Biden’s SOTU Address: Hated by the Media, Elon Musk, Catholics, Democrats, and Many, Many More

/in , , , , , /by

Well, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. stood in the U.S. House of Representatives chamber and gave his 2022 State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress and to the American people.

Working class Americans see that the State of the Union under Biden, his administration and the Democrat controlled Congress, as a total disaster.

NOTE: We here were hoping that Nancy Pelosi, with great flare, would tear up Biden’s SOTU speech but we were disappointed when she didn’t. Instead she just puckered up and went with the flow of myths, propaganda and lies by Biden.

Of course many tuned in and after his address many commented on what was said. This is an overview of comments by those who listened and commented on what Biden said.

Here is a view of those members of Congress listening to Biden:

Perhaps the most telling comments came from the Associated Press’ fact checker Christopher Rugaber who wrote:

President Joe Biden related a faulty Democratic talking point about guns in his first State of the Union speech, made his plan on electric vehicles sound more advanced than it is and inflated the sweep of his infrastructure package. On several fronts, he presented ambitions as achievements. [Emphasis added]

So, the Associated Press basically said, in nice words, that Biden lied to the American people.

Let’s look at each of these issues: guns, electric vehicles, infrastructure and Biden’s achievements.

Guns

Rugaber said this about Biden’s false gun claim:

BIDEN, asking Congress to pass measures he said would reduce gun violence: “Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued, the only one.”

THE FACTS: That’s false. While gun manufacturers do have legal protections from being held liable for injuries caused by criminal misuse of their weapons thanks to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, they are not exempt or immune from being sued. [Emphasis added]

But it gets worse

During his speech Biden highlighted Ford and its manufacturing of all electric vehicles in the United States. While the Biden White House has frequently lauded the efforts of Ford and GM, Tesla — the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer — has often been omitted and ignored for its achievements in pioneering all electric vehicles.

Tesla’s Elon Musk took Biden to task about the production of all electric vehicles on Twitter. Elon tweeted,

“Ford is investing $11B to build electric vehicles — creating 11,000 jobs across the country,” read a post from Biden’s Twitter account as the State of the Union speech concluded. “GM is making the largest investment in its history — $7B to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.”

“Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined,” the billionaire entrepreneur responded as an “fyi to person controlling this twitter.”

Infrastructure Lies and Myths

AP fact checker Rugaber responded to Biden’s false claims about his Build Back Better infrastructure bill stating:

BIDEN, promoting his $1 trillion infrastructure law: “We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks. We’re now talking about an infrastructure decade. … We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.”

THE FACTS: Not so fast.

The bipartisan legislation approved by Congress ended up providing just half of the $15 billion that Biden had envisioned to fulfill a campaign promise of 500,000 charging stations by 2030.

Biden’s Build Back Better proposal aimed to fill the gap by adding back billions to pay for charging stations. But Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in December declared that bill dead in its present form due to cost.

Administration officials now say the infrastructure law will help “pave” the way for up to 500,000 charging outlets by 2030. That’s different than charging stations, which could have several outlets. They say private investments could help fill the gap. Currently there are over 100,000 EV outlets in the U.S.

The Transportation Department’s plan asks states to build a nationwide network of EV charging stations that would place new or upgraded ones every 50 miles along interstate highways. The $5 billion in federal money over five years relies on cooperation from sprawling rural communities in the U.S., which are less likely to own EVs due to their typically higher price.

States are expected to start construction as early as fall. [Emphasis added]

Biden Dissed by Catholics

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is only the second Catholic president. The first being John F. Kennedy.

So how did Catholics like Biden’s State of the Union speech?

The Catholic Vote wrote this about Biden’s SOTU address:

JOE BIDEN AND ABORTION

The Biden administration has moved more aggressively than any previous presidential administration to promote abortion and to undo federal pro-life policies. On the issue of life, President Biden immediately reinstated pro-abortion policies such as taxpayer funding of abortions both nationally and internationally. The Democrat-controlled Congress then exploited the pandemic as a pretext to dump trillions in taxpayer dollars into left-wing legislation. Of those funds, they allocated billions to the abortion industry, which had absolutely no hand in the fight against the virus.

JOE BIDEN AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM/CONSCIENCE RIGHTS

After making tremendous gains in the previous administration, religious liberty and conscience rights have suffered under the Biden regime.

Within weeks of being sworn into office, Biden revoked Executive Order 13831, which established a White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative. He thereby replaced the preservation of religious freedom as guaranteed by the Constitution with the woke language of “partnership” between the government and religious entities. Who is eligible for such a “partnership”? Only those who do not hold Christian beliefs that the LGBT agenda rejects.

[ … ]

JOE BIDEN AND COVID-19

As a candidate, Joe Biden promised to “shut down” the virus. However, more Americans died from COVID-19 in 2021 than in 2020. Instead of allowing the marketplace to distribute at-home COVID-19 tests, President Biden turned to the United States Postal Service. When faced with a shortage, a clueless Biden suggested to Americans: “Just Google” where to get one.

Meanwhile, Biden tried to mandate COVID vaccines for millions of Americans, further fracturing an already fragile economy. Even after the Supreme Court blocked his mandate on private businesses, the Biden administration continues its efforts to fire unvaccinated healthcare workers.

[ … ]

JOE BIDEN AND SCHOOLS

No demographic has suffered more during the pandemic than American kids. Biden vowed to re-open schools upon his election, but has instead worked behind the scenes with teachers’ unions to put the interests of bureaucrats and lobbyists above the needs of students.

If you were a parent who publicly complained about your school being closed, the Biden administration’s Department of Justice worked with the National School Board Association to label you as a “domestic terrorist.” The Biden administration is so busy teaching our kids the theory that everyone is a racist and that men should be able to dominate women in sports that they have no time to be concerned about some nosy parents.

[ … ]

JOE BIDEN AND THE ECONOMY

Inflation is taxation, and it has gone up every month of Biden’s presidency. Inflation in January increased 7.5% year-over-year, the fastest pace in 40 years and the eighth straight month in which inflation rates exceeded 5%.

Now, Americans are paying more for everything. Last year, Biden’s economic crisis cost the average worker nearly two paychecks, while real wages decreased 8 out of 11 months since his first full month in office. The severity of this inflation was directly fueled by the reckless, far-Left spending spree that every single Democrat voted to ram through at President Biden’s behest. Families are living with the consequences every day.

JOE BIDEN AND THE BORDER CRISIS

In 2012, Cardinal Timothy Dolan sent a letter to the House of Representatives on the ever-present issue that Congress ignores – immigration. He wrote: “Of particular concern to us and our brother bishops is the impact our broken system is having on immigrant families… Children are often the innocent victims of these policies.”

President Biden’s actions over the course of his presidency confirm that the more liberal an administration’s border policies are, the more chaos and harm they create.

As always, children suffer most from this failure.

[ … ]

THE DEMOCRATS AND CRIME

Following two years of defunding the police language from President Biden and Congressional Democrats, at least 16 cities have set new homicide records in 2021, according to local police departments. In 2021, 346 officers were shot, 63 of whom died. Also that same year, there were 103 ambush-style attacks on law enforcement officers, a 115% increase from 2020.

This did not happen in a vacuum.

Read the full Catholic rebuttal of Biden’s SOTU speech here.

The Democrat Rebuttal

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) delivered the “progressive response” to President Biden‘s State of the Union address. Tlaib is a member of the Squad and a Muslim. Talib called for more government control over “health care, climate, housing, child care, safety, voting rights, clean water and so much more.” She fiercely attacked her fellow Democrats — particularly party members who have blocked Biden’s sweeping climate and social spending proposals, formerly known as the “Build Back Better” plan — to act with greater urgency while they hold the majority in the House and Senate.

This is called eating your own.

Watch Tlaib’s rebuttal:

The Republican Rebuttal

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds delivers GOP response to Biden’s State of the Union address. Gov. Kim Reynolds, R-Iowa hit the following points:

  1. “Weakness on the world stage has a cost and the president’s approach to foreign policy has consistently been too little too late.”
  2. Accused Biden of bringing the nation back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, a time when “runaway inflation was hammering families, a violent crime wave was crashing on our cities, and the Soviet army was trying to redraw the world map.”
  3. Promised, “My House Republican colleagues and I will fight against his failed, leftist agenda, and will work to lower inflation, cut energy costs for American families, fight crime, and restore common sense and freedom in our country.”

SOTU 2022 – Tweets We Liked

The Bottom Line

Well, there you have it. Many hated Biden’s SOTU speech for different reasons. The media pointed out the untruths and myths, Democrats hate their fellow Democrats who voted against Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, Elon Musk took Biden to task for ignoring Tesla and what it has done to launch the all electric vehicle effort, and Republicans are looking forward to the 2022 midterm elections with bated breath and hopes are high that Republicans can taking back one or both Houses of Congress in November.

Gird your loins, there’s more to come. Stay tuned.

    Excellent assessment of the total failure of the Obama 3/Beijing Joe Biden regime in its first year.

    Don’t forget the explosion of WOKENESS in our top level military surrogates (not leaders) like SOD Austin and Chair Joint Cheifs Staff Milley and their attempts to remove constitutional conservatives(aka Trump supporters) from the military..
