President Joe Biden will use his address on the state of the union on Tuesday to say that the president Vladimir Putin underestimated NATO and the way the world will unite against its invasion of Ukraine.

“Putin’s war was deliberate and unprovoked. He rejected the efforts of diplomacy “, he will say, according to excerpts published by the White House.

“He thought the West and NATO would not respond. And he thought he could separate us here at home.

“Putin was wrong. We were ready.

With the spotlight on him, Biden will call Russia’s leader a dictator and say he is paying the price for his aggression.

“Throughout our history, we have learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They are still moving, “he said, according to excerpts from the White House.

“And the costs and threats to America and the world continue to rise.

“That is why the NATO Alliance was created to ensure peace and stability in post-World War II Europe. The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.

‘It matters. American diplomacy matters.

As Ukraine fights the Russian invaders for a sixth day, Biden will blow the trumpet for a united response from the Allies, who have imposed broad sanctions and maintained the flow of arms to Kyiv.

With the spotlight on him, President Biden will use his speech on the state of the Union to call Russia’s leader a dictator and say he is paying the price for his aggression, according to White House clippings.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Vladimir Green called the president Joe Biden to convey a strong message.

“It’s very serious … I’m not in a movie,” Zelenski, a former comedian, said in an interview at his command bunker.

“I am not emblematic, I think Ukraine is emblematic … Ukraine is the heart of Europe and now I think Europe sees that Ukraine is something special for this world. that’s why [the] the world cannot lose this special thing.

He said he wanted a strong and “useful” message for Russia invasion of Ukraine from the President of the United States, and later tweeted that he spoke to Biden on the phone.

The White House confirmed their conversation and said they had spoken for more than 30 minutes.

Biden tweeted: “I have just spoken to President Zelensky to discuss our continued support for Ukraine – including security and humanitarian aid – as it defends itself against Russian aggression.

“We will hold Russia accountable and our sanctions are already having a devastating effect.”

One of the leading investigators investigating Susan Morphy’s disappearance said her husband’s arrest for her murder was “premature”, according to new court documents.

Susan Barry’s husband, 53, was arrested last May on suspicion of murder after a year-long search for his wife, Susan, 49, who disappeared from their home on Mother’s Day 2020. Her body was never found, but police say that she was most likely dead because she had not been heard from since.

Barry denies the allegations and has presented court documents to dismiss the “outrageous government behavior” case, claiming that the former Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Joseph Cahill himself said that Barry was “premature” only four months ago, in December 2021.

Defenders write in court documents received from 9 news, that Cahill “said the case was not nearly ready for anyone to move the case forward” when he was interviewed by the police on December 2 for accidentally firing his weapon while out of work and at home.

They also said in documents released Tuesday that Cahill and his partner, Agent Derek Graham, had expressed concern about their superiors’ case, but were ultimately ignored.

And, they claim, prosecutors withheld “exculpatory evidence” from the court during the preliminary hearing, accusing Barry of killing Susan. Further details on what that evidence is have yet to be shared, although the defense previously accused prosecutors of missing DNA evidence from the discovery.

If this evidence had been available at the time, Barry’s attorneys, Iris Eaton and Hollis Whitson, “it is certain that the probable cause would not have been found.”

Barry Morphy, seen entering court with his two older daughters in December, is trying to drop the charges against him, with his lawyers claiming that the former had doubts about his arrest.

Morphy is accused of killing his wife, Susan, right, who went missing on Mother’s Day in 2020. Her body was never found.

Court documents state that Cahill has repeatedly expressed concern over the arrest of Barry Morphy one year after Susan’s disappearance on May 10, 2020.

He reportedly told the Home Affairs Investigator that after putting the case together for a year, he had seen “frame erosion” while in school and out of the case from March to May 2021. KDVR reports.

The report says that on August 24, 2021, during the testimony of the preliminary hearing, Cahill claimed to have read only nine pages of the sworn testimony of Morphew’s arrest. Then the Interior Ministry demanded a revision of the oath declarations, documents show.

However, the interior claims that numerous requests were made to Cahill to revise the oath declarations between August 24, 2021 and January 25, 2022.

When Cahill and Graham’s supervisors, CBI Deputy Director Chris Schaefer and Agent Kemper spoke to Chafi County Sheriff John Speze about their concerns, Barry’s lawyers said they were ultimately ignored.

‘Mr. Cahill said Sheriff Spec had not heeded the CBI’s advice or opinions and had arrested Mr Morphew, according to court documents released Tuesday.

‘Mr. Cahill summed it up, saying “it’s what it is.”

In rebuttal of the complaint, prosecutors described the call for the case and trial to be dropped as “complete nonsense”, saying Cahill was “completely discredited”.

Prosecutors say they have created tens of thousands of pages of revelations and hours of video, and say the defense “has stopped trying to consult with people because their last request for disclosure was made directly to the court.”

Morphy was arrested last May, a year after Susanne disappeared

Authorities say Barry killed Susan (pictured) with an arrow pistol full of animal tranquilizers

Prosecutors said Barry killed his wife with an animal tranquilizer after investigators found an arrow gun near the place where she went missing.

They claim that the animal tranquilizer killed Susanne and that Barry covered his tracks by dumping her body – probably in the remote Garfield mine – and point to his phone being put into airplane repeatedly over the weekend of May 9 and 10 as evidence. .

According to court documents, CBI officials have expressed concern about the arrest of Barry with Chafi County Sheriff John Spese, who “did not listen to the advice or opinions of the CBI.”

Prosecutors also noted that he left a hotel room at the Holiday Inn in Broomfield, Colorado, smelling of chlorine – a development first reported by DailyMail.com in September 2020.

But Barry’s defenders say that when investigators found the rifle, it was out of order and had not been used for a long time.

They also allege that investigators deliberately omitted evidence of DNA belonging to an alleged sex offender found in Susan Morphy’s motorcycle, helmet, car and sheets.

Barry’s lawyers have now called on the director of the CBI, the deputy director of the CBI and the head of the CBI’s major crime department to appear in court this Friday for a hearing before the trial against him begins on April 28.

Earlier, they announced that they were filing a civil case against 26 people connected to the Chafi Police Department, the 11th District Attorney’s Office, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the FBI for intentional omission of evidence.

Earlier, Bari’s defense team filed a lawsuit against 26 people in the investigation and prosecution of the case, claiming that they deliberately with detained evidence found at the crime scene

But Cahill’s reputation has been called into question in recent months.

He resigned from the CBI in December amid an interior investigation into the accidental firing of a gun while out of service and at his own home. As a result, Cahill received a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the arm.

John Kemper, the director of the CBI, called Cahill’s actions with regard to his service weapon “negligent or unwise” afterwards, and a note from the Interior received from 9 News states that Morpheus lied to investigators investigating the incident.

“I find that he deliberately misled his statements,” the December 14 interior document said. “In fact, I’m more worried about what he was doing to support the lie.

Eventually, the interior found that Cahill was trying to remove the gun lamp he had bought from his CBI-issued weapon because he planned to resign that day.

They said he bought a new pistol lamp in an attempt to cover up his lie when he was interviewed by another CBI agent, and before admitting the truth, “Cahill initially lied four times after being specifically asked when he bought the new lamp. for a pistol before the correction. ‘

A group of Republican lawmakers accepted Americans Capitol on Tuesday to hold their own event on the state of the Union, where they said Joe BidenThe address later in the evening will not give a true picture of the difficult situations facing the United States

The event, dubbed by the organizers as the “true state of the Union”, was led by the first three Republicans in the House of Representatives: minority leader Kevin McCarthy, minority whip Steve Scaliz and GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanick.

The event took place hours before President Biden took the stage for his first address on the state of the Union at the Capitol Building on Tuesday at 9 p.m.

There were eight other “concerned Americans” who were invited to attend as guest speakers, who then asked lawmakers what they would do if Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives in 2022.

Among the guests presented were a mother who lost her son to an overdose of fentanyl, a border agent who expressed how difficult it is to hire and maintain security during the ongoing crisis, and an Illinois high school student who spoke out against school closures and a mask of his governor mandate.

When the event kicked off, McCarthy praised the fact that the mask mandate had expired and that they could return outside guests to the Capitol. Representative Hearn later called the rules “arbitrary” while tearing up Mayor Muriel Bowser to implement mandates one day, not the next.

DailyMail.com did not see any of the legislators, employees, participants or members of the media wearing face coverage, as DC eased its requirement for indoor masks.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 81, said on Tuesday that she would not hide from Biden’s remarks about the state of the Union, although she was at high risk due to her age.

“People need to use their judgment,” Pelosi told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

One guest, Eric Flannery, co-owns a DC-based restaurant called Big Board, which was closed by Bowser because he would not impose mask and vaccine mandates on his staff and guests.

Hearn, who co-chairs the small business group and was a businessman before being elected to Congress, suffocated as he spoke to Flannery in front of other guests and lawmakers.

Flannery’s alcohol license was revoked after he opposed Bowser’s mandates, which were implemented in January and no longer exist. He said there was no way to appeal decisions during the ongoing “state of emergency” in the nation’s capital.

DC is a low-transmitting area, which means that according to new CDC standards, people are no longer required to wear masks indoors.

McCarthy said Biden would deliver “what he believes is the state of the Union”, but said he and other Republicans attending the event earlier in the day had “the true state of the Union”.

The event was attended by several GOP MPs who answered questions from “ordinary” Americans about what they would do to solve the problems if they regained a majority in the House of Representatives in 2022.

One of those present was Christy Diroff (pictured), a mother who lost her son to an accidental fentanyl overdose after he became addicted to painkillers after a sports injury.

“My servers are not second-class citizens,” Flannery said Tuesday as he spoke out against the mandates he was told to impose.

Several guests were also outraged by the southern border crisis and how the left treats border and law enforcement officials.

Speaking to the audience, Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), said: “Under this administration, we are destroyed. Morality is the lowest we have ever seen.

He explained that it is difficult to recruit and detain people to guard the southern border when there is a feeling that there is no support from Washington.

Although the event at the Republican City Hall was scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m., it did not begin until 2:35 p.m., as members had to vote on a bill that addresses veterans’ disabilities and health benefits.

McCarthy said Biden would provide “what he sees as the state of the Union,” but said he and other Republicans attending the event earlier in the day had “the true state of the Union.”

National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd said “morale is the lowest we’ve ever seen” and explained that it is difficult to hire and detain border agents

Republican lawmakers and their guests complained during Tuesday’s event of rising crime in US cities, the southern border crisis, continued restrictions on COVID-19 in schools and businesses, additional educational issues and an economic catastrophe with 7.5 percent inflation and blocking the supply chain.

Ohio Congressman Jordan said, “I hope Joe Biden goes there tonight and says, ‘I’m going to reverse any stupid politics I have.’ I don’t think he will do that because his party is controlled … but [far] to the left. ‘

Amid growing economic concerns among Republicans and the general American public, a New York Times report revealed Monday night that Biden is expected to seek credit during Tuesday night’s address for a stable economy.

He is also expected to take credit for the massive global response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine last week.

Biden originally planned to deliver a speech focusing on internal issues, such as the steps to end the pandemic and the failure to accept his Build Back Better plan. But the conflict in Ukraine has shifted its focus to foreign policy.
