- He's concerned about his political future, not his party or the country
- Supported ( not actively participated in ) Hunter's influence peddling schemes (. immoral, not illegal )
- Biden hates half of Americans and regularly calls them white supremacists - he lied about unifying the country
- His son Hunter should have been prosecuted by DOJ for FARA violations but wasn't by Biden DOJ
- Biden claimed in 2020 when he ran he was "a bridge to the future" with Kamala - a one term President was the implication
- Biden deceived voters to win the primaries - Bidens clear limitations to work were hidden by his team intentionally
- Biden's record vs Trump's record loses on every issue that matters to voters
- Biden's policies beat Trump clearly on abortion and LBGQ, the same as Trumps on social security, Medicare, healthcare
- Biden's other policies ( except Ukraine ) all clearly lose to Trump: economy, real incomes, inflation, NATO, foreign policy, Israel, Iran, terrorists, peace, China, Russia, trade, economy, crime, open borders, education, homelessness,
- Until the first debate with Trump, fact checkers caught 60% of Biden lies and false claims - now it's 99%

- Democrats went after Trump with made up charges to prevent him winning in 2024
- Matt Colangelo from DOJ prosecuted Trump with NY DA for a made up charge: "the legal hush money was really an attempt to influence 2024 election not for personal or business protection" < Supreme Court ruled the case against Trump did not stand so convictions will be thrown out correctly
- Georgia case on 2020 election tampering challenge showed corrupt Georgia DA in court rulings
- NY case on business fraud for bank loans where there WAS fraud on loan forms by Trump team BUT no harm with all loans repaid normally
- first time a prosecution for a crime that had no victims and the banks did not want to prosecute but continue to loan Trump

Policy and program expectations for Harris and Trump
Wapo 082224- The reinvention of Kamala Harris
Harris herself, with Biden’s support, began focusing less on perilous political tasks like tackling the cause of immigration and seized instead on issues such as abortion and racism,
Harris appeared frustrated by repeated questions about why she had not yet visited the U.S.-Mexico border
She traveled the country warning that not just abortion rights but also an array of other freedoms were under threat

Over the weekend, an unprecedented terror attack by Hamas led to Israel declaring a state of war, mobilising 300,000 reservists and ordering a “complete siege” of Gaza.

The twilight of “Pax Americana” started under Barack Obama, accelerated under and has not been reversed by , despite his staunch support for Ukraine. Many countries in the West are similarly distracted by their own internal problems. Conflict and aid fatigue appears to be setting in.

The rules-based global order may have unfairly benefited the G7 group of rich countries but at least everyone knew where they stood.

In 2022, Biden created a "parole" program to let MONTHLY up to 30,000 illegal aliens from those four countries ( CHNV ) to the United States WITHOUT any legal approval from Congress to enter the United States on two-year periods of parole, complete with the promise of employment authorization and, ultimately, access to government benefits.
US Immigration Laws - details
...
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) was enacted in 1952. The INA collected many provisions and reorganized the structure of immigration law. The INA has been amended many times over the years and contains many of the most important provisions of immigration law.
The INA is contained in the United States Code (U.S.C.). The U.S. Code is a collection of all the laws of the United States. Title 8 of the U.S. Code covers "Aliens and Nationality."
The tables below show INA sections and their corresponding U.S. Code section. To ensure accuracy, USCIS links to the official U.S. Code prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives.
This massive surge in illegal migration — over and above Congress’ limits in the INA — will quickly become unsustainable absent significant tax increases or drastic cuts in government funding for public benefits, housing, education, and healthcare. By law, Congress, not the president, gets to decide who is allowed to come here and who must be kept out. It’s well past time that Congress reasserts that authority.

NYT assesses Trump, Biden Immigration Claims
...
Biden on Trump reaction to a school shooting >> do you think Biden is accurate?
After another school shooting in Iowa recently, he said — when asked what to do about it — he said, ‘Just get over it.’”
What Trump ACTUALLY said:
Trump offered his “support and deepest sympathies” to the victims of the school shooting. “We’re really with you as much as anybody can be. It’s a very terrible thing that happened. It’s just terrible to see that happening,” Trump said. “That’s just horrible. It’s so surprising to see it here.”
...
Biden false claim on taxes billionaires pay
As he has said many times before, Biden claimed that billionaires pay an average federal tax rate of 8.2%, less than the rate paid by “a teacher, a sanitation worker, or a nurse.” But that’s not the average rate in the current tax system; it’s a White House calculation that factors in earnings on unsold stock as income.

one demographic shift that's causing all sorts of problems for Social Security has to do with the rate of immigration into the United States.
Social Security is a program that's heavily reliant on people legally migrating into the U.S. each year. Most people who move to the U.S. tend to be younger, which means they'll spend decades in the labor force. Social Security collects approximately 90% of its annual revenue from the 12.4% payroll tax on wages and salaries (up to $168,600 in 2024).
the net migration rate for the U.S. per 1,000 people has fallen from 6.48 in 1998 to 2.748 in 2023, representing a nearly 58% drop in legal net immigration.
With the U.S. population reaching nearly 340 million in 2023, a net migration rate of 2.748 per 1,000 people translates to roughly 934,300 net legal migrants entering the United States. The 2023 Trustees Report bases its $22.4 trillion funding shortfall estimate on average annual net immigration of 1.245 million people through 2097. In other words, a continued decline in the legal net migration rate will almost certainly result in a larger expected funding obligation shortfall over the coming 75 years.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is funded via the General Fund.
SSI also, on occasion, provides income to people seeking asylum in the United States. Traditional Social Security provides no benefits whatsoever to undocumented workers.

Biden Policies Now
https://joebiden.com - NOT a policy site ONLY fundraising
...
President Biden will deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grapples with converging crises. This will include actions to control the COVID-19 pandemic, provide economic relief, tackle climate change, and advance racial equity and civil rights, as well as immediate actions to reform our immigration system and restore America’s standing in the world.
President Biden will move to contain the COVID-19 crisis <<< OLD news - not relevant now there are vaccines, treatments and insurance coverage
Climate directions. << should not put a date that is more important than all other impacts
The Biden Administration will create good-paying, union jobs to build a modern and sustainable infrastructure, deliver an equitable clean energy future, and put the United States on a path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050.
Racism and identity politics are always more important than building consensus together << equality good. equity bad
every American has an equal chance to get ahead, yet persistent systemic racism and barriers to opportunity have denied this promise for so many.
Open borders program on immigration << no limits at all – little vetting allowing most illegals in
Biden’s strategy is centered on the basic premise that our country is safer, stronger, and more prosperous with a fair and orderly immigration system that welcomes immigrants, keeps families together, and allows people across the country—both newly arrived immigrants and people who have lived here for generations—to more fully contribute to our country.
Foreign policy << a few key actions stood out but little improvement in our key alliances anywhere and failure to confront our adversaries effectively
rebuilding democratic alliances across the globe, championing America’s values and human rights, and
Improving American economic competiveness in world economy << Chips act, American Recovery Act, Infrastructure Act step in the right direction
equipping the American middle class to succeed in a global economy.
