Joe Biden says that all American businesses need to do to address inflation and bring down prices is cut costs – something he’d never dream of doing to the Federal Government. And this will sound weird coming from me, but let’s take his advice.

I Think I Just Found the Best ‘Take’ On Biden’s FUBAR SOTU Address
Someone asked me if I watched Joe Biden’s State of the Union last night. I said no, I’m up to speed on the State of the Union (almost daily). I don’t need to waste valuable time listening to disconnected elites mumbling political fantasy.
Biden Is An Absolute Fraud For Saying It, But The Core Issue Is Still Not Funding Or Defunding The Police
In his State of the Union speech, Joe Biden made the jaw-dropping statement that he supported funding the police. He told a lot of big lies – his concern for national unity chief among them – but this police flip-flop represents the second-deadliest nonchalant course reversal (after Covid policies) and it simply can’t be ignored.
Brilliant! Team Trump Twitter Video Takes Nancy and Her Speech Tearing Antics to the Wood Shed
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
Great News for Minorities – And Then Nancy Ripped it up in Front of them and the World
Democrats sat on their hands as President Trump rattled off historical gains and record-breaking economic improvements for minorities in America. That’s not new, by the way. If you search their congressional web pages you won’t find a word about any of it.
Dems Wear Traditional Klan Colors to SOTU While Trump Announces Record Low Black Unemployment
Democrats are bitter clingers. Not Max Klinger, though there could have been a man in that congressional audience wearing women’s white. No, I mean bitter clingers. Bitter the way a child glares at someone else who has the toy they say they wanted.
Donald Trump’s 2019 State of the Union Address

Sunset At Bernie’s
Oooh Boy, did Bernie Sanders get a slap-down last night while Congressman Kuster was dancing the Macarena in a short, embarrassing, tribute to herself. Socialist Bernie Sanders, now wandering the hinterlands of the Democrat Party he occasionally uses to enhance his political career, was caught scowling as President Trump spelled out the future of socialism … Read more
Sen. Ted Cruz: Pelosi is Terrified Of Letting Trump Speak Uninterrupted to Americans
In this short clip, Senator Ted Cruz offers his take on why Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to delay the State of the Union. Put simply, Pelosi can’t afford to let Mr. Trump have that much access to the American people.
Secret Service “Shuts down” Pelosi Claim About Security at the State of The Union Address
Fresh from our Blogging Brother from another mother, Warner Todd Huston. The Secret Service has quickly refuted Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s remarks about safety during the upcoming State of the Union Address. Pelosi milked the left’ Shutdown rhetoric to insist that the President would not have adequate security. As if Speaker Pelosi cares about Mr. … Read more
Club for Growth on Obama’s SOTU
Doug Sachletben from Club for Growth joins us to chat about Obama’s last State of the Union address.
Obama’s SOTU:“They deserve a vote,”
“They deserve a vote,” he intoned during the obligatory gun control portion of his speech. “They deserve a vote,” he repeated, just in case you missed it the first time. “Gabby Giffords deserves a vote. The families of Newtown deserve a vote. The families of Aurora deserve a vote. The families of Oak Creek and Tucson and Blacksburg and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence – they deserve a simple vote.”
(H/T: RightWingNews)
A State of the Union address? Nay, Narcissist-in-Chief Obama turned it into a political agenda rally. I remembered another time when such politcking was that crass – I tweeted a bit during the State of the Union address this past Tuesday and this is what I said as Obama talked deserving a vote:
He just turned SOTU into the gun equivalent of the Wellstone funeral. Disgusting.
US Senator Paul Wellstone (D-MN) was one of the most Liberal folks in the Senate at the time of his death (plane crash just before the elections of 2002).
Er, aren’t you part of the problem, sir?
Presumably, a sense of decorum kept senators and representatives from rolling in the aisles in laughter when the president uncorked this line: “The greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next.” I had a bunch of tweets during SOTU on a bunch of things, but I … Read more
Status of the Union – a very sorry affair
I tweeted during the whole thing and I’ll put them up later on. In quickly reviewing them, I think this one sums up the speech the best:
There’s NOTHING that the Federal Government can’t do – and nothing that Obama won’t refuse to have it grab. #GROK #TCOT #NHPOLITICS #SOTU
But you all knew that already, right? You know that his idea of a perfect community is just you, and government. Nothing else, for in his Progressives eyes, nothing else matters or should be needed. You see, the story of Julia that Obama released during the campaign, how she would rely on government, was not the whole story, was it? At no time, then or tonight, was there a mention of family helping out, of neighbors helping out, or voluntary associations between other citizens in fraternal organizations or churches, was there? That act of citizens helping each other OUTSIDE THE SPHERE OF GOVERNMENT that De Toqueville said was the vital strength of America – absent.
No, that kind of America does not exist in your Utopia, does it Mr. Obama? Instead, it is only a small individual and a Big Government surrounding that person 360. The intent may be to protect, but that 360 degree wall can also be seen as a cell wall.
Looks like Ted had a prime seat…

Rand Paul’s Response to Obama’s State of The Union Address
Yes, I have always liked Rand Paul, in case you were curious, and he is my kind of Republican…so in keeping with that, here you go; Rand Paul’s response c/o the Tea Party (though not necessarily as the Tea Party) to El Presidente’ Obama’s State of Delusion the Union Speech.
One man’s take on Obama’s SOTU speech (and not a good take either – we are in trouble)
I was still working on the video from Concord, so I did not live blog Obama. However, I kept noticing the inconsistencies in what he was saying. Sure, he talks a nice game, and if you are only partially listening, it sounded good. If you are not politically aware, you might have thought the same. However, I kept exclaiming to TMEW, over and over, “he just said said the opposite a moment ago”, “wait, he just said WHAT?”, or “Huh? That makes no sense whatsover based on what he said 10 minutes ago!”.
Thus, when I found this guy, Clark Judge, over at Hugh Hewitt’s blog (reformatted it here), I just had to repost it to show how Obama (or his speech writers) has no clue what happens when you really do think about those inconsistencies:
It sounded like such a soft, even conservative speech.
But let me get this straight:
- banks will be punished (do I understand this right, by a committee headed by Eric Holder?) if their lending is too risky,
- and they will be required (by the same committee) to give more home loans (meaning, it must be, to people who would otherwise not qualify for the loans, or else the government would not have to be involved) at lower rates (which means rates that do not compensate them as much as the market says they need to be compensated for the risks they are taking, all of which sounds like a new edition of the policies that brought on the financial collapse),
- which must mean that they will have to pull back on risky lending someplace other than homes,
- the only place that most banks would be able to pull back on riskier customers would be loans to small and new businesses,
- but these are the businesses that have created just about all the jobs over the last 20 years and he said early in the speech he wants to encourage them,
Notable Quote – Gov. Mitch Daniels
“The President’s grand experiment in trickle-down government has held back rather than sped economic recovery. He seems to sincerely believe we can build a middle class out of government jobs paid for with borrowed dollars. In fact, it works the other way: a government as big and bossy as this one is maintained on the … Read more
