It has never happened before. A Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, refuses to allow the President to give his State of the Union Address in the House as scheduled.
At first she said there were security concerns making it difficult to protect the President. This was nonsense as the Secret Service and other security agencies said there is no such security problem. As of Wednesday, Pelosi now refuses to permit the President saying she won’t allow it until the partial government shutdown has ended. Problem is she refuses to sit down and compromise. Obstinate. She has made a calculated political decision. She, Schumer, Hillary, Obama and a host of other Democrats voted for or favored the building of a Mexican border wall. This is all politics. Nothing more.
Her problem is a number of Democrat’s are now giving pause. Some have said give him the wall and we will get much more than ever expected in return. Her Majority Leader in the House, Steny Hoyer, is now saying a wall would be effective. Congressman James Clyborn says a wall would help. The question is how will the Independents, the middle of the road average American approve of her decision. Jacksjargon believes her move will hurt her more than hurting President Trump. He has been willing to compromise all along. Think about it. If you are a hard nosed liberal/socialist Democrat endowed with Trump “Derangement Syndrome” you love her move. But, politically it’s a dumb move. The public has overwhelmingly, for years, disliked Nancy Pelosi. Now the scene is Pelosi won’t compromise…the President will and has already. You decide.
President Trump, in part, says “It would be so sad for our Country if the State of the Union speech was not given on time and in the very important location.” It was scheduled for Tuesday, January 29th. So now what? Delay the speech? No way. Deliver it in a rally format in a friendly State such as Indiana. Being given consideration. However, many channels, even major networks, likely would not televise it. Jacksjargon urges all involved in decision making GIVE THE SPEECH IN THE SENATE. It’s controlled by Republicans and the speech will have a more Presidential atmosphere. It’s likely to receive more live coverage. Hands down it’s the way to go.
Meanwhile…the President reached an agreement Wednesday with major drug manufacturers to lower prices. The public simply never hears good news. It is always slanted against the President. CNN and MSNBC merely make noise over-blowing stories like the Catholic Kids causing trouble in D.C. wearing their MAGA caps. Once again having to retract what they wanted to believe. And the President often makes matters worse with tweets. The average American would be shocked to know how well the Country has done during the last two years.
Let’s put it this way. The average cost for a Harley Davidson motorcycle is $8,000. in America. Elsewhere across the ocean it is averaged at $20,000. President Trump has made a good relationship with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Negotiating this week with them as their economy has weakened significantly thanks to the Presidents actions. While ours is the strongest in the world at present. Plus our military can now protect the USA better than ever.
The President will never give in on building a wall at the border. He may compromise and modify to end the partial government shutdown. Pelosi? She won’t budge…unless the polls show she is losing favor. And that just might happen provided the poll question isn’t slanted to the left.
