President Joe Biden will visit Alabama on Sunday to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the landmark Bloody Sunday march that galvanized the Civil Rights movement and helped lead to an expansion of voting rights.
Biden’s stop in Selma comes as he and fellow Democrats struggle to pass their own sweeping voting rights measures, with dim prospects of passage in a Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Still, Biden plans to make fresh calls for new voting protections when he speaks from the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where in 1965 a group of civil rights marchers were beaten by White state troopers as they attempted to cross. The president will participate in the yearly walk across the bridge to commemorate the events, which sparked outrage and helped rally support behind the Voting Rights Act. Among the protesters beaten was the late US Rep. John Lewis. Aside from its place in history, Selma is also still recovering from devastating tornadoes that struck two months ago. It’s not Biden’s first time attending the anniversary events in Selma; in 2020, during his run for the presidency, he spoke at historic Brown Chapel AME Church as he worked to court Black voters ahead of Super Tuesday. “We’ve been dragged backward and we’ve lost ground. We’ve seen all too clearly that if you give hate any breathing room it comes back,” he said in his speech then. Biden would go on to win the Democratic nomination and the presidency, due in large part to his support from Black voters. Last year, Vice President Kamala Harris represented the administration at the anniversary event. She said she and Biden had “put the full power of the executive branch behind our shared effort” while criticizing Republican lawmakers for voting to block passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. She called on those gathered at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge “to continue to push the Senate to not allow an arcane rule to deny us the sacred right.” On Sunday, Biden plans to “talk about the importance of commemorating Bloody Sunday so that history cannot be erased,” according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “He will highlight how the continued fight for voting rights is integral to delivering economic justice and civil rights for black Americans,” she said. Bloody Sunday commemorates when, in 1965, 600 people began a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, demanding an end to discrimination in voter registration. At the Edmund Pettus Bridge, state and local lawmen attacked the marchers with billy clubs and tear gas, driving them back to Selma. Seventeen people were hospitalized and dozens more were injured by police..said at a White House ceremony. “You’re everything our nation aspired to be. You’re everything our nation is at our best. Brave and big-hearted, determined and devoted, selfless and steadfast. American.”.By.Starting with the 2020 passage of the CARES Act, Congress gave Biden and his predecessor authority to shovel trillions of dollars out the door for various types of pandemic-era stimulus payments. Unfortunately, it was far too much authority, especially by the time they got to the last installment — Biden’s completely unnecessary 2021 American Rescue Plan, which squandered $1.9 trillion after the economy and the job market were already well on their way to recovery..

Didn’t he march in that? CNN and Fox News lie to us about everything Has Biden visited the victims of East Palestine? Or would that go against licking the balls of Blackrocks policy? Asking for all of the Ohio victims He will have no idea where he is or why. Will he get on stage and lie again about his role in fighting for civil rights too? Or talk about his racist past?

And I’m sure he will make a hateful, divisive speech, accusing people of wanting to bring back “lynchings,” put African Americans “back in chains” or other such nonsense like he has done in the past. He is no leader. He is pathetic. All for the cameras. Joe was unabashedly a segregationist. his buddies George Wallace and Robert Byrd were who the Republicans were fighting to get the bill passed.

Biden-backed Willow Project is destined for years of legal wranglingPresident Joe Biden finds himself stuck between environmental concerns and the need for energy independence. He can do both. Not exactly, you are interpreting it wrong. Conoco has held these permits since 1999. These tracts have been set aside since Harding in 1923. Every agency has approved. If Biden turns this down, Conoco will go to court and win billions.
