Biden Lied 30 Times During The State Of The Union
The Federalist (thefederalist.com)
Here’s the definitive list of Biden’s biggest State of the Union falsehoods.
"President Biden has been known to tell some pretty outrageous lies throughout his political career. So, it came as no surprise when Ol’ Sleepy Joe spewed out more than a few whoppers during his State of the Union address on Thursday.
"From foreign policy to the economy, there was almost no subject in which the president didn’t lie to the American people. In case you missed his dumpster fire speech, here’s the definitive list of Biden’s biggest SOTU falsehoods.
"1. Sending Money To Ukraine
"Biden claimed that Republicans who oppose sending additional U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine are doing so because they want America to “walk away from our leadership in the world.” That is false. Opponents of endlessly funding Ukraine’s war with Russia have regularly stated that American interests must come before those of other nations.
2. Trump’s NATO Remarks
"Biden claimed former President Trump told Vladimir Putin, “Do whatever the hell you want,” regarding Russia’s invasion of Eastern Europe. But that’s not accurate.
"The former president’s remarks came during a recent South Carolina rally, during which Trump recounted a story from when he was president and speaking with a NATO member. Trump purportedly told this state that he would withhold U.S. support if they didn’t pay their minimum defense spending obligations.
" '‘You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?’” Trump recalled telling the unidentified NATO member. “‘No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay. You gotta pay your bills.’”
3. World Security And Ukraine
"Biden claimed “the free world is at risk” if the U.S. doesn’t ship more American taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. There is literally no evidence to support this assertion.

MSNBC Launches Another ‘Assassinate Trump’ Dog Whistle
Nolte:(breitbart.com) "MSNBC launched another WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE ASSASSINATE TRUMP? dog whistle this week by directly comparing the former president to Adolf Hitler.
On Wednesday, while discussing the results of Super Tuesday, fabulist, plagiarist, and Morning Joe regular Mike Barnicle talked about how he’s “rereading” some books about World War II and discussed the famous D-Day climb made by the Second Airborne Battalion up a cliff called Pointe du Hoc.
Then he said this:
A straight-up cliff, 125 feet to a German pillbox. And he went right at the Germans, right at the Germans. Fifty percent casualty rate. Why did they do it? They did it because we were Americans, and we were there to save Europe from Hitler.
And now all of these years later, we have to get together as a country and save the country from the threat that Donald Trump proposes.
Just a few months ago, Joe Scarborough fired off his own “Assassinate Trump” dog whistle by spreading an absurd conspiracy theory that Trump “will imprison, he will execute whoever he’s allowed to imprison, execute, uh uh uh drive from the country. Just look at his past. It’s not really hard to read.”
I know what the skeptics are saying now… Oh, come on. That’s a bit much claiming they want Trump assassinated.
Really?
You honestly don’t believe that the same political party currently queering and mutilating your kids to their trans gods is capable of this? How about the party that opens our border to deadly narcotics and violent criminals? Or the party that empties prisons into poor neighborhoods and encourages Antifa and Black Lives Matter to riot for months? Think about the party that cozies up to the antisemites among their base…
Victor Davis Hanson on Biden: ‘I have never seen in general an angrier speech’
"Victor Davis responds to @TuckerCarlson asking about Biden butchering Laken Riley’s name in defining moment of SOTU address: “I have never seen in general an angrier speech. I think the Left’s happy that he didn’t stumble, but he’s only coherent when he’s full of venom.' ”
Senator Kennedy. I am a conservative construction worker, and I agree with everything you say about the SOTU. We are on a very steep downhill free fall due to these liberal failures, and ideas that are not thought out, and just ruin entire institutions and swaths of our country. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, there is no possibility that you can’t see the extreme crime, and lack of following the existing laws and immigration rules on the books and think everything will be OK. It is not ok now, and it will take many, many years to fix this damage that has taken place over the last three years. Thank You Senator Kennedy for your calm and truthful approach and comments. I would vote for you any day, and wish we had more people with even part of your integrity..You are an asset to our country. Comment to this video.
America Is in Deep Trouble; The president weakens America for a chance at reelection . . ."There's another reason for concern. Who is running the White House? It is hard to believe it is the sad and defeated man who addressed the nation Thursday evening. As Biden's situation has worsened, he's become more reliant on the progressive Democratic base. His latest policy blunders have weakened the country to further his bitter hopes of a second term.
"On January 26, for example, the Biden administration said it would freeze permits for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export projects. The decision was jaw-dropping. Cheap and bountiful energy is the basis of strong, noninflationary economic growth. America's shale revolution creates jobs, made this country "energy independent," and built the world's biggest LNG export industry.
"American LNG is cleaner than oil and coal. It contributes to global security by offering our allies and partners an energy source derived from a commercial republic under the rule of law. American LNG shielded Europe from Russia's oil and gas weapon. It's a classic tale of American innovation and entrepreneurship making the world a better place. What's not to like?" . . .
. . ."Thursday's State of the Union address was the most important speech of Biden's more than 50 years in national politics. He had one last opportunity to at least try to somewhat heal — if just a bit — a nation further fractured by his divisive presidency.
"Yet, there Joe was: "Us against them" vs. "Let's try to come together." The latter was not to happen.
"Instead, a very angry president screamed at House Republicans and about Donald Trump — and even looked the Supreme Court justices in the eye and politically chastised them over Roe v. Wade, as he defiantly pledged to make Roe the law of the land if he wins reelection.
"And from the beginning to the end, nothing but anger, yelling, and bitter divisive rhetoric.
"Again, why?
"There's a strong possibility that Biden can't help it. Or that he now thinks his anger and yelling demonstrate leadership. They don't. While I'm neither excusing nor justifying Biden's SOTU behavior, I'm suggesting that he convincingly demonstrated on Thursday that he suffers from dementia." . . .
We’re watching our current and future President speak the truth with clarity and strength. So proud of President Biden. Republicans under the thumb of Trump are an embarrassment. When you can’t even applaud America’s success, you have no business serving in Congress.

Death by Biden: Joe Biden bungles name of Laken Riley in State of the Union, calls her 'Lincoln Riley'; Father yells name of Afghan location where his son was killed.
 |
| Cartoons - American Thinker |
President Biden waded directly into the dangerous waters of immigration in his State of the Union address Thursday but he bungled the name of Laken Riley, the women whose death has been blamed on an illegal immigrant let into the U.S. under his catch-and-release policies. Mr. Biden was prodded by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who had accosted the president on his way into the chamber and kept saying Riley’s name. She did it again, shouting “Say her name!” at Mr. Biden when he began a section of his speech on the border.
The left goes bonkers after Biden calls accused killer of nursing student Laken Riley an 'illegal' -Monica Showalter . . ."Greene, incidentally, scored the best moment of the SOTU when she demanded that Biden say Lakin Riley’s name. Biden processed the request and decided on the fly that he’d better comply. Therefore, he acknowledged that “Lincoln Riley” was killed by an “illegal” (infuriating his base) before saying actual Americans are more dangerous and, by the way, did you know that his son died, too: . . .
Perhaps a parodical break will soothe the anger from der Bidenrant:

The Morning Briefing: Biden's Handlers Really Overshot His SOTU Uppers Dosage
We may never learn what crazy-quilt array of drugs Presidentish Joe Biden is on, but after four years of watching him visibly fade after about 60 minutes or so — which seems to be the limit of their effectiveness — you'd have to be a hardcore Democrat or a member of the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) not to know that Biden is jacked up on something for his most important public appearances.
"Joe Biden’s State of the Union (“SOTU”) was unlike anything I’ve seen before, and I started watching these speeches in the mid-1980s. No president has ever been so maniacally wired, periodically incoherent, or viciously angry. That was style. The substance was worse. Biden opened by calling Trump a Nazi, shifted to Ukraine, promised to stamp out “insurrections,” and attacked Republicans—and then ended by calling for non-partisanship and comity. Throughout it all, he lied and then lied some more. This was a Dark Brandon campaign speech, not an SOTU.
"If you didn’t watch Biden’s SOTU, count yourself lucky. It was a deeply disturbing experience. The best comment about Biden’s demeanor came from Greg Gutfeld, who skipped over the usual take that Biden was completely hopped up on a variety of possibly illegal amphetamines:
Smokin’ Joe’s Grate Of The Union: Was That Fire – Or Gaslight? – Issues & Insights "One thing’s for sure: Smokin’ Joe Biden came out punching Thursday night in his campaign rally – oops, State of the Union address.
"That is, when Biden finally got to the House chamber after dissing assembled members of Congress and a national audience by leaving the White House right when he was to enter the Capitol. Then rudely breached protocol by tromping all over the speaker’s time-honored, bipartisanship-building privilege of introducing the chief executive.
"But those acts of contempt were nothing compared to 68 minutes of diatribe, disputation, deception, and most important, divisiveness then unleashed by America’s counterfeit commander in chief.
"Let’s cut to the chase on the Delawarean octogenarian’s first assignment from yesterday’s preview: deal with the age issue.
"And give credit where credit is due: Biden’s closing remarks masterfully flipped this vulnerability, insisting that the issue “isn’t how old we are, it’s how old our ideas are.” Then contrasting “the oldest of ideas” – the “hate, anger, revenge (and) retribution” attributed to his presidential opponent – with his own “vision for the future of what America can and should be.”
"Bravo.
"Yet: the White House clearly believed that an even better way to jettison that baggage was to burst out of his corner before the bell had even sounded – and let loose a shouted, shock-and-awe, bitter and blatantly political fusillade of blows against his opposition.
"But the effect of the sudden assault of verbiage and volume inappropriate to the occasion was instead decidedly disturbing, deeply disconcerting – and downright grating on ears and soul.
"Yes, Biden lit a fire. But only to ignite an hour-plus of “gaslighting” that should have insulted the intelligence of everyone watching in the hallowed halls and nationwide.
"Thereby earning flunking grades on the incumbent’s second and third tests: 1. take responsibility for the real economic woes besetting voters and 2. “soften the rhetoric,” including “suggest(ing) common ground for cooperation.”
"Just how did Biden, per one definition of the theatrically inspired term, engage in “an insidious form of manipulation” in which victims “are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true?”
"Let us count just some of the ways (given limited space):" . . .
11. Devoting just 139 words to Hamas’ subhuman atrocities and cowardice, then 322 to:
- Israel’s “responsibility” to reduce casualties among civilians used as human shields.
- Insistence on a ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid that will refresh and rearm its enemies.
- And imbecilic assertions that a two-state solution will ensure the Jewish nation’s security when the opposite is the case, and deliver peace with Arab nations when the historic, Trump-midwifed Abraham Accords were accomplished by side-stepping the Palestinians altogether. Full article here...
The SOTU from hell | Power Line (powerlineblog.com) "The comedian Richard Lewis, of blessed memory, is credited with the formulation “the x from hell.” Having watched President Biden’s State of the Union Address last night in order to comment on it this morning, I found it to be the SOTU from hell. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.
"The White House has posted the text of the speech “as prepared for delivery.” That isn’t exactly how he gave it. You have to see it to get the full flavor. I have posted the White House video at the bottom.
"Herewith are my impressions of Biden’s delivery and my observations on the speech in the form of bullet points:" . . .

Joe Biden's State of the Union Was the Most Unhinged and Angry in History
Joe Biden's State of the Union Was the Most Unhinged and Angry in History – RedState
I could keep posting videos, including a doozy involving Laken Riley (a must-read separate piece on that is coming), but the general presentation of Biden's speech was just awful. He came across as a divisive lunatic delivering a badly written stump speech, not a president addressing Congress and the American people seriously about issues that matter.
"In completely unsurprising fashion, Joe Biden arrived 20 minutes late for his own State of the Union on Thursday. Once he finally took the podium, it became clear that he shouldn't have shown up at all.
"Perhaps it was a screw-up on the dosage by his drug cocktail team, but Biden spent the first half hour of the speech screaming uncontrollably while intermittently coughing. It was surreal and by far the most unhinged and angriest State of the Union in history. There will no doubt be headlines proclaiming otherwise, and they will be false.
"There were also plenty of instances of the president's senility showing through. In the early part of the speech, Biden brought up January 6th and proceeded to completely flub two of his big zingers.
"The president then threatened the Supreme Court, albeit in the most mentally deficient way possible, shouting that "women are not without electrical power."
"Biden's inability to read a teleprompter aside, why would the Supreme Court need to realize women aren't without electoral power? They aren't politicians, and they don't exist to set policy. They interpret the Constitution as it stands. Biden's misleading about the court is outright dangerous. It's putting lives in danger so he can perform for his radical base. Unfortunately for him, he's not capable of even doing that coherently.
"There were some other head-scratching moments throughout the speech, such as this random mention of Moscow. Good luck figuring out what he was trying to say, but he had Russia on the brain." . . .
Was Biden Drugged for the State of the Union? One Expert Thinks So. – PJ Media "Joe Biden’s fiery but mostly peaceful State of the Union address prompted many to suggest that he had been drugged before the speech to ensure an energetic performance.
"I don’t doubt that many wags made those comments in jest, but it may actually be the truth. A psychiatrist who specializes in elderly dementia patients told the Washington Times that Biden displayed behaviors indicative of stimulant usage to conceal cognitive decline during his State of the Union address on Thursday.
"While Democrats were rushing to claim that his performance proved that he was physically and mentally capable of handling the presidency, Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, Calif., noted that Biden’s speed and volume during the speech could have been a sign that he was on Adderall or another amphetamine." . . .
Parody: With Daniel Penny Arrested, NYC Forced To Deploy National Guard To Protect Subway |
"NEW YORK — With Daniel Penny unavailable after being arrested for protecting New York's subway system, Governor Kathy Hochul officially deployed the National Guard to protect New York's subway system.
" 'We desperately need the National Guard to come do exactly what we arrested Daniel Penny for doing," announced Governor Hochul. "Civilians have become too afraid to confront violence on the subway, for reasons we cannot determine. We are left with no choice but to send in men with military training, like Daniel Penny, to protect New Yorkers from violent, mentally ill people on the subway. We would have asked Daniel, but obviously, he is under arrest for doing exactly what we are now begging the National Guard to do."
"After months of watching innocent people get beaten to a bloody pulp on the subway system, Governor Hochul decided it was time someone step in and help. "Why will no one, no good Samaritan, step in when violent lunatics attack people?" cried Hochul. "How has it come to this, that we must send in heavily-armed soldiers to stop the senseless violence? Oh, if only something could have been done!"
"At publishing time, the National Guard had been warned not to disturb mentally ill people who did Michael Jackson impersonations, even if they were about to commit murder."
