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.

UPDATE:

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.

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.
Demwit and RINO heads would be exploding for…

TO BE FAIR, THAT’S BECAUSE YOUR BODY NEEDS MEAT: She wrote vegan cookbooks. Then she started craving burgers.

A doctor’s visit revealed that Jamieson was severely anemic. Despite being a trained chef and doing everything “within the vegan framework” to make sure she was getting enough vitamins and minerals — “I’d written books about it. I knew what you were supposed to do,” she says — including cooking with cast iron pots and even getting intravenous iron infusions, it wasn’t enough. “I was like, this is crazy. This is not sustainable. And this is not how humans are supposed to stay healthy,” she says.

So, after 10 years of being a vegan, Jamieson’s red meat dreams became a reality: She bit into a burger. “It was delicious,” she says. “It was like heaven. My body was like, Oh my God, thank you.”

Helen was a vegetarian before her heart attack, after which she said “screw it, I’m eating meat.” I took her to Morton’s in Nashville for her first steak and her reaction was simillar. I remember her saying “what the hell was I thinking?” after her first bite.
