Granted, I haven’t live in DC since the 80s, but at that time the Beltway was kinda useless for getting around. It was always under construction somewhere and constricted; the city outgrew it long ago and most denizens have two or three alternative routes to anywhere they want to go.

This isn’t Ottawa.

Whether it is planned or not, just by the timing of Omicron fading and various local and regional NPIs being relaxed recently and in the immediate future, it is likely the members and observers of the “Freedom Convoy” may feel they have achieved success.

Soooo, if anyone thought they'd be truckin' from Oregon on I-84, they can forget that noise.
Update from ODOT as of 2:45pm
I-84 is closed eastbound and westbound to all traffic in eastern Oregon. Eastbound is closed between Exit 216 (six miles east of Pendleton) and Exit 265 (La Grande). Westbound is closed to between Exit 374 (Ontario) and Exit 216. The closures are due to multiple vehicle crashes near milepost 230. The westbound freeway is closed at Ontario due to limited parking space in Baker City and La Grande. Local traffic may be able to access the westbound freeway between Ontario and Baker City to get home (check for more information by clicking the closure icon on TripCheck.com). This is expected to be an extended closure lasting all night for westbound freeway and several hours for eastbound freeway. OR 204 (Tollgate Highway) and OR 245 are also closed to all but local traffic. These are not viable detour routes for freeway traffic.

Not sure why, but I put myself through about 20 minutes of Tucker as he ranted about the MEAN MEAN MEAN TYRANNICAL Canadian Government in cracking down to get these aholes off the street and go home. Such outrage over police overreach and general meanness by picking on these poor peaceful protesters.

So I flash back to the 2020 protests over the George Floyd killing and all those protesters that so OUTRAGED the folks at Fox and why didn't someone step in to enforce and break this stuff up? Portland? Where was the National Guard? Seattle? Where was Mayor Jenny and getting the police in to break up the Chop Zone?

Why is it OK to demand officials for one party to enforce the rules, but such outrage when it's not on their message?

Indeed. We should prolly rename the pass to Little Ottawa instead of Deadmans Pass and Cabbage Hill.

I don't know if they got that cleaned up or not, but considering that we got snow up here, I'd say it's a safe bet that 84 got some more too.

I mean, I'm sure I'm coming in late with this one since it was a long day at work, but if these people believed in equalizing *anything*, they wouldn't be who they are.

As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Doubtful we'd be lucky enough for public comment, but there have been rumors a staging area has been set up near an overpass on I-44 near Miami, Oklahoma. All we know so far is that there are donut crumbs and Pupperoni wrappers reported all over.

Good ole' Miami Oklahoma. Back in the day, when I was a teen living in KCMO, that's where all the kids ran off to elope.

Emergency over. Dunno if that means they are releasing bank accounts though.

The Outrage grifters like Ezra Levant are weeping and projecting. Tried to reassure them they'll find a new shiny object for the marks.






Dead-enders are finding any possible excuses vs. the truth.

Have to have license plates, because they were revoked when the vehicle was towed. Have to have certified check, but bank accounts are frozen.
