Having been out of mom’s basement for over 40 years now, I must say I’m enjoying the freedom of the COVID vaccines. Instead of listening to crackpots like Joe Rogan, Lin Wood, and Alex Jones, I took advantage of Biden’s vaccine program instead of jumping on the horse medicine bandwagon, and so far, so good. On the other hand, if those Trump-loving insurrectionists had stayed in their mom’s basement instead of going to the Jan. 6 riot, they wouldn’t be in the slammer now. So I guess it depends on the individual.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz is leading an attack on, of all “people,” Big Bird! He and a slew of other radical conservatives are accusing the avian celebrity of spreading “propaganda” and “lies” and being “evil.” For what? Encouraging the vaccination of those between ages 5 and 11. These are very sick people, and there is no vaccine for their brand of sickness.
The typical liberal hates Trump and gags at the thought of getting job. A few get confused and stumble over their words. Usually from smoking too much MJ or just plain denial! Kind of like Aaron Rodgers and his vaccine shots. He lied, but lives in denial!!
Well, your wait is over. Here are just some of the great things Sleepy Joe has done since January 20. Wages up 9.49%, unemployment down 38.46%, Gross Domestic Product up over 100% and consumer spending up 10%.
You ask what has Joe done? I’ll try not to make this too long. He has rolled out a successful vaccine program. Rejoined the Paris Climate Accord. Actually got an infrastructure bill through Congress. He has the foresight to realize our dependence on oil and coal is harming our planet and rolled back Trump’s assault on our air and waters. He has not lied on a daily basis. He surrounds himself with a cross-section of people of all colors. Our National Parks are important again. He finally got us out of Afghanistan and does not disparage members of our military. He values our intelligence agencies over Putin. All of this in only 10 months.
A Quickly writer has challenged us to share the great things Biden has done. The writer is inferring that Biden has done little or nothing. I could write a full page, starting with the stimulus, foreign relationships, bipartisan efforts, telling the truth, hiring a competent cabinet and advisors, avoiding corruption and corrupt associates, and of course just recently pushing through a massive infrastructure bill! I could say much more along this line; however, there is one accomplishment that is perhaps one of the greatest ever performed. Biden is making every effort possible to reconnect migrant children with their parents and families. My religious faith tells me taking good care of our children, treating them with respect and providing them with a wholesome lifestyle can be among one of the best gifts we can offer humanity here on this earth! Efforts to separate them from their parents and families as the Trump administration did can be one of the worst. Remember, “Children are like wet cement, whatever falls on them makes an impression!” Biden understands this. His efforts to reconnect the children should be celebrated! By the way, please kiss the precious little babies every night even if they are already sleep.
Notice the ear to ear grins on Nancy and Joe after they got their infrastructure bill passed? That’s the same grin the rest of us would show if we had a 50% boost to our pension.
It’s going to be sickening to hear Indiana’s Magnificent Seven Republican House members crowing about funds coming to Indiana due to the infrastructure bill, after all seven of them voted against it.
I notice that none of our state’s Republican representatives voted in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure bill that would create thousands of Indiana jobs and rebuild our crumbling roads and bridges as well as extend broadband internet to the mostly Republican rural areas. It’s nice to know that they think so little of our citizens that they would fail to vote in favor of a law that benefits everyone.
So now the big infrastructure bill passed, in the near future when you drive over new roads or safety cross bridges that have been upgraded you can thank all those who voted for it NOT THE 200 REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED AGAINST IT! Remember that at the next election if you have any brains at all.
With all of the exemptions being tolerated for COVID-19 vaccine shots by corrupt and ignorant people, we will never be rid of this virus. It is more than corrupt Obama era judges holding our nation back. It is ignorant people refusing to get vaccinated.
“Expanding already absurd 2nd amendment rights?” With the current political state of our country, you should be grateful there are plenty of folks that would defend our country, against threats, both foreign and domestic. Do a little historical research, you buffoon.
Why is it so hard to understand the law? Lawyers argue that some laws mean different things. Why not write the law in a third grade level so anyone can understand what the law means. We might not even need lawyers to explain the law when they themselves do not understand what is written.
