Unscripted & Unapologetic

Usually, today is a review. A review of the week and the events that are driving closer to the goalpost.

Today I wanted to take some time to focus on the rapidly shifting narrative. I want to begin with Joe Biden’s State of the Union. I didn’t watch the address for my own health but I think reviewing one clip about 6 minutes in length is important and so we’ll get through it together. Specifically, I want to review Joe Biden’s 4-Point Plan.

First and foremost, here is the link I was struggling to find regarding the 4 scenarios, Judith Rodin, and Lockstep:

These articles range from declaring the pandemic is over to warning us not to get complacent, but one thing is consistent and that Is that the uniform narrative is shifting radically.
