If you watched President Biden's State of the Union message and the post-speech commentary, you may be confused. Some pundits described Biden's speech as “fiery, direct [and] sensible,” while critics called it "an hour-long, mumbling rant.”
As it turns
out, the White House prepared two versions of President Biden's speech. One
version was for people watching MSNBC, and the other was for Fox viewers. I
saw both versions and confess that Biden's state-of-the-union message left me
with questions.
First, why
does our government provide Israel with weapons, ammunition, and technical support
to help it destroy the Hamas infrastructure in Gaza while promising to improve Gaza's infrastructure with a new port? Whose side are we on?
Second, why
does the United States keep sending high-tech weapons and ammunition to Ukraine
now that it is clear that the Russians have defeated
the Ukrainians? Does Biden see some value in killing young Russians and
Ukrainians and turning millions of Ukrainians into refugees? I don't get it.
Finally, Biden didn't convince me that the Republicans
caused the crisis at our nation's southern border. No sane observer believes Biden
has done a good job stopping illegal immigration. No one believes Biden is
doing his best to halt the flow of fentanyl into the United States.
Not everyone
saw President Biden's speech as unhinged and mendacious. Leftist Democrats in
the House chamber cheered Biden on like hysterical schoolgirls
screaming at an Elvis concert.
At the end
of the evening, I came away with just one firm conclusion. President Biden
needs to switch
the decaf. As for Biden's adoring congressional fans, I encourage them to
have "fun,
fun, fun ‘til daddy takes the T bird away." And we all know who Daddy is.
