POLITICS: The thing is that for as much as US Joe Biden has accomplished as President of this country, his opponent, Donald Trump has kept pace by committing what rolls out as an equitable number of errors. It's true that when Joe Biden was adorned with the 'Predident's Medal of Freedom;' that's a recognition of honor, integrity in one's contribution to the nation and society as he sought to match the height of those distinguished with great valor and soundness of ethics, Donald Trump was received the 'sword of domiciles'--that's what happens when division, dishonesty and derision exceed where integrity runs short.

On the evening that had been anticipated more than each of the past 2 years that US President Joe Biden delivered the State of the Union address, the moment was, without question, one that captivated audiences at home and around the world. President Biden's SOTU speech, on March 7, delivered as much power and purpose as any past or future debate might render. The SOTU speech, in its towering breadth and width, renders to Biden an, albeit, inherent authority that cannot be overshadowed by the competition.
"It's not hyperbole...history is watching. ..children and grand children eill read about what we do." Biden mentioned Latoya Beasley and the Beasley family's accession to IVF and the family's plan to, agsin, choose IVF as an option for child bearing. Biden mentioned the assault on freedom that attempts to remove women's reproductive rights through the revision of Roe v Wade. In support of IVF child bearing, Biden stated, "Let's stand up for families like her's. Let's not keep this... ( IVF as a lawful option to child bearing) ...waiting any longer."

While one of the United States most fierce opponents of democracy and the rule of law now faces off with President Biden in the 2024 election, in his speech, Biden mskes it clear just who the opponent of American democracy is-- one who would take action to oppose a lawful political process in the form of a violent attack on the US government's and tge people's most revered and solemn grounds st the U.S. Capitol, January 6, 2021. During his speech, President Biden emphasized the significance of the United States status of integrity stating "... political violence has no place in America...zero place."
Beyond the moments that were so magnanimously approving and so over-laced with applause--when there had been any such moment in the space of President Biden's more than 75 minute speech--President Biden was equipped with comments on infrastructure and more.
Certainly, the accomplishments and actions of any president are valuable to the people of tge United Ststes. While tge accomplishments if the Biden- Harris administration are quite note worthy, President Niden , also, highlighted a number of points undertaken by his administration.
