After pumping him full of enough drugs to ward off sundowner syndrome, tonight Biden’s handlers will prop him up in front of the teleprompters to give the State of the Union Address. Since we already know the state of our union under the current administration, only those who can’t help peering through their fingers at horrific car crashes are likely to tune in.

As an alternative, we can watch the SOTU John Stossel would rather see than the one we will get tonight:

He forgot to mention what we should do with those troops if we are going to bring them home: put them on the southern border with orders to destroy anything that tries to cross it in violation of our law. The ongoing invasion of the USA, not only permitted but aided and abetted by the treasonous Biden Administration, will have far more serious historical consequences than Russia’s incursion into Ukraine.

Steven Crowder has hit his stride, amassing a huge audience with his humor-infused brand of countermoonbattery, which includes legitimate journalism of the type the MSM often avoids. Fellow truthteller John Stossel was a major influence.

We know Crowder is hitting home because the leftist Big Tech thought police have been trying to silence him. He has earned a distinction far more honorable than the Pulitzer Prize by getting demonetized by YouTube.

Stossel defends Crowder against the information gatekeepers:

Now that John Brennan has fingered libertarians as potential Enemies of the State who should be investigated by federal intelligence agencies, we had better listen to what John Stossel has to say before people like him start disappearing. Here he sounds off on COVID-19 hypocrites displaying the Do As I Say Not As I Do mentality characteristic of authoritarian liberals:

The bigger Big Government gets, the more unjust the tyranny will be.

The gloves are off, and so is the mask. It would be hard to survive 2020 without knowing that the “mainstream” news media provides propaganda, not objective information. John Stossel and Joe Concha cover a few of the ways the MSM has made this obvious:

1. Whitewashing Black Lives Matter violence

2. Distorting stories to attack Trump

3. Fact-checking only Republicans

4. Overtly trying to drag Biden over the finish line

5. Asking candidates starkly different questions

People cut from the same cloth as Obama’s CIA director John Brennan will now take full control of the vast federal apparatus. They will use it to persecute people they regard as threatening. Libertarians, for example:

Rest easy. John Stossel will no longer menace America with Democrats in charge.

“Racists” who have failed to embrace the Black Lives Matter agenda, “bigots” who don’t want sexually disturbed boys watching their teenaged daughters shower, and “nativists” who want their country defended from foreign invasion will be investigated too.

John Stossel observes that all major companies require employees to undergo indoctrination in cultural Marxism — a.k.a. diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Utopia has been achieved; we now live in a climate of totalitarian political correctness. It isn’t working as promised:

For the $billions per year thrown at irritating DEI moonbattery, the return on investment would be negative — if liberal social engineers really wanted to help blacks and reduce racism. Actually, they deliberately keep down blacks and create racial resentment where it didn’t exist, because the ideology of our degenerate ruling class requires an underclass of floundering losers righteously oppressed by the alleged racism of the white middle class.

That pernicious ideology needs to be rejected in favor of EMC (equality [as opposed to equity], merit, colorblindness).

Here’s someone who gets what DEI and Critical Race Theory have been doing to blacks:

Among the many things we have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving are the pilgrims who made the holiday possible by serving as the foundation stone for American civilization. In particular, we can thank them for rejecting socialism.

In the beginning, the pilgrims shared their economic output equally, without property rights. This unsurprisingly resulted in a shortage of food.

After the meager Thanksgiving harvest, the second season of collective farming and distribution proved equally disappointing. Gov. [William] Bradford had seen enough, recording that the system “was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort.”

So before the 1623 season, he scrapped socialist farming and replaced it with private ownership of land for each of the families. As a result of becoming responsible for their own welfare and gaining freedom to choose what to grow for consumption or trade, the Pilgrims’ productivity surged.

The rest is history.

John Stossel elaborates on the expensive lesson on the evils of socialism that the pilgrims passed on to us through American heritage:

So solid was America’s respect for property rights that 500 years later, termites of the type comprising the Democratic Party have still not been able to eat it away completely. Consequently, even if turkey is far more expensive than before Biden’s handlers took power, at least most of us still have access to turkey.

John Stossel and physicist Mark Mills of the Manhattan Institute present five inconvenient facts regarding the electric vehicles that Democrats demand we drive:

1. More electric cars will hardly dent oil use.

2. Electric cars are not all that green.

3. Batteries are really lousy at storing energy.

4. Miracle batteries powerful enough to replace fossil fuels are a fantasy.

5. We just don’t have enough electricity for all electric cars.

Details:

When authoritarian leftists like Gavin Newsom bark that every car will be electric, they mean that the vast majority of us will not have cars.

Mobility is freedom. It must be rigidly oppressed, if our moonbat rulers are to achieve enough power to inflict absolute equity on everyone but themselves.

Who decides what you can eat? In a free country, you would. In our country, moonbats do.

Nanny state authoritarianism is so ubiquitous that sometimes we forget to notice it. So that we never come to accept it, we need people like John Stossel to remind us:

Big Government and Big Business get along great. That’s why they make such great allies when it comes to ramming moonbattery down the public’s throat. Covid tyranny helped cement their symbiotic relationship, as Amazon’s profits attest. Big Government and small business are not on such good terms. John Stossel reports on how hard do-gooder bureaucrats make life for small businesses in New York City, where leftism has led to unrestricted government growth:

It is a small consolation that when moonbat overlords inflict punitive taxes on the little people, it is supposedly for their own good. The wise words of C. S. Lewis come to mind:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

German activist Rudi Dutschke believed that a society could be enslaved under communism without force of arms through a concept he called the “long march through the institutions.” Looks like he was right.

All of the key institutions have fallen and now serve to advance leftist ideology, prominently including education and the media. Obsequious displays of support for the violent lowlifes comprising Black Lives Matter marked the fall of corporate America and professional sports. Radical leftism suffuses virtually every institution, including even professional associations.

The American Medical Association now seems less interested in advancing medicine than in combatting individualism, which it denounces as “problematic,” and in advancing the radical concept of “equity” — a horrifying condition that would rob life of meaning and that could not be achieved except through coercion on a totalitarian level. Rather than curing disease, it has become the disease, having been absorbed by the leftist Borg. It has embraced both economic and cultural Marxism, as John Stossel documents:

The healthcare establishment succumbing to moonbattery will have consequences. Already federal pressure has resulted in medical apartheid, with whites last in line to receive life-saving treatment.

Imagine if the AMA is able to do to healthcare what the teachers unions have done to education. Our pets will receive better medical care than we do.

Government spending is not free. We pick up the tab for every cent of it — largely through inflation. By wastefully spending $trillions, Democrats are raiding the savings of everyone who holds American currency. Their Marxist rhetoric about corporate greed does not pass the laugh test, and if they inflict price controls, the situation will get even worse.

John Stossel explains inflation in terms so clear, even a politician should be able to understand:

Imagine how bad inflation would be if Democrats had been able to ram through their Build Back Better looting spree.

A formal name for the political ideology marketed as “progressivism” is “anarchotyranny.” California progressives will force children to take a vaccine even if they don’t need it, their parents oppose it, and the long-term consequences are unknown. But they won’t prevent mobs of scumbags from looting stores. Progressives use the “anarcho” aspect of anarchotyranny to destroy cities that fall under their control.

Liberal Mecca San Francisco is a case in point. Libertarian John Stossel and (former) liberal Michael Shellenberger are appalled at what anarchy has reduced it to, as excessive regulation makes the city unaffordable to productive citizens:

When moonbat utopia has been imposed, there will be no winners and losers, because no blade of grass will be allowed to grow taller than the others. There will be no skinned knees, because no one will be allowed to put themselves or others at risk.

The objective is that everyone be equal and safe. What countermoonbats would call wussification, enlightened liberals call “spiritual awakening.” Equity must be applied to self-esteem.

We can now see the consequences of raising a generation of children with this mentality. When it comes to math skills, Americans are #1 in self-esteem and #27 in performance.

John Stossel investigates the wisdom of placing safety and equity ahead of freedom and achievement:
