Thank you, President Biden.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2025/01/thank-you-president-joe-biden.html

As expected, the Presidency of Joe Biden has been one of the best administrations in modern American history. His numerous accomplishments, coming out of what was the single worst presidency in history, are being recognized as much as is possible by a muted, somnolent, mainstream media that has become corporately owned and billionaire biased, focusing on sensation rather than fact. Five decades in public service, knowing how to get things done and make government work, the Biden Administration will be especially noted for reversing the damage and destruction done by the incompetent, inept, incapable Trump. Contrast with that, on either side of his administration now, will simply amplify how good Biden actually looks.

There are some personal benefits which the Biden administration achieved that I find noteworthy, because they address personal needs of my own and are a demonstration of a president who cares about people more than raising money to be re-elected. One of those things is getting insulin prices capped at $35 a month for senior adults. That directly affects me. The price of insulin is ridiculously high, mostly due to profiteering. I hope this restriction on prices lasts, because there is no way I would be able to afford insulin otherwise, it is too expensive.

There are long lists of Biden's political accomplishments that will be part of the historical record. But there is something that Americans need to learn, once again, how to value in the people they choose as leaders, and it is something that many of them have set aside, either as a result of their own ignorance, or a deliberate choice to be ignorant, that is still part of what I consider to be the moral qualification of a President. And that's a person's integrity.
