Biden & Dems have had an Exceptionally Good Couple of Months Including Their Historic Climate Bill
President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have had an exceptionally good couple of months after taking a beating on inflation, a stalled agenda, and high energy prices during the first half of the year. Inflation may hang around for a bit longer, but Democrats now have an impressive string of legislative victories thanks to Biden's experience, patience, and willingness to compromise. The Economist: “When Joe Biden bangs on about bipartisanship and compromising, some Democr

Biden Seeks to Poach Putin's Top Scientists & Innovators
One of America's greatest advantages is that the world's best and brightest still want to come here to work, live and built new businesses. President Joe Biden wants to use that advantage to drain Russia of its top science talent by relaxing some visa requirements. New York Times: "An administration proposal sent to Capitol Hill as part of a larger package requesting $33 billion in spending on the war would suspend for four years the requirement that scientists applying for v

The Free World is Thankful for Biden's Steady Hand During the Ukraine Crisis
Donald Trump considered withdrawing from NATO if he won in 2020.

He's trying to hold on to a Senate seat in one of the reddest states in America and the climate portions of the bill are anathema to the coal industry in West Virginia. Manchin's a

Biden's Bold Decision is Legal, Popular, and Will Save American Lives
To a majority of Americans, President Joe Biden's decision to mandate the Covid vaccine for a large portion of our population is just common sense. Most of us are tired of the inane excuses and bizarre conspiracy theories, and understand that the unvaccinated are the reason that the virus has space to mutate into increasingly dangerous forms. And, if I meet one more person who tells me that the vaccine is part of a plot to sterilize white people, I think my head will explode.

Biden Warns Putin & Rebuilds America's "Soft Power" Through Alliances & Trust
During the Trump years, America's standing in the world was reduced to what it could obtain through raw power and intimidation. That might have been enough for Great Britain in the 19th Century, but in the age of nuclear weapons, cyberwarfare, terrorism, and a globalized economy it's not enough to achieve the nation's international goals. You also need what IR expert Joseph Nye called "soft power." US President Joe Biden understands that you need both to reach your global obj
