Unfortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/07\/bidens-state-of-the-union-set-new-records-for-dishonesty-and-emptiness\/\">Once again, the president chose not to lead.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instead, he emphasized issues such as climate change, abortion, and the Junk Fee Protection Act over China. The president\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/08\/biden-oddly-calls-sen-chuck-schumer-minority-leader-at-state-of-the-union-speech\/\">apologists, like Sen. Chuck Schumer, <\/a>have claimed Biden\u2019s focus was on \u201cthe average working family and their concerns, their dreams, their hopes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This misses the point. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/07\/experts-demand-biden-get-tough-on-china-say-trump-got-policy-right\/\">There is no greater threat to American families than external threats<\/a> Rather than the actions taken by the Chinese Communist Party.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Consider the opioid crisis that has plagued our country for many years. While conveniently leaving out that his own administration\u2019s failures are to blame for our porous southern border, Biden did manage to acknowledge it must be better secured if we are to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/08\/gop-erupts-at-biden-after-remarks-on-fentanyl-crisis-during-state-of-the-union\/\">Stop the deadly flow of fentanyl <\/a>in our towns and cities.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to be clear: The opioid crisis doesn&#8217;t start in Mexico. It begins in China.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/pompeo-biden-326.jpg\"><button class=\"button
