What Americans Deserved To Hear In Tuesday Night’s State Of The Union Address.

When President Biden was campaigning to become our next President he used a catchy line. That line went something like this: I am not running to be the President of the red states, or the President of the blue states. I am running to be the President of the United States! What a great line. It always received rousing applause from the dozen or two people who went to hear him speak. Immediately upon being elected his actions suggested he was a member of the Blue Man Group, as he gave the finger to those in red states. His policies couldn’t be farther Left had Socialist Bernie Sanders presented them.

If Biden was sincere about representing every American, I think his State of the Union (SOTU) address would have sounded something like this. My fellow Americans. I humbly stand before you this evening after having just completed my first year as your President. One might think that spending 50 years in D.C. would be enough to prepare a person to be President. Believe me, nothing can prepare you for this job. Therefore, my first SOTU will include successes and errors that I intend to remedy.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of my administration, a heroic effort by the healthcare industry, record breaking production of vaccines by pharmaceutical companies, and the patience of the American people, I am pleased to announce that the COVID pandemic is finally beginning to abate. Because of that we are allowing more businesses to reopen. As businesses re-opened, the need for staffing created a record number of jobs. As people return to the workforce, companies will produce more products. More products will help reduce prices. We must now accelerate that process. I am announcing tonight that we will be enforcing the 1996 Welfare Reform Act, signed by President Clinton, that encouraged able-bodied people to either find work, or begin training that will lead to their gainful employment. This will help ease the pain of rising prices felt by every American.

Inflation is a silent thief. Every American is feeling the squeeze of higher gasoline prices, groceries, and other household needs. It is the poor, and those on fixed income, who inflation hurts the most. Getting people back to work will begin to mitigate this problem. That alone will not solve the problem of rapidly rising prices. For a more significant near term remedy we must readdress our energy policy. The availability of inexpensive energy is at the core of every country’s economy. God blessed the USA with an abundance of energy resources. It is up to us to properly utilize those resources. We were premature in our decision to reduce fossil fuel production by at least 20%. That decision, combined with a growing economy, created a serious shortage of gas and oil. Starting tomorrow I will request that our energy providers return to producing fossil fuels in the quantities necessary to fulfill our daily needs. That will have a meaningful impact in reducing the price of oil. Gasoline, and nearly every other product on store shelves, will cost Americans less to purchase. I will not support the future reduction of fossil fuel use in the USA until/unless we are certain we have replaced it with alternative sources.

Law enforcement agencies on our southern border will be reinforced, and ordered to seal the southern border to illegal crossings. I will appoint the immigration judges necessary to eliminate the backlog of cases. Last year over 100,000 Americans died of opioid overdoses. I can no longer watch Americans die from overdoses of drugs that are being smuggled across our border. Documented cases of sex trafficking are heart-wrenching when you realize the ages of those being trafficked. No child, anywhere in the world, should be part of such horrible treatment. I will do everything I can to stop it in the USA.

There are reasons we have both boys and girls athletic teams, and boys and girls locker rooms in our schools. Participation and competition, are essential in the growth, socialization, and maturation, of young people. When boys are allowed to participate on girls athletic teams, some girls lose the opportunity to participate and compete. Girls also lose the privacy of that “safe space” they deserve when boys are allowed into locker room facilities designated for girls, and vice versa. It is important to provide an equal playing field for both boys and girls. We must protect their safety and their privacy. Starting tomorrow, biological boys and biological girls will be required to compete on the athletic teams, and use the locker room facilities, that coincide with the sex they were assigned at birth.

Tomorrow, I will assign my Department of Justice the task of researching ways that will allow us to begin taking back violent streets in many of our larger cities. It is unconscionable that American citizens are unsafe walking, shopping, and riding mass transit, in their own cities. It will be difficult to get workers to return to cities if they don’t feel safe. We will not see tourism return in any significant way when thugs roam our streets. Nobody wants to go shopping with the specter of smash and grab gangs on the back of their minds. We have created a revolving door that allows criminals who get arrested one day, and released the next. There is a lawlessness that pervades our cities like we have never before witnessed. This is unfair to people living in, and paying taxes to, governments. Every method that might fix these problems will be investigated. Nothing is off the table.

The title of this blog is: What Americans deserve to hear. . . . In that I am not delusional, I don’t expect any of the suggestions above will be discussed, let alone acted upon. The majority of Americans are in favor of our government acting on the above. Some of them overwhelmingly so. That our President, and Congress, refuse to discuss them puts a cloud over the term “representative government.” If you agree with any of the above you must contact your congressional representatives and tell them. Those who are in favor of boys competing on girls teams, leniency for criminals, etc., are constantly contacting their reps. It is our responsibility to do the same.
