🚨 According to a new book by Franklin Foer, Joe Biden isn't just the president of the United States, he is the West’s father figure, whom foreign leaders call for advice and look to for assurance.
Foer writes: "It was his calming presence and his strategic clarity that helped lead the alliance to such an aggressive stance, which stymied authoritarianism on its front lines. He was a man for his age.”
Yes, folks, President Biden is old. But he is also WISE and DECENT. Our allies see that and they value it.
Retweet if you are proud to have a president with the wisdom to not only lead our nation, but the free world. I know I sure am. 🇺🇸

An incredibly important piece about the shifting language of the anti-abortion movement by @JessicaValenti.
“But rather than change the policies that are causing so much suffering, conservatives seem to believe they can talk their way out of the problem not just with political messaging but also by manipulating medical and legal language.
This summer, for example, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists published a ‘Glossary of Medical Terms’ instructing doctors on what ‘life affirming’ language to use. Under their guidance, a woman whose fetus has a fatal anomaly would be told not that the condition is terminal but that it’s ‘life limiting.’ Similarly, if someone’s water breaks months before her due date, she would be informed not that the pregnancy is nonviable but that it’s ‘pre-viable.’ The goal is in part to persuade women to carry doomed pregnancies, which can be emotionally and physically catastrophic.”
Meet Bill Eigel, a Republican candidate for Governor in Missouri.
Bill has come out against adding rape and incest exceptions to Missouri’s abortion ban.
He says he doesn’t want to turn the ban into “Swiss Cheese.”
Yes, those are his actual words.
Just remember this makes him more likely to win the nomination, not less. And that says everything you need to know.
The remnants of Ophelia will continue to move northward through the region today. As such, showers associated with this system should end from south to north. The next few days are expected to be cool, cloudy, and unsettled with further onshore flow. #MDwx#DCwx#WVwx#VAwx
We will never forget the 2,977 lives lost twenty-two years ago today at Ground Zero, Shanksville, and the Pentagon.
We remain indebted to the heroic first responders, and our hearts are with the family members and friends who lost loved ones.
I grow tired of saying it. So this will be the last time. The 2nd Amendment was written for muskets that took an hour to reload. Not for AR-15’s that fire 400 rounds per minute. Agree/disagree?
We need to get together and plan- things are moving in Harford County and 2024 will be here before you know it. Be in the know - sign up for our newsletters, attend our meetings, be involved!

Governor @RonDeSantis is once again acting like an authoritarian dictator & attacking democracy.
Despite being duly elected by the voters, he’s trying to remove @MoniqueHWorrell from office, the only Black woman serving as a State Attorney in Florida.

This is a political hit job and a power grab.
But if I know the people of Florida, they’re gonna fight back!
