STANDING UP AGAINST HATE: Trump Admin Sues UCLA For Creating ‘Antisemitic Hostile Work Environment.’

OOPS:
IMO the dems were in shock tonight. They believed the media and thought Trump would be coming into the speech wounded. Instead, he came in with guns ablazing, taking victory lap after victory lap, calling out the crazy dems to their face, recounting his and thr gop wins, and…

This applies in many spheres, actually. In 2016, Trump thought he was elected president of a normal America with functioning institutions. Now he knows better.
I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHY:
How is the Jack Hughes photo not the cover of TIME magazine? It is literally one of the most iconic American photos to ever exist. pic.twitter.com/XK4WxyJZdB

UPDATE: I stand corrected. But I’ll bet it won’t be on the next cover either. I’d love to be wrong.
A GOOD CORRECTION FOR THE BLACKPILLERS, DOOMERS, AND PANICANS OUT THERE:
If it wasn't for rightwing lawyers, Trump wouldn't have been on the ballot in 2024, the Ninth Circuit would still be an leftist law factory, Roe would still be law, Chevron would still be law, discrimination against Whites would still be legal at universities, COVID vaccine… https://t.co/XnNNlCFJNu

JEFFREY CARTER: “You know why libertarian Republicans can’t win in general elections? They are terrible at strategy.” “AOC would never break ranks with Democrats. She’d never pick a fight to make them look bad. Massie goes out of his way to do it.”

WE SAW THAT TONIGHT:
This is an amazing chart. Republicans are prouder to be American today than in 2000. Something really weird happened to Democrats though.

I READ ROGER SIMON’S NEW NOVEL, EMET, AND I OFFERED A BLURB, which you can read at the link. Truly enjoyable and kept me turning pages until the end.
THEY’RE SAYING IT WAS THE LONGEST STATE OF THE UNION IN HISTORY. Didn’t seem like it. I wasn’t even planning to watch the whole thing and I just kept watching.
The immortal visual of the entire Democrat party—upon explicit repeated invitation—refusing to stand for the core moral principle that US government owes its allegiance to US citizens and not foreign criminal invaders, is the most shocking image in the history of the US Congress.

THEY DON’T KNOW HOW NORMAL PEOPLE THINK:
I cannot believe Dems fell hook, line, and sinker for Trump's message. Refusing to stand for the statement that we should support citizens over illegal aliens was a giant gift to GOP candidates in the midterms.
Omar and Tlaib angrily yelling back is just the icing on the cake.

Trump asks peopole to stand if they agree that the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens. No Democrats stand. Trump pauses, understanding the significance of the moment heading into midterms.

NOT CARING ABOUT SUCH THINGS IS AN UNDERAPPRECIATED SOURCE OF MALE POWER:

I LIKE ILHAN OMAR LOOKING NERVOUS AS TRUMP ANNOUNCES A “WAR” ON SOMALI FRAUD LED BY J.D. VANCE.
LMAO not the person responsible for switching cameras going STRAIGHT to Ilhan Omar as Trump announces that Somali “pirates” have looted our nation

Plus, a contrast:
Trump brought the Olympic champion U.S. hockey team to the State of the Union, and the Democrats brought a woman who helped Epstein traffic underage girls.

OPEN THREAD: Make it a groovy Tuesday.
AT PJ MEDIA THEY’LL BE Liveblogging the State of the Union.
Starting here at 8:45. Our own Vodkapundit, Stephen Green, will be doing it too, and will post a link shortly.
But I wish Trump and JD would do this:
Constitutionally, Vice President Vance IS the President of the Senate. He has full authority and power to call for that voice vote, AND to rule if it passes.
AND, JD sure has the balls to make it happen.
THAT would be SOOOOOO FUN.
