Breaking down President Trump's first official State of the Union Address. Fantastic & inspirational. CBS poll finds 75% of Americans who watched the speech approve of it. But only 25% of viewers were Democrats. Bernie's technical problem. What in the world was worth protesting in this speech? And what did Trump say that made him sound mentally unstable? The little I heard of Joe Kennedy's speech was much more illogical & problematic. Why sit when Trump tells us the African American & Hispanic American unemployment rates are at all time lows? Stand, clap and then tell us the nonsensical drivel that these results are because of Obamanomics. A few of my problems. Overall, very pleased with the speech. We need to hear that story of America much more often from our leaders. Host of heroes & great personal stories shared last night. Out of time.

Trump to deliver first State of the Union Address to nation tonight. Left in meltdown mode. Eleven Democrats are boycotting event. Some are wearing black for their support of the #MeToo movement. Five Democrats are giving responses. I still think Maxine Waters - or maybe Bernie Sanders - is giving the official response. Professor tricks students, including a disabled Marine Corps vet, to walk on the American flag. Calls it art. "Outdated models of masculinity," like what we see in the movie "12 Strong," is criticized. Release the FISA memo. Nancy Pelosi says the border wall is "almost immoral." Convoluted view of morality.

Grammy's get political. So shocking. Jay-Z 2020? Ever notice that after every awards show, we get a new political candidate for the Left? I'm still holding out hope for Sexy Sexy Sexy Martin O'Malley. Political discourse. Confusion, fear & misunderstanding. State of the Union (SOTU) Address tomorrow. Trump to tout economy & talk about his vision for infrastructure, immigration, trade & national security. Democrats select Far Left extremist Maxine Waters to deliver SOTU response. People's SOTU tonight - hosted by Hollywood elitists. Trump wants to nationalize 5G network? Had a great time speaking at a church in North Vernon yesterday. Very grateful for the invitation. Want me to speak at your church, civic association or tea party group? Gratitude for being an American.

Leaders heaping praise on Trump in Davos for helping to spur economic growth in US, which has boosted other economies. Trump's ideas matter. NYT's says Trump ordered Mueller fired in June. Comparing how the Far Left and Conservatives view their leaders. Doomsday clock advances 1 minute toward midnight. What the world needs. No one is against legal immigration, but illegal immigration needs to be stopped. America cannot admit anyone who wants to live here, so we should focus on exporting American ideals to help the most people around the world. Free markets. Free people. Heritage Foundation ranks Trump higher than Reagan after first year. Trump's immigration deal. Amnesty Don? Political reactions from both sides of the issue. A white supremacist ransom note? Ridiculous. SOTU address. People's SOTU? Ha!

Trump in Davos, Switzerland. America First message. What's so troubling to the Left about this? DACA. Immigration. Illegal aliens protest outside Chuck Schumer's home, demanding citizenship now. Whatever your position on this issue, illegal aliens putting demands on our government is completely insane. Trump to talk with Mueller. Offers to do so under oath. Wants to put this issue to rest for good. Text messages between high-ranking FBI officials are being recovered. This needs to be investigated. John Kerry 2020? Let's not forget Kanye, Oprah, The Rock, Sexy Sexy Sexy Martin O'Malley & Elizabeth Warren. Self-appointed official spokesperson for the Pocahontas family. The Logan Act.

Immigration debate heats up. Trump says new Senate deal crafted by Senators Durbin, Flake & Graham is DOA. "Cryin' Chuck Schumer" rescinds offer to fund wall. Trump: "No wall, no DACA." Negotiating with Trump. A wall won't work? In what universe? US falls to 8th greatest country. Whatever. The best indicator of being a great country is how many people want to immigrate there. The DACA argument in a nutshell. Whatever the final agreement on DACA, border security is paramount. We must put an end to this problem for good. The highest echelon of the Democrat Party looks at the issue of immigration as a political calculation. Sad. Extinction of men in 4.6 million years? Sounds like a far Leftist's utopian dreams can begin. Democrats gleeful over possibility that Moeller may be interviewing Trump. Some, undoubtedly, think this is the end for Trump & the GOP. Meanwhile, we have this FBI corruption scandal percolating in the background. This is what a scandal looks like. NFL won't run AMVETS #PleaseStand ad during Super Bowl because it politicizes an issue, but they will list Colin Kaepernick as a finalist for one of it's service awards. Contradict much?

Democrats agree to end government shutdown. Get basically nothing in return. DACA will be addressed by February 8 instead of March. Reduces the time before next CR is needed. Where is evidence of collusion? FBI "secret society?" "Insurance policy." Missing text messages. Bleach Bit. Smashing cell phones with hammers. Secret meeting at Sky Harbor International Airport. Deep State. This is what collusion looks like.

Government shutdown drama. Inexcusable that the military & border patrol isn't paid - but Congress is paid during shutdown. Shutdown will remain largely unnoticeable for most Americans. Schumer Shutdown. Political theater. What's DACA got to do with this? The filibuster is supposed to keep debate open on an issue, so why aren't they on the Senate floor debating? Setting the threshold at 60 votes. We need to end short-term "CRs" and come up with responsible, long-term budget. What needs to happen here? Outrageous claims about government shutdown. CNN guest afraid an asteroid may wallop earth during the shutdown? Diane Feinstein tells us people could die during shutdown. No time to talk about Hillary, text messages & the FBI.

Pending government shutdown is just hours away. Congress has been legislating crisis-to-crisis because it is unwilling or unable to address the bigger problem we face: uncontrolled government spending. Solution passes House after Freedom Caucus negotiates deal, now bill moves to Senate. What will happen there? Senator Diane Feinstein says people may die from a government shutdown. Reminds me of Reason TV's parody song "People Will Die." Illustrates so much of what's wrong with government and the role some believe it should play in our every day lives.  A year of Trump. Waiting to see Facebook post updates from my Liberal friends. Business & Government.

Trump's fake news award show is well done and effective at communicating his point that the media isn't really doing it's real job of speaking truth to power. Instead, it's become the PR firm for the Democrat Party - and a blunt force weapon used to attack him and his political agenda. A lesson for Republicans in political theater. Meanwhile, Jeff Flake speaks to an audience of 2 Senators - that's right TWO - as he compares Trump to Joseph Stalin. Confusing the ideal role of the press with their actual work. The Left often confuses ideals with reality - and that sums up a great deal of what's wrong with their political ideology. Benefits of Trump Tax Reform Plan felt immediately. Media now telling us how much worse it is to get a bonus than an increase in wages. They originally told us no one would get increased wages or bonuses or anything else. Let them tell us how bad bonuses are. Talk about disconnected. Let the Left defend their nonsense at election time.
