Which President is the Most Responsible for the Current State of the Union
Submitted by JtC on Tue, 02/07/2023 - 10:46amTonight Joe Biden will present his State of the Union speech in which he will highlight his culpability in the current state of affairs of the United States of America. The U.S. is now 247 years old and has endured 47 presidents. The Constitution requires that every president submit a yearly "State of the Union" message.
From the paragon of truthiness:
The State of the Union Address (sometimes abbreviated to SOTU) is an annual message delivered by the president of the United States to a joint session of the United States Congress near the beginning of each calendar year on the current condition of the nation. The State of the Union Address generally includes reports on the nation's budget, economy, news, agenda, progress, achievements and the president's priorities and legislative proposals.
The address fulfills the requirement in Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution for the president to periodically "give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."During most of the country's first century, the president primarily submitted only a written report to Congress. After 1913, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. president, began the regular practice of delivering the address to Congress in person as a way to rally support for the president's agenda. With the advent of radio and television, the address is now broadcast live in all United States time zones on many networks.
Bla bla black sheep squadron.

Since I've decided to keep my old truck (1986 Mazda B2000) instead of buying a new Ford electric, and I can't wait any longer on the Tesla Cybertruck, I'm shopping for a new radio for it.
Haven't had any tunes for a few years as I was anticipating getting a new truck anytime soon. Ha.

Never Again is now Global movie
Submitted by snoopydawg on Mon, 02/06/2023 - 1:33pmI just watched part 1 and it blew me away. Vera Sharav, who fortunately survived the Holocaust, answers questions about the holocaust then and now, slavery and compliance. Orphans were taken from the camp and put on a boat to somewhere she refused to go on it and the Nazis blew it up that night. She learned to trust her feelings about things and that is why she has not gotten jabbed.

A love letter from New Zealand to Bob Marley
Submitted by janis b on Mon, 02/06/2023 - 1:37amThere’s a documentary on TVNZ, When Bob Came, which explores the cultural and political impact Bob Marley’s 1979 visit to New Zealand had on this country, and still lives strongly. It’s free if you log in to TVNZ, but I totally understand that most won’t be inclined to. But for those enduring Bob Marley fans it will be a treat.
