Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, February 24, 2026

Dozens of Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union on Tuesday, as many opt to hold nearby counterprogramming rather than signs of protests like those seen within the House chamber in recent years.

My Rep, Ro Khanna invites a woman that recruited young girls for Epstein. FFS .....

I am honored to bring Haley Robson, a survivor of Epstein's abuse, as my guest to Trump's State of the Union. Their courage moved a nation. I am appalled by those smearing her instead of calling for justice against predators. We will not rest until the survivors get justice.

Predators turn victims into recruiters, quite often they are double-victims actually; they usually don't start out as recruiters.

Of course, Chinaboy knows best, right?

Any opportunity to troll liberals, who are obviously not as wise as is he, is a good one to him, no matter how crude and ignorant his post about the Surviving Victims may be.

There will be a group of them there; some of the same ones that Bondi refused to acknowledge at her Hearing, and who at the Hearing made clear that the FBI would not even return their phone calls.

OpEd: Democrats shouldn't sit on their hands during the State of the Union
www.ms.now

... When President Donald Trump delivers the first official State of the Union address of his second term, many top Democratic leaders want the focus to remain on him.

With Trump's agenda either faltering or sparking a backlash, they are following a familiar Washington principle that when your enemy is drowning, you don't give them a hand.

I have spoken with members of Congress, senior Democratic strategists and outside organizers about how Democratic members of Congress should react during the big speech. ...

If Trump stands in the well of the House and gives his usual mix of false statements, self-aggrandizement and bizarre asides, they think that will just remind voters why they aren't happy with him right now. Why give him a foil?

The logic is not unserious. But it is incomplete. ...

Yeah, he'll try to be on his best behaviour, but that's hard werk when you King.

Not distracting from him being what has given him 60 percent negative Polling is prolly the best idea. Perhaps just quoting him would do more damage.

There is not enough money in the world, enough hot chicks seducing me, not enough bjs from fine lipped women to get me to watch this man ramble and whine for 90 minutes

I'd rather shave my head with a cheese grater while chewing on tin foil.

Not a victim according to her..... but thanks for supporting the rapist Epstein.....

Why is Haley Robson lying? Recently she says Jeffree touched her and she only recruited 8 girls. Bullshit. Listen to an earlier interview where she says Jeffree never touched her and that she recruited more than 24 girls!!!

Then why walk out and create such a media circus?

I'm wondering if he will be able to stick to the script, of if he will wander off into 5D-chess-land with a ~weave.~

From what I've heard, the WH has informed the networks that the SOTU may go past an hour in length.

Who are Dani Bensky and Haley Robson? Epstein survivors to attend State of the Union
At least six House Democrats have invited Jeffrey Epstein survivors to attend Trump's State of the Union.

"When asked about why he had selected Robson as his guest on Tuesday, Khanna's office referred Fox News Digital to an online statement.

"Haley Robson was 16 years old when she survived Epstein's abuse. This campaign to malign her and the other survivors on the night of the State of the Union is shameful. Attack me all you want. Do not attack the survivors," Khanna said.

"I am honored to bring [her] as my guest to Trump's State of the Union. Their courage moved a nation."

Live fact-checking Trump's 2026 State of the Union address

Even before his speech, Trump claimed he has already delivered on all of his campaign promises. An analysis from PolitiFact found that, while 19% of those pledges have been fulfilled, many more remain stalled or even broken.

During the president's speech, our partners at PolitiFact will be providing live fact-checking in the chat below.
