Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up & His Disastrous Choice to Run Again
New York: Penguin Press, 2025

Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. Deuteronomy 34:7

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Psalm 90:10
