But it doesn’t mean just to make things up that never happened to make you sound more like your audience.

'Things are changing so rapidly that the next 10 years will be the decisive decade of this century. Because they're going to shape what the world looks like, and the values that will guide it - not just for the immediate future but for generations to come,' Biden said in his commencement address to the Naval Academy.Biden, in his remarks, tore into Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jingping.

Sparks flew between former President Donald J. Trump and Kellyanne Conway who served as senior White House counsel during his historic tenure at the nation’s helm, vehemently disagreeing with a claim in her new book which was released this week. Conway, who was also Trump’s 2016 campaign manager has been hitting the media circuit to promote her tell-all account of her tumultuous time in the administration. She raised the ire of her ex-boss with her account that she told him that he had lost the 2020 election, a contest that Trump continues to contend wasn’t on the up-and-up.

Translation: Gun-control legislation.
As reported by CNN, McConnell met with Cornyn early Thursday and encouraged the senior senator from Texas to begin discussions with key Democrats, including Sens. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, to see if they can find a middle ground on legislation.
