Indiana is now just one of the last five states in the nation without a hate crimes bill. What are their priorities that they can’t come to a consensus in Indianapolis? No time to discuss hate crimes or child welfare.

President Trump says it will be hard to unify the country without a “major event.” I hope that he isn’t suggesting some kind of war. I would suggest that he resign, that kind of “major event” would unify many in the country and make them deliriously happy.

Contact your legislators. Do not allow them to privatize our interstate highways such as I-94 and I-65 into toll roads. Do not give them to corporations so that they can profit from them.

Great speech, Mr. President. None of that phony baloney that we had been hearing for the past eight SOTU speeches. I have been having trouble sleeping during the prior administration, but this past year has been very soothing on the mind knowing that the country is back into good hands. Did you notice how those Democrats cringed every time the facts were brought out on how good things are going this past year? Although, I do think the Republican Congress deserves most of the credit.

During the State of the Union speech, for a $35 campaign donation, there was livestream screen running with donors names. Has Trump turned his speech into a Jerry Lewis telethon?

Do any of you president Trump haters know if he had a Big Mac before he gave his SOTU speech? Inquiring minds want to know. Was his tie too long? did he burp a couple times like Nancy Pelosi said he would? Democrats never stood once in support of Americans at all did they? What a great party those all American Democrats turned out to be!

Now it appears that the White House had some input on the infamous Nunes memo. Well, how convenient is that? What is it about this guy and all of his shady behavior?

In 2016, EPA Chief Scott Pruitt said “I believe that Donald Trump in the White House would be more abusive to the Constitution than Barack Obama — and that’s saying a lot.” Now they are best pals, funny how that works.

In his first State of the Union speech, President Trump called for unity. That seems kind of odd, considering all that he has done to divide the nation.

After watching the rebuttal to the presidents SOTU speech with Joe Kennedy III, I couldn’t help but wonder if the reason he finished it in Spanish is because he’s trying to give you a view of the country he sees in the future. You know the country he’s willing to give away to immigrants because he loves America so much. These liberals just don’t get it do they?

Someone should remind President Trump that the infamous mobster, John Gotti, was considered to be untouchable. He was nicknamed “Teflon Don” because prosecutors couldn’t get him for any of his crimes. You know who sent him to prison for life? Robert Mueller .

Brenda Fitzgerald, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has resigned today. Only after information was released that she owned stocks in Japanese Tobacco. This is one of the biggest issues in this administration — no vetting of these officials. All of them have dubious backgrounds.
