The Real State of the Union
Posted By: Imright, 3/11/2024 6:11:21 PM
Most of the time, a president’s State of the Union speech is avuncular. I wouldn’t say paternal because, as we know, paternalism is next to patriarchy is next to women as sexual objects is next to Adam noticing that Eve was naked. The point of a president presenting himself as everyone’s favorite uncle is to sell us on the idea that all is well in the Land of Oz: “all friendly like” as Eliza Doolittle put it. But obviously, right now in Bidenomics America, everything is not under control. So forget Uncle Joe. It was Biden the Barbarian, politics red in tooth and claw, on Thursday night. Naturally, the president started out

It would be a tough call as to which Democrat had the slimiest questioning of Special Counsel Robert Hur before Congress on Tuesday as he testified on his report about Joe Biden's handling of classified documents. There was Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) attacking Hur, saying that he should have left out the parts about Joe Biden's failed memory. But as Hur noted, that was critical to his analysis, and so he wasn't going to "sanitize" it to play politics.
There was Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) accidentally opening up the door and blowing up the Democratic narrative that
Washington— President Joe Biden, who took office aiming to steady a nation convulsed by the coronavirus pandemic and the Jan. 6 insurrection, clinched a second straight Democratic nomination Tuesday and set up an all-but-certain rematch with the predecessor he blames for destabilizing the country.
Biden became his party’s presumptive nominee when he won enough delegates in Georgia. That pushed Biden’s count past 1,968 for a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this August, where his nomination will be made official.
For the Joe Biden administration from hell, ‘America last’ is a mantra that pervades every aspect of government.
When it comes to National Defense, it isn’t any different.
That’s why it isn’t surprising that the Pentagon will rush about $300 million in weapons to Ukraine after finding some ‘surprise’ cost savings in its contracts – despite the fact that the US military itself is deeply overdrawn and needs at least $10 billion to replenish all the inventory it has pulled from its stocks to help Kiev.
The House voted to adopt a resolution Tuesday claiming that President Joe Biden has created the 'worst border security crisis' the country has ever experienced.
The resolution passed the House on a vote 226 - 193. Notably, 14 Democrats voted in favor of the resolution.
Democrat Reps. Jared Moskowitz, Henry Cuellar, Jared Golden and Mary Peltolta were among those who voted in favor of the resolution. The measure specifically denounced the Biden administration's border policies and claimed he has incentivized over 9.3 million illegal migrants to arrive at the U.S. southern border since he took office.
Former Special Counsel Robert Hur testified at the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that the White House tried to interfere with his report to the Attorney General on President Joe Biden’s abuse of classified documents.
Specifically, he confirmed that the White House wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradey Weinsheimer, who were supervising Hur’s work, asking for changes to Hur’s comment on Biden’s poor memory. The testimony confirmed earlier reports of attempted interference by the Biden White House in the investigation.
Special Counsel Robert Hur is testifying before Congress today.
Hur was subpoenaed in February to testify before Congress regarding his findings in the Joe Biden classified documents case.
Special Counsel Robert Hur last month released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Biden’s stolen classified documents were scattered all over the place in damaged cardboard boxes and unlocked drawers at the Penn Biden Center. The documents were also easily accessible in Biden’s Delaware garage and basement den.
In a recent episode of Tucker Carlson’s talk show, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made a guest appearance, sparking a conversation that delved into their respective firings, the January 6 tapes, and Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin.
It can be recalled that CNN announced in 2021 that the cable network fired host Chris Cuomo, “effective immediately,” following an investigation into Cuomo using his journalism contacts to help defend his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), when he was facing numerous allegations of sexual assault by female staffers.
Cuomo also quit his SiriusXM radio show after being fired from CNN.

Protests to Topple Netanyahu for ‘Moderate’ Leader 17 replies
U.S. intelligence agencies are claiming that they “expect” protests to bring down the Israeli government and replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been an obstacle to President Joe Biden’s plans for the Middle East.
The claim emerged in the latest “Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community,” and was published by both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times Monday evening, suggesting a coordinated leak to the media.
The assessment says: Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has publicly stated his opposition to postwar diplomacy with the Palestinian Authority (PA) toward territorial compromise.

Former Mar-a-Lago employee Brian Butler said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he realized “something is going on” when he saw the boxes in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of former President Donald Trump were the boxes he remembered loading onto a plane.
Partial transcript as follows:
KAITLAN COLLINS: Brian Butler told us about how he was on this day in June 2022, not knowing what exactly he was doing, but he was asked to help load boxes, banker boxes, on to Trump’s plane at an airport in Palm Beach, Florida as the former president was set to go to New Jersey. Now what he did not realize
The White House insisted President Biden 'did not apologize' for using the term 'illegal' to describe the alleged killer of Laken Riley, as the blowback from a tense exchange in his State of the Union speech last week continues.
As the White House put it, Biden 'used a different word' when he sought to clean up the comment in an interview on MSNBC.
'I shouldn’t have used illegal, it’s undocumented,' Biden said during a taped interview with the network in Atlanta Saturday.

Is New York City Really Dead?

There is a hilarious YouTube video titled What NYC is Now mocking the disgraceful state of the city’s lawless state that is now a haven for criminals.
The video may be in fun, but is sadly based on fact.
Far too many edicts coming from Mayor Eric Adams’ administration are simply mind-boggling. The city has been invaded by illegal immigrants from several countries and the mayor has ordered that they be sheltered in hotels, schools and senior residencies, displacing senior veterans, and resident citizens. In addition, a pilot program will be giving them $10,000 prepaid debit cards to buy certain items. What?!!
President Joe Biden marked the beginning of Ramadan by issuing a statement recognizing the “moment of immense pain” for many Muslim Americans while affirming his efforts to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Biden, who says he is pushing to establish a truce in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, wrote in the statement Sunday evening: Tonight—as the new crescent moon marks the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan—Jill and I extend our best wishes and prayers to Muslims across our country and around the world.
The sacred month is a time for reflection and renewal. This year, it comes at a moment of
President Joe Biden's budget proposal includes a 25% tax hike on billionaires, tax breaks for families, new social programs, and lower health care costs - all designed to appeal to voters as he seeks a second term.
His plan, released on Monday, will serve as important message to voters as he seeks to reassure them about his stewardship of the economy and his plans to lower the deficit.
It will also serve as a contrast between his vision for the country and that of his rival Donald Trump.
Trust is foundational in relationships, whether between individuals or between individuals and institutions. A Gallup survey from last summer found, “Americans’ faith in major societal institutions hasn’t improved over the past year following a slump in public confidence in 2022.” (snip) Doctors, hospitals, and healthcare systems used to be held in high esteem, but no more. Aren’t these the “experts” in white coats? What happened to that trust? Why do only 1 in 3 Americans trust what was once a sacred healing profession? (snip) What is interesting is the partisan divide, with Democrats far more trusting in medical instructions than Republicans.
The House subcommittee investigating the January 6th committee has released a report they claim pokes holes in Cassidy Hutchinson's dramatic testimony about Donald Trump's actions on that day.
Their report claims that former White House aide Hutchinson's testimony that Trump lunged for the steering wheel of the Beast when a driver would not take him to the Capitol was not corroborated by four other former White House staffers.
The report is made up of transcribed interviews conducted by the January 6 Committee, led by Democrats last Congress.

$5.5T in tax hikes, plans for ‘highest
burden’ in US history 23 replies
President Biden unveiled his election-year budget pitch Monday, calling for $5.5 trillion in tax increases by raising rates on the wealthy and corporations — while driving up spending by $7.3 trillion on defense, federal benefit programs, affordable housing and student debt cancellation, among other proposals.
The fiscal year 2025 budget — which is highly unlikely to be approved by Congress — matches last year’s topline tax increase level and spends $300 billion more while purportedly cutting the federal deficit by $3 trillion over the next 10 years, the White House said on Monday.
Alright, alright, alright. All the right people are pearl clutching as the new MAGA RNC leadership starts eliminating positions, reprioritizing the Republican National Committee on the functions that matter, and canceling professionally republican vendor contracts.
Essentially, the business end of the professionally republican RNC is being taken apart and retooled as a more election centric operation. WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.
All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers

A Massachusetts town that adopted an unusual ordinance banning the sale of tobacco to anyone born in the 21st century is being looked at as a possible model for other cities and towns hoping to further clamp down on cigarettes and tobacco products. The bylaw — the first of its kind in the country — was adopted by Brookline in 2020 and last week was upheld by the state’s highest court, opening the door for other communities to adopt similar bans that will, decades from now, eventually bar all future generations from buying tobacco.
Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC. All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut. In a letter to some political and data staff, Sean Cairncross, the RNC’s new chief operating officer,
Fifty-seven percent of Democrat voters would oppose Congress certifying the 2024 election if former President Donald Trump wins, a Rasmussen Reports poll found Monday.
The poll asked likely voters: “Some Democrats in Congress have said that if Trump wins this year’s election, they will vote against certifying the election results because of Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. Do you support or oppose Democrats refusing to certify the election results if Trump wins?”
57 percent of Democrats would oppose certification.
Nearly two-thirds of “liberals” said they would oppose certification.
