President Joe Biden met with progressives to deal with the vote of infrastructure and other spending proposals. The progressives has nothing to do the moderate Democrat obstructionists. The important part of this situation is that the bill will help mothers, roads, bridges, families in general, other infrastructure, and other parts of American society. Biden criticized Republicans for playing dangerous games with the economy. The Republicans hypocritically talk about the debt, but they encourage massive billions of dollars in tax breaks for the super wealthy. There has been billions of dollars in an increase of the defense budget, and the Republicans are silent on that. Yet, they complain about spending money to help fellow citizens in America domestically. The myth going around is that there is no money or revenue to help America via investments. We have the resources to build up this country into the 21st century fully. We just have to incorporate the will in making sure that these just policies are enacted by Congress.
Protecting our voting rights is always paramount. The problem isn't just laws that have voter suppression provisions in them. It is also about how the people, who count the vote, can be manipulated to cheat in future elections against progressive human beings. Gerrymandering is ever commonplace. There was the memo made by a Trump lawyer that wanted to allow Trump to stay in office. This lawyer is called John Eastman. He is an extremist. Donald Trump elevated far right voices in trying to stay in power. We were so close in witnessing an American far right coup in American society. Pence came back after the 1/6 insurrection to confirm the results of the insurrection. That is why we have to learn the facts, advocate for federal voting right legislation, and to speak our minds regardless of the censorship agenda promoted by some. Our freedom matters, and we don't need to be politically correct in speaking our minds.
President Joe Biden has promoted his infrastructure bill in Howell, Michigan. He said that many of the super wealthy pay no federal income taxes, but most Americans do. He wants Congress to reach a deal to pass an infrastructure bill in Washington, D.C. It is obvious that the status quo doesn't work. This speech was indirectly in reference to 2 Senators who stubbornly refuse to support progressive laws. Biden said that America must invest in itself to show the world that democracy works. It is hypocritical of moderates to yell about spending, but they are silent on the massive tax cuts that expand the deficits. The majority of Americans support the infrastructure bill too. This isn't some unpopular proposal. Not to mention that we have to deal with the debt ceiling situation rather soon. If it is not rectified, then the U.S. economy could face a large recession. No one wants another terrible recession found back in 2020, 2008, or in 1929.
Mike Pence is saying the lie that the media is using January 6 to demean Trump supporters and voters. The reality is that the January 6 terrorists wanted to hang Pence which is wrong. Later, Pence still supported Trump and his supporters. He is the epitome of a coward hiding behind his faith as an excuse to support Trump. His faith has nothing to do with Trump's abhorrent actions. It is against his faith for Trump to curse peaceful protesters, to brag about abusing women, to allow immigrants to be placed in cages, and to outright lie about the 2020 election results. These acts that Trump has done are sacrilegious by also holding the Bible as a prop after the police forced peaceful protesters out of a vicinity in 2020. It takes some nerve to exploit God as an excuse to defend terrorists and seditionists. Terrorists attacked the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2020, and these traitors should be legally held accountable for their actions. Therefore, Mike Pence should wake up and see that the Trump administration is the worst administration of our generation.
The elephant in the room deals with the recent testimony about Facebook to Congress. Internal documents from Facebook prove that many young people feel social anxiety and pain from the unrealistic expectations from Facebook, Instagram, etc. I think changes should be made, and Facebook should have accountability for its wrongdoings. The corporate media is half right on this issue. They are right that we should reject misinformation and hatred advanced in the Internet. No one here believes in overt lies being glamorized anywhere in the media. We believe in growing the self esteem of human beings, loving wisdom, and advancing justice. The corporate media is wrong is advocating in many cases some overt censorship to combat this. In Youtube, I write many comments. Some of my comments are banned, even when my comments have no vulgarity or profanity in them. The corporate media is not reporting on the widespread censorship of innocent people in the Internet at all because of the obvious reason. So, this censorship agenda is real. It is not fake. The corporate media hypocritically talks about honor and respect, but it is a historical fact that the super wealthy fund the corporate media to promote neoliberalism, the status quo, imperialistic wars of aggression against sovereign countries, and capitalist propaganda. One example is how the CIA decades ago infiltrated the media via Operation Mockingbird. Another example is how many in the media demonized Bernie Sanders' campaign as near Marxist when Sanders is a neo-New Deal Democrat. Another example is the overt far right bias of FOX News. So, we should be careful not to use the blatant imperfections of Facebook (including some in Facebook sugarcoating hate speech which I don't agree with) as an excuse to advance group think. Passionate rejection of oppression is not divisiveness. It's commonsense.
