Capitol fencing returns for Biden's State of the Union address

[Just The News] Fencing will be reinstalled around the U.S. Capitol next week as a security precaution for President Biden's State of the Union address on March 1.

The Capitol grounds were previously fenced off and guarded with a major police and military presence for six months following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

Similar security fencing is now being put back up as U.S. Capitol Police brace for a potential protest to come to Washington, D.C., similar to the ones that have made headlines in Canada, Fox News reported.

For more than three weeks, the so-called Freedom Convoy truckers have blocked roads in downtown Ottawa in protest of Canada's COVID-19 mandates. Canadian authorities began last week cracking down on the blockade by arresting some demonstrators and freezing their bank accounts.

Another blockade temporarily blocked the busy Ambassador Bridge border crossing between Windsor and Detroit before being resolved peacefully.

#1 Fencing around the Capitol should make for some nice photo opportunities. Great marketing for the midterm election! Just be sure to use a long lens to stay out of reach of the Capitol Police.

#3 Bidet's SOTUA is a good time to catch up on sleep and do something useful. Biden will try to claim victory over Covid and Putin. Dems are worried about 2022 Congressional elections. Why two Dems who are running are so desperate, they are even promising to cut taxes if they get to DC..

#6 Require a 4x the usual dose mRNA "booster" for admission to all buildings in the district, with an all-paid lifetime vacation in a tent just inside the wire at Gitmo for refusal. Watch how fast the gummint decides "the vaxx does not work and is being discontinued immediately."

#7 Did they have fences around the Capitol during the anti-war demonstrations in DC in the 60s?
