Normally, an incoming president gives a speech to a joint session of Congress the February following his inauguration.
As of this posting, there’s been no such announced speech for President Biden.
Strangely enough, this hasn’t made the international headlines it would have made if it were President Trump who had taken office but failed to schedule a speech amid questions about his competency.
In fact, when the question arises, it’s typically followed by media reports insisting there is no constitutional requirement for a February speech to Congress– which nearly avoids the whole question.
Within 24 hours before this post, Wikipedia’s agenda editors deleted a page that said Biden would soon be scheduling his February speech to Congress.

What do you think?
Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution states:
“He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,”
This is not an optional thing that can be cancelled at the whim of the President or the Congress. It is a Constitutional requirement that he must do.
This is true, but, as we’ll be reminded incessantly by his protectors, there’s little specification as to the frequency and/or timing. There’s already news flurries stating the Capitol Police have intelligence of significant threats, and there’s always COVID as the go-to excuse.
That Biden won’t stand behind the podium in Congress and speak for an hour should not surprise anyone. It was clear during his campaign that his faculties were diminishing rapidly and that the least popular, most radical Democrat in the primaries would be tagged as his successor.
Watching this is no different than a five-year-old magician making a tennis ball disappear by putting it in his pocket. Parents laugh and cheer just as the Democrats will surely do when Harris is coronated as the first woman (of color) elected as POTUS.
The bloody Democrats need to pretend that DC is “under siege” by “white supremacist Trumpsters.” The Democrats are always playing the victim — while trying to pick your pocket and steal your wallet.
BTW, I should be out of FB jail [again] in approx two and a half weeks. ~:<)

From skimming through all the comments, it is very telling that everyone is fully aware of how incapacitated Biden is. How long can this charade go on?
It is obvious that Biden is a puppet being used by the DC swamp to promote a socialist agenda.
Keep up the good work, Sheryl!
The scary part is his handlers knew and still made it happen. What in Gods name is in store for us?
Require an immediate competency examination by both a neurologist and psychiatrist. This sham of him as the US president must end. All of his signed executive orders must be rescinded. This is cruel. Have some compassion. Representatives and Senators, get on this.
And that’s why 81 million people voted for him — because he’s not really senile; but he does gaffe a lot
But no mean tweets about Somali refugees going back to their homeland. That’s the important thing!!
Why put Biden in that position? The actual state of the union is becoming very clear- the leftists at the federal level are doing whatever they please, including ramming a crapola ‘stimulus package’ down our throats that does not ‘stimulate’ much for those suffering. But it sure does stimulate the heavy campaign donors. Our great-grandchildren will be paying this off. Meanwhile, the middle economic classes are under financial assault, anyone who voted for Trump is being demonized, human sexuality is being abnormally re-defined, we are now sanctioning and funding mass termination of children in the womb here AND abroad, preparations are being made to infringe on our second amendment rights, there are still governors keeping their states on lockdown, there are still teachers drawing salaries while kids experience at-home learning, the plug was pulled on investigations shutting down child trafficking, and the color of one’s skin has never been more important. I’m sure I am forgetting something….
If Biden were to give an honest appraisal of the ‘state of the union,’ we may just need those fences and armed troops in DC.
Then there’s the fact that the Biden Administration doesn’t need to begin his presidency with any speeches in a gesture of offering a spirit of cooperation or informing congress about his goals and wishes in the execution of his office; he can just by-pass congress altogether with Executive Orders, and congress will just sit back and allow it, because they can get Mr. Biden to enact their laws without having to negotiate, make deals or break a sweat.
I think they are scared to death of any public speaking where so many are watching…he’s incompetent and they know it…
I believe there is a constitutional requirement that a State of the Inion report be issued to the House and Senate. The public address just became more of a tradition, and is dependent upon an invitation from the Speaker. Remember, Pelosi toyed with not inviting Trump in 2020. I wonder if the report was given? It goes in the record, so it should be released publicly so we can find it easily and read it.
Every video I have seen of Biden in the last couple months was very heavily edited, and even then, he did not seem cognizant. Check out the two “weekly conversation” videos on the Youtube White House channel. The editing to cover Joe’s incompetence every couple phrases are GLARINGLY obvious. The killer is likes/dislikes run less than 1:10, and this for a guy we are supposed to believe won by a landslide!! Trumps WH videos like/dislike ratios pretty much usually mirrored his polling data, i. e. close to 50/50. His farewell speech, for instance, has well over 800,000 views, like/dislike ratio 75% favorable. (A little favorable for a guy the country was supposedly eager to remove from office…) This does NOT pass the “smell test.”
Joe cant write a speech and his handlers won’t even try to expose this jerk.
Biden has proven already that he cannot keep up with reading the teleprompter, and obviously his handlers know this.
As gaff worthy as Biden is a few mis-statements or flubbed lines will prove how poor of a choice he was.
No way Joe could make it through an entire State of the Union speech, so that’s why the Uni-Party establishment has quitely agreed not to have one.
That’s ok by me. As far as I am concerned, the results of the 2020 election are still unclear. Maybe they only acted unethically so Joe “won” with that aid alone, or they stole it illegally (i.e. using any means necessary). Either way, Joe isn’t my President.
He is NOT the president; therefore, he cannot give the State of the Union address. Would love to watch all the goons in one place, however.
Especially if the speech is normally given in the evening he could be having sundowners; more confused than during the day.
