Democrats know they're on the ropes with the midterm elections in eight months away. They hope to reverse their projected fortunes by highlighting one thing while ignoring two others.
The State of the Union speech delivered embarrassingly at times by Joe Biden on Tuesday was as milquetoast as possible. This was by design. He made a few waves with some controversial statements, such as calling to “fund the police,” but for the most part he stuck with standard issues without turning too many heads.
He lied a lot, but that’s to be expected. He’s a seasoned politician with decades of experiencing saying what he doesn’t really means. He gaffed a lot as well, but that’s also common for bumbling Biden. Overall, it was a bland, standardized speech intended to tell his base that he has some control over his faculties and his regime has a few plans.
The only hearts and minds that may have been changed by the speech belonged to Black Lives Matter.
It’s not what he said but what he did NOT say that gives us a very clear idea of the direction his regime wants to go with their messaging in this election year. In case you missed any of the three key omissions, here they are as well as my analysis of what they mean…
Racism
If Democrats learned anything from their disastrous Virginia elections last year, it’s that selling the culture war and promoting racism in the name of anti-racism is a losing agenda. He didn’t mention challenges with race-based issues at all, and Black Lives Matter supporters noticed.

With all due respect, Mr. President. You didn’t mention saving Black lives once in this speech.
All our country has done is given more funding to police. The result? 2021 set a record for fatal police shootings.

Don't be fooled, though. They're still going to play the race card at every opportunity when the audience is friendlier. The message still plays, at least in their minds, when talking only to their base. But to suspend disbelief in their race-minded tendencies, you won't be hearing much about racism in front of general audiences.
This is why it will be very important for Republicans to catch Democrats saying one thing in public and another thing in front of their base. There will be contradictions, and those contradictions must be captured and shared to make sure Independents know they're still the party that lives and dies by their racist core.
Mandates
Biden loves mandates. Many Democrats support mandates. Most Americans in general do not.
Democrats running for office will not be talking about vaccine mandates. In fact, we're already starting to see a major shift in what they're saying about other measures such as face masks and social distancing. They're being careful not to anger their mask-nanny-supporters such as school teachers, but they're promoting the concept that they're opening up the country and bringing back normalcy.
January 6
The first two omissions during the SOTU speech were signals that Democrats won't be talking about them. The last major omission is the opposite. They're definitely going to be talking about it, but they don't want the message delivered by Joe Biden.
The left's false January 6 narrative has not taken hold as well as they would have liked, but they're going to stick with it. In fact, they're going to ramp it up. They'll use election resources from the Biden regime such as the Department of Justice to gaslight as many Americans as possible with two goals in mind:
1. They want us to think all Republicans lawmakers are responsible for the "domestic terrorism" that took place during the "insurrection" on January 6, 2021.
2. They desperately want to prevent Donald Trump from running in 2024 by using January 6 to block him, and they'll attack the people he endorses by attaching them to January 6.
What Joe Biden didn't say during the SOTU is more important than what he did say, which really wasn't much. It's important for Republicans to anticipate the Democrats strategies going into the midterms.
It’s not what he said but what he did NOT say that gives us a very clear idea of the Dems manipulative messaging in this election year.
Biden said nothing about Racism
If Democrats learned anything from their disastrous Virginia elections last year, it’s that it’s a loser
<><>selling the culture CRT war
<><>promoting racism in the name of anti-racism.
That strategy shot down a coven of Democrats... including candidate mcawful, and his blowhard promoters Biden, Harris and Stacey Abrams.
They’re trying to act conservative. They did that back in 2006. Nice try Rats.
His Atlanta speech revealed Biden’s intense dislike for Americans.......
and his displeasure at having created a “perfect government” for such horrible people.
Biden became unhinged in Georgia especially b/c Stacey Abrams was not there to hold his hand .
Biden made one startling declaration after another.
He reviled Americans who disagrees with him about how he has “perfectly” ensured the integrity of the American electoral process.
To somebody as “perfect” as Biden, we are nothing but modern-day Confederates,
racist traitors, closeted supporters of slave-holding president Jefferson Davis.
The one thing we can count on is that Assistant Democrats will assist Democrats.
We MUST STOP re-electing Assistant Democrats.
He DID say “hold the police accountable “.....that’s code for he still believes the police need to be punished.
No mention of North Korea, China, and Afghanistan.
It was an attempt to fake being a ‘common sense moderate’ when his administration is run by far-left lunatics.
“Fund the police” ... after his party defunds them, then funds left-wing nullification DAs who throw out cases and let criminals on the streets, and his spokebabe denied crime was even a problem in the major cities. ??
Biden is the worst president of my lifetime.
Until he dies within the next 12 months and that ‘honor’ will be President Kamala Harris’ for the taking. She’s a babbling cackling fool and will be our Commander in Thief by 2023. Book it.
Just hope we have something resembling ‘free and fair’ elections in November.

Mazie Hirono: ‘We Democrats know so much’ that we tend to alienate voters
By Jessica Chasmar The Washington Times, December 5, 2018
Sen. Mazie Hirono suggested that Democrats have a hard time connecting with voters because their breadth of knowledge tends to turn people off.
The Hawaii Democrat made the comment during a discussion at the “Bend Towards Justice” conference in Washington when she was asked by Slate editor Dahlia Lithwick how to make the judicial system a top campaign issue for voters.
“One of the things that we Democrats have a really hard time is connecting to people’s hearts instead of here,” Ms. Hirono responded, pointing at her head, according to a clip flagged by the Republic National Committee. “We’re really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here [points to the brain] but not here [points to the heart].”
“I’ve been saying it at all our Senate Democratic retreats we need to speak to the heart, not in a manipulative way, not in a way that brings forth everybody’s fears and resentments, but truly to speak to the heart so that people know that we’re actually on their side,” she continued.
“We have to kind of tell everyone how smart we are, and so we have a tendency to be very left-brain,” the senator added.
Add Ms. Hirono: “We Democrats know so much” it can alienate voters.
Speaking of the ho, here’s her brilliant exposition on the Ukraine crisis: https://rumble.com/vw6gf2-vp-harris-sounds-like-kindergartner-while-explaining-russia-ukraine-crisis.html

SMETHPORT, Pa. (AP) — Some Democrats in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.
The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge publicly their party affiliation. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, those who remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.
“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. “I feel like we’re on the run.”
The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party heading into the November elections.
Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from the overwhelmingly white parts of rural America, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the political landscape.
Buyers’ Remorse Building
“With the 2020 election decided by about 42,000 votes in three states, the American people are right to think about what might have been,” argues David N. Bossie at FoxNews.
Instead of running “a real campaign,” Joe Biden “hid in his basement” using COVID “as an excuse.” The major media gave him “a free pass and now we’re all stuck paying the price” as he proves “that Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst president in history.”
He “promised to unite us but never even attempted it” and “also promised to shut down the pandemic, but we’ve lost more lives to COVID on his watch than President Trump’s.”
And “things are going to get worse in 2022 before they get better because Biden is too tone deaf and arrogant to admit he’s wrong and call for a course correction.”
What to do? “Weather the storm until November,” when control of Congress is up for grabs.
Gas Prices jumped 20 cents in my town! Thanks Biden regime!
C’moooooonnnnn, maaaaannnnn! Lower the gas prices!
