Biden continues to show his toothy grin to the media cameras, occasionally looking lost, but always aware of his ultimate purpose. February 22, 2021 PRESIDENT BIDEN’S FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS The gloves come off. Biden gives a speech beginning with the usual bromides about helping working-class families and celebrating the diversity of our nation. Then he turns his fire on Republicans...
