Biden’s Remarks Were a Mess, But He Got Nailed for It Big Time Twice During the Speech – Opinion

By Pluralist / March 2, 2022

It was hard to say which was the more predominant feature of Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech. It was a toss-up between incredibly boring – a speech delivered with no real passion, no real accomplishments, and no appreciation of the true state of the union that he has done so wrong – and incredibly deceitful.

He laid the foundation of the cognitive dissonance that would be his hallmark during his term in office, even before he got into the messy speech. While members of Congress were forbidden from having guests because of the “science” as they normally might at the SOTU, Jill Biden had as guests some of the people Joe was going to mention in his speech.

However, President Donald Trump paid attention to the stories of his guests when he addressed their particular topic. Biden did not mention names, and continued on with his business without a second thought. It was so poor that the subject they were addressing was not clear.

He kept talking about his plan, but as we noted earlier, that’s the “plan” that already went bust and isn’t going anywhere. Was he actually saying what he was really trying to say? Listen to things that aren’t going to happen but that live on in the unreality bubble in his head? But that didn’t stop him from lying about the dead plan. “My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot; it will lower the deficit,” Biden claimed.

No, Joe, rabid spending doesn’t lower the deficit.

While he spent a lot of time talking about the plan, he didn’t truly address inflation or gas prices with any seriousness – the things that Americans care about.

Biden mentioned how he would release 30,000,000 barrels of oil out of our Strategic Reserve to combat rising gasoline prices. That’s like robbing the savings account because you haven’t bothered to keep up the paycheck coming in – because Biden has cut back on our energy production options. He’s still buying 595,000 barrels a day from Russia a day, so how can he seriously talk about Russia without at least making plans to cut them off and increase our options, to ensure that we are energy independent? If he wouldn’t do that, he isn’t serious and he doesn’t care about how much that’s hurting Americans at the pump. He’s unconcerned about this because as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has said, they don’t think you should be using oil and gas anyway. Senator Joe Manchin (D.WV) stated that he would listen to the comments made by Biden here, as he wants to ban Russian oil and move to energy independence. Biden gave him a lot of nothing.

The disjointed, disjointed speech that sounded so much like his Build Back Better comments on other occasions was missing one crucial point. But its absence truly showed Biden’s priorities – any recognition of the 13 members of the military killed because he messed up in Afghanistan.

He also didn’t mention the Americans and allies he left behind. In fact, he completely skipped Afghanistan. But just because Biden hopes people will forget, they wouldn’t.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) just couldn’t contain herself on it and you can hear her say “13 of them” when he talks about “flag-draped coffins.”

Biden also misplaced the name of his SCOTUS nominee.

I’m not even sure what he was trying to say here. His brain seemed to have exploded in the middle of all this nonsense, so he lost what it was he meant to say.

Then he filled in the empty space with everything.

He claimed he created jobs. He lied about only buying American-made products, while he had just purchased millions of COVID test kits from China. He lied about Republicans trying suppression of the vote. Told lies about how strong our union is.

He tried to appear as though he was concerned about security at the border, which is perhaps one of his biggest lies. “We need to secure the border and fix the immigration system,” he said. That didn’t go over well. It was even met with chants of “Build the wall.”

Biden closed with the words, “Go get him.” Get who? That was a strange statement. He didn’t seem to know.

It was a speech in disarray – matching the disarray that Biden has projected since taking office. Unfortunately, that’s the true state of our union under Joe Biden.
