    ... if you constantly link to fringe right wing websites you always get bad information.
    The headline lists in as the State of the Union address. A matter of semantics. The Democrats in the White house are now saying that a President's first speech to a Joint Session of Congress is traditionally called a Joint Address. First time I have ever heard it referred to by that terminology. For every President since I was a toddler it has been called the President's first State of the Union address to congress. The phrase Joint Address is not anywhere in The US Constitution. However:
    Article. II. - The Executive Branch

    Section 3 - State of the Union, Convening Congress

    He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,
    and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and
    expedient

    Your lack of knowledge and understanding of
    The US Constitution has caused you to stick your foot in your mouth, again. Heritage Foundation and Hillsdale College offer free online courses. Maybe you need to get some learning.

      You are so busy trying to prove me wrong, you cannot do a simple Google search to see that I am correct?

      The (Not) State of the Union: Why Joe Biden's speech is not officially the annual address


      State of the Union: Why Joe Biden speech isn't called that in 2021



      Wednesday night will mark the first time President Joe Biden speaks in front of both houses of Congress as he approaches his 100th day in office.

      While Biden's speech on the Congress floor will seem like the State of the Union, it actually is not.

      The practice of addressing a joint session of Congress comes straight from Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, which states the president, "shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."

      The annual address is typically delivered by the president in late January or early February, with the last one given by former President Donald Trump on Feb. 4, 2020.


      Since the inauguration of former President Ronald Reagan in 1981, presidents have not delivered the State of the Union the year they left office or were inaugurated, primarily because a president can't really speak about the state of the country just a few weeks in office.

      Fact check:No deadline is in place for delivering State of the Union


      That same year is when the new tradition began where the new president addressed Congress without the State of the Union title, like Trump's “Address Before a Joint Session of the Congress" in 2017.

      Biden's address comes a few months into his term due to COVID-19 precautions, and only after he accepted an invitation from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on April 13. Wednesday's speech allows Biden to speak on the progress of his administration in his first nearly 100 days in office.

      .... you should put your efforts into convincing your friends to get the COVID vaccine.

        To prove you wrong takes minimal effort and can usually be wrapped up in a couple of minutes. Getting you to admit that you're wrong is the hard part. Your blind spot is that you're beholden to the liberal playbook.

                    Ford & BMW Bank On Solid-State Batteries
                    Ford and BMW bank on solid-state batteries to power a new generation of longer-range, faster-charging, lower-costing electric vehicles.

                    Published 5 hours ago
                    Right around this time last year everybody was suddenly talking up solid state battery technology as if it was the key to ushering in whole a new generation of electric vehicles with longer range, faster charging times, and a lower sticker price, all of which would send gasmobiles spinning into the junkyard of automotive history. Well, talk is cheap. Then again, money talks, and right now, both Ford and BMW have something to say with a new $130 million Series B investment round in the solid-state battery firm Solid Power.

                      They are afraid that if that don't the Biden administration will weaponize the IRS and they will come under constant IRS audit scrutiny just like the Obama/Biden administration did against Conservative /Republican PACs and their contributors.

                        Media outlets are trying really hard to keep Trump and his acolytes in the news, but with a Democratic administration comes a focus on what the party in power is doing. At This Rate, 2022 Could Be a Bloodbath for Democrats – RedState

                                You should be more worried about the thoroughly brain washing you have been given by media outlets such as CNN. Your brain has been so thoroughly laundered that you can no longer recognize the truth.
