Despite unprecedented challenges, 2021 was a year of record progress for working families.
Jobs: President Biden’s first year was the greatest year of job creation in American history, with more than 6 million jobs created.
Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate dropped from 6.2% when Biden took office to 3.9%, the biggest single year drop in American history.
Unemployment Claims: The average number of Americans filing for unemployment has been near its lowest level since 1969. When the President took office, over 18 million were receiving unemployment benefits, today only 2 million are—also the biggest single year drop in history.
Economic Legislation Passed: Most significant by economic impact of any first-year president.
Child Poverty: Experts estimate the lowest child poverty rate ever in 2021.
Expanded Access to Health Care: Nearly 5 million Americans have newly gained health insurance coverage.
Reduced Hunger: The number of households reporting that they sometimes or often did not have enough food to eat dropped by 32%.
Judges Confirmed: More judges confirmed to lower federal courts than any president since President Kennedy.
Judges That Reflect Our Nation: More Black women appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals than any president – even over 8 years – in history.
Cabinet: First majority non-white Cabinet in history, with most women in the Cabinet, including first woman Treasury Secretary, first LGBTQ+ and Native American Cabinet officials, and first woman Director of National Intelligence.
Climate Investments: Largest investments ever in the power grid, electric vehicle chargers, and climate resilience.
Clean Water: Largest investment and national, bipartisan plan to get safe and clean drinking water to all Americans.
Cleaner Cars: Strongest vehicle emissions standards ever to save drivers money at the pump and reduce pollution.
Wind: First-ever approvals of large-scale offshore wind projects.
OK, BK — document your brilliant plan for a better new world order and send it to the White House. I’m sure they’ll be grateful and you will be a hero for saving the world.
Biden has brought NATO to be more united than ever in it’s history, along with the rest of Europe and Middle East. This, after tRump insulted our allies, threatened to quit NATO, pushed our friends out of his camera angles, quit the Iran nuclear deal, quit the Paris Agreement environmental accords, had Putin help him into the White House, made China’s Xi his “good friend” while continuing manufacturing of ‘tRump Enterprise’ products, his daughter having at least 6 copyrights in China during 2020 alone, and exchanging ‘love letters’ with Kim Jong-un, validating the previously unrecognized country for 76 years by actually stepping into North Korea while holding Kim’s arm.
And that just scratches the surface of the job Biden still has to do in cleaning up the mess that tRump made.
In the meantime in the real world, Biden has been doing a good job under trying circumstances.
Watching some of the Republicans trying to get gotchas with a woman far more intelligent than they are, how embarrassing for them. The only people that vote Republican are dumber than the people they are voting for. Which is incredible, because you wouldn’t think anyone could be dumber than they are.
I think the stoopid things Harris/Biden do on a near daily basis is not shown on MSNBC, CNN or PBS. The Harris “Passage of Time” speech or “New World Order” from Joe gets no airtime, hence the denial from GC deadenders here. America is in Deep Water right now; I sure hope things get better very soon. Sweeping the mid-terms rings hollow if the War goes nuke or chem/bio. The thought of Harris/Biden leading America in WW3 gives me a tingle up the body but not the Chris Matthews good kind. Hold on to your butts people it’s going to get bumpy.
Mr. Magoo doesn’t have blood on his hands? He did a ‘great’ job ‘leading’ us out of Afghanistan, showing our allies we are yellow bellied cowards who will abandon them. Crippling out economy and energy independence with his executive orders. . . remember when he said he had a plan to shut down the virus and now the economy and NOW he says it is too complex and can’t be fixed at a Federal level? Yea. . . let’s all follow Mr. Magoo as he wanders around. He will finish what Obama started, the collapse of the United States.
Fascinating how the TROLLS come out to defame the creator of a political cartoon! If a restaurant makes you ill don’t eat there. If a CARTOON makes you ill DON"T FOLLOW THE CARTOONIST! Simple, yes?
Well, that’s basically what Biden said. Here’s a couple more. When asked what he would do if Russia used chemical weapons, he replied he would “answer in kind”. Oh really? We’re going to use chemical weapons also? Don’t think so.
So Biden and his administration has repeatedly stated that we’re not putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. While visiting with the 82nd Airborne troops in Poland, just a few miles from the Ukrain border, Biden told them what they’ll see when they “go into Ukraine”. So just what do you think those soldiers thought when their Commander in Chief said they will be going into Ukraine? I know how I’d react in their place. I’m sure some of them turned to their buddies and said “did the President just say we’re going into Ukraine?” Way to go Joe.
I’m pretty sure Biden didn’t say anything like that. And if you think The Former Guy could have possibly rallied the world against Putin, you’re delusional.

It is kind of scary, that for years, the “New World Order” was dismissed as a conspiracy theory. But, now Biden’s out there talking about it.
