Last year the #Biden Administration expanded benefits for #veterans, #caregivers & survivors. In 2022, @DeptVetAffairs processed an all-time record 1.7 million @VAVetBenefits claims & delivered $128 billion in earned benefits to 6.1 million veterans & survivors. #POTUS 
🧵 The State of the Union address sets the tone for the year on the sitting President’s agenda.
That said, as advocates for the whole health of children, what stuck out to us?

Note that generally the president does not actually pen the speech, rather it’s pulled together by speechwriters and advisors, then given to the president for edits and approval.
In other words, the speech is not just a case for support for the presidents agenda, it’s indicative… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

NEW: The Political Theater Behind the Bipartisan Data Privacy Push
Biden’s #sotu2023 call for better data protections got a bipartisan standing ovation. So, where’s a federal privacy law?

“A lot of the data we’re seeing already, teenagers, preteens—it has a very, very negative impact on their self-esteem, their self-concept, and their well-being,” @CoryBooker says, as the push for children’s online privacy protections ramps up in Washington bit.ly/40FjLQS
Headed back from Vegas, here are a few slides & findings from our #sotu2023 @NavigatorSurvey report. 1) Respondents did not like GOP interruptions, & GOP behaved even more inappropriately than respondents' expected (52% pre/59% post) CC @amyewalter & @KattyKay_
2) The President made a lot of movement--overall & on specific traits. Note the pre/post change on "up for the job" and "trying to bring people together."
3) Confidence in Biden's ability to tackle a range of issues improved, particularly SS/Medicare.
I'm going to try to get a good month to finish my book Nationalists Without A Nation done and out before 2024. I also owe Greg Johnson a response for his critique of me here - counter-currents.com/2022/12/agains…, which I encourage you to read. But below are my key premises. I ask for input.
There's a systemic failure in democracy seen from classical times, cited by de Toqueville and in a more fundamental way by Evola. He called it the Regression of the Castes. We'd say it's the Weaponization of Misery. The Left wins because it fails and thus creates more of itself.
Even in a mental health system we could argue is created by and for leftists, leftists have more mental health disorders. They report higher rates of unhappiness. Yet they steamroll conservatives who have families, better sex lives, more stable marriages, more kids, etc.
Bob Ney: I think the longest State of the Union speech was Reagan's at 1 hr 50 min.

Was any other major issue given as little time as abortion and the overturning of #RoeVWade in #Biden’s #sotu2023?
Fucking outrageous.
If you thought “Where’s the sense of urgency?!” now you know.
It doesn’t exist.

If you thought “Where’s the sense of urgency?!” now you know.

It’s as if nothing happened just a few months ago.
It’s bad enough that Republicans won the House just 5 months after the Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade and now the president gives it what—3 or 4 sentences?!
Wow

No note on the coordinated effort to generate inflation and a recession.

He's saying to allies, look, I got these idiots from the GOP House Freedom Caucus under control, although debatable.
Domestically, he's giving GOP House more credit than deserved.

I’ll be listing each one of Joe Biden’s lies during his scripted #SOTU “speech” here. #SOTU2023 @JennPellegrino @realDonaldTrump
Joe Biden Lie #1: “My administration created 12 million new jobs in 2 years”. Truth: Those jobs weren’t created, they were allowed to reopen despite Democrats shutting down businesses.
Joe Biden Lie #2: “Factories closed down and towns became shadows of their former selves”. Truth: Joe Biden supported sending our jobs overseas and trade deals that harmed America. @realDonaldTrump did more for the working class in 4 years than Biden has done in 45 years.
HUGE: Mark Houck, a Catholic pro-life dad prosecuted by the Biden DOJ for apparently defending his son in a scuffle outside an abortion clinic, will attend #sotu2023 as the guest of @RepScottPerry, @MaryMargOlohan reports. dailysignal.com/2023/02/07/pro…
“Biden... weaponized the power of the federal government against anyone who thwarts his radical, Leftist agenda,” Perry said. “He should see the faces of some of those Americans who have been relentlessly... persecuted by the same government sworn to protect their freedoms.”
“Mark Houck & family are innocent victims of the radical Left’s reprehensible abuse of power, which...seeks to destroy the lives of hard-working Americans whose only ‘crimes’ are using their God-given constitutional rights to protect their families, faith, and way of life."
