Studies show (click here) that high-functioning seniors like the president compensate for slower reaction time by applying superior knowledge and judgment. The presidency is not a job that requires lightning-quick reflexes. Time-tested judgment offers far more than speed in speech or decision-making....
Ageism (click here) involves stereotyping or discriminating against people based on their age and can occur both in the workplace and in your personal life. Ageism can be directed at older adults and young people alike. However, our culture tends to glorify youth, so older adults are more often the victims of age-based discrimination and negativity.
Ageism can take root early in life. Even as children, we begin to pick up on the idea that aging is an unsatisfying process and older adults are incapable of taking care of themselves. These messages can show up in the media we consume. Just picture commercials that promise to reverse “unsightly” age lines or television shows that depict older adults as clueless and frail. Ageist messaging can also be passed along through jokes and casual comments from family members and friends....
There are aspects of the USA media that are really terrible. They do not understand the Middle Class, except, to solicit their vote in anyway they can. They don't care to understand the vast difference in unions, minority opportunities and the American Middle Class since President Biden took office. They just want to find that Wall Street Look and have it dominate the media pages once again. You know, the gold plated American Express Card carrying American that works in some of the most menial jobs in this country. Those Wall Street types. Right? That would be so much better than this old man in the White House.

About 35 percent of the U.S. population is now age 50 or older. (click here) Yet, in 2018, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission — the nation’s workforce watchdog — issued a damning special report on age discrimination against older Americans. It concluded that even though 50 years had passed since Congress outlawed the practice, “age discrimination remains a significant and costly problem for workers, their families and our economy.”
Victoria Lipnic, the EEOC’s acting chair at the time, went so far as to compare it to harassment: “Everyone knows it happens every day to workers in all kinds of jobs, but few speak up. It’s an open secret.”...
President Biden is aware of American's concerns about his birthdate. He also has chosen one of the best Vice President's in the world. She is a remarkable human being and leads not only a country with dignity, but, a family of achievers. Every American has every reason to be proud of Vice President Kamala Harris and her Second Gentleman Douglas.

Joe Biden is a great president and First Lady Jill is remarkable. She carries her families concerns proudly in her day to day role with the President. They are both very remarkable people with a great deal of insight as to what the USA democracy means to the 54 percent of Americans identifying as Middle Class (click here).
The Plutocrats feel threatened. They are scared there might be less money in their pockets and the end to achieve the First Trillionaire might be in jeopardy.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR how a President as fine a person as Joe Biden is being demeaned in any way, shape, or form. He has a great deal of experience in the capacity of fighting the good fight. He knows what it takes to build alliances, make them stronger, and protect the freedoms Americans enjoy.
BEST OF ALL PRESIDENT BIDEN IS NOT A CRIMINAL!
NOR DOES HE WANT TO BE ONE BY CONSENT IN ORDER TO ENHANCE HIS PERSONAL GAINS IN LIFE.
The Ageism being practiced in some of the media in the USA is a disgrace and certainly is not appreciated anywhere in the rest of the world where aging is viewed as WISDOM.
The Second Gentleman (click here) delivers remarks at the Department of Labor’s Equity in Focus Summit on Thursday, September 22, 2022
Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff isn't just at his spouse's side to wave to the crowd, he is involved in promoting a good life for all Americans.
The "thing" about President Biden is that he is very aware of his differences, including his disability of stuttering. So, as a role model he is remarkable. There is opportunity for anyone in the USA, and he intends to be that example to all those that care about freedom and it's potential to bring all Americans to the table with the talent a country this size needs in order to move forward and tackle the hard problems facing it.
The American media needs to stop looking for problems with President Biden and seek out the remarkable achievements that are solely his to date.
What is the expression?
Oh, yeah. "We aren't getting older, we are getting better."
