After reading the transcript of Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address, I am overcome by a strong sense of irony.  The sense of irony is triggered by the fact that the Biden regime declared that those who spread lies and mistruths are domestic terrorists.  Lies and mistruths made up the majority of his speech.

All quotes for this article are from here: Full Text: President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address (breitbart.com).  It is the transcript of the actual speech Biden was suppose to give.  It is free of vocal mumbles, stumbles, and bizarre ad libs.

With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.  And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.

This first quote pings the irony meter.  Since Biden was installed in the White House a year ago, he has trampled on the Constitution and proved to be a true tyrant.

Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.

Putin, the Russian oligarchs, and corrupt leaders have received the bulk of their funding from all of the Biden energy policies, which are the polar opposite of Trump’s energy policies.

To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.  And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.

The sanctions Biden imposed have not caused Putin any meaningful pain, and they will not.

The pandemic has been punishing.  And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.  I understand.

The pandemic had nothing to do with the skyrocketing cost of food, gas, housing, and everything.  The run away inflation was caused by Biden’s disastrous economic policies.

And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind

Of course Biden repeats the all too common lie that the Trump tax cuts only benefited the wealthy.

In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one year than ever before in the history of America.  Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.  For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.  But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.

That last paragraph is laughable in the extreme.  There is no evidence at all backing those frivolous claims.

America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth. Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.  We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.  That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.

Biden’s infrastructure plan was nothing more than a socialist wet dream.  It would have destroyed the American economy and would not have rebuilt anything.

Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.  I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.  Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.  The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.  When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.

The economy has not roared back, and Biden’s policies. not the pandemic, has disrupted everything.

First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.

Oh the irony !!! The cost of insulin skyrocketed because Biden canceled Trump’s executive order that specifically slashed the price of insulin

Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.  Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.

Climate change is nothing but a fairy tail, a complete farce, to convince the gullable to give up their rights and money.

And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.  The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.  I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.

What a crock.  Under Biden’s tax plan those earning way under $400,000 a year will pay more, and the wealthiest pay more than their fair share.

We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.

Biden has no business involving the US in a scheme like this.  It is unconstitutional.

By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office. The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.

All I can do with this statement is laugh uncontrollably.

Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can say we are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.  We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July. Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.

It is laughable that Biden is taking credit for the decline in COVID cases.  That happened because we’ve reached herd immunity.

First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.

The COVID vaccines have been a complete disaster.

And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.  We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.

The COVID vaccines and mandates did nothing to reduce the case numbers.  It was  a virus doing what viruses normally do.

I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon? Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.  Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.  These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.

All of these measures would most assuredly violate the Second Amendment and would only lead to more mass shootings and more crime.  Biden was of course lying about the liability shield for gun manufacturers.

In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.  We cannot let this happen.  Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.

Lies, lies, and more lies.  That last paragraph is nothing but lies.

And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.

Oh the absolute irony.

Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.  The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.  If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to  advance maternal health care in America.

Abortion is murder.  No one has a right to commit murder.  Liberty is striped away from the murdered unborn child.  Abortion has absolutely nothing to do with health care.

I am far from alone when it comes to writing about all lies and mistruths spoken by Biden during his State of the Union address.  Check out these four articles.
