Ahead of Pres Biden’s address to a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite/most memorable moments from Pres. Trump’s State of the Union / Joint Session addresses. Please share yours as well. Here’s a deeply moving one:

One of the greatest privileges of the annual SOTU was getting to meet the extraordinary American heroes whose stories President Trump shared with the nation.

This exchange is a great example of President Trump’s warmth, graciousness and magnanimity:

GWB’s oped is noteworthy for several reasons. First, is that it contains no original thought—it recycles the most vapid, overused immigration cliches long ago dredged of all meaning (e.g. “undocumented immigrants should be brought out of the shadows”)(1/5)
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

Second, is the detached economic privilege of its author—there is a massive surplus of labor right now due to shutdowns/lockdowns/layoffs, yet W is recommending a huge, permanent increase in the already vast # of green cards & work visas awarded to giant corporations. (2/5)

Third, is the obliviousness & recklessness of proposing an open-ended amnesty for illegally smuggled as minors at a time in which we have the largest minor smuggling crisis in U.S. history. The worst signal you could send right now is that today’s UACs are tomorrow’s USCs. (3/5)

“Precipitous” is not the word I would use to describe winding down America’s longest war. I only hope that President Biden stays true to the historic roadmap for peace forged by President Trump.

During my time at WH we consistently heard from the Pentagon that we have to “fight them [terrorists] over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.” But how did they get here? As 9/11 Commission documented, the hijackers exploited our immigration system to obtain visas.

That’s why 45 created the National Vetting Center; issued visa bans on any country that failed to meet our security standards (the mere threat of the ban brought other nations into compliance); fundamentally reformed refugee admissions; launched social media vetting, etc., etc.

Timely thread. The far-left’s primary political weapon is extortion: the threat that if you don’t conform you’ll be demonized, defamed, vilely smeared, even expunged. They wrap mafia-like tactics in moralistic language(social justice, equity) to pretend it isn’t a shakedown(1/10)

The mafia also used code language. But instead of protection payments it’s CEOs signing letters bashing GA, reporters adopting “progressive” lexicon, institutional surrender to Critical Race Theory, big biz financing BLM, entire subjects (eg biological sex) now off-limits (2/10)

The Left has created a censorious, paralyzing climate of fear that keeps good & decent citizens from honestly expressing themselves—afraid of being ostracized & exiled. People consciously adjust their behavior to avoid reputational slander & professional blacklisting (3/10).

@MLB

A personal thread on the @MLB controversy: I’ve been a baseball fan my entire life. Almost every penny of allowance as a kid went to cards (all saved). Growing up in LA, my baseball hero was Eric Karros & my most my prized possession was a signed baseball from Tommy Lasorda (1/8)

The best birthday present I ever got my father was a Topps 1956 Sandy Koufax card. My favorite way to spend a summer afternoon in DC is a nationals game. And I strongly oppose the DH. In short, like so many Americans, baseball is woven deeply into the fabric of my life. (2/8)

Few sights in the world are more beautiful than our flag waving over the diamond as the anthem plays. Baseball is the American Sport. The optimism you feel every time your batter swaggers up the plate w/runners on base—no clock, no timer—is the essence of the American spirit(3/8)

@washingtonpost

.@washingtonpost just published the stratospheric new border numbers. They’re even more disastrous than feared. March is only Biden’s 2nd full month in office and yet he has already created a border crisis of catastrophic & unprecedented proportions. (1/5) washingtonpost.com/national/march…

171K apprehensions in March is over a 400% increase from March last year. UAC #’s are 1.6X the highest levels ever recorded. Because Trump’s detain-and-remove was replaced w/Biden’s catch-and-release, all non-Mexican UACs + 80-90% of illegal adults w/minors were released. (2/5)

Total #’s highest in 15 yrs, but this vastly understates the depths of crisis. In 2006, illegal crossers were single adults from Mexico promptly returned by BP—not massive groups w/minors packed together & then released en masse during a pandemic. (3/5)
