The Biden Administration can claim a clean sweep of objectives for the American people.

Listening to an online segment of a podcast by political expert Rachel Bitecofer the other day, I understand clearly that one of the big differences in politics now, from even thirty years ago, is the proliferation of literally thousands of different sources of information. It is virtually impossible to get media saturation, which means that there is a ton of misinformation, and a lot of just plain ignorance of what is going on. Unless something is hugely sensational, a majority of the population, all equipped with several electronic devices and access to hundreds of sources of information, and mis-information, won't know about it.

It's that lack of competent, factual information, delivered with journalistic standards for accuracy and truth, that has led to the very false impression that the country is headed in the wrong direction. That's just rhetoric. The facts prove otherwise.

I'm just a blogger, a professional in the education field, an amateur journalist because I got a minor in English with some courses in journalism, edited my college newspaper for two years, and worked in small market radio for a while. But I think this is worth putting out there, with some links, in this narrow window of time before the election, because I haven't really seen any news coverage that wraps this up.

The Biden administration has been successful in resolving everything that has been raised as an issue in this campaign. We've covered the legislative success he achieved when he had a cooperative Congress during his first two years. And I'm going to underline the relative success that was achieved by a mid-term election cycle in which the party in power held on to the senate, and while they did lose control of the house, the margin has been too narrow for any GOP advantage to develop. The Republicans did more to sabotage themselves than to own any libs.
