The differences between the parties couldn’t be more stark and Trump really put it all in high relief tonight. And yes it is a doomsday herd over there on the Left as they march right over the cliff of their own design.

Hopefully the Republicans will cut many ads from the speech, which cast the difference between Dems and their sullen expressions and refusal to stand at the most obvious moments, and the Republican side.

I’ve seen a Trump rally in person and many of his speeches. I agree that this was the best speech he has ever given.

100%... They have spent so much time being on the wrongs side of the issues and policies--they looked lost and wandering, with no idea how to get back. But--that won't stop their treachery. The forces that control them (that is: $$$) will be cracking the whip and they will be at it again, sabotaging this country, at every turn.

Italy is strong and knows the history of groups trying to make Italians extinct, they are a beacon of hope in a sick world right now.

I don’t normally like his speeches. I’ve avoided them for years.

This one was a masterwork. I was laughing so hard, which probably isn’t what you are supposed to do with politics, but it sure felt good.

We're not done yet!

He should have said" NOW you know why they don't want voter ID!" immediately after.

I felt it was the best speech I'd ever heard him make.

It was SUCH a relief to not have to look at Dems on the front row or sitting nearby. They got Al Green out quickly.

Al Green proving that Democratic Party politics is so easy that even a caveman can do it.

The left is so lost. We need to not stoop to their hellishly low level and rise above the vitriol. We can keep encouraging one another that working together, we can make this a better place for us all, even the insanely miserable.

Democrat sickness was on full display tonight.  The President said, "Stand up if you agree:  The first duty of the American government is to protect the American citizen not the illegal alien." and not one Democrat stood up.  Stone-faced, they sat on their hands.   Look for that moment to be replayed millions of times as this election year unfolds.  Do these people have no self-awareness at all?

They couldn't stand for the widow of Charlie Kirk.  They couldn't stand for the murdered West Virginia National Guardswoman.  They couldn't stand for Delilah Colden, a six-year-old girl who was crippled in a car crash precipitated by an illegal alien.  They couldn't stand for the mother of Iryna Zarutska, a beautiful Ukrainian girl who was brutally murdered by a violent felon with a dozen convictions who was always released in a few months.

They wouldn't applaud for the Trump Accounts which are giving every newborn a stake in American economic growth from the moment of birth!  Honestly, as a Democrat of FIFTY-FOUR years I have no idea of what these people are about.  Al Green gets himself thrown out again.  Ilhan Omar, who married her brother, and Rashica Tlaib, who wins "Best Moustache", began yelling at the President during his speech as he pointed out the Somali fraud in Minnesota.  Along with the goodwill overflow from this summer's July 4 celebrations -- remember what a boost they gave Gerald Ford fifty years ago -- I think the President can pull off an upset.

The final lines of Sax Rohmer's "The Insidious Fu Manchu" came to me as I watched the President deliver what I think was his most deft speech ever. "Out of the Fire I came, a fire which one day will become a consuming flame. In Fire I go. Seek not my ashes. I am Lord of the Fires."

He is the Master of political ju jitsu. He has maneuvered the Democrats into taking the side of illegal aliens, Iran's mullahs, Nicholas Maduro, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, tax increases, and defunding the police while they assert that men can have babies, boys belong in girls' sports and men should be permitted in women's private spaces, drug runners in speedboats are innocent fishermen. and setting fire to Tesla dealerships and keying Tesla's is free political speech.

I am in but what do we do? Many colonials were out fighting already before Washington even was named commander of Continental forces.

writing and podcast and voting seems like all we do right now..I had one idea, resurrect "Save the Whales" "Tree Hugger". The lefties dropped those two long ago,,they care nothing for the environment and honestly the Whale is one of the oldest living creatures on earth,,how can you allow them to be killed by the windmills the greenies build in our oceans? The sea is for all of us and its really earths posession.

Secondly, Trees make the earth period, they brought our atmosphere and have for millions of years..Lets plant trees every season and attach it to our philosophy of freedom.

A Democrat for 54 years. I have to ask why you still are. The madness of Democrats has been on display for over 10 years. What is it going to take to at least become Independent if not Republican?

That’s what I call epic trolling. The way DJT delivers a zinger then slightly backs away from the podium for effect. Trump was a pro tonight.

So Repubs would celebrate if Trump's masked goons shot every illegal they ran across? If one was drowning, would you stand by?

The EZ Rider's avatar

The answer to your question, NW, is no. The ones who are encouraging and celebrating shootings are Democrats. Your question reflects your mindset, not ours.

I always look forward to your analysis and commentary, Sasha! I missed the SOTU address and I thank you for the speed with which you published your perspective--clips included--for your readers.

Vance, Rubio, and Gabbard are all learning at his feet.

Tao Of Freedom's avatar

Good to see articulation of that trio ... those are the ones, Vance because he is there already at the fore, Rubio coming in fast as a future POTUS ... but the Ace, to be played at the optimal moment is Gabbard after she has exposed all the lies and deceits and coup conspiracies of the intelligence communities in her position as DNI ...

Trump keeps pulling the same trick, and Democrats fall for it each time. To be fair, it’s a brilliant trick. Trump takes a clear position on a hot issue. That position is some combination of patriotic, traditional, and common sense. It’s always on the side of the law, and always the majority view. Citizens over illegals, the law-abiding over criminals, there are only two sexes, honoring heroes and victims of crime, etc. Each time, Democrats are compelled to take the opposite side, because Trump is Hitler and you can never agree with Hitler. 60-80% of the voters look at this and see Democrats as out-of-touch, if not crazy.

And now we have Vance as the anti-fraud czar. Democrats will be forced to try to excuse or ignore billions of stolen tax dollars. I think that Ilhan Omar will be indicted before the midterms. It’ll be hard for Democrats to win when their party becomes associated with stealing money meant for the needy.

Tonya's avatar

But did the Dems steal money "meant for the needy"? Or was it never meant for the needy; they just approved funding bills that they SAID were meant for the needy, while the plan was to share it amongst the various grifters as long as they got a cut themselves.

Of many low-lights, Ihlan Omar cupping her hand next to her mouth and shouting, and Rashida Tlaib wearing a large F*** ICE button, stuck with me.

Democrats appear to think they will simply rig the election as usual. I don't think it will work out how they want.

Earl F. Clemons Jr's avatar

The enemies of President Trump are the enemies of the family, the Constitution, morality, and sanity. They are collectively the enemies of our nation's future, who actively seek to flood the nation with third-world illegals while disarming the native population. In a word, President Trump's enemies are barbarians within the gates, and they have gotten this far because they do a good job of weeping when retaliation looms. The agenda of the left exists solely because the people leftists are hell-bent on attacking are too busy living their lives to bother shooting them all.

My memory makes me think that almost no politicians used the term alien in the past but used illegal immigrant. And eventually the democrats changed the language to undocumented immigrant. They couldn't use illegal when describing a concept (in this case people actually) because if they did, it would sound like an oxymoron.... i.e. how can a politician support something illegal???... doesn't make sense when spoken. So they mainstreamed "undocumented " to sound more legit. They have been changing words ever since to make it sound like they support something different than what it actually is.

“How do you not stand?” Trump to Democrats

'These People Are Crazy!' - Trump remarked

The Democrats, with exception of Fetterman, did not allow themselves to stand or cheer or show support for anything Trump.
