Seldom in American history has a president so boldly insulted the American people, played demagogue, or taken us for fools – the way an audacious Joe Biden did in his beg-the-issues, bag-of-air State of the Union. Frankly, it was – the only word is mortifying.
If you did not hear it, he began by comparing himself to FDR in 1941. A starker contrast is hard to imagine. FDR faced real war, with thousands of Americans and allies dead, while Biden failed to deter our enemies, hemorrhages credibility with inaction, condemned tens of thousands of US allies to death by Taliban torture, killed Americans there with his incompetence, and bowed to Iran and China. Not FDR.
Biden then extends his audacious analogy, saying “Hitler was on the march,” again. Who is Hitler? Donald Trump. “Freedom and Democracy were under assault,” but who is the real Assaulter-in-Chief, sowing fear, oppressing rights? How about Biden?
Citing the Civil War, grossly inapt, Biden calls it an “…unprecedented moment in the history of the union.” Yes, when a president calls those who vote against him enemies of the people,” tries to jail his opponent, like Putin did. What next?
Biden punishes critics, FBI and IRS whistleblowers, lawyers, parents. “Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today.” Hmmm.
Biden trashes the rule of law, the Supreme Court, separation of powers, and border security. He ignores the High Court – panders to voters with unconstitutional loan forgiveness, and waves in illegals. He demoralizes police, pushes wokeness in the military, arrests peaceful anti-abortion protestors, criminalizes parents, puts the FBI in churches, and calls patriotic Christians dangerous “Christian nationalists.
Biden takes his son globetrotting to shake down foreigners, meets 20 times with his partners, and denies it all. More than rankling, that is criminal. The Attorney General? Busy prosecuting his chief opponent.
Deflecting failure, Biden says, “If anyone in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you, he will not.” Well, an interesting assertion, as Putin’s stated aim is – while wrong – is Crimea, which was once part of Russia. France never was. Plus, Putin’s army is weak, shrinking, and losing.
“No American soldiers at war in Ukraine…” Maybe, maybe not. That’s what Kennedy said before Vietnam; advisors were already there. Biden the demagogue: “Assistance to Ukraine is being blocked by those who want to walk away from Ukraine.” No, they want accountability, sir.
He says Trump does not support NATO. He does of course, but wants accountability, a word Biden hates. Make no mistake, 90 percent of NATO’s fighting force is US troops, planes, and ships.
He says Trump is “emboldening others to what they wish to do us harm.” Those are Biden’s mangled words, but he is after Trump. This from Biden who told Putin “a minor incursion” into Ukraine was okay, bows to Iran, China, and others who “wish to do us harm.” Really?
He dwells on the idea of “insurrection,” presumably pushed by Trump. Does demagoguery purer? Where is a prosecution of one person for insurrection? Plus 9-0, the Supreme Court does not buy it.
Having seen real insurrections around the world, as Powell’s Assistant Secretary of State running operations, that event was not it. No automatic weapons, hundreds dead, just bad behavior, ugly, criminal, inappropriate, but not about to flip our nation.
Biden says, “January 6th posed the gravest threat to democracy since the civil war.” Really? Not WWI, WWII, Pearl Harbor, Battle of the Bulge, China’s hydrogen bomb, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, near-nuclear Mideast crises in 1973, 1991, not 9-11? Not that Russia collusion falsehood?
Biden wants us to “respect free and fair elections,” sure, so let’s guarantee them with mandatory identification of citizen-voters, no ballot harvesting, and no shooing poll watchers out.
He lectured us. “Restore trust in our institutions.” Hmmm, the ones he daily trashes, Supreme Court, Congress, churches, school boards, families, police, or for that matter the presidency, in free fall?
Like a school Marm late to tell kids not to be late, Biden says “Political violence has absolutely no place.” Like your peaceful allies in 2020, who burned 200 cities? That kind of peaceful? Look in the mirror, sir.
Biden, had no accomplishments, then went to Roe v. Wade. He confuses state abortion limits and the IVF process, allowing a woman’s eggs to be frozen for future fertilization, a process 85 percent of Americans, including virtually all Republicans, support.
Most Americans do not want all this ugly deception. They do not want the Democrat fiction, that killing a child late term is fine, or that any wan to end IVF. To assert that we lack compassion is disgraceful.
Biden says, “without regard to party, I ask you to support democracy.” Sure. All patriotic Americans love their constitutional democracy; what they do not love is lies by someone dismantling free speech, worship, self-defense, security in their homes, basic consumer decisions, and choices from energy to cars.
Biden says his giggly, disengaged, morally compromised vice president is “an incredible leader.” Yeah, right. He says Republicans fail a “duty to care,” “unforgivable.” Fascinating, for a guy who would not recognize his own granddaughter, since she was born to a stripper, offspring of his criminal son.
He praises “vaccines that saved us,” bizarrely saying they are curing cancer. No, they were untested, left damaging side effects, and he punished those of faith who resisted them. As for thinking they stop cancer, Mr. President, go get that cognitive test, would you?
He distorts numbers on the economy, staggering under 34 trillion in debt, with inflation twice what it was when he assumed office, forgetting he cut oil and gas production and overspent by trillions.
So, “Mr. Chinese Big Bucks,” we do not believe what you say, but keep talking. We have had enough of your lies. That speech confirms where you stand, even if mortifying.
Well written article.
And our Senator supports Joe, must be smoking that grow house grass. He is an independent type of person.
We must have a bit of sympathy for the White House Vegetable as I am sure he did not have a clue about what he was saying. Rational thought left him long ago. He is the puppet who appears in public to voice the ideas of the Obama and Co appartchik who are trying to turn America into a “Utopia” like Venezuela currently is. And doing terribly at that job.
I was angered watching this sad, dementia riddled man talk down to me, and about the future of his tyrannical rule. Another China bought and paid for puppet.
“Seldom in American history has a president so boldly insulted the American people, played demagogue, or taken us for fools – the way an audacious Joe Biden did in his beg-the-issues, bag-of-air State of the Union.”
Not since Lincoln’s first Inaugural Address, actually.
At this point the Democrats including Biden have little choice but to keep lying. They are functions on the truth that if you lie to people long enough many will believe, The simple truth is written in the Bible. You who judge another do the same. The best defense is a strong offense. Never so true.
On another note I can’t help but wonder what miracle drugs Biden is on. He goes from being extremely incoherent to being able to read.
Travis Wolfe is just another name for Joe to add to his list of killed Americans.
