What they heard, however, wasn\u2019t a report on the state of our union but another bucket of empty teleprompter promises for Biden\u2019s year two.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because the majority of Biden\u2019s full hour-long address reverbed like a tired campaign speech. It covered all the things Biden and his Democrat friends are <em>going<\/em> to do \u2014 because if you hadn\u2019t noticed, everything he <em>has <\/em>done in one year (i.e. the actual \u201cstate of the union\u201d) is an unmitigated disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll sign it.\u201d \u201cI have a better plan.\u201d \u201cWe have to fix it.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong.\u201d \u201cI will soon send Congress a request.\u201d \u201cAnd soon, we\u2019ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act.\u201d \u201cWe need to secure the border and fix the immigration system.\u201d This is just a handful of the endless promises Biden made while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rose for ill-timed standing ovations behind him.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Although it\u2019s always a rose-colored rendition, the State of the Union is typically a chance for the sitting president to rally the proverbial troops and do a victory lap, touting all his fulfilled campaign promises and reciting his year-in-review successes. It makes sense, then, that Biden\u2019s speech had nothing of substance to recite.<\/p>\n<p>His year-in-review includes a deadly and disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, an embarrassing branding of parents as domestic terrorists, record-high inflation, a humanitarian crisis and sky-high apprehensions on our southern border, failed policy priorities, medical coercion, energy dependence on our foreign adversaries, skyrocketing crime, a drug overdose crisis, and more. <\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s short track record is so bad, in fact, that the few things he said on Tuesday about what he <em>has done <\/em>since taking office <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/01\/17-absurd-lies-biden-told-during-his-state-of-the-union-speech\/\">were lies<\/a>. He said former President Donald Trump\u2019s tax cuts helped only the rich, that the millions of Americans returning to work after lockdowns were jobs that Biden himself \u201ccreated,\u201d that our economy \u201croared back\u201d faster than almost anyone expected, and that buying American-manufactured products is a priority, among other obvious whoppers. <\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s State of the Union Address didn\u2019t address the state of the union at all. Americans, however, didn\u2019t need a presidential speech to know that our union is in dire straights. They have gas prices, empty shelves, wanted ads, masked children, and deadbolts for that.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Vice President Kamala Harris better summed up the actual state of the union when she admittedly \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShaneGoldmacher\/status\/1498400046307500038\">went off script a little bit<\/a>\u201d earlier this week: \u201cElections matter. And when folks vote, they order what they want \u2014 and in this case, they got what they asked for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this case, Americans voted for a rapidly declining septuagenarian with an abysmal track record in both Congress and the executive branch who was an obvious Trojan Horse for the agenda of the radical left \u2014 and as Harris said, they got it. <\/p>\n<p>After a full year in the Oval Office, Biden has nothing to show for his efforts but a column full of \u201cL\u2019s\u201d and a teleprompter full of more empty promises.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Kylee Zempel is an assistant editor at The Federalist.
