My brief take on the State of the Union (SOTU) on Thursday night.
It was a failure in so many ways. It began with Putin, bizarrely; Biden mentioned Ukraine, Sweden, and Finland before he mentioned the people of the United States. It was also deeply partisan, in a way the SOTU should not be.
He was heckled, and he deserved it. Moreover, Biden failed to condemn the ongoing wave of antisemitism, and spent too much time criticizing Israel.
So -- as a SOTU, it was a failure. But it succeeded in that it showed Biden is still just vigorous enough to give an hour-long speech. That means Democrats who want to replace him before the election have probably lost age as an argument.
I said before the speech that anyone who wants Biden to lose in November should hope that he has a great SOTU. Otherwise Democrats would try to replace him -- and Trump is probably beatable by any other Democrat.
For some more of my thoughts about the speech itself:

Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
