My son Cameron and I can hardly wait for President Biden’s upcoming State of the Union address.
“What do you think he’s going to say on March 1, Dad?” he asked me earlier this week during our phone call.
“That the State of the Union is …. very sad? Screwed? You finish the sentence.”
“Seriously,” Cameron said. “The State of the Union is supposed to be upbeat – positive – or at least hopeful, right?”
“Yeah,” I said. “His speechwriters must be working overtime. The list of big things he’s messed up in a single year is long and getting longer.”
“So what’s he going to brag about to the country?” Cameron asked.
“Well,” I said, “he did a terrible job with Afghanistan, so he can’t bring that up.”
“The economy is also a no-no.
“Inflation is running at 7 percent, interest rates are headed up and millions of workers have still not gone back to work, thanks to the government’s generous and never-ending pandemic help.”
“He sure can’t mention crime,” Cameron said.
“It’s spiking in every big city and his justice department is more interested in eliminating cash bail than catching criminals and putting them in jail.”
“And forget the war on COVID,” I said.
“It’s been a disaster.
“Biden’s still wearing a mask 24/7, but even blue state governors have finally had enough of the mandates and are getting rid of them.”
“He can’t bring up energy, either,” Cameron said. “Gas prices are high everywhere. We’re paying five bucks a gallon.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Remember way, way back in time – 2020, I think it was, before Biden took over and started wrecking our fossil fuel industry? I could fill up my truck without taking out an equity loan.”
“We were energy independent then — and the world’s number one producer of oil and natural gas,” Cameron said.
“Then Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, gave Russia the OK for its Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline to Germany and told us that to save the planet we all have to start driving $60,000 electric cars.”
“Biden won’t be bragging on how he’s winning the war on drugs, either.”
“Nope,” I said. “He’s done nothing about the drug overdose epidemic that’s killing a hundred thousand people a year.”
“And the AMA says it’s only getting worse – thanks mainly to all the illegal fentanyl that comes across our Southern border and is made in China.”
“Speaking of borders,” Cameron said, “what’s this big deal about Ukraine’s?
“Biden’s sending troops and missiles to Europe to show Putin how tough he is. He’s helping Ukraine defend its borders, but he won’t help Texas?”
“Yep,” I said, “he’s working overtime trying to stop the invasion of Ukraine. But since the day he took office we’ve had a huge invasion on our southern border – and it’s his fault.”
“I was just looking at an article on the Border Report web site,” Cameron said. “The headline was ‘Migrant encounters top 2 million in calendar year 2021, on pace for repeat in 2022.’ ”
“I don’t think he’ll be talking to the country about the state of his immigration policy,” I said.
“If Putin doesn’t send his troops across the Ukrainian border,” Cameron said, “maybe Biden will be able to brag that he used his great foreign policy expertise and the threat of sanctions to stop the Russians from invading Ukraine.
“By the way, Dad, what’s the latest on the war in Ukraine? Are we losing it yet?”
“After this discussion, Cameron, I think it’s safe to say that the Biden administration is not winning any wars anywhere.
“Not the war on inflation. Not the war on illegal immigration. Not the war on drugs.
“Given the sorry state of our Union under Biden, I don’t expect the war in Ukraine – if it comes – to be any different.”

Maybe Biden should deliver a Fate of the Union speech—we all know what state it is in. If Pelosi wants to tear his up, let her go for it.
It’s not a true State of the Union message if not delivered to the full Congress, but just 24-26 people from each side of the Isle, Once again Joe has come up short of THE PEOPLE’s expectations. The Republicans should all stand in Unison and tear up his speech before he can get one word out of his mouth.
Fate of the union… I like that.
I have a perfect solution for Joe on how to solve both the Ukrainian and the American border invasions. During WWII over a million Russian soldiers deserted and defected to the west. Maybe Joe should offer any Russian Soldier who defects in the field or changes sides in Ukraine full American Asylum and full Citizenship with the stipulation they have to serve 6-12 months active duty protecting our American Southern Border. We can house many in Odessa Texas just to make them feel at home like in the Ukraine. What Soviet Soldier or citizen would prefer land in Odessa Ukraine to Odessa USA? What Democrat race obsessed BLM terrorist would not have conniption fits seeing 170,000 white faces arrive on our American Shores tasked with the job of protecting our borders, and later bringing in their families. The world’s problems with the Russians, like the USA’s current problems with the Democrats are not with their people or the color of their skin, but their power-hungry self-serving leaders.
THAT is something i have railed about, to BOTH my state’s senators.
WHY CAN OUR TROOPS DIE, protecting the borders of EVERY OTHER NATION On this planet. BUT cannot be used to Protect our OWN NATIONS border..
I won’t hold my breath awaiting a response from either!
The democrats couldn’t Have choosen a Better Representative Of The Best that the democrat party had to represent the democrat Party . Theres the Old Quote that States , ” Nerver Send A Boy To do A Man’s Work. ” But As Joe Biden once Said, ” Come On Man.! President Of Course, We Can Only Hope that who ever Is In Controll Of Joe Biden knows what they’re Doing.
And we the U.S. can thank only the treasonous, destructive, dishonest, socialist Democrat Party that controls the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate for this destruction and damage to our country.
The Treasonous, dishonest, destructive, Socialist Democrat Party game plan is to lie, cheat and steal in order to take total control of the American people,
increase Taxes on everything and bring American commerce and economy to its knees and to promote Socialism.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
no matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
This treasonous, dishonest, corrupt, unethical, immoral, socialist Democrat Party is our country’s most destructive and deadliest ENEMY!
Biden is a disaster, as he is a criminal with his crime family, Biden is an open borders traitor to our Country and Biden is a communist. That is the “State Of The Union”, the destruction of the United States by the Biden criminal crime family.
And puppet masters BHO and Soros. Also I am starting to believe that Bill Gates is the third puppet master.
Its Obvio us That Such democrat Hierarchy Are Wealthy people like John Kerry, George Soros Barack H. Obama Rockerfellers, Kennedy’s ( Tea chers Union Dues) Burnie Sanders
Oh, Bill Gates , no doubt , is Wealthy And A Leftist democrat ,A Joe Biden Puppetier , To Doniate to the party Hyierarchy which say, ” We’re Not Easy But we can be had. “
IF anything, i put gates AHEAD of obama in that trinity of puppet masters.
backpacker:
Keep in mind; F. Moe Biden is but a self-righteous demented puppet.
He is being directed and ordered to implement destructive, treasonous, agendas and policies my his Democrat Party masters.
I see a lot of the traitorous Barrack PinocchiObama’s policies repeating themselves.
Who is it that is trying to implement the “Green New Deal”??
Green New Deal proposals call for public policy to address climate change along with achieving other social aims like job creation and reducing economic inequality. A Green New Deal was sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) during the 116th United States Congress, though it failed to advance in the Senate.
So, to repay these treasonous fools who were responsible for getting “Let’s Go Brandon” elected, were paid back by destroying the U.S. being energy independent by restricting the U.S. oil production. Which did nothing to address climate change. It just made energy and everything cost more and increased the taxes that the Democrat Party controlled Government can collect.
The democrat Socialist ( professipnal po?iticians ) are In Politic because Thats Where The Deals Are to be made. And The democrat elite aren’t Americans But they Will deal with Any Country, no maatter if That Country is America’s Enemy.
AND Harris is even more laughable..
Honestly, I can’t think of one positive thing during Joe’s 1 plus years. He is probably the worst president ever.
To think That ( Basement Joe Biden, ” Come on Man .! ” Is The ” Commander – In – Chief ” Gives me Fear For The Fate of This Country And Its Citizens and I Wonder If The Country Will Survive With This Puppet As President much Longer.
the democrat, Socialist, party Controls ‘ Basement, Puppet Joe Biden And he Just has to read The Tela – Prompter And The Cards Tha Joe Biden Reads that the Puppet Masters have Given Him, Why He Doesn’t eveen Have To Think For Himself,
” You Will Obey, Comrade. “
