What a weird speech.
Biden slurs and stutters through it.
lots of heckling. Screaming even.
Biden says thousands of murders by illegal immigrants.
and, now I am told that snickers bar have 10 percent fewer snickers.
I just don’t know what to do.

Biden can cherry-pick stats with the best of them. Jobs increased in February…but the jobless rate moved higher. And both January and December job gains were revised downward. Average hourly earnings increased, but less than expected (0.1%). Job creation skewed to part time. Full time jobs decreased by 187,000, part time employment rose by 51,000. Categories of job creation — rarely mentioned — skewed to the low paid. Healthcare was #1, but government was #2, restaurants / bars #3 and social assistance #4.
His big problem is that his speech runs counter to what most Americans are experiencing. I don’t know how the government calculates the inflation rate, but it sure isn’t what I’m experiencing. And the disingenuousness over illegal immigration — he supports it for five decades, now it’s overwhelming Dem cities and states so now he wants to slow it down? — is frustrating. And, of course, he got the name wrong of the UGa student who was slain by a Venezuelan illegal…It’s “Laken” not “Lincoln”, Mr. President. But thanks for holding up the button with her name on it.
Katie Britt, a young Republican from Alabama (with no discernible southern accent) delivered the rebuttal…3.5 minutes long. She hit the right points and she wasn’t bad, but I wonder whether she was the right individual to deliver it. I’m a little concerned it will become an SNL sketch:

Peggy Noonan had an interesting take on Biden’s sheer dependence on the mainstream press and how Reagan had to go over their heads directly to the American people. She did make one interesting point — that the upcoming election will be take-no-prisoners, implying that half of America will be disenfranchised…again.

I stopped watching SOTU when it became even less relevant than Oscar night. Both have equal portions of political chest thumping. At least I can hope for a wardrobe malfunction at the Oscars, although the current trend in evening wear is basically a wardrobe malfunction looking for a place to happen.
Not that I’m complaining….. 🙂

As I suspected. The president is literally slandering a candy bar. Official statement given to me by the Mars/Snickers people. Will literally slander anything and anyone. Total hack. pic.twitter.com/6DiJ1Ld6EH

It has been 20 years, dating to the invasion of Iraq, since more Americans thought the nation was headed in the right direction than the wrong direction. The most recent NBC News poll found that 73 percent of voters thought the nation was on the wrong track — and displeasure over the nation’s direction has topped 70 percent almost continuously for the past three years. Never before in the poll’s history have so many voters been so unhappy for so long.
In the latest Times/Siena poll, 47 percent of respondents said they strongly disapproved of how Mr. Biden was handling his job. The president’s approval rating in the latest NBC poll is at 37 percent, by far the lowest for an incumbent president in four decades of polling. But the same poll suggested voters would make their decision as much on the challenger as on the incumbent. That is potentially good news for the Biden camp, which has signaled it intends to make the election a referendum on Mr. Trump.
