After listening to the State of the Union address, Americans know why the latest Reuters poll has Joe Biden at 41 percent approval.
Vice President Kamala Harris polls even lower—despite the obsequious efforts of the most biased media in history that has, in effect, merged with the Democratic Party.
The nation was reminded again why only 37 percent of Biden’s own party want him to run again.
Only a quarter of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction under his leadership.
Given all that, what could a president possibly tell a nation when he entered office inheriting a 1.4 percent inflation rate only to spike it to 7 percent? How did Americans’ 30-year mortgages of 2.7 percent soar to 6.5 percent in less than two years?
How does a president explain that eggs climbed to $7 a dozen, or a thin steak hit $15 a pound, or a sheet of plywood reached $95?
How does a president explain to Americans that gas averaged $2.39 a gallon when he took office and, even after draining the strategic petroleum reserve, it is still $3.50 a gallon—and recently spiked at $5 a gallon in many states.
Can Joe Biden explain why once affordable, or even cheap natural gas more than tripled in price in less than a year?
What can a president say when in his first two years, over 5 million foreign nationals poured into the United States—all illegally across a nonexistent border?
How could Biden explain the humiliation in Afghanistan? The draining of our arsenal of key weaponry? Or the inability to take down a communist Chinese spy balloon when it first brazenly floated above America—photographing military bases and missile sites as it crossed the entire United States with impunity?
We know the answers to all these questions.
Joe Biden simply did on Tuesday in his state of the union address what he always does: misinform, ignore, and attack!
Misinform. After sending inflation, energy, and interest rates to astronomical rates, and then seeing them momentarily taper off a bit, Biden declares that he “lowered” these indices that remain far higher than they were when he entered office.
He brags about a low unemployment rate. But Biden never discloses the better indicator of the labor participation rate that has declined under his tenure—or the fact he inherited a growing economy naturally rebounding on autopilot from a disastrous two-year COVID lockdown.
Ignore. Consider what he will never mention. China just violated international law and U.S. airspace. How did Beijing assume rightly that they so easily could get away with it?
There is no southern border. Joe Biden destroyed it.
He greenlighted over 5 million illegal aliens to enter the United States without audit or legality—even as smuggled Mexican drugs kill 100,000 Americans each year.
He never will concede he stopped the building of the wall. He omits that he demonized innocent border patrol officers. He nullified the immigration laws he swore to uphold.
Biden ignores the $4 trillion he has borrowed in just two years to inflate the national debt, now on its way to over $32 trillion this year. The middle class has bled 20-30 percent of their 401k retirement plans representing years’ worth of lost hard-earned savings.
Idiot Biden is simply a failure and a liar. The more he lies, the more he fails. The more he fails, the more he lies. This is what you get when the media aids and abets election fraud and putting a known incompetent in office.
Never has the US ever had a larger failure at CIC than bastard biden.
Our country has never been at more of a risk to enemies than we are now.
biden sucks
Now will all those who oppose Trump please all wearing Kick Me signs so we can tell who you are
At least one of those grifts imaged above was removed from our government when Trump did what he promised he’d do and repealed the ACA mandate, killing Obamacare.
Thanks again for highlighting just how good Trump is.
Hell yeah. The days when we have a competent President are coming back.
Trump’s got more work to do, removing f*cks like greg from our society and letting them sink or swim on their own.
Trump unsuccessfully tried to kill thousands of elderly and poor Americans by eliminating their access to healthcare.
Democrat governors and mayor succeeded in killing tens of thousands of elderly in nursing homes by infecting them with COVID. Trump tried to restore health care availability.
Sure. EVERYBODY knows egocentric billionaires care more about the elderly and poor than personal power and wealth.
We know one that does. His name is TRUMP. But, Democrats killing tens of thousand with stupid policies and suppression of vital treatment and medicines is an absolute fact. So, the contrast is stark.
She needs to hurry before the people notice the rest of Europe freezing to death without gas.
Ask the Big Guy getting paid by Russia and China.
Head’s Up, State Dept Operative and USAID Administrator Samantha Power is in Hungary, Seeding Another Color Revolution – Deep State Ukraine 2.0
Haha.
And Biden successfully killed hundreds of thousands with a false-vaccine and withholding viable treatments…
…and he’s now killed hundreds of thousands in a war that didn’t need to happen.
Trump…winning, and BETTER than Biden…once again.
You f*cking little toddler, greg. Your coup is failing, globally.
biden has lost his war against Russia
That wont stop him from funding it for the kickbacks.
Putin has made his reservations in hell.
Looking forward to biden being totally embarrassed by Russia putting the kibosh on ukraine
I know you are, and it says much about WHAT you are.
Like Hitler, Putin now travels by heavily armored train (Hit that translate Google translate button, if the cult hasn’t yet forbidden the use of the Google browser.)
Also in the banned Russian news, an anti-aircraft defense system has been installed near Putin’s official residence in Valdai. (Impressive, for the home of a humble public servant.) They’ve also been appearing on the rooftops of buildings around Moscow.
And in your idiocy, you think we should be angered by all of that? Maybe because there is no anti-aircraft defense system for the White House which is, after all, the home of a humble public servant.
Keep proving what a freaking moron you are, Comrade Greggie. It’s fun watching you pee all over yourself.
I think you should figure out that Putin isn’t as sure as you are that he’s invulnerable and Russia can’t be touched. But you won’t, because you’re effin’ stupid. You’d have to be effin’ stupid to be hoping for the former KGB midget’s victory in a murderous war of aggression, just so you can blame Biden.
Angry? What a joke. You’re angry all the time already.
This war was causes by the US.
You know it. We know it.
You really need to stop assuming you know what people think. I am smarter than you because I understand that no human is invulnerable and no nation cannot be touched.
Where did I ever say that I was hoping for a Russian victory? Quote me, verbatim. Not that you will, being the coward you are.
What I want is an end to this useless war. And why would I blame Biden for something that is really the fault of Angela Merkel?
What makes me angry is that people like you fail to use the brain God gave you.
Did you not see the violence coming almost 8 years ago? What were you doing? Watching cartoons 8 years ago? Did you think the Ukraine, Germany and France would not be held responsible for their lies?
You’re one of these idiots who cherry-picks information to create an opinion. I bet you think that it was the assassination of prince that started WWI.
You’re the one who is effin stupid. What is different about you is that you don’t realize it.
The war in Ukraine was caused by the US’s rogue, unelected government, intentionally.
No one cares about Putin.
The lie that “it’s just putin” is long rejected, you f*cking retard.
Just give it up.
The vast majority of freedom loving people wish Putin were dead. They can imagine how much better the world would be without him—Russia included. That’s a sort of caring.
You’re paid to say that, but the majority of freedom loving people…who are no fans of Biden, Putin, or any tyrant the world over…know better.
Two things:
You are a pig.
Everyone watched Putin setting up his damn invasion for months, fool. Everyone followed his bullshit propaganda. And then everybody watched his invading tanks and troops swarm across the borders. Where he hell were you? Watching cartoons instead of the news? How can you not figure this out?
The 21st Century will be a struggle between democracy and authoritarian autocracy. The human mind is where the battle will be lost or won.
Your version of the truth is an alternative to the truth. It’s a purposefully distorted mirror of reality, and it isn’t on the side of democracy or humanity. I don’t really know what your vision of a “fixed” America is, because you never really say. You never get into the details or the implications of them. There’s a lot of that on the right.
The accusation that somebody pays me to say this stuff is ludicrous.
Putin won’t stop with Ukraine: Moldova President warns of Russian agent infiltration
Yeah, after idiot Biden took office and enabled him.
That’s going on right here, those who support the Constitution vs the fascist, totalitarian police state Democrats.
Trump attempted to remain in office by unconstitutional means that resulted in death and violence. His mob invaded the Capitol to stop the electoral count. They set up gallows outside and roamed the halls chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” after Trump essentially proclaimed him a traitor.
Trump should be in prison.
No evidence has been established for those ludicrous allegations.
What is the matter
Don’t want to talk about the quote from the NATO leader who said NATO was not a party to the conflict between biden and Russia?
It was all captured in multiple video recordings–cell phones, security cams, body cams, and news cameras.
Zero evidence that it was orchestrated by President Trump. There is zero evidence of any type of conspiracy. Nothing more than fictional claims of heresy
Interesting you are unable to discuss the horrible job your installed puppet is doing. We all know why you want to talk about anything not biden.
Carry on skipper
You must be referring to the Pelosi/Epps/FBI insurrection.
People who habitually deny reality eventually lose touch with it entirely.
Greg this speech was the best done by Biden, that isnt saying much, he still ended up screaming like a maniac because Trudeau doesnt want Xis job til he completely destroys Canada.
He said not one word about the actual SOTU, cause he hasnt a clue in his mental fog. One thing for sure who ever is controlling that desiccated carcass is the Worst President ever.
Someday maybe you will acknowledge reality once the operation to pull your head out of your ass is successful.
So, reducing workers wages has been the plan all along.
Yes. Yes, you do.
That’s how much leftist blacks and especially black Muslims care about slavery; they’ll lie about its origins just to make political points. It appears that the vast majority of Democrats, if they aren’t outright and openly anti-Semitic, they tacitly approve of anti-Semitism.
Maybe Jeffries should be the subject of an ethics investigation. Someone with those types of views does not promote the Congress in a positive manner. And, for one in leadership no less.
Obviously, we need his full income tax returns for as long as he has been filing, his home should be raided (with live coverage by Newsmax) and all his electronic devices confiscated. Why not?

Another of idiot Biden’s great accomplishments.
Trump did no such thing, but the last time I looked, it was unconstitutional to steal an election through fraud. Idiot Biden has committed influence peddling and treason by stealing top secret documents and peddling them to the highest bidder as well as allowing Hunter to use them for profit. Trump is totally clean while idiot Biden is a criminal scumbag.
Democrat supporters staged photos of Trump’s severed head, put on plays of his assassination, fantasized about blowing up the White House and even launched a full scale violent assault on the White House. You Democrats set the stage for January 6th, especially with the absolute lack of prosecution of the leftist terrorists.
greg has been reduced to fictional tales that have no basis in reality. He is suffering but I cannot bring myself to give a shit.
Yeah, like career, life-long politician idiot Biden, huh?
Too many white pilots, in construction, firefighters, just too many white people. Diversity is code for no whites at all.
There’s too many buttplugs in the transportation department.
When will biden begin his offensive to reclaim Crimea ?
Damn settle down he is trying to start an intergalactic war right now, Ukraine isnt working out.
Greg will be calling for the assassination of Palpatine.
😉
Right beside you, apparently.
Its killing hospitals and clinics, mostly in poor areas but keep blowing the horn.
n a series of reports released in May and June, the AHA projected that hospital and health system losses were expected to be at least $323.1 billion through 2020.
They just cant make ends meet, let alone stay open on what some desk jockey in DC says they should accept as payment.
All gobbled up by huge conglomerates, crappy care, staff shortages this is socialized care here we go soviet era health care ,reusing needles rats running the halls filthy hospitals with no medicine. Just look at Cuba and Venezuela not even a tylenol.
