Welcome Number 46...


Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. is an American politician and the president-elect of the United States.  Having defeated incumbent Donald Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election, he will be inaugurated as the 46th president on January 20, 2021.

Education:  College of Law - Syracuse University (1968), University of Delaware (1965), Archmere Academy (1961).
Born:  November 20, 1942 (age 77), Scranton, PA.

Children:  Hunter Biden, Beau Biden, Ashley Biden, Naomi Christina Biden.

Spouse:  Jill Biden (married 1977)  Neilia Hunter (married 1966 - 1972)

Previous Offices:  Vice President of the United States (2009-2017), He was elected at age 29 by the Delaware voters and served in the U.S. Senate from 1973 to 2009 and was on two key committees as both ranking member and chairman:  The Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Family:  Married to Jill Biden, father to Hunter, Ashley, and the late Joseph Robinette "Beau" III and Naomi.  Biden's first wife, Neilia, died in a car accident with their baby daughter Naomi in 1972.  Beau Biden died in May 2015 of brain cancer.

Little Known Fact:  As a child, Biden struggled with stuttering, which he overcame with public speaking.  It is rarely audible. 

The major criticism heard from his opponents:  He is a 47-year career politician.  Gee, is that worse than a career businessman with countless bankruptcies, unpaid taxes, pathological lying history, numerous extramarital affairs, and years of cheating contractors and subcontractors out of wages?  Additionally, we can't forget how he never had a clue how to "run" the government of the United States of America, but he was proficient at appointing people to "run" it into the ground. 

Let's remind ourselves about president-elect Joe Biden's qualifications as a 37-year U.S. Senator and 8 years as Vice President.

We can certainly rely on Biden's acumen to take our nation back to respectability and honor in the world.  That comes from his 47 years of knowing what makes America great.

After four years of nightmares from the phony "Art of the Deal" businessman...I'll take a career politician anytime!

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

It's immoral to even let him run for office. . .

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
