REAGAN: The state of our union is sorry – Troy Record

Posted: February 26, 2022 at 11:04 am

My son Cameron and I can hardly wait for President Bidens upcoming State of the Union address.

What do you think hes going to say on March 1, Dad? he asked me earlier this week during our phone call.

That the State of the Union is . very sad? Screwed? You finish the sentence.

Seriously, Cameron said. The State of the Union is supposed to be upbeat positive or at least hopeful, right?

Yeah, I said. His speechwriters must be working overtime. The list of big things hes messed up in a single year is long and getting longer.

So whats he going to brag about to the country? Cameron asked.

Well, I said, he did a terrible job with Afghanistan, so he cant bring that up.

The economy is also a no-no.

Inflation is running at 7 percent, interest rates are headed up and millions of workers have still not gone back to work, thanks to the governments generous and never-ending pandemic help.

He sure cant mention crime, Cameron said.

Its spiking in every big city and his justice department is more interested in eliminating cash bail than catching criminals and putting them in jail.

And forget the war on COVID, I said.

Its been a disaster.

Bidens still wearing a mask 24/7, but even blue state governors have finally had enough of the mandates and are getting rid of them.

He cant bring up energy, either, Cameron said. Gas prices are high everywhere. Were paying five bucks a gallon.

Yeah, I said. Remember way, way back in time 2020, I think it was, before Biden took over and started wrecking our fossil fuel industry? I could fill up my truck without taking out an equity loan.

We were energy independent then and the worlds number one producer of oil and natural gas, Cameron said.

Then Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, gave Russia the OK for its Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline to Germany and told us that to save the planet we all have to start driving $60,000 electric cars.

Biden wont be bragging on how hes winning the war on drugs, either.

Nope, I said. Hes done nothing about the drug overdose epidemic thats killing a hundred thousand people a year.

And the AMA says its only getting worse thanks mainly to all the illegal fentanyl that comes across our Southern border and is made in China.

Speaking of borders, Cameron said, whats this big deal about Ukraines?

Bidens sending troops and missiles to Europe to show Putin how tough he is. Hes helping Ukraine defend its borders, but he wont help Texas?

Yep, I said, hes working overtime trying to stop the invasion of Ukraine. But since the day he took office weve had a huge invasion on our southern border and its his fault.

I was just looking at an article on the Border Report web site, Cameron said. The headline was Migrant encounters top 2 million in calendar year 2021, on pace for repeat in 2022.

I dont think hell be talking to the country about the state of his immigration policy, I said.

If Putin doesnt send his troops across the Ukrainian border, Cameron said, maybe Biden will be able to brag that he used his great foreign policy expertise and the threat of sanctions to stop the Russians from invading Ukraine.

By the way, Dad, whats the latest on the war in Ukraine? Are we losing it yet?

After this discussion, Cameron, I think its safe to say that the Biden administration is not winning any wars anywhere.

Not the war on inflation. Not the war on illegal immigration. Not the war on drugs.

Given the sorry state of our Union under Biden, I dont expect the war in Ukraine if it comes to be any different.
