The traditional address to the nation happens in February, so as we flip the calendar to March, inquiring minds are asking when do we see the Joe Show?
The speech often runs two hours long and we wonder if Biden can stand and speak that long.
My guess is that it will not happen and they will blame fears of a domestic terror attack as previewed by the acting head of the Capitol police last week.
In the meantime….
President Trump gave a rousing state of the union address yesterday at CPAC which I am sure most of you witnessed. The big news of course is that he plans to continue his control of the Republican Party and hinted that he is considering a run in 2024.
Heads surely exploded when he uttered this line: “I may even decide to beat them a third time.”
Trump’s ability to speak without pause for hours stands in contrast to the man in the White House that 80 million Americans supposedly elected to lead the free world who can’t seem to go a few minutes without a gaff.
There were some observers who declared that former President Donald Trump‘s speech before CPAC on Sunday was actually a State of the Union address. There is some truth to that. His comments covered the state of the union, the state of unity within the Republican Party and conservatism, and the prospects for the future.
Mr. Trump’s appearance, however, occurred just as the public, media and lawmakers themselves are wondering whether President Biden will make the traditional presidential speech before a joint session of the Congress.
[….]
In historical perspective, Mr. Trump gave his first address to Congress on Feb. 28, 2017; former President Barack Obama on Feb. 24, 2009; and former President George W. Bush on Feb. 27, 2001.
So where is the 46th president in all this?
My guess is that Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman is setting up the excuse and blaming it on us, on Trumpsters: No state of the union this year because of the threat of domestic violence.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advised on Feb. 11 that Mr. Biden would not be making any big speeches until “we pass our COVID relief bill.” The House did that on Saturday.
[….]
Other factors, such as the threat of the virus in close quarters, and the security challenge on Capitol Hill, have been cited as a reason for the delay.
“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,”Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told the House Appropriations Committee during an appearance Friday.
That is unheard of for a little blog like mine. However, mystery solved when a friend notified me that Sidney Powell posted the link at her Telegram account. Thanks to whoever brought it to Powell’s attention!
I guess you can say I am now completely done with Fox News after Tucker Carlsonwent after Sidney Powell last night. He was the last of their performances on the screen in my house.
Remember the rumors awhile back about Tucker in 2024—what a joke that is!
The lying anti-Trump ‘give me the evidence’ media mob is overjoyed to be reporting this news which is universally headlined: Tucker SLAMS Sidney Powell.
Newsweek is not the worst of them, but here is what they say:
Trump Lawyer Sidney Powell Hits Back After Tucker Carlson Criticizes Lack of Evidence
Sidney Powell, a lawyer for President Donald Trump‘s campaign, has responded to Fox News host Tucker Carlsonafter he said she had provided no evidence to support her claims of voter fraud.
The former prosecutor alleged at a press conference on Thursday that electronic voting machines had changed votes from the president to former Vice President Joe Biden but offered no proof.
In his monologue, which was also published as an op-ed on the Fox News website, Carlson told his prime time audience that he had asked Powell politely for evidence and would have had her on the show but she wasn’t willing to co-operate.
There were many ways Carlson could have said this without the snarky aggressive tone. In most cases like this the host would simply say, we reached out to Powell but did not get a response to our request. It was almost like he was saying: I am a big media star and you dared to turn ME down!
“Apparently Mr. Carlson missed the news conference today,” Powell said in a statement late on Thursday, according to Washington Examiner breaking news reporter Anthony Leonardi.
“I would continue to encourage him and all journalists to review all the materials we have provided so far and conduct their own investigations.
“Evidence continues to pour in, but a 5 minute television hit is not my focus now. Collecting evidence and preparing the case are my top priorities,” Powell said.
If you missed the Trump legal team press conference it is here. It was over an hour and a half long. I was glued to it!
Thanks to reader Cathy for sending the following.
If you were in Washington, DC last Saturday you felt it! It is not an overstatement when I say, you knew you were part of history in the making.
If this massive fraud on 73 Million LEGAL American voters is now swept under the rug, we are finished and our once great nation will be on the same level as Cuba and Venezuela, and that is what the commie Left wants!
If you are still holding onto your Fox News security blanket, let it go!
Right now Newsmax and One America Newsare where you should be. Watch for other media outlets that could show up as the RESISTANCE grows.
LOL! If I were Donald Trump right now I would be directing one of my children to begin setting up Trump TV to crush the fake news media and break its hold on the country.
One more thing! See my post yesterday at RRW about how Somalis are claiming they are responsible for keeping Minnesota out of Trump’s win column.
I was shocked when I saw the stats last night on yesterday’s post, part 3 on community organizing. And, this morning I see the post has been visited nearly 24,000 times.
