Last night after a wonderful evening of celebrating a birthday with our family, my husband and I watched a replay of the President’s State of the Union Speech. For a man called by one of his special counsel not competent to stand trial for offenses, he rallied to project a vigorous oration in rapid strung together sentences. I guess it proves he is ready and able to be elected and serve four more years as President of these United States of America?
Let’s say, this is obvious, attested to by the joyous and perhaps relieved ovations from his constituents. Some of the ‘highlights’ of the speech included: The great economy we are experiencing and the much lower inflation rate as well. A constant referral to ‘my predecessor’ who really got everything wrong in the last administration.
Under his ‘predecessor’, freedom of democracy was under attack, even comparing the severity to the time of the Civil War. Ukraine can defeat Putin and we will not send any American troops. Biden’s ‘predecessor’ said to “the h… let Putin do whatever he wants” and this same ’predecessor’ bowed down to Putin. The Prsident went on and on about how Ukraine was being invaded and we must send money to protect their nation from the Russian dictator.
In ad nauseam, speaking about the state of Ukraine, he failed to mention the most pressing threat to the United States until much later in his speech: invasion by millions of ‘undocumented immigrants’ according to the rubric of Nancy Pelosi or aptly described by President Biden himself as ‘illegal immigrants’.
The speech was for us, tortuous and upsetting especially the emphasis on reinstating Roe V Wade and a national law legalizing abortion in every state of the union. (After all we need to make room for the ‘newcomers’ and control population of the palefaces. This is my interpretation not the president’s words.)
On rethinking the speech I believe it clarifies the position of our present administration, as well as, the nefarious characters behind the scenes. For heavens sake, they have laid out for all of us their ‘game plan’. They actually did us a favor. Because we know their strategies for the battle we are experiencing.
As is so often the case, one line from an Old Testament prophet succinctly summarizes the President’s speech on the state of the union.
This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips. Jeremiah 7:28
It is difficult, but do watch the replay of the speech. There is a great deal more than covered here.
