Joe Biden. I love this man. I honor this man. He gave 50 years of political life to us to help make our lives better. I do not understand why certain journalists and tv networks are attacking him.

He is so right.
Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.
What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

The next 4 years will be horrific for immigrants.
Please follow the steps below if you are an immigrant or send it to any immigrant you know. I’m afraid anyone who just looks like an immigrant will be caught up in this process.

Love the vocal and sax interpretations.
One of my favorite combinations. Here’s Jimmy Witherspoon & Ben Webster performing ‘Ain’t Nobody’s Business’ in 1962 with the Vince Guaraldi trio. Jimmy’s voice and Ben’s playing is peak soulfulness #jazzsky #bluessky #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/oFk80zFNkNY?...
