Predicting The SOTU

[Flanders]

Paid pundits in the famed Talking Heads Regiment are beside themselves predicting the content of tonight’s State of the Union address. The coverage is worse than predicting how the SCOTUS will decide a case.

Without bragging, I can predict how the Nifty Nine will rule on certain types of cases. My High Court crystal ball is programmed for 100 percent accuracy:

The SOTU is a new field for me; so I had to purchase a crystal ball programmed especially for “ . . . the nauseating spectacle that is the State of the Union address.”

The annual State of the Union pageant is a hideous, dispiriting, ugly, monotonous, un-American, un-republican, anti-democratic, dreary, backward, monarchical, retch-inducing, depressing, shameful, crypto-imperial display of official self-aggrandizement and piteous toadying, a black Mass during which every unholy order of teacup totalitarian and cringing courtier gathers under the towering dome of a faux-Roman temple to listen to a speech with no content given by a man with no content, to rise and to be seated as is called for by the order of worship — it is a wonder they have not started genuflecting — with one wretched representative of their number squirreled away in some well-upholstered Washington hidey-hole in order to preserve the illusion that those gathered constitute a special class of humanity without whom we could not live.

It’s the most nauseating display in American public life — and I write that as someone who has just returned from a pornographers’ convention.

It’s worse than the Oscars.

On the nauseating spectacle that is the State of the Union address
By Kevin D. Williamson

Great Caesar?s Ghost | National Review Online​

Much to my surprise my crystal ball supplier said they don’t make balls for the SOTU; so I had to settle for a magic marble. I offer no guarantees on my first prediction.

After gazing into my magic marble for three seconds, I saw Barack Taqiyya reaffirming his spiritual leader pretensions. I admit that it’s not much of a prediction since he sure as hell has nothing else to say.

 

[Geaux4it]

Some of the speech has already been released. So, speculation is not key. What will be clear is this will be a SOTU by a dictator who will spell out his intent to continue to rule instead of govern from the Imperial Whitehouse. As I have stated here many, many times, Obama has no inclination to govern as that has been made painfully obvious.

Our dear ruler.. needs to face justice

Predicting stuff like this is pretty easy.

The Democrats will love it. Some (see "Chris Matthews") will say it's "one of the best ever." The Republicans won't like it so much. Great joy at MSNBC, sober analysis at Fox. Matthews may actually pee himself.

The Democrats will clap wildly, barely able to contain themselves, at absolutely every opportunity. Decibel levels from their side of the chamber will rival those of your average ZZ Top concert, and some may actually be seen doing the "pogo" as they cheer. The Republicans will look like goofy stone gargoyles when they're just standing there and the other "side" is hysterical in its applause.

Both sides will spin every word into supporting their arguments, whether it's true or not.

Like clockwork, every SOTU. Both sides play the same silly, transparent game. Which is why I can't watch. It's an insult.

this will be a SOTU by a dictator who will spell out his intent to continue to rule instead of govern from the Imperial Whitehouse.

To Geaux4it: You’re right, and that’s the tragedy. This is from the article I linked in the OP:

The State of the Union has not always been a grotesque spectacle. George Washington delivered his briefing in person, but he was dealing with a self-respecting Congress that understood itself to be his equal in government.

XXXXX​

Thomas Jefferson, ever watchful against monarchical pretensions in the federal apparatus, discontinued the practice of delivering the State of the Union in person before Congress, instead submitting a written report. For a blessed century, Jefferson’s example was followed, and, despite civil war and the occasional financial panic, the nation thrived without an ersatz Caesar to rule over it.

It will come as no surprise that the imperial model was reinstated by Woodrow Wilson, Princeton’s answer to Benito Mussolini and the most dangerous man ever elected to the American presidency, a would-be dictator who attempted to criminalize the act of criticizing the state, dismissed the very idea of individual rights as “a lot of nonsense,” and described his vision of the presidency as effectively unlimited (“The President is at liberty, both in law and conscience, to be as big a man as he can”). A big man needs a big show, and it is to Wilson’s totalitarian tastes that we owe the modern pageant.

XXXXX​

George Washington showed the world that men do not need a king. We, his heirs, have allowed the coronation of something much worse.

It’s gotten a lot worse since LBJ did the first televised SOTU.

Like clockwork, every SOTU. Both sides play the same silly, transparent game.

To Mac1958: Absolutely.

Which is why I can't watch.

To Mac1958: I doubt if anybody outside the parasite class watches. I’ve never watched one; not even RR and I liked him. In fact, I can’t stand looking at Barack Taqiyya lying in the endless clips his media stooges run every 5 seconds. There’s not a chance I’m going watch him lie for an hour.

It's an insult.

To Mac1958: Only if you watch. On the plus side every year the SOTU reminds the public of what those people are.

 

[Flanders]

I did not have to consult my magic marble to make this prediction: Taqiyya the Liar will not mention Common Core, or Agenda 21, in his State of the Union address.

Move over Bill Gates, Barack Obama is here. He’s meeting with town and city mayors and dropping millions of dollars on them under the guise of infrastructure resources in order to advance the United Nations ongoing push for Common Core.

XXXXX​

The trending of Common Core through schools should come with a red letter warning that the United Nations has all but taken over the countless villages, towns and cities that are the heart of flyover country.

In order to start winning the battle, citizens who prize sovereignty must understand that the deadliest and most covert enemy of modern-day free societies is not the federal government but municipal/civic government, many of which today are already working hand in hand with the United Nations.

The United Nations built Agenda 21 through bought-off town and city hall governments, more than a thousand caving in from the get-go to sell off the sovereignty of entire populations.

ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives) is the driving force of Agenda 21 implementation. “ICLEI members comprise a powerful movement of more than 1,000 cities and local governments around the globe, including 12 mega-cities, 100 super-cities and urban regions, 450 large cities as well as 450 small and medium-sized cities and towns in 84 countries.”

“In the United States, 450 member cities and counties include small rural towns and bustling metropolises in 46 states.”

XXXXX​

ICLEI brazenly lists its ownership over towns, cities and regions as “Our Powerful Network”.

You may be able to find your city on the ICLEI list at the bottom of this article.

Barack Obama Daddy Warbucks for UN Common Core
By Judi McLeod Monday, January 27, 2014

Barack Obama Daddy Warbucks for UN Common Core​

Judi is only wrong about one thing. The entire federal government is the enemy. The United Nations would be long-gone were it not for the traitors in the federal government supporting the UN’s dirty work.

See this article for an in-depth look at the money trail:

The federal government has provided all the operating funds—$330 million total—for two groups that will roll out national tests in spring 2015. These are the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and Smarter Balanced (SBAC). Together, the groups’ proposed budgets submitted to the federal government indicated they would spend almost $5.5 million in taxpayer dollars to convince taxpayers their money has been well spent and should continue once the federal funds dry up in September 2014. Later documents show PARCC and SBAC have upped that amount to at least $9.9 million.

Feds spend millions to promote Common Core

Feds Spend Millions to Promote Common Core | Heartlander Magazine​

Tonight, when our spiritual leader promises more money for education as he always does, he dare not mention the federal government’s misuse of tax dollars spent on Common Core. He knows that any mention of tax dollars funding Common Core, and Agenda 21, ties treason to the Department of Education.

After tonight's speech by the President, the Republicans will give at least 4 responses. This tells me one thing ONLY. The Republicans are not at all united in their message to the American people, and they only want to keep the voters guessing as to which of the positions their final candidate will espouse. With the Democrats, everyone KNOWS the positions they stand behind. With Barack for the next 3 years and with Hillary after that, their lines are already drawn in the sand. To the average Democratic voter, it is NOT a question of "Will our candidate be pro-choice or anti-abortion, or will our candidate support a minimum wage increase or not, etc." Democrats know who they are promoting and what issues they stand for. This is a party of positive values and goals.

 

[Darkwind]

Just once, in modern times, would I like to see a POTUS with the balls to just send a memorandum to the Congress detailing the State of the Union, why is is in that shape, and what he or she thinks should be done about it.

Should take all of a page and a half.


You know, they used to do just that. "From time to time, the President will........"

 

[jwoodie]

How many of you would vote for a third term?

 

[gipper]

Lies...lies...and more lies.

 

[IlarMeilyr]

He will use the non words "ugh" "uhm" "ahhh" and "err" combined slightly fewer times than he will use the words "I" "me" "my" and [the royal] "we."

You're right. The SOTU speech won't be about the state of the union, and probably not much about any rational recommendations to the Congress. It will be about Obama's favorite subject: himself and his plans.

 

[gipper]

If the SOTU speech was about the state of the union, this is what he would say...

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, fellow citizens:

This summer we will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I.

This senseless, destructive war was started and championed by politicians who cared nothing for the 9 million people who lost their lives.

And in doing so, they began a century of warfare which continues to this day.

Our military industrial complex is larger than ever. We have nearly 2 million troops and national guardsmen, plus 3.5 million civilians employed in the defense sector.

With such awesome capabilities, we continue to resort to violence and death to exact political goals which benefit a tiny elite.

All of this has created a police state in the Land of the Free that is a far cry from the country we all grew up in.

Your government has spawned a culture of fear and intimidation. Nearly every federal agency, including the Fish and Wildlife Service, has its own gun-toting police force to pistol-whip citizens into submission.

And we’re stocking up. Your government has recently procured 1.6 BILLION rounds of hollow-point ammunition to supplement our existing supplies.

But frankly, we don’t need guns to harass citizens.

Our tax authorities have become more threatening than mafia warlords. The plunder is so severe that record numbers of Americans are renouncing their citizenship and leaving the country.

There are now dozens of federal, state, and local agencies and courts which have the power to confiscate your assets without any due process.

In addition to your house, your business, and your savings, we also have the authority to take your children away from you as if they are property of the state.

more...The REAL State of the Union in just 889 words?

How can one govern with A-hole and un-cooperative losers like Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, Ryan, and all those T.P. failures as well? He is beginning to take the only positive action that can even approach over-coming this blatant do-nothing, sit-on-their-hands group of politicians (that's a joke in itself) who are sucking up hundreds of thousands of dollars for their own wallets and telling the rest of the country to pound sand. Shame on them. Go Obama and go Hillary!

To michael39301: Democrats running for office never tell their base what they stand for. If they did they would run as UN-loving traitors and/or Socialists/Communists. Proof: In 2008 Taqiyya the Liar ran on Hope & Change and on blaming Bush.

In 2012 he ran away from his first term with so much doublespeak Democrat voters did not what they were getting. In both elections he ran against Republican pushovers.

In both elections the MSM had their heads so far up his rear end a tractor was needed to pull them out.

Shame on them. Go Obama and go Hillary!

To michael39301: He had both Houses of Congress for the first two years of his first term and productive Americans got HillaryCare II rammed down their throats, bailouts, stimulus packages, a massive increase in foreign debt, the highest unemployment since the Great Depression, the bowing and scraping tour, and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq.

Even after losing the House in 2010 he still managed to give the country the Arab Spring, the Muslim Brotherhood, a rebirth of al-Qaeda, one secretary of state who was a total zero, and another who should have been hanged for treason 40 years ago.

He also put the biggest assortment of anti-America UN-lovers in cabinet posts, in ambassadorships, and in charge of the most important bureaucracies. Not content with those accomplishments he began purging loyal officers out of high-ranking positions in the military and replacing them with officers loyal to him.

Oh yeah! Go Obama and go Hillary Benghazi —— the country needs more your kind.

 

[michael39301]

To Flanders: You are nothing but wrong because I have always listened to and believed our beloved President. He ran on hope and change, BUT he could never have known that pure 100% A-holes such as I mentioned above and especially the T.P. would be nothing but huge roadblocks and do-nothings for their mega-thousands of dollars per year salaries. And the whole downturn in our once great economy was started by Bush family, yes both of them.
Republican pushovers in 2012? Yeah they both had all the confidence in the world didn't they? See where it got them? Only confidence and nothing the American people wanted. And I suppose YOU voted for them. Shows what YOU know.

Then you say that during his first two years Americans got the ACA rammed down their throats. Wrong again: He sure offered the do-nothings a chance to participate, but they never once offered anything constructive, unless it included the end of Medicare and/or more tax cuts for the top 1%, or the repeal of the ACA. Where you dumb enough, like they were, to think those items were helpful, or would even be considered? And talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq, are you referring to King Bush's alleged victory?

The remainder of you post is so high-school, like a figment of your imaginatioin, why don;'t you just shove it all?

There is no way Barack Obama is stepping aside in 2016 for Hillary Clinton. You are dreaming. He won't leave. Wait and see.

 

[Trajan]

apparently income inequality will be a bell ringer and applause line galore, but, thats kind of well, backwards, according to a Berkeley econ. and study income inequality has risen more so under obama than bush, if its becasue the econ. he inherited sucked which it did, it still doesn't square that circle.

And of course in some measure he thinks he has a safe haven in blaming congress ( their numbers are worse than his) , as they sit there in front of him

[michael39301]

Jeremiah, how many trillions would you like to bet? He doesn't even HAVE to step aside. His 2nd term ends, so Hillary can and will knock the socks off any Republican who sticks his/her nose in the race. You better go back to school and learn about Presidential terms.
