In other words, the president wasted his time trying convince average Americans their lying eyes are deceiving.<\/p>\n<p>To help condense and review his speech, we thought we\u2019d give the alleged former, full-time professor at Penn a grade of his own.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a SparkNotes version of the speech that he slurred his way through: The economy is booming, the border is secure, Ukraine is winning the war (they just need one more round of billions), climate change will kill us all, and Republicans are the divisive ones \u2014 not the guy who called 75 million Americans \u201cultra MAGA extremists\u201d They are threatening democracy. Oh, they also think that women can be men and that abortion is a gift God has given to be protected.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to point out, that\u2019s all a load of <em>malarkey<\/em> \u2014 as the Big Guy likes to say.<\/p>\n<p>Worse, it was not a unique speech. It was a campaign speech and did not pretend to be the State of the Union. He repeated tired lines that we all know. He even regurgitated lines from last year\u2019s State of the Union.<\/p>\n<p>Curiously, it seems that Biden spent a lot of time discussing things yet to come \u2014 not the state of the country as is. With dismal approval ratings, and the vast majority of Americans not wanting him to run again, it\u2019s easy to see why he\u2019d want to talk about the days ahead instead of what has been under Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a more detailed report card breaking down Biden\u2019s speech. The final grade is at bottom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the president, he claimed that he has created 12,000,000 jobs in his first two years of office. PolitiFact called this absurd. Many of those jobs were ones that came back from before the pandemic \u2014 not brand-new jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Even the president boasted that his administration had worked to bring down <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1623151460237148160?s=20&#038;t=VpCIah9nrlYN5wtmglYWiQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inflation<\/a>\u00a0while ignoring the fact that it\u2019s still much higher than when he came into office.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire reported earlier \u2014 and as any American who does weekly shopping knows \u2014 prices are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/by-the-numbers-the-state-of-bidens-america-is-absolutely-abysmal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Through the roof<\/a> All across the board. Record <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/record-numbers-worse-off-recipe-political-discontent-poll\/story?id=96884607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Numbers of Americans<\/a> They claim they are in worse shape than before Biden was elected.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also repeated that weird claim that fast-food workers had to sign non-compete agreements and couldn\u2019t get a job across town. That\u2019s already been debunked.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about the evening was Biden&#8217;s fact-checking in real-time by GOP Members when he attempted to claim that Republicans wanted Social Security cuts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarding energy, Biden didn\u2019t spend too much time on this \u2014 and perhaps for good reason. The GOP was able to hear the laughter in his comments when he lambasted oil companies&#8217; record profits.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that the oil firms were responsible for his death. \u201cinvested too little of that profit to increase domestic production and keep gas prices down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, they used those record profits to buy back their own stock, rewarding their CEOs and shareholders,\u201d He added. \u201cCorporations ought to do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, Biden said that executives told him point blank that they didn\u2019t invest due to his policies meant to abolish fossil fuels. He assured them that he was not going to invest in fossil fuels. \u201cWe\u2019re going to need oil for at least another decade.\u201d The line generated a huge response. Maybe because no company would be willing to invest within that time frame, but also because America is going to continue to use fossil fuels for many years.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden &#8220;We&#8217;re going to need oil and gas for a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats: &#8220;BOOOOOOOOO!&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WshoRo7kwH\">pic.twitter.com\/WshoRo7kwH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CalebJHull\/status\/1623149540877500417?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 8, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Border<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden called on Congress to work together at the border in an effective way. \u201cbipartisan fashion.\u201d As the author previously explained, this should be understood as amnesty of illegal aliens.<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed that the U.S. border patrol had seized 20,000 lbs of fentanyl in the past year. The Washington Post reports that the United States authorities only seize 5%-10%. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bidens-america-chinese-spy-balloons-in-the-sky-chinese-fentanyl-on-the-ground\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Number of drugs that were smuggled into the nation<\/a>. This should give an idea of how many drugs are flowing across the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>He also neglected to mention that his policies \u2014 chiefly catch and release \u2014 are fueling cartels in Mexico. Their job is to traffic in people. They just have to train their clients \u2014 poor individuals shelling out hundreds, if not thousands \u2014 on what to say once they get over the border. These illegal aliens then are allowed to enter the U.S. interior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foreign Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The president reiterated the same line of defense of democracy in Ukraine as he did for foreign policy. While perhaps a noble goal in theory, what he left out is that a year into the war, Ukraine isn\u2019t anywhere<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden\u00a0spent 70 minutes or so bloviating about the current state of affairs in America at the annual State of the Union address.
