Monday Starts an Excellent Week for President Trump Tomorrow night, President Trump delivers his third State of the Union Address. “He’ll quite rightly be able to declare the nation is strong — with solid economic growth and jobs for all who want them and a Dow more than 50 percent higher than when he won the White House. Not to mention a new North American trade agreement just as candidate Trump promised, China desperate to end the trade war and America’s NATO allies paying much more of their fair share for collective defense.” Click here to read more.

“Here's the reality. By most traditional measures, the economy is stronger than it's been in over three decades, especially where job creation is concerned . . . More people are working, and because real wages are rising, they have the ‘hope,’ finally, that Obama promised but found so hard to deliver,” Pete Roff writes for Newsweek.

“In his opening statement at trial, [Rep. Adam] Schiff revealed his real reason for needing an impeachment do-over. He accused the president in advance of cheating in the 2020 election and suggested that Americans would be manipulated and make the wrong decision at the ballot box. So much for the will of the people,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) writes in USA Today.

Army veteran Tony Rankins will be a guest of President Trump and the First Lady at tomorrow night’s State of the Union. Rankins is a recovering drug user who now works in construction in a Cincinnati “opportunity zone,” which are low-income areas that receive tax advantages to spur investment. Opportunity zones were created by President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts law, Jason Williams reports for the Cincinnati Enquirer.
