I had thought to watch the Biden Dog and Pony Show last night and post a comprehensive analysis of the speech of the man who would be king, but then I actually saw the cringe-worthy display.

To quote Joe Pesche's character in the movie My Cousin Vinny when making his opening statement to the jury "everything that guy said was bullshit...thank you."

In a lackluster performance (the kind Biden is famous for) the usurping geriatric made all the usual endless promises of goodies and also usurped much of the Trump agenda, and took credit for much of what Mr. Trump accomplished.

He is claiming unemployment rates are HIS accomplishment, when in fact this goes well back to when we began re-opening the country under Trump, for example.

And he accepted no blame for high inflation, yammering on about Covid and supply chains.

And he spent vast sums of money last night, including a promise for free child care, among other things - the very stuff that has us suffering this runaway inflation now.

In what was a matter of pure chutzpah Mr. Fuzzy Bunny Slippers promised to get the cost of insulin down. He railed against drug companies for price gouging and then said the Federal Government would attend to it.

This was hypocrisy on an astonishing level.

Donald Trump had issued a number of executive orders designed to lower the price of insulin during his tenure of office. One of the first things Joe Biden did when taking over was cancel all of them.

According to Bloomberg Government:

"The HHS Thursday froze the former Trump administration’s December drug policy that requires community health centers to pass on all their insulin and epinephrine discount savings to patients”

"Centers that don’t pass on the savings wouldn’t qualify for federal grants.”

"This freeze is part of the Biden administration’s large-scale effort announced this week that will scrutinize the Trump administration’s health policies,” the report noted. "If the previous administration’s policies raise ‘fact, law, or policy’ concerns, the Biden HHS will delay them and consult with the Office of Management and Budget about other actions.
"Biden enters the presidency with at least a dozen lawsuits waiting over Trump-era moves to lower drug prices, an issue the new administration will likely tackle in its own way. The Department of Health and Human Services under Biden inherits challenges to rules that tie drug reimbursement to cheaper foreign drug prices and allow medication imports from Canada. It also faces complaints over Trump’s push for drugmakers to ship discounted drugs bought by low-income health centers to commercial contract pharmacies.”

Biden also made some whopping gaffes during his speech.

He became confused, saying the Iranian People, instead of Ukrainian, for example.

Now, with another President I would say he was perhaps giving a warning to the Iranians. But not Joe Biden; Biden's Administration has secretly reworked the Obama nuclear deal with them, guaranteeing Iran develop nuclear weapons. He's used this Ukraine crisis as cover to finalize this deal. He had already lifted sanctions on Iran. Yet strangely enough he did not mention that at the SOTU. Gee; I wonder why.

BTW Biden needs Russia to finalize his Iran deal.

If this were President Trump the media would be howling, and questioning his intellectual fitness for office.

The applause for Biden was quite tepid throughout this speech, only warming a bit later as he stole some of Donald Trump's material and praised our military (a military he largely sold out in Afghanistan and elsewhere.)

Sadly, one of the few standing ovations came when Captain Peachfuzz called for "immigration reform". Now, we know what Democrats mean by immigration reform. They mean "comprehensive immigration reform" which is code for amnesty for illegal aliens.

The Republicans joined the Democrats in thunderous applause at this, showing they are not on the side of the American People any more than are the Democrats.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform has been a party dream since the Bush era, for inexplicable reasons. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants it so there will be cheap serf labor available. But the cost is American jobs and America's culture and will hand power to the Democrats.

If the Democrats want something you can generally assume it's going to advance their power. How the GOP fails to see they are committing suicide - both politically and culturally - is beyond me.

At any rate, the usurper received minimal enthusiasm even from his own party.

Also, did everyone notice the fake smile on Nancy Pelosi's face? She looked like the Joker from Batman. I suspect they took wires and attached them to the corners of her mouth and brought them up around her ears. Nobody's face bends that way.

At any rate, Biden called for more massive spending (that will cause more inflation and further the decline of the American Republic), called for "voting rights' which is code for making it easier for them to steal elections (it most certainly isn't "voting rights" when anyone can walk into a place and cancel my vote. And Biden wants to nationalize the vote nationwide to overturn voter I.D. laws), and promised a seemingly endless laundry list of new spending. He also wanted to make unionizing much easier, so his mafia friends in the labor movement can steal more elections for him. Biden also renewed his calls for "green energy" and electric vehicles - the very cause of the problem that led to the Ukrainian invasion. Europe is dependent on Russia for oil and gas because Joe Biden has been pushing his green fantasies and the Europeans have bought into them. They switched to electric cars and the like and found they still needed gas and oil from the Russians when the intermittent power they could produce was insufficient. So Russia, flush with oil and gas money, went to war with Ukraine to protect the flow of their product to German and the rest.

Biden, while calling for the rights of parents in schools, condemned moves to actually empower parents. He also spoke of protecting LGBTQ "rights" against efforts to stop radical school teachers from telling six year olds they are transgendered and pushing them to switch sexes.

In the end Joe Biden sounded shaky and mentally cloudy. He did not project the kind of strong leadership needed at a time like this. He never once mentioned Taiwan, for instance, something he should have done. Why didn't he say America stands with Taiwan?

After the spectacle of Biden beclownment we were treated to Iowa Governor Kim Kardassian Reynolds. Actually, Reynolds didn't do a bad job. She said the right things. But she had no fire in her belly, came across as a kind of school-marm, the type of woman you would encounter at a church social. Nice, and even smart, but you couldn't begin to see her go against the mainstream media when the time came, much less Putin or Xi.

This shows where the Republicans are at. Terrified by the ferocious response to Donald Trump and his "mean" persona, they want to put forward Miss Sherry from Lamb Chop, or the teacher from Romper Room.

They don't ever learn. Such people are going to be chewed up and spit out by the media. The only President who has successfully rolled back the tide of leftism has been Trump, and that because he fought back against them rather than tried to make nice. Yes, Reagan made some headway, but only some (he lost the Senate, for example, after his first term) and people forget HE was hated and despised - and went after the media and the Democrats quite vociferously on occasion.

Times have changed since Reagan, and if you are trying to restore America you won't do it with an approving media nor the respect of the Democrats. That is a sure sign you are a sell-out or a weakling.

I don't know why the Republicans keep trying this. I do, actually; they are happy being in the minority, not really accomplishing anything. They want the power and respect of being there, and want the financial opportunities it provides, but don't really want to do the hard work. They are using their positions of power to feather their own nests, not actually save the country. The public wants America as it was. The Democrats follow the lead of the media, who want America to be a European socialist state. The GOP does just enough to keep the base from revolting so they can keep the gravy train rolling. Donald Trump upset that apple cart, trying to actually give the public what they had elected him for. That is a cardinal sin in Washington, which is why the GOP hated Trump almost as much as the Democrats.

So while I agreed with everything the Iowa Governor said, I just feel she's a classic example of the kind of leader produced by the Republican Party. Such leaders are better suited to Canada, where politeness is a requirement.

Sadly, there is still no understanding in the GOP that this is a war for the soul and survival of America. They still think this is just the political season and things will continue forever.

Were I to rate Biden's performance I would give him a D for dimwit. He did look o.k., I suppose, and he hung around after so he didn't tucker out. I guess they had him pumped with adderall.
