I do pity him. I pity our country, too. We have a poor, feeble, mentally incompetent man for president and a totally incompetent whore for vice-president. I will never understand why anyone with a braid voted for them. This speaks volumes:
It is said that his notes have the seats numbered and named so he can remember the names he calls on and knows which ones are safe to call upon. He certainly doesn't want to call on a representative of NewsMax, Tim Poole, or even many members of Fox News. Even the Aussies would give him a real hard time.
Biden said that he gave Putin 16 sites that were “off limits” for attacks by cyber hacks. Now, let me get this straight. If I wanted to protect certain sites I certainly wouldn’t point them out so a potential enemy could concentrate their efforts on them. It’s a given that Putin already knows those sites like a boxer knows the weaknesses of his adversary but the adversary never verifies it like our dear deranged national leader did. Biden may have looked Putin in the eyes and saw “no soul” but I have a funny feeling that Putin looked into Biden’s eyes and saw no brain.
Biden has made Juneteenth a Federal holiday! His announcement lubed us up for more spending ("still a lot to do to rectify...")
Congress actually passed that one under pressure from the BLM people. It will cost the American government millions if not billions in additional holiday pay and paid time off for Federal employees. That is why when MLK Day was declared in 1984, Washington's Birthday was changed to Presidents' Day and Lincoln's Birthday was cancelled. This is the first new Federal Holiday since Veteran's Day in 1919 (I think). To top it off, it will be called National Independence Day, which will confuse everything regarding July 4th, Independence Day.
Doesn’t every 3rd world country have at least 2 independence days in their history? I mean, if things keep going the way they are we could have a couple more before Biden leaves office. National Gay Freedom Day, National Trans Day, National Epstein Day, Soros’ Birthday, ….
Likely true, yes, but I think a lot of officials or spokespersons when speaking to tv or an audience use the same devices. I know on the spy shows a lot of military and security and spy teams use earpieces too, but they are not 'speaking' or making a speach usually, just communication that's needed at the moment.
Wow - I don't remember ever hearing of or about juneteenth at all, anywhere. So I looked it up - "Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond." Was it actually nationally celebrated in past decades, like 1950's thru 2000 ?
No, I don't think it was celebrated nationally. I had never heard of it until I saw a notice for a celebration in Anchorage, and I have lived in many areas of the nation. I suspect it has been held in the hearts of black folks nationwide perhaps.
I don't think it has ever been widely celebrated, nor do I think most people have any idea what most holidays are really about, whether or not those holidays are ethnic-specific and whether or not you are a target audience. For someone to say that this "has spread across the United States and beyond" is engaging in hyperbole of the highest order.
To me, it’s like Kwanza. I never heard of a “June teenth” until a couple of years ago just like I hadn’t ever heard of Kwanza until maybe around the late 80’s or 90’s. I caught a short glimpse of an article that said there was a statue of George Floyd being erected so my take on the whole of it is that after the last elections every left wing vote farmer is out there with yet another idea on how to harvest a larger crop of black voters. If anyone really thinks that Biden has suddenly turned into a champion for the black race they haven’t looked one second at his background nor that of the rest of his crew. If he has then it’s another Larry Flynt or George Wallace transformation in that the changes made good headlines but in the back rooms nothing had changed.
Kwanza is the fabrication of a black activist who chairs the African Studies Department of some university on the west coast...it's not an historical event or even a true tradition. Gotta love how new holidays are enacted as statues and other parts of history get torn down. Sure happened fast, huh? And with the blessing of politicians nationwide, at all levels. Divide & conquer...and control.
If Joe Biden wasn't president, his friends and family members would be thinking that it might be best to place him in a home. No one would want him driving, and people would worry that he isn't capable of caring for himself.
