The government shutdown prompted Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Trump to exchange insults in letters they sent about the scheduled State of the Union address that was initially scheduled for January 29. After the exchanges, the President agreed to wait until after the government shutdown had ended.
Now that it’s temporarily ended, Pelosi has stated it still isn’t going to happen as originally scheduled.

My Take
There has been no response to this development from the President. On Twitter, he’s more concerned about the border wall and distancing his 2016 campaign from Roger Stone.
But that doesn’t mean he’s not crafting a response for after the weekend. There isn’t a lot of time – in less than three weeks, the government will shut down again unless a deal can be made. Assuming it doesn’t get made, Pelosi has an opportunity to let the President speak and to offer a rebuttal, but she may not take that opportunity. Instead, she may try to keep the President off the airwaves, but that’s not going to happen.
One way or another, we can expect the President to take to national television before the end of the temporary shutdown to make his case for the border wall. Pelosi would be making a mistake if she doesn’t let it happen in her House.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
