I usually prefer to stay away from the ancillary stuff, but the remarks by Joe Biden today were not normal, not even close.
Every national address by a president has a massive advance team checking every detail of a venue before broadcast. The optics they put together for Biden’s “battle for the soul of a nation” speech tonight, was just plain creepy and weird. I mean think about it, what does this imagery present when discussing the theme of battling for the soul of a nation?

These are not modified images or changes in presentation; they are exactly what was broadcast to the nation. It looks straight up evil. Like something out of a hellscape theatrical production intended to showcase Baal as the “soul of the nation.”
On one hand, this is the realistic tone of the Biden administration. But on the other hand, you would not expect to see this harsh dictatorship enhanced with the backdrop to give it such angered imagery. I have never seen anything even close to this in a presidential address. Beyond creepy.


It is refreshing to see a republican politician taking the arrogance of the McConnell crew to task. It is even more refreshing to see Senator Scott use the atomic sledgehammer of truth:
Comrades, a heatwave hit the Colorado region Tuesday with temperatures exceeding 90 degrees.
Republicans created the Patriot Act, the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The same agencies that Barack Obama later weaponized with the creation of the Dept of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
