SOTU?... or STFU?
Author: BobR    Date: 02/25/2026 14:00:54

I'll start out with a disclaimer - I didn't watch it. If I wanted to be lied to, and had a verbal diarrhea word salad thrown in my face, I'd... well... I'd have watched it. But we all knew what was coming, and - according to at least one source - we were pretty much on the nose:

  • He made scant mention of his aggressive moves on immigration

  • He mentioned killing of Mexican drug lord

  • He touted shaky ceasefire deal in Gaza

  • He claimed Homeland Security shutdown is impacting snow cleanup

  • He falsely claimed voter fraud is "rampant"

  • He told Democrats they’re responsible for high costs

  • He claimed drug price cuts of 300% to more than 600%

  • He touted his health care proposal, which hasn’t made headway in Congress yet

  • He misleadingly claimed that tariff revenues are "saving" the US

  • He falsely claimed tariffs have been paid by "foreign countries"


It goes on and on and on. If you want to read the full text, it's available. CBS News provided some fact-checking.

Newly-minted VA governor Abigail Spanberger provided the Democratic response. Feel free to watch it:



Here's hoping someone else gives that speech next year...

Day 401... 1058 to go.

Trump points at Democrats and says, "these people are crazy. I'm telling you. They're crazy." (Note that Pete Hegseth and the rest of the cabinet are standing and cheering.)

I wasted not one second of my time last night. Watched some classic British sci-fi instead...Quatermass and The Pit.
