The real question as the undercooked psychological escapade got underway was whether there was a narrative behind the toe-curling language.

Reynolds largely spoke about domestic matters, but chastised Biden for a “too little, too late” foreign policy approach while applauding Ukraine’s anti-Russian resistance. In her Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said Tuesday night that he is bringing the country back to a time when the Soviet Union was threatening its borders and Americans were suffering from high inflation. “It feels like President Biden and his party have sent us back in time — to the late ’70s and early ’80s, when runaway inflation was hammering families, a violent crime wave…
