Joe Biden should read up on the history of American political and military interventions, regime changes and electoral interference worldwide.
After only five months in office, President Joe Biden has already become notorious for his verbal gaffes and mis-spokes, so much so that an admittedly Republican-partisan physician has suggested that he be tested to determine his cognitive abilities. That said, however, there is one June 16th tweet that he is responsible for that is quite straightforward that outdoes everything else for sheer mendacity. It appeared shortly after the summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and was apparently intended to be rhetorical, at least insofar as Biden understands the term. It went: “How would it be if the United States were viewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly of other countries and everybody knew it? What would it be like if we engaged in activities that he engaged in? It diminis
Nach nur fünf Monaten im Amt ist Präsident Joe Biden bereits berüchtigt für seine verbalen Ausrutscher und Fehltritte, so sehr, dass ein zugegebenermaßen republikanisch-parteiischer Arzt vorgeschlagen hat, dass er getestet werden soll, um seine kognitiven Fähigkeiten zu bestimmen.

The 1921 Tulsa Massacre – a White mob of about 1,000 killed 300 Blacks and wounded hundreds, and destroyed the Black business district and countless homes, displacing thousands – reminds us that racism wasn’t just in the Deep South. I’d assumed that as a Illinois pupil in the 1950s and ’60s, hearing about 1964’s Civil Rights Act and 1965’s Voting Rights Act. We read about Reconstruction and its “carpetbaggers,” but not how Congress tried to reconcile post-war North-South friction by sacrificing ex-slaves to Jim Crow discrimination. We heard about Crispu
