The State of the Union speech drew a packed House and nationwide TV audience. It is all very orchestrated. The State of the Union address is an annual ritual in which the President of the United States asks Congress for their help to solve the country's problems and then Congress says no.

President Trump delivered a lengthy State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday in the U.S. Capitol. The president opened his remarks by announcing that the State of the Union is strong. It's always wise to start your speech with a good joke to help get the crowd on your side.

President Trump in his State of the Union detailed his foreign policy challenges as well as his successes. He's on a hot streak lately. Trump just overthrew Venezuela without losing a single life, he killed Mexico's Cartel leader and Canada is now our largest state and it only cost us a couple of teeth.

Democrats went on the Sunday talk shows to gripe about FBI Director Kash Patel being in the USA Men's Hockey locker room after the win. That's odd. If Patel had been wearing a bikini with a penis pouch and a wig Democrats would have demanded his right to be in the men's locker room.

President Trump phoned the USA Men's Hockey team in the locker room and invited them to the State of the Union. Trump met goalie Connor Hellebuyck who in the finale blocked 41 of 42 shots. At the rate people are trying to kill Trump, he should hire Hellebuyck as his shot-blocking coach.

Prince Andrew was arrested by London Police on charges of misconduct in public office last week. During his night in jail, Prince Andrew had to wait his turn behind seven other guys to use the restroom, so imagine his despair. He can't even go to jail without still being 8th in line for the throne.

Austin Tucker Martin Monday was killed trying to breach Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gallon-can of gas. Everything is political. Trump reminded voters that his would-be assassin paid $2 less for that gallon of gas than he would've paid 13 months ago if he'd been Biden's would-be assassin.

The U.S. government remained locked in government shutdown over the issue of reforming ICE and ending mass deportations. It's a local issue to everyone. Polls shows people in Los Angeles are against the mass deportation of illegal aliens until you tell us it could take 20 minutes off our commute.

New York City was paralyzed by three feet of snow that buried the city on Sunday, springing Zohran Mamdani into action. The South Asian Socialist mayor closed down all schools, offered $30-an-hour city jobs shoveling snow, and grounded all flights that were scheduled to fly into buildings.

NYC Mayor Mamdani ran into media scrutiny with his reaction to the blizzard Monday. Not only did he demand a photo ID to get a city job shoveling snow, he only offered $19 an hour, $11 an hour less that his own $30 poverty level. I'm surprised Chuck Schumer didn't refer to it as Jim Snow 2.0.

Mexican cartel kingpin El Mencho was killed in a hail of bullets by Mexican troops Sunday in Jalisco. The Federales found him by following his girlfriend to his hideout. It's a lesson to men everywhere that this is what happens if you don't take your girlfriend out to dinner on Valentine's Day.

Congresswoman AOC posted a video Monday trying to explain her hapless performance at the Munich Conference in which she fumbled the Taiwan issue and ripped Trump for Latin American imperialism. That's rich. If it weren't for U.S. Latin American imperialism, she wouldn't be an American.

Gavin Newsom took his book tour to Atlanta where he told a crowd he's just a medium IQ guy like you with a 960 SAT, who can't read due to dyslexia. Newsom was furious at the reaction, calling him a moron, insisting that he is NOT a Moron, adding that in fact he's never even been to Utah.
