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.

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.

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?

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