What is the state of the Union?

EXPECT A LOT OF SPIN AND MISINFORMATION TONIGHT

THE WIZARDS OF THE MEDIA WILL MANUFACTURER A WONDERFUL STORY

So tonight, Joe Biden, will give his first State of the Union address. Will it also be his last?  We can expect a description of the country that is not based on reality, but a manufactured story that will be sworn to by most of the media. We can also expect that rather than unity it will be hard to resist a shot at his political opposition.

While the country may be united for their compassion and support for the people of the Ukraine, the country has made little progress in Biden's first year as president.

Lets start with Ukraine, Biden's first act after being sworn in was to target fossil fuel production in the cause of global warming. He stopped pipelines, drilling and has gone as far as encouraging banks not to provide investment money to fossil fuel producers. Just another fascist collusion way above his authority.  The result is oil prices soaring to near $100 a barrel and that was before the Ukraine crisis.

The increase in world oil prices created a desperate situation in Europe, which had made the decision to shut down their nuclear plants, close their coal production and depend on wind farms in the north sea. When there was not the hoped for production from these wind farms, Europe became dependent on Russian gas which now supplies 40% of European energy.

The Ukrainian crisis has been brewing for over 8 years and really longer. There was no effort by anyone to address the complaints of Russia concerning NATO expansion and missiles on their border. Biden's response was to immediately inform the world that the U.S. and NATO would not militarily intervene in this dispute. This was his first mistake, while he should not have promised military intervention, there is something called "Strategic Ambiguity" a strategy that could have put some doubt into Russian plans.. 

Then he publicly stated that there may be little response for a  "minor incursion".  Another policy error that encouraged a military dispute. 

Then he killed any hopes of a negotiated settlement by insisting that there would never be any compromise of NATO on expansion or positioning of missiles on the Russian border.

Make no mistake, this dispute is not about  a concern for the wellbeing of the citizens of Ukraine, it is result of the long standing dispute over economic and political power of major counties and their allies.

Sometime I wonder if our Intelligence and state department geniuses wanted in fact to bait Russia into this conflict in an effort to crush Russia once and for all. A high stakes game of Russian roulette.

The rise in oil prices coupled with massive amounts of government spending and social stimulus resulted in the highest inflation in 40 years. It also resulted in the inability of the economy to have enough qualified workers which is beginning to result in shortages of food, cars and basic necessities. 

It is a cycle that looks like it will only get much much worse.

He immediately reversed policies and laws to control a literal invasion across the southern border. An influx of unskilled labor that will put a strain on social services, health care and create instability in many states.

He has presided over a party that has targeted law enforcement and now crime is becoming a crisis in most democrat ruled cities. His administration has engaged in and encouraged political prosecutions of his opponents.

His response to the pandemic was just so much authoritarian mandates, while dismissing science data that contradicted his authoritarian approach. His administration silenced any scientific studies or others that attempted to have a reasoned response.

His policies have resulted in a massive decline in the morale of law enforcement and the military. This has resulted in large numbers of retirements and coupled with vaccine mandate firings, will have long lasting negative effects.

He has endorsed social experimentation, racist teaching in schools and even endorsed child abuse by encouraging gender transformation for minors.

Sadly, I can't see one instance of a policy that has resulted in unity. I see no legislation that was not fashioned to increase democrat political power and even nationalize elections. The country is without a doubt the most divided and in the process of entering the worst financial crisis in 40 years. 

I don't recall any president whose policies have done so much damage in just one year.
