Now We Have Our Excuse for Why Biden Can’t Do His State of the Union Address On Time

President Biden is overdue to schedule his State of the Union address, as reported earlier on Becker News.

Now, we have an excuse for why there are no current plans to hold the address expected earlier: Domestic terrorists allegedly seek to blow up his address.

“Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said Thursday that security will remain tight because of intelligence that some militia groups that attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 have threatened to ‘blow up’ the complex when President Biden delivers a joint address to Congress,” the Hill reported.

“We know that members of the militia groups that were present on Jan. 6 have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with a direct nexus to the State of the Union,” Pittman said in testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee.

“Based on that information, we think that it’s prudent that Capitol Police maintain its enhanced and robust security posture until we address those vulnerabilities,” she claimed.

I’m a bit confused; the incoming President doesn’t usually do a SOTU address the first year they’re in office. President Trump didn’t do a SOTU in 2017 (he did address Congress, but it wasn’t a SOTU). Obama didn’t do one in 2009; W didn’t in 2001, etc. Looks like that’s been the case since the mid-60s.

Why is it we expect Biden to?

Delivered on February 28, 2017, the speech was not officially deemed a "State of the Union address"; like the freshman addresses of President George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, President Trump treated this speech as simply an "Address to a Joint Session of Congress."

I think the entire Congress along with the Supreme Court are just too scared to all be in one place. TOO easy to arrest ALL of them at once inside of a razor wired fence area. .LOL ...... I hope they are ALL frightened of the military.

“We know that members of the militia groups that were present on Jan. 6 have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with a direct nexus to the State of the Union,” Pittman said in testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee.

If this were true, if these threats have been made, people would be arrested and detained. Thus, I do not believe there have been any credible threats against Congress.
