Biden ‘turned a secured border into a disaster’ sheriffs complain after being snubbed

By Paul Bedard | Colorado Springs Gazette The nation’s sheriffs on Friday expressed anger that President Joe Biden did not recognize law enforcement in his State of the Union address, blasting the White House for turning a calm border into a calamity. While he gave his speech just two weeks after visiting the Texas border, where he met with agents, Biden failed to acknowledge their efforts to keep the nation safe despite broadening violence. The National Sheriffs’ Association, expressing frustration both at being ignored by Biden and by Biden’s dismantling of the Trump-era border protections officers played a critical part in enforcing, called on the president to take action today to stop the flow of illegal immigrants flooding in.

WATCH LIVE: State of the Union address and responses from Sen. Britt, Donald Trump

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice President Joe Biden is preparing to deliver his final State of the Union address of his first term to Congress. While the guest list for those sitting with First Lady Jill Biden during the speech gives some indiction toward the themes, it won’t be delivered until 7 p.m. Mountain Time – that’s 9 p.m. Eastern Time if you happen to be in Washington, D.C. The broadcast at WhiteHouse.gov will allow viewers to post emojis to give a reaction as the State of the Union happens, but don’t expect a chance to offer a negative reaction. The three emojis being offered are thumbs up, love and celebrate, although Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continues to claim the President is ready to handle any opposition to his positions on the economy and the c...

‘Just too old’ Joe Biden enters State of the Union with something to prove

What to Watch in Biden’s State of the Union Address By Emel Akan | Epoch Times President Joe Biden will deliver his third State of the Union address on March 7, using the opportunity to allay concerns about his age and persuade Americans that he can serve a second term as the country barrels toward a high-stakes election in November. Viewers will mostly be evaluating President Biden based on his performance, not just his message. Is he making mistakes? Will there be any verbal blunders? Is he appearing energetic and in control? How will he confront hecklers? His actions will be carefully monitored. Hence, it will be a crucial address for the 46th president as he works to restore public trust in his age and mental acuity. “It’s going to be an incredibly important ...

Clinton speaks with Biden more than Obama, aides say

By Annabella Rosciglione | Colorado Springs Gazette Despite spending eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president, Joe Biden is more regularly in contact with former President Bill Clinton than he is with Obama. In a Washington Post report, aides shared that while Biden does speak to Obama regularly, he is in closer contact with Clinton, as the two share a similar “outgoing” style. “Beneath the surface, [Biden and Obama’s relationship] has had very serious ups and downs over time, both personal and especially political,” Gabriel Debenedetti, author of The Long Alliance: The Imperfect Union of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, said in an interview with Time magazine.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE
