Kamala Harris knew Biden was unfit and led him to failure, now seizing his position. She's a ruthless, power-hungry individual willing to sacrifice America for her ambitions.

Guys, please vote on my polls for Biden and Harris. Trump is beating them. Please. I'd like to see more people's thoughts.

Thank you.

Well Dems, there goes Ohio. 👋

Also that vice presidential debate is going to be… 😬

I feel like there should somehow be a study on how people who consumed a lot of a certain type of heightened-reality, often-campy media growing up (I'm thinking daytime soaps, kdramas/cdramas, Bollywood cinema, telenovelas, old school romance novels) react to OTT fiction compared to how people who were not as fortunate in their youth

because you may read a book and go "it's legitimately ridiculous for the vice president to secretly sneak into a foreign country to rescue the kidnapped First Lady, his girlfriend, personally, I can't take this seriously" while I will read that same book and go "I mean............ what exactly were they supposed to do, he was the best guy for the job, Let Him Work, I'm crying right now"

Kennedy Jr. to announce his campaign’s vice presidential candidate in California

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would announce his independent presidential candidacy on March 26 in Oakland, California, his campaign announced on Tuesday.

Kennedy is making the early announcement due to ballot access rules in many states requiring independent candidates to name their vice presidential nominees before they can begin the process.

He told The New York Times this week that NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura are among the potential candidates.

Rodgers, the longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback, shares Kennedy’s distrust of vaccines and, like Kennedy, appears on podcasts regularly. Ventura, a former professional wrestler, shocked observers when he won the 1998 Minnesota governor’s race as an independent candidate.

Kennedy began his presidential campaign as a primary challenge to Democratic President Joe Biden, but later changed course and became an independent. Kennedy’s father was attorney general for the candidate’s uncle, President John F. Kennedy.

Just learned that there is no term limit for US vice presidents. Imagine if we somehow got the same guy every year. It’d be like having our own evil little grand vizier.

The United States had a 140 year period before a single woman was elected in a federal office.

I think it's only fair that we have 140 years of no men in government and see how things go

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #24

June 21-28 2024

The US Surgeon General declared for the first time ever, firearm violence a public health crisis. The nation's top doctor recommended the banning of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, the introduce universal background checks for purchasing guns, regulate the industry, pass laws that would restrict their use in public spaces and penalize people who fail to safely store their weapons. President Trump dismissed Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy in 2017 in part for his criticism of guns before his time in government, he was renominated for his post by President Biden in 2021. While the Surgeon General's reconstructions aren't binding a similar report on the risks of smoking in 1964 was the start of a national shift toward regulation of tobacco.

Vice-President Harris announced the first grants to be awarded through a ground breaking program to remove barriers to building more housing. Under President Biden more housing units are under construction than at any time in the last 50 years. Vice President Harris was announcing 85 million dollars in grants giving to communities in 21 states through the  Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO) program. The administration plans another 100 million in PRO grants at the end of the summer and has requested 100 million more for next year. The Treasury also announced it'll moved 100 million of left over Covid funds toward housing. All of this is part of plans to build 2 million affordable housing units and invest $258 billion in housing overall.

President Biden pardoned all former US service members convicted under the US Military's ban on gay sex. The pardon is believed to cover 2,000 veterans convicted of "consensual sodomy". Consensual sodomy was banned and a felony offense under the Uniform Code of Justice from 1951 till 2013. The Pardon will wipe clean those felony records and allow veterans to apply to change their discharge status.

The Department of Transportation announced $1.8 Billion in new infrastructure building across all 50 states, 4 territories and Washington DC. The program focuses on smaller, often community-oriented projects that span jurisdictions. This award saw a number of projects focused on climate and energy, like $25 million to help repair damage caused by permafrost melting amid higher temperatures in Alaska, or $23 million to help electrify the Downeast bus fleet in Maine.

The Department of Energy announced $2.7 billion to support domestic sources of nuclear fuel. The Biden administration hopes to build up America's domestic nuclear fuel to allow for greater stability and lower costs. Currently Russia is the world's top exporter of enriched uranium, supplying 24% of US nuclear fuel.

The Department of Interior awarded $127 million to 6 states to help clean up legacy pollution from orphaned oil and gas wells. The funding will help cap 600 wells in Alaska, Arizona, Indiana, New York and Ohio. So far thanks to administration efforts over 7,000 orphaned wells across the country have been capped, reduced approximately 11,530 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions

HUD announced $469 million to help remove dangerous lead from older homes. This program will focus on helping homeowners particularly low income ones remove lead paint and replace lead pipes in homes built before 1978. This represents one of the largest investments by the federal government to help private homeowners deal with a health and safety hazard.

Bonus: President Biden's efforts to forgive more student debt through his administration's SAVE plan hit a snag this week when federal courts in Kansas and Missouri blocked elements the Administration also suffered a set back at the Supreme Court as its efforts to regular smog causing pollution was rejected by the conservative majority in a 5-4 ruling that saw Amy Coney Barrett join the 3 liberals against the conservatives. This week's legal setbacks underline the importance of courts and the ability to nominate judges and Justices over the next 4 years.

CBS Evening News: Dan Rather-George H.W. Bush Tiff The Day After

\ Source:The New Democrat  I haven’t seen this video in about three years and I saw it then on YouTube. And if I heard anything about it as a kid in 1987 when this interview was conducted when I was 11-12 when, I don’t remember. So I don’t remember this interview very well to say the least, but a post about that interview and the interview itself will be on this blog in the future. What I can…

Polled less than 1% among democrat voters in the 2019 primary, has accomplished absolutely nothing since. Never won the nomination for this office. Was selected to be VP choice. And now she's running for president! Wild ride.

Who the heck is JD Vance? (I think it was the name, I blocked it but saw a J and V.)

I got an email saying Trump picked him for VP. I don’t know if it’s true and I keep blocking the numbers because I’m not a republican, though they seem to think I’m one.

Joseph Robinette Biden, the forty-sixth president of the United States of America, was seen today being sealed into a container thought to resemble a sarcophagus. Hewn from a stone unknown to the large language model our reporters asked about it, the thing's lid made a terrible grinding noise—described unanimously by the nations tweens, who have begun performing contortions to the sound on TikTok and similar short-form video platforms, as "the gnashing of all teeth upon all whetstones, ong bro, ong."—as it was slid into place, and our cameras' view of the president's slowly probing hand was reduced until only a slit remained of the eighty year old Pennsylvania native's fingers as they moved across their newfound ceiling in the manner of reading braille, and this was also removed from sight. In Spaces, an audio-only livestream hosted on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, vice president Kamala Harris spoke of the incident, saying "He loves it in there, oh my God he really does (laughing) he really just (unintelligible) and I wish him the best. I wish him the best."
