never ceases to amaze.

He is so wildly unpredictable that one can imagine the stress and anxiety amongst his Secret Service detail, who are used to containing and securing the President’s every move and having the cooperation of a solid, mentally fit, and razor-sharp President like Trump. To go from Trump to Biden is an almost unbelievable transition from protecting a man who helps you protect him and makes it easy to a man who actually makes that protection much harder or impossible.

Of course, even his power-hungry wife, Nurse Jill, comes-a-running at important international meetings with foreign dignitaries, to take hold of his arm and recalculate his deranged Waze destination.

This guy is so obviously unaware of his surroundings and out-to-lunch cerebrally, that not only would it be impossible, unrewarding, and insanity-producing to write his speeches, protect his life, and make sure he doesn’t wander off mumbling to himself but imagine the glee and anticipation of Putin, Xi, Kim, and the evil mullahs in Iran have in negotiating and taking Biden and America to the cleaners. I can’t get the image of Dr. Evil rubbing his hands with glee, pinky to mouth, out of my mind.

The only thing left to do for terrified Americans is to pray. And pray hard, And pray long.
