A ‘Liberty’ Rebellion in Idaho Threatens to Undermine Coronavirus Orders

There is a strong undercurrent of discontent. Even those who do not fully understand the principals of freedom are subject to the fear and anxiety of a quiet despotism.

Men are born free. We are not meant to rats in a lab.

Chicago Mayor Urges Citizens To ‘Stay Home, Save Lives’ — Until She Needs A Haircut

Rules for thee but not for me...

“I’m the public face of this city and you know, I’m a person who [takes] personal hygiene very seriously and I felt like I needed to have a haircut. So I got a haircut.”

dailycaller.com Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended her decision to get a haircut despite urging citizens to stay at home in accordance with the state order.

Does it make sense that a husband and wife should have to stand 6 feet apart in public only to go back to the same house, in the same vehicle?

Of course not, but this is the effect of tyrannical government. Rules that make no sense, that are depravedly enforced by unthinking and uncritical men.

This is why eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

WALSH: We Have Become A Police State, And None Of Us Should Be Okay With That

-Breaking up a parade

-Arresting a man for paddleboarding alone

-Getting a ticket for visiting your storage unit

This is what daily life looks like in a police state and is exactly the kind of thing that the people of the Soviet Union resigned themselves to.

Is it any consequence that none of these acts posed a risk of spreading disease? No. In a police state the rules are arbitrary and enforced cruelly and thoughtlessly.

Join us as we build our movement to fight back.

Fauci Says Lockdown Will Continue Until There Are No “New Cases” of Coronavirus

Dr. Fauci said yesterday that we can only start relaxing "social distancing" when there are no new deaths and no new cases for a "period of time".

So essentially our government's exit strategy from this lockdown is the same as it is for the Afghanistan War that has been waged for 19 years with no end in sight.

Augusta County Sheriff's Office - Sheriff Donald L. Smith

It was only a matter of time before our "pro 2a" sheriffs fell in line to lick the boot of unjust authority.

I remember these wimpy and whiney sheriffs only a few months ago saying they would defend their people against unconstitutional actions by a tyrannical governor.

When put to the test they immediately fail.

The Governor has issued a STAY AT HOME order. If the activity that you are trying to do is NOT essential, please remain at home. The Governor’s orders are clear and you can be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor for not obeying these orders. I know this time is hard on our community so I wanted to give you clear direction by showing you what the law is:

Executive Order 53

44-146.17

1) It is a violation of EO 53 to participate in a public or private in-person gathering of 10 or more individuals.

2) It is a violation of EO 53 to fail to close public access to a recreational or entertainment business.

3) It is a violation of EO 53 to fail to close a dining or congregation area in a restaurant, dining establishment, food court, brewery, microbrewery, distillery, tasting room, or farmers market.

4) It is a violation of EO 53 to fail to limit all in-person shopping at a brick and mortar retail business to no more than 10 patrons per establishment.

Executive Order 55

44-146.17

1) Institutions of higher education violate EO 55 by failing to cease all in-person classes and instruction or failing to cancel all gatherings of more than ten individuals.

2) One violates EO 55 by failing to cease a reservation for overnight stays of less than 14 nights at a privately-owned campgrounds, as defined in 35.1-1 of the Code of Virginia.

3) One violates EO 55 at a public beach as defined in 10.1-705 of the Code of VA, by engaging in any activity other than fishing an exercise. Fishing and exercise still require the same social distancing precautions. All other activities on public beaches are prohibited. ​


Please take these orders seriously and know that we need everyone’s help during this difficult time to keep you, your families, and our community safe. I hope showing you the law will help you better understand the law and ease your fears.

FL megachurch pastor arrested for hosting packed worship service

A blatant violation of the First Amendment rights to assemble and of religion.

You would think that a moral police officer would refuse to arrest this man, and I have been assured by many government agents that no officer would carry out these orders.

disrn.com A Florida pastor has been arrested on charges of unlawful assembly and health violations after he held a packed megachurch worship service in defiance of local social distancing laws.

Gun Owners of Virginia

ALL, we know that with everything going on that politics, work, the economy, and more have been shut down. This has significantly curtailed the movement of freedom-loving patriots. KNOW THIS! Virginia will get through this. While we sit patiently waiting, the agents of tyranny are not idle. They are working tirelessly to strip you of your liberty, livelihood, and lives. You should be working in this time off work and turmoil to prepare for when we come out of this. You should be meeting with your county muster forming committees(digitally or face to face) and planning for when this is over. We are in for very hard times. You have a chance right now to plan, train in small groups, get your comms up, study for ham radio test, And a LOT more. We can help. If you want to know more send us a message!

What good are constitutional rights if they are violated when Americans get sick?

washingtontimes.com You want to bring the family to visit grandma? You want to go to work? You want to celebrate Mass? These are all now prohibited in one-third of the United States.

Taking a look at today's illegal "executive action" proclaimed by the Tyrant Northam, we can see that a person is graciously allowed to:

Leave their home in order to shop,

Work,

Engage in recreation,

Visit people,

Go to church or school or a medical professional.

In practice, this seems to make no real change to the existing illegal orders, so what is the point in this "executive action"?

The point is to switch the framing from things the government has banned, to things the government allows. Now Northam need only alter one or two words of this edict in order to ban churches, to ban familial visits, to ban work, to lock us all in our homes.

This is a preparatory step in order to move his dictatorial power drastically forward.

DHS Says Fi****ms Retailers, Manufacturers ARE ‘Essential Businesses’: BREAKING NEWS

The DHS has announced that fi****ms manufacturers and retailers are "essential" while many states and localities have said not.

This fight about what is and is not essential is completely asinine.

THE PEOPLE decide what is and is not essential when they spend their scarce dollars. At this time gun shops have lines going around the block and ammo has doubled in price. Clearly, THE PEOPLE have determined self-defense to be essential.

Politicians do not want THE PEOPLE to decide what is and is not essential in our society because we may decide that it is they who are not.

ammoland.com The Department of Homeland Security has declared fi****ms manufacturers & gun retailers “essential businesses,” driving a spike through the heart of various state & local “emergency" lockdowns.

The tyrant Northam thinks we are naive enough to believe that the National Guard can shoot the virus to death.

What could they possibly be used for? To hand out food? We have that. To man the hospitals? I don't think so.

To keep people locked in their homes? Perhaps.

Be vigilant.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper just authorized Virginia's request to fund the Virginia National Guard to help save lives and protect public health. We are grateful for this support from the federal government and our representatives in Washington—together we will defeat .

No power at all.

"The congress of the United States possesses no power to regulate, or interfere with the domestic concerns, or police of any state: it belongs not to them to establish any rules respecting the rights of property; nor will the constitution permit any prohibition of arms to the people; or of peaceable assemblies by them, for any purposes whatsoever, and in any number, whenever they may see occasion."
