King Charles III has his work cut out for him as No. 10 Downing Street acquires a new resident.
Politics have moved beyond a simmer to a rolling boil -- on both sides of the pond. Once upon a time -- back in the 18th century -- discussions were held over whether George Washington should be known as King George I. The decision was made that he should be known as President Washington. Was it a good decision to skip the royal rank and have government begin with the American equivalent to prime minister?
The answer to that question seems to change with the weather. On occasion, one has to wonder whether life would be kinder and gentler if America had a royal to temper the goings on, on Capitol Hill. Of late, it has seemed that not even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been able to keep the lid on the UK's political teapot.
Will King Charles III be able to turn down the heat? We hope and pray so, just as we continue to hope and pray that the American voters and their representatives will be able to turn down the heat under their political coffee pot.
God bless Great Britain's new king, and God bless America. Something tells me the world is going to need strong leadership from both in the coming years.
Be well, be happy, be safe. Keep the faith! Keep the peace!
