President Joe Biden was captured in an unexpected moment as he departed a joint session of Congress on Tuesday after his stirring State of the Union speech. Something unusual was mentioned with Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey during this conversation, and it has since captured the interest of many Americans.

The senator from New Jersey heard the president’s words “Bob, I gotta to talk to you about Cuba.”
Senator said a simple “OK” to indicate his shock.
In the footage that attracted the attention of Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio, the president added, “I’m serious.”
“It looks like Biden wants to talk to someone about #Cuba,” the senator said.
Sen. Menendez of New Jersey has taken a staunchly anti-Cuba position and has often clashed with the Biden administration, placing his personal convictions at conflict with established national policy.
When President Biden loosened limits on group visits to Cuba in May 2022, Sen. Menendez took a rare step of defiance, as The New Jersey Globe reported.
“I am dismayed to learn the Biden administration will begin authorizing group travel to Cuba through visits akin to tourism,” he said. “To be clear, those who still believe that increasing travel will breed democracy in Cuba are simply in a state of denial. For decades, the world has been traveling to Cuba and nothing has changed.”
“From Tehran to Havana to Pyongyang, history shows us negotiations based on unilateral concessions have a failed track record of producing actual changes to the behavior of authoritarian regimes,” he said. “Giving Maduro a handful of undeserved handouts just so his regime will promise to sit down at a negotiating table is a strategy destined to fail.”
Tuesday night’s second State of the Union speech was received with an unprecedented degree of hostility since four justices of the Supreme Court were not there. According to estimates released on Wednesday, there was a greater percentage of absenteeism than during previous presidents’ addresses.
Distinguished Justices John Roberts, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson were present as the President began his statement. Although Neil Gorsuch, Sam Alito, and Sonia Sotomayor were present, Justice Clarence Thomas was not.
There is still some mystery about why they chose to skip the State of the Union speech, despite the fact that the reasons are still unknown.
“The story of America is a story of progress and resilience,” Brown Jackson, who he nominated, was acknowledged by Biden before he began. “Of always moving forward. Of never giving up. A story that is unique among all nations. We are the only country that has emerged from every crisis stronger than when we entered it. That is what we are doing again.”
The Biden administration has recently voiced its opposition to a court decision that tries to overturn Roe v. Wade and deny women throughout the nation the ability to make their own healthcare choices.
President Biden criticized the Supreme Court’s present involvement in politics at a virtual fundraiser for Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, saying the court had become into a “more of an advocacy group these days,” rather of a bench exclusively dedicated to justice and fairness.
“I view this off-year election as one of the most important elections that I’ve been engaged in because a lot can change because the institutions have changed,” he said. “The Supreme Court is more of an advocacy group these days than it is… evenhanded about it.”
Last summer, when Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Biden administration, protests in support of reproductive rights erupted in front of justices’ homes in all 50 states, drawing vehement condemnation from a number of state governors.
The Governors of Maryland and Virginia accepted a request from their highest-ranking security officer to use state law enforcement resources to guarantee ongoing safety in light of recent demonstrations outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices.
“The governor agrees with the Marshal that the threatening activity outside the Justices’ homes has increased,” In response to a letter from Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley requesting that the governor “enforce state law” barring picketing outside the houses of the justices, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin spokeswoman Christian Martinez stated, according to Fox News.
“He welcomes the Marshal of the Supreme Court’s request for Fairfax County to enforce state law as they are the primary enforcement authority for the state statute,” the statement continued.
However, Youngkin himself requested Merrick Garland, the US Attorney General, to “do his job” by “enforcing the much more robust federal law.”
“Every resource of federal law enforcement, including the U.S. Marshals, should be involved while the Justices continue to be denied the right to live peacefully in their homes,” the GOP governor added.
Most TREASONOUS administration Ever. Probably laundering money from Cuba too. Wouldn’t surprise me. Just like Ukraine.
