LIVE BLOG: Biden's State of the Union

Meanwhile, Trump touts endorsement wins from Texas: 

"Big night in Texas! All 33 candidates that were Trump endorsed have either won their primary election or are substantially leading in the case of a runoff. Governor Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick have won in a landslide. Thank you, and congratulations to all!"

Republican Governors Association response to Biden SOTU: 

"Joe Biden ran on promises of uniting the country and restoring America’s respect throughout the world. Instead, one year into his Administration, we have witnessed complete failure on both fronts. "From the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, to deadly drugs flowing in through the open southern border, to halting efforts to make our nation energy independent, this Administration has put America on a path toward decline.   "On the home front, Biden’s record is even worse for hard working families. Inflation is at a 40 year high, and yet he continues to propose new programs and dramatic spending increases that we simply cannot afford. Crime is rampant in cities across the country while efforts are made to weaken our local law enforcement.  Kids are in masks and falling behind while parents are told they don’t have a say in their child’s education.   "As opposed to what is happening in Washington, or rather not happening, Republican governors are defending our principles and delivering results. Our states continue to lead the nation in record low unemployment and the highest rates of jobs recovered since the start of the pandemic. Instead of mandating our citizens into submission, we continue to fight for their personal freedoms. When President Biden abdicated his duties at the border, we stepped up with state resources and offered 10 solutions to secure our border and help stem the tide of deadly drugs ending up in our neighborhoods. While the Democrats continue to look to find new ways to spend money on liberal projects and programs, Republicans are cutting regulations and red tape for small businesses and reducing taxes by putting money back where it belongs—in the pockets of our citizens. "The Biden Administration should take note of the successful leadership of Republican governors across America who are getting people back to work, standing up for law enforcement to keep our communities safe, and putting their trust in people, not government."

Well, that was a mess, huh? If you tuned in, I hope you enjoyed our live blog coverage. How couldn’t you enjoy Joe Biden faceplanting on Ukraine? How he was unaware that this White House has already torched American credibility abroad. And this administration’s 180-degree turn about the border, which is a crisis they created. Oh, and what about the health care workers, Joe? Weren’t they heroes not so long ago? Their omission from this address was rather explicit.

"We cannot project strength abroad if we're weak at home."

Great line ^^^^

Here we go with the GOP response from Des Moines, Iowa!

The Washington Post is very concerned that covid/mask theater is falling apart:

As Biden mingles with dozens of Democrats after his speech, am struck that this is the most proximity that the 79-year-old president has had to so many unmasked people, indoors, in two years. pic.twitter.com/XrkcVE4XVA

"President Biden’s first State of the Union address mirrored his first year in office—soon after it began, you just wanted it to end." —@KevinRobertsTX

Sick of the President’s lies and mismanagement of our country? Help us expose the truth and report the facts Biden doesn’t want you to know. Channel you inner Lauren Boebert, who called out Biden’s abject failure in Afghanistan, and help us keep the war chests filled to fight President Oatmeal for Brains. The border remains unsecured, though President Dementia now calls to button it up…after he allowed it to become a shambles.

Our own Julio Rosas has been there giving you on-the-ground reports of the shambolic situation that is entirely of the Democrats’ own doing. Your VIP dollars go into funding this work, which is what the liberal media doesn’t want you to see.

Meant to use scare quotes: Biden's "leadership"

Spencer Brown:

The Republican Governors Association has been cranking out content about Gov. Reynolds and the contrast Republican governors provide to Biden's leadership.

And now we wait for Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds' GOP response to whatever that was from Biden. 

That speech sucked hard. Change my mind. 

There's that "optimistic" line Jen Psaki had previewed for #SOTU2022 https://t.co/FP1s3NyoVO

Pretty rich for Biden to talk about "one people" and "one America" after Biden spent the last year telling freedom-loving Americans they were killers and didn't deserve basic rights if they wouldn't comply with mandates.

We *will* be stronger a year from now because I have a feeling GOP will be controlling Congres...
