BREAKING: President Biden brings down the roof with his first speech of the 2024 election year, hammering Donald Trump and MAGA with the fiery fury of a man on the right side of history. This is the kind of heroic salvo that ends up in the text books... The president gave the show-stopping speech near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and marked the third anniversary of Trump's Capitol insurrection. Proving immediately that he is a better man and leader in every way, Biden said: "I’ll say what Donald Trump won’t. Political violence is never acceptable in the United States." This is not the kind of thing that someone running for American president should even have to say, but given what we saw on January 6th it's a necessity. But those weren't even the harshest words that Biden had to share about his insurrectionist opponent. During one particularly powerful segment, he ripped into Trump's blatant fascism. "He calls those who oppose him vermin," said Biden. "He talks about the blood of America as being poisoned, echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany. He proudly posts on social media the words that best describe his 2024 campaign: 'Revenge,' 'power,' and 'dictatorship.' There's no confusion about who Trump is, what he intends to do." "All out war is what Trump wants," said Biden. "And that's why he doesn't understand the most fundamental truth about this country. Unlike other nations on Earth, America is not built on ethnicity, religion, geography..." "We're the only nation in the history of the world built on an idea," Biden went on. "Not hyperbole, built on an idea. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equally. It's an idea declared in the Declaration, created in a way that we view everybody as equal and should be treated equal throughout their lives." "We've never fully lived up to that," said Biden. "We have a long way to go but we've never walked away from the idea. We've never walked away from it before. I promise you I will not let Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans force us to walk away now." The crowd erupted in applause. This is a winning message for 2024. Hope, not fear. Democracy, not fascism. Blue, not red. #BidenDefendsDemocracy Please retweet and ❤️ if you will proudly vote for Joe Biden in 2024 to stop MAGA fascism — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Trump in 2017: “GDP just released at 2.6 percent. We’re setting economic records and we’re very proud of it” GDP hit 4.9 percent under @JoeBiden.

Why I am tired...follow my thread I was driving home from work listening to Chris Hayes telling America how Biden's economy is killing it by every metric...he also played a clip where even people on Fox were celebrating the economy, maybe not Biden, but the economy. I decided to look at these metrics because I know Biden is kicking ass, but it appears not enough of us understand the true depths of the amazing job this man is doing...and doing it at 81 years of age. Bidenomics was Joe's way of saying he was going to grow the economy from the middle out. The man has record low unemployment, increased real wages, the GDP is exploding, inflation continues to drop, and the stock market is setting huge records. By any metric this is one of the strongest performances of any president in over 100 years and yet only 36 percent of this country thinks he's handling the economy well. Biden has stated emphatically that you build the economy from the middle out and not top down because the only trickle down from the top is the rich peeing on your shoes. Biden has stated the only way to grow the economy is 'to include more people in it." This means that the many hands replace the so called invisible hand because the invisible hand truly is invisible...it is a mirage that leads to huge deficits. Reagan was wrong and Biden is correct. We see unions thriving again on truly liveable wages...life changing wages...we see teenagers making between 15-20 bucks an hour while still in high school and I know this because my own students make this kind of money and it is why I don't see them in class enough. Bidenomics believes in three "key pillars"- public investments, empowering workers, and promoting competition...Republicans don't compete, they create monopolies and remove legislation that discourages monopolies. Reganomics gave the appearance of working when in fact it was built on tax cuts, deregulation, wage cuts. It believed that public investment hurt private investment...what that really means is that public investment cuts into their profits and their high prices and benefits the public better and cheaper. "The CHIPS and Science Acts alone has raised 231 billion dollars from private investors", so the private sector is not being crowded out. Reagan began the killing of the middle class the day he fired the Air traffic controllers. The private sector followed his lead and soon enough union membership plummeted to record low numbers. Once again the workers got screwed. Under Republicans, workers always get screwed and history shows this. What Biden is doing is working. "Employers do not pay you what you are worth, they pay you what you have the power to negotiate." The federal minimum wage of 7.25 has been in place for a very long time and it if had grown according the rate of inflation it would be over $12 an hour by now. Thank Republicans. Biden has promised to enforce anti-trust laws to ensure competition becomes a staple in the economy for years to come. Republicans will tell you Bidenomics is a disaster simply because it cuts into corporate profits. The fact is corporations do not need more profits and CEO's need a salary ceiling. Corporations have been robbing this country blind...all of us...left and right What Biden is showing America is that the Republican/Corporate model does not work and he is winning the argument and it's not even close. Before I became a teacher I was in business and then a business owner. I have hired a lot of people. People with graduate degrees, people with no HS education, and people who have been in prison (I hate the term ex-con as it's dehumanizing). I hired people of all walks of life because what I valued was growing as a business and if someone could help me grow, that was the quality that mattered to me. Could they help or not? that was it. The more hands I had the more I could grow and that is exactly what Biden is betting on and his argument is succeeding. I will say this...I have had my share of older folks working for me...if someone came to me with Biden's resume and that resume was recent, I would hire that guy any day of the week and I would not care if he was 91 years old. Biden as done more at 81 years of age than Trump has done his whole life. He has done more than any president in Modern history and that really cannot be debated. The numbers tell the story. Some say but what about interests rates? I say what about them? Higher interest rates have helped bring inflation down and kept the economy from getting too out of hand. Right now it is a nice sustainable growth and talks of recession are gone. The Fed has indicated that we are looking at 3 interest rates in 2024 and I suspect they might even be a tad higher than they indicate which I believe was a total of .75 ...one must be careful with dropping them too fast or things fall apart. The time has come for the 1% to return the 50 trillion dollars they have flat out stole from us...they know that Biden is coming for them and thats why they are spending billions in propaganda convincing this country that we are on the wrong path...it is why Republicans are trying to impeach him...they know Biden has found the right recipe and it will cost them dearly and they want him gone...who do you think is paying for the whole Biden is old campaign, the Biden is a crook campaign, the economy is a mirage conversation, and every other false flag out there...Billionaires fear Joe Biden and they should. Americans should embrace him because he is the way forward...soon enough Republicans might even say that Biden guy is doing ok as Biden keeps building more businesses in their state....ask Colorado who benefits from what Lauren Boebert voted against. If you are looking for a reason to vote against Biden, perhaps is time to start looking for reasons to vote for him or you might miss out on the greatest growth this country might ever see. Peace

WATCH: “This is an outright assault on public education.” @DavidPepper debunks myths about @GovBillLee’s private school vouchers — which will mostly help wealthy students who don’t go to public schools, and won’t improve outcomes. Lee’s expansion presser is tomorrow.

A message for the 1.4 million Americans on active duty and their families from the Republican Party.

A real quote from Lauren Boebert: “There has been a moral decay in our country because too many of our leaders have traded the truth for a lie.”

It’s cool how God never listens to her

Age is a gift, not everyone is given. So with that, Happy 40th Birthday to me 🎂

On this day in 1956, America welcomed my dad (pictured center) and his family as Palestinian Christian refugees. It was the greatest blessing of his life. Born Attallah Amash in 1940, my dad had an extremely difficult childhood. He was a victim of war, expelled from his home at just eight years old in 1948, moving from place to place to find shelter and living off scraps. He never had new clothes except what was provided to him through charity. In the few years (on and off) that he was able to attend school, the other children didn’t want to associate with him. He couldn’t even play soccer with them because he didn’t have shoes. His father made him sell coffee and tea as a young boy just to make a few cents that his dad would take. The first time my dad had a decent meal was when a family member died (an uncle, who lived and died in a dog house) and neighbors delivered food in his memory. Even before the conflict, my dad’s family lived in abject poverty. His grandma, grandpa, aunt, and uncle died of starvation under Ottoman rule. They lived in horrendous conditions among rats. They were abused, uneducated, prone to superstitions, and struggled with mental illness. The Amash family’s misfortune turned into triumph when Rev. & Mrs. Ralph Wagoner (pictured right), of the Muskegon Church of the Brethren, made the sacrifice to sponsor them to come to the United States. The incredible generosity of the Wagoners gave new life to the Amashes. I’m forever grateful to the Wagoners for making my life in America possible. I’m forever grateful to America for opening its arms to poor refugees like my dad’s family. This story is why I so dearly love our Constitution, which defends life, liberty, and property. It’s why I wanted to serve in Congress: to support, with my voice and votes, the great principles that define America. I was honored that my community here in Michigan gave me that opportunity.

This is a lie. Call out the disinformation when you see it.

What if you took the time you spent getting angry about Internet drama and shared a coffee with a friend? Visited your parents? Helped a neighbor? Come on. Don’t waste your life.

"Sad night last night but today is a brighter day. The ewe (female sheep) on the left lambed a stillborn and we were unable to resuscitate it. She cried most of the night longing for her lamb after we removed it. The ewe on the right lambed twins last week, though they were very small. It seems that today she has given one of her twins to the grieving mother to raise as her own. This is a photo of them together with their new children." Credit: Bishop Family Farm

Here is Glenn Beck's media outlet openly apparently trying to bully a government employee, for no real reason, who is one of the friendliest, most helpful people I've worked with over the last few years. 8M views. Why. Why do this. Just to be mean to someone?

BREAKING: Trump has filed a motion to dismiss the charges brought by Jack Smith in DC arguing presidential immunity - stating that he’s being charged for actions that are “at the heart of his official responsibilities” as president. He will lose. I look forward to DoJ response.

Breaking ABC: Months after leaving office, Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of Mar-a-Lago — an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others. abcnews.go.com/US/after-white…

Look, Corrupt Marsha Blackburn doesn't give a damn about everyday Americans. She's made that perfectly clear. Not women. Not kids. Not people of color. Not working class folks. Marsha's in DC for the NRA, Big Pharma, and all her special-interest pals. That's it.
