First of all, I am here at Daily Kos for emotional support.
I also get emotional support, by the way, when I look at this website:
www.whitehouse.gov/…
That is a list of speeches and remarks, by our President.
Each title in that website, is the transcript of what our President said, on the occasion stated in that title.
Here is one of them:

Remarks by President Biden in Dawson Springs on the Response to the Tornadoes
Here is just the last part of that speech:
MS. BESHEAR: Well, as of this morning, we think that we have around 20,000 gifts donated. And we’ve got three more days to go.
THE PRESIDENT: Twenty thousand gifts so no kid is going to sleep — wherever they get to sleep tonight — without a gift. (Applause.) God love you.
And look, we also need to recognize that people have suffered mental and emotional injuries. The cost of this sometimes are unseen and unknown.
You know, people talk about post-traumatic stress in the battlefield as I traveled through Afghanistan and Iraq. Well, guess what? There’s a lot of post-traumatic stress that comes from lying in your house and all of a sudden the roof goes blowing off and you wonder whether your kids are around. I really mean it. So, you know — or the shock of losing a home and a business, the grief of losing someone.
It’s happening right before the holidays, as I said, and we’re going to make sure that you have all the help you need, including the kind of mental help that is needed to help people through difficult times.
And, folks, you know, FEMA has opened Mobile Disaster Recovery Centers in Mayfield and in Dawson Springs. And it has disaster survivor systems teams on the ground here in Kentucky to help people register for assistance.
As I said when I talked to the governor, not only that we’re going to get what you need, we’re going to make sure you know everything’s available, because you don’t always know all that is available — all that is available. And that’s what we’re going to do.
And, folks, you know, if you live in the affected areas, which all of you are standing here watching me do, you know you visit DisasterAssistance.gov — DisasterAssistance.gov or call 1-800-621-FEMA. That’s 1-800-621-3362.
I promise you: You’re going to heal. We’re going to recover. You’re going to rebuild. You’re going to be stronger than you were before. We’re going to build back better than it was.
And when I come back, I got one beautiful lady and her husband who promised me a meal. She’s apparently a hell of a cook, so I’m coming back for the meal.
So, thank you, thank you, thank you for being here.
And to all of the families here: Keep the faith. We’re going to get this done. I promise you, the governor is not walking away. Your county judge is not walking away. Your congressman is not walking away. No one is walking away. We’re in this for the long haul.
Thank you very much for your patience. (Applause.)
Reading his whole speech, and, especially reading for a second and third time, the portion I chose to copy and paste, that made me cry, just a little.
I said, I need emotional support.
Did you read that quote, from Joe Biden?
That is him, offering emotional support, to those who have been through the devastating tornadoes.
Emotional support.
With a website, and a phone number to call,
to get material support, and, emotional support.
Writing the diary gave me emotional support, with the research, and the reading, and the writing, it all helps me.
Maybe a few of you got some great feelings, feelings of confidence in our President,
and those who work for him.
So, give me some feedback, if this diary made you feel better, as it did me.
Thanks for reading.
