Democrats can’t stand up for America.
President Trump’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night got off to an auspicious start when, just a few minutes in, sergeants at arms (they were not masked) hustled the noisome Rep. Al Green (D-TX) and his gilded cane out of the chambers. Did not attend a GOP watch party but guessing some of the kibitzers commented, “That’s a start.” (Green held sign saying “Black people are not apes.” Well, Trump did ask for it.)
A goodly number of Democrat(ic) lawmakers chose to go AWOL and held their own event. Reminded the indentured servants of Wisconsin Democrats running off to Rockford IL over Act 10. Nothing is so soothing as taking your marbles to play in your own pen.
Worked hard for our RINO badge but gotta say, loved every minute of this State of the Union address. There were a lot of those minutes: speech clocked in at 2:13:05 — a new Olympic record! Like the hockey team he feted, Trump scored on goal in overtime. America witnessed a master at work. Donald Trump knows how to play his audience; knows his cameras, is generally right on the issues. Like Seinfeld’s NEWMAN!, helps to have a nemesis. Democrats always oblige!
Pointed out a young woman in the gallery who survived medical gender reassignment, forced by a Woke judge until Republicans intervened. They stood Tuesday night to applaud her victory. Not the Democrats. Trump took notice:
These people are crazy, aren’t they!
Stand if you are able
Trump at 1:28:48 asked Congress to stand if they agreed with the premise that “the first duty of the American government its to protect American citizens — not illegal aliens.” Big blinking sign: TRAP AHEAD! Democrats jumped into the tar pit anyway. Sat on their hands! Had not the wit to (just imagine) break out into an a cappella “God Bless America.” Trump played the camera like Jack Benny, looking stage left (his right) at the dour Democrat contingent and shook his head as if to say There They Go Again. After nearly two minutes of standing applause on the Republican side, Trump scolded Democrats
“You should be ashamed of yourselves for not standing up.”
Observed that Democrats voted against giving taxpayers a break. Showed unusual restraint in describing as only “unfortunate” the court’s nixing of his emergency tariffs. (Cutaway shot to four poker faced justices.) Mentioned Ukraine only in passing. Said gas is real cheap in Iowa. The Veep is going to declare war on fraud. This should be his third term. Singled out (alone of his sprawling cabinet) Mark O’Rubio for praise. (He is, indeed, one of the great secretaries of state — ranking with Kissinger, Dulles, and Acheson.) No Epstein, of course.
This is your life: FREE!
Sprang a man named Enrique from a Venezuelan prison. And Now Here He Is! Double doors swing open and Enrique emerges to press wet faces with his daughter. Ralph Edwards (Google him) could not have scripted it better. Paid tribute to the two families of National Guard victims attacked by an Afghan refugee, One of the Guardsmen survived — Trump said due to his mother’s prayers. A general pinned the Purple Heart on the obviously impaired young man. Back at the Manor, the Lovely Lisa teared up.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: That’s all the audience reaction meter we need. (Ol’ Sparky is once again on the fritz.) Trump was compassionate (if he faked it, he’s a better actor that George Clooney), optimistic, even sunny. Said “The golden age of America is upon us.” If you’ve seen his White House, you know he’s not kidding.
The President said it: “One of the great things about the state of the union is it gives everyone a chance to see what their representatives really believe.” There’s enough B roll from Tuesday 02-24-26 to show Democrats in favor of open borders, DEI, boys in the girls’ room, weak military, high taxes, insider trading, drug cartels, and general fecklessness.
