State of the Union illustrates Biden is failing the American people

President Biden should have opened his State of the Union address Thursday night by apologizing to the American people for the harm he has caused the country. Instead, he ranted at the American people for more than an hour in America’s last rhetorically-filled speech to support the liberal base, which was clearly the de facto kickoff speech for his campaign.

President Biden opened his speech by calling for tens of billions more in taxpayer dollars to be borrowed and sent to Ukraine. This tone-deaf approach, which prioritizes people thousands of miles away, ignores the top concerns in the minds of Americans: inflation and illegal immigration.

In fact, it took President Biden more than 40 minutes to address the border crisis and the deadly crime and drug addiction that came with it. When he finally heard about it, Laken Rileypresident He seemed to be confusing her with a college football coach.. Sadly, this brutal murder was a completely avoidable crime committed by another illegal immigrant. Just last week, we learned: A 14-year-old girl in my district was sexually assaulted. By a 32-year-old illegal immigrant Released into the country last fall by the Biden administration. MSNBC’s cable experts may not think border crime extends to Virginia, but this isn’t the first incident, and it won’t be the last.

President Biden wants Americans to forget that when he took office, the border was more secure than at any time in recent history.By deliberately reversing President Trump’s border policies, President Biden invited 10 million illegal immigrants to our country. His current strategy is to deflect and distract from his deliberate responsibility for the crisis he has caused by somehow claiming that he does not have the authority to reverse executive actions. He is calling on Congress to take action, which is backed by a Republican majority in the House. I passed by and acted HR2 Almost a year ago, the most authentic border security bill in history was introduced.

President Biden acknowledged his failures, reversed course, and used his authority to restore Trump administration policies that worked, passing HR2 in the Democratic-controlled Senate and sending it to the desk for signature. You should request that it be sent.

Meanwhile, one of the few groups doing well in the Biden economy is mexican criminal cartels, they make hundreds of billions of dollars each year from drug and human trafficking. But for ordinary Americans, inflation has soared by 18% since Biden took office. The average American household is paying about $1,000 more each month on essential items than before President Biden took office. President Biden may not have to go to the grocery store, pay his rent, pay his utility bill, or put gas in his car, but the people of Virginia’s 5th District do and they is feeling the pain of Bidennomics. And no, mandating expensive and impractical electric cars to solve supposed climate change will not improve people’s lives.

In 2020, President Biden promised Americans an administration built on competence, common sense, and unity. Biden cannot run on that message in 2024.He botched the Afghanistan withdrawal, caused disaster at the border, and passed anti-inflation laws. He later admitted that he had done nothing to curb inflation.emphasizing “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) that causes racial tensions across the federal government, weakens the military for woke purposes, and demands radical abortion-on-demand policies. , Defended men in women’s sports, Supported transgender surgery at taxpayer expensehas violated Second Amendment rights, sought to use the legal system to crush political opponents, and used the Justice Department to target parents and people of faith.

Combined with the evidence that the Biden family used his name to line their own pockets and the special counsel’s report that cast doubt on his cognitive abilities, the president’s desperate efforts to win re-election have left him with a growing base of supporters. Should we be surprised that it doubled down on appeal?

Predictably, President Biden did not take responsibility for our nation’s leadership failures during his State of the Union address. Instead, he tried to create a villain, a MAGA Republican, to blame it on. But as Biden stood there and delivered what was likely his last State of the Union address, he fooled no one. The facts show who is failing the American people: Joe Biden.
