Hi Linda,
You seem to have gone all quiet and not responded to the ‘Syria’ information so I’ll assume that you agree Biden was NOT invading Syria and the trucks were a normal movement as part of Operation Resolve.
Good.
Let’s move on to your next point. You said:
Where American stimulas check he promised first thing in office.
My response:
The new President has been in office for a week. The second stimulus checks should have mostly already gone out.
I hope this update (from Tomsguide) gives you an update on the timeline for the third checks which are more generous than the first 2.
Third stimulus check update today (Jan. 28)
An update on the status of a third stimulus check is expected now that President Joe Biden is in office. The 46th president, whose Democratic Party holds the majority in both chambers of Congress, said in a speech earlier this month that sending out more relief money would be an early priority of his administration as the pandemic continues to impact the country.
“We will finish the job of getting a total of $2,000 in cash relief to people who need it the most,” said Biden while unveiling his $1.9 trillion relief plan last week. “The $600 already appropriated is simply not enough.”
Meanwhile, the second stimulus check should have already arrived for most eligible taxpayers. Jan. 15 was the last day by which the IRS had to get payments mailed or deposited.
If you haven’t received your check, you might have to claim it on your next tax returns using the Recovery Rebate Credit. You can check the status of your second stimulus check using the Get My Payment tool on IRS.gov.
In addition to direct payments, Biden’s relief bill framework provides aid for small businesses, resumes federal supplements to people receiving state unemployment benefits and gives money to institutions that are at the forefront of combating the coronavirus.
The proposal also includes both a $300 federal unemployment supplement, as well as $300 billion for small business assistance, which includes Paycheck Protection Program loans.
As Covid-19 vaccines continue to be distributed, the deal also includes funding for distribution of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. The government hopes that every American that wants to be vaccinated can do so by summer 2021.
Third stimulus check date: What’s the timeline?
The timeline of the third stimulus check will begin to take shape once legislation for Joe Biden’s proposed relief plan is introduced in the House of Representatives.
In the best-case scenario, the House and Senate would quickly pass the plan with little negotiation, and the president could sign off on the bill soon afterward. However, it’s more likely that lawmakers will spend time debating the cost and allocations of the relief bill.
Will talks face the same delaying tactics and about-faces as they did with the second stimulus check plan? Perhaps not, because Democratic leaders in Congress are united in support for new stimulus checks. But unless Democrats use a special legislative shortcut, the relief bill will need the support of at least 10 Republican senators to avoid a bill-blocking filibuster.
Seems to me Linda that Biden is doing as much as he can to get this money out to the people who need it – just like he promised. Will there be enough Republican senators to support it Linda?
Update.
CNN – January 29th 2021
President Biden is continuing to chase a bipartisan deal over his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief proposal, but White House officials privately acknowledge the bill will need to be pared down to secure Republican support after GOP lawmakers balked at the price tag.
It’s not clear how much the White House will be willing to lower the price tag and whether that will be enough to secure Republican support. And even as they acknowledge that reality, Biden administration officials and congressional Democrats are increasingly skeptical a bipartisan deal can be reached.
Seems that the republicans don’t want to help you Linda.

Errm…..
Sorry Linda but you seem to be constantly in RANT mode.
Can you settle down a bit my dear and write using a bit more grammar please.
Now, exactly which of these Executive orders didn’t you like?
Linda, you seem to be quoting lots of numbers without substantiating any of them.
As an example take the 11,000 jobs lost that you keep referring to from the Keystone pipeline in Alaska.
Actually, it’s NOT 11,000
Read this
Bottom line.
The 11,000 ‘jobs’ you referred to were all temporary and actually equated to approximately 3,900 jobs over a two-year period.
The number of PERMANANT jobs that were lost in maintaining the pipeline is 35.
Now Linda,a job is still a job but to say outright that 11,000 jobs have been lost isn’t true, is it? The 11,000 jobs is referred to constantly in extreme radical right wing media. Surprise surprise.
Perhaps Linda, you might instead want to think about Biden’s plan to create 10 MILLION jobs in the green energy sector, a plan which some of those Executive orders addresses. Yes Linda, paperwork comes before action. That’s how any government works.
Unless of course, your religion is coal, gas and oil as opposed to solar, wind and hydro.
Is that your religion Linda? Do you want the planet to survive Linda, or don’t you mind if it boils?

Rant. Nope..just boring to point out.
Real life has debate ,Opinions, ideas suggestions, bias, right, wrong, yes or no, left or right. No one, or thing ever perfect..or right. Consensus..what for, Whom for, what matters, important, and fair for the common good of the life and freedom for us all in the U.S.A.
Reason we have a democracy of people who have representatives who represent voice of the people in the big house!
Own Democrats asking for slow down of orders. Paper all well and good..making into law , tweaking laws, changing wording, tears down the original purpose for freedom and Constitution. Has a process goes through before laws can be changed. Making own decisions without his house knowledge. This is a singular person who has few standing behind..A FEW. And this a DICTATOR IN THE MAKING.
47 years what has he done? Oh god don’t bother. It b s. Anyways.
