President Biden didn’t say much in his first State of the Union address. But what he did discuss does not instill much hope for America.
Probably the worst State of the Union I’ve seen in my career. There was no natural theme to it. He opened on Ukraine ’cause how could he not? Then he bounced around to various ideas and topics.
He basically repeated the left-wing values and policies, except for an occasional, you know, jump towards the middle ’cause there’s an election coming up.
So all of a sudden after two and a half million people crossed into the United States illegally in his first year, we have to control the border. Terrific sentiment. Then he explained what he would do, which made no sense, frankly, and wouldn’t control the border.
He has figured out for the dramatic rise in crime that the Soros-funded district attorneys aren’t working out very well and that left-wing ideas, like why don’t we release murderers to see if they feel better, doesn’t work out very well.
And so now he is for funding the police, not defunding the police. I didn’t see how many Democrats applauded that wildly, but, of course, Republicans were pretty happy with it, but we’ll see if it means anything.
He also failed to talk about Afghanistan, delivered a goofy line about inflation, and randomly talked about meat packing companies.
The section on energy was really worrisome. Biden suggested controlling the high cost of gasoline by getting an electric car. It’s really not that simple, and he seems to think he’ll fix gas prices by releasing 30 million barrels of oil from our national reserve.
Now remember the national reserve is there for an emergency. This is not an emergency. This is a moment of political and policy, stupid.
And I thought the speech was about as good as the policy.
