Wise cop…
A New Jersey gym opened up to its members Monday morning in violation of Gov. Murphy’s orders. FOX News had host Pete Hegseth there as well as a camera crew. A police officer did appear, informed the crowd of about 200 that they were in volition of the governor’s order, then wished them all a nice day and waked away to the group’s loud approval. Similar scenarios are being repeated daily across the country, but in some cases, power-mad governors and mayors insist law enforcement arrest violators. No one has mentioned that the police units who showed up to face off with the Michigan protesters were not beat cops, but riot squads and SWAT teams, in full armament and gear. The reason they did nothing is that the protesters were armed.
We now know that Vitamin D increases our defenses against coronavirus, so getting outside in the sun and exercising improves not only our immune systems, but also our mental health. Multiple studies show that the coronavirus is far less transmissible outdoors. Democrats and other lock-down proponents are shifting the goal posts from not overwhelming the health system, to flattening the curve of new infections, to testing everyone, to having no new cases, to having a certain cure, to having everyone vaccinated. Don’t kid yourself — progressives don’t give a damn about you or your family as individuals, only as votes or a part of a group useful as campaign props, then discarded. You would matter much more if you were an illegal alien, because they’d be fairly sure you’d stay on the government plantation, unlike the ungrateful blacks and others who have escaped. Always remember that the goal is to have government be afraid of you, not for you to be intimidated by the government. That could loosely be called Irish democracy, when the people run over the government, or civil disobedience, which is so much more high-toned and is reserved for Antifa thugs and other groups the Left approves of.
The owner of this group of restaurants is being prosecuted, unconstitutionally in my view, by former Congressman Keith Ellison. one could conclude that Ellison’s being a Muslim would make him inimical to establishments favoring alcohol, But he has been quite happy to cheer on the street violence of Antifa. Normal Americans are beginning to rebel against overbearing government, and it is right that they should do so. It’s also high time.
Dutch tractor trail…
Dutch farmers used their tractors to snarl traffic during morning rush hour on highways leading to the Hague to protest their livestock and farming practices for being blamed for greenhouse gas emissions and a proposed crackdown on them.
Good for them!
Is it a…
…complete fail if you announce a protest to push for Trump’s impeachment and nobody — I mean ZERO people –show up? Hmmm…I believe it is…
Protest by suicide…
There are indeed honorable deaths, but setting yourself ablaze in a park to protest the alleged effect of fossil fuel consumption on the earth is not amongst them to my mind. Did David Buckel imagine this cause was more acceptable than his activism for gay rights? What a sad way to end one’s life — and so unnecessary.
UPDATE: More information about Buckel’s life and history.
And why…
…would anyone who thinks our nation is in moral trouble select Al Sharpton to lead a march entitled “One Thousand Ministers March for Justice” ?
They wouldn’t, of course, but I am amazed that the tax cheat, crook and race-baiter had some 3,000 ministers register to march with him, even by piggybacking onto the 54th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s March on Washington and his “I Have a Dream” speech. That tells me that the clergy in America is in a lot of trouble….If you read the excerpts from Sharpton’s remarks, you’ll agree. In the meantime, the rest of us need no lectures on morality from the likes of Sharpton.
Trump protest fail…
If you’re going to deliver a thousand yellow dahlias, the national flower of Mexico, to Trump’s officer as part of a protest of his policies on illegal immigration, it’s probably wise to pre-plan how you’re going to deal with the revolving door at the entrance.
Welcome to Las Vegas…
Here are some photos of the protesters welcoming His Oneness to Las Vegas. Regretfully, I have discovered no audio of the accompanying shouts of “Worst president ever!”.
Protested in Dallas…
His Oneness went to Dallas to give a pep talk on ObamaCare, but some folks protesting seemed to know a great deal more about his legacy legislation than anyone in the Administration does.
Washington Post attacked…
It probably wasn’t pleasant for WaP employees to be protested against, but the protesters were Egyptian-Americans, and there were women and children peacefully objecting to the WaPo’s failure to accurately cover events in Egypt, especially in properly blaming the Muslim Brotherhood for attacks on Christian churches. Why did the WaPo shut down its lobby and allow no one in or out when the protest, which moved on to the White House, were indeed peaceful as the paper reported? Because they are liberal wusses lead by ideological leftie wimps.
