PBS NEWSHOUR | EPISODE | Watch Live: 2021 State of the Union Special President Joe Biden will deliver his State of the Union address.

A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are calling for Twitter and Facebook to pull down an edited video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that was posted by President Trump on Thursday, reigniting a battle over how much responsibility social media platforms should assume over viral footage that could mislead viewers. The back-and-forth over the Pelosi video is opening up fresh wounds, as Democrats are still incensed by Twitter and Facebook's previous decision to leave up a different manipulatively edited video of Pelosi that went viral last year. Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, on Friday said the "latest...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ignited backlash for her attack on President Trump’s accomplishments as tensions rose between the two following Tuesday’s State of the Union address. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham slammed Pelosi for comparing Trump’s “remarks about our great nation & it’s many success stories” to “a reality TV show” during her weekly press conference Thursday. This morning things didn’t get any better as Trump held up a newspaper this morning with the headline “Acquitted!” in Nancy Pelosi’s presence at the National Prayer Breakfast! President Trump then proceeded to rip and shred Pelosi during his talk at the...

Is there a possibility that Congress could archive the House's torn copy of the SoU speech as the House's official copy? I think it should preserved as is as an historical reminder of the present day House chamber's actions and temperament.

Meanwhile, in Iowa:…and apparently the “deciders” are still counting the caucus votes in Iowa so we won’t know who they’ve “decided” on just yet. But stay tuned! We know it will be someone completely capable of running the country.Or we can have some fun and fill in the results ourselves – closest without going over wins!Otherwise just hold tight and wait for President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. Can’t wait to hear him rap wrap up the events of the past year.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

A number of House Democrats are gearing up to stage protests against President Trump's State of the Union address once again Tuesday, this time after voting to impeach him. Female Democrats are reprising their coordinated white outfits to show solidarity with women, and, as in years past, at least a handful of lawmakers are considering or planning to boycott Trump's speech in the House chamber entirely. **SNIP** Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), who introduced articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, skipped the last two State of the Union addresses. He told The Hill that he has no intention to "go...

A third House Democrat announced plans on Monday to boycott President Trump's Tuesday State of the Union address, which will take place a day before the Senate is expected to acquit the president in his impeachment trial. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who also skipped Trump's previous State of the Union addresses, said that he will not be attending the speech on Tuesday. “I have chosen not to dignify Trump’s parade of lies about health care, his persistent exaggeration, and his personal attacks with my attendance at this year’s State of the Union Address. His appalling performances each day continue to...

WASHINGTON D.C.—After completely mopping the floor with the snowflake libs on the Senate floor, the Trump administration fears that he is at high risk of drowning in a literal tidal wave of liberal tears during Tuesday's State of the Union address. "The risk for liberal tear downpour is always high any time Trump speaks," said climatologist Dr. Herbert Thwayne. "But under these conditions, the risk is driven up exponentially. Not only is there going to be a record amount of crying like a bunch of babies, but the melting snowflakes are going to cause a rapid rise in the sea...

So this is the week to write the final chapter of Impeachment 2020. How fitting that two stories that really matter have arisen to drown this sorry little spectacle in the obscurity it so richly deserves. The Iowa caucuses are a real story. There will be some candidate fates that receive a boost, while others will be dealt a blow. It’s kind of crazy that our roughly 30th-biggest state wields so much power, followed by New Hampshire at roughly 40th. But that’s what we do, and the next few days will be a big deal at the ballot boxes. Whatever...

Tomorrow night, President Donald Trump is set to give his final State of the Union address to the very Congress in the midst of impeaching him. Why? We were told by Democrats far and wide that Donald Trump was a threat to the republic and that he needed to be removed ASAP. In early December, Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke very publicly of the dark threat sitting in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “The president’s actions have seriously violated the Constitution,” she somberly stated in an address at the Capitol.

President Trump is likely finishing his State of the Union speech today. Not that he needs any help, but I suspect we all might have a few suggested lines to add.

If you're looking forward to watching President Trump's upcoming State of the Union address but don't know when it is, do not ask any Amazon Alexa devices. On Friday evening I experimented with an Amazon Echo (a second generation Echo Dot) in my house by asking it what I thought was a rather simple question. "Alexa, when is the next State of the Union?" I asked. "The next State of the Union will occur on Wednesday, February 5, 2020 at 9 p.m." Sorry, Alexa, but that is the wrong answer. The next State of the Union is actually on Tuesday,...

President Trump should tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi he’ll refuse to give his State of the Union address until after the cloud of impeachment is lifted, one GOP representative urged Tuesday. “President Trump should tell her ‘no games’ and tell her he'll deliver the State of the Union only after our country clears the divisive impeachment hurdle,’’ Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., wrote Tuesday on Facebook. “It’s not just America watching the State of the Union each year. Tehran is watching. Hong Kong is watching. Taipei is watching,” Banks said in arguing that Trump should have a chance for a more...

WASHINGTON - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday invited President Donald Trump to deliver the annual State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Feb. 4. Pelosi extended the invitation in a letter that was posted to Twitter.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” The State of the Union and the Democrats’ response to it was a study in contrasts, which you would expect from two opposing political parties. But unlike years past, this year wasn’t about differing views of where we should go as a country, it was more a chasm between opinions of who we are as a country. President Donald Trump delivered. His speech, while long, didn’t feel long. It was peppered with proposals, as you’d expect from any State of the Union Address. But was also full of...

RUSH: Okay. Grab sound bites No. 1 and 2. I want to do a little side-by-side comparison here of applause lines. Up first is Trump mentioning the overall number of jobs created for the American people. THE PRESIDENT: …5.3 million new jobs and importantly added 600,000 new manufacturing jobs, something which almost everyone said was impossible to do. But the fact is, we are just getting started. HOUSE CHAMBER: (wild cheers and applause) RUSH: Right on. Right on. Right on. Right on. HOUSE CHAMBER: (wild cheers and applause) RUSH: It goes on here for about… HOUSE CHAMBER: (wild cheers and...

Do you approve of the State of the Union Message? POLL: DID YOU APPROVE OF THE STATE OF THE UNION MESSAGE? YES NO

“Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: all children -- born and unborn -- are made in the holy image of God.” Missing from the group shot, but there in spirit among the white-garbed pro-abortion Democrats who turned out for the State of the Union address last night, the Bishop of Rome. Like all loudly caterwauling hypocritical progressive-lefties, Pope Francis is big on women, but never there for babies. On the day of SOTU, the most lukewarm Catholic pontiff of recent times purportedly fessed up to the gobsmacking...

If there is an intellectual core in President Donald Trump’s 2019 State of the Union speech, it came in the section on undocumented immigration. In it, Trump cast the country as divided between elites and the working class, with Trump on the side of the working class and Democrats as the champions of the elites.
