"Ante la mirada de un mundo sobrecogido tras la invasión del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos, Amanda Gorman tomó la palabra a continuación del presidente Joe Biden. Era la poeta más joven que recitaba en una ceremonia de investidura, como antes lo hicieron Robert Frost o Maya Angelou, y cautivó a millones de personas que veían en ella la luz de una esperanza, y en los versos de La colina que ascendemos la inauguración de una nueva era."--

"On January 20, 2021, standing where only two weeks earlier police officers had battled with right-wing paramilitaries, Joe Biden took his oath of office. The American people were still sick with COVID-19, his economists were already warning him of an imminent financial crisis, and his party, the Democrats, had the barest of majorities in the Senate.

In November 2014, thirteen members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past forty years.

Almost no one thought Joe Biden could make it back to the White House--not Donald Trump, not the two dozen Democratic rivals who sought to take down a weak front-runner, not the mega-donors and key endorsers who feared he could not beat Bernie Sanders, not even Barack Obama. The story of Biden's cathartic victory in the 2020 election is the story of a Democratic Party at odds with itself, torn between the single-minded goal of removing Donald Trump...

"A Socialist in Sheep's Clothing. That's what Joe Biden is. "Ordinary Joe" bills himself as a unifying "moderate," but he's far more dangerous than many realize. In fact, he's on board with the extreme Left on every vital issue--from the "Green New Deal," to trampling on the constitutional rights of gun owners and Christians, to socialist schemes that threaten to turn the United States into Venezuela." --
