HELLO BIDEN this is your time in history & the free world move (NOW). NATO move in (now) before the air defences comes in.
Putin has called the bluff on the threat to the world to take Ukraine & has been dealt a bad card from Ukraine. He has come to his senses now the the sanctions are biting & he is more worried about his money & the people rising up a coup. You know like his partner & buddy Trump tried. Make the move now.
It's time Biden you have the power to show the world that this will not stand & make history.
Save UKRAINE BRAVO TO YOUR PEOPLE & COUNTRY 🇺🇦
Mainstream media. What a waste of time and space.
Support Legislation in NJ S1551 and NY A8546 to BAN COURT ORDERED RAPE..
Was this a campaign speech or a SOTU? 🤔
Stimulus check is what I heard. How much this time
Dear God, the leaders we have!
I mean look at them and ask yourself is this leadership.
They and powerful behind live in totally different universe.
Screw previous installment too, they work for same masters as well, just different package.
Screw Putin, Ukrainian politicians, Eu, NATO and our leaders and especially screw people for being such a sheeps(including myself).
This is the best you can do?
Innocent people always day for a greed and power of few.
Pathetic democrat shills.
Did you noticed , Biden let a fart and they all stood up an applauded .!!! Crazy Nancy rubbed her fist together because she got to smell it….
I was amazed how well his mouth was moving in synch with the preprogramed computer voice, lol.
“Putin can encircle the city of Kiev, but he can never win over the hearts of the Iranian people.” Joe Biden, 2022
People shakes hands. Doesn't mean nothing. Appearances are everything…
Every time Biden opens his mouth there’s either an ice cream cone being licked like a gay porn scene, or total BS coming out of it. What a cocky a-hole🍦💩
WHERE WARS ARE WON OR LOST *
Wars are waged by older men
In battle rooms in countries apart.
Who call for greater firepower
And troops for the combat chart.
While out among the shattered flesh
The dreams of all have turned gray.
So young and determined their faces were
Till on the battlefield they lay.
Unable to overcome their pride
The politicians cast their vote.
For this or that or something else
As the rage of war sounds its note.
Wherever wars are won or lost
The soldiers fall like toys.
Down through history it remains the same
Most who die are hardly more than boys.
Like monkeys in a revolving cage
Man squabbles for the peanuts of power.
When will we rise above our greed
And become as a beautiful flower?
Death to death, dust to dust
The wrath of war is a hideous crime.
It’s our beast within that still prevails
As it has through the torments of time.

AP FACT CHECK: Biden’s State of Union is off on guns, EVs
Liar and Chief!
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden related a faulty Democratic talking point about guns in his first State of the Union speech, made his plan on electric vehicles sound more advanced than it is and inflated the sweep of his infrastructure package. On several fronts, he presented ambitions as achievements.
A look at some of his claims Tuesday night and a glance at the Republican response:
COVID-19
BIDEN: “Severe cases are down to a level not seen since July of last year.”
THE FACTS: Biden overstated the improvement, omitting a statistic that remains a worrisome marker of the toll from COVID-19.
While hospitalizations indeed are down from last summer, deaths remain high. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID tracker shows 289 deaths on July 1, 2021. This past Monday the CDC tracker reported 1,985 deaths.

GUNS
BIDEN, asking Congress to pass measures he said would reduce gun violence: “Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued, the only one.”
THE FACTS: That’s false. While gun manufacturers do have legal protections from being held liable for injuries caused by criminal misuse of their weapons thanks to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, they are not exempt or immune from being sued.
The law lays out exceptions where manufacturers or dealers can be held liable for damages their weapons cause, such as defects or damages in the design of the gun, negligence, or breach of contract or warranty regarding the purchase of a gun.
Families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, sued gun maker Remington, alleging “wrongful marketing” of firearms, and last month agreed to a $73 million settlement.
_
ECONOMY
BIDEN, promoting his $1 trillion infrastructure law: “We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks. We’re now talking about an infrastructure decade. … We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.”
THE FACTS: Not so fast.
The bipartisan legislation approved by Congress ended up providing just half of the $15 billion that Biden had envisioned to fulfill a campaign promise of 500,000 charging stations by 2030.
Biden’s Build Back Better proposal aimed to fill the gap by adding back billions to pay for charging stations. But Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in December declared that bill dead in its present form due to cost.
Administration officials now say the infrastructure law will help “pave” the way for up to 500,000 charging outlets by 2030. That’s different than charging stations, which could have several outlets. They say private investments could help fill the gap. Currently there are over 100,000 EV outlets in the U.S.
The Transportation Department’s plan asks states to build a nationwide network of EV charging stations that would place new or upgraded ones every 50 miles along interstate highways. The $5 billion in federal money over five years relies on cooperation from sprawling rural communities in the U.S., which are less likely to own EVs due to their typically higher price.
States are expected to start construction as early as fall.

BIDEN, on Intel’s plans for new factories in central Ohio: “Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place, 10,000 new jobs.”
THE FACTS: His statement is premature. That many factories are not imminent and may or may not ever be built.
Earlier this year, Intel announced it would open two factories expected to employ 3,000 people. The other 7,000 positions the project is slated to create are temporary construction jobs. It is also planning a chip foundry business that makes chips designed by other firms. Construction is expected to start this year.
Intel has raised the possibility of constructing up to six more factories over the next decade, which could bring the total number of factory workers up to 10,000. But that is only a prospect, years away.

BIDEN: “The pandemic also disrupted the global supply chain … Look at cars last year. One third of all the inflation was because of automobile sales. There weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy. And guess what? Prices of automobiles went way up … And so we have a choice. One way to fight inflation is to drag down wages and make Americans poorer. I think I have a better idea to fight inflation. Lower your costs and not your wages. Folks, that means make more cars and semi conductors in America. More infrastructure and innovation in America. More goods moving faster and cheaper in America … Instead of relying on foreign supply chains let’s make it in America.”
THE FACTS: It’s dubious to suggest that more domestic manufacturing means less inflation.
Manufactured products made overseas, particularly in countries such as China or Mexico where wages are lower, are generally cheaper than U.S.-made goods.
Biden also places too much weight on supply chain disruptions from overseas as a factor in the worst inflation in four decades. Although those problems indeed have been a major factor in driving up costs, inflation is increasingly showing up in other areas, such as rents and restaurant meals, that reflect the rapid growth of the economy and wages in the past year and not a global supply bottleneck. Those trends are likely to keep pushing up prices even as supply chains recover.
INFRASTRUCTURE LAW
BIDEN on the infrastructure bill: “The single biggest investment in history was a bipartisan effort.”
THE FACTS: No, it wasn’t that historic.
Biden’s infrastructure bill was big, adding $550 billion in fresh spending on roads, bridges, and broadband Internet over five years. But measured as a proportion of the U.S. economy, it is slightly below the 1.36% of the nation’s gross domestic product that was spent on infrastructure, on average, during the first four years of the New Deal, according to an analysis by the Brookings Institution. It is even further below the roughly 2% spent on infrastructure in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

WWII & NOW %
As war is fought it takes charge
And events spin out of control.
The madness of men can alter the soil
which nourishes the roots of their soul.
Many things will forever change
Far more then wished to be.
As the wrath of war starts to destroy
Those things we fight to keep free.
War is the greatest plague of man,
Religion, state and sanity.
Any scourge is more preferred
Than the one which disables humanity.
When war breaks out, boundaries change
And all who die are a token
Of the rage that must run its course
Before words of peace are spoken.
It’s not a priest that gives us our freedom of religion
And it’s not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice.
It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, preacher or teacher
But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice.

Play the 3 stooges theme song.
Vote republican get this guy out. Trump 2024. From a former Democrat
Out of order, American people should have the respect that the Office deserves. I told you to leave the kids home.
Let’s go Brandon!!!!!
Western media has been dropping racist micro aggressions about how it's not Afghanistan or Syria and they are white people don't think we haven't been paying attention so I really don't care do you can we move on and let them work it out like we did last year with Israel and Palestine or Afghanistan or Syria or Somalia or indeginous communities across the globe. Just asking for us mixed and non white people.
COVID has left the chat- just in time for the November elections!
President Joe Biden delivered the best State of the Union speech since the State of the Union speech of President John F. Kennedy on January 30, 1961
This man has done nothing right so far. His speech was all bloated promises because there is no success to talk about.
“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people."
Enjoyable to watch ABC twisting itself into knots to rationalize its investment in the Biden-Harris administration. #Journalism2022
Why is the USA still buying Russian oil ?
"Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people."
I loved how the man who with a pen the first day in office effected 10% of the population who have diabetes (His words) by raising the price of insulin! How many patients did he harm because they could not afford the insulin as well as epipens !
He now have compassion? Come on man🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is how I felt about the speech, https://youtu.be/du41SsuWNkM
Dear God, please watch over the Audits, let the truth come out, and justice prevail, In Jesus' name!
I feel i may have been gas-lighted?
Biden is a joke and so is abc
Goodbye Ukraine. Its been nice knowing you. Thats the way everyone is acting.
