In the Wake of the SOTU

Well, we followed our usual policy of boycotting the State of the Union address, and catching up on shows instead. I can't abide the speechifying, the lies, the boasts, and I do mean from both parties. I wish we could get back to the good old days when the President simply sent a letter to Congress. But that was yesteryear and yesteryear's gone.

I do have a few predictions from before the speech. Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair,  Don't expect to hear Biden talk about "Build Back Better". Got that one. Capt. Ed, also at Haut Hair, Great news: Biden to double down on climate-change bill in SOTU. At Twitchy, ‘Hope there are no big words!’ #SlurOfTheUnion trends as Biden is set to deliver his first State of the Union and HOOBOY. Insty, SOTU PREVIEW: You Have Nothing Left to Threaten Us With, Joe. 

“Our Cabbage-in-Chief has no ‘Ws’ to brag about tonight. Unlike President Trump, who was only happy to report his, and our, successes, and there were many, Biden’s first year was an ongoing series of pimp-slaps for our once-great nation. Instead of tweeting victories like his predecessor, Biden has only barked angry threats to the American people, ‘Wear a mask, stay at home, get the shots, obey me or else, serf.'”

Annie Lowry at the Slantic pouts  Good Luck Convincing Anyone That the Economy Is Strong, "Joe Biden has plenty to brag about at the State of Union. Is anyone going to believe him?" At Da Caller, Several Republicans Say They Will Not Attend Biden’s State Of The Union Address "Illinois Rep. Mary Miller, Virginia Rep. Bob Good, Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale and Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde all shared their plans to not attend the State of the Union first with the Daily Caller after Texas Rep. Chip Roy and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said they would not be attending Monday." Ace has SOTU Bingo at Ladies and Gentlemen, Mrs. Speaker of the House: The State of Our Union... Is Brandon "Bret Baier: "The science has led us to this moment, where the chamber is maskless." Please eye, bleed, please please bleed, please eye bleed..." AllahPundit, Open thread: My fellow Americans, the state of our union is ... bleak

Biden’s not really going to claim that the state of the union is strong tonight, is he? . . . It’s a perfunctory applause line at these things, sure. But it’s so glaringly untrue in 2022 that to say it even half-heartedly would make this dismal spectacle seem more dishonest than usual.

And now for the reviews. If you really must see the speech, It was captured by sundance at CTH in Joe Biden Reads the State of the Union – 9:00pm Livestream Links. "Tonight at 9:00pm ET the installed occupant in the White House will whisper, shout and mutter out loud as he reads words written by others." Some general reviews. Ace, (not a Bret Baier fan), State of the Brandon Thread 2 Bret Baier: "He had a pretty good night tonight." HE LITERALLY SAID "LET'S TAKE A MOMENT TO RESET!" Dan Greenfield at Front Page, Confused Old Man Yells at Nation for an Hour, "3,720 seconds of lies, fearmongering, and malapropisms." Andrea Widburg at Am Think thinks Biden's SOTU was a combination of unicorn dreams and unicorn poop. So, pretty much what I expected and why I didn't watch? Insty HEH and JOHN PODHORETZ: According to Joe Biden, everything is going great. "As someone Steve linked to last night in his drunkblog noted, “This speech sounds like it was written by pollsters — politically terrified pollsters.“" and  KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Biden’s SOTU—Hey Racist Terrorists, Let’s Try Unity and Stuff.  Da Caller warns Biden’s SOTU Address Was A Playbook For How Dems Plan To Take On Midterms, 2024. Nick Arama at Red State, Biden's Remarks Were a Mess, but He Got Nailed for It Big Time Twice During the Speech.

And the highlight reels. Spencer Brown at Town Hall, Here's Who's Sitting with Jill Biden at the State of the Union... And Who's Not. Not includes families of the 13 U.S. service members killed by ISIS-K during Biden's surrender, American citizens and Afghan allies left behind in Afghanistan by Biden, shipping containers stuck off the U.S. coast due to a broken supply chain, Major Biden, the First Family's excommunicated dog, Hunter Biden or his lady friends, taxpayer-bought and HHS-distributed crack pipes, illegal immigrants who crossed Biden's open border, Corn Pop (the bad dude).But at NYPo, Jill Biden’s guest for SOTU is an advocate for Critical Race Theory, and at Wa Free Bee, Bidens To Host Lead Sponsor of China’s Genocide Olympics as State of the Union Guest.

The gaffe of the night was confusing Ukrainians with Iranians. Even Kamala knew better, Matt Vespa at Town Hall, Did You See What Kamala Harris Quietly Mouthed During Biden's State of the Union? and from Breitbart (Holy be his name), ‘A Pound of Ukrainian People’? 10 Brain Freezes in Joe Biden’s State of the Union Delivery  and Joe Biden Demands Amnesty for Illegal Aliens in SOTU Address by Touting Support from Chamber of Commerce. Wa Free Bee, After Calling China the Top Geopolitical Threat, Biden Lets Beijing Off The Hook

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 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.

Da Caller Rep. Lauren Boebert Erupts At Biden’s SOTU, Shouts About The 13 Americans Killed In Afghanistan, aww, was she mean to him? On Da Wire, Boebert Heckles Biden During Speech As He Talked About Soldiers In Coffins: ‘You Put Them In, 13 Of Them’. But heckling came from both sides, also on Da Wire, ‘The Squad’ Sit In Seats When Biden Says Fund The Police, Cori Bush Starts Shouting. At Da Peacock, Elon Musk takes aim at President Biden after he fails to mention Tesla during State of the Union, oh come on Elon, you're an amazing dude, but everything isn't about you. 

Twitchy, Final 3 words of Biden’s State of the Union speech have people guessing, "Go get him!" leaving people to wonder who he meant, Vlad Putin, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis? Who knows?
