President Biden will deliver his first State of the Union Address on Tuesday night that will undoubtedly paint a rosy picture of the country under his leadership. The reality, however, will reflect a different speech, one where America is looking at record high inflation, skyrocketing fuel prices, and a place where the United States is no longer a deterrent keeping the world’s dictatorial thugs in check.
The CDC is relaxing Covid guidelines conveniently timed for Biden to tout a “victory” on Tuesday, but Americans will see through the facade of Democrats suddenly becoming the “party of normal” trying to walk back their support for onerous job-killing Covid restrictions.
Meanwhile, Biden’s poll numbers are still in the basement and continue dropping:
The poll, from ABC News and The Washington Post, found that 37 percent of adults in the U.S. strongly or somewhat approve of the way Biden is handling his job as president, compared to 55 percent who said they strongly or somewhat disapprove. Seven percent said they had no opinion.
The approval is a 4-point drop from November, when ABC News and the Post found that Biden had a 41 percent approval rating among adults in the U.S.
The rating, however, is not the president’s lowest — a Quinnipiac University poll of U.S. adults conducted last month found the president had a 33 percent approval rating.
The Biden administration, coupled with the mainstream media backing him, has decided that blaming record inflation and rising fuel prices exclusively on the Russia-Ukraine conflict is a story they’re trying to sell. They must believe that America has a short attention span since gas prices increased over $1.50 per gallon on average in 2021 due entirely to Biden’s anti-capitalist energy policies.
Inflation as well has nothing to do with Ukraine, it has to do with Democrats spending money like drunken sailors under some false belief that the government can spend its way into prosperity. That’s never been true, and it was proven false once again as we’re seeing the highest inflation in 40 years, again thanks to Biden.
The way these lines have crossed spells imminent electoral disaster for Democrats in November and Biden, feckless in nature, is unwilling to change course:
There was another poll out recently asking whether voters thought Putin would’ve invaded Ukraine if Trump was still president. The result is as you’d expect:
A new Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS)-Harris Poll survey released Friday found that 62 percent of those polled believed Putin would not be moving against Ukraine if Trump had been president. When looking strictly at the answers of Democrats and Republicans, 85 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of Democrats answered this way.
However, 38 percent of all Americans polled believed that Putin would have invaded Ukraine even if Trump had been president.
It’s unquestionable given the years of stability and peace Trump presided over as President that he would’ve approached the Ukraine situation differently. It’s impossible to rewrite history, but it’s worth examining the fact that under Trump’s presidency, the world’s authoritarian regimes were largely put on defense amid a strengthening American economy.
The one big driver under Trump was domestic energy and lessening dependence on foreign oil. Cut off Putin’s money supply from oil and you cut off Russia’s economy almost entirely. Trump understood that, and Biden does too, but he’s more concerned about what the climate change lobby will say than hurting Putin.
The truthful state of the union is rather weak, really, with a porous southern border, a faltering economy, record inflation, and a foreign policy falling apart.
Biden’s pipe dream SOTU delivered on Tuesday will not resemble reality, but he’d like you to believe it does.
