The ACLU -- the American Civil Rights Union, supposedly -- is challenging Youngkin's optional masking order which... gives the right to choose masking, or choose not to mask, to Virginia citizens.

Or, as the Washington Post dysphemizes it (the opposite of euphemizes): "mandates choice."

Imposes freedom!

The ACLU is now against the imposition of burdensome freedom and dangerous rights.

For those keeping track, the ACLU is now fighting on behalf of schools -- government bodies -- to take away the rights of citizen parents and citizen students.

I mentioned that one Democrat Virginia Democrat Senator who said he'd vote with the Republicans to end the mask mandate if schools did not stop the nonsense.

I undersold it.

This guy is amazing and I don't know what he's doing in the Democrat Party.

Luke Rosiak:

A Virginia Democrat state senator had his "Joe Manchin moment" when, in a fiery letter to the Fairfax County Public Schools superintendent, he responded to the district's doubling down on what he called "Forced Masking of Children" by vowing to pass a law prohibiting it "in the coming days."
"It has become hard, if not impossible, to find a respected medical researcher who still defends Forced Masking of Children as a public safety measure," Sen. Chap Petersen wrote Monday. Petersen, a moderate Democrat from Fairfax City, serves in a state senate where Democrats have such a thin majority that, when he votes with Republicans, Republicans can pass legislation.
"The decision to wear a mask in public -- when there is so little correlation with public health -- makes it de facto a political decision. In other words, by wearing a mask in a public setting, the wearer is able to communicate a political message, e.g. "I Care About Others" or "I voted for Biden" ... You are forcing children to make a political statement that they (and their parents) may not believe. That violates the First Amendment," he wrote.
It was a remarkable example of an elected Democrat politician calling out a nominally nonpartisan schools chief for being more partisan than he is -- so partisan, in fact, that the superintendent was willing to implement what Petersen described as "inhumane" policies in service of political virtue signaling.

I took it out.

I took it out.

New York Governess and Always Unmasked Sextugenarian Kathy Hochul has extended the masking mandate for New York schools. The ACLU will not be challenging this executive order, because the ACLU is all about government power now.

Additional photos of huge ugly sack of comorbidities and Certified Professional Mooseknuckle Wrangler Stacy Abrams' visit to that mask mandate school were leaked to Clay Travis, and they show her unmasked, even when all the adults in the room are unmasked. I don't think she can use the excuse that she was "just holding her breath" for two or three hours. I somehow doubt she has the cardio fitness for that kind of feat.

A "fact" checker says that Joe Rogan shouldn't be allowed to speak because he doesn't have an independent board of review fact checking his statements before he says them.

When he's asked who fact checks his statements about science -- he's a non-scientist, of course; they all are -- before he blabbers them out on Twitter, he says... "I do."

I fact check myself.

I love it.

I'm sure there's a reason that Joe Rogan isn't qualified as this J-School Galileo to also "fact check" himself.

That asshole deleted his tweet quickly, by the way. But not quickly enough.

Lightbound taking shots at Trudeau:
"When it comes to the broader demonstrations we've seen in Ottawa and Quebec City and all across the country, I will abstain from the kind of generalizations that were heard these last few days," Quebec Liberal MP Joel Lightbound said.

LIGHTBOUND: "I've seen on Radio-Canada, an interview with what seemed to be a very kind grandmother who demonstrated for her grandkids. She looked & sounded nothing like white supremacists nor did the black, Sikh, indigenous Canadians I saw demonstrating on my way to parliament"
Taking aim at Trudeau again:
"I have enough respect for my fellow Canadians, not to engage in these easy absurd labels."
Liberal MP Joel Lightbound said at the beginning of his remarks that it is time for the protesters in Ottawa to leave and suggest they relocate somewhere else.
"It is time to stop dividing Canadians", he added.
He says he is not the only one feeling like this in his ranks.
Says during the last election campaign he began to feel uncomfortable with his party's (Liberal) tone and rhetoric.
"The division has gotten to a point it needs to stop."

Immediately the most franticly loyal members of the leftwing government -- the press -- attack Lightbound for his disloyatly:

Mackenzie Gray from CTV (Recently blocked me), says Lightbound sounds like Conservative interim leader Bergenand asks "why should Justin Trudeau keep you in the Liberal caucus?"
These journalists really are propagandists for Trudeau. I stand by my criticisms of Mackenzie Gray that got me blocked.
"I'm hopeful as well that there is room in the Liberal party for dissent", Liberal MP Joel Lightbound said.

A shot at the Laptop Class:

"Not everyone can earn a living on a Macbook at a cottage," Liberal MP Joel Lightbound said.

Here's another Canadian MP demanding an off-ramp to Justin Castreau's endless state of emergency and dictatorial powers.

And hope rises in the West: Sasketchewan Premiere Bob Moe (funny name) says he's ending all vaccine mandates.

Saskatchewan is lifting all of its pandemic public health orders in a phased approach that is to begin Monday with the removal of its COVID-19 vaccine passport policy.
At the end of the month, it also plans to end its indoor mask mandate and the requirement for people to self-isolate if they test positive for the virus.

Premier Scott Moe said Tuesday that providing proof of vaccination to enter businesses, including restaurants, had helped to fight the infection's spread.
But it also created deep divisions in the province, in effect "two classes of citizens," he said.
"The benefits of this policy no longer outweigh the costs," said Moe, who added people should be able to choose whether to get vaccinated.
"This government is going to respect that right."

The tyrants are falling.

But they'll go out viciously. Hurting as many people as they can.

They always do, as Tucker Carlson points out.

"From a positive and unifying approach, a decision was made to wedge, to divide, and to stigmatize. I fear that this politicization of the pandemic risks undermining the public's trust in our public health institutions."

I've heard from pediatricians in tears telling me about their young patients' despair, anxiety, isolation, as well as the stunning increase in school dropouts they are observing," said Lightbound.
"I've heard from artists who are on the brink of mental and financial collapse after two years, with barely enough work to get by. I've heard from social workers answering suicide hotlines, who are overwhelmed by the number of calls they're receiving. I've heard from entrepreneurs and restaurant owners who are contemplating losing what they've spent their whole lives building."
Lightbound went on to note examples of how COVID-19 health policies have had far-reaching consequences, such as some Canadians selling everything to move to the United States, presumably to enjoy a less restrictive environment, as well as teachers worried about schoolchildren reenacting segregation between vaccinated and unvaccinated kids in the schoolyard.

https://tinyurl.com/mr38n428

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the author of the best-selling book "The Real Anthony Fauci," an encyclopedic work that encompasses Big Pharma's meddling in public health and people's liberties.
Kennedy believes that the populace must resist a technocratic power grab, which is in its final stages of consolidation via a sinister medical cartel, if they don't want to end up under unprecedented levels of tyranny.
He asserts that an "arms race," is taking place: on one side, there is a group that is trying to implement "turnkey totalitarianism" through the utilization of technology.
"Facial recognition systems, pervasive 5G data collection systems, vaccine passports, digitalized currencies, and other technological devices that give authoritarian elements the capacity for total control of human behavior," Kennedy told The Epoch Times. "On one side we have an arms race to put those instrumentalities in place."
"And on the other side, we have our efforts to wake up and arouse the sleeping public,..."

No nuance, no grey area. Just listen to what we say and pay no attention to what we do. Also, do not ask any questions.

What Eisenhower said about that:

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central, it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocation, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet in holding scientific discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

Comedy gold in the Globe and Mail. They say the truckers are:
loons; absurd; hostage-takers;
white nationalists; intolerable; violent;
frightened; angry; vastly uninformed and disturbing.

Oh, and they are "almost routinely insulting."

Yeah, Only The Peace Bridge and Lewiston-Queenston do truck freight. Buffalo's the only split-port like that. Still easy for the truckers to split their forces. Even just blockading one of them will have the same effect as in Michigan, where blockading one overwhelms the other.

Aren't the mask nazis basically forcing the kids to be truant (not sure that's a word). But if so aren't they contributing to the delinquency of a minor, in each and every case?

This is one of the points about my nagging everyone to stock up this morning.

A lot of things depend on OTR deliveries that people don't commonly think about. Not just food, but also (to name some really important ones) - supplies needed to keep OTR traffic moving in general, water purification, and power generation.

In addition, the knock-on effects for container and rail traffic, bulk storage and processing of energy commodities, and logistics related to refrigerated/frozen goods (and their processing) can get very extreme, very quickly. We have spent decades making our civilization fragile and now the commies are rocking the boat as part of a larger strategy to gain and retain power. It's very likely they will fuck up, or someone else will throw in a wrench to fuck them up.

I want the laptop class, the urban elite swell, and the Karens to realize what happens when the people who make this country actually work, and know how to build things and do actual stuff, just stop for a while.

I would love to see Karen have to try to fend for herself a little bit.

331 Sault Ste Marie, Champlain and Thousand Islands are all bridges too. Bridges and more bridges.

When they temporarily blocked minor land crossings out west like Sweetgrass and Int'l Falls, it barely caused a ripple. Detroit, Port Huron and Buffalo are the big time for truck traffic.

333 that's why Brandon does not fuck with truckers , he knows what would happen

Posted by: runner

Brandon revoked the truckers essential service designation on Jan 21 requiring all truckers to be vaccinated entering the United States.
That's a minimal percentage of truckers, but, any American truckers that haul to Canada must be vaccinated to return to the States now.

336 >>> Nah, that's child's play. In the summers, the QEW backs up leading into The Peace Bridge, and the delays are hours (3-4) long. Passenger traffic will just turn around, and hit the Rainbow Bridge, or if they have NEXUS, the Whirlpool bridge.

They'll need to tie up approaches to ALL the bridges.
Posted by: browndog Official Mascot of Team Gizzard at February 08, 2022 07:36 PM (BgMrQ)

I could often match QEW speeds just taking local roads. I'd look over across to the QEW and see a semi truck that I saw earlier and now I'm caught up. Depends on the time and day and where.

If there is this supposed trucker shortage, then any American truckers who don't want to be vaxxed just need to stop going to Canada. There'll be more than enough work 100% inside the US.

Used to be that you could cross from Canada to the US (at The Peace Bridge) with virtually no delay. Of course this was back in the 1980s

Going into Canada the customs booths were manned by kids who worked at a golf club I belonged to...Ahh Mr. Browndog, playing golf today...carry on.

You could have smuggled anything you wanted into Canada back then.

359 ABC shrieks tonight: "Mitch McConnell to talk to Congressional Republicans divided over RNC censure resolution!"

Let that sink in. Mcconnell's staff actually contacted ABC to suggest this- that's how these things get into the press. His staff leaked that their boss is going to somehow talk Republican congressional candidates this fall that they need to go back to their constituents and tell them that Lynn Cheney's future is their real concern.

The man is finished if this is really the leak his staff is giving to MSM - or he is a buffoon. A lot of time you think if you're McConnell, I hold all the money! But this time, the money you hold is worthless...this must be the case, otherwise you would never, ever be hearing about this ABC.
