State of the Union Address 2024.

BIDEN TO OPEN GAZA PORT

 

Politico reports that President Biden has a big announcement to make tonight. During his State of the Union address, he will order the military to establish a temporary port in Gaza so more humanitarian aid can get to Palestinians in need. Enough with the airdrops, or to supplement the airdrops. We’re going in big time to keep Hamas in business.

 

It’s not clear to me if this slam comes from the administration sources briefing Politico, but it sounds like it: “The U.S. is resorting to this military mission because Israel isn’t letting in enough aid to alleviate the humanitarian crisis caused by the Israel-Hamas war plaguing 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza.”

 

And then we have this: “Planning for the maritime corridor [to supply the port] still faces many execution challenges, namely how to offload, secure and distribute the aid.” Hamas will lend a hand. Of that we can be sure.

 

They are still working out the details, but you can’t be too cynical: “Arguably the hardest part is dispersing the aid throughout the whole of Gaza. The multinational coalition will rely on the United Nations, non-governmental organizations and other groups to ensure the assistance gets to the right places.” It’s good to know they will have the friends of Hamas within the UN on board with the plan. It only makes sense.

Joe Biden's State of the Union Jedi Mind Trick: Trust Me - Things Were Worse

The annual presentation of the American president's wish list, one that never comes to fruition, commences tonight in the well of the House of Representatives as Joe Biden will deliver what we can only hope is his final State of the Union message. 

This particular speech increasingly has become a useless affair. Even the most diehard political observers would be hard-pressed to come up with a State of the Union address delivered by a president of either party that had any meaningful impact on policy, or even a rhetorical line that's worth remembering. For me, the last line from a SOTU speech I can recall was the Axis of Evil section of George W. Bush's 2002 address. It was just a few months after the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., and it was a moment of clarity to identify the coalition of immediate threats the United States faced. 

The ironic part about today's world that Joe Biden has helped create is that there actually is an axis of evil very much allied against our interests - China, Russia, Iran, with junior partners in Venezuela and North Korea. But the chance of Joe Biden going down that road and talking in stark terms about national security and our need to beef up our military capabilities to combat it is about as likely as the President accepting responsibility for creating an open border that resulted in the death of Laken Riley in Georgia. It just won't happen. 

So what do we expect out of the exercise tonight? Well, there's the physical aspect of it, and then there's what will be said, and finally, what won't be said.

First, the physical.

Joe Biden is a very old man. He is physically slowing down. You see it in his gait, you see it in his posture, you hear it in his voice, and you see it in his declining energy. You have eyes. You have a brain. You can process what your eyes and ears report to you. The bar of expectations, based on recent Biden public appearances, is very, very low.

Axios this morning reports that the President will give a feisty speech to remind people things were worse under Trump. 
 

President Biden will use tonight's State of the Union address to admit that prices are still too high in some areas — but argue things were worse under former President Trump, White House chief of staff Jeff Zients tells Axios.

Biden needs a cure for what some advisers call "Trump amnesia" — the notion that the chaos and unpopularity of Trump's presidency has receded from some voters' memories nearly four years on.

 

Roughly 435 sitting members of Congress, almost 100 Senators present, several members of the cabinet, the Supreme Court sending a delegation, military brass, plus invitees in the gallery above the chamber, and the person in the room with objectively the worst memory in the room - one that doesn't know when, where, or under what circumstances his oldest son died, one that believes he contracted cancer and asthma from oil rain on the windshield simultaneously in Pennsylvania and Delaware, one that believes he traveled the Tibetan plateau with Xi Jinping, that he taught classes at Pennsylvania, all of the dozens of false memories he has, Biden's the one who's going to presumably tell 320 million people their memory is bad. Good luck with that.

For most Americans, their lifespan is a linear timeline where you can plot important points in their life. For Joe Biden, his timeline no longer is in a straight line. It's kind of an oscillating circle these days. It wanders from past to present sometimes in the same sentence of a speech.

 

He confuses years when he was vice president and when he wasn't, sometimes under oath, and that lack of a grip of reality is the basis for why Special Counsel Robert Hur refused to bring charges against the President for his mishandling of classified documents. And Biden is further hindered by being surrounded by incompetent staff.

State of our Union address starts off with Ukraine.  :wacko:

 

How illustrative.

 

 

This is bad. Forget the content, which is just weird for a SOTU intro. The delivery is rushed, shouted, and filled with spit
