'Quite A Factual Speech!' CNN's Daniel Dale Fact-Checks Biden Shortly After State of the Union

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale gave President Joe Biden high marks for accuracy shortly after Biden’s State of the Union address, telling Jake Tapper it was “quite a factual speech!”

Joe Biden has more energy than a much younger man. He was on fire in his speech and the Republicans were clearly uncomfortable as the President outlined very popular policies. He used the power of facts and the truth. Bravo. - Barbra Streisand

The GOP: WE LOVE FOOT SHOOTIN'!

America was introduced to Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) Thursday night, and was left mostly confused — and maybe a little terrified.

Delivering the opposition party’s response to a president’s State of the Union address is widely viewed as a thankless task, but Britt’s commentary after President Joe Biden concluded his speech had viewers all across the political aisle eviscerating her performance and making jokes about how Saturday Night Live would portray her.

Katie Britt just dethroned Lauren Boebert as the laughingstock of America. - TheUSASingers

Out of the approximately 167 million women living in the United States, Republicans chose Katie Britt to deliver their response.

And placed her in a kitchen.

Thats some scary sh*t. - Woman in the Moon

This Is Why So Many Americans Are Stupid.

North Carolina's public schools superintendent and some state legislators won't be returning to their positions in 2025 after primary defeats by challengers who questioned their rivals' commitment to social conservatism or a Democratic agenda.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt lost Tuesday's Republican primary to Michele Morrow, a home-schooling parent and conservative activist who has accused public schools of indoctrinating students with left-leaning views on race and gender.

Strength. Clarity. Vision. Compassion. Never been prouder to serve under the leadership of our President. - Secretary Pete Buttigieg

She found that Mr Trump's compensation claim was "bound to fail".

In a new ruling she also ordered Mr Trump to pay Orbis's costs "of the entire claim".

Biden to announce Gaza aid port construction in State of the Union speech

U.S. President Joe Biden will announce in his State of the Union speech on Thursday that the U.S. military will construct a port on Gaza's Mediterranean coast to receive humanitarian assistance by sea, senior administration officials said.

The officials also said at a news briefing that Hamas is delaying a new deal with Israel on releasing hostages because it has not agreed to free sick and elderly hostages, the officials told reporters.
