It’s Monday.
There are 3 more days until I’m on vacation.
For Monday, November 8th, 2021, President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden have arrived back at the White House after traveling to their beach house in Delaware. After his arrival, President Biden received his daily brief. This afternoon President Biden will welcome the 2021 NBA Champions the Milwaukee Bucks.
President Biden has tweeted 1 time so far for Monday; To be fair most likely any tweets for Monday will be shared down thread…
When Biden Bits was published for Sunday, President Biden had tweeted 2 times. He added 3 tweets giving him a Sunday tweeting total of 5 tweets and 0 retweets. As mention in the Biden Bits Sunday link, President Biden offered remarks on the recently House passed Bipartisan Infrastructure bill.
The YouTube is 31 minutes and 59 seconds long. His full remarks can be found here.
President Biden: It’s going to modernize our ports and our airports — and I’m going to be going to some of our ports next week — and to freight rail, increasing that as a re- — I mean, look, we have a — we have bottlenecks across the country. We’re doing so much with this legislation. It’s going to make it easier for companies to get goods to market more quickly and reduce supply chains’ bottlenecks and now — and now and for decades to come.
On Saturday the White House published a fact-sheet on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal:
- Upgrade our nation’s airports and ports to strengthen our supply chains and prevent disruptions that have caused inflation. This will improve U.S. competitiveness, create more and better jobs at these hubs, and reduce emissions. Decades of neglect and underinvestment in our infrastructure have left the links in our goods movement supply chains struggling to keep up with our strong economic recovery from the pandemic. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will make the fundamental changes that are long overdue for our nation’s ports and airports so this will not happen again. The United States built modern aviation, but our airports lag far behind our competitors. According to some rankings, no U.S. airports rank in the top 25 of airports worldwide. Our ports and waterways need repair and reimagination too. The legislation invests $17 billion in port infrastructure and waterways and $25 billion in airports to address repair and maintenance backlogs, reduce congestion and emissions near ports and airports, and drive electrification and other low-carbon technologies. Modern, resilient, and sustainable port, airport, and freight infrastructure will strengthen our supply chains and support U.S. competitiveness by removing bottlenecks and expediting commerce and reduce the environmental impact on neighboring communities.
President Biden: It’s going to create jobs replacing lead and — lead water pipes so every American, every child can drink clean water, improving their health and putting plumbers and pipefitters to work. How long have we been talking about that? It’s a gigantic issue.
- Deliver clean water to all American families and eliminate the nation’s lead service lines. Currently, up to 10 million American households and 400,000 schools and child care centers lack safe drinking water. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will invest $55 billion to expand access to clean drinking water for households, businesses, schools, and child care centers all across the country. From rural towns to struggling cities, the legislation will invest in water infrastructure and eliminate lead service pipes, including in Tribal Nations and disadvantaged communities that need it most.
MONDAYS 1ST TWEET:
There is no real quote from remarks to text tweet; we move right to the linked above fact-sheet:
- Build a national network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers. U.S. market share of plug-in EV sales is only one-third the size of the Chinese EV market. That needs to change. The legislation will invest $7.5 billion to build out a national network of EV chargers in the United States. This is a critical step in the President’s strategy to fight the climate crisis and it will create good U.S. manufacturing jobs. The legislation will provide funding for deployment of EV chargers along highway corridors to facilitate long-distance travel and within communities to provide convenient charging where people live, work, and shop. This investment will support the President’s goal of building a nationwide network of 500,000 EV chargers to accelerate the adoption of EVs, reduce emissions, improve air quality, and create good-paying jobs across the country.
- Upgrade our power infrastructure to deliver clean, reliable energy across the country and deploy cutting-edge energy technology to achieve a zero-emissions future. According to the Department of Energy, power outages cost the U.S. economy up to $70 billion annually. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal’s more than $65 billion investment includes the largest investment in clean energy transmission and grid in American history. It will upgrade our power infrastructure, by building thousands of miles of new, resilient transmission lines to facilitate the expansion of renewables and clean energy, while lowering costs. And it will fund new programs to support the development, demonstration, and deployment of cutting-edge clean energy technologies to accelerate our transition to a zero-emission economy.
- Make our infrastructure resilient against the impacts of climate change, cyber-attacks, and extreme weather events. Millions of Americans feel the effects of climate change each year when their roads wash out, power goes down, or schools get flooded. Last year alone, the United States faced 22 extreme weather and climate-related disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each – a cumulative price tag of nearly $100 billion. People of color are more likely to live in areas most vulnerable to flooding and other climate change-related weather events. The legislation makes our communities safer and our infrastructure more resilient to the impacts of climate change and cyber-attacks, with an investment of over $50 billion to protect against droughts, heat, floods and wildfires, in addition to a major investment in weatherization. The legislation is the largest investment in the resilience of physical and natural systems in American history.
The White House has published a new fact-sheet seen after I used the one from Saturday…
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will invest $7.5 billion to build out the first-ever national network of EV chargers in the United States. The deal is also a critical element in the Biden-Harris Administration’s plan to accelerate the adoption of EVs to address the climate crisis and support domestic manufacturing jobs. The deal will provide funding for deployment of EV chargers along highway corridors to facilitate long-distance travel and within communities to provide convenient charging where people live, work, and shop – and funding will have a particular focus on rural, disadvantaged, and hard-to-reach communities.Clean Energy Transmission
White House.gov. 11/08/2021.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal’s more than $65 billion investment is the largestinvestment in clean energy transmission and the electric grid in American history. It upgrades our power infrastructure, including by building thousands of miles of new, resilient transmission lines to facilitate the expansion of renewable energy. It creates a new Grid Deployment Authority, invests in research and development for advanced transmission and electricity distribution technologies, and promotes smart grid technologies that deliver flexibility and resilience. It also invests in demonstration projects and research hubs for next generation technologies like advanced nuclear reactors, carbon capture, and clean hydrogen.
President Biden weighed-in on #BigBirdGate…
I tried y’all. I really did. But when you see tweets like this…
This is the video he mentions the “canary in a coal mine” statement with Corona typewriters and obvious CGI effects too. Canary’s also have multiple species that are YELLOW > Big Bird. https://t.co/lPfigeEpGf

That led to tweets like this…
3. Think we have our BIG BIRD 👀, BIG ‘Y’ellow Bird. At least 1.

Your hope that humanity can be saved leads to thoughts like this…
Or this…
And to be honest, I read the thread and still have no idea what the fuck it means…
Apparently the loser that started this #BigBirdGate…
Is it propaganda?
Probably.
But, does that make the Bird a…
The obvious answer is no. This type of PSA aka propaganda is as old as time; at least my time. The goal with the tweets from Sesame Streets characters not limited to the yellow bird…
Are simply a tool given to parents to explain that getting a vaccine is not something to be scared of, since you know, Big Bird could do it, so can they.
I did find some tweets that worked toward restoring my faith in humanity…
Okay maybe not faith in humanity restoring more like they just made me LOL…
