WATERTOWN, Wis. — President Joe Biden visited a small town in western Wisconsin Thursday to talk up his infrastructure and energy spending in the swing state at a local electrical supply company.

The visit to the Dairy State, his first since stepping out of the presidential race, was on official presidential business and unconnected to the Harris-Walz campaign — but that didn’t stop Biden from mentioning his “predecessor” Donald Trump several times during his twenty-five-minute speech.

Besides bashing the ex-prez at the top of the GOP ticket, Biden appeared to have many other presidents on his mind Thursday.

When announcing his $7.3 billion in grants for rural electric co-ops in Wisconsin, he declared it “the most significant investment for rural electrification since FDR’s New Deal.”

Later he placed himself among another American presidential great, telling attendees that he’s done more to modernize transportation than anyone “since Eisenhower.”

“…he’s done more to modernize transportation than anyone “since Eisenhower.””

A legend in his own mind.

Can anybody think of a single thing he did? I can’t.

Biden is in Wisconsin campaigning and Kamala is practicing public speaking in Pennsylvania. Who is running our country? Valarie Jarrett? Big Mike?

This time he stopped short of comparing himself to Jesus and God.

This time. Stay tuned.

Unless a majority of American voters come to realize that any vote for any Democrat anywhere anytime is a vote to destroy the American nation, then the American nation and freedom itself will be lost.

There’s a bridge in town that’s essentially been on big steel sawhorses tor 20 years. I’m wondering when it wiill be shovel-ready, or Built Back Better.

WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT? I have yet to see any huge bridge-building in the Baltimore harbor, after the Francis Scott Key bridge was collapsed in March 2024. All kinds of grand plans have been drawn up, but there are probably court battles for the next ten years before the issues can be resolved and the first girders are in place.

And that is just one 0f the more prominent issues. Thousands more lie in some file cabinet, still not acted upon.

“The first co-op to be chosen was Dairyland Power Cooperative in La Crosse, Wisconsin, which has been awarded $579 million to purchase solar and wind power, putting the co-op on track to slash its carbon emissions by over 70% by 2031.”

https://www.electric.coop/electric-co-ops-win-7-3-billion-in-new-era-funding-for-clean-energy

quotes:

Dairyland Power Cooperative

This New ERA investment will be used by Dairyland to procure 1,080 megawatts of renewable energy through four solar installations and four wind power installations across rural portions of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois. This nearly $573 million investment is the first New ERA award. Dairyland’s electric rates are estimated to be 42 percent lower over 10 years than they would have been without New ERA funding, and they plan to leverage this funding for a total project investment of $2.1 billion. The Dairyland project will also include a Farmer Benefit Plan and Union Engagement Plan, which the cooperative will develop with support from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Clean Energy Community Initiative.

This award will reduce pollution by an estimated 3 million tons of greenhouse gas annually or 90 million tons over the lifespan of the projects. That reduction is the equivalent to taking 729,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road every year.

From this award, the cooperative’s carbon intensity will reduce by 66 percent and its ratio of renewable electricity will increase by 45 percent.

Four years and $4 billion got us SEVEN EV chargers.

Four years and $4 billion got us ZERO high speed internet connections.

Twenty years and $100 billion got us ZERO miles of railroad track laid in California.

In the meantime, for far less, Musk launches a couple of big reusable rockets to orbit every week.

I compare Biden to FDR and Woodrow Wilson all the time. Bad judgement and Dementia had to be hidden from the public for all three of them. For Biden, the coverup continues.

“Biden trashes Trump in Wisconsin visit, comparing himself to ... Eisenhower for infrastructure investments”

uh, yeah, just like obama’s “[not] shovel ready projects”, i haven’t seen squat done around here for the printed trillions the U.S. borrowed from the FRB ...

for example, Colorado AND THE NATION are in desperate need of a third bore added to the I-70 Eisenhower tunnel, which runs under the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains, and not one penny from those trillions borrowed by either President has been allocated for such an essential infrastructure project ... and ironically, not only would such a project improve commerce and safety, but would actually reduce CO2 emissions from fuel wasted as hundreds of cars and trucks wait in line during high congestion times ...

“WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT?“

Exactly!!!

His stupid followers believe this nonsense - as they drive through the same old ripped up roads and never-ending “construction” zones where nothing much is ever going on - except delayed traffic…

They honestly believe that all this work is being done - out there… somewhere..

Oh no! - it wasn’t money being paid to the unions (for a large kick-back)!!!! Oh no!!

At least Biden didn’t put up a million “I am the GOAT” signs at all the stalled and idle construction sites like O’bastard did.
