Listening to Tuesday’s State of the Union speech, it was hard not to lose hope in the future of the country and the American experiment.
It was delivered with grandiose delusion by a stammering, brain-addled octogenarian. When he wasn’t tripping over words or making stuff up (how he is taming inflation, as if the president controls interest rates), Joe Biden was being a petulant scold, sounding as if he was really angry that someone misplaced his dentures.
He wants to raise taxes, expand the welfare state, all because he thinks he knows what’s best even though he barely knows what day it is. Is this our future? Maybe.
Biden, for all his incapacity, will probably defeat the likely GOP challenger if it’s former President Donald Trump, another old dude who offers up his own set of personal baggage so large, we don’t have room in this column to describe it.

I’m not going to say you don’t make some valid points, but I will say that there’s a lot of swamp to drain in Washington. Clearly Trump was not 100% successful. But he was nevertheless more successful than any modern president in fighting the deep state. The answer isn’t to put another establishment Republican in his place. And people need to look hard at any candidate being hailed by the establishment. In politics, people are not always who they appear to be.
Should have sidelined Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx and went with Dr. Robert Redfield and Dr. Jerome Adams. Then Trump would be able to control the message. He would be able to push for reopening earlier. Then add Dr. Atlas (which he did but it was too late)
Military lawyers pretending they are veterans is silly. They get in the way. Not a lot of USMC lawyers on Iwo Jima.
In the past they were useful for wills and such.
Now they function as zampolit and get operational approval before missions and in targeting.
The 8th Air Force wasn’t running German targets before missions.
They have massively multiplied in numbers. And Beau Biden was a corrupt fobbit no better than Hunter.
We'll disagree on this. So not much more to say. All military service is honorable.
