Hi Friends,
It is fun to see President Joe Biden out on the trail again. As I write, he is speaking at the U.S. Conference of Mayors. He is telling the mayors what he needs from them and tells them what he will give back. Our president has not given up on his presidential Build Back Better Bill. With that, he will change the future of America, bringing back healthy middle- and working-classes. Working together, he said, we can accomplish anything. He is good. Better yet, he is sincere.
That reminds me of a weekend ethics class I was taking. I found the room, went in, sat down, and started visiting with my neighbor. I thought the spread was a little too much for just a class. As I looked around the room, I didn’t see anyone I knew. So I verified the room number with my neighbor. Then, I asked her what was going on there. She said the Black Mayors’ Conference. They must have wondered. Because I am neither a mayor nor Black.
Enjoy the read!

Biden Shuts Down His Haters During Historic WH Press Conference
President Joe Biden stood for one hour and 56 minutes taking questions from the press Wednesday afternoon. During that time, he addressed a wide range of subjects. We saw his wit, his thoughtfulness, and his humor. When he was given a question about his mental clarity, he laughed. What came out clearly was his patriotism, his devotion to America’s democracy, and that he is up to the fight.
When asked about his lack of accomplishments, he turned a reporter’s question around:
‘HAS ANY PRESIDENT EVER ACCOMPLISHED MORE IN THEIR FIRST YEAR? NAME ONE. THINK ABOUT THE TIMEFRAME IT TOOK TO COME UP WITH VACCINE. PRETTY AMAZING. IT SAVED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES.’
Trump Press Secretary Testifies To Jan. 6 Committee About Secret Meetings
In the days leading up to Donald Trump’s failed coup, Stephanie Grisham testified to the House January 6 Select Committee that there were “off-the-books meetings in the White House,” according to one The Guardian source. As press secretary to first the previous first lady and then to the president, Grisham was one of the very few who were privy to the ultra-secret meetings.
Grisham said that those meetings were usually set up by Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Then long-time trusted Chief Usher Timothy Harleth waved the attendees upstairs, according to The Guardian source.
Ivanka & Don Jr Accused Of Widespread Criminal Tax Fraud In...
New York Attorney General (AG) Letitia (Tish) James is hot on the trail of Donald Trump, his children, and their company for financial wrongdoing, according to Reuters. She just announced her office will “uncover the facts and pursue justice” regardless of the ex-president’s roadblocks. James is unshakeable.
The attorney general said “No one in this country can pick and choose if and how the law applies to them:”
‘WE ARE TAKING LEGAL ACTION TO FORCE DONALD TRUMP, DONALD TRUMP, JR., AND IVANKA TRUMP TO COMPLY WITH OUR INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION’S FINANCIAL DEALINGS. NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY CAN PICK AND CHOOSE IF AND HOW THE LAW APPLIES TO THEM.’
Senators Murkowski, Tester Call For Fair Elections, Healing Broken Senate
Senate Democrats reached into the bottom of the barrel and found an old rule that allowed senators to stand on the floor and talk about the two voting rights bills. Although many senators went into great detail, Senators Jon Tester (D-MT) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) make the most sense in perhaps the fewest words.
Senator Tester said that we might remember he has another job. He is a farmer and talked about what he had expected when he came to the Senate. Great debates in the same halls as people before him had done. But he was disappointed. There was no debate great nor small. He had walked into a broken Senate.
Latest Florida Polls Shows Ron DeSantis In Danger Of Losing
The Political Matrix/The Listener Group poll results showed that Governor Ron DeSantis (R) was losing to both of his top two Democratic opponents. Compared to Charlie Crist (D) (57 percent), the governor rated only 43 percent. Part of that may be due to how he mishandled the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Almost 54 percent of Florida voters rank the governor’s performance unfavorable (34 percent) or very unfavorable. Those who considered DeSantis favorable in any way (43 percent) included 27 percent of that group who gave him a very favorable rating.
A third candidate Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) also put DeSantis underwater at 54 percent compared to 46 percent against her.
