Send our troops only where they are needed

 

What a concept?

Many of our ‘friend countries’ are preparing for an attack from the president of Russia because of the last ‘four American years’ of the United States lack of caring, so why have troops in countries where they are not welcome?

Our millionaires and billionaires can longer steal oil and other riches from Arab countries and our troops are needed more in countries unable to help themselves!

Countries like Belarus, Ukraine, and Georgia could end up back under the control of a ‘Soviet Union’ type of communist country unless they can get help?

Biden's plan to withdraw troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11 draws mixed reactions from Congress | The Spokesman-Review

I am a firm believer that we need to remove all of our troops from all of the countries that do not want our troops in their country!

Also

If Mitch McConnell is against it, it has to be good for our country and not for him!

American poet Emma Lazarus

 


The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land; here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she with silent lips. "Give me you’re tired, you’re poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

 


American poet Emma Lazarus (1849–1887).

She wrote the poem in 1883 to raise money for the construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World).[2] In 1903, the poem was cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal's lower level.

We the (Employers signaled our opposition to (THE GOP in CONGRESS!)

Maybe we the (EMPLOYERS), of the members of congress should now and it is about time, signaled our opposition to the GOP's insurance company to stop their coverage because we the (Employers signaled our opposition to (THE GOP in CONGRESS!)

Thank you President Biden for my social security stimulus payment, in spite of the battle with congress!

Will There Be More Stimulus Checks? Democrats' Plan for Recurring Payments Faces Uphill Battle (newsweek.com)

If you receive Social Security benefits, you could be in for a raise after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office. With COVID-19 dominating headlines throughout the election, Biden's Social Security plan wasn't exactly a hot topic. Much of the attention it did get focused on fixing the program's solvency issues for future recipients. 

But Biden has several proposals that would increase checks for people who currently receive Social Security benefits. Granted, with a divided Congress, he faces a tough battle. Still, expect the 46th president to advocate for these changes that could give your monthly checks a boost. 
 Biden's Build Back Better plan could hinder his ability to get the package through Congress.
Members of the GOP have already signaled their opposition to the White House's $3 trillion infrastructure plan and in the House, Biden can only afford to lose eight Democrats. For its passage in the Senate, he needs a unified Democratic caucus and 10 Republicans.

However, The New York Times reported Democrats may be looking at passing the measure without Republican support. Senator Chuck Schumer was reportedly exploring a way for them to use reconciliation to bypass Republicans and pass a package with a simple majority, as they did for the American Rescue Plan.
