Biden’s remarks to a joint session of Congress will give him a chance to trumpet his administration’s accomplishments during his first year in office and lay out policy goals for the coming year.

A prominent Democratic strategist urged Biden to use the opportunity to offer Americans hope for better days.

“What Americans want to hear is genuine understanding of what we have been through together and a clear path forward – less about Mr. Biden’s accomplishments than about the heroic, unsung sacrifices so many have made to see their families and communities through,” David Axelrod, who helped shape many of President Barack Obama’s addresses to Congress, wrote in an op-ed in The New York Times.

Biden’s speech won’t be his first major address to Congress. Three months after taking office, Biden struck an optimistic tone during a joint session of the House and Senate last April. That speech wasn’t technically a State of the Union address.

Lord, Change My Name (3)

Yes, you may also need this transformation now to become what God wants you to be. Yes, you may be looking okay physically, but on the inside, privately, you know that all is not well with you. You need touch on your character, attitudes, inadequacies, hindrances and shortcomings. There are impediments that need to be uprooted from your life, so that you can become what God wants you to be. It may even be sickness or a stubborn problem. You can’t believe, for some, it is their anger, their stubbornness, their talkativeness, unfaithfulness or their laziness that has stopped them from climbing up or having a sustained relationship, marriage, job, career or spiritual growth. This must change today in the name of Jesus! That Jacob must be changed to Israel! You cannot attain completeness until it is done. Jacob could not. And you must wrestle like him until God does it. Another man called Jabez in the scriptures understood this and became blessed more than everybody around him. His circumstance of birth and name affected him negatively, but he refused to accept that and prayed until God changed it.

What Is a “Blood in the Streets” Moment?

The quote “buy when there is blood in the streets” was coined by Baron Rothschild from the 18th century after the panic that ensued after the Battle of Waterloo against Napoleon. At that time, there was literally blood in the streets in the aftermath of a war. In present time, this expression can be interpreted as “buy when there is the most pessimism”. Why is this important? This moment is when prices are at their absolute lowest. Risk is at its lowest and reward is at its highest, since prices will likely move up the farthest from the lowest point.

What Is Retirement In The 21st Century?

This is the 21st century. In 2021, people are living longer. In part because medical care is much better than it was for our parents, but also because people are taking better care of themselves.
