    How much outright cash and commerce have Biden and Obama given our enemies, while Useful Idiots swoon?

    To them, it’s a trade off. Human life for cash in hand. Kinda like abortion clinics. As long as there’s money to be made from it, it’s a done deal.

    I watched it and tried to watch with an open mind. But, when it was over, I knew no more about the state of the union than I did when it started.

    This is a fact check from AP. They usually lean left so I'm sure they were gentle as they could be with him.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "President Joe Biden related a faulty Democratic talking point about guns in his first State of the Union speech, made his plan on electric vehicles sound more advanced than it is and inflated the sweep of his infrastructure package. On several fronts, he presented ambitions as achievements.

    About COVID-19
    BIDEN: “Severe cases are down to a level not seen since July of last year.”
    While hospitalizations indeed are down from last summer, deaths remain high. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID tracker shows 289 deaths on July 1, 2021. This past Monday the CDC tracker reported 1,985 deaths.


    BIDEN, asking Congress to pass measures he said would reduce gun violence: “Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued, the only one.”


    THE FACTS: That’s false. While gun manufacturers do have legal protections from being held liable for injuries caused by criminal misuse of their weapons thanks to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, they are not exempt or immune from being sued.


    BIDEN, promoting his $1 trillion infrastructure law: “We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks. We’re now talking about an infrastructure decade. ... We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.”

    THE FACTS: Not so fast.
    The bipartisan legislation approved by Congress ended up providing just half of the $15 billion that Biden had envisioned to fulfill a campaign promise of 500,000 charging stations by 2030.

    BIDEN, on Intel’s plans for new factories in central Ohio: “Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place, 10,000 new jobs.”

    THE FACTS: His statement is premature. That many factories are not imminent and may or may not ever be built.

    BIDEN: “The pandemic also disrupted the global supply chain ... Look at cars last year. One third of all the inflation was because of automobile sales. There weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy. And guess what? Prices of automobiles went way up ... And so we have a choice. One way to fight inflation is to drag down wages and make Americans poorer. I think I have a better idea to fight inflation. Lower your costs and not your wages. Folks, that means make more cars and semi conductors in America. More infrastructure and innovation in America. More goods moving faster and cheaper in America ... Instead of relying on foreign supply chains let’s make it in America

    THE FACTS: It’s dubious to suggest that more domestic manufacturing means less inflation.
    Manufactured products made overseas, particularly in countries such as China or Mexico where wages are lower, are generally cheaper than U.S.-made goods.

    BIDEN on the infrastructure bill: “The single biggest investment in history was a bipartisan effort.”

    THE FACTS: No, it wasn’t that historic.
    Biden’s infrastructure bill was big, adding $550 billion in fresh spending on roads, bridges, and broadband Internet over five years. But measured as a proportion of the U.S. economy, it is slightly below the 1.36% of the nation’s gross domestic product that was spent on infrastructure, on average, during the first four years of the New Deal, according to an analysis by the Brookings Institution. It is even further below the roughly 2% spent on infrastructure in the late 1970s and early 1980s."

    And Nancy Pelosi was absolutely ecstatic! She was up and down like a Jack in the Box. At one point, she was rubbing her fists together and grinning like a possum.

    LOL. From Yahoo news (another bastion of leftism)...

    President Joe Biden, in a passionate call for supporting for Ukraine against a Russian invasion, mistakenly referred to Ukrainians as "Iranians."

    What he said: "Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people." :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    All in all, he did better than I expected. He only made a few gaffes. He did call Ukrainians Iranians. He did say that we can't build a wall high enough to keep vaccines out. He only lost track of what he was supposed to say a few times.

    None of the commentators I saw had any idea what that meant.

    I've listened to it a few times now. What he actually said was "Uranians." They are the people from Uranus, you know; or someone's anus.

    Never ever trust your enemy. The man is a criminal and stuffed his pockets for 47 years while we all paid his salary. Why would anyone listen or watch that half wit. Every time they video him eating an ice cream cone I just wish he would have a gigantic case of brain freeze. That is about as nice or nasty I can be to the worst man possible that could be in our white house.

    What's with Pelosi, anyhow? The current president and the line of succession are scary things. Nancy just loves that toxic smoke. Democrats are weird.

    They're not weird, they're drinking alcohol with some strong drugs. Possibly senility drugs ? The thing that bothers me most is to watch that piglosi suck those store bought teeth. Disgusting eewww...

    It could be kind of a sideways version of what a phone caller said to Joe and Jill on a live broadcast during the Christmas season.
    At the end of the conversation the caller said, “Let’s go Brandon” to which Biden answered, “That’s right, Let’s go Brandon”.

    I think she, like Schumer’s earlier jump to applaud, was about to do the same thing. She got up to clap before realizing that Joe wasn’t finished so in embarrassment, started rubbing her fists together instead of clapping.

    Still, it looked like a puppy begging for food.
    Now, I’m not saying that Pelosi resembles a dog but if she did and was begging for the speech to be over so she could get back to her drink………?
