Ready for Primetime?
Tonight will be the State of the Union address by president Biden. The normally annual update to Congress and the people of the US takes on additional significance coming in the middle of a presidential election. The Biden campaign will most likely try to use the address to present Joe Biden as a competent leader. I have no idea how they do it, but it seems that whenever there is a major speech to be delivered by the normally clueless Joe Biden, he rises to the occasion at these infrequent moments. My prediction is that he will be flawless tonight. I still think they are giving him something to help him concentrate. In any event Biden will have his largest audience tonight before the November election, though one could argue that it is a captive audience.
The word is that Biden has practiced the address with his aides for many days in the past week. His handlers have also gone to great lengths to prevent hecklers from the pro-Palestinian wing of the democrat party from disrupting the event. There are no leaks as to what is in the speech. One of those rare moments when there aren't any unnamed sources. There are no moles in the Biden administration. Will it be another divisive anti-MAGA tirade?
The State of the Union Address will be at 9 PM EST.

The Houthis, the Iran-backed militia, claimed responsibility for an attack that killed three people on a commercial ship near Yemen. The Houthis have been targeting ships in solidarity with Hamas for months; these were the first deaths. No word from the Biden administration.

Good morning
It looks like we'll have some fact checking as well:
Trump announced Wednesday that his live TV take is sure to do some serious numbers.
“I am pleased to inform you that tomorrow night we will be doing a LIVE, Play by Play, of Crooked Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address,” Trump declared via his Truth Social media platform.
Trump will offer live ‘play-by-play’ counterpoint to Biden’s State of the Union (msn.com)
yes , real fact checkers will have to fact check whatever deranged nonsense comes out of trump's mouth.
The speaker's name is Joe Biden.
We will need interpreters that can translate Joe's gibberish into English so we can understand his constant lies.
How about "we need the hostages back immediately" Joe.
Hamas will not give them up all at once. They want long pauses.
Agree. I don't quite understand why everyone seems to be talking about what Israel has to do and not what Hamas has to do. They want peace? Give up the hostages and have Hamas surrender. Until then, game on
It is really very simple. The only good part is that it has put Joe in a box.
He stands between his pro-Palestinian wing and the majority of the American people.
The Biden Admin doesn't want to piss off The Squad any more than they have to.
Ignorant leftist protesters on campuses and many democrat cities fit in with his Pro Palestine wing and not with the Majority of Americans. It will be interesting to see how they actually vote though.
It is funny to see how he walks that line. He will probably blame it on Trump and MAGA tonight.
He could really just call their bluff and the them to STFU. It is not like they are going to tell people not to vote or vote for Trump in the general election. They are stupid but I don't believe they are that stupid. Then again............
The day after:
Adam Shifty Schiff raised THIRTY-ONE MILLION dollars for his Senate race.
Katie Porter raised $28 million in her Senate campaign.
Steve Garvey only had $2 million, and he knocked out Porter.
Now there are only two.
President Biden has held the fewest news conferences in nearly 40 years.
Any questions?
Can you imagine how much Prevagen he is going to need for tonight?
One of the few things I like about him.
Weak leaders hide in basements. Strong leaders publicly face the people they have sworn to govern well. Regularly.
So then we are in agreement, it's better to not hear Joe blather all the time. Now if the other guy would take a cue, I wouldn't have to see his ugly mug every time I opened my news feed. Of course the narcissistic dictator wannabe wouldn't be able to go without his spray tan and camera crew long enough to make up new lies, so here we are.
Every time trump would walk to Marine 1 he would stop and talk with reporters, Biden can't find Marine 1 without an escort.
Spoken like a true partisan. Covfefe!
No hypocrisy there,
Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion.
And President Roomba fumbled through the few he has had.
It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People. Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government will hold a hearing on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 12:30PM EST. The hearing will consist of two panels to discuss the politicization of the FBI and DOJ and attacks on American civil liberties.
Hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government | House Judiciary Committee Republicans
Hunting for swamp creatures …..
Many of them came out of the closet when Trump was elected. There are probably hundreds that need to be fired.
Johnson: We also advanced cuts to some of the agencies that have been turned against the American people.
We are going to cut 3% from DOJ,
7% from the ATF,
6% from the FBI,
and 10% from the EPA.
As Biden promotes Bidenomics tonight, will there be any mention of the surge in layoffs in February?
It just seems hard to me to try to spin how good the economy is for the person who struggles to keep food on the table and the lights on. The economy is good for shareholders, if you have money in the stock market you are doing ok. Not great as all those gains can be wiped out quickly, but ok. But we've heard of the large numbers making early withdrawals from retirement savings, the large about of debt held in credit cards, the increase in late and missed car payments..
Just not sure how he can promote the economy to gain votes for November.
He does have competent speech writers...
Unfortunately, it all comes out in Bidanese.
Then his WRITERS are competent. Joey? Far from it.
Yup the writers are Aces.
That leaves Biden's main enemy: The Teleprompter!
It's not even the teleprompter. It's his ability to read it, then vocalize what it's telling him to say.
Still, there is no way his campaign can portray his as a "competent leader" in any form.
Tonight, should be interesting then. We'll have Biden forced to deliver what maybe his most important speech or as Arthur Godfrey might call it: his "swan song."
That will be followed by Katie Britt, a first-term Republican Senator from Alabama, who has been selected by party leadership to deliver the GOP response to Biden's address.
That will be followed by fact checking of the speech by Donald Trump.
I'm looking forward to it.
She has one hell of a task ahead of her. I mean, how to you coherently respond to an incoherent speech?
She understands Bidenese.
You know, when two asswipes are battling it out for re-election it's not very difficult to predict that the next President will be a shit stain on history.
