Project 21’s Black Conservatives Respond to Biden’s SOTU Address: ‘Disconnected from Reality’ | EURweb

Project 21

*Washington, D.C. – In response to President Joe Biden‘s 2024 State of the Union address, the third of his increasingly troubled presidency, ambassadors with the Project 21 black leadership network noted that the President’s take on the State of the Union doesn’t align with reality.

“The title of tonight’s State of the Union address should have been, ‘Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?’” said Project 21 ambassador and radio talk show host Christopher R. Arps. “The President boasts that ‘Bidenomics’ is working, but prices are up, wages are down and our southern border is wide open resulting in an unprecedented number of illegal aliens invading our major cities — and in too many instances — harming and murdering our citizens.”

“The President’s self-proclaimed successes seem disconnected from reality, but what would you expect from a president who has attempted to shake hands with invisible people and who claims he has recently spoken with long-dead foreign leaders?” added Arps.

“Biden’s State of the Union address was more of a far-left manifesto than a governmental report,” said Project 21 ambassador Michael Austin. “It began as a Zelensky infomercial, only to spiral into a reelection tirade. And let’s talk about his performance — with constant yelling, more coughing than a pack-a-day smoker, and rants as decipherable as a toddler’s tantrum; this wasn’t a State of the Union Address but a political ‘Get off my lawn.’”

For three years, President Biden and his Administration have claimed the border was “safe and secure.” Yet now, he says illegal immigration is indeed a problem, but it is not his fault. Project 21 members note the damage illegal immigration is causing in black America, and offer sensible recommendations, in the recently published What Immigration Policy Means for Black America, as well as in comments on the State of the Union address.

“The sole responsibility of any government is to protect its citizens,” said Project 21 ambassador Terris Todd. “Unfortunately, the President has no reasonable explanation to the American people who are working two or three jobs to provide for their families and are also paying the cost for others to invade our country and end the lives of their loved ones. The message he sends to the world is that ‘lawlessness and failure’ get rewarded.”

“Once again Biden fails to address the question on everyone’s mind, liberals and conservatives alike. What are you doing about the invasion at the Southern Border, which you claim you have no power to address when you are the one tasked with securing the nation?” asks Project 21 ambassador Auriol Sonia Morris. “And we cannot forget the resulting spike in crime, especially in minority communities that are already reeling from the Administration’s soft-on-crime policies. Our nation has become a veritable free-for-all — but only if you’re an illegal immigrant. If you are a legal immigrant or citizen, ‘too bad for you, but we’ll happily take your tax dollars and ruin national security and the economy.’”

“We now know that this Administration is sneakily flying in hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the country. All-in-all, it is very difficult to believe that what we are witnessing is not a purposeful crippling of this nation in an attempt to wipe this constitutional republic as we know it from the map,” added Morris. “President Biden may go down in history not only as the worst president this country has ever known, but as the one who ‘single-handedly’ destroyed the republic he was sworn to protect.”

The struggling economy is causing tremendous damage to lower- and middle-class Americans, but black Americans are especially hard hit.

“Once again, Biden continues his war on the finances of American families,” said Project 21 Director of Membership Development Donna Jackson. “Corporate tax hikes will only raise the prices of goods and services that American families are already struggling to afford. Aside from being a regressive tax on the poor, raising corporate taxes also means these businesses will have less money to hire, promote and pay raises and bonuses. This country was formed because the taxes imposed were too harsh for the founders to pay, but I guess that is one more American history lesson the Biden Administration failed to learn.”
