January 1, House Republicans “Gravely Concerned” Over Biden’s Speech
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
2001: Two passenger planes hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists crash into New York’s World Trade Towers causing the collapse of both and deaths of 2,606 people.
House Republicans wrote a letter to the Department of Defense saying they’re “gravely concerned” about President Joe Biden’s use of Marines as “political props” during a recent speech.
In a letter addressed to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the lawmakers said the Marines “participated in a political event” that “jeopardizes their compliance” with rules against partaking in political activities while in uniform.
“We are gravely concerned that throughout the entirety of this partisan, politically charged, and divisive address to the nation, two United States Marines were visibly present flanking the President in the background,” the House Republicans wrote.
“The President’s use of active-duty Marines as political props undermines the apolitical nature of our servicemembers and erodes trust in our military,” they wrote.
The letter was signed by House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), House Armed Services Committee ranking member Mike Rogers (AL), and House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense ranking member Ken Calvert (CA).
“You’ve expressed your concern about politicization of the military and have insisted the military will not become a political instrument under your watch. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened with the participation of the Marines at this political event,” the lawmakers wrote.
Biden’s use of Marines in his Sept. 1 speech in Philadelphia sparked criticism. Even Biden’s supporters criticized him for placing Marines behind him during an address that was largely regarded as political.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the move, saying Biden included Marines out of respect for the military.
“It is not abnormal. It is actually normal for presidents from either side of the aisle to give speeches in front of members of the military,” Jean-Pierre said. “It is not an unusual sight or is not an unusual event to have happen.”

Bidens speech was full of satanism and Marines should not have been made to stand with him in this, everytime I see those Marines I feel this Country has gone to Hell litterally!

As a former Marine, I would have to had declined participation citing it as a political event. Whatever punishment meted out to me, if any, would have been worth it.

Buffoon Joe Bidet used the presence of the Uniformed MARINES during his completely political hate speech in an attempt and in the hope that it would send the message to any and all who oppose or descent to his Communist Socialist Un-American values and his far left progressive “vision” that he as Resident in chief would unleash a military under his direct order to enforce his doctrine upon and enslave any person(s) he deemed as opposing him!! The Hellish theatrical setting Bidet utilized was intended to both cause fear among and spur those not sharing his evil Socialist Totalitarian zeal in the hopes that the American people having witnessed his Hitler-like NAZI inspired prime time broadcast message would react violently to the perceived threat to the very freedoms American Citizen’s are guaranteed and are accustomed to. Bidet did in fact voice that, according to his statements, approximately half of the Citizens of the United States of America were a Danger to National Security and to the freedoms of the U.S. Citizens as a whole. The threat of using military force against the U.S. Citizens Bidet considered disloyal to himself was perpetuated and very thinly veiled by the presence of the two Uniformed MARINES that where stationed visibly and constantly during Bidet’s vile, inflammatory, vicious political attack on Republicans and others he feels do not support his regime’s Socialist agenda.

The president doesn’t usually stuff his speeches with members of the military, much less use them as Sentry Guards. The Marines always look great; they are the best of the best. So as unusual as this was, we must keep in mind, this particular speech was full of hate and vitriol. It was completely partisan, and had in it a stern warning, not veiled, not subtle. “Conservatives who don’t get on board with us marxist progressives will now be considered enemies of the state” was the message. Nothing new but this time very open and clear. Hillary, Nancy, Adam have all basically proclaimed the same in the recent past but Joe Biden used the Marines to get across his message that conservatives will be treated like enemies of the state- that we are no different than terrorist. He and his friends plan to overturn the 2nd Amend and then they will show all of us what happens to their enemies.

More hate from the illiterate left who couldn’t run a vacuum cleaner, much less a country. Just look how far we’ve fallen under this Marxist administration! Disgraceful.

They can write all the letters they want. Nothing is going to change. Joe’s a moron, and so is the bulk of the demonRAT party.

While House Republicans might be “gravely concerned” about the speech, they are still in the minority, and cannot really do anything about it. Until a sufficient number of American voters become “gravely concerned” about how our government is being run right now, it is not likely we will see any sort of improvement. With over a third of those voters now registering as Independent, I wonder why there aren’t more decent third-Party candidates coming forth.

Biden did do a good job of plagiarizing Hitler – it was hard to distinguish between the two, other than one was in German. How disgusting.

Time to mobilize the voting public. This was a hate filed speech and those Marines were probably just assigned to their post and were just doing their jobs. Biden in my opinion did use them for political reasons, the Nazi red lighting, the valger words he used, the hate he projected were all devisive and aimed at the MAGA crowd as well as the rest of America that’s not on-board with his left wing socialist agenda.
He, by making this speech, threatened a large segment of the American population. This senile old man has lost it, along with the majority of his socialist democratic friends in Congress. We need to get out the VOTE this November, tell your friends to vote and vote for any Republican and if they have a new Republican candidate to replace their current swamp creature, vote them in. It’s time to change this country back to we the people. Enough said. Damn.
