Biden's state of the union
Tonight Joe Biden will give his first State of the Union Address. He will have not a single thing that he can brag about to main stream America. The radical left may be happy with the things he has done, but it has hurt most Americans. His first year in office produced the worst inflation in 40 years, the worst violent crime in 25 years, the highest gas prices in 7 years, the most illegal border crossings ever recorded, and then there was the deadly, disgraceful surrender in Afghanistan. He will have to speak tonight as his approval rating is hitting new lows as Americans complain of rising prices and international instability. BTW, Americans disapprove of everything he has done.
So what will he talk about tonight?
Will he talk about the war in Europe, the very one that could also have been caused by his weakness and ineptitude?
One could easily point to Joe Biden as the cause of all these crisis. Of course he gave us no indication during the 2020 campaign that he would be a radical extremist. Most of those who voted for him either voted based on party affiliation and a ballot delivered to their door or they simply hated Trump. I'd say those are the worst among us. I think 2021 is the proof that I'm right.
What say you?
There is one thing I'm sure he will talk about (or should I say that his handlers will script for him) is his sanctions of Russia, yet, in reality, they have been too little, too late. He has intentionally avoided sanctioning Vladimir Putin’s energy industry, which is funding the invasion and propping up the entire regime.
So what will he say tonight?
Here is what Dana Perino expects:
" President Biden got news today that the ABC poll has him at 37% approval. That is what he is looking at. It's just not that Americans have an opinion about him, they have formed a judgment. It was a very high bar for him to clear anyway. I expect that you will see grace notes, some attempts at unity, and he'll be able to introduce to America again his Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, who had a pretty good rollout the other day. Now that said, Jesse, imagine you and your sister played monopoly all weekend. You got all the pieces out on the board and everything is going very well and then the neighbor kid comes over and kicks the board over. That's basically what Vladimir Putin did to the State of the Union speech. "

I'm going to take a page from the Nancy Pelosi book. I'm ripping up his speech before he makes it.
I'm not wasting my time!

And if you are a progressive/liberal, you saying that he's not a radical.
Will Mitch McConnell stand behind Biden and rip a copy of the speech in half like a certain petty somebody else did during Trump's last State of The Union speech? That would be interesting.
It will be Pelosi and Harris and I'm sure Nancy will be jumping to her feet for everything the brain dead idiot is instructed to say. Rice & Klain can only hope that he can read, speak and focus tonight.
Sanctions that were already in place but lifted within his 1st week in office.
It seems that the Bumbling Baboon is attempting to activate the National Guard from various states to "protect the capital". Reality is it makes him look like the dictator, I think he wishes he could be.
I'm sure the NG will be treated as badly as they were a year ago.
You know they don't like or understand the military.
Don't you mean the Democrats own personal honor guards. They are there to make the Democrats look tough; and be a visible threat that dares to question Brandon.
Once they are done with them they will be banished to the nearest vacant parking garage, if they are lucky. Chances are they will be sleeping on the frozen ground.
You bet!
President Biden arrives back at the White House after spending the weekend in Delaware. Biden did not stop to answer questions from reporters about the conflict in Eastern Europe.

I expect Biden will continue to piss down out neck and try to convince us it is raining just like Psaki has been doing for over a year.
He will tell us that what just happened in the Ukraine is the cause of inflation.
He might even tell us that he conquered the pandemic.
He will take credit for both the pandemic and his "leadership" in the Ukraine. He will pick everything that he can't spin as a success (inflation shows how strong the economy is, etc. )and blame someone/something else for his failures in policy and leadership. I remember in the business world you were held accountable for results, not excuses why you couldn't get things done.
We have already heard rumblings around here that Biden looked "strong" on the Ukraine Crisis. I'm sure something will be written into his speech tonight giving him credit for being "strong." I wonder how Zelensky feels about that?
I will give credit to Biden for one thing around the Ukraine Crisis. The Intelligence agencies workup on the leadup to this was correct and Biden did declassify it and release it to the public so that every trick that Russia pulled was already known was coming. Other than that...
That is true, but Russian propaganda is as dumb as it gets. It's one step below democrat propaganda
nice rack
Still being an upstanding Democrat by objectifying women John?
The shear hypocrisy would be great entertainment; if it wasn't so damn sickening.
Sorry, I dont respect a woman (Noem) who thinks Trump's face should be on Mt Rushmore.
Better luck next time.
The Keystone pipeline has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH US BEING ENERGY INDEPENDENT.
ALL TAR SANDS BEING SHIPPED ELSEWHERE.
And instead of us shipping our domestic oil elsewhere, shipping that instead would free up our domestic oil that we DO export already and keep it here at home.
Nope.
Yes, oh yes.
No, not at all.
The Keystone pipeline has absolutely nothing to do with US energy independence, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Well said but the deniers will still deny
In 2020 and 2021 we were a net exporter of oil and we are the largest producer of oil in the world.
As you can see right above your comment LMAO
Well said Kavika but the deniers will still deny!
hahahaha What he just said put a HUGE fucking hole in the "not energy independent" bullshit you have been spewing ad nauseum LMMFAO
No, no it didn't.
"Net exporter" and "largest producer" say otherwise.
Nope.
Yep. Sorry for ya.
Actually, you should at least try to understand what ''net exporter'' means...We EXPORT more oil than we IMPORT.
And what is your problem with being the largest producer of oil in the world? Should we cut back on our oil production and become a NET IMPORTER of oil?
I understand that which also means we are self sufficient. I don't have a problem being the largest and I don't know where the hell you pulled that from. Tessy insists we were never energy independent. THAT is the discussion here. If we export more than we import, if we aren't self sufficient, we should be if that is the case. Understand now?
I don't know where you pulled that from. All Tessy said was the one pipeline did not make us energy independent.
I know where he pulled that from.
I have no problem understanding, you seem to be struggling with it with your comments and questions.
Here is the explanation and there are many more links with the explanation.
No she said, and has said repeatedly, that we have never been energy independent. And it's bullshit.
Bringing in Canadian oil does not make us energy independent since Canada is a foreign county (not part of the US)
If bringing in Canadian oil made us energy independent then we should count the four million bpd we are now getting from Canada.
We also import Russian oil.
Your thoughts?
To totally stop the importation of Russian oil will increase the price of gas in the US. I would love to stop importing it right now but that isn't realistic for the moment. Hopefully, it will be in the near future.
What are your thoughts?
We move oil and gas around on trains and trucks, but the most efficient and safest way to transport fuel is via pipeline. Environmentalists who block pipeline projects do so out of an ideological opposition to building any new conventional-fuel infrastructure. (Sometimes, they even say as much publicly.) If Biden wants to do that he should be honest with the American people and tell them they are going to suffer until the day comes when he have this great dream called "green energy."
First one says donald did not make us energy independent as does the second one. The third was again about the pipeline.
No where in any of those comments did Tessy say we are not energy independent.
Russian imports do not make up a very large part of the U.S. energy portfolio: More than 60 percent of our oil imports come from Canada, another 10 percent from Mexico, 6 percent from Saudi Arabia, and only 3 percent from Russia. I would stop importing from Russia, restore the Keystone XL Pipeline, repeal the Jones Act and encourage oil drilling & refining and fracking wherever possible.
"Bringing in Canadian oil does not make us energy independent since Canada is a foreign county (not part of the US)
If bringing in Canadian oil made us energy independent then we should count the four million bpd we are now getting from Canada."
I don't know what all that has to do with anything I've said. I never said anything about Canadian oil making us energy dependent. I don't know what you're talking about - not to be rude.
I said that whatever the Keystone pipeline would be exporting, wouldn't benefit the US, it would benefit Canada. Just Jim has really muddied the waters here and made things very confusing by his constant sniping and bullshit and constant denial of ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I SAY and he needs to stop making me the topic of this seed and dogging my heels.
I said and in the past......................
Open forum. Sorry. Not sniping and bullshit. As for the denial, I am not you and your insistence and refusal to read about CRT. Wear it.
Not dogging your heels.(EEEEEWWWWW) and not making you the topic. The topic was and has been the state of the union and the bullshit being spewed. Don't flatter yourself.

The expansion of existing pipelines can handle more BPD than XLP would if it was built. I've posted the link to that many times.
As for encouraging oil drilling and refining/fracking currently, this is the status of leases.
Since this was published in January 2021 many more leases have been awarded. Time for the private sector to get to pumping.
What does the Jones act have to do with this?
I'm so tired of repeating that the Keystone XL pipeline has noting to do with US energy independence. How many times do we have to repeat the Canadian Tar Sands oil that would have been run through the pipeline was to be exported, by Canada, (through a Huston, Tx refinery) to poor countries that didn't have our same pollution standards. By this point it's willful ignorance on the subject.
I get tired of repeating the same thing too eg.
It's also difficult for some to understand that Canada isn't part of the US. which I have done on numerous occasions.
Thank you, Jim, for providing the truth, as always on here.
We end up importing oil because of it.
The Jones Act requires that ships going from one U.S. port to another U.S. port be built in the United States and owned and crewed by U.S. citizens. There are very few tankers and crews that meet this requirement. As a result, it costs two or three times as much to ship petroleum products from Gulf Coast refineries to East Coast cities (or from Texas producers to West Coast refineries) than it does to bring those products in from ports in faraway countries such as Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. So there is little or no port-to-port petroleum business within the United States.
I'm well aware of the Jones Act and its requirements and why it's in place.
That simply isn't accurate. Florida alone receives numerous tanker vessels of fuel from the gulf coast of Texas, Mississippi and Louisana. Port Everglades is a huge port/operation for the receiving of petroleum products.
The Jones Act is pure protectionism for a small number of uncompetitive U.S. shipbuilders. Without it, we could replace some of the Russian imports with domestic product almost immediately.
Florida alone receives numerous tanker vessels of fuel from the gulf coast of Texas, Mississippi and Louisana. Port Everglades is a huge port/operation for the receiving of petroleum products.
We import petroleum products in part because there is no good economical way to get them from the Gulf Coast to the East Coast.
Of course, it's protectionism and has been since 1920.
Not true, are you not aware of the Colonial pipeline, barges and tankers that move from the gulf coast to the east coast.
Yes it is true...I'm well aware of the Colonial Pipeline. You see Kavika, even without congressional action, the Biden administration has the authority to issue Jones Act waivers. The administration did that, in a limited way, after the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline in 2021.
You should have done your homework!
I'm also well aware of the Jones act waivers.
I've done my homework over 40 plus years in the industry and have shown you that most of your comment is wrong since in addition to the pipeline there are barges and tankers plying that trade.
But keep trying to move the goalposts.
Your Honor, the Defense rests...
And you were found guilty of not knowing what you are talking about.

More proclamations without a shred of evidence.
The US has been a net EXPORTER of refined petroleum products since 2011. I'm pretty sure that it's cheaper to EXPORT it to the East Coast than it is to IMPORT it in from Russia at the current prices.

Trump was right - he does look more intelligent with the glasses!
Meh, Durham looks more intelligent without them.

Wonder if he's gonna crow about the agreement to release from the national reserves. Between European allies and the US, it's agreed that there will be 60 million barrels released. The US alone will release 30 million barrels. Only real problem is that average daily consumption in the US is just over 18 million barrels, so this isn't even 2 days worth. The national reserves don't hold enough oil to really make a difference here. We would be much better served if this administration would bring back some of the Trump energy policies and open things up again. But they seem to be driven by the extreme left so they can't do that.
They tried that nobody was fooled. I just can't see how he puts a positive spin on anything that's happened since he entered the WH.
Please cite even ONE of those policies that would deliver even ONE barrel of oil in the next YEAR Snuffy.
Who listens to either of those fucking morons?
Wasn’t Biden the one who signed an executive order to increase the cost of insulin in his first week in office?
No. Just more Fake News from your 'reliable' sources.
Get ready for it...he beat COVID.
For two years, the bulk of the news has been COVID related, whether it be deaths, hospitalizations, massaging of data, etc. February, especially late February...back page news.
You could be right. After all, the timing on the Capital building relaxing mask rules is sure timed well for this.
When I was a kid, our neighbor raised, trained and worked blue heelers. I loved helping him work his cattle, because I loved watching his dogs work. I asked him, one day, how he got his dogs to listen so well. His reply was shocking and didn't make sense to me. He said that he choked his dogs, until they passed out, then he would sit, holding and petting them until they woke up. After that, they'd do anything, according to him, because he was the person that saved them.
I left it there. I still don't know if he was joking or not. But, I couldn't wrap my head around the idea when I was young. Now, I realize that I am, and have been, watching this practice day in and out, but with people. Bastards that are choking us, are the same ones claiming they are our saviors. It's all political theater, and we take in every show.
Predictions are fun. Let's make some and see how close they are. Yes, all of these are IMOs but not necessarily IHMOs.
IMO #1: The overarching themes will be freedom and autocrats.
IMO #2: Biden will open with Ukraine and portray that as a global forward march of freedom. Ukraine will be an obvious rallying point that will garner applause. Biden will highlight the dangers of autocrats. And Biden will sprinkle in a lot of items that emphasizes he ain't Trump; which was his main campaign promise.
IMO #3: Biden will claim the pandemic is over. The timing of states lifting mandates hasn't been coincidental. Biden will list accomplishments and make the case that he performed better than expected. Expect Biden to announce a target date for lifting Federal mandates and restrictions.
IMO #4: Biden will address the economy in terms of unemployment numbers and will make the case that Biden's green initiatives are creating jobs and expanding business. Biden will likely make allusions to autocrats around the world creating uncertainty that is hampering the economy. Biden will begin a indirect narrative that Xi Jinping is an autocrat in the same mold as Vladimir Putin. And Biden will highlight how big government has avoided dire economic consequences.
IMO #5: Biden will likely spend some time on a meandering recital of typical Democratic cultural and racial demagoguery. Nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court is obvious red meat for the Democratic base.
IMO #6: Biden will close with uplifting language about freedom and the dangers of autocrats. The emphasis will be global cooperation and avoiding a 'go it alone' approach.
Well done Sir!
Don't forget global warming!
Can Biden ever hope to reach the soaring rhetoric of Kamela Harris trying to explain Ukraine to listeners of a black radio station:
"Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine so basically that’s wrong."
Maybe Biden will throw 'a bone' to the right wing as he explains high OIL prices and inflation by reminding them that Corporate Profits are higher than they've ever been.
That's because of the inflation caused by his policies
I just watched his speech live.. Contrary to the belief of a few here I was able to watch it. I saw Mitch McConnell stone face throughout. Biden will be lucky to be allowed to accomplish any of his wishes to get the USA back on track again because the Republicans won't let him do it, especially because blocking such accomplishments and benefits for Americans might prevent Biden gaining favour for the Democrats at the midterms. Welcome to American politics.
Remember the Russian oligarch and the $75 Billion or so that was supposed to be invested in Kentucky for an aluminum smelting plant?
Wonder if Biden's talk about Russian oligarchs made the hairs on McConnell's neck bristle in fear?
I don't know anything about that.
How quickly we forget about Moscow Mitch.
Really? You don't know? Google it.
Google is not available where I am, but I'll look for a text version of his speech. Although I watched a lot of his speech live, I wasn't paying attention to it all the time, and had computer problems during it.
The Kentucky aluminum plant, the Russian oligarch and Mitch McConnell.
I just read this article (LINK) ->
Happy to see the result for Mitch "Pendulum" McConnell.
Thanks for YOUR OPINION of American politics...
You're welcome.
Sum up last night in as few words as possible.
Biden listed his accomplishments and promulgated concepts he wants to happen in order to benefit America and Americans. (18 words)
Waste of time.
I would have summed it up with No apology and a doubling down!
5 words
How did you do in math when you went to school, Vic?
MAGA.
In an extraordinary breach of decorum, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) yelled out at President Biden during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, accusing him of putting American troops in coffins.
Biden was in the midst of discussing how many American troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan developed cancer from exposure to toxic smoke from massive burn pits.
"A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin," Biden said. "I know —"
"You put them in, 13 of them!" Boebert yelled out.
Agreed, she should have kept her mouth shut rather than yell out when she did. There's a time and place for this and IMO it's not during a SOTU speech. It can be done after.
Secondly when she & MTG started to shout out "Build the Wall" when Biden mentioned that immigration needs to be fixed. Yes, this administration has made a huge mess of things at the southern border but again not during the SOTU speech.
Save that shit for your rebuttal to the speech. Don't make an ass out of yourself. I'm sorry this habit of shouting out loud to attack the president was ever started.
Neither one of those two bigoted ignorant individuals has any business being in elected office at any level.
Stupid bitches!
huh, both of their faces usually exhibit those expressions while they're on their knees...
Mouths wide open waiting for their next donor.
The photographer might win a Pulitzer for this.
There's the "class" we've all come to love from the left. Attaboy!
I'd rather make fun of these two morons than defend them.
... totally justified when discussing those 2 trumpster knob polishers.
Brilliant.
It never ceases to amuse me how some in the left can rationalize things by pretty much saying "It is OK when I do it, I have "right" on my side".
But expected
Almost makes one wonder if someone isn't getting enough.
What? estrogen supplements?
I look at Harris and that just reminds me of that "Guess what day it is?" commercial.
Inflation’s bad.. we must spend more.
prices are too high…we must tax businesses
Biden doesn't even worry about sounding coherent. His writers just throw together whatever tidbits sound good to Democrat focus groups and call it a speech.
"Last night was a reminder that while America remains strong, our leadership is weak. We resolved to stand against Putin's aggression and challenges from authoritarian regimes but failed to hear immediate concrete steps. Here are three proposals that require urgent action".....John Bolton
CNN said Biden’s speech had the lowest very positive rating in 15 years of polling..
Even democrat know making repeated mistakes like calling Ukrainians, uranians isn’t a good sign.
There isn't much to be said after bringing the country to it's knees.
Even democrat know making repeated mistakes like calling Ukrainians, uranians isn’t a good sign.
He did struggle, as usual.
Was it me or did every sentence begin with either "Folks" or "Look?"
Even if you didn't watch the speech, one could tell it was a bad performance by the fact left wingers are more intent on discussing Trump than calling any attention to Biden's speech.
Anyone who watched the speech can only be depressed we have a man like that in charge during a time like this. Building walls to keep out vaccines.....
I noticed that. Not many stepping up to defend that blundering fool or his speech (if you can call it that). It seems the volume of Trump seeds increased a bit.
This was one of my favorites............
"We've sent 475 million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any nation on Earth," said Biden. "We won't stop, because you can't build a wall high enough to keep out a...a vaccine, the vaccine can stop the spread of these diseases."
And of course there was the Iranian instead of Ukrainian gaffe.
"Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,"
I like when he told Zelensky that "he's with him."
Can you imagine Zelensky's final though being Biden was with me?
It seems the Ukrainian government was less than impressed with Joe, as were we all.
Of course it was a disappointment. The Ukrainians wanted so much more.
Why did Biden end his speech with "GO GET HIM" ???
Who is he talking about?
Or did he once again read out load something the writer wrote for only him?
And see little Putin as the murdering thug scumbag he is and whatshisname #45 who supports and admires him for murdering the Ukranian people.
Biden calls for a MASSIVE AMNESTY and MORE foreign workers amid the worst border crisis in U.S. history -- he's openly encouraging more illegal immigration and expansive chain migration.
That's what democrats call "immigration reform!"
Morgan Freeman endorsed Joe Biden.
FAIL.
Psaki says Biden didn't “have the time” last night to mention our 13 servicemembers killed in Afghanistan.
Does that satisfy our few independents?
