State of the Union: then and now

In the aftermath of the SOTU speech yesterday evening (some are reporting it as a comedy routine), A.F. Branco's cartoon about "the good ol' days" seems apropos:

SOTU: Must Miss Television UPDATED WITH LINKS

 



White House Occupant Biden’s “State of the Union” speech
is this evening, March 1 at 9pm ET.

UPDATE:  As of 8:55pm, Vodkapundit has not yet posted a drunk-blogging link.  If he decides to not drunk-blog Biden’s first SOTU address, it would be understandable. 

The link is up!! Stephen Green’s [Mr. Vodkapundit] watches, so you don’t have to.  It is less painful to access the proceedings via live DrunkBlogging at PJ Media here.   If you really want to tune in to the broadcast online, Conservative Treehouse has the link here.

The Government From Hell

 



David Solway at PJ Media is writing about Canada, but his words apply to America today as well:

. . . The fact is that the government from hell is working to transform a democratic nation into a police state and normalize totalitarian rule without having to mobilize the military and scramble its jet fighters. It moves subtly, insidiously, through legislation, decree, deception, legal subterfuge, financial penalties, and targeted defamation. It divides a country into sectarian belligerents, employs tested techniques of misinformation and disinformation, prevents the free expression of opinion (Bill C-11), and impoverishes and segregates its perceived adversaries. It manipulates a strategy of covert control which, in the long run, may be more effective than overt physical repression. It doesn’t need tanks; a few RCMP horses will do. Slander and sanctimony are excellent weapons.

The truckers were never a menace, bore no resemblance to the volley of epithets hurled against them: white supremacists, racists, misogynists, antisemites, and the like. A Liberal MP is convinced that “honk honk” is code for “Heil Hitler.” Reviewing Paul Gottfried’s must-read Antifascism: The Course of a Crusade in American Greatness, Christopher Zeeman writes, “Organizing a state around a nonexistent threat is a novel approach to governing…the lack of proof is confirmation that they must redouble their efforts to thwart the threat”—a threat, be it said, not to the nation but to the impious power of the managerial elect. In other words, our political elites must conjure their enemies in order to maintain their own compromised existence. The dumbing down of a supine population, still wearing their badges of conformity across their faces, completes the task.

Of course, as noted, there will be the inevitable casualties. The truckers who protested the draconian and useless vaccine mandates have been crushed and their lives ruined. And the majority of Canadians do not care. Some believe the truckers got what they deserved, gloating over the misfortune of their betters. Others do not give them a second thought. The feeble-minded claim to be suffering from “phantom honking.” Some hover over the top like a helicopter pilot surveying rush hour traffic and move on: nothing very significant to see here. Their sympathies go out to the Ukrainian victims of Russian aggression. The victims of government oppression in their own country are an afterthought. Stupefying indifference to the fate of their nation is the order of the day. The government from hell remains solidly entrenched. . . .

Mr. Solway’s entire column is here.

National Vaccine Pass Rolled Out

 



A guest post by Hailey Sanibel of Blue State Conservative has been published at 100percentfedup.com:

“A National Vaccine Pass Has Quietly Rolled Out”
 Including In Several Red States

Despite predictable rollbacks to federal, state, and local mandates in the wake of trucker convoys and deflating poll numbers for Democrats, there has nevertheless been a quiet effort to institute questionable technology with devastating future consequences.

The obvious and concerning question ought to be: If Covid is going away (and it is, for all intents and purposes), then why are we just now introducing and implementing QR-code technology that can house one’s vaccination status? The article eerily answers that question in a way that should alert everyone’s Spidey senses.

The propaganda from Forbes ran with the headline “A National Vaccine Pass Has Quietly Rolled Out – And Red States Are Getting On Board” . . .

. . .

Although the article is big on positives, not mentioned anywhere are the drawbacks. I’ll just name one: Loss of freedom. Does anyone need more proof that this tool could be weaponized so fast against what is deemed as noncompliance and nonconformists? As everything becomes digitized (always for our convenience, we are told), what would it take to have to scan in to dine out? To get groceries? To go to the bank? To apply for a job? To deposit a mobile check? To enter an emergency room? To file taxes or to qualify for your tax refund?

I have a different idea: No medical records of any kind need to be shown. Ever. Let’s start there.

Full article at 100percentfedup is here.  How many Americans are pushing back?  Most of us can push back – unless we need to be seen at the hospital. Then what?

The People’s Convoy: now 15-miles long

 


100percentfedup has the report on the California-to-DC truckers’ The People’s Convoy:

When over 50K truckers joined the Freedom convoy in Canada, Americans cheered them on as they made their trek to Ottawa and other strategic destinations to fight for freedom from COVID restrictions and mandates.

Now, the American truckers are picking up the torch of freedom from the Canadians and are carrying it from CA to Washington DC where they will park their rigs on March 4th and take a stand against COVID mandates and restrictions in America.

Independent reporter John Spiropolous is traveling with The People’s Convoy and sharing ground reports along the route.

According to the Last Refuge – John has reported today the convoy is gathering participants along the route and now encompasses approximately 15 miles of trucks. . . . The overpasses along the route are filled with cheering supporters.

More here, including a really cool Rumble video of the convoy.  The map and itinerary show that the closest the convoy will get to northern Ohio is south of Canton, east of Columbus:

  • Day 9: Thursday, March 3
  • Morning – Depart Indianapolis, IN area
  • Evening – Arrive in Cambridge, OH area for overnight stay

Share this report of the US Freedom / People's Convoy with your family and friends; as usual, the mainstream media is pretty much ignoring it. 

There are evidently several convoys, most of them converging in the greater DC/Maryland area.  The one originating in Cleveland is on March 6.  These are the details posted so far at the website:

Ohio to Washington DC Area: Cleveland

We are launching a cross-country convoy from Ohio to the Washington DC area. Join the convoy at the closest junction near you! Remember, if you can't make the cross- country journey you can always join with the convoy as it comes through your city/town.

  • Convoy Launch
  • Date: March 6th
  • Cleveland Rt. 76 or 79
  • Follow down to 76, to 70, 66, 66 into final destinations
  • Distance: 374 Miles
  • Time: 5 Hours 52 Minutes
  • All day

No information on time(s) of day yet.  Updates to follow when available.
