Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

The US Senate passed a historic, sweeping $1.2 trillion bipartisan package on Tuesday by a wide bipartisan majority vote of 69-30 to shore up the nation’s crumbling infrastructure with funding for priorities like roads, bridges, rail, transit and the electric grid.

The vote marks a major achievement for both parties and President Biden, fulfilling key agenda items, including his promise to work across the aisle. It now heads to the House of Representatives, where it faces an uncertain future, before it can be sent to Biden’s desk to be signed into law.

Vice President Kamala Harris gaveled the final vote.

These 19 Republican senators joined Democrats in voting for the bipartisan infrastructure deal:

1. Roy Blunt of Missouri
2. Richard Burr of North Carolina
3. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
4. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
5. Susan Collins of Maine
6. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota
7. Mike Crapo of Idaho
8. Deb Fischer of Nebraska
9. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
10. Chuck Grassley of Iowa
11. John Hoeven of North Dakota
12. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
13. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
14. Rob Portman of Ohio
15. Jim Risch of Idaho
16. Mitt Romney of Utah
17. Dan Sullivan of Alaska
18. Thom Tillis of North Carolina
19. Roger Wicker of Mississippi

... the deal is far from the finish line as it must pass Congress with the Democrats holding a small majority but momentum is building

.... in a stunning rebuke of the "great deal maker", the ex President who could not get any deal done, President Biden delivers his second key promise to the American people.

It is going to be hard for the majority of Congress to reject this deal when so much of its funding will benefit the Congress people's constituents directly for the long term.

Never underestimate the ability of people in power to put politics ahead of actually helping people.

That is because the democrats would not work with trump for the good of the country but the republicans ARE working with biden for the good of the country like it should be. There is common grounds for both sides and they should work together on those things.

World leaders blame Biden, express disappointment with Afghanistan


World leaders are speaking out about their disappointment with the security situation in Afghanistan, with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson going so far as to pin the blame on President Joe Biden and the United States.


Johnson said it was "fair to say the US decision to pull out has accelerated things, but this has in many ways been a chronicle of an event foretold," but urged western leaders to work together to prevent Afghanistan from again becoming a "breeding ground for terrorism."


"I think it is very important that the West should work collectively to get over to that new government - be it by the Taliban or anybody else - that nobody wants Afghanistan once again to be a breeding ground for terror and we don't think it is in the interests of the people of Afghanistan that it should lapse back into that pre-2001 status," Johnson told Sky News.


Other world leaders expressed disappointment about the unfolding situation, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying he is "heartbroken" by the crisis on the ground.


"We've been constantly monitoring the rapidly evolving situation," Trudeau said. "We are heartbroken at the situation the Afghan people find themselves in today."

Wow

Just weeks later, U.S. troops flew helicopters to the embassy in Kabul, rescuing diplomats as the Taliban stormed the building. Photos of the rescue eerily echo photos of the U.S. helicopters rescuing diplomats from the embassy in Saigon in 1975.

If a country's people won't defend itself than America will not occupy a failed country.

Canada will hold an early election next month. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hopes it will give his Liberal Party a majority in Parliament.
