On Thursday evening, during President Joe Biden’s fourth State of the Union address, a significant number of essential federal government websites encountered complete outages. It remains unclear as of early Friday morning whether these outages were directly linked to the annual speech, which took place at the U.S. Capitol.
However, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail, various government agencies’ websites remained completely offline for several hours while the president was delivering his address. The affected agencies encompassed the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Secret Service.

The social media platform X witnessed a widespread dissemination of the outages, with users linking them to various factors such as Biden’s speech, global tensions, and recent website outages.
Seems a lot of this is happening right now.

“… a significant number of essential federal government websites encountered complete outages.”
What websites are “ESSENTIAL?” I’m convinced the entire Federal Bureaucracy is NON-essential! Besides nudging us toward Communism and “thinning the herd,” what good is the Federal Government?
It’s become a bloated, expensive, globalist social experiment. Citizens are secondary. It is no longer useful, except to those who would kill and subjugate us!
Arrest the Infiltrators destroying us, and again create a government that serves its people, and protects their Liberty!
Expect more ‘outage’ tests in the run-up to the election.
