U.S.—With Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi threatening to delay the State of the Union Address because of the government shutdown, many now fear they’ll have no idea what’s going on in this country without the annual update from the president.
“Is the economy bad or good? Does the president think he’s doing a good job?” asked citizen Kent Miles. “These are the things I hope to finally find out when the president gives his yearly speech, but now Pelosi is threatening to take away that speech… and I don’t know why, because I haven’t heard the speech telling me what’s happening in this country.”
The usual habit of American citizens is to dig a small hole, crawl into it, cover themselves up with a thick tarp, and then emerge only once a year to watch a TV with antenna access to only the major networks. This makes the State of the Union address vital to their knowing what’s going on in the United States. Now those people may have to crawl back into their holes, no more enlightened, and lacking the visual of half the audience giving standing ovations while the other remain seated during trite statements by the president.
The White House is looking into an alternative way to inform the public of the state of the country and is currently considering producing a hastily published zine. Trump is reportedly busy picking out fonts.

There will be a State of the Union address.
Trump could have thrown Public Law 85-804 (50 U.S.C. §§ 1431-35) in Nancy’s face.
He doesn’t need Congressional approval to build the Wall, and he can reallocate funding at will. Congress gave the President this power in 1958, and has kept it in place.
President Trump must use it.
I’m sure the SCOTUS would be called upon to Marbury vs. Madison his newfound power.
I’m not saying I do not like the idea of this law from 1958 having the final say, it might provide just the kind of logic even a senile old bird like Ginsberg can’t dispute.
But, if this truly gives the president the legal authority, perhaps it is worth a stand.
Maybe someone should write a State of the Union address and post it here. Maybe someone should tell the President what a lot of us are thinking.
There’s a whole lot more going on behind the scenes and The Wall isn’t it. I’m starting to drift to the view that there isn’t just one group of Deep Staters or Globalists but may be several, and that they are at war with each other. Trump’s Faction versus all of the rest, and his faction sure isn’t angelic. God knows what we get after all of this comes to a head, but don’t be surprised that eventually NO checks and free shit will go out with the knowledge that the F.S.A. will revolt, loot, and burn in the big cities. Don’t be surprised if he uses civic disorder as an excuse to declare Martial Law, and that is when we get a glimpse of what he is really about.
Go with this….
Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to be a documentary. Lol.
