President Biden has protected:
President Obama's N. Atlantic Marine Monuments (protects fish stocks and whales)

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska from oil and gas development
Tongass Rain Forest in S.E. Alaska
The Cooper River Watershed and Bristol Bay in Alaska

failing. Tell me how is Joe B. @ fault for a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan, Joe Manchin's
fealty to the fossil fuel industry, or idiots who refuse to get vaccinated because they read Russian
produced lies on Facebook or hear crap on hate radio or Fox News.
