"When states across America were locking down their citizens and stripping them of fundamental human rights, Governor Ron DeSantis gave citizens in his state the choice to decide if they wanted to wear masks (or not) and if they wanted to be vaccinated (or not).
"At the peak of the pandemic, hypocrite Democrat leaders like Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who imposed some of the most draconian lockdown rules of any governor in America, escaped her own authoritarian rules and fled to sunny Florida where citizens were allowed to live freely and make their own health-related decisions.". . .

Or was Biden deluded by crackpot "modern monetary theory," the fool's gold that claims printing money ensures prosperity? In the end, it doesn't matter whether Biden was deluded or diabolical. Come November, Americans will rightfully blame him for willfully damaging their lives.

White House Deploys Jill Biden to Reboot Joe Biden's Image (breitbart.com)
First Lady Jill Biden joined President Joe Biden on Wednesday for a trip out of Washington, DC, taking the stage for an unusually defensive speech about her husband.
. . .The first lady’s speech appeared to be an attempt by the White House to reboot the president’s image, as recent polling shows 54 percent of Americans do not think Biden has the mental sharpness to serve as president.
"She painted a picture of Biden as a heroic historical figure who saved America from the “four years of chaos” of former President Donald Trump.". . .
But in Tuesday night's official GOP response to Biden, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said that, while "standing in solidarity with the brave people of Ukraine," Americans "shouldn't ignore" Biden's prior moves such as "Waiving sanctions on Russian pipelines while limiting oil production here at home; focusing on political correctness rather than military readiness; reacting to world events instead of driving them."
Carl P. Leubsdorf (jewishworldreview.com) "President Joe Biden gave two distinct State of the Union speeches. The first one was better.
"Biden drew repeated bipartisan applause with a vigorous denunciation of Russian President Vladimir Putin's unprovoked Ukraine power grab and a vow that "freedom will always triumph over tyranny."
"But the night largely lapsed into familiar partisan divisions when he returned to domestic issues, defending his administration's progress in spurring the economy and fighting the COVID pandemic, outlining steps to curb inflation and again touting his stalled environmental and social legislation.
"As a result, it's an open question if Biden was able to strengthen public perception of his leadership at a time his negative poll numbers suggest Democrats are headed for substantial losses in November's elections.". . .
The Democrats spent so much time jumping up to clap for the most unpopular “president” in modern history that, amazingly, none of the geriatric, lifetime politicians weren’t wheeled away on a stretcher.
House Democrats played the race card Monday, saying Americans are showing compassion for Ukrainians because they are white. I guess it's just a matter of time before Ukrainians use their white privilege to get out of Kiev alive. They've just been voted the Eastern Slavic Image Award for not looting.
Argus Hamilton (jewishworldreview.com) "President Biden gave his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress and the country in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. The table was set for high drama. Millions of Americans tuned in for the latest update in the ongoing war between President Biden and the Teleprompter.
• Vladimir Putin was advised not to destroy a city until U.S. attention turns to the NCAA basketball tourney's March Madness starting in mid-March. Urologists say some men get vasectomies just so they can sit home on the couch and enjoy the first two rounds. Talk about being unseeded for the tournament.
• President Biden's funniest moment in the State of the Union was when he called the Ukrainian people the Iranian people. Critics tallied ten enjoyable gaffes during the president's speech. Near the beginning, tears welled up in Biden's eyes until the voice in his earpiece shouted not Onion, Union!
• U.S. satellite photos showed a forty-mile-long Russian army convoy stalled while heading for Kiev Tuesday. Meanwhile live on the air, cable news channels showed a guy in Kiev riding his bicycle in the middle of a street through a bunch of Ukraine tanks. Cyclists think they own the road even in a war.
• U.S. Navy and Royal Navy subs sailed into the Black Sea to keep a check on Russian Navy ships that are shelling Ukraine from the South. Just one trigger-happy idiot on either side could ignite a nuclear war. It's moments like this that I'm glad Alec Baldwin doesn't have control of the Red October.". . . Full article
"Speaking of the best and the brightest, our foreign policy mandarins must have felt like it was Christmas Day when a senile dementia patient became president. Finally! No meddling politicians to get in the way of our beautifully designed plans worked out at the Council on Foreign Relations. Although Joseph R.

"OBAMA ERA 2009:
"Throughout President Obama’s “reset” of the relationship with Russia — which had “deteriorated alarmingly” under President Bush, according to The New York Times — foreign policy experts were thrilled to have an American leader finally acknowledging the end of the Cold War.
'A Times article cheerfully reported that “Mr. Obama has resolved not to let the ghosts of the 20th century get in the way of his goals in the 21st.” The paper editorialized, “We are relieved that Washington and Moscow are talking about cooperation.”
"In a May 20, 2009, column titled “Cold War Leftovers,” Stephen Sestanovich expressed delight that “the cold war really is over.” More than two years later, on Oct. 28, 2011, British historian Geoffrey Wheatcroft informed Times readers: “Putin’s Russia, though obnoxious enough, scarcely represents a strategic threat.”
"Evincing our shared humanity, the Russkies loved Obama. “After relations with the United States curdled in the final years of President George W. Bush’s tenure,” the Times cooed, “many people [in Russia] were relieved by Mr. Obama’s election.” Indeed, “Russia’s leaders … could not say enough good things about President Obama.” Sting was right: The Russians DO love their children, too!
"Obama didn’t sanction Russia for placing spies on U.S. soil, and barely did for annexing Crimea. Peace reigned.". . .

Her first book concerned the impeachment of Bill Clinton and sprang from her experience writing legal briefs for Paula Jones's attorneys, as well as columns she wrote about the cases.
Ryan Saavedra "Vice President Kamala Harris faced mockery online on Tuesday over an explanation that she gave on the radio about Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.
" 'If you’re watching any level of news, even social media, you've seen everything that’s going on right now in the Ukraine,” the host said. “Break it down in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on and how can this directly affect the people the United States.”
“ 'So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong.”
"One of the most comical responses to Harris’ remarks came from Harry Khachatrian, a writer for the Washington Examiner, who tweeted out a clip of a viral moment from a 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant where the contestant badly fumbled through a response:

"Eyeroll. Also, forgiving college debt will only birth more Donald Trumps. The populist backlash would be immense, as white, and well-to-do college liberals will be the ones who benefit.

Most people don’t want to hear it, especially when it’s a bunch of snowflakes who blow close to $200k on worthless degrees."
Still, the ambitions of the progressive wing and their desire to push even more radically to the Left after the next election comes through loudly and clearly. Republicans will waste no time packaging that up for ads in competitive districts, which may be expanding already after Biden’s flop last night.
And why has The New York Times just received a Pulitzer Prize for what leading liberal historians have labelled its “mendacious” rewriting of American history, known as “The 1619 Project”? Because to The New York Times and the Pulitzer Prize committee, truth is less important than smearing America.

| Dumpster fire (noun, US informal): "an utterly calamitous or mismanaged situation or occurrence: disaster." |
PJ Media "Joe Biden had a number of gaffes during Tuesday night’s State of the Union Dumpster Fire speech. For example, calling Ukrainians “Iranian people,” was a pretty bad one, but a different one really stuck out to me.
It happened shortly after Biden essentially claimed responsibility for ending the pandemic, and promised to continue to push for people to get vaccinated.
“We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation. And we won’t stop,” he said. “Because you can’t build a wall high enough to keep out…a, a, a, uhh, a vaccine—the vaccine can stop the spread of these diseases.”. . .
This is why the White House doesn’t like Joe Biden taking questions from the media. Joe Biden might think he’s being folksy by trying to speak off-the-cuff during a relatively poor speech, but it almost always ends in embarrassment—not just for him, but the entire country. . . .
This Was the Most Infuriating Part of Biden's State of the Union Speech . . ."The word is Joe Biden had to rewrite his State of the Union Dumpster Fire speech because of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and you could tell. It was an awkward, choppy speech that made me cringe at times.
"But, perhaps the worst and most infuriating thing about the speech, aside from the blatant lies about his record, was what was missing.
"Joe Biden was so desperate for a 9/11 anniversary photo op that he set an arbitrary date for withdrawing from Afghanistan, without any conditions for the Taliban, causing a disastrous evacuation that resulted [in] thousands of Americans left behind and 13 U.S. service members dead.
"Yet, not a single word about the withdrawal. Not a single word to honor those who died because of his incompetence.". . .
Biden Raises Eyebrows With 'Strange' 3 Words at the End of His State of the Union
Biden's SOTU was a combination of unicorn dreams and unicorn poop
He talked a bit about supporting “made in America.” Those phony words out of his mouth seemed stolen from Trump; Biden never cared about “made in America.” He only cared about enriching his family by any means necessary. Ukraine was his, and Hillary’s, financial playground. . .
. . ."The speech was a tissue of lies from beginning to end, including “let’s not defund the police, let’s fund them.” What a crock. His VP and most of his party have been lobbying for BLM and against law enforcement for years now. They celebrated the BLM rioters who did a couple of billion dollars of damage to numerous cities and have treated the unconstitutionally imprisoned patriots present at the Capitol on January 6 worse than terrorists. He pretended to care about our veterans; he does not. He has eviscerated our military with wokery and
vaccine mandates.". . .
. . ."As many seasoned observers and legitimate journalists have long noted, Joe Biden was never a particularly smart or decent man. He had a much higher opinion of himself than anyone else does. He was always wrong on any foreign policy issue at hand. He was and remains a mean man; on that score, there are too many instances to list but his attempted humiliation of Clarence Thomas at his confirmation hearings are sadly legendary.". . .

| Biden addressing Judge Clarence Thomas |
• The spectacle of Biden speaking in front of Vice President Harris and Speaker Pelosi was chilling. We are not a serious country.
• How silly and small did they look by contrast with President Zelensky and every Ukrainian official we have heard from over the past week?
• As Biden rushed through his text and slurred the words, I wondered if he was medicated.
• The text of the address provided by the White House does not reflect the speech as delivered. At one point, I heard Biden express support for the Iranians when he meant Ukrainians (“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people”). He supports the Iranians (the mullahs, anyway). Perhaps it was a Freudian slip.". . .

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
What happened to Matthew Perna must not be allowed to happen again.
"At last night’s State of the Union speech, President Biden claimed that freedom will always triumph over tyranny. He was talking about Ukraine, of course, in a speech that made one wonder if Biden knows whether he’s their president or ours.
"Matthew Perna, a schoolteacher from Sharon, Pennsylvania, wasn’t around to hear it.
"You’ve likely never heard of Matthew Perna, and were this a sane country you never would have. Matthew Perna was not an exceptional man.
"That isn’t intended as an insult. By all indications Perna was a good guy and a patriot. But he wasn’t famous, and he wasn’t going to be.
"About the only thing about Perna that would have brought him into the public eye was what happened on January 6, 2021.
"Like hundreds of thousands of Americans, Perna was disturbed by the irregularities of the 2020 election — unsettled enough that he participated in a mass protest in Washington, D.C., on that day.
"You don’t have to be a supporter of everything that happened on January 6 to recognize that the Biden regime’s reaction to it has been disgracefully out of proportion and flat-out evil.
"Perna, like hundreds of his fellow protesters, entered the U.S. Capitol. He didn’t break in. He was waved in by the Capitol Police. He had no weapons, and he attacked no one. He took pictures inside the building. He even stayed within the rope lines. And by the time Perna entered the Capitol, Congress had halted its joint session to certify the presidential election and left the hall. He disrupted nothing and hurt no one.". . .

Boebert could face formal condemnation for the outburst. In 2009, Rep.

Here Are the Two Congresswomen Who Heckled Biden Relentlessly (townhall.com)
Whoopi Goldberg Enters Orbit Over Lauren Boebert Heckling Joe Biden – RedState . . ." Let’s recall that he’s trashed Republicans as racist supporters of Jim Crow because they dared to support voter ID. When you demonize people in such a disgusting way, you are not then owed respect in return. I don’t care what office you hold.". . .
"Goldberg asks of Boebert, “Who the hell do you think you are?” The answer is that Boebert is an American with the right to free speech. That right extends to heckling the president, regardless of whether one believes it was appropriate or not. It’s one thing to say Boebert shouldn’t have done it. It’s another to suggest she doesn’t have the status to question the president. That’s not how any of this works. Biden serves at the pleasure of the nation’s citizenry, for better or worse. He is not a king, and Goldberg is the last person who should be criticizing others about being disrespectful."
