No matter which "side" of the COVID arguments you happen to believe, this sums it up very well from a fundamental perspective:

Pretty  sure all CZ pistols are labeled as made in the Czech Republic but also marked CZ USA - Kansas. I think all their shotguns are made in Turkey.

Pretty sure the same basic legal situation exists here, the difference being that Hawaii's courts are packed with Democrats (fascist authoritarians) and thus the similar lawsuits have gained no traction (nor will they at the Ninth Circuit).

I don't understand why people are upset with a governor overruling the legislature... he was presented on the ballot as running for King/governor, right?

JUST IN: Wisconsin Supreme Court Strikes Down Democrat Governor’s Mask Mandate

The conservative-leaning Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Democrat Governor Tony Evers’ statewide mask mandate in a 4-3 ruling.

The state supreme court ruled that Evers violated the law by unilaterally issuing multiple emergency orders and circumventing the state legislature.

“The question in this case is not whether the governor acted wisely; it is whether he acted lawfully. We conclude he did not,” Justice Brian Hagedorn wrote for the majority.

Evers fought very hard to keep the mask mandate in place and ignored the will of the legislature, the body closest to the people that voted to repeal the mask mandate.

Governor Evers issued an emergency 60-day order in August of 2020 and continued to extend his unlawful mandates.

Last month Evers issued a new statewide mask mandate one hour after GOP state lawmakers voted to repeal the previous mask mandate.

The GOP-led Wisconsin senate last month voted 18-13 to repeal Evers’ statewide mask mandate.

The joint resolution to end Evers’ emergency order passed the Republican-controlled legislature in late February in a 52-42 vote.

Wednesday’s ruling was a huge victory for Wisconsin Republicans who spent months fighting Evers’ lockdowns and mask mandates.

“The governor’s repeated abuse of emergency powers and pervasive violation of state statute created a state of chaos and had to be stopped,” Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu said.

I noticed a change in the state/government created announcements at the airports yesterday (compared to the last time I was in airports last August) that tips their hand as to their future intentions. There was no mention of "CoVid" in the announcements. Two phrases used in two separate announcements, claiming "CDC guidelines" were that the mitigation measures (masks, social distancing) would be enforced to stop 1. "germs" and 2. "infectious diseases". Setting up the groundwork for continued state control of individuals and businesses, as there will never be an end to not only THE VIRUS!!!, but certainly never an end to "germs" and/or "infectious diseases". smh.

Also, after these threatening announcements ("failure to comply may result in being prevented from boarding or removal from an aircraft and denial of any future travel") where it was adamantly stated that you must maintain "social distancing of 6 feet" while in the gate area, and while in line to board, they then fill the plane so that nearly each person has at least 8 people within 6 feet of them for far longer than the required 15 minutes to acquire infection. Please provide me with the logical consistency of that obvious bullshit. smh.

How can anyone with a functioning brain take any of this shit seriously?

The fact that the virus almost certainly came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology gain-of-function research (banned in the U.S. as "too dangerous") funded in part by the efforts of Lord and Saviour FAUCI at the behest of the People's Liberation Army of the Chinese Communist Party as part of their bioweapons research does not require tinfoil... it's in black and white. Even former CDC director Redfield ("masks work", "social distancing works", etc., etc.) says so.

The governor replied, “It’s really about whether the science says that when you’re vaccinated, you can’t get the virus, right? And that you can’t infect others.”

so why bother getting vaccinated? Someone with some common sense needs to push back against this messaging. SO now he's saying he doesn't know if the vax protects you?

Just my theory but the leaders making decisions today were children of the 60's moving forward.  And it was these era(s) where the foundations of critical thinking and problem solving took the back seat to "no child left behind" and "nobody fails cause everyone is special."

Basically moving the uncaring, unmotivated, spoiled, and stupid kids up front, fostering the "it's ok, you're perfectly fine and beautiful in your own way" environment that gave us people like AOC among countless others today....

Don't forget the report on "common core" that now has had the 1st group of true children who only learned this way K-12 grade and they came out dumber than their peers who learned the correct way and common core was introduced later.

But OG methods of teaching also has it's share of those not too bright, as we've seen here.  Saying COVID is a shitty bio-weapon.  It shut down world economies, made people have communist/nazi type of thinking and rationale, etc... Sounds like a very good bio weapon to me.

Highly recommend the whole article if people like reading someone directly sticking it to the fascist statist authoritarian SAFETY CULT know-nothing lying propagandist hypocrites.

Democrats and News Media Made a Big Bet Against Texas Reopening, But Will They Be Forced To Pay Up If They Lose?

One of the most underrated drivers of our unprecedented reaction to the Covid-19 virus is the perverse incentive structure surrounding the extremely influential predictions of the “experts.” Thanks largely to the grossly one-sided manner in which the news media universally views this story, projections of doom and gloom are far more incentivized than those that are more optimistic.

You can be the governor of California, be the first to shut down your state based on a ridiculous projection of impending monumental catastrophe, be completely wrong, and get nothing but praise from the news media for having helped keep the worst-case scenario from ever happening (even though that outcome was never remotely plausible). Conversely, if you say that things are not actually going to be that bad, and that there is no need to radically alter life through governmental restrictions, you take the grave risk of being labeled an anti-science murderer and being “canceled.”

Because humans in general, and public figures in particular, are always more likely to do what is in their perceived self-interest (as opposed to what is right), there is little contest when it comes to which direction the “experts” tend to go. It is just a whole lot safer — not to mention more newsworthy — to predict the worst, especially when there is little downside to being wrong because the news media will conveniently forget it ever happened, or even suggest that the pessimistic projection itself caused people to “behave,” thus helping to overt the tragedy.

In short, betting on Covid calamity is usually a “heads I win, tails you lose” proposition. Which is why the overwhelming majority of “expert” forecasts have been wrong on the side of pessimism, and how the head of the CDC felt more than comfortable dramatically warning of “impending doom,” even though much of the country has either already been vaccinated, or will be shortly (the media never seems to point out this bizarre contradiction, which has administration officials often come off as rabid anti-vaxers).

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Fire Fauci and ban vaccine mandate and passport



In a double-barreled blast at the coronavirus crisis, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene today offered bills to ban COVID-19 vaccination mandates such as those called for in vaccine “passport” proposals and to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci.

In her “Fire Fauci Act” and “We Will Not Comply Act,” the controversial representative took direct aim at the Biden administration’s support for a vaccination passport and promotion of near daily advice by Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“Americans deserve better than a self-promoting career bureaucrat like Fauci, who spent the last year getting it wrong almost all of the time,” Greene said.

#WeWillNotComply with Biden’s Chinese-style vaccine “passports”!

RT!

— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) April 1, 2021

The two packages, shared with Secrets, embrace the frustration many in the nation have to further government demands to lay low and fight the spread of the virus, especially in areas where the infection rate is declining.

In the Republican lawmaker's “We Will Not Comply” proposal, Greene would bar federal funding to any business or school that requires a vaccination or a mask.

She said that vaccinations can be discriminatory against those who choose not to receive them, including those who cite religious objections. It would also bar the State Department from requiring a vaccination to receive a diplomatic travel passport.

It would not, however, stop the government from requiring that foreigners coming into the U.S. have a vaccination. “Our bill seeks to provide a vaccination carve out for our citizens, not all persons traveling to the United States,” it said.

The “Fire Fauci” legislation would cut the doctor’s pay to zero until a replacement is approved. He currently is the top paid federal worker at $434,312.

The reasoning for his firing, said the package: “Dr. Anthony Fauci has continually failed to provide Americans with accurate information about the COVID-19 pandemic and has shown distrust in the American private sector and American ingenuity.”

It would also require an audit of his office. “This allows us to see what Dr. Fauci knew, when he knew it, what the NIAID spent money on, and what policy the organization recommended surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak,” said a note to potential co-sponsors.

Why not both?  Bats from the lab?


WHO report says COVID originated in bats,
but critics claim the study was biased


Quote
The evidence for that pathway is that the market in Wuhan, the Huanan seafood
market, was selling live animals and frozen mammals. And so there's a pathway
there. There are animals that we know can carry coronaviruses in the market.
Quote
The team concluded the second most likely origin was direct transmission from
a bat to a human. Infected frozen seafood was less likely, but still possible, and
a lab leak extremely unlikely.
Quote
There's no evidence that the viruses that that lab was working with or even the
genetic sequences were the progenitor, the ancestor of SARS-CoV-2, that, when
you visit the lab, when you talk to the management, it is an efficiently run lab.
They do audits, safety checks.

China has had over a year to ensure there is no evidence ... like the doctor who blew the whistle and is now just gone.
