I didn't watch. I don't spend my time like that. Why watch when you can read? What do you think could happen? If the Speaker of the House tears up the speech, there will be a video clip. Did somebody shout out "Liar!" again? I'd rather hear about it after the fact than sit there watching and waiting for something to go wrong. I don't want anything to go wrong, and I don't believe anything useful will be said. If it is, I'll read about it the next day. That's much faster.
Stray quotes from the transcript:
We’re seeing these fields of dreams transform the heartland....Urban. Suburban. Rural. Tribal. And we’re just getting started.... American-made lumber, glass, drywall, fiber optic cables.... Let’s face reality.... Let’s give public school teachers a raise.... I’ve never had to have the talk with my children – Beau, Hunter, and Ashley – that so many Black and Brown families have had with their children.... I’ve made clear with President Xi that we seek competition, not conflict.... [L]ast year Jill and I re-ignited the Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead.... My fellow Americans, we meet tonight at an inflection point.... We must be the nation we have always been at our best.... We are a good people, the only nation in the world built on an idea. That all of us, every one of us, is created equal in the image of God... As I stand here tonight, I have never been more optimistic about the future of America. We just have to remember who we are....
We just have to remember who we are... cue the dementia jokes.

Cancer Moonshot???
Didn't Biden solve that, YEARS AGO? Why are we reinventing the wheel? Let's get on to not solving NEW Problems
"We’re seeing these fields of dreams transform the heartland....Urban. Suburban. Rural. Tribal."
Are you sure you didn't grab an SNL script by mistake?
Democrats ditch the flag pins and wear BABY KILLING pins instead. It goes to show what is the most important things in THEIR lives. Killing as many babies as they can get their hands on. They are sick. Satanism is taking over the left.

In the #StateOfTheUnion, Biden said “30 million workers had to sign non-compete agreements when they took a job. So a cashier at a burger place can’t cross the street to take the same job at another burger place to make a couple bucks more.” False.
As horrible a person as Joe Biden is, the fact that he is trying to take credit for curing cancer is the most outrageous.
Why not just run a month of KJP's press briefings through a blender and let puppet Biden take a nap instead? The SOTU was surely past his bedtime. "Baghdad Bob" KJP provides adequate daily doses of propaganda for those into propaganda or dry humor.
Here is a fact sheet for his lies from the New York Post.

In a post media world this is the power of propaganda. A favorable President can recite blatant falsehoods in a SOTU and it just doesn't matter. So long as there are enough people with rules like Since NYT said this it's true or WaPo isn 't reporting that so it didn't happen it realy doesn't matter what is said...
Well, I now have a standard reply to "...the dementia jokes."
That "dementia" guy beat Trump. If it comes to that again, the "dementia" guy will do it again.
Reading it denies you the joy of hearing a drugged-up kiddie diddler fumble through his lies.
There is a level of cowardice in claiming to cover the Biden SOTU without actually watching it. "Transcripts" are frequently put out to make Biden sound more coherent than he actually is, covering for his dementia and general incompetence.
Talking about transcripts is a bigger waste of time than watching the actual SOTU.
Biden’s attitude toward oil is incoherent. “Drill, baby, drill!” was the conservative solution to high energy prices during the Obama administration. The counterargument was that it wouldn’t make a difference for ten years.
Now Biden is saying, “Drill, baby drill!” but you have to stop in ten years. (Fracking has changed the equation, but consider: the Prudhoe Bay oil field in Alaska has been operating for almost fifty years.)
Imagine the Federal government banned grocery stores in a decade-all food would be delivered to your house. The food distribution system runs from Costco (Prudhoe Bay) to your local grocery store to minimarts (fracking). At best, minimarts will show up in strip malls. It takes years to permit and build a modest sized grocery store-why invest the money?
Why invest in a rig in the Gulf of Mexico when the government tells you its only value in a decade will be as a reef?
He only has to convince women.
Drywall? That's the very bottom of the construction totem pole.
Sarah did a MUCH better job.
Biden is a liar and an old doddering fool. Perfect crook for the corrupt elite.
All those people meeting at the inflection point of history and none of them wearing a K-95 mask. Talk about reckless behavior. I myself do what I can to avoid inflection points of history.
"Why watch when you can read?" Seriously? You read a speech "as prepared for delivery" You and your commentators frequently say/suggest he has dementia. Not sure how you can tell that from reading a speech "as prepared for delivery." Maybe he appeared in full control of his senses. Maybe he didn't. Isn't that important to know? And then there is body language, jeers from the other side etc. And lots of time poeple go off script and that is the most importnt part. You act like you are somehow superior to those who watched the speech.
(As for me, I didn't watch it because I wanted to see Lebron James break the record.)
Ann said..."I didn't watch. I don't spend my time like that. Why watch when you can read? What do you think could happen? If the Speaker of the House tears up the speech, there will be a video clip.

Exactly. All TV talking heads are too slow for me these days. I can read/skim through much more material and find what is interesting. The only things I watch are short clips of larger videos and things I want for entertainment.

"What the PRO Act *actually* does is outlaw people from freelancing so they can be forced to join a union - because unions are at their lowest participation rates ever thanks to right to work laws that let workers choose.
This guy is a shill for thugs & don’t ever forget it #SOTU"
Maybe reading remarks “as prepared for delivery” can diverge from what actually was said, creating a less-than-realistic impression.
BTW, James Bond Stockdale is famous for that remark in the YouTube that broached his qualifications to be Perot’s VP candidate. He was the senior POW in the Hanoi Hilton, led his men in the prison camp with great honor, and returned with his honor intact. A Navy A-4 pilot, he held a graduate degree in Philosophy from Stanford, where he concentrated on the Stoic writings of Epictetus that he credited with helping him get through captivity. His memoir with his wife “in Love and War” is unforgettable, and a reminder of what we have lost.
I’ve never had to have the talk with my children – Beau, Hunter, and Ashley – that so many Black and Brown families have had with their children....
We got that talk. We, being my 2 older brothers and myself. When pulled over, follow the officers direction to the letter. Do not hesitate, do not question why. Respect and deference. The darker it gets, the more dangerous it becomes...for the police, by extension, us being pulled over.
We gave the same talk to our children, and our grandchildren will be getting the talk in a little over a year.
This is about respect, and common sense.
I'm way passed sick and tired of "the talk" BS
"Why watch when you can read?" Seriously?
Our host explained all of that in her comments.
I liken it to click bait. If its a real thing, it will show up in the stuff I read. Then, I will AGAIN evaluate if I want to do a deeper dive.
I curate my mind space by filtering out sources that lie, to the best of my ability. So I won't bother reading it and I shut out Joe Biden as much as I can. Remember when Althouse blogged that guy who shut out all news after Trump was elected? He had a certain wisdom.
I did see an image of McConnell wearing a tie with fascist colors, unfortunately.
Chuck may seem like a moron, but he is right about one thing, when it comes to the actual levers of power, and these levers cannot be found in a voting booth, his ilk is in the ascendency right now.
The whole world is LAUGHING at us...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11725819/Republicans-tear-Bidens-lies-repeats-misleading-claims.html
LOL, too easy:
Biden: "inflation is coming down. Gas prices are coming down, food prices are coming down. Inflation has fallen every month for the last six months, while take-home pay has gone up."
He mostly emptied our reserve of petroleum, this is like the local warlord telling his people that their bellies are full, don't complain, after he fed them the seed corn. He did this while fighting with Russia, which is a huge producer of oil and gas. The only reason that prices haven't spiked from the war even more is that the sanctions against Russian oil are pretend sanctions, Russia is selling more oil than before the war, to third countries, who are "blending" it and selling it to us.
He relies on faked up numbers from the BLS to claim that our lying eyes are wrong about the economy, while at the same time the slow economy suppresses the price of gas, too.
Only an imbecile with the intellect of a woodchuck could take this stuff seriously. The press knows it's all lies, but they also know that their job is to "comfort the comfortable, and afflict the afflicted," that's how they keep jobs that pay salaries they could never otherwise earn, that's how they stay among the "comfortable."
“Biden is unwilling to defend our border, defend our skies, and defend our people. He is simply unfit to serve as commander in chief.”

"In a post media world this is the power of propaganda. A favorable President can recite blatant falsehoods in a SOTU and it just doesn't matter."
Yep! Our previous president is a good example of this truth, (not to exclude previous presidents of either party)!
I stopped paying attention to SOTU speeches during the Obama years. They just seem like theater for Congress critters and propaganda for the party in power.
Just remember who Joe Biden is.
"We just have to remember who we are... cue the dementia jokes."
Good one.
But kinda seriously, isn't there ANYONE on his staff who could see that coming?
This SOTU confirms that politics is "the Oscars for ugly people." Or, with Biden, the "Grannys." But Joe could have made it even more interesting by borrowing Sam Smith's outfit from the Grammys. Dark Brandon with red lighting - the real state of the union. Also, loved the red carpet moments too - Dr. Jill's deep throat inspection kiss with HeelsUp's hubby, Kyrsten Sinema's bright yellow dress signifying that she has emerged from the pupa stage to full-on Independent butterfly. Could have been a scene from Hunger Games...which the Democrats seem to be working on for real.
George Floyd didn't even get a mention. As forgotten as Governor Cuomo of NY. My how times change.

Ann, thanks for your blog. It’s fun to come here and read the reaction of your Althouse Hillbillies and taste their salty tears. These are great times. Maybe you can’t feel it, but most people have moved on from having politics as a central part of their daily lives. It is now the era of good feelings…except for a few stragglers like the ones found here.
The fact that a "Cancer Moonshot" (whatever that means) needs to be rebooted says all you need to know about Joe Biden. He failed the first time, so he is giving himself a do over. But my daughter is still dead from cancer, during Joe's first Crack at this. Bast*rd.

“ Just remember who Joe Biden is.”

Got a comment about his lies and creepy doddering delivery?
““Biden is unwilling to defend our border, defend our skies, and defend our people. He is simply unfit to serve as commander in chief.”
- Sarah Huckabee Sanders, succinctly“
Worth repeating thrice.
He never had that talk with his kids?? He didn't tell them they weren't BLACK if they didn't vote for him, like he did to us??
He pushes race as much as Obama the divider does. Actually got the transformed America he wanted. Divided by race, gender, religion and class.
"Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."
The NYT has a reasonable fact check of the speech. Surprising.
"It is now the era of good feelings"
Good feelings for whom?? All I see is hate and division coming from the left. Must be nice not to have to live paycheck to paycheck just to fill your up with gas to get to work to pay double for the food you used to buy just 2 years ago.
"I’ve never had to have the talk with my children – Beau, Hunter, and Ashley"
That's because, as Hunter shows, they are immune from arrest and prosecution.
By the way, judging by all those black men fighting police, "the talk" doesn't seem to be having much effect. Why is that? If "everyone knows" police are brutal etc. etc., why, at this late date, would anyone run away or resist?
Yep! Our previous president is a good example of this truth, (not to exclude previous presidents of either party)!
Actually Cook your statement is not truthful. The media was quick to identify any act or statement of the previous President as impeachable. The media went so far as to abandon journalism in the aid or the Democrat party. They were rewarded with awards that used to be given for journalism. Now they are creative writing awards of duper’s delight…

I am glad you moved past the what had to be a typically ridiculous SOTY to something with more gravitas.
“The NYT has a reasonable fact check of the speech. Surprising.“
Surprising? Or is it just one more data point indicating the Party (and one of its main mouthpieces) is moving on from Malarkey Joe.
So I take it Will Smith didn't walk to the podium and slap Biden. Did Biden dance around as Satan with Harris wearing a Madonna like plastic doll face? What's the hook to get attention? NYPost tried to pump up drama over Jill and Doug's kiss, but it is not like Doug sniffed her hair or whispered in her ear.
Killing as many babies as they can get their hands on
Apparently, there is mystery in sex and conception. To be fair, unlike one-child, selective-child is processed through shared responsibility by way of a State-established religious sanction of human rites performed for social, redistributive, clinical, political, criminal, and fair weather progress. Keep women affordable, available, and taxable, and the "burden" of evidence sequestered in darkness. WaPoo, WaPoo, they say. A wicked solution. NYeT. Never, again, and again, and again.
That said, six weeks to baby... fetal-baby meets granny in legal state, if not in process.

Are we not entertained?
Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years. That means if Congress doesn’t vote to keep them, those programs will go away. Other Republicans say if we don’t cut Social Security and Medicare, they’ll let America default on its debt for the first time in our history.
I won’t let that happen.
Social Security and Medicare are a lifeline for millions of seniors. Americans have been paying into them with every single paycheck since they started working.
When dumbshit Republicans - like Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell -start talking about "Reforming" social security, this is what happens. I wonder how many votes Biden just got by saying he was against that? Probably a lot. Republicans - stop touching the Poop. Trump was smart enough to not do it. If De Santis isn't, he's toast.

Love how Biden congradulated McConnell on helping pass "Bi-partisan" legislation. Yeah, thanks for helping pass the Democrat party agenda "Mitch". That's why giving you a Senate Majority is a waste of time.

I didn’t watch this Biden BullS**t Show (with a capital B and S) last night - as I stated yesterday, I actually was reading my history book listening to music when the SOTU took place. Biden got heckled when mentioning Fentanyl, specifically on his plans for testing for evidence on the drug and treatment of addicts based on the clip of him speaking that I saw this morning. My first thoughts are that he is more concerned for the drug addicts having safe access to illicit drugs and Narcan availability for OD’s than he is in STOPPING the drug from flowing across the border, which is why he was heckled. This is a flimsy band-aid approach to what has become a mass murder project of the Mexican drug cartels and the Chinese government. The only surefire approach to slowing down this drug flow is to close the border and prevent illegal immigrants from crossing, whether they are asking for asylum or not.
I am frustrated as to why this president, his Secretary of Homeland Security, and all of his top administration staff absolutely refuse to even give the American citizens any reason, good or not, why they are allowing this flow of humanity and illicit drugs cross our border unfettered EVERYDAY, 24/7/365. They are duty bound to do this. I recall he and his administration officials swore an oath to protect this country. They have definitely violated their oath of office. The Dems in Congress who are protecting Biden and his administration will probably apologize for this AFTER it is too late to do anything about it.
Watched a hockey game. I can't even get worked up to comment about the SOTU Show. It'd be like commenting on 'My Mother, the Car'. Yes, I know I've been bringing that show up a lot lately. And I'm not sure I ever watched it more than once (even as a kid I knew shit when I saw it).
I still know shit when I see it coming. And now that the speech is over, reality needs to be addressed. And that is something he's not very good at.
For once, Althouse is completely wrong. This STATE of the Union address is a must see. Biden is on so much Adderall he speed read the speech while slurring and spitting out incomprehensible words. This after beginning the speech by congratulating Senator Schumer on becoming the Minority Leader of the Senate. The 72 minutes —broken up by shouts of LIAR, mocking laughter, and shouts of IT’S YOUR FAULT — breezed by so quickly it was almost entertaining.
making the wealthy pay their fair share
Serious Question.. What IS their 'fair share'?
How much of IRS revenue should come from the top 10%?
How much of IRS revenue should come from the top 1%?
How much of IRS revenue should come from the top .1%?
HOW MUCH IS THEIR 'FAIR SHARE'???

iowan2-- Right? Who *doesn't* give their kids the talk? People who want their kids to be shot by the police?
by the by, many of the people who have been shot- although they don't deserve it!- have not abided by the rules of "the talk". They've run. They've tried to take off in their cars. Hey guys! How about you do what our parents told us to do in "The talk"??
"My Mother the Car" sure occupies a lot of mind space in American culture for the number of people who watched it. I watched it only because we only had one channel at the time. Oh yeah, and the parents were Dick Van Dyke fans, so we were allowed.
"Why watch when you can read?"
I find myself asking that a lot lately. Why do all these people, who claim to have something important to tell me, insist on telling me in an hour-long video, two thirds of which is irrelevant piffle? I guess it's too much work to write it down.
Some on team D - do not want Joe.
The elite mob-boss corruption elite - DO want Biden. He's perfect. (for them)
Somebody created an endless episode of Seinfeld with AI, and it got deleted after making an "anti-trans" joke four days in. An endless SOTU about nothing? It's probably inevitable.

They're not. Far more illegal immigrants are being expelled before getting across the border or apprehended and held in detention than are actually making it into our country.
I have had many talks with my daughter. It’s called parenting.
"Cook - the subject is Joe Biden."
No, the subject is lies told by the POTUS, but presented as if it is unique--or uniquely greater--than has been the norm. ALL administrations lie, and they all lie profusely. If you want to gripe about Biden's lies,fine, but be honest and admit to the profuse lies of previous Presidents. The outrage would be more convincing if you took issue with lies of presidents you support (while they're in office) as much as with those you don't.
They're not. Far more illegal immigrants are being expelled before getting across the border or apprehended and held in detention than are actually making it into our country.
Citation please.
Biden did great on the Social Security & Medicare issue. He started out by accusing some Republicans of wanting to “Sunset” the programs, and was roundly booed. Then he moved on to saying “well then, I guess we’re all agreed they are not to be touched “. And the moron/sheeple/Congresscritters all stood up and clapped — because what else could they do — and then he repeated that no one wanted to cut the programs, to yet more applause.
So he leveraged opposition to sunsetting the programs into agreement that they would not be cut. Good politics.
You could see the relief in Kammy's smile knowing The Juicers did their magic well enough to push the 25th Am issue off for a while.
As a freelancer, fuck joementia and his Pro Act.
With Joe, the Lillian Hellman Rule applies.
Robert Cook said: Far more illegal immigrants are being expelled before getting across the border or apprehended and held in detention than are actually making it into our country.
Basic arithmetic shows that it is quite possible for the ratio of failed attempts to successful attempts to fall while the total number of successes goes up. All that takes is a surge in the number of attempts.
Surely you don't believe that that number has fallen under Biden.
Biden is in Wisconsin pitching Trumponomics.
“The NYT has a reasonable fact check of the speech. Surprising.“
Surprising? Or is it just one more data point indicating the Party (and one of its main mouthpieces) is moving on from Malarkey Joe.
My current metaphor is the media is in the ‘Lucy convincing Charlie Brown to try and kick the football’ part of the election cycle. They need to build a few ounces of credibility so the rubes will tune in for the full out propaganda come next year…
5 million illegals entered under Biden, with an estimated 1 million gotaways.
Those detention centers must be truly massive.
They're not. Far more illegal immigrants are being expelled before getting across the border or apprehended and held in detention than are actually making it into our country.
Cook wastes pixels complaining about presidents lying then posts this.
"Surely you don't believe that that number has fallen under Biden."
He believes whatever he needs to believe in defense of Joe Biden.

I didn't watch any of it last night but today Steve Bannon and Lou Dobbs brought up a good point about her speech. Not once in the speech did she mention Trump's name. He is responsible for her being elected governor and she never mentioned his name.
The lines quoted above seem to embody the ideas of a party of special interests.
"To be a [classical] liberal is to have realized that a special privilege conceded to a small group to the disadvantage of others cannot, in the long run, be preserved without a fight (civil war): but that, on the other hand, one cannot bestow privileges on the majority, since these then cancel one another out in their value for those whom they are supposed to specially favor, and the only net result is a reduction in the productivity of social labor."
Mises, Ludwig von (1927). Liberalism
In 1960s/1970s TV, junk is the gold standard. The worse the better. Everything is getting to be that way. Joe Biden is our Jerry Van Dyke or Bob Denver.
The Establishment media take Biden's humble everyman routine seriously. Talk radio sees through it. I wonder if the rest of the country is taken in.
"Name me a world leader who would change places with Xi Jinping! Name me one!"

I buy groceries for myself and my mother once a week. Averaged over time (no item goes unpurchased for longer than 8 months according to my spreadsheet-Drano equivalent from Walmart), the items purchased are the same, and the same quantity. It has been just myself, Mom, and the cat since August 2018. Here are the 3- month running averages of my weekly bills:
(October-December 2018)- $93.60
(January-March 2019)- $95.85
(April-June 2019)- $95.01
(July-September 2019)- $98.43
(October-December 2019)- 100.04
(January-March 2020)- $93.33
(April-June 2020)- $88.65
(July-September 2020)- $92.54
(October-December 2020)- $101.11
(January-March 2021)- $102.56
(April-June 2021)- $105.84
(July-September 2021)- 109.32
(October-December 2021)- $113.93
(January-March 2022)- $119.34
(April-June 2022)- $125.59
(July-September 2022)- $130.22
(October-December 2022)- $136.02
And so far in the first 5 weeks of 2023, running at $143.00/week. And, this is with me substituting generics for pretty much everything over the last couple of years now (Great Value TP instead of Charmin etc). If I bought exactly the same brands of items as I did in 2019, the weekly bill would likely be over $160-170/week easily. Just today, I paid $7 for a bottle of shampoo that cost me under $3.50 just 2 years ago. Biden and his fellatrices can brag all they want, but the above is the reality of the Biden economy, and even his supporters know this.
His kids didn't get The Talk, they got a Senator Biden card to pull out.
I dislike it when these speeches use people in the audience as propaganda props. His use of Paul Pelosi at the end is particularly bad here.

He was a thoughtful, courageous individual. He was the first guy in and the last guy out of a war that many Americans, including our new president, choose not to dirty their hands with".
Might have butchered the above, but all from memory.
He deserves more than being a punchline in history. Shame.
It was Fauci's pandemic, liar Muttman, he funded it, he mismanaged it, and he killed people with both the virus and the "cure," and he continues to get rich and lie about it.
