    At this point it would probably be better if he just turned the tele-prompter towards us so we could read what he's trying to say.

    But he's still a better option than Trump.

    Biden signs order for federal government to achieve net-zero by 2050

    President Biden on Wednesday signed an executive order that directs the federal government to achieve a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

    The order also directs the federal government to use its purchasing power toward a goal of 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2030, which is five years ahead of the administration’s target of 2035 for national carbon neutrality. It further directs the government to ensure demand is met by making at least half of that energy locally produced.

    Under the order, the federal government would also reduce its operating emissions by 65 percent by 2030. This is also more ambitious than the administration’s stated goal of cutting emissions by half nationwide by 2030. However, the 2050 date for full carbon neutrality within the federal government matches the administration’s goal for nationwide net-zero emissions.

    Other provisions of the order include making 100 percent of federal government vehicle acquisitions zero emissions by 2035, with a goal of 2027 for light-duty vehicles.

    Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) praised the order in a statement Wednesday afternoon, calling it “the right thing to do.”

    The order “will move us closer to reaching our shared climate goals and strengthen our clean energy sector” as well as “enhance the implementation of our recently enacted bipartisan infrastructure bill, meaning more Americans getting to work in good-paying jobs,” Carper said in a statement.

    The Delaware senator went on to say cooperation from states will be necessary to achieve the goals outlined in the order.

    “States should follow the federal government’s lead and implement their own emissions reduction plans,” he said, adding that passing the Democratic spending package would enable the federal government to provide support to states toward those goals.

    The Center for Biological Diversity, however, was critical of the scale of the order, calling it insufficient.

    “2050 is an extremely weak goal for the federal government to free itself from climate-heating pollution," CBD senior counsel Bill Snape said in a statement. It ignores existing technology and adds decades to [the General Services Administration]’s own commitment to 100% renewable energy by 2025. This is like a teenager promising to clean their room in 30 years. We need action now.”

    Biden is delivering the fastest economic recovery in history.Why hasnt anyone noticed

    Democrats are faced with a sticky problem: The economy is nearing full employment after businesses added 210,000 jobs in November, labor force participation climbed to its highest level since the pandemic and wages are rising across many industries. Yet most voters are increasingly pessimistic about President Biden’s economic stewardship.

    “I’m not exactly sure why what’s happening isn’t being characterized as a booming recovery from a worldwide shutdown,” Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz (D) mused in a tweet last month. The answer involves a bit of Democratic over-optimism and a whole lot of Republican messaging the Biden administration has been slow to counter.

    Schatz is largely right: Under Biden, the American economy has recovered from its Trump-era lows with remarkable speed. Just a year ago, the unemployment rate sat stubbornly at 6.7 percent. Today, only 4.2 percent of Americans are out of work. Similar economic recoveries have normally taken three times as long. The Biden administration is delivering on the fastest sustained economic recovery in American history, yet its messaging struggles to tell that story.

    More important for Democrats is that this isn’t a “paper recovery,” where unemployment rates fall because more Americans simply give up looking for work. Much to Democrats’ relief, the opposite is true for the Biden recovery. The labor force participation rate, the percentage of Americans 16 and older who are working or actively looking for work, just hit pre-pandemic levels. That’s a hugely reassuring development for analysts who initially feared the global pandemic would be a drag on the labor force rate for years to come.

    But a surging economic recovery doesn’t mean that all is well for regular Americans, and if Democrats want to make jobs and the economy a 2022 campaign issue, they’ll need answers for some of the recovery’s potholes. Chief among them? Inflation.

    A CNBC All-America Economic Survey released this week found that while Americans plan to spend 13 percent more this holiday season — great news Biden’s media surrogates should be shouting from — it also found that more Americans are concerned about rising inflation than about the pandemic. While that’s a promising sign that we’re moving forward from the coronavirus, Democrats are now faced with rising prices and unhappy consumers.

    CNBC’s survey found 4 in 10 Americans are pessimistic about where the economy is headed, but it should concern the White House that 7 percent more Americans think the economy is getting worse today than did a year ago at the peak of the third coronavirus wave. Not only is that incorrect, it points to Democrats' biggest problem: a conservative media machine pumping out economic disinformation on a 24/7 production schedule.

    Republicans want voters to think of their economic gains as temporary and the inflation pinch as permanent. They get the story exactly backwards. That hasn’t stopped some conservative outlets from crafting the bogus narrative that inflation is a result of Democratic spending priorities — not a side effect of an economy rapidly expanding after a year with its head held underwater. They also fail to mention that wages recently rose by the largest amount in two decades, and American workers will still be pocketing those gains when our post-coronavirus economic supercharge wears off and inflation drops back to regular levels.

    If the conservative media’s framing is wrong, it’s also ruthlessly effective in scaring Democrats away from discussing all of the good happening in our economy since January. And like clockwork, skittish moderate Democrats are taking the GOP bait.

    “We urge additional action by the House of Representatives to further address the disruptions and higher costs our constituents are experiencing,” a group of centrist House Democrats, including over a dozen in vulnerable 2022 races, wrote in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) last week. If Democrats can’t get their economic messaging together to convince their own moderates, how do they intend to persuade voters?

    At this point, only Biden has the bully pulpit necessary to contain the jitters overtaking his party’s lawmakers. Instead of focusing on the numbers, Biden should play to his strengths by connecting each element of the economic recovery to the stories and lived experiences of real Americans the recovery is helping.

    It isn’t enough to quote charts at Americans who think the economy is worse than it was a year ago — Democrats must show them how the Biden administration has stewarded one of the most impressive economic turnarounds in recent memory. Biden’s knack for one-on-one connection is an asset to humanizing Democrats’ economic message, but only if the party has the courage to counter months of unchallenged Republican disinformation.

    America’s rapid-fire economic recovery is a historic event. It’s time Democrats treated it like one worth celebrating.

    He needs to spell it out to the lemmings. They want to hear it from the president's mouth. The orange moron just spewed lies over and over again. Sadly, a lot of them stuck on the wall, so Biden needs to trumpet his successes in the same way.

    It is a sad new reality. You must pander to the idiots.

    Biden Eulogizes Dole as ‘Genuine Hero’ Who ‘Lived by a Code of Honor’

    Robert J. Dole — celebrated son of Kansas, lawmaker, presidential and vice-presidential runner-up, champion of the rights of veterans and the disabled, an enduring icon in the life of the Capitol — was memorialized Friday in a grand send-off at Washington National Cathedral.

    President Biden eulogized Mr. Dole, his longtime Senate colleague who died Sunday at 98, calling him “a genuine hero,” who “never forgot where he came from” and always adhered to the ideal that “no first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens.”


    It was the second day of tributes in Washington to the former Senate majority leader who worked with Democrats to advance Social Security, protect the disabled and rework the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, commonly known as food stamps.

    “Bob was a man who always did his duty,” Mr. Biden said. “Who lived by a code of honor. Almost seems strange to say that today. But he lived by a code of honor.”

    The scene evoked a kind of Old Home Week ritual as one momentous Washington figure after another soldiered into the rows. Mr. Biden headlined a bipartisan roster that included the first lady, Jill Biden; Vice President Kamala Harris; Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic majority leader; and Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader. Three former vice presidents — Mike Pence, Dick Cheney and Dan Quayle — were there, as were several dozen current and former senators, cabinet officials, foreign diplomats and top military brass.

    Also present was former President Bill Clinton, who defeated Mr. Dole in his 1996 re-election campaign and then presented his former opponent with the Presidential Medal of Freedom just three days before his second inauguration. “I had a dream that I would be here this historic week receiving something from the president,” Mr. Dole said in accepting the award in the East Room of the White House. “But I thought it would be the front door key.”

    Such trademark wit was a recurring theme of the tributes. Mr. Biden recalled a contentious Senate debate over funding for Amtrak, the rail service that then-Senator Biden relied on for his nightly commutes home to Wilmington, Del. To Mr. Biden’s great surprise, Mr. Dole broke with his party to cast a deciding vote to secure the funding

    “He was asked, ‘Why, why would you do that?’” Mr. Biden recounted. “He said, ‘It’s the best way to get Joe Biden the hell out of here at night.’” The cathedral filled with laughter. “Excuse my language,” Mr. Biden said, turning to the clergy seated nearby. “True story, absolutely true story.”


    There have been a number of these memorial spectacles at the Cathedral in recent years: Former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s funeral was in November, and former Senator and Navy Secretary John Warner’s was held in June. Senator John McCain’s funeral was at the cathedral in September 2018, followed in December of the same year by the service for former President George H.W. Bush.

    The Very Rev. Randolph Hollerith, the dean of the cathedral, referred to this string of losses at the start of the program, noting how recently many of these same guests had convened for Mr. Powell’s farewell. “We have indeed seen too much loss in recent days,” Dean Hollerith said.

    Guests began arriving at the cathedral in Northwest Washington just after dawn of what would be a packed day of business from the White House to the Capitol to the Supreme Court. The funeral was a part of it as cable news networks carried the service live and correspondents did live shots from the cathedral lawn.

    Mr. Biden, who shortly after his inauguration visited the Doles at their Washington home after his old friend learned he had lung cancer, said Mr. Dole’s love of country always prevailed over tribal political instincts.

    BRIEFING ROOM
    Remarks by President Biden at the Memorial Service of Senator Robert J. Dole
    DECEMBER 10, 2021
    SPEECHES AND REMARKS
    Washington National Cathedral
    Washington, D.C.

    11:29 A.M. EST

    THE PRESIDENT: Reverend, clergy, distinguished guests: Among the many memories from 50 years of friendship, there is one that especially captures what Bob Dole was as a man and, in my view, as a patriot.

    We were on our way to the 50th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, but we started in Italy, in Anzio. Much has been written about his time in Anzio, but to be there with him felt significantly different.

    He was on a mission in the mountains. Nazi gunfire and mortar fire was thick. A man was dying — men were dying. Facing a hail of bullets, Second Lieutenant Robert Joseph Dole hurled a grenade into an empty [enemy] gun nest.

    He was trying to help a fallen comrade, his platoon radioman, when everything changed. And I mean everything changed. His spine was damaged because fire tore across the hills, shattering his body. Grievously wounded. He was paralyzed.

    Dragged behind a wall, Bob would pass in and out of consciousness, dreaming of home as he lay bleeding in the foxhole for nearly nine hours.

    He was 21 years old.

    Nearly eight decades on, we gather here in a world far different from the mountainous battlefield in 1949 — 45. But there’s something –- there’s something that connects that past and present, wartime and peace, then and now: the courage, the grit, the goodness, and the grace of a Second Lieutenant named Bob Dole, who became Congressman Dole, Senator Dole; a statesman, husband, father, friend, colleague, and a word that’s often overused but not here: a genuine hero — Bob Dole.

    Dean and the clergy officiating today’s service; President Clinton; Vice President Harris, Vice President Pence, and Cheney, and Quayle; Speaker Pelosi; Leader Schumer; Leader McConnell; members of Congress of both parties past and present; members of the Cabinet; General Milley and leaders of our military; distinguished guests; and most of all, the Dole family — Elizabeth:

    It’s been said that “memory is the power to gather roses in winter.” Bob left you with 45 years’ worth of roses, of a life built and a love shared that’s going to guide you through the difficult days ahead.

    Jill and I will always be here for you, as many others in this church will be, as you and Bob were always there for us in ways nobody knows.

    And, Robin, you carry your father’s pride, grace, and character. He’s always going to be with you, because as the old saying goes –- we Irish say, “You are your father’s daughter.” You are your father’s daughter.”

    Bob Dole’s story is a very American one. Born and raised in a three-room house through the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Shipped out as a young man to World War Two. Wounded in battle on the same weekend that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was being mourned by millions. Bob came home, rebuilt his life, painful hour by painful day by painful week by painful month by painful year. Hearing he and Danny Inouye, who was wounded on a mountain not far from where he was, talk about the recovery they spent together for all those, literally, several years — it was astounding.

    God, what courage Bob Dole had.

    He then went to school on the GI Bill; came to Washington with the New Frontier; bravely voted for civil rights and voting rights in the years of the Kennedys, Lyndon Johnson, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Ran for President on the ticket with Gerald Ford.

    And through the ages of Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush the elder, and Clinton, Bob was literally the master of the Senate. We served together for 25 years. We disagreed, but we were never disagreeable with one another, not one time that I can think of.

    I found Bob to be a man of principle, pragmatism, and enormous integrity. He came into the arena with certain guiding principles that began with devotion to country, to fair play, to decency, to dignity, to honor, to literally attempting to find the common good. That’s how he worked with George McGovern to fight hunger in America, particularly as it affected children, and around the world.

    He worked with Teddy Kennedy and Tom Harkin to bring down the barriers of Americans living with disabilities –- a profound change and profound act of grace.

    He worked with Daniel Patrick Moynihan to literally save Social Security because Bob believed every American deserved
    to grow old with their basic dignity -– basic dignity intact.

    And over the opposition of many in his own party and some in mine, he managed the bill that created the federal holiday in the name of Martin Luther King, Jr. Bob Dole –- Bob Dole did that.

    He never forgot where he came from. And I never forgot what he said to our colleagues about the effort for the King holiday. And I’ll quote — he said, “No first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens.” “No first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens.”

    Bob didn’t hate government. He knew the people who needed him most are the people most in need. He wanted government to work — to work for folks like him who came up the hard way. “Just give everybody a chance, Joe. Just a chance.”

Wounded in battle on the same weekend that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was being mourned by millions. Bob came home, rebuilt his life, painful hour by painful day by painful week by painful month by painful year. Hearing he and Danny Inouye, who was wounded on a mountain not far from where he was, talk about the recovery they spent together for all those, literally, several years — it was astounding.

    God, what courage Bob Dole had.

    He then went to school on the GI Bill; came to Washington with the New Frontier; bravely voted for civil rights and voting rights in the years of the Kennedys, Lyndon Johnson, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Ran for President on the ticket with Gerald Ford.

    And through the ages of Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush the elder, and Clinton, Bob was literally the master of the Senate. We served together for 25 years. We disagreed, but we were never disagreeable with one another, not one time that I can think of.

    I found Bob to be a man of principle, pragmatism, and enormous integrity. He came into the arena with certain guiding principles that began with devotion to country, to fair play, to decency, to dignity, to honor, to literally attempting to find the common good. That’s how he worked with George McGovern to fight hunger in America, particularly as it affected children, and around the world.

    He worked with Teddy Kennedy and Tom Harkin to bring down the barriers of Americans living with disabilities –- a profound change and profound act of grace.

    He worked with Daniel Patrick Moynihan to literally save Social Security because Bob believed every American deserved
    to grow old with their basic dignity -– basic dignity intact.

    And over the opposition of many in his own party and some in mine, he managed the bill that created the federal holiday in the name of Martin Luther King, Jr. Bob Dole –- Bob Dole did that.

    He never forgot where he came from. And I never forgot what he said to our colleagues about the effort for the King holiday. And I’ll quote — he said, “No first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens.” “No first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens.”

    Bob didn’t hate government. He knew the people who needed him most are the people most in need. He wanted government to work — to work for folks like him who came up the hard way. “Just give everybody a chance, Joe. Just a chance.”

    And Biden’s comments were spot on too bad he didn’t write them.

    It is a bunch of bullshit piled high for brainwashed retards like you to gobble down, and I stand by the comment that Biden is of much more sound mind than you are, you geriatric old fool.
