In thirty years of following politics, this writer has never seen a president have the kind of week President Trump had. From impeachment to the economy to the Democrat Party primary, each day brought a new Trump victory. The president is in the midst of an impressive winning streak. Last Monday, the parties held the Iowa Caucuses....Click it, you know you want to.

What Will Watched: The President
SOTU: Trump got off to an excellent start listing his many accomplishments. He compared himself to Obama and left Barry's legacy in tatters. The speech sagged in them middle, but Trump gave us a great finale with a trio of real tearjerker, sentimental moments. The entire speech was packaged beautifully, really tight. Do people really think Trump doesn't understand TV and media? Are you not entertained?

The United States House of Representatives, like all good legislative bodies, is an independent branch of government.
As such the president speaks there at the House's pleasure.
This year it is not the House's pleasure and San Fran Nan has disinvited President Trump.
Good.
The State of the Union is sooooo stupid. A dumb, scripted pageant filled with trained seals lapping up fish tossed at them by a ring master.
The president is merely required to report on the state of the union from time to time.
Till 1913 this report was delivered in writing.
The first president to address congress was Woodrow Wilson.
Reader(s) of William Stroock dot BlogSpot dot com are reeling from their smart phones, doing spit takes and saying, 'Woodrow Wilson! Great scot!' If a college professor thinks something is a good idea, it's probably not.
Nancy thinks she's being clever, but all she's really done is shown that she is out of her league, in over her head. Pick whatever metaphorical cliché you like, Granny de-Botox has given Trump the excuse he needs to deliver the SOTU at say, I dunno, the border!

It was a Great Speech, the Most Beautiful Speech, Really First Rate...
After watching the President's State of the Union Speech it's hard not to feel optimistic about his administration and the country. We really liked the first 1/4 or so where he touted all the economic numbers, job creation, returning companies, etc etc. Trump sounded more polished than usual, though still like Trump.
At this point in our life, the best part of the SOTU is watching the opposition. We were not disappointed. Via Drudge:
Granny Pebotoxi looked like her Depends needed to be changed. That's the future of the Dems, people. Honestly we were surprised the Dems/Left didn't pull some loony stunts. Trump kept trying to get the Dems to stand and applaud, which was nice.
The esteemed M. Steyn rails against the SOTU these days and we see his point. Third World Dictators wish they could throw themselves a pageant like this. We disliked the massive motorcade. Trump should have taken the Farragut Square Metro to the Capitol Metro stop and used the experience to talk about the need for an infrastructure bill. Why not?
The Constitution merely requires the president to report on the state of the union 'from time to time'. The grand SOTU event only goes back to Woodrow Wilson. That fact alone gives one pause. Next year, Tweet it.*
*disclosure: We stole the idea from somebody, but we're not sure from whom.
