PRESIDENT BIDEN TAKES OFF THE GLOVES: FASCISM HAS NO PLACE IN AMERICA!!

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

The gloves are off at last!! - And I'm proud to say that I was there when it happened.

On Thursday, September 1, 2022 President Joe Biden decided to make it official and call a spade a spade - by saying FASCISM HAS NO PLACE IN AMERICA.  Yes!! Just what we've all been waiting for.  The President was live, and in living color in Philadelphia, PA - the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, addressing several hundred selected guests and a bevy of media from all over the country, and livestreamed across the nation.  I don't know who was more excited - the audience or me.  The info had already been leaked that he was going to take a stand against the growing trend to establish an  authoritarian dictatorship under the maggot/maga repuglycons, set in motion by ersatz "president" T-rump.

And President Biden did not disappoint as he held forth on the danger facing us all in the wake of January 6, 2021, and the increasing threat America. 

As usual, I am providing my annotated transcription of President Biden's speech, hoping to convey the power behind his words.  As most of my followers are aware, I don't do sound bytes.  I'm totally committed to your getting the full impact of the President's speech.  I truly hope I have done him justice.

Some notes: Where President Biden says "MAGA" - I have inserted "maggot."  Where he says "Republican," I have inserted "repuglycon" - an acronym meaning reprehensible, repulsive, ugly, underhanded, unscrupulous, con artists and contrarians - which more appropriately depicts the negativity these miscreants epitomize. 

I have also put the most salient points of the President's address in ALL CAPS, and those that really should be remembered, and quoted widely in FEDERAL BLUE - as stand alones that can and should be remembered and repeated.   - for our youth and for the adults who are responsible for getting out there and making sure this MIDTERM IS A DECISIVE LANDSLIDE IN FAVOR OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND FOR SAVING THE SOUL OF AMERICA.

As an African American,  former educator, historian, activist, and writer, I see President Biden's speech as a defining moment in history, in much the same way  as Lincoln's  Gettysburg address.  I think it should be regarded in that same manner.  The tragedy of our current educational system is that most of our schools no longer offer CIVICS classes.  As a result our youth have little to no knowledge of the constitution, their rights, what their government does, and other essential information.  This ignorance is, in part, responsible for the rise we are witnessing in fascist behavior today.   Civics, along with history, ethics, vocational education, and other essentials must to be reinstated to our educational system immediately.  Students, and a great many adults, need to learn, first hand, what our President and this country truly stand for; not the perfidious machinations of miscreants like T-rump, DeSantis, McConnell, Graham and others of their ilk who lie, distort, and subvert information for their own negative ends.   

 

The slide down the ooze of destruction has been abetted by the meanstream media for far too long. They've been giving T-rump free publicity under the guise of being news - also known as propaganda.   Important information has been relegated to soundbytes - devoid of the true context and importance.  While President Biden gets 5 minutes on the meanstream media, T-rump gets 15 to 20 minutes - over and over ad nauseum.  But not me! Not ECLECTICALLY BLACK NEWS!!!  Now is the time to really focus in on the fact that as Black journalists,  it's all our responsibilities to refute the lies and write the truth.   I'M asking my fellow journalists, bloggers, pundits, etc.  - to stop the madness and deal with the fact that if we don't get this right, if we don't begin to send out the message, expose the lies - the BS  about the duplicitous, lying nature of the former incumbent- we will all be goose stepping, under the heels of  a maniacal fool who thinks it's amusing to spread lies, pit people against each other, steal government secrets, and start riots - all because he is bent on establishing a dictatorship in America.  

 

We have to tell the truth and shame the devils.  This may be the last time - we have to drive the point home to our readers in every publication, every news article we write about the predator in chief.  That's our job - our role as BLACK journalists.  MAKE SURE OUR READERS KNOW THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THEY CAN DO IS REGISTER, VOTE AND TURN OUT EN MASS FOR THE MIDTERM ELECTION - THE ELECTION WHICH WILL MAKE OR BREAK THEM, AS WELL AS THIS NATION - IF WE DON'T MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A CLEAR MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS - BOTH THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPS - WE ARE DOOMED.  EVERY TAG OF EVERY ARTICLE THAT GOES OUT FROM US OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS MUST SAY "OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES MATTER!"

 

KUDOS TO PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR TAKING THE GLOVES OFF!!

 

:President Joe Biden at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA - Fascism has no place in America

 

 

As the band played "HAIL TO THE CHIEF" PRESIDENT with FIRST LADY JILL BIDEN at his side, emerged from the motorcade to Independence Hall park, to address the nation:

"My fellow Americans:  I speak to you tonight from Sacred Ground in America - Independence Hall in the City of Philadelphia.  This is where America made it's Declaration of Independence to the world - that was nearly three centuries ago.  It was an idea unique among nations - an  America where all are created equal.  This is where the United States Constitution was written and debated.  This is where we set in motion the most extraordinary experiment in self government the world has ever known with three simple words "WE, THE PEOPLE." WE THE PEOPLE - these two Documents and the Ideas they embodied: equality, democracy are the rock upon which this nation is built.  They are how we became the greatest nation on earth. They are why, for more than two centuries, America has been a beacon to the world. 

"I came here tonight because EQUALITY AND DEMOCRACY ARE UNDER ASSAULT!  We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.  So tonight, I come to this place, where it all began, to speak as plainly as I can to the nation; as plainly as I can about the threats we are facing as a nation; about the power we have in our own hands to meet these threats; and about our own incredible future, the lives in front of us, if only we choose it.

"We must never forget WE, THE PEOPLE ARE THE TRUE HEIRS OF THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT that began more than two centuries ago.  WE, THE PEOPLE have burning inside of each of us the flame of Liberty that was lit here at Independence Hall - the flame that lit our way through our revolution, civil war, sufferage, the great depression, world wars, Civil Rights.  That sacred flame still burns.  Now, in our time, as we build an America that is more prosperous, free and just, that is the work of my presidency - a mission I believe in with my whole soul.

"But first, we must be honest with each other - and with ourselves.  Too much has been happening today that IS NOT NORMAL.  Donald T-rump and the Maga(maggot) Republicans (repuglycons) represent an extremism that threatens the very foundation of our republic.  And I want to be very clear - very clear up front - that not every Republican (repuglycon), not even the majority of Republicans are Maga (maggot) repuglycons.  Not every republican embraces their extreme ideology.  I know because I've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans (repuglycons).  There's no question that the Repuglycon party today has been dominated, driven, intimidated by Donald T-rump and the maga (maggot) repuglycons.  That is a threat to this country.

"These are hard things!  But I'm an American President - I'm not the President of Red America, Blue America, but of all America.  I believe it is my duty - my duty to level with you; to tell you the truth, no matter how difficult; no matter how painful. 

"And here, in my view, is what is true:  The maga (maggot repuglycons) republicans do not respect the Constitution.  They do not believe in the rule of law; they do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election.  And working right now, as I speak in state after state to get power to decide elections in America according to their cronies; empowering election denyers, and to undermine democracy itself.   Maggot forces are determined to take this country backwards - backwards to an America where you have: No right to choose;

No right to privacy

No right to contraception

No right to marry who you love

They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice; to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.

"They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 brutally attacking law enforcement, not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger at the throat of our democracy, but as 'patriots!  And they see their MAGA/maggot failure to stop the peaceful transfer of power, after the 2020 election, as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.  They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people.  This time they're determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people.  That's why respected conservatives, like federal circuit court judge Michael Luttig, has called T-rump an extreme maggot repuglycons - 'a clear and present danger to our democracy.'

"While the threat to American Democracy is real, I want to say as clearly as we can: 

WE ARE NOT POWERLESS IN THE FACE OF THESE THREATS. 

WE ARE NOT BYSTANDERS IN THIS ONGOING ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY. 

THERE ARE FAR MORE AMERICANS  - FAR MORE AMERICANS!!! - FROM EVERY BACKGROUND AND BELIEF WHO REJECT THE EXTREME MAGGOT/MAGA IDEOLOGY, THAN THOSE WHO ACCEPT IT!!! 

And folks!  It's in our power, it's in our hands  - yours and mine -  to STOP THE ASSAULT ON AMERICAN DEMOCRACY!  I believe America is at an inflection point.  One of those moments that determine the shape of everything that's to come after it.  And now AMERICA MUST CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD or TO MOVE BACKWARDS. To build a future or to obsess about the past.  To be a NATION OF HOPE AND UNITY AND OPTIMISM, or a nation of fear, division, and of darkness.   The maggot repuglycons have made their choice - they embrace anger, they thrive on chaos, they live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies.

But together, together we can choose a different path.  WE CAN CHOOSE A BETTER PATH  - FORWARD TO THE FUTURE - FUTURE OF POSSIBILITY; A FUTURE TO BUILD AND DREAM AND HOPE.  AND WE'RE ON THAT PATH MOVING AHEAD. 

I know this nation.  I know you, the American People.  I KNOW YOUR COURAGE; I KNOW YOUR HEARTS, AND I KNOW OUR HISTORY.  This is a nation that HONORS OUR CONSTITUTION.  We do not reject it.  This is a nation that believes in the rule of law.  We do not repudiate it.  This is a nation that RESPECTS FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS.  WE HONOR THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.  WE DO NOT DENY IT!!

This is a nation that REJECTS VIOLENCE AS A POLITICAL TOOL.  We do not encourage violence.  WE are still an America that believes in HONESTY,  DECENCY, AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS. 

Patriotism, liberty and justice for all - hope!! These are still possibilities - WE'RE STILL AT OUR CORE A DEMOCRACY. 

And yet, history tells us that blind loyalty to a single "leader," and the willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to a democracy.   For a long time we told ourselves that our American Democracy is guaranteed.  But it's NOT.  WE HAVE TO DEFEND IT!!! PROTECT IT!!! STAND UP FOR IT!!! EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.

That's why tonight, I'm asking our nation to COME TOGETHER UNITE BEHIND THE SINGLE PURPOSE OF DEFENDING OUR DEMOCRACY, REGARDLESS OF YOUR IDEOLOGY.  

DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, MAINSTREAM AMERICANS MUST BE DEPENDED UPON ABOVE ALL ELSE TO STAND UP FOR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.    WE'RE ALL CALLED BY DUTY AND CONSCIOUSNESS TO STAND UP TO EXTREMISTS WHO PUT THEIR OWN PURSUIT OF POWER ABOVE ALL ELSE.  Democrats, Independents, Mainstream Republicans  we must be stronger, more determined and more committed to saving American Democracy, than maggot repuglycons are bent on destroying American Democracy. 

WE, THE PEOPLE WILL NOT LET ANYONE, OR ANYTHING TEAR US APART.  Today there are dangers around us. WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO PREVAIL.  We hear, you've heard it - more and more talk about violence as an acceptable political tool in this country.  IT'S NOT!! IT CAN NEVER BE AN ACCEPTABLE TOOL!!!

So I want to say this, plain and simple:  THERE'S NO PLACE FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN AMERICA - PERIOD!!! NONE!!! EVER!!!  (thunderous applause - and I heard myself shout AMEN!!) 

You saw law enforcement brutally attacked on January 6th.  You've seen elected officials, poll workers - many of them volunteers from both parties - subjected to intimidation and death threats.  And, can you believe it? FBI agents - just doing their jobs as directed, facing threats to their own lives from their own fellow citizens.  On top of that, there are public figures today - yesterday, and the day before, predicting, and all but calling for mass violence and rioting in  the streets (Lindsay Graham springs to mind/GDW).  THIS is INFLAMMATORY!!  IT'S DANGEROUS!!  It's against the rule of law. 

And WE THE PEOPLE MUST SAY THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, YOU CAN'T BE PRO-INSURRECTIONISTS AND PRO AMERICAN!!  THEY'RE INCOMPATIBLE. 

WE CAN'T ALLOW VIOLENCE TO BE NORMALIZED IN THIS COUNTRY!!! IT'S WRONG!!!  We each have to reject political violence with all the moral clarity and conviction this nation can muster.  NOW!!  

WE CAN'T LET THE INTEGRITY OF OUR ELECTIONS BE UNDERMINED; FOR THAT IS AN PATH TO CHAOS. 

Look, I know politics can be fierce, mean and nasty in America.  I get it!!  I believe in the give and take of politics; in disagreement and debate and descent.  We're a big, complicated country.  BUT DEMOCRACY ENDURES ONLY IF WE, THE PEOPLE RESPECT THE GUARDRAILS OF THE REPUBLIC.  ONLY IF WE, THE PEOPLE ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS; ONLY IF WE, THE PEOPLE SEE POLITICS - NOT AS TOTAL WAR, BUT THE MEDIATION OF OUR DIFFERENCES  - DEMOCRACY CANNOT SURVIVE WHEN ONE SIDE BELIEVES THAT THERE ARE ONLY TWO OUTCOMES TO AN ELECTION:  EITHER THEY WIN, OR THEY WERE CHEATED!!  That's where the maggot repuglycons are today.  They don't understand what every patriotic American knows: YOU CAN'T LOVE YOUR COUNTRY ONLY WHEN YOU WIN!  IT'S FUNDAMENTAL!

American Democracy only works, only if we choose to respect the rule of law, and the institutions that were set up in this Chamber behind me.  Only if we respect our legitimate political differences. 

NOTE:  The entire time the  President was speaking, there were hecklers with loud truck horns and megaphones trying to taunt him and disrupt his speech.  In the back of my mind I wished the police would have gone out and stopped them - but then, we all know that would have been a T-rump maggot/maga move. 

.

I WILL NOT STAND BY AND WATCH - I WILL NOT ALLOW THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE BE OVERTURNED BY WILD CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND BASELESS EVIDENCE RECLAIMING EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.  I WILL NOT STAND BY AND WATCH ELECTIONS IN THIS COUNTRY STOLEN BY PEOPLE WHO SIMPLY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THEY LOST! 

I WILL NOT STAND BY AND WATCH THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM IN THIS COUNTRY DEFEATED - THE FREEDOM TO VOTE! AND HAVING YOUR VOTE COUNTED BE TAKEN FROM YOU - AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!  (at this moment, I feel it my duty to reiterate this is the time for President Biden to sign an EXECUTIVE PROCLAMATION RESTORING AND PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND TO VACATE ALL STATE LAWS THAT WOULD SERVE TO BLOCK OUR FRANCHISE - immediately, if not sooner - GD-W).

AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I WILL DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING AND I'M ASKING EVERY AMERICAN TO JOIN ME!!!

Throughout our history, Americans have often made the greatest progress coming out of some of our darkest moments like you're hearing on that bull horn (hecklers on the outside were becoming louder and louder).  I believe we can and must do that again - and we are.  Maggot repuglycons look at America and see carnage and darkness, and despair.  They spread fear and lies  - lies told for profit and power. 

But, I see a different America.  AN AMERICA WITH AN UNLIMITED FUTURE.  AN AMERICA THAT'S ABOUT TO TAKE OFF.  I hope you see it as well.  Just look around. I believe we can lift America from the depths of Covid, so WE PASSED THE LARGEST ECONOMIC RECOVERY PACKAGE SINCE FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, AND TODAY AMERICA'S ECONOMY IS FASTER, STRONGER THAN ANY OTHER ADVANCED NATION.  AND WE  HAVE MORE TO GO!!

I BELIEVE IN THE BUILD BETTER AMERICA, SO WE PASSED THE BIGGEST INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT SINCE PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER; AND WE NOW EMBARK ON A DECADE OF REBUILDING THE NATION'S ROADS, BRIDGES, HIGHWAYS, PORTS, WATER SYSTEMS, HIGH SPEED INTERNET, RAILROADS.

I BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE AMERICA SAFER, SO WE PASSED THE MOST SIGNIFICANT GUN SAFETY LAWS SINCE PRESIDENT CLINTON.

I BELIEVE WE CAN GO FROM BEING THE HIGHEST COST FOR PRESCRIPTIONS IN THE WORLD, TO MAKING PRESCRIPTIONS, DRUGS AND HEALTHCARE MORE AFFORDABLE; SO WE PASSED THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HEALTH CARE REFORM SINCE PRESIDENT OBAMA SIGNED THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. 

I BELIEVE WE CAN CREATE A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE AND SAVE THE PLANET, SO WE PASSED THE MOST IMPORTANT CLIMATE INITIATIVE - EVER! EVER! EVER! 

The cynics and the critics tell us nothing can get done.  But they're wrong!  THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING THAT AMERICA CANNOT DO!  NOT A SINGLE THING BEYOND OUR CAPACITY!!!  IF WE DO IT TOGETHER!!

It's never easy.  But we're proving in America NO MATTER HOW LONG THE ROAD, PROGRESS DOES COME!!

I know the last few years have been tough.  But today Covid no longer controls our lives.  MORE AMERICANS ARE WORKING THAN EVER.  BUSINESSES ARE GROWING, AND OUR SCHOOLS ARE OPEN.  MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE BEEN LIFTED OUT OF POVERTY.   MILLIONS OF VETERANS, ONCE EXPOSED TO TOXIC BURN PITS WILL NOW GET WHAT THEY DESERVE AND THEIR FAMILIES WILL GET DESIRED COMPENSATION. 

America's manufacturers have come alive across the heartland; and  the future will be MADE IN AMERICA.  No matter what the white supremacists (Whites with delusions of supremacy) and the extremists (racists) say. 

I MADE A BET ON YOU, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THAT BET IS PAYING OFF - PROVING THAT FROM DARKNESS - THE DARKNESS OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, OF COVID, OF GUN VIOLENCE AND INSURRECTION - WE CAN SEE THE LIGHT.  LIGHT IS NOW VISIBLE.  LIGHT THAT WILL GUIDE US FORWARD. NOT ONLY WORDS,  BUT IN ACTION - ACTION FOR YOU! FOR YOUR CHILDREN! FOR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN!  FOR AMERICA!! 

Even in this moment, with all the challenges we face, I GIVE YOU MY WORD AS A BIDEN, I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN I EVER HAVE ABOUT AMERICA'S FUTURE.  Not because of me, but because of who you are. 

We're going to end cancer as we know it!! Mark my words.   We're going to create millions of new jobs in a clean energy economy.

WE'RE GOING TO THINK BIG!  WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE 21st CENTURY ANOTHER AMERICAN CENTURY!!! BECAUSE THE WORLD NEEDS US TO.  THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR ENERGY.  NOT ON THE PAST; NOT ON DIVISIVE CULTURE WARS; NOT ON THE POLITICS OF GRIEVANCE - BUT ON A FUTURE WE CAN BUILD TOGETHER. 

The maggot/maga repuglycons believe that for them to succeed, everyone else has to fail.  They believe America - not like I believe about America -

I BELIEVE THIS NATION IS BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US TO SUCCEED - AND THAT IS THE NATION WE'RE BUILDING:  THE NATION WHERE NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND.

I ran for President because I BELIEVE WE'RE IN A BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF THIS NATION. 

I STILL BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE.  I BELIEVE THE SOUL IS THE BREATH,THE LIFE, AND THE ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE.  THE SOUL IS WHAT MAKES US US!! THE SOUL OF AMERICA IS DEFINED BY THE SACRED PROPOSITION THAT ALL ARE CREATED EQUAL IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.  THAT ALL ARE ENTITLED TO BE TREATED WITH DECENCY, DIGNITY AND RESPECT.   THAT ALL DESERVE JUSTICE, AND A SHOT AT LIVES OF PROSPERITY AND CONSEQUENCE.  AND THAT DEMOCRACY MUST BE DEFENDED, FOR DEMOCRACY MAKES ALL THESE THINGS POSSIBLE. 

And it's up to us.  Democracy begins, and must be preserved. WE THE PEOPLE CARRY IT IN THE HABITS OF OUR HEARTS, THROUGH OUR CHARACTER,  OPTIMISM THAT IS TESTED, YET ENDURES.  COURAGE THAT DIGS DEEP WHEN WE NEED IT.   EMPATHY THAT FUELS DEMOCRACY.  THE WILLINGNESS TO SEE EACH OTHER, NOT AS ENEMIES, BUT AS FELLOW AMERICANS.  

 

As I mentioned hecklers tried to disrupt Biden's speech, with bullhorns and loudspeakers, but the President appeared unmoved and noted they were only able to have their freedom of expression, which may differ from his/ours, because in a Democracy, Americans are allowed freedom of speech and expression.  Under a maggot/maga-led situation, bullies probably would have gone out and tried to silence them through physical intimidation. 

Look, our Democracy isn't perfect.  It always has been -- notwithstanding those folks you hear out there  (referring to the hecklers with the bullhorn trying to disrupt the event) - they're entitled to be outrageous; this is a democracy (President Biden got a standing ovation for this statement).  But history and common sense and good manners is something they've never suffered from (LOL).  But history and common sense tells us that opportunity, liberty and justice for all are most likely to come to pass in a Democracy.   We've never fully realized the aspirations of our Founding - but every generation has opened those doors a little bit wider, to include more people who were excluded before. 

"My Fellow Americans, America is an Idea - the most powerful Idea in the history of the world - and it beats in the hearts of the people of this country.  It beats in all our hearts.  It unites America.  It is the American Creed - the idea that America guarantees that everyone be treated with dignity.  It gives hate no safe harbor.  IT INSTILLS IN EVERYONE THE BELIEF THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU START IN LIFE, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE!! THAT'S WHO WE ARE!  THAT'S WHAT WE STAND FOR! THAT'S WHAT WE BELIEVE! AND THAT'S PRECISELY WHAT WE'RE DOING.  OPENING DOORS! CREATING POSSIBILITIES! FOCUSING ON THE FUTURE!  AND WE'RE ONLY JUST BEGINNING!!

"Our task is to make our nation free and fair; just and strong; noble and whole!  And this work is the work of Democracy.  The work of this generation.  it's the work of our time - for all time!   We can't afford to leave anyone on the sidelines.  We need everyone to do their part. So speak up! Speak out! Get engaged!

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! 

AND IF WE DO OUR DUTY IN 2022 AND BEYOND, THEN AGES STILL TO COME WILL SAY WE - ALL OF US HERE - WE KEPT THE FAITH; WE PRESERVED DEMOCRACY; WE HEEDED NOT OUR WORST ENEMIES, BUT OUR BETTER ANGELS.

WE PROVED THAT, FOR ALL ITS IMPERFECTIONS, AMERICA IS STILL THE BEACON TO THE WORLD; AN IDEAL TO BE REALIZED! A PROMISE TO BE KEPT!  THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT; NOTHING MORE SACRED; NOTHING MORE AMERICAN. THAT'S OUR SOUL; THAT'S WHO WE TRULY ARE.  AND THAT'S WHO WE MUST ALWAYS BE.

I HAVE NO DOUBT - NONE - THAT THIS IS WHO WE WILL BE.  AND THAT WE'LL COME TOGETHER AS A NATION; AND WILL SECURE OUR DEMOCRACY THAT FOR THE NEXT 200 YEARS WE'LL HAVE WHAT WE'VE HAD FOR THE PAST 200 YEARS, THE GREATEST NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

We just need to remember who we are.  WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! AND MAY GOD PROTECT OUR NATION; AND MAY GOD PROTECT ALL THOSE WHO STAND WATCH OVER OUR DEMOCRACY.  GOD BLESS YOU ALL!  DEMOCRACY!

 

THANK YOU 

 

President and First Lady Jill Biden after his speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Thursday, September 1, 2022 - Historical speech that will go down in history.  FASCISM HAS NO PLACE IN AMERICA

 

As the President and First Lady exited the park, there was a buzz of excitement in the audience: "We have our marching orders!"  and "What a powerful message."  

 

As I said before, at the beginning of this transcription, "The gloves are off now!"  President Biden's inspiring words should be repeated and shared widely.   I personally think several are powerful  slogans, worthy of being put on a button or T-shirt, or a poster!! Such as "We're in a BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF THIS NATION!!"

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

  

Stay Blessed & 

ECLECTICALLY BLACK 

 

And remember to

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO

 OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES MATTER IN 2022
