There were rumors that President Trump’s first State of the Union address was going to run two hours and anyone would be forgiven for dreading it, but it turns out it was a politically confrontational spectacle that this country needed and deserved.

Democrats REFUSED to stand when Trump called for JUSTICE for Iryna Zarutska after she was needlessly m*rdered by a career criminal in North Carolina.

The cute suggestion that every president should use every State of the Union address for generic, saccharine appeals to unity for the sake of it is a Washington establishment preference intended to conceal all of the problems caused by that same Washington establishment (by which I mean the news media, the permanent bureaucracy and all the “think tanks” and nonprofits that financially benefit from low-information voters).
If the Covid-lockdown era taught this country anything at all, it’s that there are exceedingly few reasons for a president to waste time on “unity.” Unity implies equality and a sense of partnership. Democrats believe in one thing: Their power and their way.
That’s why back in 2020 Democrat leaders told everyone else to lock themselves inside away from their friends and loved ones while they themselves snuck out to restaurants, salons, gyms, and parties. We simply do not believe in the same things, and that fact is put on the most prominent display possible with the State of the Union speech, when every broadcast network and every cable news channel carries that one event.
That audience is smaller and smaller anyway, but while it’s there, it’s best that the time is used to show just how alien, unattractive, and anti-American the Democrat Party is.
