Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told CNN that President Joe Biden “should have said undocumented” on Thursday after he said Laken Riley was “killed by an illegal” during his State of the Union address. During an interview with Pelosi following Biden’s speech, CNN anchor Dana Bash said, “Madam speaker, one of the clearly ad-libbed moments was during the section about immigration,” before playing a clip of Biden referring to 22-year-old Riley – who was murdered last month – as “Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.” Pelosi replied defensively, “Now he should have said...

Kennedy on State of the Union: Biden mismanages everything

Multiple United States government websites went down as President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union address. Websites for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Secret Service displayed technical difficulty screens for 20 minutes on Thursday night. While the government agency websites are down, much of the nation was watching Biden's pivotal State of the Union. 'Why are a bunch of government websites down at this moment in time. It seems like everyone is distracted by the state of the union so there’s a bunch of backdoor shady...

Just watched old Joe Biden. Old Joe. But then watched the GOP Senator Katie Britt, deliver the GOP response. Wow. She is just as inspirating as Tulsi Gabbard. Just posting this to say, very good. As is Tulsi Gabbard 😎

Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt pulled no punches as she delivered her party's rebuttal to President Biden's State of the Union address Thursday night, ripping him for his "despicable" job handling the border crisis, as well as his promotion of "Bidenomics" amid the rising consumer costs plaguing American families. A rising star within the GOP, the 42-year-old Britt's selection to deliver the rebuttal last week was met with widespread praise — even from some Democrats — as she continues to build a national profile despite never holding elected office prior to her election in the 2022 midterms. Britt began her...

There’s a creepy video of Joe Biden this week in which he gets right in the face of a reporter who dares ask about his catastrophic poll numbers — and then he flat-out lies, as if presidential vehemence can overwhelm the truth. *** “What’s your message for Democrats who are concerned about your poll numbers?” he was asked by one of the reporters waiting on the tarmac. Biden squinted and frowned before leaning into the lie: “The last five polls you guys don’t report. I’m winning! Five! Five in a row!” *** On the eve of his State of the...

resident Biden’s State of the Union speech was trashed by prominent political pundits for its political nature, with some likening it to more of a campaign speech than an overview of the state of the country. "Attacking his opponent directly in the first minutes of his speech is unprecedented and perhaps the most partisan start to a State of the Union address in modern memory," AEI Senior Fellow and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush Marc Thiessen wrote on X during Biden’s Thursday night speech. Biden criticized former President Donald Trump several times during his speech. "This man should...

President Biden used his State of the Union address Thursday to blast Donald Trump, but stunned listeners as he veered from his script to mention Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s murder last month by an illegal immigrant — erring twice by calling her “Lincoln.” Biden, 81, began his campaign-style speech by highlighting his best-polling positions — on issues such as abortion, NATO and the Capitol riot — but was derailed by persistent Republican heckling, including their demands that he say Riley’s name after the House passed legislation hours earlier in her honor to require the jailing of migrants who commit...

President Joe Biden seemingly mispronounced the name of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old Georgia nursing student murdered, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien, during his State of the Union (SOTU) address on Thursday evening. During his fourth SOTU address, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shouted at Biden, “What about Laken Riley? Say her name!” when he began talking about the issue of illegal immigration. Biden responded, seemingly mispronouncing Riley’s name while admitting that an illegal alien is accused of murdering her on the University of Georgia (UGA) campus in February. “Lincoln Riley!” Biden responded to Greene. “An innocent young...

President Joe Biden will reportedly brag during his State of the Union address on Thursday about the alleged success of “Bidenomics,” a term coined by the Biden administration to put a bow on the president’s economic agenda. If Biden does boast about his alleged economic success, it could come across as tone-deaf for Americans struggling to afford necessities. As citizens suffer from prices about 20 percent higher across the board since Biden assumed office, most taxpayers believe Biden’s economic policies will cause prices to rise, a recent YouGov poll found. Only 17 percent think his policies will make prices fall.

Discuss the SOTU address. Have at it!

As President Biden makes his way to the US Capitol for the State of the Union Address, a large crowd of pro-Palestine activists are obstructing the motorcade route on Pennysylvania Ave. At present, a large gathering of pro-Palestine protesters has effectively closed off Pennsylvania Avenue just outside the US Capitol. They are seated around a sizable Palestinian flag, actively aiming to impede the motorcade route as President Joe Biden makes his way to the US Capitol for the State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. The demonstrators are calling for a permanent ceasefire.

President Joe Biden plans to launch a raid on the super rich, hiking taxes for corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. White House officials said the steps were part of a proposed 2025 budget to be released next week, and aimed at reducing the federal deficit by $3 trillion over 10 years. The tax plans are expected to form a core part of Biden's re-election campaign, contrasting markedly with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, whose 2017 'Tax Cuts and Jobs Act' slashed taxes on companies and the wealthy.

As he faces record-low approval numbers going into his State of the Union address on Thursday, President Joe Biden turned to the one constituency he knows he can rely on for moral support and unconditional love — Hollywood celebrities. Biden received a pep talk from a group of Hollywood stars who have each played fictional commanders-in-chief on the big and small screen. They include Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Michael Douglas (The American President), Morgan Freeman (Deep Impact), Geena Davis (ABC’s Commander in Chief), and Tony Goldwyn (ABC’s Scandal). The cringe-worthy video shows the celebrities giving Biden advice on his upcoming...

Thursday night is his first major election speech of the 2024 campaign. Yes, he’s the president and he’s giving the speech in his official capacity, not at a campaign rally. But the power of incumbency is that you get to make your pitch to the nation in front of all the major networks, with the U.S. Congress as your backdrop. There are important governing imperatives for Biden in this speech — pushing the House to take up the aid package for Ukraine and Israel passed by the Senate and laying out the framework for funding the government through the rest...

VIDEOIs this the scenario that will play out at the 2024 State Of The Union speech? The more I think about it the more likely'it seems it will happen. And the shouting might not be coming just from the gallery. I wouldn't doubt if it comes from the chamber itself with various members of the Squad doing the shouting. If this scenario does play out then don't be surprised if the media somehow blames Trump for it.
