Biden offers sentimental hogwash against
Putin — and doesn’t even suggest we’ll win
Posted By: Imright, 2/24/2022 10:08:40 PM
The word “inspiring” does not come to mind as a way of describing President Biden’s afternoon speech following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “Dispiriting” comes closer.The best Biden could do rhetorically was to declare that “America stands up to bullies” — as though the most dangerous moment in the past 20 years on the planet Earth were some kind of remake of the old movie “My Bodyguard.”Come on, man. Putin isn’t a bully. He’s either a lunatic pursuing a nation-murdering delusion or a man possessed of a world-historical ambition to make himself an equal in Russian history to the Greats, Peter and Catherine,

Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckled President Biden Tuesday at his first State of the Union address — making rare breaches of etiquette to show their disapproval of various Biden policies.Greene (R-Ga.) made faces and muttered throughout Biden’s roughly one hour speech, particularly when he spoke about administering COVID-19 vaccines to children — but Boebert (R-Colo.) earned greater gasps for slamming Biden’s Afghanistan exit by invoking the deaths of 13 US troops in an August bombing at Kabul’s airport.Many of Greene’s utterances were inaudible to reporters,
WASHINGTON— President Joe Biden related a faulty Democratic talking point about guns in his first State of the Union speech, made his plan on electric vehicles sound more advanced than it is and inflated the sweep of his infrastructure package. On several fronts, he presented ambitions as achievements.A look at some of his claims Tuesday night and a glance at the Republican response: COVID-19 -BIDEN: “Severe cases are down to a level not seen since July of last year.” THE FACTS: Biden overstated the improvement, omitting a statistic that remains a worrisome marker of the toll from COVID-19. While hospitalizations indeed are down from last summer, deaths remain high.
Exxon Mobil said it will pull its $4billion Russian oil and gas operations and halt new investments as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The decision, which was made on Tuesday, will see Exxon pull out of managing its large oil and gas production facilities on Sakhalin Island in Russia's Far East. This decision puts the fate of a proposed multi-billion dollar liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility there in doubt.'We deplore Russia's military action that violates the territorial integrity of Ukraine and endangers its people,' the company said in a statement critical of the intensifying military attacks

President Joe Biden stumbled through his State of the Union address on Tuesday, flubbing several lines from his prepared text and ad-libbing lines that did not make sense. Here is a list of his biggest mistakes:
1. Biden mistakenly says “Iranian people” instead of “Ukrainian people.”“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,” he said in his speech.According to his prepared text, he was supposed to say “hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.”
2. Biden refers to “a pound of Ukrainian people” Biden referred to “a pound of Ukrainian people.” His prepared text said “proud.”
President Joe Biden used his State of the Union address on Tuesday night to call on Congress to “secure the border,” after his administration allowed roughly 1.5 million migrants to pour across the southern border in his first months in office.In remarks as prepared for delivery, Biden planned to say: And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system. We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling. We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.

CLAIM: During his State of the Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday evening, President Joe Biden claimed his administration is “actually” ensuring that “taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.”VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Biden’s infrastructure bill signed into law last year provides giant federal carve-outs for industries to outsource and offshore American jobs.“When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America — we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs,” Biden said:
The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure. There’s been a law on the books for almost a century
Donald Trump lashed out at the media and Republican 'warmongers' in an angry statement on Tuesday for 'misrepresenting' his comments calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a 'genius' for invading Ukraine.The former president blamed 'Biden, NATO, and the West' for Moscow's unprovoked attack on its neighbor and accused them of doing nothing while Putin declared two breakaway separatist regions of Ukraine to be independent republics, which then allowed their pro-Russia leaders to invite the Kremlin's troops.It comes as reports indicate President Joe Biden will close United States airspace to Russian planes
Texas voters on Tuesday night chose GOP Governor Greg Abbott as their nominee for governor.Incumbent Greg Abbott won the Republican nomination for governor Tuesday night with more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff.“Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is again his party’s nominee after a commanding win over a band of challengers from the far right, including Allen West — a former Florida congressman.” AP reported.
Voters in Texas will set the tone for the beginning of the 2022 midterm election cycle with the first regularly scheduled primaries taking place Tuesday.Voters will decide if GOP Gov. Greg Abbott will represent the party again, or if he will face a runoff later in the spring, and will decide similar fates for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Key congressional races throughout Texas will also help determine the future of the GOP, with proxy wars playing out in several, particularly in the eighth congressional district in a battle between Morgan Luttrell and Christian Collins.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced the Windy City will temporarily suspend its sister city program with Moscow to show support for Ukrainians. Lightfoot, 59, announced on Tuesday that she asked World Business Chicago - an economic development agency - 'to suspend Chicago’s sister city relationship with Moscow' in light of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine last week. 'While this is not a decision I enter into lightly, we must send an unambiguous message: we strongly condemn all actions by the Putin regime,' she said on Tuesday.
President Biden is expected to announce a ban on Russian planes in US airspace during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, sources told the Associated Press.
The US would join Canadian and European aviation authorities in the ban, which comes amid growing sanctions and backlash against Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Sen. Joe Manchin called on President Joe Biden to ramp up domestic energy production to curtail the United States's reliance on Russian oil and gas imports, accusing the White House of pushing “hypocritical” policies.The West Virginia Democrat said in a statement late Monday that the U.S. importing about a half-million barrels of oil products from Russia a month poses a “clear and present danger to U.S. national security." The “entire world is watching as Vladimir Putin uses energy as a weapon in an attempt to extort and coerce our European allies,” said Manchin,

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie launched into former President Trump with dismay over his comments describing Vladimir Putin as 'very savvy' and a 'genius.' Christie, a former close advisor to Trump who trained him for his debates in 2020, wrote on Twitter: 'How can anyone with any understanding of the world call Putin's decision to invade Ukraine "genius" and "very savvy" as we watch him unite the rest of the world against Russia in nearly an instant?'

President Biden will promote a new “988” crisis hotline and outline funding to combat the harmful effects of social media when he devotes a portion of his State of the Union Address to the “unprecedented mental health crisis” in the country, the White House said. The three-digit hotline is available in some parts of the country, but a July launch will make it available nationwide as part of an interconnected network of local crisis centers that can respond to calls and texts. Mr. Biden plans to propose nearly $700 million in funding in his fiscal 2023 budget to “staff up and shore up” local crisis centers.
The U.S. government has been advising Americans to social distance during a possible nuclear attack, according to a bulletin last updated Feb. 25, 2022.
As part of the bulletin’s warning, individuals are told to get inside to the nearest building to avoid radiation and remove contaminated clothing that could have come in contact with debris when the fallout from the attack occurred.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has caused confusion with her reaction to a moment during President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Biden was speaking about the dangers soldiers faced in Afghanistan and Iraq when Pelosi's response to this topic sparked debate on social media. Biden said one of the dangers was soldiers breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits while at their bases. At this moment, Pelosi began to rise to her feet while rubbing her knuckles together and smiling. Applause can also be heard from the crowd. This moment has been viewed over 1.5
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday announced that he has denied a request for the state’s National Guard to deploy to the nation’s capital for President Biden’s Tuesday State of the Union address, ensuring that the Florida National Guard will not be sent to Washington, DC.The Biden administration last week requested assistance from state National Guards ahead of Tuesday’s speech. The request coincides with hundreds of National Guard members being activated in the D.C. area ahead of the address to assist with traffic and security. Florida’s National Guard, however, will not participate.
A black woman has accused Delta Air Lines of discrimination after a flight attendant allegedly asked her to move to the back of a plane to make room for two white women.
Camille Henderson said she was sitting near row 15 window during a Feb. 3 flight from Atlanta to San Francisco when the women, who were sitting in the aisle and middle seats in the row next to her, said they had first-class tickets, ABC 7 reported. “They felt like they were ticketed first-class seats, but they couldn’t provide the tickets,” Henderson told the news outlet, adding that the women continued the complaints for over an hour.

Kamala Harris just took dumbing down to a whole new level. During an appearance on the syndicated “Morning Hustle” radio program, Harris was asked by co-host Headkrack to explain the conflict “in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on and how can this directly affect the people of the United States?” Speaking slowly, Harris began, “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.” “It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”
President Joe Biden’s nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, apparently refuses to use the term “illegal alien” in her court opinions, opting instead for “noncitizen.”
In a handful of immigration-related cases that Jackson has ruled on U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, she has made a note to employ the term “noncitizen” or “undocumented non-citizens” rather than the terms “alien” or “illegal aliens” that are regularly used in court and in federal statutes.
Joe Biden’s State of the Union lingered far too long, but the general theme was made clear within the first 30 minutes: This is a man with no accomplishments and he knows it.
Honestly, even as a conservative, I expected more. Biden’s speech was badly written, devoid of memorable moments, and came across as a rehash of everything he’s been saying for the last two years. The applause lines felt painfully manufactured, and the president often stumbled over his words — and that’s when he wasn’t coughing.
The first part of the speech focused on Ukraine in an obvious attempt to soften the audience with a topic most agree on.

If you don’t love Joe Biden for all the great things he’s done for this country, you’re an ignorant moron.
Well, at least that’s what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday.
“The polls show Americans deeply pessimistic about the economy,” Mitchell pointed out. “Inflation is only going to rise with what’s happening on the energy front with this war. What do you attribute to that? … The decline in the President’s polls—even on COVID, on how he’s handled it—what can you do to turn this around?”
“Well, I think tonight’s gonna be very important,” Pelosi began, in reference to Biden’s forthcoming State of the Union Dumpster Fire.
