Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 2, 2022
The State of the Union last night was a disconnect from the reality of Biden failures. The Wall Street Journal is correct. He missed the moment. The paper went further to describe what Biden did not say: More defense spending to meet the threats from autocrats? No. A new appreciation of the contribution of fossil fuels to American and European security? Not a word. A note that government spending contributed to the highest inflation rate in 40 years? Nope. I personally was disappointed that there was no mention of leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan, 13 patriots murdered in Kabul. And now Afghanistan is a safe haven for terrorists who can come across the open border to attack American families. An anxious world is looking for American leadership in a dangerous new era. I hope the President will change course for peace through strength. In conclusion, God bless Ukraine. God save Ukraine. Long live President Volodymyr Zelensky. ____________________
