Jo Biden was just diagnosed with aggressive cancer. 1. F*ck you to all the vultures who have fixated on his health while ignoring both Trump's current mental condition and dismembering of democracy. 2. Even at 50% capacity, Biden was 100 times the President Trump will ever be.
President Biden is a man of deep faith and extraordinary resilience. Chasten and I are keeping him, and the entire Biden family, in our prayers for strength and healing.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. The Biden I remember from those days always seemed to enjoy the give and take with reporters. Of course, he wanted to be president. But he sat out the 2016 campaign after losing his son Beau to cancer. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campai…

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
I liked today's article about the Budapest agreement. However, there was no mention of NATO. It ds my understanding (which could be incorrect) that the US provoked the conflict by pushing Ukraine to join NATO. This was perceived as the last straw by Putin since Nato was crearly boxing in Russia on its European borders. While Ukraine has the autonomy to decide whether or not to join Nato or the EU or any other group of its choosing, NATO is primarily a military not economic organization, so obvi…
There was no treaty agreement vis-a-vis NATO. The development of Russia into a representative and somewhat democratic society was expected in the 1980s, and perverted in the 1990s. And then Putin shows up. Things changed. NO treaty held that Ukraine or any of the former Soviet satellites could not join NATO.
Putin invaded Crimea, and the US and Great Britain did NOT honor the Budapest Memorandum -- you read the info from Thom, right, David?
Putin makes no secret of his desire to reconstitute the …
Correct Pat, Putin also invaded north Georgia, and Georgia is now led by a Putin Asset, But the blame for giving Putin motivation to invade Georgia and Ukraine can be laid in the lap of , sorry to say, Obama who sat back and did nothing. Question is why? I really want to know, but also know that I never will, always the three C's.
Cowardly, corrupt, complicit.
Many are now realizing Obama really was a largely do-nothing president. We can say though that he was eloquent and smart, and he was a steady beacon when our right wing nightmare was picking up steam, before that freight train hit us head on exactly one month ago.
Agreed. My wife called him Martin Luther Obama. He talked a good talk but did little.
Obama was certainly a talker. However, I think he was not a particularly good negotiator. His biggest accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act, could have been much better if he hadn’t always tried to meet the opposition halfway before negotiations began. I think your wife may not have as exalted opinion of Martin Luther King’s actions, as opposed to his words. That seems to ignore the great actions he undertook for both racial and labor causes. I would also think Obama would NOT be upset, but r…
It wasn’t meant as flattery but as recognition of his being all talk. MLK on the other hand backed up his words with action.
