President Biden touts growing economy, shows support for people of Ukraine | USA TODAY

President Biden focuses on Ukraine, economy in State of Union and says we will 'be okay'

The president's State of the Union address spanned everything from the economy to prescription drug prices, but the Ukraine invasion took center stage.

With his Build Back Better social-spending agenda stalled in Congress, the White House hoped to use the primetime speech to introduce his historic Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and jump-start his domestic agenda.

But then Russia President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. With Russian troops bearing down on Ukraine's capital amid a rising death toll, Biden led his speech with the escalating conflict in Eastern Europe, hailing the unified response by the U.S. and its Western allies.

“In the battle between democracies and autocracies, democracies are rising to the moment," Biden said. "Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people. He'll never extinguish their love of freedom."

    5. Seeing Alot of success stories, he’s must be honest and trustworthy for people to talk this good about him.

  7. Dear God, please watch over the Audits, let the truth come out, and justice prevail, in Jesus’ name!

  8. Growing economy? Who’s economy? Kamala Harris even said that “You people voted for this and you got what you asked for”… our economy for the first time in American history is comparable to African countries.

  9. I’m afraid this war between Ukraine and Russia might affect banks. Can anyone here tell me how I can get the best guide on how to make good return off my 120K sitting in the bank? I’m open to all suggestions. God bless

    1. A financial advisor is not just someone who helps with investments. Their job is to help you with every aspect of your financial life. You could work with a financial advisor without having them manage your portfolio, all you need is just to follow his or her guides.

    2. @Elizabeth Green Knowing whether to hold onto an investment or selling it can be a challenging decision. There is no universal, one-size-fits-all strategy for selling an investment. Instead it’s up to the individual investor’s investment strategy based on many factors including their risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial goals

    3. @Elizabeth Green The truth remains that there is no shortage of financial literature about when to buy an investment, but determining a strategy for holding or selling off is also important. Investors must consider several factors before buying or selling an investment, including how much risk they’re willing to take and when they’ll need the money

    4. I’m not surprised seeing people talk about her here. my financial journey with her started months ago. The guides she gave me has been working perfectly ever since then. Today I have portfolio worth 250k; which I achieved partnering with her.
