Trump inherited a booming economy — and handed Biden a nation 'in shambles' https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-inherited-booming-economy-handed-biden-nation-shambles-n1255033
Senate Democrats just confirmed their 4th judge this week, marking 225 confirmations under Biden Harris Administration
ELECTIONS MATTER
These 225 confirmations highlight Democrats’ work filling judicial vacancies with highly qualified, diverse candidates who help ensure the fair and impartial administration of the American justice system. Notably, Democrats accomplished this feat in part during the longest 50-50 split in Senate history, followed by our soon-to-end narrow majority.
In comparison to other presidents’ entire terms, this Senate has confirmed more women of color to the bench and more Black women to judgeships than any other president. We have confirmed more Black women to circuit court judgeships than all other presidents combined.
But this is about more than just statistics. These judges are already protecting the rights of all Americans from the bench. Below are just a few examples.
District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby blocked the implementation of newly drawn Baltimore County Council districts, finding that the new map disadvantaged Black voters and thereby violated the Voting Rights Act.
Seventh Circuit Judge Doris Pryor cast the deciding vote in 2023 as part of a 2-1 decision finding that a lower court erred in tossing out a sex trafficking victim’s lawsuit against Salesforce, the software company that hosted a website on which she was trafficked. A Trump-appointed judge wrote a dissenting opinion.
And District Court Judge Cristina Silva threw out a challenge to Nevada’s Election Worker Protection Act, a bipartisan law that criminalizes attempts to intimidate, threaten, coerce or harm election workers.

Congressman Matt Gaetz,
Occasionally takes to Twitter to post anti-Semitic conspiracy theories
He took the time to discredit Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post journalist who was dismembered by a hacksaw before he actually died, by Jared Kushner's buddies https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2018/10/18/florida-rep-matt-gaetz-is-a-terrible-person
He shared a video, with zero context or background, showing a random person handing cash to people in a crowd. He then recklessly questioned if this was another effort from Jewish billionaire George Soros,
Gaetz's aides once wrote a bill with help from a conspiracy theory subreddit devoted to white nationalism--Wired later discovered that a Gaetz staffer had crowd sourced ideas for the amendment on a subReddit forum which happens to be a cesspool of alt-right activity https://www.wired.com/story/republican-staffer-the-donald-resolution/
Gaetz’s record reveals an arrest for drunk driving --He didn't have his license suspended for a year when he refused the breath test — as Florida law dictates. And he didn't have that refusal used against him in a criminal proceeding. Charges against Gaetz were dismissed after events that included, among other things, the forced resignation of the arresting officer. https://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/lawmakers-talk-of-mug-shot-raises-questions-about-dui-arrest/2166023/

House Speaker Ray Sansom, a friend of Don Gaetz for whom Matt had worked as a legislative aide during law school. In April 2009, Sansom was indicted on corruption charges, accused of tweaking the state budget to funnel more than $25 million to Northwest Florida State College in Niceville. Of those funds, $6 million was earmarked to build a hangar at the Destin airport for a jet company owned by one of Sansom’s friends and donors, real estate developer Jay Odom. Odom was also a client of Matt Gaetz, who handled Odom’s hangar lease. (In 2013, Odom would be sentenced to six months in prison for illegally funneling $23,000 into former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s failed 2008 presidential campaign.

13. China's exit piles on to a devastating 2019 for farmers, who've struggled through record flooding and droughts that destroyed crop yields, and trade war escalations that have lowered prices and profits this year.
**SUMMARY**
Before hostilities escalated in 2017, the U.S. was China's top agricultural supplier for 18 years running, relying on the nation for almost 20% of its farm goods imports amounting to $24 billion a year.And that's where China has been exposed by the trade war.
**Imports from the U.S. tumbled 45% in 2018** as the two countries hit each other with tariffs. Beijing slapped retaliatory levies ranging from 5% to 60% on almost all American farm goods including soybeans, pork and corn. The duties **gave Beijing crucial leverage over Washington, prompting Trump to announce a $28 billion bailout for farmers faced with a devastating loss in business. But they also forced China to search for supplies elsewhere.**

How Domestic Terror Attacks Helped Putin, Netanyahu And Bush JR Gain Popularity & Win Elections...America Brace Yourself
Netanyahu’s popularity reasonably sank in the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion and slaughter of 1,200 Israelis. But it began rebounding in late November. After National Resilience Party leader Benny Gantz resigned from Netanyahu’s government in June, Netanyahu steadily rose in Direct Polls tracking polls—leading Gantz and Opposition leader Yesh Atid Party head Yair Lapid by double digits in head-to-head matchups. In the intervening months, the gap between Netanyahu and his rival has grown steadily.
On Sunday, two days after Israel eliminated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Direct Polls published the results of its latest tracking poll for Channel 14. It found that for the first time since Oct. 7, the parties comprising Netanyahu’s governing coalition have an outright majority in Knesset seats. If elections were held today, the government would be re-elected.

The bombings, together with the Invasion of Dagestan, triggered the Second Chechen War. The handling of the crisis by Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister at the time, boosted his popularity greatly and helped him attain the presidency within a few months.
